You wouldn't believe where I got the idea for this story... anyway, hope you like! Devil Hinata

--- In Suna---

The Kazekage paced in his office. What was he going to do? The demon had started to get worse and worse. He was getting uncontrollable. He had killed four of his jounins seven chunins and he wouldn't even go to the genins and civilians. He only had one choice. Gaara had to go. Now.

He had tried all of those assassinations. But the wretched boy had killed them all. He was backed into a corner. He had to get rid of the child, but it was easier said than done. The boy would be able to cling to life, he knew, even f he were to be sent on an S-rank mission. Even if the clinging were just barely, it would be able to return and protect himself from all while it healed.

Suddenly, the Kazekage stopped his pacing. Why hadn't he thought about it before? Of course! He sat down at his desk and began writing a letter.

---Amegakure---

The Amekage was having a problem. The girl was a lot more trouble than she first thought. Many of the civilians were constantly trying to kill the young girl. They child had ended up in the hospital more times than was necessary, and she couldn't continue to watch the child all day everyday.

She'd heard of the Kazekage with the same problem. If rumor served right then that meant he had infact shipped of his own jinchuriki already.

The Amekage sat quietly. Should she do the same for the girl? It was true. The child wasn't safe here. She needed a place where she could grow. It is a truly sad thing when a child has not seen the world. Yet it is even more sad when the child has seen enough of it to know that they do not wish to live anymore. On that thought the kage knew what she had to do. She got out her brush. She had a lot of explaining to do.

---Kirigakure---

The child wept silently. He hated these people. What had he done? All they did was treat him badly. He made a decision. He wasn't staying. He went to his little room in the orphanage. Dodging the glares and angry looks as he went. He packed all of his things into a small pack.

Slowly, he snuck out into the night. He would never be found. If he was, he'd kill himself.

---Kumogakure---

He stared at the young boy. His eyes were cold. Dead it seemed. It was as if the child's soul had been doused in ice cold water and had frozen. The ice had yet to thaw.

The child did not speak. Did not move. He didn't even look to be breathing. But he was.

There was word going around. Two demon-children had been sent away. One had run away. Should he follow the example? The boy didn't seem to mind being here. The Raikage knew otherwise. The boy was only waiting for a moment to strike. To kill all of the citizens that ever called him demon. Waiting for the moment when the Raikage's head was turned.

Sighing he finally spoke. "It's time for a change."

---Iwagakure---

He looked out the window. There was a young girl in a tree nearby. Crying at the mob around her threw rocks and sticks at her. They were drunkards obviously. The ones whose rocks hit laughed. Time to put a stop to this. The brat was just too much. Time to do the same as so many before him.

---Hoshigakure---

He wondered when the child had started to stop crying. Stopped seeming to care. While this village was not one of the five greatest, the village was certainly great. The boy seemed to had the heart of the star from the start, but slowly, the light dimmed. He needed a better place. For while he had the heart. He was not well-liked. The children ignored him as well. His star was waning. He needed to go somewhere where his heart would shine bright.

---Yuki Country---

The boy shivered. No matter where he went, it was always cold. Even here. He looked around. He knew he wouldn't be missed. He hated the cold. He wanted to go somewhere warm. Somewhere he would have a place. Where he would be needed. He got up. His journey for someplace warm was going to be a long one.

---Konoha---

The boy looked at the Hokage. He pouted. The dumb merchant had it coming. Looking at him like that. Who did he think he was anyway? Besides, what evidence did they have? He had made sure that the incident was left anonymous.

"Naruto..." the Hokage looked tired. And he was. This was the third time this week, for Pete's sake!

"I didn't do it! There was no evidence! You can't prove anything! I shall not be silenced!" The boy put on a brave front, jumping onto his chair with bravado.

"There was foot-print near the crime. The foot-print was paint covered." The Hokage said slowly.

"You can't prove anything! That print could have been anyone else!!" The boy replied. Not missing a beat.

"Naruto, can I see your left shoe?" The kage questioned.

The boy blinked. "Uhhhh... Got To GO!" he said ending in a yell, as he took off. He opened the door and ran out. Only to run into a red headed boy.

He fell on the ground. "Owwwwww..." He rubbed his head.

He looked up. The boy was glaring at him. Naruto flinched slightly. "What? Do I got something on me face?!" He said not to nicely.

The boy just scowled. "Watch where your going, stupid."

Naruto wasn't even paying attention to him anymore. He looked at a bunch of other children behind the "jerk-guy" as Naruto now childishly called him in his mind. They were all staring at him too.

He blushed lightly. "Quit staring at me!"

Out of nowhere, he felt himself being lifted by the back of his collar. "Naruto. I never did get to see your shoe." the voice, though tired, sounded frustrated as well.

"Oh well ... ehehehe... you see... that jerk deserved it anyway! He doesn't even know me but he looks at me with such cold eyes! He's got no place! Anyone who looks at me like that will get hit with whatever I got! I decided form now on that I would get them all back! When I become Hokage, they'll have no choice but to respect me. I'll make the people respect me! They'll regret the day they ever messed with Uzumaki Naruto!" The boy finished his long speech with a good sized measure of his usual bravado.

"Yes, well, you should not dump paint on everyone that glares at you, Naruto. Most of them are ignorant. If you were to do that to all of them, then you wouldn't ever gain their respect." The Hokage looked exasperated. Obviously having had to say this many time before.

Naruto only grimaced. "I will gain their respect someday. But for now, they're all going to pay. With their hair being neon green!" he said cheekily.

The Kage sighed. He'd been doing that too often nowadays. "Naruto don't be surprised when I set you on cleaning duty soon."

"Heh. Of course! It'll only give more time to think of future pranks!" Naruto was excited.

"Fine, Naruto." Giving up the Sandaime looked to the other children. "Ah. You must be the..." He trailed of. "Naruto. Why don't you show them around? Here's the keys to the house they'll be staying at. You too Naruto."

"Eh? Why me? I already got a apartment." Naruto looked at them too.

"Yes. But I wish for someone who know them to be around so they won't get lost for the time being. So go get your stuff and check out of your apartment. I assure you all you'll eventually have your own apartments. This is only temporary." The Hokage smiled at them kindly.

Naruto did his own little sigh. "Fine... lemme go get my stuff." He jumped out the window.

The Kage allowed them to sit while they waited for Naruto to return. He did eventually. But he looked to be in a horrible mood. He stood scowling in the door, as he waited for the Kage to tell him where to go.

"Naruto, you'll be going to the house that was near where your old apartment was before. The one that has been empty for years. You all will have some cleaning to do. But nothing I don't think you won't be able to handle." Sandaime looked curious to the boys bad mood, but didn't say anything.

"'Kay" he said as he took the keys. "Come on." he looked at them. They all got up and followed him to the house. As they walked to streets, people glared at them. They were actually glaring at Naruto, but they didn't know that.

When Naruto say the others unease. He whispered quietly, "Don't worry. They're looking at me. Not you. Your knew. Why would they hate you?"

They all seemed to hear him because they calmed a bit, yet stayed on their guards.

The rest of the walk was a tense one. With each glare Naruto got he returned with a more venomous one. Slowly, the passer-by trickled to none. All going about their business. Resolving to just ignore the boy.

When they got to the house, Naruto opened the gate. "Welcome home." He said turning with a tiny smile.

The children around him got wide eyes. A girl burst out crying. Naruto looked confused. What had he said?

So, what you think? I'm not so sure about the storyline, but I hope to continue with the story. Just need to make sure I've got the basic time line. Sorry that I didn't get their descriptions in. But I was only going for an introduction. I'll get their looks in next chapter. If there is one. Devil Hinata.
