Final Fight
Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze was the worst proof that humans do not care for their fellow man, they are even willing to let prejudice blind them to the fact that the before mentioned boy was just that, a young scared boy who even now runs in terror from the people of a village who by now he would be within all rights to wish complete and utter destruction upon.
The strange thing however, is that he was one of the most loyal and pure hearted beings to exist. So why was he fleeing from the people who were supposed to protect him?
That my dear readers may be one of the simplest and most damning things to know in this village.
His 'secret' is so heavily guarded that it is considered a SS-rank secret with a kill on revealing order placed on it by the only man to have ever been called the Kami of Shinobi, Hiruzen Sarutobi.
However, I'm rushing the story a bit now, so let us go to the beginning shall we.
Our true beginning starts on October 10, the day when the child who should have been made a hero for taking a charge that no one wanted or should have had to bear, and at the same time lose his only family as well.
On this day the Fourth Hokage used a jutsu that is still considered the deadliest summoning jutsu to exist, it used the Dead Demon Consuming Seal to summon the Shinigami himself to keep the yin charka of the Nine Tailed Demon Fox sealed within its stomach.
This was mixed with the Eight Trigrams Seal to seal the yang charka of the beast inside a newborn child.
The last wishes of this dying father and mother, who had appeared near the end of the fight to suppress the demon long enough four the Fourth to use the jutsu, had been that the child be shown the love and respect of a hero.
We know the truth though don't we reader, we know that if someone is so well loved and then suddenly striped from us that we would lash out and try to kill or avenge the thing that took them from us.
And that my wonderfully, beautiful readers, is how this sad tail of one of the most powerful, dark, and dangerous beings to have even had the misfortune of being born, was born.
Can there be any person who can heal what we have done in anger and spite?
Personally I believe that they will pay for what we have done, but there is almost never the right kind of justice to the right people.
Its usually the people that should have never had misfortune befall them.
Now lets go back to our dear Naruto shall we.
Age Four: October 10
Naruto had just been kicked out of the only place to have ever allowed him inside without trying to beat him, the orphanage.
Why was a four year old kicked out? Well the official reason was that he could take care of himself now, but the real reason was that the owners hated him with an unnatural passion and only wished to see him in absolute pain.
Now as he walked around the village he was looking for two things.
One: A place to sleep. (Its raining this night)
Two: Something that would be able to at the very least ease the hunger pains that had been caused by the lack of food for five days.
Naruto walked by this stand that had some great smells coming from it, and he being the curious little child that he was, walked into said stand to see a man wearing a hat with his daughter making some strange food.
Now the man had seen the young dirty child walk into his ramen stand and he also knew who this child was, but would this information ever stop him from selling ramen to the child?
What would he be, stupid? Of course he would allow the child to eat here.
"Hey there little one, are you here for some ramen?" the kind looking man asked. Naruto responded by nodding his head, but replied, "I would love some food sir, but I don't have any money."
At this Naruto, feeling full of shame, fled from the stand and ran strait in the Third Hokage himself.
Naruto thinking he was in even more trouble seemed to faze from sight in his panic to get away. Now if he had stayed he would have had a great birthday and made many new friends sooner, but it was his devil's luck that, seeming to be at its worst, he ran into the worst part of town for him, the part where people only wished to do as they thought their lost kage would have wanted them to do, Kill the Kyuubi brat once and for all.
What was worse, the worst of these people had been drinking and had just left the bar to see Naruto fall into some mud in front of them.
Now these people took it as a sign that the gods wanted him dead as well and proceeded to beat and hurt Naruto far a few hours before the Hokage found them and ordered the to be taken to the head of the Torture and Research department, Ibiki Morino, they were never seen again when he heard what they had done to Naruto, Ibiki had seen how bead Naruto's life was and had come to view him as the little brother that he had lost.
Naruto was then taken to the hospital and left there to be treated with the threat that if anyone hurt him while he was there he would have the entire hospital staff executed.
Age Five: October Ninth
Naruto had been give an apartment and he had been hiding there for the past two days hoping that the villagers would not learn of his whereabouts, but on the tenth they boarded up his windows, sealed his door shut, and set fire to the apartment, Naruto screamed for two hours before a man who was passing by on his patrole stopped and ran to help.
When his laws of gravity defying, silver hair was singed he thought that he should just leave, but when he saw the child on the floor barely moving, he rushed him to the hospital only to be told that they refused to help the boy.
The Hokage appeared around the corner at that moment and ordered Naruto to be treated only for the entire hospital to threaten to quit if they were ordered to help the demon brat again. The receptionist who was the loudest suddenly screamed when a young ANBU with blazing Sharingan, killed her and spoke to the rest of the staff in a monotone voice, that showed less emotion than even a rock, "Any who refuse to help him follow her into the next life and I swear to you that I will make it so slow that it truly would not have been worth the time to refuse him."
They healed the child that night before throwing him outside the second they were done.
Age Seven: October Tenth
Naruto ran as he had never before, the mob was bigger that ever this year and he was so scared that he forgot to listen to the one thing that had saved him for the last three year since he had been forced out of the orphanage and left to rot on the streets at four years.
He had often wondered if the gods truly hated him, or whether they just seemed to find him useful as their whipping boy. (He couldn't be further from the truth, except for the evil gods as they like the pain of any and all, but the Gods and Goddesses were under strict rules to never interfere with the mortals they had created.)
The reason why the mob was bigger this year though was, other than terrible timing for the seven year old, because the Third Hokage had left for important leader duties and the ANBU Black Ops. that had been assigned to protect the boy had turned on him and were with the mob trying to kill the weak, defenseless child that was constantly called a demon, a monster, and at one point he swore he heard them call him the Kyuubi.
Naruto was small for his size, wore rags that even the beggars would not have, had such bright blond hair, and had the brightest, most captivating blue eyes that had ever been seen in Konoha.
This all didn't matter to the mob that had finally done it, they had cornered the demon, and what followed was so evil and traumatizing to just watch that it would be completely and totally impossible to even try to describe, but the result was ungodly in its power and what was worse it came to save the child from the most unlikely source to have ever existed.
The Nine Tailed Demon Fox, the Kyubbi No Yoko unleashed its demonic powers on the people who had harmed the innocence of a child, it was the most fearful thing to have even been felt, it even made a mockery of the night the Fourth died, but what was strange was that everybody who had raped the boy felt what the survivors, and there were only three and only two were still somewhat sane, claimed to be a fury so much like that of a woman's when she discovers she is being peeped on.
Those that felt it did one of two things.
One: Ran like the devil him/herself (I'm not sexist) was after them.
Two: Fell to the ground in fear, begging for mercy, and pissed themselves.
Then as this happened Naruto was pulled into a strange sewer like place that he had never seen before. As he walked he felt absolutely nothing for anything, it was as if he had lost everything to care for. The most startling thing though, was what had happened to his eyes, they had nothing in them.
Now when I say nothing I mean he had no warmth, cold, or even indifference. Naruto's eyes had turned into those of a soulless creature that had lived for eons and had witnessed uncountable amounts of horror and chaos in it life.
When he came to the cage that had been the source of the pull he had felt, and saw the deadliest looking grin to exist, he looked...like he didn't even realize that if was there.
The creature with the grin frowned and asked, "To what do I owe the pleasure of my containers visit."
Naruto didn't respond, but he did move forward and slipped through the bars holding the giant fox that looked on in curiosity as a human came toward it without any emotions surrounding it.
"Hey...uh kit, are you feelin OK?" Asked the demon.
Naruto said something so low that the demon fox had to shrink to its human form to hear it.
"Sorry what did you say?" Asked the now hot, naked girl who appeared to be around sixteen with flowing red hair, a body with curves that would put any human female's to shame, and a voice that had to have been made by angles themselves.
"Kill me please." Was the only thing that came for Naruto, and it wasn't the request that caused the greatest demon to exist to take a step back in fear.
The Kyuubi started to shake under the unwavering look from the human that had inhuman things done to it by the people that were supposed to revere him.
'What horrors could have happened to him that awoke me and led to this?' Wondered Kyuubi, "Kit? What happened to give you that...look that you have now, the memories that I've seen so far are all..." Then the bad memories hit her, followed by the worse memories, and bringing up the rear of that were the worst of the worst things that had happened to such a young innocent soul.
The Demon who had seen it all, who had killed and destroyed in every way that is conceivably possible, fell to her knees and wept while she felt, saw, and heard what had to be a life that truly did deserve a quick and painless death.
While Kyuubi wept and watched his memories Naruto, well he just watched her and felt...nothing from it.
"K...kit thats...(sob)...thats not even possible to survive in the demon world...(sob)...how did you...(sob)...live through it as a human?"
Now Kyuubi had done things that were worthy of demonhood, but never to the young, and never to such a scale as to torture a four year old that had just been kicked out of its only home.
"A mask was used to keep them from knowing the true me, now please give me my one true wish Lady Kyuubi." Nothing in his voice or speech showed to slightest bit of emotion.
"I...I can't Naruto, but I will give you something else if you will let me." Kyuubi said with hope that this boy who deserved to be risen to Godhood for his sheer will power alone.
"..." Naruto looked at her before a slight twist of the head showed that he was at least ready to hear what she was offering.
"I will give you..."
Sorry but I think if you want more then you'll have to wait for the Next chapter.
This story was inspired by a very good friend of mine passing away recently who alway encouraged me to futher my love of the strangest things, and a bad event that occurred to me recently.
I'll miss you ShadowBlade (this was his nickname that was given to him by me when we were young and it stuck for most of her life) just in case there is a ShadowBlade who uses this site.
