Chapter 1: The Beginning
Konoha Hidden Village
Naruto and Hinata's Age is 3, Anko is 14
Demon brat…
Snake whore…
Disappointment…
That's what the Villagers called them. How the Hyūga's called them.
Naruto Uzumaki the unknowing container of the Kyuubi, he held the Kyuubi prisoner with the seal the fourth Hokage had placed on him keeping the Village safe but the Villager didn't see it that way. They saw him as the Kyuubi reborn.
So they tortured him.
Anko Mitarashi the betrayed apprentice of Orochimaru the Sannin, Apprentice of the Traitor, the mad genius, the killer of their loved ones. It didn't matter that Anko had been betrayed by Orochimaru.
She was the last link the Village had to the Sannin, their only way to get revenge.
So they tortured her.
And Hinata Hyūga the ex-heiress without the Byakugan. The disgrace to her clan. It didn't matter that it was not her fault that she didn't have the Byakugan in the eyes of her clan and thus the Village she was worthless.
A disgrace, her very existence an offence.
So they tortured her.
H.T.B
When Hinata had been banished from her clan, the elders didn't even see the need to put the caged bird Seal on her. Deeming the ink more important than her.
The Elders Had decided to starve her before they had ultimately beaten her and then thrown her out, her twin sister grinning gleefully.
The only ones who had protested against her banishment where her cousin Neji and his Father. They had suffered for it.
When she had been thrown out on the cold streets of the village in the middle of September she had promptly been hunted by an angry mob of villagers, intent on removing her from existence.
Two days she had survived by hiding behind dumpsters and crawling into vents. On the third day she could no longer take it and crawled behind a dumpster.
No longer holding the will to life like this, she rolled herself into a ball and began to cry. Then suddenly someone entered the alleyway.
That's how she had met him.
A blonde haired boy who like her had been living on the streets.
His name was Naruto Uzumaki.
H.T.B
Naruto Uzumaki had a rough life up to this point.
He had been hunted by the Villagers for as long as he could remember.
He had been stabbed, burned, kicked, poisoned, starved and beaten. So he wasn't surprized when he had been thrown out of the orphanage.
He had expected it really.
The only surprise was that it had taken so long. When he landed face first on the cold streets of Konoha in the middle of September he knew that he would need to hide or the villagers would kill him.
So he ran, the Kyuubi living inside him enhanced his speed beyond that of even an elite Jonin. That's how he had managed to escape.
For ten days he had managed to survive on his own on the streets. Mostly due to the fox temporarily taking over and stealing food for his container in order to survive. He had been slowly turning feral, his thoughts becoming more and more animalistic in order to see the next day.
As he was stealing food from the local Bakery he heard a soft sobbing echoing from a dark alleyway. He didn't know why but the sound hurt his little heart like nothing before.
Deciding to see what the source of this sound was, he entered the alleyway and found a little girl around his age dressed in a tattered Hyūga dress lying behind a dumpster. She had violet hair but missed the characteristic eyes of the Hyūga-clan. The little girl was crying, her whole body was shivering from the cold.
"W-who a-are you? A-are y-you alright?" Naruto asked her.
"I'm H-Hinata. P-please don't hurt m-me." She stuttered. The way Hinata tried to crawl away from Naruto made the boy realize that she was hurt and had suffered like he had.
He looked at her and realized that she had been starved and desperately needed food. Earlier today he had managed to steal a loaf of bread. It was halfway rotten but it would feed him so he took it. Deciding that Hinata needed the food more than he did he broke of the rotten part and gave the edible side to Hinata and kept the rotten side for himself.
"Don't worry I won't hurt you. I am Naruto. Here take this you need it." He said as he handed her the bread.
H.T.B
Anko hated her life.
She hated the villagers.
She hated the ninjas living in the village.
But most importantly she hated her old teacher Orochimaru.
He had betrayed her, used her, experimented on her against her will.
And when she no longer held any use to him, he had abandoned her. Now she was alone in the world.
Her parents had died two years ago on a mission in Suna. They had been hit by a freak sandstorm and did not survive.
Anko then had turned to her teacher for guidance. He had used her trust against her, tricked her and then he had betrayed the Leaf. Using her as a human shield in order to escape.
The wounds she had received from the Hunter-nin who had tried to catch him had left her in hospital for weeks.
When she had returned to her home, she had been informed that the civilian council had ceased it as a punishment for Orochimaru's betrayal and her help in his escape.
They did not care that she had tried to stop her former master. She was his student so she was responsible. End of discussion.
So now she was without a home, no family or teacher to turn to. She was alone. And the villagers trying to kill her or worse did not make her situation any better.
H.T.B
Back with Naruto and Hinata
"W-Why are y-you helping m-me?" a confused Hinata asked Naruto.
"Because it is the right thing to do." He answered.
"Thank you." She said. "Just eat, you look starved." Naruto said.
Hinata merely nodded and began eating the bread she had been given. It was her first meal in days and she was grateful for it.
"So why are you out here on your own? I know that the villagers hate me and I have been thrown out of the orphanage. Do they hate you too?" Naruto asked.
Hinata's eyes began tearing up as she told Naruto her story of how she didn't have her clan's bloodline and was seen as a crime against nature, her very existence an insult to the Hyūga-clan. "That's stupid. Why do some special eyes make them better than you? I think your family is mean. Well I like you, I don't care if you have some special eye or not." Naruto stated as he hugged Hinata.
"T-thank you. No one has ever said that to me." Hinata said as she embraced Naruto's hug.
It felt so right to her, somehow she felt safe in this strange boys arms. Drawing comfort from each other they drifted off into the land of Morpheus. Naruto's body heat keeping Hinata warm.
In his sleep Naruto instinctively covered Hinata with his body shielding her from the elements.
H.T.B
With Anko, the next Day
She had managed to steal some things from her old home.
While the council had barred the front gate to her ancestral home, they did not know all the secret entrances to it. So Anko had snuck in and taken back all of her belongings, including her mother's throwing knifes.
Her father had shown Anko how to use a sealing scroll, so she had used the sealing scroll she had gotten when she became a genin to seal up all of her things along with her most important family heirlooms.
Now she was yet again running from an angry mob of villagers. Why couldn't they just leave her alone? It was not her fault that the Snake bastard had betrayed the Leaf, and hurting her would not make things better.
Tears where running down her face as she ran for her life, the sadness in her heart slowly overwhelming the young girl. Tormenting her as she rant, whispering to her that it would be easier to get caught. At least it would be over if they got her.
But her hatred for Orochimaru kept her going. He had made a mistake when he had left her alive, she would get her revenge. Sooner or later she would get her revenge.
She was planning on leaving the hidden Leaf, knowing that she would only suffer if she stayed. But she didn't want to follow her old masters footsteps and become a missing-nin.
So she stayed for now. Even if she hated it she stayed.
H.T.B
With Naruto and Hinata
When Naruto had woken up he had found Hinata clinging to him as if he was the only thing keeping her alive in this world. "I will protect you I swear." He thought. He gently shook Hinata's shoulder in order to wake her.
"N-Naruto?" She whispered as she awoke. She had a pleasant dream last night.
A boy had found her when she had hidden herself behind a dumpster. He had been nice to her and even gave her food. When she realized that she was hugging someone she realized that it hadn't been a dream.
"You are real? I didn't dream it?" Naruto chuckled as he heard this. "Yes Hinata I am real don't worry I won't leave you." He said. Hinata merely nodded she was too happy to talk.
"Look what we have here guys. Our clan's failure and the demon brat. Today must be our lucky day. Hiashi will pay us handsomely for removing these two from our village." A cold voice said from the alleyways entrance.
The two children's heads whipped around in order to see who had said this.
There at the entrance of the alley stood four men, the Leader of them was a particularly cruel Hyūga by the name of Akuro Hyūga. Said man had taken great pleasure in starving Hinata when she had lived at the compound.
He threw a kunai at Hinata, intent on killing her instantly. He was very surprised when she managed to evade it, knocking herself out in the process as she hit the dumpster when she dodged. But it didn't matter this Kunai had an explosive tag attached to the handle. When it blew up it hurt Hinata and Naruto very badly.
"H-Hinata" Naruto croaked as he crawled over to his new friend, trying to protect her from further harm.
"Look at this guys. The demon is trying to save the failure how disgusting. Let's teach those abominations a lesson." Akuro said as he drew another explosive kunai.
H.T.B
With Anko a few Minutes earlier
As Anko was making her way across Konoha in order to find some food she saw a group of Jonin entering an alleyway, grinning madly.
What she saw when she followed the Jonin made her blood freeze.
At the end of the alleyway was a pair of young children hiding behind a dumpster. She could see that those two had been abused. Judging by the boy's state he had been starved for a long time. It was a wonder that he was alive, she could see his ribs through the tattered clothes he wore. The girl wasn't much better off. You could see the scars of multiple beatings on her skin and she looked very frightened.
As if she knew the Jonin who had entered the alleyway and feared them.
What happened next made her so angry her cursed seal triggered, the Jonin who lead the group taunted the children before throwing a kunai at them. She was impressed when the girl managed to dodge the projectile.
But her hopes for the children was short lived. When the kunai exploded she was overcome by the seal. Such Filth had no place in this world. Without thinking she charged at the Jonin. She lodged her mother's throwing knifes in the backs of the first two but the one who had thrown the kunai turned around and smirked at her.
"Today must indeed be my lucky day. Get to kill the failure, the Kyuubi brat and the snake whore in one go. Lucky me." He said seemingly not caring that his two team mates where dead.
Anko could not control her body since she was overcome by the cursed mark so she charged the man blindly, abandoning any form of defence. Only thinking about destroying the monster in front of her and saving the children it attacked. She had not realized that her opponent was a Hyūga.
Akuro easily deflected Anko's charge, throwing her atop of the other two children before once again throwing an explosive Kunai at them.
H.T.B
Inside Naruto's Mind Kyuubi's Cage
Kara had watched the last three years of Naruto's life. She had seen how he had been abused by the villagers when they tried to hurt her.
They might not have hurt her physically but they definitely had hurt her heart.
She did not want to attack their village but she had been forced to do it by a man with a spiral facemask and a single Sharingan.
She did wish for Naruto to suffer like he had. Seeing his treatment at the hands of his own village broke her hearth.
She had always been a peaceful Biju, preferring it to escape a fight. She had wanted to help Naruto for years but she could only heal him as he suffered.
His father's seal preventing her from doing anything else for the boy. But now that he had been starved to the brink of death she could temporally take over his body and steal food for him.
When he had found Hinata she could see the soul bond forming between the two of them. As she heard how the girl had suffered at the hands of her own family for being different her blood began to boil and she felt rage like she had never before.
When the two off them fell asleep in each other's arms she began to destroy the seal containing her. She would protect those two, she would protect her cubs no matter the coast.
Luckily the seal containing her was not the Reaper Death Seal but a watered down version of it since Naruto's father had not managed to summon the Shinigami.
He had only managed to get a shade of the god of death to seal her so she could escape if she choose to. When she had managed to overpower the seal she realized that her cubs where under attack. She could only watch as her host crawled over to his soul mate in order to protect her after she had taken the brunt of the explosive tag.
When the Jonin readied another Kunai she saw a young girl butcher the other two Jonin with throwing knifes before charging Akuro.
Sadly she did not manage to defeat him and suffered the same fate as her cubs. As the last of the seal broke she encased the three children in her chakra creating a barrier between them and the Jonin.
She then began to draw upon the natural chakra surrounding Konoha in order to heal the children.
She knew that she would rewrite their genetic codes by doing so, turning them into Demons themselves.
"Please forgive me my cubs. But I would rather turn you into demons before letting you die like this. You don't deserve such a cruel fate. I will drain this village dry of natural chakra before I will allow you to die like this. Please forgive me. Kami-sama if you can hear me please allow me to safe those cubs they don't deserve this." She thought as she obliterated training ground 47 also known as the under grove.
A lush jungle containing a massive amount of vegetation. In a matter of mere seconds she turned the once lush rainforest into a barren plain, not containing a single animal as she drew the energy into herself and used it to heal the children.
But even she would not manage to heal them at this rate. Their wounds where to extensive for her to heal. Anko was missing most of her back along with her left lung. Hinata had lost her kidneys and Naruto's spine had been severed, his lungs pierced and his skull fractured.
"Please to any deity who may her my plea. Please allow me to safe these children." She prayed.
Little did she know that she would be heard, not by a god but something much more powerful, the supreme beings had heard her plea.
H.T.B
With the Hokage 1 hour earlier
The third was enraged, first he had been informed by his ANBU that the Hyūga.-can had thrown one of their heiresses out on the street because she did not have the Byakugan after starving her for a prolonged amount of time.
He suspected that they had also beaten the poor girl.
Then he had been informed that the civilian council had ceased the ancestral home of Anko Mitarashi as "Punishment" for her crimes against the Leaf. They didn't care that said crimes consisted out of getting betrayed, experimented on and finally used as a human shield.
They had decided that she was to blame for Orochimaru's betrayal and taken everything from her before letting it slip to the villagers that she was Orochimaru's student.
Thus focussing the villager's hatred on the young kunoichi.
And as if those two things weren't enough he then learned that Naruto had been kicked out of the orphanage ten days ago. It seemed that some of his ANBU had deliberately hidden this fact from him in hopes that the boy would die from starvation or the cold outside.
He prayed that he would find the children before it was too late. Then he suddenly felt the Kyuubi's chakra spike. It was worse than it had been during the first attack.
He those ignorant villagers managed to hurt Naruto to the point where the seal broke?
He prayed that this was not the case, he had wanted Naruto to be happy as his father had wished with his last words. "ANBU to me" He barked summoning the ANBU guarding his office. "We are going to check out what happened to Naruto, if the seal is broken I will Seal the Kyuubi away at the coast of my life. BUT if it is not broken you will NOT ATTACK Naruto. This is an order and I will personally execute you if you disobey me on this." The third said as he flooded his office with Killing intent to get his point across.
