Declaimer: I don't own Naruto... So so very sad.

Chapter 1

Some people call him weird. Others call him stupid. Girls call him ugly. Boys call him annoying. But everyone calls him a demon.
Naruto Uzumaki was born with a demon. Now you ask, how? Well you're going to find out.
Many years ago the village of Konoha was attacked by a demon known as the kyuubi. The village was in mass panic, not knowing how to stop him. But one man knew and put everything on the line to save the village he loved. The fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, sealed the kyuubi away. In what, you ask? He sealed it away inside of a little boy. This boy was born on the day of the attack, October 10. The Hokage used all his strength to defeat the fox demon and was killed. The boy's mother was also killed in the attack. So this boy had a name. And he was chosen for this unlucky fate. His name was Uzumaki Naruto.

The Village Hidden in the Leaves was as peaceful as ever. In fact it was buzzing with excitement. More than usual, for today is a very special day. Today is October 10, the day the kyuubi was sealed away and the village saved.
Everyone was having a good time, running, playing, laughing, and just enjoying themselves. Everyone except Uzumaki Naruto. Said 10 year old boy was hiding in a pile of trash, in a dark alley, trying not to be seen. He was hiding from the villagers. Every day, Naruto would be attacked by villagers, beaten, tortured, misread, and mistaken. But on this day in particular, everyone chose to cause the most pain towards him. He would usually hide in his apartment, but on this day, it wouldn't work. So this had been his hiding spot for this specific day for the past 10 years.
" Why is it always like this? On my birthday too." Naruto said to himself. He was sick of always sitting there, same spot, every year. Naruto sighed. " Can't they mix it up a bit? This is boring."
Naruto continued to quietly talk to himself. Then he heard something. His ninja instincts kicked in and he quickly stood up, realizing that hiding again was inevitable. He pulled some kunai from his pouch and took a fighting stance.
A man walked forward dressed in all black. A basic ninja outfit, but there was no headband. He was burly, had thick glasses, and was rather tall. He looked to about mid-40's due to his stubble on his chin. His brown spiky hair was pulled back into a bandana and there was a glint of an earring in his left ear. He had a smirk dancing on his lips with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth.
" Well I guess I finally found you. Took long enough, though. You're hard to find, ya know that?" he chuckled slightly, and then his smirk turned to a frown. He glared up at Naruto. " You wasted my time, runt. You killed my family! And now you're gonna pay!"
He charged forward, cocking his arm back and ready to swing his bat. As he swung forward, Naruto threw his deep red cloak away revealing black ninja pants, a sleeveless black tank top, black ninja sandals, and a metal belt with a sword strapped to it. He didn't usually carry around his sword, but today was special. He knew he was going to be attacked a lot.
Naruto knew that he would not need to use his sword on him, so he resulted in taking his kunai and slicing the baseball in half. The man stared in dismay at what just happened, but quickly recovered. He didn't give up as Naruto thought. They never do. The burly man brought his fist back to punch Naruto in the face, but Naruto caught it and squeezed.
SNAP!
The burly man fell to the ground in agony as his hand broke. " YOU MONSTER!" he yelled.
Naruto just stood there and watched. He did nothing nor did he feel sorry about what he did. He hated hurting the villagers and he never asked for trouble, but if they pick a fight with him, then he will fight back.
The burly man got off the ground and tried to punch with his other hand, but Naruto did a quick sweep with his leg, tripping the man. Naruto then took the four kunai in his hand a held all of them up to the man's neck. " Are you done yet?" Naruto whispered in the man's ear with a chilling tone.
The man's eyes widened and quickly shook his head yes. Naruto then proceeded to get off the man and walk away without a word.

Naruto had been walking through the streets of Konoha, not caring who looked at him. He just glared right back. Naruto continued to walk until he appeared in front of a large sign. Said sign had an Uchiha symbol upon it. He walked through the gate and made his way to the main compound. He walked up to the house. It was somewhat large, made completely of wood, and had a black roof. It gave the appearance somewhat of a dojo.
Naruto then proceeded to knock on the door. He waited until the door was answered by a boy with raven hair. He had blank charcoal eyes, and was wearing all black. He glared at whoever was disturbing him.
" What?" Sasuke Uchiha demanded. He finally looked up at who it was. He then relaxed. " Oh hey. What's up?" Sasuke opened the door wider for Naruto to step through.
As Naruto made his way through the house, as he knows where he's going since he's been there plenty of times, he came upon the living room. He took a seat on the couch. " I got into another fight today." Naruto sighed.
" What else is new? That happens like five times a day." Sasuke said. Naruto just looked over at him and sighed again. " Yeah I know, but this time I actually hurt the guy bad. I broke his hand and I nearly cut his head off."
Sasuke just stares at his best friend. More like his only friend, but still his best. " It's okay." he said. "I mean you were just defending yourself."
Naruto just stared at the wall. " But not to everyone else. To this village, I'm a monster and should be dead." Naruto took his sword off of the belt, laying it down on the coffee table in front of him. "I'm just getting sick of all of this fighting. It's my own village!" Naruto was starting to get angry. The village hated him for a reason that was not logical. He knew why they hated him, even though no one knew that he knew besides Sasuke. He didn't do anything; the situation was not in his control. Sometimes he wished he could just forget about everything.
" Hey hey hey. Calm down. I have something that'll make you feel better." Sasuke smirked at Naruto's confused face and moved out of the room. Sasuke came back with a thin, long box. " Happy birthday, dobe." Naruto stared in surprise at the box in his hands. He got over his surprise and smiled. He never thought Sasuke would remember to get him something, much less remember his birthday.
Naruto slowly opened the box and pulled the contents out. It was a new sword. The hilt of the sword was gold and was in the design of a dragon. The actual sword was an onyx black and very sharp. It was smooth and shined brightly in the sunlight shining through the window.
Naruto stared at the sword in awe. " This is amazing. I'm speechless. Thank you Sasuke." Naruto said as he smiled at the sword, flipping it over in his hands.
Sasuke stared in amusement at Naruto looking at the sword. " Welcome dobe. Now it's getting dark and you're not going out there to go home. You're going to stay here tonight." Sasuke said as he went into the kitchen to make dinner.
Naruto and Sasuke ate as they talked about anything that came to mind. After that, Naruto proceeded to his room after taking a shower. Sasuke did the same, but before he went to his own room, Naruto stopped him. " Thank you Sasuke." Naruto said again and smiled.
Sasuke just smiles back " Whatever dobe. Night." Naruto turned around to go to his room.
"Night."
