Chapter 1: Enter, Naruto Uzumaki

Full Summary: Naruto is a normal 12 year old kunoichi that everyone thinks is just an idiotic, unpredictable ninja but the people who lived through the Kyuubi attack know more. Naruto is hated by the villagers because of what the Yondaime sealed inside her when she was just an hour old. Every day the villagers beat her, torture her and put her in near-death situations. She wears a mask of happiness, but deep down, she'sscreaming, crying, shouting for someone to help her and acknowledge her for who Naruto is, not the Kyuubi. One night, on the anniversary of the Kyuubi attack and Naruto's birthday, she gets a scar that changed her from a bubbly adventurous girl, to a serious and emotionless kunoichi. How will Naruto deal with the ninja world? And will the old Naruto ever return to her friends?

"Talking."

'Thinking.'

"Kyuubi/Jutsu."

Naruto's P.O.V

It was the night of my birthday. I should be sitting at home and celebrating like every other average twelve year old girl, but that wasn't an option for me right now. I was running now, running away from the people that chased me.

"Kill the demon!"

"Don't let it escape!"

I was so scared, I knew that if I stopped they would catch me. I turned into an alley. Big mistake.

"Ah, we've finally cornered it," I heard one of them say. Then they attacked. Kunai, shuriken, torches and even some jutsu, you name it. I thought this was the end. "How about I take one of its precious eyes?," suggested a shinobi that has an patch over his left eye. "Like the saying goes, an eye for an eye," then I felt a sharp pain from the left side of my forehead and ending just below my cheek bone, and then it all went black.

...

Naruto's P.O.V

"She's awake!" that was the first thing I heard when I awoke, I think it was a man, due to the fact that the voice was rather deep. Slowly I opened my eyes but immediately closed them because of the white room.

"It's okay Naruto; you're just in the hospital," I recognised that voice to be the Hokage's but I still wasn't sure if it was a genjutsu and I was still surrounded by those villagers and shinobi. Even if I was in a hospital, the doctors and nurses still don't treat me right. My instincts were telling me not to open my eyes but I ignored them, after all, if it was villagers then I might as well get the pain over with now. I opened my eyes and I saw the Hokage's smiling face but I wasn't interested in that, I was more interested in why there was an itchy material over the left side of my face. "Old man, what exactly happened?"

"It's kind of difficult to tell you if I'm being honest, we've never come across anything like this, not even Konoha's specialists could find the origin of the poison."

'Poison?'

The Hokage then held up a mirror in front of my face as I slowly took off the bandages. I didn't notice before but there was nobody else in the room other than the Hokage, a Medic ninja, two ANBU and myself. Strange. I gasped at what started back at me in the mirror. There was a pinkish scar from the left side of my head, starting at just below my hairline, to halfway down my cheek bone. "The Kyuubi couldn't heal your entire scar but it healed some, it would have been much bigger without him," I barely heard what he said because I was too shocked at my eye. It wasn't the normal sapphire blue, it was red with a tint of gold in it and the pupil was oval shaped, not quite animal like, but not quite human like either.

"To give you the ability to see with that eye the Kyuubi had to put some of his chakra into the eye, and test results say that it's possible it could be like a bloodline."

"Sorry Gaki, it's the best I could do. I told the Yamanaka that came into your mind when you were unconscious about what I did, just so they wouldn't freak out, it would give them another reason to hate you," said the fox that was in my mind.

'It's okay Kyuubi-san, but thank you for allowing me to see with it' I assured him, I could tell he wasn't taking this too well.

"I got you a mask to hide your scar and since we don't know the side-effects of the eye, it would be best for you to keep it closed," I closed my eye and I took the mask from Jiji. The mask was made to hide half my face, (It's half of Ichigo's hollow mask) there was no eye space so no one could see my eye and where the hole usually would be was black. I thanked the Hokage and left the hospital. I needed new clothes, and although I liked my orange jumpsuit, it wouldn't work with the mask. I Henged so my hair colour changed to brown as did my eyes. The mask was gone in the jutsu and my jumpsuit changed into a plain black shirt and black shorts with blue ninja shoes. I came across a nice little clothes shop and went in. I easily found some suitable clothes and paid for them while I thought about what my classmates would think when I showed up tomorrow looking completely different. Kiba would probably take a fit, Shino would just be Shino, Hinata would probably be... unique like always, Shikamaru would probably say "troublesome" and the Sasuke Fan-club would try and kill me and think I was trying to get Sasuke to go out with me. Faaaaantastic.

I arrived at my house at around 8:00PM. The Medic ninja said I should get as much sleep as possible so I laid my clothes out over the bed, dressed into my pyjamas and fell into a hopefully dreamless sleep.

Normal P.O.V

Naruto awoke to an irritating beeping, it was from her alarm clock. She tried to reach over to shut it off but it was too far from her hand. "Shut up!" Naruto shouted at the alarm clock, but to avail, the alarm simply wouldn't stop. So she did what was needed, she threw a kunai straight through the poor little sucker. "Heheheh..."

Naruto ended up getting out of bed anyway, she didn't feel like going to the academy today but it was graduation, so she had to. The first thing she did was look over her clothing, it consisted of a black short sleeved top with navy blue cargo trousers that tucked into her black ninja shoes. She also had navy blue finger-less gloves that ended below the elbow to top it all off. Naruto looked at her now destroyed clock and it read 8:20. 'Crap!' she thought as she now realised that she had around about 10 minutes to get ready and get to the academy. She quickly ran around her little apartment, putting on clothes, brushing her hair, picking up her shuriken and kunai. She was about to leave when she remembered something very important, her new mask. She sighed at the thought of having to get used to wearing a mask all the time. She put it on and thought about her hairstyle. It was in twin pigtails like always. 'Screw it,' Naruto thought as she decided to just wear her long golden hair in a high pony-tail. When she took out the ribbons holding her hair up, it fell to half way down her back. The one thing that she didn't like about her hair was the way the front of it spiked forward a little bit, creating a messy look.

When Naruto finally arrived at the academy, it was 8:30. She barely made it, but she didn't care. She just sat down on the only available seat, next to the Uchiha heir and ignored the bewildered looks from her classmates. 'Well, this is gonna be a long day.'

A/N: Hopefully we will soon put up a poll about the pairings and if Naruto should get Orochimaru's curse mark. I had first planned for her to get it but if you guys vote for her not to, then I will just have to change the plot I planned out.

A/N 26/03/2015: I know, it's been a long time since I updated this story, but here I am. I said I would rewrite the chapters, some having minor changes and others having large changes, so expect that soon. This chapter didn't have much of it changed.
