Angered shouts and curses was all that the little five year old could hear as he ran for his life. It was October tenth again, and the kid was hating it by every passing moment. "Get the demon!" the mob yelled as they ran after the boy.
In an attempt to escape his pursuers, the yellow haired boy dashed into the alley. Sadly, this did not stop the mob. They backed the little five year old into a corner and got ready to beat the kid. "Well, well," mused a voice that the five year old knew all too well. The pink haired lady, the ringmaster of all of this.
"W-what do you want?" whimpered the supposed demon. "We want justice for what you did five years ago. You killed almost half of the village, this we cannot leave unpunished," hissed the lady and the crowd yelled in agreement. The boy whimpered again and wished that he could disappear on the spot.
"This is the end for you, demon," the pink haired lady hissed as she snapped her fingers and the mob rushed forwards. They made quick work of the boy. They stabbed kunai knife thought the boy's hands, pinning him to the wall. The said boy screamed in pain and started to tear up.
It wasn't anything new, but it still hurt like hell. The mob started torturing the poor kid. Screams of agony and pain filled the air, only driving the mob madder as they continued. Soon the mob stopped, but this was far from over.
A white haired man walked into the front of the mob and smirked, "Hello, demon fox, missed me?" the man asked. Now the boy was scared, he knew this man all too well. Mizuki. The white haired chūnin was a regular in these "demon hunts" as they liked to call it.
Mizuki's smirk grew wider at the effect he had on the kid. "I have a friend here with me, want to meet him?" the white haired man asked darkly. The "demon" shook his head, no. "Well too bad. Uchiha!" Mizuki yelled and a tall black haired man stepped forward.
"You know what to do," Mizuki said as he backed away. Uchiha nodded and started casting a Jutsu. "Fire style: Fireball Jutsu," he said as he shot the fireball at the small boy. Screams of pain filled the air as the boy was burned. Something seemed to break within the boy.
Suddenly, a childish giggle filled the air, that giggle soon turned to a full blown insane laughter that sent chills down the mob's spine. The fire faded away, revealing burnt clothing, and red chakra.
"Playtime," the boy said in a cheerful sing-song voice as he looked up at the mob. The said mob's eyes widened, some threw up, and some gasped. Instead of a regular face, the boy had an anger red skull. In a blink of an eye, the boy had slaughtered one fourth of the mob. As the boy killed, he didn't once stop smiling...

Sarutobi jumped through his village at a neck breaking pace. "Pray to Kami that Naruto is ok," he muttered as he jumped from one roof to another. Once he and the ANBU arrived, the sight they found was spine chilling.
Blood, bones, heads, arms, and legs everywhere. It sickened the Hokage to the bone. In the middle of the gruesome scene, was a giggling mess of a boy. "N-Naruto?" Sarutobi whispered as he slowly moved towards the five year old.
The five year old turned towards the Hokage and the elderly man throw up a little at the sight of the boy's head. "Hiya!" Naruto greeted cheerfully. "Naruto, who did this?" Sarutobi asked cautiously. Naruto giggled and pointed at himself.
On that day, the Fox of the Bloody Leaf was born.
