In the shinobi war everything is paved with blood. Every action taken and every word that has been said has led to bloodshed. Seven years ago Konoha was ravaged by a giant demon, killing thousands and ultimately taking the life of the village's strongest and most honorable man. The demon was eventually defeated by the now deceased Yondaime Hokage Minato Namikaze but the scars left behind are still fresh and the memories still haunt the people.
A boy was born during this massive battle. His life was saved by his father and mother but for the gift of life came a steep cost. The deadly fox was sealed inside this new born baby at the cost of his two noble and courageous parents. Naruto Uzumaki was born into this world with a unfair burden he now has to bear.
- The sun crept onto his swollen face and crippled body. The boy laid in an alley covered in cuts, bruises, and dried blood. The blond stirs from the unwelcomed sunlight which has now illuminated his whole body. Naruto opens his right eye and attempts to open his left but it will not budge because of all the swelling that has occurred from the savage beating he took no more than six hours ago. The blonde tries to rise but soon finds it impossible as both his legs have multiple breaks along his femurs along with several broken ribs and two broken ulna and radius' in both arms. The boy manages to sit up along the alley wall suffering from almost unbearable pain. He stares out towards the street hoping somebody walking past will notice him and maybe aid him. Help never arrives for the young, broken boy.
He is forced to stay in the same spot for hours until the kyubi hidden within can quickly patch up his body so he can at least drag himself to his rundown apartment. Naruto sits there for what seems like days in a daze of agony and hunger. Twelve long and painful hours pass of sitting in his own filth. The boy tries to stand again but this time he is able to stand. His legs still feel week and his ribs still ache but the boy is able to stand and walk never the less.
The boy after fifteen long minutes manages to walk halfway across the village hidden in the leaves in his weaken state to his old, disgusting apartment. Naruto slowly ascends the stairs making sure that that his body won't collapse halfway through. He reaches the top and turns towards his apartment. He pulls his key out of his torn pants pocket as he slowly approaches his door. He puts the key in the lock and turns the door hearing a quick unlocking sound. He then pushes open the door and steps into the dark room.
Naruto quickly slams the door behind him and starts walking towards his bathroom. He sheds his torn blood soaked clothes and stares at his black and blue body in the mirror. He then turns to his shower and turns on the water making sure it is at least not freezing before stepping in. He lets the water pour down hit filthy body trying to forget his awful night. Naruto begins to ponder why every year he is beaten until he can't move on his birthday. After half an hour of standing Naruto quickly scrubs down his body to the best of his ability and rinses off making sure he scrubs his scalp under the shower head. He slowly grabs a towel and steps out of his shower making sure he doesn't aggravate any of his previous injuries. After drying off, Naruto proceeds to his bed room where he dresses in his sleeping attire. He then turns to his bed and pulls back his covers and starts crawl in. He lays motionless for over an hour recalling the event that had just occurred. He remembered walking through the shopping district heading to his favorite restaurant Ichiraku's Ramen. The boy was half way there when he was grabbed from behind by a tall man and thrown into the alley. They picked himself up only to be met with a swift kick to the face. The boy looked up to see a crowd of people standing over him.
The man who had kicked him knelled down and stared at Naruto. They man than began said something that turned Naruto's world upside down. The man said "Demon! We know what you are. You might look like one of us but we know you are still the kyubi regardless of what you look like. Tonight will be your last night alive and we shall finish what the great Yondaime Hokage started now seven years ago."
The rest is a little blurry for the blond boy as he remembers being beaten for a good fifteen minutes. He was kicked and punched hundreds of times breaking many bones. Naruto cried out for them to stop but in the back of his mind accepted this beating as a way to be noticed by his fellow leaf citizens. After the fifteen minute beating an Anbu member appeared infront of the mob of people and told them to disperse before any of them are punished. The crowd began to file out of the alley. Naruto looked up to his savior only to have him disappear in his hour of need. Naruto began to lose consciousness from the intense pain. As the lights started to fade he was thinking about what that man had said about him being the Kyubi. The blonde closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep. He tossed and turned in his bed for hours. The boy awoke and rolled over to check his alarm clock. He quickly realized that he had slept for over 24 hours and began to rise from his bed. His body still ached a little but thanks to his inmate living within he was almost completely back to full health. Naruto walked to his kitchen and opened up one of his small cabinets. He pulled out a container of instant ramen. He started to boil some water, after about 5 minutes his water was done and he put his breakfast together.
Naruto devoured the ramen within mere seconds. He through his dishes in the sink and began to get dressed into his day clothes never letting the idea of him being the demon the village hated out of his mind for a second. After getting dressed Naruto opened his door and stepped out of his apartment. The boy didn't know that today was the day that is going to change his life forever.
