Chapter 9 Past
Sakura sat in the same room that Naruto was talking to the Kyuubi only a little bit ago, sitting across from her was Naruto with the fox sitting on the ground facing her as they began their story. The sun picking through the windows as Naruto finished the tale. "Sakura-chan I hope that you can understand this"
Sakura just sat there stunned as what she had just heard her blond friend had carried a heavy burden since birth; she had always wondered why everyone hated him. Now it made sense Naruto had carried the 9 tailed Fox inside him since his father sealed it in him at birth. "So you have the 9 tailed fox sealed in you?" asked Sakura
"No not any more but I have his summoning scroll therefore I can summon him into the real world when ever I want. In fact apart from the times when he wants to take a nap he stays in this world." Said Naruto before looking back at the ground "I would understand if you wanted to leave and never speak to me again."
"Naruto I would never leave you, you stopped the Fox from destroying the village. You are a hero." Said Sakura as she rubbed Naruto check
"You have no idea what the means to me Sakura-Chan" said Naruto as tears filled his eyes "The villagers only saw me as the fox itself not as a person."
"What do you mean?" asked Sakura
"Kit, let me show her." said the Kyuubi as Naruto nodded
"Show me what?" asked Sakura
"Sakura I have the ability to show you kits memories, you will see how he was treated as he grew up."
"Ok" said Sakura as one of the Kyuubi's tails touch each of their foreheads. Suddenly Sakura found herself in a strange place. The wall where burry however two figures came in clearly one was a five year old blond boy, Naruto and some older lady. "Where am I?"
"You are in one of Kit's earliest memory, Sakura." said Kyuubi as he appeared next to Sakura
"Where is Naruto?"
"I am sorry Sakura but I can't bring Naruto into his own memories." said the Kyuubi before going back to explain what was going on "Right now we are in the orphanage that Naruto spent the first 5 years of life." Sakura watched as little Naruto walked up to the lady.
"Excess me, but why don't I get to eat like the others?" asked younger Naruto as he held his stomach.
"Because Demons like you don't deserve food!" yelled the woman as she began hitting Naruto with a wooden stick.
"What is she doing? All he asked for was some food!" yelled Sakura as she clenched her fist as young Naruto curled up into a ball for protection as the stick came down on him faster and harder.
"She is taking out her anger of me, on Naruto." sighed Kyuubi before the image faded "Sakura why do you think Naruto eat like a pig every time he got a chance when he was younger?"
"I don't know." Said Sakura as the image faded and replaced by another this one of Naruto eating some sort of brown grow with mold on it. "What is he doing eating that you can see the mold growing on that thing?"
"That is what Kit got for food only three times at most a mouth at the orphanage." said Kyuubi "When he was younger Sakura they tired to starve him to death."
"So he eats so much because he was remembers being starved by the people at the orphanage as a kid." said Sakura as her fist became titter in anger and tears formed in her eyes. "and I always called him a pig for eating so much food." That is then the image changed to an older Naruto maybe six years old running down the street. "What am I looking at now?" asked Sakura afraid of what she will see next.
"You will see." Said the Kyuubi sadly as younger Naruto fell to the ground with a kunai in his leg.
"I got him." said a man as he appeared along with a crowed of people as Naruto began crawling away.
"Stop why are you casing me?" asked Naruto as he tired to craw away but the mob gathered around him.
"Like you don't know demon" yelled a woman in the group as the mob began beating and kicking him. That went on for a few minutes, Sakura watched in horror as little Naruto's jaw was broken and his body began to be covered with bruise and cuts.
"Stop!" yelled a younger version of a woman that Sakura works with at the hospital "The Hokage has ordered that he is to live, so go home."
"You know that he is the demon he needs to die." Yelled the man who though the kunai into Naruto's leg.
"GO HOME NOW!" yelled the ninja as the crowed began to disperse but not before giving Naruto a kick or two to his rips as a going away present.
"Thank God someone came to help." said Sakura as she watched Naruto slowly stand up holding his ribs with one hand as the other was badly broken.
"Thank you" said Naruto as he smiled at the woman. Suddenly Naruto got slapped hard across this face sending him flying into the nearby wall. Sakura started in ah at the younger version at her coworker. She was always so kind always so caring to children now Sakura was watching as she turned away from a child, who needs medical help.
"Never talk to me again you demon filthy, I should have let that mood kill you." said her coworker before she walked away from Naruto as his blood stained the wall and as it started raining.
Now Sakura was in tears "Why, Why would they do that to him, he was just a kid?"
"Because of me Naruto had to stand beatings like this almost daily until he became a ninja six years later." said the fox as Sakura eyes wide she could hardly deal looking at it once but everyday for six years that was unimaginable.
"Didn't anyone show him any kindness as he grew up?" asked Sakura hoping that Naruto had some good memory's
"Before Naruto went to the alchemy, their was only one person who ever showed him any form of kindness." Said the Kyuubi as the image changed to a sunning day in one of the many parks around the village. There a seven year old Naruto sat under a tree watching the kids play. Suddenly a little girl wearing a hat walked up to him.
"Hello, do you want to play a game?" asked the girl as Naruto looked at her.
"Sure I am Naruto Uzimaki." said Naruto as he held out his hand the girl took it..
"Hello I am Sakura Huruno" said the little girl as Older Sakura eyes widened the little girl was her. The hat must mean it was time that she was still embarrassed about her pink hair. "I like your hair it is the same as my friend Ino's"
"How come you wear a hat Sakura" asked Naruto as younger Sakura gripped onto her hat.
"My hair is horrible so I hid it." Said little Sakura
"Let me see it please." Said Naruto as younger Sakura slowly took off her hat to show her pink hair. "Your hair looks great. It goes great with your eyes."
"You think so?" asked Sakura as Naruto nodded.
"Sakura where are you?" yelled a voice that Sakura remembered as her mother. Suddenly her mother appeared next to younger Sakura the moment she saw Naruto she kicked him hard into the tree.
"Mom what are you doing?" yelled little Sakura as she ran to Naruto's side "Are you ok Naruto?"
"Sakura get back here now!" yelled Sakura's mother however younger Sakura didn't move until her mother ripped her away from Naruto's side. Then the image went black.
"Sakura you where the first person to show Naruto any form of kindness on that day he started to fall in love with you Sakura." said Kyuubi as the room turned black "Now you know some of the things Naruto went through as a kid. If you had not come around it is likely that kit would have become like Gara a mindless killing machine." Suddenly Sakura found herself back in Naruto's house. Without even thinking she launched on to him and started crying
"Naruto I am so sorry, I didn't know." Walled Sakura into Naruto's chest as Naruto's finger laced though her hair.
"It's ok Sakura-chan, I don't have to deal with those things anymore." whispered Naruto into Sakura's ear. However suddenly Naruto stopped what he was doing.
"What is it?" asked Sakura as both she and Kyuubi looked up at him.
"I can smell smoke and hear rumbling." said Naruto as he ran toward the door with Sakura and Kyuubi behind them. Naruto looked out toward the village to see three giant grey snakes rampaging through the village. Each of the snakes had the sound sign on their heads. The village was under another surprise attack by the sound village.
"Sakura we have to move" said Naruto as he walked back into his house and grabbed his gear and Kyuubi disappeared in a puff of fire.
"I know Naruto responded Sakura as she two grabbed her gear "No Juno you stay hear" the little fox pup looked on sadly as her master left to join Naruto by the exit.
"You ready?" asked Naruto
"Yes but it will take some time to get across the entire village." Said Sakura
"No it won't Sakura hug me and hold on tight." Said Naruto as Sakura gave him a look "Just trust me." Slowly Sakura did what she was told. A second later Sakura felt her feet leave the ground as air rushed past her as soon as it stopped she found herself in front of the hospital clear across town.
"How did we get her so fast?" asked Sakura as she let go of Naruto
"My family's justu" said Naruto "Sorry Sakura but I have to go." Without even thinking Sakura kissed Naruto on the check.
"Just come back, alive and in one peace." Said Sakura as she walked away leaving a stunned Naruto standing there rubbing his check with a smile on his face before disappearing in a flash of yellow light.
