It was October 10th and once again a festival was being held in one of the most powerful shinobi nations known as Konoha, The Village Hidden in the Leaves. This date holds one of the most horrible incident to ever come across Konoha, the attack of the Kyuubi no Yoko. The treacherous attack devastated many and created disaster all over the village. Many were lost during this attack including the fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze also known as Konoha's Yellow Flash. This truly was a sad event and will never be forgotten from anyone who witness the attack. It has been four years since the attack and now every ninja and villager are enjoying themselves in the festival celebrating the death of the Nine-Tailed Fox. Most were drinking like their was no tomorrow and some were even playing the festival games, but all were glaring at a young boy walking down the streets.
A four year old blond haired boy named Naruto Uzumaki was walking down the streets of the festival. Apart from his golden hair he also had light blue circular eyes. He whore a ragged up gray shirt with a dark blue shorts that had orange running down its side. He also had some nearly destroyed shoes that was clearly covered with mud and trash. The boy was sad and confused. Not one person seemed to care for this young kid. It was his birthday today and all he was getting was crap.
He was walking by watching as everyone was having fun, laughing and . . . the food. Naruto's stomach was now screaming for a bite of anything. The last time he had a descent meal was two days ago so he walked up to a food stand hoping to get something, anything really. When he got close to a stand he only got glares that ripped through his soul and all he could do is back away and go away. He did this to other several stands only for the same thing to happen over and over again. Naruto didn't get it. Why did everyone hate him. He never did anything wrong. Now he was crying streams of tears in the middle of the street. He didn't care anymore and was now thinking how his day has being getting worse by every passing minute.

Flashback
Naruto was slowly waking up from the blinding light coming from his window. As he stirred and open his eyes he was disappointed to see that no one was there to say 'congrats' or 'happy birthday'. "Did they forget my birthday" he silently said.
Life in the orphanage was neutral for the young Naruto. No one really did anything to him but he was always being ignored. He was never allowed to play with the other kids and that made a bit sad. He was eager to know the other kids but his caretaker would never allow it. Even so he would never question them so he just listen to their harsh voice. He thought the yelling was normal, but then he saw he was wrong when he caught a glimpse on how the other kids were treated. They were laughing, having fun something he has yet to experience. What he saw next shocked him. The caretakers were actually smiling at them. They were the most heart warming smiles he has ever seen. He always thought this people were crude and evil. Now he could only wish he would eventually get one too.
The only thing he knew about the orphanage was that when it was your birthday everyone would gather together and greet you with hugs. They would praise you for the day and Give him the best meal Konoha's orphanage can offer. The praising and laughter would always hit Naruto hard in the gut. Not once could he remember a time were he can laugh without getting punished or a time where he even laugh with much emotion. He could only hope that in his birthday things can change and they would treat him the same. Little did he know that in that day his life would take a major change. One that he will never forget so eaily.
Naruto finally decided to quietly and slowly get out of his bed. He was frowning a little because today felt like any other day. He was honestly hoping he would wake up and have people by his side enjoying themselves and trying to make him laugh. Now that he knew that was not happening anytime soon he decided he would get his meal for the day and go to his room until the day was over.
When he finally reached the door he slowly raised his hand toward the rusty knob screaming to himself 'Did I do something wrong and if I did why am I treated so differently.'
Once he felt the cold touch of the steel the door swung open at such a speed it broke Naruto's wrist. "AAAUUUGGG" he yelled. Not once has he felt such pain. The ones he has gotten were from cuts and bruises, but even then he would heal at such a speed that they would disappear in a matter of seconds. He now was kneeling crying at the pain and holding his hand hoping the pain will go away.
"Shut up kid and stand up" the caretaker said with twinge of happiness that he broke his hand. "You should be grateful that you didn't get more than a broken hand."
Naruto was now totally surprised of the current event. Here he was hurt and crying and damn caretaker didn't give a shit. He was crying even harder now of both emotional and physical damages. "W-why do you (sob) all treat m-me like this."
"BECAUSE YOU ARE A DAMN DEMON BRAT" the caretaker said with all the hate in world. "Why should we treat you the same if your not even human. You don't even deserve to live. Why the Hokage didn't kill you I don't know."
Naruto was now completely dumb founded. 'Demon, Hokage what is that' he thought. His four year old mind was processing everything he could but failed to notice the full sentence since he was still having agonizing pain from his wrist. He fell faint all of a sudden 'it hurts so much.' Shortly after he fell down and fainted, but before he did he could swear that the man had a sadistic smirk on his face.
5 hours later
It was now noon and he was slowly waking up and once he did he was surprised to be surrounded by a group of kids. There was about fifteen kids from ages between six through ten. He was actually happy to see some familiar kids from the orphanage, but soon stopped when he saw the looks on their faces. They had looks that screamed 'I'm sorry.' "Hey guys what's wrong did someone die or something."
Not soon after he said the comment all the kids rushed him and started kicking and beating the boy. They managed to break his semi-recovered wrist which caused him to scream in agony. 'Why do they all hate me. Even the kids here don't like me and I don't even know what I did.' After well over ten minutes the boys stopped and left a very beaten up Naruto in the play grounds. He was now unconscious again due to his very painful injuries.
5 hours later
It was now five in the afternoon and he was starting to feel his eyes open again. After a few minutes he was fully conscious of his surroundings and found himself still lying in the ground of the orphanage playground. He stood up very cautiously and found that his wrist was no longer broken. 'Strange I thought people usually take time for this. Wait how long have I been sleeping. Uuh I don't care as long as I'm ok I guess.'
He decided the orphanage was no longer an option of where he could stay since no one wanted him there so he left the big building and started wandering the streets of Konoha. He truthfully had no clue where he was going to stay or where he was, but he did notice some people were looking at him. That's when he saw it a festival of some sorts was happening and he truly didn't care at the moment so he decided to check it out.

Present
He was walking and crying because he knew no one liked him. Everyone was just watching him with those hurtful eyes full of nothing but hate. He couldn't stop this and knew he had no choice in the matter so he went running as fast as his little four year old legs took him. He had no idea where he would end up, but knew it would be better than there at least he hoped.
After running a full blown thirty minutes he stopped. He was tired and couldn't go any longer. It was getting dark now and a bit chilly, but he still didn't care he was still to depressed. Now he was walking at a part of the village that seemed to have huge mansions. Besides the orphanage he never seen any other buildings, but this were just exaggerated. "Who the hell lives there Kami-sama himself." he blurted out getting the attention of some drunken shinobi. There were one jounin and two chunnins in the group and they seemed to noticed who this kid was.
Naruto had a bad feeling about this. This shinobi were looking at him the same way everyone else did and he knew they were Konoha ninja. He knew because in the orphanage many would pass by and say hello and by looking at them he knew they were planning something. He was tempted to run again but he knew he couldn't escape besides he was still tired of his last running exercise. He then planned to act casually to not get more of there attention.
The shinobi's knew what he was doing and the jounin quickly shushined to his side and with one arm quickly grabbed the kid and used his other to keep him from shouting. The jounin could have easily knocked him out or even kill him, but he wanted to have fun torturing the blond haired boy. Once he had him they all disappeared with a puff of smoke and ended in a forest area near the Hyuuga compound.
Naruto was now scared shitless he knew what power ninja could have and to have him here in the forest only meant one thing. 'NOOOO I don't want to die yet. I mean no one cares for me but at least I would still be alive to see what would happen next. NONONONONONO.' he yelled in his thoughts.
The ninja quietly tied the boy up in a tree. They also set up silence barrier on Naruto for no would hear his screams. Then jounin finally then said "I am really going to enjoy this."
"Yah I can't wait to see the look on his face when we start" one of the chunnin said.
Well I'm going to sleep as much as I liked to I haven't slept in the last few days. Have fun" said the last chunnin before falling asleep in the grass.
Naruto was still afraid of what they were going to do to him and was even more when he tried to speak. Not a word could be heard. He tried many times to slip away while the ninja were talking, but he couldn't. He was now panicking when he saw the jounin take out a kunai and slowly walk towards him. He could only close his eyes and accept fate. 'I only being alive for a few years and it wasn't even a good one. Why kami why do you hate me. I haven't even talked to you or seen you. You even have more respect towards a log than me and there useless.'

Somewhere not in Konoha
"Huh what just happen" the man said while looking in front of him where a tree exploded out of no where. "I swear in the name of kami I will find the culprit and bring him to justice." The man was now crying looking at the spot were a tree once stood. "You could have lived longer and helped our ninja." The man couldn't take it no more so he just stood up and left.

Back with Naruto
The jounin was now cutting and torturing the young Naruto. He first stabbed him in his hands and feet creating holes in the skin realising a large amount of blood. Then he continued by constantly cutting deep scratches slowly all over his body making Naruto scream and cry like he has never done before. The man was enjoying every second of it. He continued this for twenties minutes using genjutsu and many lightning c-rank jutsus when he finally decided his friend should take a turn. He turned around and told his friend he could do what he pleased with the boy. He just answered with a simple 'Hai' and went to continue more torture until he thought he was satisfied by his doing. They were finished now they did what they wanted. At this point Naruto was already unconscious and looked like a corpse only the difference was he still alive. The man untied him to recover his material and quickly kicked Naruto straight in the gut. They finally left and their lied a very still alive boy in the middle of forest were he could die from many reasons including other leaf shinobi.
2 days later
Naruto was now finally waking up from his near death experience and remembered it being one of the most scariest and painful things to come across his four year old life. Even though he doesn't know, all his cuts and gashes were healed enough to the point were he could be finally stand up and walk. He really hated it, those men had no right to do what they did. He promised to himself once he was strong he would find those men and torture them untill they die. Now to another major problem . . . FOOD. Naruto was quickly looking for anything to eat and that's when he saw a bunny hopping around the bushes. After a death challenge with the rabbit Naruto came on top and used a kunai the men had forgotten to skin and clean him. When he started a fire using only his kunai, rock and a few twigs, he was overly enjoyed to see one of his over hearing a conversation came in handy.
Naruto was enjoying his time here it has been peaceful, quiet and perfect for training. He quickly came up with an idea and sighed 'I can't believe I feel more at ease here in the forest than in the orphanage. I think i might stay here and start my ninja training.' With that out of his system he went back to sleep and hoped he could enjoy this peace and quiet forever.
It has been a month now since he started his training as well to learning to live in the wild. The first thing he did in his training was just search around and find out where he was. He found out after many days of stalking and listening that he was in forest based training area close to the Hyuuga Clan. He was happy to know he wasn't actually in a forest outside of the village and that only made him work harder. He was only training in taijutsu and increasing speed and power. He was some what happy with his results so he only trained harder. "I will work harder on becoming strong and fast. I will not stop until I know I am ready for those bastard group of a ninja and I promise this and will keep this promise for that is my nindo my ninja way." He said before collapsing of exhaustion.
