The world of ninja is a fickle one, filled with political machinations and too much backstabbing to be considered an accident. So what happens when one ninja village decides to place the safety and happiness of its youngest recruits over the general safety of the people they serve? You get a village with two demons, taught to kill, and the only thing holding them back is humanity.

Naruto's spirit is broken at a young age. Now he must rebuild himself, and with the help of Kyuubi and some others, he will do that. His goal? To become the greatest ninja in the world. All reviews welcome.

Naruto's hyperactive happiness is a mask, but what does it hide? His sadness and loneliness or his hatred and anger? The Kyuubi hasn't been a foreign concept to Naruto for a long time now, but a demonic link must be hidden at all cost, but for how long?

During his fight with Haku, Naruto tapped into Kyuubi's chakra. Here he did something more. Starts on the day after the fight and goes from there. Will be NaruHina eventually.
