Konoha

Ok guys since you haven't answered my polls I have decided to post the first chapter of "The Pursuit of a Better Life". Ok so info on the characters the naruto and his fellow graduates are 12 and are about to graduate the academy. Naruto does not know of the kyuubi and kyuubi is female. I've read hundreds of fics my favorite fic being The Golden Fox by Nyce456. He is a brilliant author and if you haven't read his fic READ IT ITS AWSOME!!!! This is the first fic I have posted but I have experience in writing them…so I will just stop my useless rambalings and present you "The Pursuit of a Better Life"

Damnit I forgot huuuuhhh do I have to do these… damn fine fanfiction you win, I do not own naruto. Masashi Kishimoto does, I am currently trying to earn up enough money to buy it but alas… I'm broke, NarutoIno forever runs away crying at his brokeness.

A lonely boy was currently being beaten to a pulp by 3 male villagers and 1 male chuunin.

"Why won't you die you damn demon?!" The chuunin said, pissed off as he had been kicking the poor boy for the past hour.

"Please, leave me alone, what did ever do to you?"

"You were born you filthy kitsune!"

'Kitsune… fox? But I'm not a fox, why are they calling me a fox?'

"Because you are one kit."

'Who was that?'

Slowly his vision was fading to a sewer like place. Leaky pipes, oddly glowing a faint blue and red, lined the ceiling. He heard a deep almost growl like breathing coming from down a long passage way.

"Come kit hurry, there is much to talk about"

Not really knowing what he was hearing, but wanting to find out, he did as the strange voice said. The passage way was long and slightly damp. The same strange pipes were lining the ceiling again but the farther he walked down the passage the more red ones there were. When he finally reached the end of it he saw a large room, but what caught his attention was the gigantic steal cage in the center most part with a simple piece of paper with nothing more than the kanji for "seal" keeping the large cage door closed.

"Aaaa, kit finally you're here" 'took you long enough'

To say naruto was startled by the loud booming voice would have been a vast understatement, it down right almost made him piss himself. "W-who's t-there?"

Looking at the large cage naruto began to see a large figure start to appear.

"It is I, the Kyuubi no Kitsune" said the nine tailed bijuu now fully in Naruto's view

"N-n-no I-it can't b-be, you were killed by the yodaime hokage!"

"Ha, that fool couldn't kill me no human can it's impossible for a mere human to kill a demon, no he sealed me into you by using an ancient sealing jutsu none as the Shiki Fuujin."

"… So that's why the people call me a demon and a monster?"

"Yes kit, but you are not a demon so don't flatter yourself. I'm a demon and they see you not as a container but as my reincarnation"

As tears begin to well up in his eyes, he realizes that the Kyuubi has been healing him. "B-but the reason I haven't died yet, e-even when I tried to k-kill myself, was because of you healing me?"

She lowers her head remembering all those times he had tried to end his own life, and every time he did she would selfishly heal him, to preserve her own life. "Yes kit that was my doing"

Naruto was now balling "But why, why did you heal me? I don't want to feel this pain anymore, I don't want to live with the constant beatings I get everyday from both villagers and ninja for something I didn't even have a say in!"

She starts to tear up as well, realizing she wasn't helping him, she was hurting him more. "Kit I… I'm sorry for continuing to put you through all this pain. I-"

"No stop talking I don't want to hear anymore lies! How can a demon who attacked the village, killing hundreds of people, possible be sorry?!"

"Kit I-"

"Shut up! Just leave me alone I hate you" Naruto yelled while releasing a lot of killing intent for a boy of his age, suddenly returning to reality.

'He h-hates me? I… I guess I deserve to be hated but he d-didn't have to b-be so m-m-mean, and how did a kid as young as him get so much killing intent released?'kyuubi cried taking his statement hard. She curled up into a ball and cried at his mean hurtful words.
