Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. Or any of the characters in it.


Naruto was five and he was already running from the mob of villagers.

-October 10-

Today Naruto had held his own little birthday with the Old Man, his only friend. Sarotobi gave him a small, new stuffed fox that, Naruto adored and took it with him everywhere.

But now that did not matter.

Naruto had been on his way to the grocery store when he got attacked by about 15 villagers.

They pushed him down streets and allays.

More and morepeople joined the 'party' the farther they went.

Soon the people pushed him onto the ground. Looking around Naruto noticed that they were in the slums of Konoha. No-one would see them hurting Naruto here.

"Monster! We are now going to beat you for what you did to us. Each and everyone one of us has had at least one family member or friend killed by you. We want revenge!"

The man that had spoken was standing in front of Naruto.

He had an ugly scowl on his face, the left front tooth was missing and all his teeth were yellow.

The other people were in similar conditions.

Naruto shuttered to think about what they were planning to do to him, no matter wat, he knew it would be painful.

What Naruto did not understand was why these people took joy in hurting him, saying that he killed family, relatives, or friends.

Just like these people.

This was the biggest group to attack him so far.

Usually it was just 10 or 15 people, but now, there were at least 50.

He was scared.

Terrified.
He didn't want to lose his life.

Then slowly, one by one, each person came over to him and gave him a deep cut.

It would be anywhere on his body.

Some people would give him five, some gave him only two, some gave him what felt like ten, and only a few gave him one.

Naruto guessed that depending on the number of slashes, that was the number of people 'he' had killed that had hurt the persons' heart.

The last person came, the leader. He gave Naruto a total of 8 wounds.

He then pulled a whip from his pocket and lashed out on him with it.

He whipped Naruto on the back. On number 15, Naruto began to lose consciousness, but the whipping continued.

After number 20, the man decided to stop.

"Beast! Now you will feel-"

Suddenly 5 ninja arrived on the scene. Naruto mentally sighed with relief, as his attackers slowly backed away.

But they only grinned and asked if they could join the 'fun'.

Everyone smiled and the leader of the mob told the ninja about the cutting.

The five ninja stepped forward and each attacked Naruto, one at a time.

The first one made six marks, the second four, the third five, the fourth eight, and the last and who seemed the leader of the group stepped forward and cut a grand total of fifteen.

The whole lot of villagers gasped as the last ninja did his part.

Then the villagers took out pitchforks, torches, knives and things of the sort.

The ninjas grabbed kunai and shuriken.

All of them began to brutally hurt Naruto.

Most of the time, they were tearing off his flesh or hitting his bones.

They were breaking bones as well.

After a long time they stopped and slowly dispersed, leaving Naruto to die, slowly and painfully.

Naruto was knocked out cold and was walking around in his own, 'dream world'.

He was inside a sewer, and the water was cold and deep, up to his knees as he walked around.

Looking up he noticed that there were red, blue, white, and purple pipes.

Suddenly Naruto heard a low growl and saw a small door off to the side of his 'dream world'.

Entering the door Naruto immediately noticed the giant glowing fox eyes that were trapped in a giant cage.

Naruto could only stare in wonder as the whole body of the animal became visible.

It was a giant fox with nine tails.

The blonde kid summed up that he was probably not even the size as the things pinky claw.

"I meet my jailor at last."

"You can talk?"Naruto asked, surprise hidden in his voice.

"Is your image of me a dumb idiot?"

"No..."

"Good because I'm not. Continuing on, I called you here for an offer. But first, the introductions.

"Your Naruto, my jailor. And I'm Kyuubi, imprisoned in you and the Kyuubi no Kitsune.

"I was trapped or sealed in you by the Fourth Hokage during my rampage. You are what is called a jinchuuriki, that is when you have one of the nine tailed beasts inside you.

"There are eight others like you, but you are the strongest because I am the king of demons.

"I could give that place to you. My offer is that I train you and make you be able to master all nine of my tails.

"As you do this you would grow tails. The number of tails you have is the number of tails you have mastered.

"Also you have a bloodline. Bloodlines originally come from demons, so bloodlines like the Rennegan, Byakugan, and the Sharingan are not at their full potential with mortals.

"Because of me, you have all the existing bloodlines at your disposal. You have a bloodline that controls those bloodlines. Plus, you have another bloodline that will be explained later, if you accept my offer.

"But in return for my kind services, I want something. I want you to kill Uchiha Madara. I will help you obtain this, and with the training I will put you through, you could do it."

For a long time Naruto just sat there, but then he looked up.

"You obviously don't plan on training me here in the Hidden Leaves right? I'm not going to ask about where we go, just if we can come back at some point or even points."

"Smart child. Yes, I guess we will. But we can't leave until after the first gennin exams. You will need your headband. You will need to meet your team and sensei. You would need to go to the first meeting to certify you being a gennin. Do you except my offer?"

"Yes."

"Good. First things first, get a new change of clothes."

Naruto wandered around town, hidden behind a genjutsu. Right now he looked like any average 5 year old with brown hair and tan skin. It felt nice to not be glared at and be offered free candy (that he politely excepted) like any other normal kid.

Finally he got to the place he was looking for.

A clothing store.

Entering the store, Naruto was greeted by a friendly old lady.

She had him try out lots of different outfits, to see which one fit him better.

At last he settled on a tight black shirt that had the Uzumaki symbol on the left sleeve in orange, he also got ninja pants.

While paying and thanking the women, he left.

Next he headed to a ninja store (still in his genjutsu) to get supplies. In there he got storage scroll, kunai, shuriken, a leg and a butt pouch.

As he was paying, he was admiring the swords and kantanas on the wall, he noticed a kantana briefly as a door swung open then shut again when a person went through.

"Excuse me sir," Naruto started, "Do you have anymore kantanas than the ones on the walls over here?"

The man looked up and down 'Naruto' for a moment, before saying "Follow me." and throwing the stuff Naruto had just bought at him.

The two went to the back of the shop where Naruto had seen the kantana. The man opened the door and pushed Naruto through.

This time Naruto got a good look at the kantana.

It was completely white and on the bottom of the hilt there was the Uzumaki symbol.

The man pulled the sword out of its' sheath for Naruto to see.

It was one of the finest one made that he had ever seen.

"I have been waiting for that Uzumaki kid to come here so I could give it to him. I don't expect him to be here any time soon though, with the way all those idiot villagers treat him. I'd half expect him to be you kiddo. In fact..."

The man waved his hand above Narutos head, and in the genjutsu.

Naruto was shorter than most kids his age, and so he had to make his genjutsu taller hence why the man could put his hand through.

The genjutsu wavered away, leaving Naruto standing there in his still ripped up bloody jumpsuit. But the Kyuubi had healed the cuts, leaving just the marks in his clothes.

But Naruto was still covered in blood.

"Why... why would any villagers do this to a 5 year old?"

"Not just villagers sir, shinobi too," Naruto said softly.

The old mans face went red with anger as he was told about the beat-up that had happened earlier that day.

"Here boy. Your mother left this in my care so that I could give it to you when you came." the man handed Naruto the kantana.

"Boy, put that gen something back on and head back home. Take the kantana too."

Naruto did just that.
