Naruto - The Ninja Hidden Within Pain. First Naruto Story alright!
The story really begins to change in chapt 2, and so on, so read further for interesting parts.
-In the village hidden within the leaves-
Konoha, a village of people who where grieving over the Yondaime's untimely death due to the Kyuubi.
After all it is only natural for humans to be angered, and saddened at this loss, plus the death of multiple family members.
But, blame also comes with humanity.
The fox had been sealed away into a small boy that goes by the name Naruto Uzumaki.
What better way to take one's anger out on the person holding the fox that had wrecked their homes, families, and lives, right?
Wrong, the villagers made this young child suffer a fate many should not.
This fate was loneliness and hate.
This child that many didn't know was hated for an unjust reason.
Wherever he went he was cast aside, looked down upon, threatened, attacked, cursed at, isolated, alienated...alone.
This child's life begins now.
At age 0-2 Sarutobi had placed him in an orphanage called "Heaven's Embrace" hoping Naruto will live a good life.
At the age of 3 he was kicked out of the Orphanage, saying he'd corrupt the kids.
At age 5 207 beatings occurred, with 82 assassination attempts (all stopped by Inu)
Age 8 Naruto has officially been banned from all shops, restaurants, etc. (except The Ichiraku Ramen Bar)
Age 9 Naruto finds a new place to call home, no matter how run down and crappy it may be (his apartment)
Age 10 Naruto learns and puts on a mask to protect himself from any pain the villagers may bring, also joined Ninja academy.
Age 13 Naruto starts to pull pranks, fails 3 times at the academy, beatings up to 666, and assassination attempts skyrocketed to 1903.
-With Naruto-
Naruto was now running through the village, and he had a good reason to.
He was being chased by the village's best ANBU.
Why you ask? He had painted the hokage's monuments.
Each looking more ridiculous than the last.
Even then, Naruto had just kept a sun-shiny smile on and taunted the ANBU chasing him.
"YOU'RE THE BEST? I'M PRETTY SURE A HALF-DEAD SLUG WOULD BE BETTER THAN YOU MORONS!" Naruto yelled, infuriating the ANBU.
"You dare mock us, demon?" The ANBU know as Jack-Rabbit called out.
"Rabbit! Know your place this isn't the time to let your emotions best you." Inu said to him.
"BUT! IT'S TAUNTING US! HOW WILL WE LET 'IT' GET AWAY WITH THAT!" Jack-Rabbit yelled out.
The ANBU squad of 4 then got into a huge argument about the so called 'demon'.
Inu was the only one not judging Naruto.
The argument stopped when the female ANBU know as Bird called out "IT'S GONE!"
This had alerted the 3 other ANBU Inu, Jack-Rabbit, and Bear.
"GREAT! You let the demon get away! You see this is why I got the special name!" Jack-Rabbit yelled out.
"Is it because you hop in too fast, without thinking?" Inu asked.
"NO! ITS BECAUSE I DON'T TAKE JACK-SHIT FROM NO ONE!" Jack-Rabbit yelled.
"Maybe we should call you Jack-Shit from now on." Inu mumbled.
"NO TIME TO ARGUE WE HAVE TO FIND HIM!" Bear roared to the others, and with that they were away.
When they were gone, a part of a fence started to move.
Naruto had got out of his disguise (he was hiding on a wooden fence with a wooden camo on it) to let out a laugh.
"HAHA! That's why no one stops NAR-" Naruto was cut off as a shinobi appeared in front of him.
"NARUTO! YOUR SUPPOSE TO BE IN CLASS!" The shinobi had yelled.
"Uhh..Iruka...didn't expect to see you here." Naruto said, as he let out a *gulp*
Iruka didn't respond to him as he dragged Naruto to the said academy for beginning ninja.
THE NINJA ACADEMY!
-At the Academy-
"Alright class, lets continue with yesterday's exercises!" Iruka said in a cheery like manner.
They entire class let out a moan of disappointment.
"Hey! These skills will benefit you guys in the future!" Iruka yelled to the class.
"But, sensei." Naruto started but did not finish due to Iruka's harsh, yet caring words.
"Naruto! Your the one who needs this training the most!" Iruka said, making the whole class laugh at Naruto (except a certain Hyuga).
Naruto just shrunk down at his desk knowing it would only continue to get worse.
To make matters worse, Naruto decided to slack off in the class (like a certain Nara).
Iruka called Naruto out only, making the class once again roar in laughter.
Iruka didn't want it to be shown as hatred, more as respect.
-after class-
Naruto was dragged by Iruka to clean the hokage's monuments.
"Hurry it up Naruto, we don't have all day!" Iruka called to Naruto.
"It's not like I have anyone to go back to!" Naruto yelled at Iruka.
Iruka knew full well that Naruto was lonely, he himself was once lonely as well.
It wasn't as severe as Naruto's loneliness, but loneliness is a void.
A void that consumes the hearts of others, showing them how alone they truly are.
The farther the void takes one's heart, the lonelier they are.
This being considered Naruto's heart probably wouldn't be visible.
"Hey Naruto, how about after your done we go for some ramen?" Iruka asked, knowing the answer already.
"Alright! You really mean it Iruka?" Naruto asked, hoping for a yes.
"Yea, my treat." Iruka responded, making Naruto jump in joy.
"Alright!" Naruto yelled, as his strength was restored and finished cleaning the hokage's monument in record time.
"That's Naruto for ya." Iruka had thought.
-time skip-
The graduation started and everyone went except Naruto.
"Naruto-kun you can do it" Thought Hinata Hyuga (The only female student to respect him as a person).
"Naruto, you can pass this test!" Thought Iruka
"The demon-brat will defiantly fail" thought Mizuki, as he performed hand-seals.
"Clone Jutsu!" Naruto yelled.
A puff of smoke covered the room and revealed a half-dead clone lying on the ground.
"I'm sorry Naruto, you fail" Iruka said.
"hn. The dobe failing no surprise there." Sasuke said as the class began to laugh at Naruto's failure.
Ashamed, Naruto walked outside the school and sat on a swing.
Moments later people came along to the academy, congratulating their relatives, and friends.
Naruto just sat there staring with a blank expression on his face.
He began to wonder why he didn't have a person who treated him like that.
He then thought it would be a better to ask the old man later, after he got some rest at his 'home'.
As he got off the swing and began walking he heard two people talk about him.
"Did you hear the monster failed again?" One woman said.
"I know, imagine what would happen if it became a ninja." The other women said.
Naruto could take no more and ran into the forest.
There he sat near a tree, depressed he failed a 4th time in the academy.
His thought was interrupted when Mizuki came from above him.
"Hey there Naruto, why do you look so sad?" Mizuki said clearly being a good actor.
"I failed the exam again and I really wanted to pass this time."
"I tried to vouch for you, but Iruka was not having it. Although, I do know anthor way you can pass, the extra credit exam." Mizuki said.
"Really?" Naruto yelled, he had fallen into the trap of Mizuki.
-With the Hokage and council-
"We cannot allow that thing to prance around this village any longer!" a councilmen yelled.
"Agreed! That demon has plagued us long enough!" a civilian yelled.
"That thing you call it is just a boy, no harm to us! I can't say the same to him though." Inoichi said, making the feud louder.
Cries of "PREPOSTEROUS!" "THE DEMON IS IN DISGUISE!" and "WE MUST GET RID OF IT!" where heard throughout the council.
"ENOUGH! The boy should not be mistreated the way he is already!" Sarutobi yelled silencing them all.
"Hokage, if I may?" a random council member asked.
"You may." He said as the council member went on.
"Wouldn't it be better for all of us if the de- boy were to be out of this village." He continued hoping not to piss off the Hokage.
"What do you mean by that?" Sarutobi asked, know full well where it was going.
"I mean find the boy a new village! He is out of our hair and he is no longer injured! Simple as that!" He ended with a smile.
"He shouldn't be injured in the first place! This is what I've been telling you people!" Sarutobi yelled.
"Yes, this may be true but he still is." He informed Sarutobi.
Sarutobi was about to continue the dispute until a council member yelled "I SAY WE BANISH THE DEMON!".
Many applauded the idea of finally getting rid of 'The demon filth of Konoha'.
"We shall do no such thing!" Sarutobi yelled to them.
"Actually its up to you and the council." Danzo said as he made his way onto the scene.
"This would've been avoided if you just turned him into a weapon, like I said Sarutobi." Danzo thought.
"All those calling for the Demon's banishment say Hai!" Danzo called.
The civilian side all voted yes, but had some dispute with the ninjas.
"He's a hard worker! We'll be at a loss of a future ninja!" Tsume yelled.
"Indeed, even though he is troublesome he will be a great ninja!" Shikaku said.
"The boy has the mind of a ninja, he has seen many things, and still wants to be happy" Inochi said.
"*munch* *munch* Agreed, he will a good *munch* ninja" Chouza said, while eating a bag of barbecue chips .
"Hmph! it seems we are at a stalemate Danzo!" Sarutobi yelled, making his hope rise.
"Not at all Hiashi Hyuga has yet to vote." Danzo said, making Sarutobi sweat-drop.
"Hmm...keep him or banish him" Hiashi said.
"This village only hurts him, it would be for the boy's best interest to find a new home." Hiashi thought.
"I vote to...banish him" Hiashi said.
Glares flew like daggers all around as the civilian side started to cheer and rejoice.
"I'm sorry Naruto." Sarutobi said as he let loose a single tear.
"Sarutobi! You may evacuate the demon in 1 week's time, after that he will be considered trespassing, and will be executed." Danzo said with cocky smile.
"Alright, but! He will have the choice to either stay with his new home or rejoin us in 5 years!" Sarutobi yelled.
The civilians started an uproar.
But, was quickly stopped when Tsume yelled "THE BOY IS BANISHED FOR FIVE FUCKING YEARS! LET HIM HAVE THE CHOICE TO STAY AT HIS HOME OR REJOIN US!"
After the the civilians started to change their tone, the demon is banished let him make the choice to come back here or not.
"Fine, Sarutobi go warn the boy." Danzo said with a frown.
He knew he had a temporary victory.
Sarutobi left to his chambers.
-In Sarutobi's chamber's-
Not even five minutes passed, when a ninja barged through his doors.
"LORD HOKAGE! NARUTO HAS STOLEN THE FORBIDDEN SCROLL!" The ninja yelled.
"WHAT?" His screamed echoed through the elemental countries.
-With Naruto-
"Alright, have to wait for Mizuki-sensei to get here." Naruto said to himself.
"Naruto!" Iruka called out.
"Iruka-sensei!" Naruto called back.
"Naruto what the hell compelled you to do this?" Iruka asked.
"Mizuki-sensei said I'd be able to pass if I took the scroll and brought it here!" Naruto chirped out in joy.
"Why would Mizuki...Naruto look out!" Iruka yelled as he tackled Naruto and windmill shuriken was shown in the tree next to them.
"Huh?" Was all Naruto asked, he was too confused to move.
"Well, Iruka never expected you to defend the demon." Mizuki let out a sinister chuckle after saying this.
"Your wrong Naruto isn't a demon! He is Naruto Uzumaki!" Iruka called back.
Naruto was still shocked at a teacher whom he trusted had tried to kill him.
To make matters worse Mizuki broke the 4ths law.
Naruto was thrown into despair as his ex-teacher began yelling.
"The reason why everyone hates you is because YOU ARE THE NINE-TAILED FOX!" Mizuki shouted
Naruto acted on impulse and took the scroll and ran back to the village.
"Naruto no!" Iruka yelled as he fought off Mizuki.
Iruka charged in front of Naruto to block a Windmill shuriken, with his back.
"Why Iruka-sensei?" Naruto asked.
"Because, Naruto. You and I are alike in so many different ways. We both grew up without a parent's love. We both felt loneliness. You however have felt so much more pain than I have, even with this shuriken in my
back." Iruka explained.
"Naruto please run, go live so you may become the future hokage one day." Iruka said.
Naruto took off leaving Iruka with Mizuki.
"We end this now Mizuki." Iruka said
"I couldn't agree more Iruka" Mizuki replied.
-With Sarutobi-
"Oh this can't be good, Naruto has become far too angry that he may release the fox." Sarutobi explained to no one.
Sarutobi then continued to look into his crystal ball.
-Back to the chase-
Naruto was running on the trees trying to get away.
"Naruto! Mizuki has been captured! Give me the scroll!" Iruka called out.
Naruto turned to him and threw 3 kunai at him, which Iruka dodged.
"How did you know I wasn't Iruka?" Mizuki asked as he transformed back to his form.
"Because I'm Iruka" Iruka said changing back into himself.
"You still up after that beating I gave you?" Mizuki asked.
"You really think that demon cares?" Mizuki continued to ask.
"He isn't a demon. Naruto is too kind to be evil or mean. He is always out there trying to get anyone's attention. He is Naruto Uzumaki and he will be
Hokage some day!" Iruka yelled, not knowing Naruto was behind him.
"Well Iruka I'll kill you first and then the demon." Mizuki said as he took out a anthor windmill shuriken and threw it at Iruka.
Iruka had waited for the Shuriken to hit him, but it didn't.
"Don't you lay a finger on my sensei!" Naruto yelled at Mizuki, the windmill shuriken in Naruto's hands.
Mizuki looked smug and asked "What are you gonna do if I do?"
"I'll kill you!" Naruto yelled at Mizuki.
"Big words for a demon!" Mizuki yelled as he charged Naruto.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Naruto yelled as about 500 Narutos' appeared.
"Alright you guys get him!" The original yelled.
Multiple yells of "YEA!" could be heard from the Narutos'.
Mizuki stood there and started to yell.
His cries heard by the village.
After Mizuki's beating, Naruto walks up to see if he is alright.
"Iruka-sensei? Are you alright?" Naruto asked concerned for his teacher.
"Naruto close your eyes." Iruka instructed.
So Naruto did, and while his eyes were close he felt something on his head.
"Okay Naruto open your eyes, and feel your forehead." Iruka said.
Naruto did and felt a headband.
"Congratulations Naruto, you passed." Iruka said
Naruto being overwhelmed with joy sprang at Iruka with a hug connecting to him.
"Nothing can ruin this day!" Naruto yelled out to where everyone in the village heard him.
Unfortunately, Naruto is going to find out how much people are going to go through just to hurt him.
-End of chapter-
Will I consider Kagome or kikyo into the story? No. Miroku or Sango? Maybe.
