Today was going well for almost everyone in the city known as Konoha. Yeah there where the occasional Robbings and bullying around the city,but right now...there was one boy going through what few people have gone through. Living as an unwanted unloved untrusted six year old boy. He heard the whispers behind his back. He wanted to know why,but never got an answer. Instead he got beaten and under fed. Once even left for dead.

He only had one friend in his entire life,the one friend he couldn't do without...his cat. Sadly though,the cat was old and fragile. He tried as hard as possible to give out another year,but no matter what he did he couldn't beat the sickness. The cat wished the boy the best of luck for being there for him. Sadly though,the boy couldn't understand the cat and wept the rest of the night. The next day wasn't any better.

-In the Playground behind the orphanage-

"Look at that kid". "I know right?". "I heard he was a demon". "But why does he look like the Fourth?". "I don't know,but I know one thing,he's not gonna be around the other kids."

Naruto looked at the group of 'caretakers'. He was sad at what he heard. Why did everyone think of him as a demon? Did he do something wrong that he didn't know of? Why? WHY? WHY?!

"Hey,here's you lunch" one said. She threw him old bread that clearly had mold on it.

He particularly hated that specific caretaker. She was the worst. At night she would take him to a secret room and beat him till he passed out. She would feed him moldy and unhealthy food. She even told the rest of the kids to be mean to him or avoid him.

He hated her. He hated her. He wanted to kill her.

Was he really a monster?

Several kids walked up to him with grins on their faces.

"What's the matter kid?" The one in the front asked. Naruto just glared at him

"Leave me alone". "Oh look at him,he's telling us what to do. I wouldn't even listen to you if my life depended on it" the kid said. Oh how Naruto wished he could show him...he would be begging Naruto for mercy. He would kill him. There would be no mercy. Never...ever...SHOW THEM MERCY!

He stopped that train of thought before it could take hold. He really was a monster wasn't he?

He got up and ran to the orphanage,tears streaming out of his eyes. 'Im gonna... I'm gonna prank them so hard they'll...' He thought. He didn't even know what he really wanted anymore.

"Where you going?" The boy asked,he tried getting Naruto but he tripped on his own feet bringing him and his crew down giving Naruto a perfect running chance.

He wiped the tears out of his eyes and ran out the front. 'I can't let them be right' was his thought. He accidentally ran into a tall man on his way out. He cursed under his breath. He looked up. The man had a look of murder in his eyes. He got up and ran before the man could catch him. The murderous man was now extremely pissed.

"Someone get that demon brat!" He pushed his legs harder than he ever had before. They weren't getting him today. People on the street noticed him running and instantly gave pursuit. His heart was racing from the constant dodging and jumping and weaving through the city with the enter civilian population chasing after him.

There was only one place to go in this type of situation.

The Forest of Death.

No one knew he went in this place multiple times throughout his life. He on a few occasions found dead bodies with weapons and such on them and in them. He saw some with body parts ripped off. One girl had her eyes ripped out as well as her clothes being almost nonexistent. It was a horrible sight.

He knew the civilians wouldn't want to deal with stuff like that. She had weapons sticking out of her body as well as scorch marks. He took the weapons after removing the 'lunch' he had in his stomach. He practiced with those weapons to the fullest of his extent. He knew if he was to fight a chunin in a full on battle he might not win but hey,at least he tried.

One person tried throwing a rock a the boy,he saw it coming and easily avoided it. Another threw a shoe,he honestly was confused. Why throw your shoe? He knew from experience that running on concrete or hard ground in general hurt like hell. (An: it really does) He pushed harder with each stomp.

If anyone would pay attention they would've saw that each step he took slightly caused cracks in the earth. He saw the forest not to far ahead. He was going to make it back,no matter the circumstances.

"What...do...you...want...from me?!" The boy screamed between breaths.

"You're caused us so much pain...you kill my wife! You stole her from me! WE COULDVE LIVED HAPPILY TOGETHER! BUT YOU TOOK HER FROM ME! JUST DIE YOU DEMON!Someone screamed,just then,a spear flew at him faster than he could avoid it. He had one choice...take the hit and keep going. He did exactly that.

The spear grazed his side side causing immense pain in his system. Of course with all this adrenaline he couldn't feel it. Plus it was already healing at an accelerated rate. Of course he didn't know why,but he was glad he had that healing factor.

"I never did anything to you" he said mostly to himself. He noticed the crowds chasing him had lessened meaning they were tired,others kept on chasing him that is,until they saw where he was going.

"We'll get you next time Monster!". "Yeah we'll end you like the Hokage should've!". "This won't be forgotten boy!"

Those people later that day mysteriously vanished from the face of the earth never to be seen again. Only a select few people knew where they went. They took a LONG trip outta town.

Naruto on the other hand just kept running.

He didn't stop for anything as he knew,if they had a chance at getting him,they'll take it. He jumped on the first tree he came into contact with and started jumping from tree to tree. He didn't look back once. He went to the northern side of the forest until he came to a clearing. The said clearing had a small hut in it as well as a single gravestone,a small natural pool,and a garden. He went inside the hut and gave a sigh of relief.

An attempt at a Naruto/Abuse fic. Yeah i know i know. It's shit but i was constantly being reminded of my own childhood. I kinda just ended it how I wish I could end my own suffering. Somewhere away from them.
