It was a nice autumn morning as young Naruto was roaming the streets in search of something to do to occupy his time and social needs. He spend hours ducking and weaving through many different stores and stands in the merchant district of Kohona. He was desperately trying to keep his mind off of the revelation that occurred only a couple of hours ago. Endlessly wondering through the different building young Naruto was slowly losing the battle with his subconscious and ultimately the nine tailed fox who resides within.
Our young hero becoming bored quickly with his uneventful stroll through the shopping district heads out of the town into the out skirts of Kohona. He sees a hill which acts as a perfect look out spot reigning over the whole village. He quickly ascends the hill and reaches the top only to sit down and lay on his back and watch the clouds pass. He listen to the busy people going about their day within the village walls accepting that he will never be accepted in this community of people. He sits on top of this massive hill for what feels like hours listening and observing the people until he closes his eyes for a brief moment only to be teleported to a very distinctive place within his conscious! The lair of the infamous creature that has cost his homeland their loved ones and there fearless leader.
Naruto awoke within a damp sewer ankle deep in water staring at a cage with a piece of paper that had the words seal written on it. He stood staring at the cage confused. He saw a shadow lurking from within the prison. He moved closer to the source of the movement cautiously hoping that whatever that resides within its prison won't hurt him like the people last night did. He stood only a few inches away from the bars only to have a strong gust of wind blow him backwards. Naruto fell to the ground skidding a few feet from the cage.
"Who's There" Screamed Naruto to the being within the confinement of the cage.
"MORTAL RELEASE THE SEAL I CAN GIVE YOU POWER YOU WILDESS IMAGINATION! FREE ME FROM MY SHACKLES AND I SHALL BECOME YOUR WHOLE WORLD. YOU WILL NEVER SUFFER FROM THE CRULITY OF HUMANITY EVER AGAIN!
"What are you, a friend? I am so lonely and scared!"
"I AM NOT YOUR FRIEND NOR FAMILY I AM THE GREATEST DEAMON TO EVER WALK THIS EARTH….. I AM THE GREAT NINE TAILED FOX PUINY MORTAL! NOW RELEASE ME FROM MY CAGE SO WE CAN BURN THE WORLD TOGETHER AS ONE"
"I am scared. Somebody help me, get me out of here…."
Naruto then faded back to reality. He opened his eyes to realize that kohona was comsumed in darkness. Naruto picked himself up from on top of the hill and started to make his way back to his home. Half way back to his apartment Naruto felt his stomach grumble and decided to stop by his favorite restraint, the infamous Ichiraku's ramen. He sat down and yelled out for an order of pork ramen and he was quickly served. This was the fifth time he had ever been here and it quickly became his favorite place. He was treated like a human instead of a demon. He sat and ate in silence only to be approached by three ninja. They quietly approached Naruto and grabbed him out of his seat and threw him against the nearest wall.
No words were said next only the feeling of boots being slammed against his gut till he couldn't breathe. As Naruto was about to pass out from the pain he saw one of the ninjas eyes go wide all of a sudden and fall over with a kunai in his back. Blood started to pour from his wound and slowly soaked Naruto's clothes. The other ninja saw the man approaching quickly and prepared to defend themselves only to have impaled by fifty different shurikens and soon the man fell into a couple different pieces. The last man decided to make a run for it only to be run down by a man in an anbu mask down world slashing his head into. The man fell into two large pieces infront of the young boy. The anbu walked over to Naruto and picked up his battered body. He quietly began running through the village and arrived at Naruto's apartment.
During his rescue and lift home Naruto played dead, not moving a muscle. The man opened the door and set Naruto down on his bed. The man turned to walk out but stopped at the door. He turned back to Naruto and said "You should join the ninja academy so you can take care of yourself. You can't expect somebody to come to your rescue everytime a villager wants to pick a fight with you."
The anbu left in a flash leaving the bleeding blond boy on his bed. The boy pondering over what his savior had said and decided he would ask the Hokage to join the Ninja academy tomorrow. For the rest of the night the boy laid still in a mix of pain of emotion turmoil. Having to come to terms he is a demon and will always be an outcast is taxing on anybody especially the mind of a young child. It took what seemed like hours for the boy to finally succumb to the calling of sleep. Naruto slept for many hours only to wake up in a cold sweat. He has been having night mares as long as he can remember so every night is a new, creative way of torturing his already abused mind. He quickly changed his clothes and ate some ramen. Within five minutes our young hero was bolting out the door to see the Hokage to change the course of his future a dangerous but exciting way.
