Nenshou Kyoukan (Burning Assassin)
By: Mask of Smiles
Hey there, Mask of Smiles here to give you a story you'll hopefully enjoy! This came from a nightmare I had with Naruto being run out of the village, then him coming back as a badass assassin. Right, so, here it is.
Now, I'm not too sure if this is going to be a pairing. If it is, it's going to be yaoi, because I like yaoi, but I'm not sure what kind of pairing. If you want to vote, the pairings I'm thinking about will be down stairs, kay?
"Demon."
"Monster."
"Freak."
"Murderer."
Naruto sighed as these words rang through his head. He looked up to the sky, not reacting as raindrops fell upon his motionless body. He was bloody, but didn't care. He knew his wounds had already healed. He wasn't in pain, in fact…he couldn't feel anything…
He was numb…
Why…didn't I see that coming? He thought to himself. Bringing back a bloody Sasuke, he should have known they would react violently. Even though Sasuke barely had a scratch on him. The Uchiha had passed out because of exhaustion, the blood on him was all Naruto's. Did they care? No. Any excuse to hurt the demon.
He remembered Sakura, the girl who made him promise to bring Sasuke back. She was so mad. Called him heartless, a murderer, even after they confirmed he wasn't dead. She said he tried to kill their friend. He didn't. Honest. She wouldn't listen, she wouldn't even look at him. So he left for his apartment. He knew even with the Kyuubi, he was losing more blood. However, he didn't dare try going to the hospital. He knew they would just make his condition worse, even with Tsunade there.
Thinking back, maybe it would have been best if he had left before things had gotten worse, because they did. Villagers, over a hundred of them, standing there with knives, bats, wooden rods. They were waiting for him, waiting for the demon. He would pay for hurting their village pride. Even if it was pride that got them into this mess, did they care? No, because it was the demon's fault. It's always the demon's fault.
So they beat him, cursed at him, blamed him for everything that happened. And he didn't do anything to stop them. In fact, once they were sure he wasn't going to take off with those wounds that is exactly what he did. He ran. He ignored the pain in his body until he was far, far away from the village. Then he just laid down, and allowed his wounds to heal. Then morning came and the rain started, washing away his blood, and chilling his body to a dangerous temperature. He didn't care.
Since his wounds completely healed, Kyuubi had been trying to communicate with his jailor. He shouted loudly, telling the kit that he needed to find warmth before hypothermia kicked in. Naruto made no response, worrying the demon that they just might die here, in the middle of nowhere.
Damn it all, this is not good. I swear, if I manage to somehow get the hell out of here, those pathetic humans are going to wish that I did slaughter them all eighteen years ago! Kyuubi snarled. He wouldn't admit it, but he was more worried about Naruto than himself. Over the years, Kyuubi had begun respecting the young man, and soon began seeing Naruto as his own kit. And if there's one thing you should know about fox demons, it's this. Do. Not. Mess. With. Their. Kits. Even though they both knew it was impossible for him to be released, Kyuubi wasn't discouraged from plotting Konoha's slow and painful demise.
…Kyuubi? Naruto said in his mind, finally coming out of his daze. Still sitting in his cage, the mighty demon looked up where the voice had come from.
Have you finally snapped out of it? He asked. Instead of receiving an answer, he just heard this.
What did I do…to deserve this? I know that they hate me because I hold you, but haven't I proven to them that I'm not going to hurt them? Haven't I proven that all I want to do is protect them? So…why? The last time Kyuubi had heard the blond ask this question was not long after their first contact with each other. At the time, he just called the child weak and pathetic for wanting the villager's respect in the first place. But now was not the time. He could feel Naruto's spirit and body slowly dieing because of the emotional and physical stress on his body.
Humans are like that, kit. Not all humans, you're a prime example of that, but there are many who hate because they can. They wanted someone to blame for their misfortunes. Who better that someone without a family? They don't care if your very birth is the reason why they didn't die by my claws that day, they needed someone to hate, and you were the only one they could. They called you 'demon' when they hated you because it was the only way they could sleep at night even with the knowledge at the back of their head telling them they just beat a defenseless child. I'm sorry to say this, kit, but they will never see you as the protector you are. And, honestly, those pathetic meat sacks don't deserve it. Naruto was silent all through Kyuubi's talk. He then sighed and tried to stand on his numb legs, before falling down, then trying again.
I'm going, far away from Konoha. I don't care where I end up, as long as I don't have to go back there for a long, long time. If I do, I'm going to be stronger. Whether I'm their ally, or their enemy will depend on the situation and not with the loyalty I should have never given to them in the first place. He said stubbornly, using the trees to keep himself balanced until the strength in his legs came back. Kyuubi couldn't help but blink in surprise before a smirk spread across his face.
That's my kit…
All right, here are the pairings I'm thinking about.
Ita/Naru
Shika/Naru
Gaa/Naru
(there is going to be one more pairing next chapter. You just have to guess who it is. Hint: He's not supposed to be alive, and he's the coldest person you could ever imagin)
No, there will be no Sasu/Naru. Why? Simple, really. I. Hate. Sasuke! And, that jerk doesn't deserve Naruto! Nope, no sirre! He is doomed to die a virgin! Or...will he? I'm sure Oro is more than happy to take him back. Blech, no way. There's no way I'm going to let the pediphile get his way either. Orochimaru and Sasuke, you will both die virgins! MUWAHAHAHAHA!!!!
R&R ppls! Bazanee!
