As you probably know if you're reading this, my name is Uzumaki Naruto. I live in the village of Konahagakure no Sato and am the Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi no Yoko. Judging by the way the people of this village treat me you're probably disgusted with me already. I understand actually, who wouldn't be disgusted by a person with a demon fox that killed thousands sealed within him?
The majority of the people of this village are like that. I get beat on a regular basis, rocks are thrown at me as I walk down the streets and whispers of 'demon' and 'murderer' fill the air as I walk by.
Now, what I havent told you so far is what disgust's me about this village. I'm ten years old. That to me is enough explanation. For as long as I can remember I've lived on the streets and have been shunned and beaten by the people in my home. They believe that I am the Kyuubi. Simply put, I'm not. What I don't understand is WHY they think that.
If I was the demon fox, theoreticaly, I'd be one of the strongest living beings in the world, right? Why would I let them beat me if that was so? THEORETICALY, I'd be able to kill them before they knew what hit them, so why do they think I'm the Kyuubi? I'll never know.
What people don't know and those who do don't know I know is that the Yondaime Hokage is, or was, my father. When I found out that he bestowed this burdan on me I wasn't happy to say the least. I was angry, dissapointed, shocked, but most of all I was sad. I was angry he would do this to his own son, I was dissapointed in the people who knew refrained from telling me, I was shocked that the villages hero was my father, and I was sad that he was gone.
Even though the majority of the people in this village do not know of my burdan, they still treat me like trash. You know why? Their parents told them to. There are the few in the village who do know of my burdan and still treat me normally. These are my precious people. Theres Ayame-nee-chan, Old man Ichiraku, and Jiji, or as you would call him, Hokage-sama or Sandaime-sama.
Sadly, there are even fewer who DON'T know of it and treat me like a normal person. Regardless of how the people here treat me, it is still my home and I will give up my life to protect it, and the people who live in it.
If you know me and are reading this you are probably wondering how I know all this, and why I'm not acting like the complete idiot you all know me to be. The easiest way to put it is I wear a mask, if you will.
When I entered the Academy I exceled at everything I did. That is, until Mizuki-SENSEI found out the 'demon' was surpassing his precious Uchiha. That night I got the worst beating so far. Worse even than the ones on Oct. 10, my birthday or the day Yondaime sealed Kyuubi. I decided that if I wanted to have even a chance then I had to convince everyone I was a know-nothing 'dobe'. So, I did.
I started pulling pranks, being loud, and wearing the hideous orange jumpsuit. I started doing my very best to annoy that bastard you know as Sasuke Uchiha. I acted like I adored Sakura Haruno, and started failing all tests and homework given to me by the teachers at the academy. Needless to say, the beatings started happening less frequently and Mizuki seemed satisfied by my apparent stupidity.
A/N: Yay! first ever Naruto story! Well, this is just a prologue so all it really has is a kind of basis of the show only with what I am making Naruto out to be with his POV. So yeah, I have the first chapter half way done so it shouldn't take to long. Au revoir people.
Oh yeah, REVIEW. Plzzz? I barely ever get them. They can even be flames!
