One Wing's Enough

Chapter 1: The Brutal "Gift"

The first thing Naruto opened his eyes to was the dark sky, and the two rundown buildings surrounding him in an alley, 'How did I get here? The last thing I remember was opening the birthday gift outside my door...' was the first thought that shot through his head as he got up. Stumbling towards the alley's exit, he began to hear shouts approaching.

"That ninja said that he saw the demon around here!"

"Now I can repay him for killing my brother!"

"Fuck yeah! Let's go kill him now!" Soon, the sounds of loud footsteps grew louder.

'Shit!' Naruto instantly turned around and began running deeper into the alleys, trying to ignore the burning pain that throbbed through his body, forcing him to slow to a limping gait.

"There he is! Get him!"

Naruto barely it made to the end of the alley before he felt someone grab his tattered shirt and was thrown to the ground.

'Fuck, this is going to hurt' Naruto thought as he saw the crowd of villagers gathering around him.

"This is for my brother!" and a cut appeared on his left arm.

"You deserve to die demon!" then a crushing blow was dealt to his face.

"How are you not ashamed of what you did to us!" and Naruto grit his teeth as he felt his leg shatter under a villager's hammer. He wouldn't give them the satisfaction of hearing him scream, of seeing him cry, that would just make the beating worse.

An hour later, Naruto was bruised, cut, and bleeding. Naruto felt the villagers back up a little bit and struggled to rise, hoping it was over. That thought ended when he was kicked over and his left arm was pulled away from his body. Looking up, Naruto saw a blade rising, and realized what they planned to do.

"Now you're going to fucking get it demon!"

Naruto opened his mouth to scream, but all that came out was a strangled whisper, "Please…no…" Then the blade swung down, flashing in Naruto's eyes.

"AHHH!" Naruto's throat finally let out a piercing scream as pain burned through his shoulder. Slowly, black closed in on Naruto's vision as the villager's fled as an Anbu dropped into the alley. Unconsciousness claimed him in red haze.

An Anbu with a dog mask quickly picked up the child and rushed to the hospital, seeing the arm the villagers had cut from his body.

'Naruto, I was too late to stop them, I'm sorry.'

Landing in front of the hospital, the Anbu rushed in. "This child needs to be treated, now!" Immediately, a doctor rushed over to look over the damage, but seeing the victim, he quickly backed off.

"Get the brat out of here, he can heal himsel-" The doctor was cutoff quickly when the shinobi grabbed him by the neck and pulled him close.

"You will heal this boy, and you will do your damned best to keep him alive! And don't even think about trying to kill him on purpose, or I will kill you. Do you understand?" Unleashing his killing intent, the doctor quickly nodded his head, grabbed the boy and rushed to an emergency treatment room, the anbu following closely, the boy's blood staining his clothes.

Naruto opened his eyes again to see himself lying in sewer water in front of a cage that towered above him. Slit eyes, easily twice his size snapped open and a toothy grin widened below it.

"Well, it seems that my host is visiting me. What a pleasant surprise." A dark voice rumbled through the room.

"Wh-Who are you? Where are we?" Stammering, Naruto quickly backed away from the cage.

"Why don't you take a guess? Here's a hint." The voice growled again, the smile behind the bars seemed to widen as he raised his tails, displaying to Naruto just how sharp the being's teeth were.

"Nine tails, that's impossible, you're the...Kyuubi" Disbelief shone in Naruto's as he felt a cold chill in his body.

"Yes, I am the Kyuubi no Kitsune boy. Now what are you doing in your mind, I didn't expect you for a few more years." The identified being then left the shadows of the cage. Naruto then looked upon the sinister face of the Kyuubi.

"I-I don't know, the last thing I remember was my arm being cut off…but why do I still have it here? And why are you here?" Naruto quickly calmed down as he remembered the bijuu was locked behind the cage bars.

"Your arm was cut off boy; your mind just hasn't accepted that yet. As for why I'm here, I was sealed inside you by the Yondaime." The beast's reply made Naruto's freeze.

'The Yondaime sealed Kyuubi inside me? But Oji-san always said he didn't know, and he's the hokage!' The thought that the Hokage lied to him, all those times he asked why he had to deal with the hate, Naruto's blood began to boil…

"Naruto, that's not important right now, we need to talk about your arm…" The Kyuubi's reminder snapped Naruto from his thoughts.

"What about my arm? It's gone right?" The question actually seemed to affect the bijuu since it seemed to actually flinch.

"Yes, you being my host has given you accelerated healing, but even with my power, I can't restore your arm. But I wanted to ask you about your dream, about being a ninja."

"I can't give up Kyuubi, I will prove the villager's wrong, I will show them that taking my arm did nothing, I will make them acknowledge me!" Naruto declared his defiance as he rose from the ground and met the Kyuubi's eyes.

"Good, I won't have a quitter as my host. It's time for you to wake boy, next time you want to come here, just focus on your seal as you meditate or sleep. Oh, and I think you should know, the old man is waiting for you," the Kyuubi told him.

Nodding to the Kyuubi, Naruto had one thought as he faded from his mind.

'It's time for some answers Old Man!'
