The Beginning of the End
Prologue
In a distant land, there existed a Leaf Village, or to others Konohagakure. The strongest of the villages that existed. Their shinobi were unmatched and their power was unimaginable. Everyone there prospered and was happy.
Though, that was all it used to be. Now all that is left is old run downed buildings and people just trying to get past each day hoping for a miracle. None of this would of ever happened if they had done what the their precious Fourth Hokage asked them to do.
Look at the Kyuubi Container as a hero, for he holds the greatest burden of all.
In the end, they treated him as the demon who was sealed inside him. Because of that, their downfall was inevitable

A little boy the age of five sat alone on what he called,"His Swing." He had dirty blond hair, a small build, and bring sky-blue eyes. Said boy was wearing a black shirt and orange cargo pants, with worn out sandals. The boy who we shall now refer to as Uzumaki Naruto, for as long as he could remember, was always alone. Until that one night, exactly one year ago he met his furry little friend.
Flashback
Naruto was walking back to the orphanage from a tiring day of the same hate filled glares and never ending loneliness. Everywhere he went, the villagers would just give him the "I Wish You Were Dead Look" as if he didn't notice. When he tried to play with the other children, their parents would rush up to them and take them away. As time went on, he just gave up making a new friend. No one wanted him, except the Hokage, so he left them to their own business.
Just as he was about to turn the corner to the street the orphanage was on, he felt hard something hit his head and blacked-out. When he came to, all he saw were the forests surrounding Leaf Village. Before he knew several men popped up. While they may have looked like ordinary people of an average size village, they were trained shinobi. Each of them had a shuriken holster on either their left or right leg, bandages on several of their limbs, kunais in their hand, and last but not least, cynical smiles.
The first shinobi to step up to the young demon reincarnation they believed him with a kunai in his hand and just stabbed him right in the shoulder. Nothing was heard except for the scream that pierced through the night. One after another, the so called shinobi attacked the you little Naruto. Naruto didn't know why they were doing this to him. All he knew was that with each wound, precious amounts of his life seeped out of the dying boy.
Just as the finishing blow was about to be delivered to boy's head, everything seemed to stop. Just as quickly as it stopped, it began to move just as fast. All you could hear were agonizing screams of people dying and blood flying everywhere. When it was finally done, a masked ANBU stepped out of the shadows. Nothing could be told of what or who the ANBU was because all he, or maybe a she, wore was a loose shirt, camo pants, bandages wrapped around both thighs, a shuriken holster, an empty sheath, and the oh so original animal mask which happened to be a weasel. What laid around the ANBU scared Naruto the most. Bodies were littered on the ground and several limbs were lying on the ground like twigs. Right before Naruto passed out from the gruesome scene and wounds; he saw yellow eyes.

Hospital
Naruto laid in a small white bed with bandages all over his body. IV cords were connected to his small body giving precious blood and nutrients he needed. The room had no windows for obvious reason, several chairs, two doors, a table and the bed Naruto as on.
The most out of place thing in the room were the men in there. The Hokage and an ANBU. Even though visiting hours were over, the Hokage had special privileges, and could give it to anyone he deemed worthy, like the ANBU. "I cannot believe that our shinobi would steep to as low as this," the Hokage, Sarutobi, said out of the blue. "I knew they would make him an outcast, but this."
"..."
"I do not know what I can do now. If they were going to go this far, I can't even think of what else they might do," Sarutobi thought out loud.
"I may have a temporary solution to this problem," replied the silent ANBU.
"And that is?"
"I can watch over him for the time being from the shadows," the ANBU spoke his solution.
"I cannot allow that because you are going to be needed in the future," the Hokage retorted.
"I know that may be true, but allow me to watch over him for now. I would be returning part of a favor if I did."
"Hmmmmmm...All right. You can do this, but when I need you, you will come. Agreed?"
"Agreed," the Anbu answered as he looked at the blonde boy.
When Naruto came to, he was wondering where the hell he was. All he could see was that he was in a sewer like building. Knee-high water filled the whole place, torches were on the wall, and there was the huge gate in front of him. Then last, but not least were the two huge glowing yellow eyes behind the gate with the kanji "seal" on it.
That was when it suddenly occurred to our young little blonde child that those were the same yellow eyes he saw before he passed out. Not only that, there was a huge reddish-orange fox behind those eyes.
"HEY! What the hell is going here," Naruto yelled at the fox infront of him.
After a huge growl was heard throughout the place the fox replied back,"You DARE speak like that infront of the GREATEST of the YOUKAI you INSOLENT whelp!"
"Well as a matter of fact, I DO, you big red freaky furball,"Naruto countered.
"OH YEA you little rat, say that again and I shall squish you to oblivion."
"Fine then, YOU BIG RED FREAKY FURBALL!"
"WHY YOU INSOLENT RAT, IF THIS DAMN CAGE WASN'T HOLDING ME BACK YOU WOULD BE DEAD RIGHT NOW!" the fox screamed he as thrashed around in the cage
"HA, like you could hurt me anyways."
"INSOLENT RAT, I NEED NOT TALK TO YOU. BEGONE!"
"I would gladly leave if you would freaking tell me where I am stupid furball."
"AHAHA! How pathetic. YOU don't even know how your mind looks like."
"This is my mind?"
"Yes, you idiotic rat."
"Then why are you here furball," Naruto asked.
"Because your precious Fourth Hokage put me in your belly with his GODFORSAKEN SEAL!" said furball replied angrily.
"WAIT! If you were sealed inside me then who are you?"
"Do those stupid rats you call people even tell you anything? I AM HE GREAT KYUUBI NO YOUKAI! STRONGEST OF THE STRONGEST. MEN WANT TO BE ME AND WOMEN WANT ME! I HAVE LIVED OVER..."
Not even half-way through Kyuubi's speech Naruto tuned him out while he thought about what he just learned.
"The Kyuubi is sealed inside me. That must be why everyone hates me." Even though people thought Naruto wasn't really smart, he wasn't completely stupid.
"IT ALL YOUR FAULT," Naruto yelled murderously interrupting the great speech that was going on.
"What do you mean its all my fault you insolent rat?" a questioning Kyuubi asked.
"YOU ARE WHY EVERYONE HATES ME! IT IS ALL YOUR FAULT! IF YOU.."
"SILENCE YOU INSOLENT RAT! It is not my fault they hate you. It is the people of this village fault they hate you. I was FORCED inside of YOUR rat body. If I have a choice I would be out there causing chaos and disorder. NOT in here wasting my time watching your pathetic life go on."
"But...but..."
"BUT NOTHING! IF IT WASN'T FOR ME, YOU WOULD BE DEAD ALREADY. YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE SAVED YOUR LIFE AND NOT RECEIVE AN ONCE OF THANKS. ZERO! NONE! NADA!"
After that, Naruto just broke down into tears thinking about what hell is his life coming to.
First, he was attacked by shinobi of his village and now a secret hidden since his birth is revealed to him. All he could do was cry.
"QUIET YOU RAT! I WILL NOT HAVE YOU CRYING INFRONT OF ME!"
Not only did that stop the crying, it made said "Rat" more angry instead of sorry.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CAN'T CRY! IT IS MY LIFE AND I CAN DO WHAT I WANT WITH IT YOU HAIRY FURBALL! SINCE YOU ARE INSIDE ME AND IS THE CAUSE OF MOST OF MY PROBLEMS, I DEMAND YOU DO SOMETHING TO FIX IT!"
"What do you expect me to do? Train you so you can get revenge on them later?" Kyuubi replied back sarcastically.
"That will do"
"WHAT!"
"I said,"That will do."
Kyuubi just couldn't believe what his ears were hearing. He was sealed inside this rat so he would be stopped from causing more destruction, but now here is the same rat demanding him to train him so he could get revenge against his village. If Kyuubi believed in God, he would probably be thanking the Almighty Saint and dancing around in circles right this moment.
"Fine you rat. I will train you, but on one condition. You HAVE to follow all my instructions when training and also, no complaining. Deal?"
"Deal," Naruto replied back with one of his rare realy smiles.
"Good. I will contact you when you are asleep. Now BEGONE!"
"WAIT! What do you mean in..."
Naruto never got the chance to finish because the next thing he saw was a bright light.
