Chapter 1: The Beginning

Shattering. Breaking.

These sounds terrified the young boy as he ran for his life through the crowded streets, away from the growing mob. The crowd seemed to consist of all kinds of people, unified in their hatred for the poor boy, who, despite his fear, could not think for the life of him what he had done to deserve the sharp words and objects that were thrown at him now, among them "Demon spawn", "Brat", and "Kill the little *$^#!". Not that it ever mattered. The entire village seemed to love chasing him down, especially on his birthday, which was today. He'd heard some things about how birthdays were always supposed to be happy, but he'd never had a birthday that didn't involve running. As he dashed into a small alley, he wondered why it always had to be him. None of them ever touched the other children, yet when they saw him, they screamed, yelled threats, or skipped threats and attacked him.

"There he goes no-urgh!"

As the villager finished his sentence, a black and silver blur charged him and knocked him down. The blur then turned into a masked teenager who started to demobilize the crowd, assisted by several others, all in masks. The shouts of anger quickly turned to shouts of surprise.

"THAT"S ENOUGH!" cried the teenager. The crowd began fleeing, and some, pretending to flee, took shortcuts and resumed their chase of the boy, who hadn't noticed the fight.

"Neko, Hebi, follow those civilians!" A purple haired figure and a green haired figure nodded and jumped off towards the persistent pursuers, vowing not to let them touch a hair on the blonde's hide (shut up you perverts).

Meanwhile, the blond, continuing his scurrying, had decided to head to the forests just out of town where he had found a hollowed- out tree that he used as a hiding place. He went there whenever he needed to hide, or be alone, or to just have some quiet time.

As he neared the welcoming tree line, he heard yells beginning to rise up again behind him. They'd found him again.

Anko (Hebi) cursed as she searched for the man she sought. That man knew too many tricks and shortcuts for a chuunin. With the tricks he had pulled, he could very well have found Naruto by now.

'I can't believe I fell for that stupid wire trick! That one was obvious! How did I miss that!?"

Now she had gotten lost in some kind of maze in the guy's house, and getting more lost and more pissed off with each turn.

"Alright, this guy has some serious paranoia issues and way too much free time!"

"Come back here you dirty rat!"

The blonde kept running. The man was catching up to him and they had passed by his hiding spot a long time ago. He wasn't going to make it this time, he thought.

Suddenly the forest opened up into a small clearing. The boy quickly tried to run through, but stumbled and fell. His leg hit a protruding rock with a resounding crack, and he began screaming in pain.

His single pursuer entered the clearing with a grin. "Now I've got you, you damned fox!"

The youth rose, but his leg protested too much, and he fell back down to earth with a plop. The man grinned.

"Ha, so the fox can't run. Serves you right you little *****."

He pulled out a large knife and a cold gleam came into his eyes.

"Please…" whimpered the boy. " I haven't done anything."

"HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING? You've done plenty! What do you think happened to my wife?"

"Please… I didn't do anything."

"JUST DIE YOU ****! DIE FOR KANNA!"

The boy curled reflexively and the stab came.

"Gah!"

The boy looked up. The man had missed him by mere centimeters, and embedded his knife in the ground instead. Instead of the blonde writhing, the man fell sideways with a look of pain and surprise on his face. Behind him another man stood, and sheathed a sword.

"Are you alright?" the man said.

The boy winced. "Don't hurt me. I didn't do anything!"

"Why would I hurt you?" the man said curiously.

The child curled into a ball. "I don't know. Everyone hurts me. They don't tell me why."

The man's eyes widened. "Who hurts you?"

He huddled into a tighter ball. "E-everyone. They all do. Don't hurt me."

The older one knelt down beside him. "It's okay. I won't hurt you."

The blonde simply tightened his legs, and looked out with fearful eyes. The man sighed.

"I won't hurt you. You're leg is hurt. It needs to be looked at."

The blonde barely reclined his head. This had happened before. People always acted nice to him, but got angry after they found out his name. It always happened. They sometimes even let him in their house, and he had even made some friends. But once they found out his name, they always threw him out, physically. One lady had tossed him out of her second story apartment building. Another had called for the ANBU.

"I'm not going to hurt you. My name is Komataru Senji (1). What's your name?"

The boy feebly tried to crawl away, his leg protesting again.

Senji sighed again. "I'm not going to hurt you. What's your name?"

The boy glanced fearfully up at him, and then looked down. "U-uzumaki Naruto." He immediately curled back into his ball and waited for the blows to start.

"Naruto. That's a nice name."

Naruto slowly looked up, disbelievingly. He stared at the strange man, who grinned back at him. His eyes began to water, and then he launched himself at the man (to slight verbal protest), crying as hard as he ever had. The man adorned a smile, and hugged the boy until he cried himself out.

"Now, little one, do you have a mother?"

Hearing no response, he looked down to see the blonde was asleep.

He chuckled. "Little tyke…"

The downed, and apparently unwounded man groaned.

Senji kicked him. "Oh, shut up, you."

He looked down at Naruto. 'Now, what to do with you…' he thought.

'I can't enter the village, and I can't send him in alone… I might as well keep him for now, and see if anyone misses him.'

With that, he turned, and disappeared into the darkness.

1: In Japan, family names come first, and given names come second. So in America/England/wherever the hell you are, assuming this is still English, Komataru Senji would be Senji Komataru. I don't know what his name means, I just like names that start with s and sound Japanese.

My first chappy! Wheee!

You know you want to push that button. The big, looming, button. All hail the button!
