'Blah' thoughts

Let It Begin

Today was one of the most wonderful and saddening day in the city of Konoha. It was the 5 year anniversary of the battle between the Yondaime Hokage and the great demon fox Kyuubi no Kitsune. You would think that on a day like this everyone would gather together to mourn the losses of there love ones, and the passing of the most powerful hokage. In a way you are right, but things are not always the way they seem. So here our story starts with a young boy we will learn as thing progress.

'Damn, why am I doing this again; I know if they see me there going to beat me' A young Naruto thought as he try to make his way around the crowds of people. He started speeding up a little when he saw his destination.

'Yes I'm almost there; just a little more' He thought as his feet started picking up the pace without even recognizing. He finally made it to the stand, and with a sigh of relief a sat down on a stool.

"Hello sir can I have a bowl of ramen" He said in a quiet squeaky voice. After he finished speaking the man he was talking to turn around to ask him what flavor. When the man turn around he saw something he never really expected, there was a little boy maybe no older than 6 staring at him with these shockingly blue eyes. The boy appeared to be dress in rip up clothes or what can better be presented as rags. His face and hair was caked with mud, and he looked like he haven't bath in days. His body was skinny like he hasn't eaten in months and his skin was a pale color; resembling people who skin don't get enough sun.

"Dear lord, kid why do you look like that" The owner asked with a shocked voice. The kid took a while to answer but he finally spoke up.

"I was playing around and I kind of got dirty" He said while looking down at the table in front of him. The owner seemed to except it mumbling something about kids these days. He looked back up to at the kid a question?

"How about the first bowl on me" The owner said hoping to perk up this down trotted youngster. Naruto looked up the man with a little smile on his face; he was hoping the man would say that because in reality he did not have any money to pay the man, and running from him in this crowd might prove very difficult.

"Thanks old man" Naruto said with a slight chipper to his voice. This made the old man crack a smile.

"Your welcome young one" He said as he turned and headed to the back where the noodles were cooking. A couple of minutes later he came back with a nice hot bowl of ramen and placed it in front of Naruto.

"Here eat up" He said as he turned to go get another order from a different customer. Naruto sat there for a couple of minutes before he actually started eating. It took him a long time but eventually he was finished with the ramen. He left the stand as quickly as he could hoping to get back to the orphanage without any trouble. He went from alley to alley staying far away from anyone so they wouldn't notice him. As he quickly sprinted from his new hiding spot to get to another his path was block as a man came flying out of a bar window.

"Stay out you stupid asshole" A clearly drunk man said as he wobble while trying to stay on his feet. He turned his sights to Naruto while sizing him up.

"Hey there you stupid kid you want a piece of me" He said holding up his fist trying to prove his point. He failed miserably but it brought attention to Naruto which was very bad.

"Hey isn't that the demon brat" One man shouted and that was enough motivation to start Naruto feet again as he started running towards the orphanage. The men seeing him trying to escape made there pursuit, as they ran after him they yelled obscenities stating how he was the demon brat or monster. He made a quick turn in an alley hoping to lose them in the darkness, what he wasn't expecting was to find ninja's among them.
"We can still feel his chakra" One ninja said as he kept searching. Naruto hearing that huddle closer to the wall hoping they wouldn't find him. He saw them start picking up whatever they thought were able to damage bottles, sticks, etc. When they walked past him, he saw his chance to run so he dashed for the exit of the alley only to run into a woman.

"Help the demon, he's attacking me" She screamed drawing attention to him and her. Before he could run away he found himself surrounded by men and women in multitude all ready to cause him pain.

"Its finally over, we can finish what the Yondaime started" One person in the crowd yelled and that was the beginning of the beating.

'This always happens' Naruto thought as he yelp in pain to a rather ferocious pain.

'Why why me, I never did anything to them so why me' He thought as he curled into a little ball hoping to block out the pain. He found his self wondering about this as he recollected how many times this happens. For as long as he could remember he was shunned and beating by the village people. He didn't know why but he knew to stay alive he had to keep his distance. He knew today was the day the beatings were the worse, but his body refused to go on without something to eat. The orphanage hasn't been feeding in him and so far he has been surviving on table scraps he finds after the meals. Today was different though no matter how many scraps he tried to eat it never filled him which force him to come outside today even though he knew the dangers of it. He found himself mumbling his thoughts out loud.

'Why why do you'll do this to me" He said in a bare whisper. He kept repeating it slightly getting a little louder as he grimaced from the pain a bottle inflicted on him. A chuunin heard him and decided it would be fun way to make him torture.

"Because you monster, you are the reason we mourn; you are the reason our family has died; you are the reason the fourth hokage died you demon fox" The chuunin yelled. His statement was followed by the yell from the crowd showing that they agreed with him. Little did he know that last couple of words triggered something long dormant in Naruto. Powers deep within, so deep that you would have to dig to the deepest parts of someone mind to get there.

'I am the demon fox… the one that killed the fourth hokage' Naruto thought to himself as his face started to contort. With that single thought the deep power with Naruto awakened and burst fourth with amazing force. To the people on the outside things went a little differently. One second the was beating the little demon spawn the next second a chakra pulse came at them with amazing force blowing them away. Some people were knocked ten feet away, and some were practically fling. The chakra was heavy and laced with bloodlust and killing intent; it covered about 100 sq ft from where the young one stood. Some people died from just being in the presence of chakra that they all remembered very well. This did not go unnoticed by everyone else in the village.

ABCDE….

Sarutobi was sitting in his office watching over the festival while drinking a little sake.

"It seems spirits are high as usual" He said as he looked over his proud city, never once worrying about anything. Today was a good day people were singing, playing, dancing, and partying. Basically they were enjoying themselves, and so was he. Today he had no paperwork and he can do anything he wanted because it was a day off.

'Thank you for your sacrifice to save the village Yondaime' Sarutobi thought to himself as he watched over the peaceful village. A couple of minutes later a thought came drifting through; it involved the savior of this village.

'And wander what Naruto is up to' He thought as he looked towards the direction of the orphanage. Not to long after that thought drifted through his mind did he feel the most ominous chakra at ever touch the earth. When he looked to the direction that it came from he nearly pissed his pants; the whole area was covered in red mist slightly moving every now and then.

"Kami-sama help us" Sandaime said as he looks out towards the village.

ABCDE…
