Alright, here is the next chapter of the story and thank you dinon 17 for reviewing the prologue, I plan to make it longer and I will try not to put it in paragraph form.
To everyone who reads this I decided to make this fic because I have seen very few stories where something bad happens to Naruto by the village and his friends and mentor try to help him, true there is the third hokage and Tsunade in most stories that help and care about him, but in most stories most of the rookies ridicule him minus Hinata of course. So I decided to make one myself.
ENJOY
Chapter 1
Naruto abruptly wakes up from the dream with beads of sweat coming down his face. "It was just a nightmare" he says. The blond haired gennin then look out the window to see that it is morning. 'Right I have go to granny Tsunade along with the others' Naruto gets off the small bed in his apartment and goes to the mirror in his bathroom. It has been a month since Naruto and Shikamaru, Chouji, Neji, Kiba, and Akamaru failed on their mission to bring back Sasuke who left village for Orochimaru.
Ever since that day, he made a promise to his teammate Sakura that he would get stonger to get back Sasuke. However recently, he felt so discouraged, not by the other rookies but somehow the villagers were giving off some aura of a stronger hate and disdain at Naruto.
Their comments while quiet and not loud enough, but easy for Naruto to hear, were even more severe as well as their glares. Sometimes for the past few weeks, all Naruto could hear was
"Look at 'it', 'it's' worthless"
"That monster drove away the Uchiha"
"He is nothing but demon, a freak, why do we even let 'it' live in this village"
"We should have put 'it' down like the animal 'it' is"
"That good for nothing demon brat will never amount to anything, he's a failure, he even failed to bring back the Uchiha"
"For all I know 'It' was probably the one who drove away the Uchiha, or maybe killed him"
All those whispers and glares by the villagers were tearing at his heart, and bit by bit he began to lose hope. They didn't even think of him as a human being now. It shouldn't be new to Naruto considering that it's been this way for his whole life. The villagers always made it clear that they hated him and every second of his being here in the village, they expressed their hate through glares and whispers at first, but when he turned five, they started to express that hate by beating him and remind him why they do it. Naruto always remembered what they would always say after every attack on him.
"You are a monster, a demon, you deserve this because of what you did!"
Naruto kept remembering those days, he hated it but he could not stop it, the memories would always remind him of the pain and he would always hide it with a 'mask' or fake smiles. Naruto was good at them to a point where everyone would not take notice of it, but lately, it was harder to maintain that mask, with Sasuke's departure and the death of Third Hokage, the first person who ever cared about him.
Naruto comes back to his senses as he looks at himself in the mirror; he sees a few tears coming down his eyes. He wipes them away and then shakes his head left and right to snap himself out of it. 'I can't think about them.' He then takes a shower then puts on his trademark orange jumpsuit and leaves by locking the door. 'Yeah, like they won't break in' He thought. He then heads on towards Hokage tower.
Going out of his apartment building and into the streets Naruto tries ignore the villagers already glaring at him and attempts to block them out of his mind, but he can't help feel so hurt, so alone, he has the feeling that something bad is going to happen. But also he feels like he is forgetting something important, but he is not able to. What was it that he was supposed to remember, was it an object, was it a letter, or was it something a person said to him that was not related to the Nine-tailed fox.
"Perhaps if you would stop and look to your right, you would know you insolent brat" said the nine-tails breaking Naruto from his line of thought.
Naruto did as the fox said looked to the right, only to have his entire body freeze up and his eyes widen with realization and fear. He saw a street filled with people that were setting up banners and lighting up lanterns. He read what the largest banner said.
"13th Anniversary of Kyuubi Defeat"
"13th Anniversary" Naruto quietly said "That would mean today is…"
"Hey look it's him!" said an elderly villager grabbing Naruto's attention, soon many villagers including the people who were working on the banners had stopped what they were and turned their Naruto. Their expressions turned from casual or bored to full of hate and anger.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE DEMON? HAVE YOU COME TO FLAUNT YOUR DISGUSTING PRESENCE AROUND HERE?!" one villager said, he glared at Naruto so fierce that it would make all the tailed beasts back down. Soon they all had started to do the same thing, even Chunnin who had come across what was happening and no doubt hated Naruto with a passion joined in. Then they all started to yell things at Naruto.
"Demon monster"
"FREAK"
"Worthless creature, you think anything would change if you became a ninja"
"YOU'RE A FAILURE; YOU COULD NOT EVEN BRING BACK THE UCHIHA!"
"MONSTER! YOU'RE NOT EVEN FIT TO BE CONSIDERED A HUMAN BEING"
"MY BROTHER AND HIS WIFE ARE DEAD BECAUSE OF YOU"
Naruto was afraid, his body was frozen, his eyes were filled with so much fear and pain and terror. Then tears started to well up on his eyes. For the first time, he was starting to lose hope. For the first time, he was starting to break. The villagers had done things like this before even beat him, but they stopped at the time he joined the academy, but after what's happened he knew that this time it was going to be worse.
"Insolent brat, DO SOMETHING, MOVE, RUN, HELL DEFEND YOURSELF, use that perverted jutsu or something to try and make an escape!" said the Nine-tails "even if I do try and defend myself or use that jutsu, they will just hate me even more" replied Naruto.
Naruto did not want to do anything that would increase their hatred for him, but now he just completely gave up and lost all that hope he had inside him. "BOY, please do something quick I do not want to waste my chakra on you" the Nine-tails, although he did not like the fact that he was imprisoned in Naruto since birth and did not really see the boy as a friend much less an acquaintance , he had pitied him after the treatment he has received from the villagers.
"I'm sorry I…..I can't" said Naruto, but his attention is immediately brought back to the rising crowd of villagers he observes them turning his head left and right and observes that they were holding knives, wooden clubs, shards of glass, some chunnin were even holding kunai and shuriken, and others were just going to use their bare fists.
In one last attempt, Naruto yells out to the mob surrounding him and with tears running down his face he pleads "Please, don't do this, I…..I didn't do anything, please(sniff), that…that was the nine-tails not me, please(sniff)…don't hurt me." Naruto had one sliver of hope that this would work but a chunnin says
"SHUT YOU DAMN MONSTER! DON'T TRY AND TRICK US WITH THOSE TEARS, DON'T EVEN AND CLAIM YOUR INNOCENCE CAUSE YOU DAMN WELL KNOW WHAT YOU DID 13 YEARS AGO. YOU TOOK AWAY OUR FAMILIES, OUR CHILDREN, OUR LOVED ONES, OUR PRECIOUS PEOPLE. MOST IMPORTANTLY YOU TOOK AWAY THE LIFE OF THE FOURTH HOKAGE"
Another chunnin speaks out
"YOU THINK YOU CAN BECOME HOKAGE, FOOLISH MONSTERS LIKE YOU CAN NEVER BECOME HOKAGE, YOU WORTHLESS, YOU DON'T DESERVE DREAMS, 13 YEARS AGO. YOU TOOK AWAY OUR FAMILIES, OUR CHILDREN, OUR LOVED ONES, OUR PRECIOUS PEOPLE. MOST IMPORTANTLY YOU TOOK AWAY THE LIFE OF THE FOURTH HOKAGE"
Another chunnin speaks out
"YOU THINK YOU CAN BECOME HOKAGE HAH! FOOLISH MONSTERS LIKE YOU CAN NEVER BECOME HOKAGE, YOU WORTHLESS, YOU DON'T DESERVE DREAMS, YOU DON'T DESERVE TO HAVE HAPPINESS, YOU DON'T DESERVE TO LIVE IN THIS VILLAGE, AND YOU DON'T DESERVE TO BE A NINJA!"
Villagers then started shouting
"YOU'RE A FAILIURE!"
"YOU DROVE AWAY THE UCHIHA!"
"YOU NOTHING BUT A FREAK, EVEN YOUR SO CALLED FRIENDS HATE YOU!"
"YOU WILL NEVER AMOUNT TO ANYTHING; YOU SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A HUMAN BEING, MUCH LESS A BOY, BECAUSE REALLY, YOU ARE A MONSTER!"
And with that Villagers started yelling and then they slowly came straight towards Naruto who with the look in his eyes has finally shattered as the shadows of the mob covers him from head to toe.
And so the pain begins.
ALLRIGHT, that's for this chapter because honestly I had to do a lot of thinking about how to make the insults and the comments fiercer so they could actually hurt someone emotionally. But anyway I hope you enjoy.
