Birth of a Dark Knight
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or anything else. So don't sue me
Authors Note: This is my first story so I want comments about my story about what to improve upon and what to keep doing. NO FLAMES!!!! If you don't like it, say how I can improve. Furthermore, for a lot of things, I'll have the readers vote. Hope you enjoy the story. Also, this story will start after the Sasuke retrieval arc and go on how I see fit. Note that the first few chapters may seem boring, but I'm trying to get the story set up.

Just outside Konoha, The Village Hidden in the Leaves, the group that was sent to retrieve the traitor Sasuke was returning. Most of them had sustained heavy injuries, but they continued on. They had failed their mission and barely made it back.
Up, on the gate, one of the guards notices the group. "Hey, open up the gates! The group that was sent to get the Uchiha is back," he called to his partner.
The gates open up and the group walks inside. Immediately five of them are taken by medics to the hospital, leaving one Uzumaki Naruto. A mob of villagers surround him and stars saying things that he had expected to hear.
"Where's the Uchiha?"
"Stupid Demon!"
"He probably killed him just like our famalies twelve years ago!"
"Kill him!"
The villagers start pelting him with stones wishing for his death. Being to tired to move, Naruto can do nothing to stop the onslaught of stone hitting him. It was then that he thought he had been saved. Haruno Sakura, his longtime crush had appeared.
"Naruto, where is Sasuke-kun?" she asked. "I'm sorry Sakura-chan. I tried to bring him back. I really did, but I promise that I'll try harder next time."
Sakura stepped closer to Naruto a did something he never expected her to do. She slapped him!
"You baka! You probably didn't even try! You just wanted him to leave so you wouldn't have any competition since Sasauke-kun is way better and stronger than you! You should just die!" She slapped him again and stormed off, leaving him with the villagers. It was then that Naruto broke down. The person that he thought would be his friend slapped him and wished he would die. His heart finally broke. The villagers just smirked and picked up weapons to finish the job.
However, the villagers were stopped in their tracks by the appearance of the Godaime Hokage Tsunade and the Frog Hermit Jiraiya. "What's going on here!" she shouted. A brave, or very stupid, villager stepped up and said, "We are doing what should have been done many years ago. We are going to get rid of that demon filth!" He was immediately sent flying by Tsunade's chakra reinforced punch.
"No one ever say that! He has done so much to protect this village and yet this is how you treat him? Get out of my sight!" The villagers disperse, rather angrily, leaving Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Naruto. "Tsunade, we need to get Naruto to the hospital NOW!!" screamed Jiraiya. Tsuande nodded and they quickly took him there.
A few hours later
Naruto lay in a hospital bed, looking up at the ceiling, lost in his thoughts. 'I couldn't keep my promise. And because of that, Sakura hates me.' 'Don't dwell on it kit. You've done all you can. It's thats pink-haired girls fault. She did nothing while you risked your life. You owe her nothing,' replied Kyuubi. 'Thanks Kyuubi.' 'No problem, but the woman with the overly large bust is coming and I need to sleep.'
Tsunade walked into Naruto's room to check on him. As soon as she walked in, she noticed he wasn't his normal self. He was calm. "he brat, you okay?" she asked the person that she considered a son. "Not really. I don't know if I can take it anymore. I mean, I can deal with the glares, but after what Sakura did, I don't know what to do." And with that, naruto started crying.
Tsuande, seeing this, immediately rushed to his side to embrace him. "Sshh. please don't cry. I don't want to see my precious people cry." With that, Naruto started to calm down. "But what should I do ba-chan?" At that, a stress vein appeared on Tsunade's forehead, but she quickly calmed down. Probably either to the fact that she can't hit patients or that he was getting back to his old self. "I don't know, but there's something that I need to discuss with you." "What would that be?" asked Naruto, clearly confused. "I've already had the paperwork filled out but I want to know your answer. How would you like to be adopted?"
At this, Naruto did the only thing he could at the moment. He fainted.
A few moments later, he woke back up and asked Tsunade, "Really?" "Yes. I always have thought of you as a son and have decided to adopt you. So what do you say?" At this, Tsunade saw that Naruto's usual fake smile disappeared and a true smile, as well as a few tears, were on his face. "I would love that so much kaa-san."
Tsuande smiled at this and gave him a motherly hug. "Now get better and in a few days and we'll get your stuff so you can live with me." She then got up and left Naruto to his own thoughts. To Naruto, his life was looking great.
Well, here is the end of the first chapter. Now it is time for a vote: pairing. It's all up to the readers, but note I will not do any yaoi, Naru/Saku, or Naru/Tsu. Anyone else is fine, even OC's. Heck, I'll even try a Harem if you want. Till next time.
