Chapter One- The Journey Begins
Naruto bolts up quickly grabbing a kunai from under his pillow. Then he as he franticly looks around his eyes stop on a loud alarm clock ringing. He sighs and relaxes but only slightly. Naruto gets up and heads towards the bathroom he takes a shower then brushes his teeth and eats a measly breakfast of slightly rotten fruit and a ramen cup. The blonde goes to the mirror and stares at himself. A furious look graces his features but soon disappears and is replaced by a tired expression.
' I look like hell' Naruto thinks as his gaze focuses in on the horrible cuts and bruises that spot his body. 'well at least Kyu-chan managed to heal most of my broken bones' all that was left were a few cracks in his ribs.
Something inside him growls as a voice goes through his head "Why do you keep letting them do this to you I know you can easily kill all of them so why do you keep letting them hurt you?" Kyuubi growls at me hatred in her voice.
' You know why Kyu-chan the council would have me killed or banished if I even slightly hurt one of the villagers. I don't want to be homeless even if my home right now isn't much better than that.' I replied "hn" was all the answer I got back. I thought back to the time I had first met Kyuubi and smiled one of my very rare real smiles.
Flashback
I was running again, this time it was different though. I knew I absolutely could not get caught. It was my birthday again, I know what your thinking now how is that so bad right? Well unlike most kids who look forward to their birthdays thinking of presents and cake I am terrified of mine. I shiver at the mere mention of the dreaded day. It is one of the worst days of my life. Last year on my fifth birthday I was cornered by some drunk villagers and the torture lasted hours. They stabbed me, broke almost all my bones, and other stuff I would rather not recall. Now it was happening again the drunk villagers on my trail and their mob getting bigger with every passing second. Apparently this was a new event they had invented last year for the festival. It was called Demon Hunt. I had no idea what that meant except that was what they always called me, a demon.
Just like right now. As I ran I could hear them yelling 'Demon' and 'Monster' at me and through various sharp objects. One of which struck my leg causing me to fall. I desperately tried to get back up but it was to late, they had me. I was totally surrounded as they stared at me with blood lust in their eyes. They literally had pitchforks and torches. It was pitch black and I couldn't see anything except their faces illuminated by the fire casting dark shadows and I wondered if I would survive.
Then it started, all at once as if by a signal they pounced on me. All I could see was blackness as the ungodly pain shot threw me as if each of my nerves were on fire. I was being stabbed by knives and kunai, burned by torches, and had my bones crushed by clubs and other blunt objects. The pain was unimaginable and my throat was being torn up at the screams I was letting loose. They were heard across Konoha as some ignored them, others were frightened by the howls of pain, while others still smiled knowing who they belonged to.
I smiled as I felt the sweet blackness envelope me and I knew death was on it's way. I felt relief wash over me as everything went dark.
I woke up in a large room it was dark and had some pipes running through it. It reminded me of a sewer with the water dripping down the walls. The next thing I noticed was the giant cage and the piece of paper on it with the kanji for 'seal' written on it. At first I thought the cage was empty but then something moved and I realized I was staring at a huge… bunny? It was blood red and as It opened it's eyes I saw they were also red and slitted. It looked at me with mild amusement.
"So you're my new container, a short aren't ya?" It bellowed then laughed at my face when It saw me gaping at It. "I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess you don't know about me?" It asked.
"N-No Bunny-chan" I stuttered.
'Bunny-chan' growled and said to me "First of all I'm not a bunny I'm a demon fox and second of all I also happen to be the very powerful Kyuubi no Kitsune so show some respect will you. Also I am locked inside of you and have been sleeping the whole time but now I'm awake so tell me about what has been going on through the years. Or you know what, I'll just read over your memories." I was confused, the Kyuubi was sealed inside of me I thought it had been killed when it attacked the village. But then everything clicked into place, my lack of parents, the villagers hating me and calling me a demon, and my birthday, it all fit together. I looked up at the Kyuubi to see she had her eyes closed, probably going through my memories or whatever. After a few minutes she opened her eyes and they were filled with hatred.
" THOSE FUCKING BASTARDS HOW DARE THEY DO THIS TO YOU CAN'T THEY TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE CONTAINER AND THE DEMON! I'LL RIP THEIR THROUGHTS OUT!" She screamed as I cowered thinking I had done something wrong and she was going to hurt me. She looked over at me and her eyes suddenly softened when she saw my fear. Her furry form started to almost melt away and was left with a human figure except for nine tails and pointed ears. She was wearing a long red dress with black around the sleeves and bottom that fit her curves nicely. She strolled closer to me with amazing grace and scooped me up in her arms. " I'm sorry for frightening you Naruto-kun. Please call me Kyuubi-chan. Would you like for me to train you?" she asked softly. My eyes widened at the prospect of training and I nodded my head eagerly. Kyuubi-chan smiled and said "Then your training will strart tomorrow"
Quickly after that things went dark again and I opened my eyes to see I was being carried by someone in an ANBU mask. He muttered something to do with troublesome villagers then landed on the edge of a window. I looked and saw it was my own house the ANBU went in and laid me on my bed then took off back through the window.
I looked down and saw all my wounds were healed and smiled. Soon I drifted off into a blissful sleep.
Flashback End
I smiled at the memory as I got dressed in my 'here I am kill me' sign of an orange jumpsuit. I hated it but it was part of my idiot mask that I used at school so no one could see my true strength. Then I put on my fake smile, something that I had perfected over the years and headed out the door to the ninja academy.
