This is my new story hope you liked it. I'm actually more into it then my other story. Probably because I gave this story much more thought. Also I like this story better by just a bit. Anyways hope you like it!

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto! I tried once by kidnapping Itachi then I remembered why he became ANBU so young. So I don't own Naruto or any of the Characters!

Pain

"You deserve this demon you took away my life and daughter." a villager told me as he kicked my stomache repeatedly until I puked up blood.

Fear

"Get the Demon! Their getting away!" Yelled angry villagers as I ran away knowing that if they caught me I would experience pain and fear that they would kill me this time.

Doubt

'Maybe I am just a demon.' I thought as I hid from the villagers under my bed as the villagers ransacked my place before finding me and beating me up like they did every week.

Masks

"NARUTO! STOP SLEEPING AND LISTEN TO THIS LESSON!!" Yelled my teacher Iruka-Sensei.

This is my story. The story of me. Uzumaki Naruto.

Though no one really noticed (or most likely didn't care). He was the only teacher that actually cared about my education. If another teacher had caught me sleeping then they would have thrown me out. Not that it mattered even if I did learn it they would say I cheated on the test if I got over 70% the only time there fair is when the Hokage visits then they treat me like any other kid. It was actualy quite annoying. So basicly it's a lose lose situation. 'Like my life.' I thought.

"Anyways class as you know the Genin Exams are coming up tomorrow and I am warning you that you need to be prepared or you will fail. I will now be announcing the standards. The passing terms are a 70% on the written test. This will be run by Torada Ayaka. (Ok all names are randomly picked by me by reading random chapters from manga!)'Hates me.' I thought as Iruka went on.

For the targeting test you need at least 6 out of 10 kuni and 8 out of 10 shuriken. This will be held by Tzu Akira. 'Loaths me completely.' Were my thoughts.

"For the taijutsu portion you must at least get 5 hits on the instructor you will be fighting which will be me." 'Good at least I'll be judged fairly. ' I thought as he went on.

"For the jutsu which will also be run by me you will need to do henge, shushin, and bunshin. 'On the good note Iruka won't purposly mess with my chakra so I won't fail on the bad I can't do bunshin.' You are only allowed to fail 1 of the 4 test if you fail 2 or more you will automatically fail. No matter how good you do on the others. Also if your finaly score all together at the end is under 70% then you will also fail. Now class dismissed."

'This is great so I can pass as long as I get all the stuff correct except the bunshin since I can't do it to save my life. That's what I thought of until I remembered the 2 other insturctors hated me. 'I'll have to ask Hokage-jiji to watch over the exams since they won't judge me fair if he doesn't.' I thought as I walked to my rundown apartment. As I walked there I saw Sasuke Uchiha or as I dubbed him teme. He was being followed by his usual crowed of fan girls.

'Why do they follow him when he obviously don't like them. I mean common it gives us girls a bad name. Yes I said girls though everyone in my class believe me to be a boy due to the orange jumpsuit and the blue hat that I wear that covers my hair. I decieded that I was going to wear this until I became a Genin. Due to reason's I don't want to speak about. They assumed that I was a boy not that I'm complaining though I feel kind of bad for Hinata-chan due to the fact that I know she has a crush on me.

At this point in my thoughts I made it to my apartment. I check the door handle to see if it's in the same position I had it. I learned this trick from Death Note a manga I used to read.(I do not own Death Note!) To my pleasure it was unmoved so I dubbed it safe to go in. After locking the door behind me I went to the bathroom to take a shower so that I could do my night job. Yes I have a night job due to the fact I don't get enough of an allowance from the Hokage so I got a job at a hair salon. Before I get into the shower I look into the mirror to see what I look like like I always do before a shower. It's just a habit I picked up.

As I look in the mirror I see a girl of about 12 with butt length red hair like my mother that could rival fire. She also had blue as the sky eyes. She had 3 whisker marks on either side of her cheeks. That 's what the mirror showed. It also showed she was about 4'11 which made her one of the shortest in her class she was had an A cup. She was thin. It was at the point where if she lost anymore weight then you could see her ribs. She also was very pale. She couldn't get a tan to save her life. Her paleness could rival a Uchihas. All in all she looked quite good compared to the girls in her class that wore too much make-up and tried to seduce the teme regularly.

Also no one really compared her to any of the girls so she must of looked ok. It also helped though that everyone thought of her as a boy so they never really compared her looks to a girl. It helped her ego that people were just calling her a dope and not calling her ugly. She got enough comments like that from the villagers... NONONO don't think about them! I'm taking a shower not getting chased. I thought as I finally got into the shower.

***20 minutes later***

As I got out of the shower I went into my room and looked for the outfit I was going to wear to the salon for my job. The salon didn't really have a dress code except to wear dresses. So basicly my closet is one side orange outfits the other side all sorts of dresses ranging in all sorts of colors except orange. To tell you the truth the Salon I work at is quite popular and I am a favorite there. I actually sometimes get girls from my class showing up and not recognizing me due to the fact I didn't hide my hair under a hat and I'm not wearing orange. Also I hide my whisker marks under make-up so my most distinguishing feature is hidden also.

I decided to wear a simple blue knee-length dress with a black belt. I wear a necklace with a black pendant on the end. I also wear black high heels. I also have black pearl earings. I then get going to go to my job. I know that some people need a licence to cut hair but I have an apprenticship or that's what they say so that I can cut hair. I plan to quit after I become a genin. So their sorta sad to see me go.

As I went into the shop I went to the receptionist and asked for my appointments. I am completely booked since I am one of the favorites in the salon. Though I love being a ninja the most a hair stylist comes at a close second. I also have a more artistic side then most people. My room may be messy with garbage everywhere. I also have pictures I drew all over the walls there actually pretty good considering that I only have about 5 minutes of free time a day with the job and all. My work hours are sometime after school ends to 9 oclock during the week. The weekend I worked from 5 am to 9 pm. Due to my popularity mostly and also due to the fact I love hair styling. Even though I wasn't really into it today since I had the Genin exams in my mind. I was scared that I was going to fail for the third time. Though I decided if I failed the exam again then I would become a hairstylist. 'I would bet that even though all the people I work for don't want to see me fail so I don't have to quit.'

As I finished for the day at 9oclock as usual I started to walk home. I was silently hoping the villagers wouldn't show up. As if fate where shining down on me (sound familiar?) I didn't run into them. I silently got ready for bed and went to sleep. Hopping beyond hope that I would be judged fairly. Because that was my only hope for passing tomorrow.

***Next Day***

As I got up I did what I usually do. I went to take a quick shower. As usually I looked at my reflection. Since I knew that this would be the last time I look at myself as an academy student. Next time I looked I would either be a full time ninja or a hairstylist. After my shower I went to put on what I usually wear. My usually outfit consist of an ugly as heck orange jumpsuit that hid the fact that I was a girl due to the fact of how baggy it was. I then grabbed a blue hat that I put on after putting my hair in a bun to hid all my hair. Since I didn't want it to get in my way. I also put on a mask over the lower part of my face since I didn't want anyone to see the ugly marks that looked like whiskers.

After I put on my outfit I then went to make breakfast. Though everyone thought I ate ramen for every meal I just ate it when I didn't have other food in the house. Which thankfully I did since I just got my pay check yesterday and the villagers haven't ransacked my house and destroyed all my food yet. So I was able to make one of my favorite breakfast meals bacon and eggs. After finishing the meal I checked my clock and saw that it was only ten minutes until class started. I hurried and put on my shoes and was out the door.

As I was running to class I saw or more like felt all the glares they gave me. I was almost to the acadamy when one of them threw a rock by pure instinct I dodged it. As if a free for all started every villager in site started throwing rocks. I ran. Trying to get to the acadamy at the acadamy I was safe since other childern where their. As I made it the rock throwing stopped. Luckily I dodged all the rocks. So I wasn't hurt but the fear I felt was still their. You could tell if you wanted to by the shaking of my body. But as usual no one cared. How could they their parents probably told them I was a demon and stay away from me. I didn't care though. At least I didn't show it. In reality my mind was breaking. I tried so hard to see the good part of my life but how could someone in my situation do it. The only things I truely loved was being a ninja which I wasn't good at at all and hairstyling. Which I won't be able to do if I become a ninja. So life really wasn't fair to me. Sure I still loved to draw but I would only be able to do that in my free time. Which wouldn't be much with the training I would put myself through. Since being a ninja would be my pay other than hairstyling. So I would be able to train myself more.

As I thought about this I walked into the building and went to the first room for the writted exams. As I sat down I waited since I knew that after today my destiny would be decided. I just hoped that I liked what if fortold.

Hope you liked it! I sure liked writing it. This story just popped into my head and I started writing it. Well anyways please R&R!!!!
