Chapter 2: Searching begins
"What happened here?!" Hatake Kakashi yelled from the entrance to the bedroom.
Everyone looks at the Jounin sensei as he slowly begins to walk near the pool of blood. Kakashi looks in horror as he sees all the blood. He slowly walks back as looks out the window. "Tenzo, I know you're there." Suddenly an Anbu member appeared. The man wore a cat mask, along with a sleeveless black turtleneck, black bicep long gloves, black ninja pants with a vest and arm protectors.
"What is it Kakashi?" The Anbu member asked.
"Go tell Hokage-sama to please come to Naruto's apartment. It's urgent!" Kakashi ordered the young Anbu member. As soon as Kakashi finished his sentence, the Anbu member disappeared using the shunshin. The group just continued to stare at the blonde boy's apartment.
"Kakashi-sensei, what do you think happened?" Sakura finally said, breaking the silence in the room.
"I suspect that Naruto might have been attacked and kidnapped." Kakashi said as he looked at the nasty words written on his student's walls. "This isn't the first time he has been attacked." The young ninjas looked at the silver haired Jounin with confusion.
"It's no surprise that this happens today of all days." Kakashi touched the blonde boy's team photo. "I'm sorry Minato-sensei, I couldn't protect him." Kakashi thought to himself. Sakura looked around and finally decided to ask.
"What do you mean, today of all days?" The pink-haired kunoichi asked. Kakashi looked at his students as he sighed
"I wish you five or any of the other genin ever found out. Today is Naruto's birthday." All the Genin looked at eachother.
"It's Naruto's birthday today? Why didn't he tell us? Why didn't he tell me and Choji?" Shikamaru burst out. Since the Chunin exams both him and Naruto have gotten Close. Shikamaru regretted not being his friend back in the Academy.
"He knew all of our birthdays and made sure to use the little amount of money he had to get everyone presents, yet we could or didn't have the thought of asking for his." he said as everyone hung their heads in shame.
Tsunade watches them with a small smile on their face. She calls out for her Anbu guards. As two Anbu agents appear she orders them to call Might Guy, Asuma, and Kurenai along with their team to her office tomorrow at seven o'clock. Also inform Iruka, Jiraiya and Anko to appear as well." The Anbu agents bow as they disappear.
"Everyone here needs to stay quiet about Naruto's disappearance. This is now an S-class mission. Everyone will return home and report tomorrow. Kakashi, you stay here and look for clues." Tsuande then turns as she leaves to return to her office
Somewhere far away from Konoha, at the edge of the Fire Nation
A small shack resides in the middle of the forest. A loud, horrific scream is heard from the shack. Outside the shack are two men standing guard as the screaming continues in the building. Inside the shack stands four men with knives in their hands. They all surround a bloody faced Naruto. Naruto looks up and watches one of the men step forward and untie one of his arms. He then proceeds to punch Naruto repeatedly in the face. Naruto's left eye begins to swell up from the punches. Finally the man gives one good kick to Naruto's gut. Naruto begins to cough up blood as he looks up once more.
"Why don't you fight back! Or atleast beg for your life, you demon!" Yelled the man in the middle.
"I refuse to beg. Just let me die, this life isn't worth it anymore." whispers Naruto as he looks down.
The man smiles and crouches down and whispers "Killing you now is just no fun, we are going to enjoy our time together. What comes next is on you, demon brat." The man then grabs Naruto's hand and grabs his knife. He then proceeds to cut off three of Naruto's fingers.
"ARGHHHHHHHHH!" Naruto screams in pain as he loses his fingers. The men all begin to laugh at Naruto's pain.
Inside Naruto's seal
"Kit, you've got to hold on. I'll heal you as fast as I can." the demon fox yells as he looks down to Naruto's spirit
"I can't do this anymore." Whispers Naruto.
Kyuubi looks at his container "I'm sorry for everything kit. You're going through this because you've got me inside."
"No it's not your fault Kyuubi. Hopefully they kill me soon so I can end this nightmare of a life I have." Naruto says as he looks at Kyuubi. His blue eyes show no sign of life as he closes them.
"Kit, I know that this is hard but you have to hold on till help arrives." Kyuubi says as he reaches for his container.
"No one is coming. I don't even think they notice that I'm gone. Their lives are better without me." Naruto whispers those words as he closes his eyes once more.
