Hey everyone! Karasu here! I just wanted to say that I'M BACK, BABY! I also wanted to let everyone know that this story is going to be a NaruHina fic with some Sakura bashing. I decided not to bash Sasuke because he's ok before the baka snake-teme came. If you don't like it don't read it. If you're going to flame me then give me the reason. I welcome constructive criticism. Also keep in mind that this is my first story so please go easy on me. Thank you and enjoy!

Prologue:

October 10, the night of the kyuubi festival. Laughing and happy voices can be heard through out the streets of Konoha. But all was not well. A five-year-old boy with blond hair, blue eyes and six whisker marks could be seen running from an angry mob. This was Uzumaki Naruto, Kyuubi jinchuuriki but he didn't know that yet. The boy suddenly found himself backed into a corner. Then the beating began.

Why do they hate me? I never do anything wrong. WHY?

Naruto thought while all this was happening. Suddenly the punches and kicks stopped. Naruto opens his eyes only to see a pink-haired woman standing over him with a kunai in her hand.

"It's time to die DEMON!"

The women screamed as she swung the kunai down. Naruto closed his eyes waiting for the promised death that was about to come, but it never did. After a few minutes Naruto opened his eyes again to see the kunai being blocked by a scythe being held by what looked like a teenage girl. The girl had short spiky black hair that was covered by a dull red bandana. She had piercing orange/brown eyes that were fixated on the crowd in a glare. She wore a dull red/orange shirt that had an autumn orange short sleeve jacket worn over it. On the back of the jacket were two small navy wings. She also wore khaki shorts, black fingerless gloves, and army boots. The girl then looked at Naruto and her gaze softened considerably.

" Close your eyes. Children shouldn't have to see this."

The mysterious girl whispered to Naruto and when he did, the screaming started.

Naruto opened his eyes to see a massacre. Dead bodies of the civilians and occasional ninja that had made up the mob lied scattered everywhere. In the middle of it all was the girl. She and her scythe were covered in blood. When his mind finally registered that she was walking toward him it was already to late to run away. The girl leaned down and … hugged him. All the mixed emotions were apparently too much for him as he started to cry.

"Shh… There there Naruto. I'm sorry for all the pain you had to endure because of those ignorant fools." She soothed "Just remember that I will always be watching over you."

This was the last thing Naruto heard before drifting to sleep. The girl then handed the little boy to a silver-haired anbu, before disappearing into the night.

Author's notes: And cut! I really hope you liked the first chapter. That is the only chapter (hopefully) that will have some form of angst in it. Man I hate angst. By the way, that was not Sakura's mom or anything; it was just some random Haruno. Anyway read and review! Or I'll sick Kyuubi on you!
