Chapter 1

It was a cold night in Konoha. Most families should be at home sleeping or at a bar, but that wasnt the case for Naru (Ria) Namikaze. She was running for her life, her crimson hair flowing in the wind as she ran from the mob chasing her.

'I need to shake them.' Ria thought as she dipped into an ally and soon hit a dead end. "Shit." She said as she turned and at the entrance to the ally was the mob. Her ocean blue aeyes narrowed as the mob stared her down with weapons in hand, even some low rank ninja were among the group.

"You cant get away now you demon bitch." A pink haired woman yelled and Ria recognized her as Mebuki Haruno from the civilian council. "Get her." Mebuki said and Ria cowered into the back of the ally as two ninja ran towards her and grabbed her arms before holding them to her side.

"Get ready for your pain." The ninja to her left said as a kunai was stabbed into her shoulder making her scream. "Oh shut up, this is only the beginning." Oh how right they were unfortunately.

For hours and hours Ria was tortured. Blood flowed down her slender body and pooled beneath her as she layed there unmoving, staring at the sky. 'Why her?' She questioned as another wave of pain sparked through her body. 'What have i done to them?' She thought as she heard a voice in her head.

"Why do you stay here when all they do is hurt you?" The voice asked and Ria just frowned before she stsrted speaking. "Its all i know." She said simply as she heard the voice scoff. "This isnt living! This is GIVING UP!" The voice yelled and she nodded her head. "Maybe, but if i give up, i survive." She said and she could feel the sadness in the voice. "If all you can do here is survive, then why not go find a new home? Somewhere where your loved? Where you arent surviving, but thriving?" The voice asked.

"Where would i go? I want to be a shinobi." Ria asked and the voice spoke again. "Go to another village or go rogue." The coice said simply. "Maybe." Ria muttered as she pulled off her tattered shirt so all she was left with a bandaged chest and began walking through the cold streets of the village.

When Ria got to the large stone gate's of the Namikaze compound she pushed open the steel gate that lead the the front yard and walked right in the front door to see her parents and siblings on the couch.

"Where have you been young lady?! And where are your clothes! You look like a whore!" Kushina yelled at Naru. "Actually i dont care! Get your worthless ass to your room!" She screamed as Ria began walking towards the stairs until she heard her father. "Take a shower too, youre stinking up the house then meet me in my study." He said as Menma and Narumi starting laughing at her.

"Yeah Naru, your making the house smell." Menma said as he clutched his stomach and starting laughing again as his dark blonde hair fell over his navy blue eyes.

"You have anything to add? And dont call me by thaf worthless name Menma." Ria said as she looked at Narumi. "Youre name isnt worthless, but you are." Narumi said as she pulled at her golden locks and her blue eyes were alit with mischief as she got laughs out of the rest of the family. Without a word Ria walked up the wooden stairs into the hallway where the bathroom was and removed the bandages from her torso and threw away the clothes she had been wearing.

On her skin were so many scars it was heart wrenching, especially for only being seven years of age. The largest scar ran across her stomach where a man had used a bread knife to destroy the skin leaving jagged cuts atound it. Another cut had the word 'demon' carved into her back. Even with all the scars present to see on her body she was always called a liar by her parents when she used to say she was attacked.

To Ria, her scars show what she has survived, what fights she has won, and what would help her overcome challenges in the future. When she stepped into the scalding hot shower she instantly felt her body relax as the water trailed down her small frame and began washing the new wounds out with with the disinfectant soap she had stolen from her mothers medical drawer. She then washed the blood out of her hair and stepped out of the shower to dry off.

After drying off Ria walked back into her room which could only be described as staring at a baren. She had a wooden bed with an old decaying matress that was so bad she ended up sleeping on the floor most nights. The bed hsd no sheets or blankets so she was always freezing come nighttime, luckily Ria lived the cold.

In the corner of the room was a small desk and chair that held her selfcare bag. Inside the bag was her toothbrush, toothpaste, and a comb. The closet only had three sets of the same cheap and dirty outfit which consisted of a yellow shirt and black biker shorts.

After she put on the clothes she walked out of her room and down the hall into her fathers study and saw him sitting at his chair with a cross expression on his face. "So why were you home so late?" He asked and just as Ria was about to speak Minato spoke once again. "Dont lie to me daughter." He said and Ria scowled. "Dont try and ask like you care about me or what happens to me. Just ask what you want Minato." Ria said making Minato frown.

"Why cant you just behave like your siblings?" Minato asked and Ria just shook her head and Minato gave her a calculating gaze. "You want me you behave? Thats all ive done my entire life is sit here and be a punching bag, so dont tell me to behave." Ria said and tried to walk away but Minato reached out and grabbed her hand.

"You will not walk away and you will stop lying to me! The villagers dont hurt you and all you do is go against us!" Minato yelled as he slapped Ria's face as she tumbled to the ground. "Now you are going to stop lying to me and tell me what actually happens or your going to your room tonight." Minato said in his kage voice and Ria glared at him. "We. Are. Done. Here. Nothing i ever say will convince you of the truce you are too blind to see." Ria said coldly as she stood up and waked back to her room.

"Who are you?" Ria asked aloud hoping the voice would respond and after a few minutes of nothing, she was about to give up on hearing his voice until she heard it. "What do you need?" The voice asked and Ria smiled. "Can we talk about maybe leaving?" She asked. "Sure. What do you want my opinion on?" The voice asked.

"Who are you really?" Ria asked. "Are you the kyubi? Or someone else?" She asked and she could feel the smirk from the voice. "Smart girl. Yes. Infact i am the kyubi, you may call me Kurama." The fox spoke and Ria smiled. "Then where would you go? If you wanted to leave this village that is?" She asked and waited until Kurama spoke. "Kumo or Kiri is where i would go." He said and Ria smiled.

"Thats what i was thinking." Ria said as the fatigue of Kurama's healing and talks with her 'family' started to catch up with the readheaded girl as she quickly dozed offon the hard wooden floor of her bedroom. 'Sleep well Ria.' Kurama thought as he watched the girl fall jnto blissful sleep.

Next day

When Ria woke at an early 5:30 am, she decided to get out of the house and away from her family so she didnt have to see them being all happy. 'Why could they see all she wanted was to be part of that happy family?'

"Because humans are abysmal creatures. They all preach peace and live but theh neglect what truly matters." Kurama said and Ria couldnt agree more as she walked down the stairs and was almost at the door when she heard the loud telltale sounds of someone coming down the stairs and she quietly shut the door so no one knew she left.

When she got out of the Namikaze compound she walked towards the forest where she always went to grab some berries and kill a small bird or rabbit for breakfast. It took a little while but after not finding any birds or rabbits Ria decided on going to a small creek she knew wasnt too far from where she was to get breakfast.

After about forty mintues of walking, Ria a small creek and got arrived at a small creek. She then slowly walked into the creek as to not scare off the fish. After aboht twent mintues Ria had two smoker fish on a stick and some wild blackberries that tasted delectable with the smokey flavor the fire had given her fish.

"That wasnt enough for someone as malnourished as you." Kurama said and Ria shook her head. "No. Its just enough." Ria said as she walked back toward her family's training ground that sat in the back yard where she found her family training. Minato and Jiraiya were training Menma in the rasengan while Kushina and Tsunade were training with Narumi in strength and chakra control.

That hurt Ria as she stared at her siblings who had bright smiles on their faces as they were praised by their work, but its what she heard next made her heart ache.

"Happy birthday!" She heard the four adults say to Menma and Narumi as they handed the two kids scrolls. "What are those Kurama?" Ria sksed hoping they werent what she thought they were. "Sadly they are exactly what you think they are." Kurama said sadly and Ria felt the damn of tears that she had been holding for years spill. Two words and the act of watching a gift be given shattered her heart. "Go and clear your head. There is no place in this village for someone as lovely as you." Kurama said as he watched through his hosts eyes as Ria smiled and wished she could just have Kurama stay with her in the real world.

She decided to walk through the marketplace district of the village and had seemingly gone unnoticed until out of the blind spit in her vision an apple hit her in the side of the head.

"Its the demon! Get her!" A stall owner yelled as Ria began running away as she was pelted by fruits, vegetables, shoes, and eventually a kunai to her recently healed shoulder from the night before and she ripped it out as she held back a scream. After Ria removed the kunai she dropped it on the ground and ran out of the marketplace towards her home.

When she got home she saw Jiraiya, Tsunade, her parents, and siblings sitting at a table. "Hello Naru. What brings you here?" Jiraiya asked and Ria just glared. "Im here to ask for training." She asked and Kushina stood from her seat and looked at her daughter.

"YOU UNGRATEFUL CHILD! Your siblings are the host of the kyubi's chakra so they need training! All you've ever done is lie and lie and we are sick of it! Dont come out of your room until we allow you!" Kushina screamed at Ria and that moment Ria learned something from that conversation. This wasnt her family. This wasnt her home. This wasnt living.
