It was the first day of school and Naruto was very excited. He couldn't even sleep and was practically hyperventilating, thus causing Nami to not get that much sleep.
After it was time to get up, Naruto nearly shot out of bed and raced over to his closet. Putting on some of his new clothes he had bought a few weeks ago, he went over to the kitchen.
He was making his breakfast when he turned around to meet Nami, only she wasn't her normal smiling cheery self, she was VERY upset. In her hand was one of the frying pans that had come with the room. Trying to defuse the situation, he asked how she was.
"Great, just GREAT…."
"Uh that's good I guess…."
Nami suddenly raised the frying pan and Naruto shrieked.
10 minutes later, a very tired Nami went back to sleep; Glad that the apartment would be quiet for a long time.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
After he got up from his assault from Nami, he had slunk back to the kitchen and made his lunch, 2 pork ramen cups, 2 miso ramen cups, an apple, and a shrimp ramen cup. Of course the apple wasn't his idea, but he had been forced to take it. He had already taken a shower and brushed his teeth, today was his chance to meet all new friends. He packed his backpack with the necessary books and scrolls and set out the door.
Soon he was at the school, and it was huge. Apparently, they had converted one of the original forts that made up the defense of Konoha into a school. There were several towers jutting into the sky and numerous children were running around. He decided to step inside and see where his classroom was. He looked up at the lady behind the desk who was smiling at all the parents passing by.
"Ano, where is Iruka-san's room?"
All she could see was spiky blonde hair in front of her desk, as he wasn't that tall. Unable to see his face, she treated him like every other child.
"Hello, Iruka's room is just down this hall, number 246. Hope you have a great first day!"
"Arigato miss"
With that he walked off to his classroom. As he was walking by he looked into some of the neighboring class rooms. He saw one that looked like it was made of older children, and he saw that mean girl form the orphanage there, the one who stole his kunai. He pulled himself form the window quickly and accidentally walked into a stoic Neji.
Sneering he looked at the trembling blonde, then jukened him in the stomach. Doubling over in pain Neji chuckled
"How weak, you should go home before you get hurt."
Crying at his cruel words, he got up and started running towards his own classroom, Neji watching the blonde run away,
"That's right run away, pathetic coward"
Trying to stop the tears from flowing he closed the door to his own room, and looked up at the seats and saw there were a lot of kids. Only thing was that they were all glaring at him, with the exception of the Hyuuga, but with a room full of hatred, who's going to notice a weak smile.
Kiba was the first to notice the blonde
'How dare he come here, me and Akamaru will show him'
Ino and Sakura were next
'Oh no, it the flower shop thief!'
'WHAT HOW DARE THE TEME COME HERE, ILL BEAT HIS ASS CHA'
The rest off the students then found out who it was, and all of their parents had told them the 'story' of the little boy, how he was a murderer, rapist, thief, S-class criminal…the list went on and on.
A very loud buzzing had every look at Shino, who was covered in a swarm of his insects. Suddenly the black cloud zoomed at the blonde, as he tried to get away, but it was in vain.
He felt the thousands of bugs bite into his skin, and tear it apart. The other children got into the act, a white puppy tore into his right arm and he screamed out in pain. Trying to run away, he found he couldn't, and that a pineapple haired boy was sitting their, and they were connected by some black thing on the ground.
The story his father had told him cycled though his head as Shikamaru watched the boy get beaten to a pulp. He had told him how the boy would sneak into the deer ranch and poison some of the deer so they couldn't grow any of the antlers for medicines. The real thing was that the deer he was talking about were does. Of course Shikamaru was far from stupid he knew this, and often wondered why his father would so blatantly lie to him like that. But Shikamaru could careless, besides, going against a mob is so troublesome, going with the flow makes everything so much easier.
A rather tubby boy was still munching on chips when he finally remembered what his father had told him, how the boy would sneak into the Akimichi residence and steal all the food in the fridge and pantry. This was actually Choza's midnight snacks, but that was beside the point. All of the children (except Hinata and Shikamaru) had been brainwashed into believing he was the face of evil.
Suddenly the crowd parted and Sasuke came though. He began making hand signs and sucked in air.
"Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu"
Exhaling a massive fireball, Naruto tried to dodge, but Shikamaru was still holding his shadow. He could only watch as the fireball came closer and closer, the voice in his head laughing at his misfortune once again. When it first hit, it wasn't too bad, it was just really hot, but that's when it began to melt the top layers of his skin. Closing his eyes he felt the heat pass by, causing a huge scorch mark on the wall behind him. He was severally burned and the sleeves of his shirt were burned off. Of course Sasuke didn't actually want to kill him, just burn him.
"Heh and you are trying to be a ninja? You're useless."
Ino and Sakura and the rest of the Sasuke fan club cheered him on and dog piled him (Sasuke), so he couldn't escape. Soon they had all pulled out flowers and chocolates, some had written him cards and hugged him, everyone sweatdropped at the display.
Everyone remembered the hated blonde and resumed their attacks. The swarm of bugs attacked and surrounded the poor boy. Shikamaru was starting to doubt that he was the infamous killer when he saw the poor boy beg for them to stop, causing them to hurt him further.
Suddenly Mizuki entered the room, and all the children quieted down. Looking down at the bleeding boy he bent down and checked his wounds.
"I'm very disappointed in all of you…" Naruto felt a glimmer of hope that the man would help him when, "that you didn't kill him, scum like him deserves to die. Regardless, whoever participated in the attack please raise your hand."
Almost all of the 20 children raised their hand and Mizuki grinned, "Good, you all get extra credit!"
Naruto hated school.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Naruto rose up and looked at the clock, he had an hour before he had to go to school, and oh how he hated that word. Everyone hated him and would beat him after class, and sometimes Mizuki-sensei would participate.
Of course, he had tried to tell the Hokage, but Mizuki had stopped him and threatened that if he tried to tell again, he would kill him in a very painful way.
Sighing, he got up and took a shower. After he was done he got dressed and packed a few instant cups of ramen. He walked out to the school building. As he neared it, he saw the parent leaving their children and giving them hugs and saying how much they loved each other.
Keeping back tears he trudged on, and when the parents noticed him, they sent him glares and stood in front of their children protectively. And when their parents gave him glares, the children followed suit, one child even threw a shuriken that imbedded itself in his shoulder. Knowing it was in his best interest not to fight back, as it would only bring more trouble and with their parents here…
So all he could do was keep walking as various children spat in his direction and flung rocks and weapons at him.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
After he finally made it too the classroom, the teacher sneered at him, the scar-faced one giving him back his quiz from yesterday. Apparently he got a zero but he had studied all night long. He was sure that he had gotten at least one right. Looking again at the answer he put he noticed that the writing wasn't his own. Someone had erased his answers and written their own on his quiz. Opening his mouth to speak, but he closed it and shrank in fear to his desk when he saw the glare that Mizuki-sensei gave him.
He sighed and resumed taking notes on tactics when suddenly a small square of paper landed on his desk. Iruka turned around to see Naruto holding up what looked like a note. Grinning maliciously, he strode up to the boys desk and snatched the note out of the boy's hand.
"What's this, a note?"
Opening the square Kiba and some of the other children snickered. Inside was a drawing of Iruka and the words, 'Iruka is so stupid, I hope he shuts up about this stupid chakra stuff.' At the bottom was a chibi Naruto, fingers making 'peace.'
His eye twitching, he glared at the small blonde. Trembling, said boy was trying to protest, saying that the note had been flung on his desk Iruka ground his teeth and screamed "DETENTION YOU BRAT!" Hanging his head Naruto resumed taking notes, while all the other children snickered and laughed at their classmate's misfortune.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Finally the bell rang, and as Naruto was turning to leave, his arm was grabbed by a sneering Mizuki.
"You didn't forget your detention did you gaki?"
Sighing he sat back down and waited for what this sensei would tell him to do.
Mizuki was trying to think up a fitting punishment, but he was having no such luck. Then a masterful idea sprang up in his mind.
"Naruto, as punishment for passing notes in class…" "But I…" "SHUT UP, anyway, as punishment, you are to…deface the hokage monument."
"BUT SENSEI…"
"I THOUHT I SAID TO SHUT UP! Anyway, the paint and everything you need will be inside that closet" gesturing with his thumb he continued "and don't worry, the Hokage himself asked me to tell you to do it."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive, now hurry up, while you are doing that, I'll be grading papers, you can leave when you are finished."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Excited, Naruto raced up and began making his master piece. Using so many buckets of paint that Mizuki finally had to stop giving it to him, he continued to work with whatever materials he could, using sheets and other objects he stole form people houses, but his sensei told him it was okay.
Finally he was done and stood back and admired his handiwork. Mizuki disappeared a while ago, and he was waited for his teacher to get back.
Suddenly several smoke clouds burst into existence behind him. Turning around he saw his teacher along with the Hokage and several ANBU captains. Everyone but Mizuki stared at the monument, how could the boy do this, it was practically treason!
"Hokage-sama, I noticed what the boy was doing and immediately rushed to get you, but I guess it was too late…"
"Why did you not take care of this yourself Mizuki-san?"
"Because I didn't want to get in trouble with the law, seeing as you have all kinds of them protecting the dem…boy."
"Naruto, you did this correct?"
"Ano, hai Oji-san."
"See Hokage–sama, he admits to treason, he is to be executed by Shinobi law!"
"O-oji-san…I didn't know this was treason…"
"Mizuki, did you by any chance tell the boy to do this?"
"H-hokage-sama, how could you think I told him to do this, I am a Shinobi of the leaf, I am completely against treason."
"I see, perhaps you underestimate my abilities in seeing everything that goes on here in Konoha. Kakashi-san, please take this traitor away and out of my sight."
Kakashi started towards the terribly frightened young boy when the old man coughed.
"The other traitor Kakashi-san"
"w-what H-hokage–sama…" Mizuki stammered. The Hokage gave him a glare that shut him up quickly. Kakashi stared at the Hokage, how was this noble hero a traitor? Still, the Hokage's word was law.
"I'm sorry Mizuki-san" Taking the true traitor away the Anbu and Kakashi disappeared in smoke, Naruto and the old man were left alone.
The old man began to cry as he looked at Naruto, why, why did the villagers have to hate the innocent boy.
"It's okay Oji-san…"
"No, its not Naruto….I'm so sorry for setting you up for this… if I hadn't signed you up.."
"But I'm learning so much Oji-san! School beats sitting around all day doing nothing, I'm learning how to be a real ninja Oji-san!"
"Of course you are Naruto, of course you are."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Naruto yawned as he woke up again and groaned when he saw what time it was…he was going to be late to school again. Oh wait, today was Saturday!
He raced over to Nami's bed and proceeded to wake her up. She wouldn't get up with conventional tactics, so the young boy hatched a great idea. He raced over to the kitchen and got out a glass. Filling it up with ice cold water he accidentally added some ice cubes, but he was sure it wouldn't matter. He was careful not to spill any as he brought the glass over her head.
A grin similar to Mizuki's adorned his face as he dropped the glasses contents on her head. She sprang up immediately screaming about the cold. Unfortunately some of the ice had slipped down her night gown, and she was starting to pound the crap out of the blonde, screaming things six year olds shouldn't know.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Several hours later, a black and blue Naruto was traveling along side a very happy Nami, who was skipping. Beating Naruto was a great stress reliever, and it was fun. As they neared the Hokage tower, they saw a few ANBU walk out, who were talking about how the Hokage was leaving on a special mission.
Hearing this, the children raced up the stairs and burst into the old mans door. Looking up from his paper work, he was happy to see the children begin panicking that the Hokage was leaving.
"Oji-san, Oji-san, if you leave whose going to watch over the village or…or…or…"
"Protect you?" Naruto bowed his head, embarrassed to show he was vulnerable without the Hokage.
The old man sighed, he just HAD to take the position of Hokage a second time, he could be relaxing out in a retirement home in beach country, but no, he just loved his village so much that he took the job, now he was listening to two children crying bout how they were going to miss him.
What's more he knew that the second he was out of the gates, the poor boy would be lynched. He shuddered when he thought about all the things the villagers would do to the boy, especially the ninjas…
"Well Naruto, I was thinking of letting both of you come with me…"
"REALLY, ARIGATO OJI-SAN!"
"Arigato, but where are you going?"
"We are heading off to the village hidden in the plains. It's an agricultural village that supplies food to almost all the other villages. It had no military and is neutral in war, except for now. They have aligned themselves with Cloud for no apparent reason, so I and a few of the other Kages will travel there to find out why."
"That's sounds awesome Oji-san, we actually get to leave the village!"
"Yes, now we are leaving tomorrow morning, so I expect you two to get some sleep. We will be meeting at the north gate."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The next day a very tired Nami and an ecstatic Naruto were walking down a barren road towards one of the gates. When the old man said in the morning, they had thought he meant later, not at 2. What's worse was a certain blonde was far too hyper to go to sleep, and had to keep reminding his sister every five minutes.
So the children waited at the gate, and eventually they decided to play a few games. Playing tag, they raced around the gate, laughing the whole time and having fun.
Eventually the Hokage and his escort of ANBU arrived. When the Anbu saw their 2 younger companions, they began grilling the Hokage for answers,
"Sir, why are the…boy and the girl coming with us, they will only slow us down!'
"They are coming with us because I said so."
"Demo, they are only children…"
"You want to know why they are coming, because I can't trust anyone in this damn village to make sure the boy is safe, and he would be killed the second I'm gone!"
One ANBU muttered under his breath, "It's not like that's so bad…"
A glare from the old man sent a shiver down his spine.
"Besides, I'm an old man now, I need to walk, not go speeding though trees at hundred of miles per hour, they wont be slowing us down."
"Hai Hokage-sama, but still, won't the elders from the other villages take offense to brining the demo…boy there?"
"All they know is that the demon is dead, and I intend it to stay that way."
"Hai, Hokage-sama"
"The boy also wishes to become Hokage one day, and what better way to learn that than up close and observe politics."
The ANBU sent glares towards the boy, he hoped to become Hokage? How could their leader be so blind and not see the demon was playing him for a fool, taking the form of a small boy was no different than a 10 story giant red fox. The ANBU captain sighed and stopped arguing.
The group signed in with the guards. They had to drink some special chemicals so the Hyuuga guard captain could check for them when they came back. The guards also had to draw chakra and stored it in vials. Each persons charka had its own unique signature, so when the group came back, they would be checked. The system helped deter any would be intruders.
After they were done, the group headed off for the Village Hidden in the Plains.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
As they were walking down the dusty road, Naruto ran up next to the old man, the ANBU tensed, the demon could make its move, and they only had 10 ninjas to defend the Hokage.
"Hey Oji-san, why would someone build a hidden village in the plains, wouldn't it be in plain sight?"
Impressed with the boy's question the old man replied, "Yes, but the leaders of the village put up powerful Genjutsu around it so only people they want to let in can come in."
"Oh, but why in the plains?"
"Because it's down river from the hidden waterfall village, the river creates very fertile land and many crops are grown there. Its helps supply country like wind and snow, which are incapable of producing their own food."
"But so then why isn't it allied with those countries?"
Again impressed with the boys thinking, the old man replied, "Because wind and snow are in two different alliances, and since if they are neutral, they have no enemies. Well they aren't exactly neutral, more like they have alliances with all the shinobi countries, that's why is unorthodox that the have created an official alliance with cloud."
"Oh, okay Oji-san."
The boy went back to looking at the passing country side, and the ANBU relaxed.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Soon they were on the same road, only they were coming back. It had been several weeks and it had been a blast. It had been the first time out of the village, and it was awesome! He got to look around the other village and even got to see some of the other Kages, there was even a boy his age there, but he was with the Kazekage and all of the Kazekage's guards looked sacred of him.
He had to leave when the Kages got ready to talk to the elders. Still, he and Nami had loads of fun looking around the shops, and what was even better was no one hated him! They vendors all smiled when he came in their shops and one guy even gave them free ice cream.
The Hokage had even bought a camera for them, so they could take pictures, which was fun. Near the end of their trip, the Konoha group went to the hot spring to relax, and when they got out a female ANBU complained about some white haired pervert, and the Hokage's eye twitched.
As they were walking back, the ANBU were having a silent conversation though hand signs while the Hokage was having a conversation with Nami and Naruto.
I didn't know the demon had a sister…
Neither did I, what should we do?
Well, if the demon truly does have a relative in the village, they must be bidding their time
What if they are breeding?
What if the girl was brainwashed or something?
The bitch, disguising herself as a little girl, we should warn the others
Incredible, the demon was able to keep her here in secret for so long...
Regardless, she is a threat to the village, and threats have to be eliminated
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Naruto had always tried to hide connection with Nami, as it was the only thing keeping her safe. It had been hidden for years, until now, the ANBU had watched as they had played tag and heard him call her his sister. Naruto had no idea that they knew, and resumed to ignoring Nami, barley even talking to her. He always had to tell her not to reveal the link or bad things might happen.
So as the 2 separated from the main group, they didn't notice a ninja following them.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Naruto pulled out his key and went inside. He was alone, as he and Nami had split up several blocks ago, and they would come to the hotel at different times. Naruto went to the fridge and pulled out some milk. He went over to the TV and waited for his sister. He hadn't noticed the ANBU watching him though the window.
An hour later Nami came in, carrying a few grocery bags. Naruto jumped off the couch and helped her lift them over to the kitchen. As he was putting the stuff away, he thought he saw movement over by the window, but when he looked out, nothing was there, 'hm must be a bird or something'
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Naruto and Nami got in their respective beds and were ready to go to sleep when they heard one of the windows shatter. Going over to inspect it they found several kunai stuck in the wall, only they had pieces of paper hanging off the loop.
Outside was a huge mob, some carrying farm told and some wielding kunai and other ninja weapons. Naruto's eyes widened and pushed Nami back inside the room, closing the door. A loud explosion was heard, but the door still stood.
The Hokage had come in and put special seals on all the doors so they would be explosion tag-proof, however the explosion was just a distraction, as villagers broke into one of the neighboring apartments (they were empty because no one wanted to live next to a demon)
The villagers and a few ninja stormed into the children's room, only to find the place empty. However, one man looked under the bed and found two children. A sick grin came on his face and he grabbed them by their arms roughly. The rest of the villagers grinned and some pulled out rope.
Struggling to get out of the man's grip he could only scream for help and for them to put Nami down. But no help came, and they only laughed. Soon they were both of them were tied to the beds, and then a villager carrying a tank of gasoline came in and started soaking the entire room with it, making extra sure both the children had it on them.
Before the villagers left, they left two tanks of gasoline next to them. Then a villager came in and lit a match, both children panicked as they watched it fall slow-mo and hit the ground. Instantly flames leapt up from ground and soon the whole apartment was on fire. They heard cheering outside and what sounded like a party.
Soon he could barely even see 2 feet in front of him, as all the smoke was blocking his sight. He tried to look over and see if Nami was okay, but he couldn't see. He tried shouting, but when he opened his mouth, it was stuffed with smoke. Coughing he tried to breathe but couldn't. The voice in his head was starting to take a fearful tone, swearing and curing human existence.
Suddenly the voice spoke to him,
Alright brat, I'm sure you want to save yourself right? Well then just relax…
The red light suddenly appeared around him, and he felt so ….strong, like one of those ninja he heard about. He easily ripped off the ropes and headed over to Nami; only to find out he couldn't see her in all the smoke. He finally found her and ripped off the ropes, she was barely conscious. She gave a weak smile, and then fainted from the extreme heat. He grabbed her then ran over to a window, but found the floor was completely bathed in flames. Then he remembered the gasoline tanks.
Desperate and knowing he was quickly running out of time, he made his decision. He tackle into the wall, finding it crumbling as he touched it, soon he was outside in the cool air, but it only lasted for a second. The gasoline tanks exploded and a huge fireball escaped from the hole they had just created. Freefalling, Naruto had completely forgotten the fact that they were on the 5th story, and soon found himself twisting around so he was on the bottom, even though the voice in his head was screaming to use the girl as a cushion.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
At the Hokage tower…
Sarutobi had just finished reading the new improved edition of Icha Icha and was currently wiping his nose to get rid of the blood. Tucking away the small book, he got up and went over to loom at the Yondaime's portrait. Sighing and rubbing his temples a sudden explosion rocked the tower.
Immediately 10 ANBU reported in, saying the explosion came from the eastern quadrant and that 2 teams were already dispatched. Waiting for orders they watched as the old man strode over to the window, looking out into the night sky. He saw the pillar of smoke rising form Naruto's apartment building.
He raised a hand and all the ANBU in the room disappeared in a puff of smoke, and he seconds later, after giving the fourth's portrait a depressing glance, he disappeared.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Eventually, after what seemed like hours, he hit the ground. It appeared as though Nami was still unharmed, and then the pain of the fall set in. He had broken nearly every bone in his body, and was covered in countless burns, and his skin was charred. He had also inhaled lots of smoke, so his lungs were burnt. Wheezing for breath he passed out, listening to the voice screaming at him and insulting his intelligence, how he could have killed them both.
After the apartment had been engulfed in flames, the crowd had split up and no one was in the streets. The ANBU were trying to put out the fire using Suiton techniques, but to no avail. The Hokage arrived and immediately began making hand signs
"Suiton: Daibakufu no Jutsu"
Using the massive blast of water, the Hokage was able to put out the fire, and soon ANBU investigated the cause. Bringing back several small pieces of red plastic, they assumed it was a gasoline-induced fire.
"Sir we still haven't found the bodies of the boy and the girl, it is assumed they perished in the fire…"
Sighing (he seems to do that a lot) he spoke, "Have you even been trying to locate him?"
The ANBU stayed silent, and that as all the old man needed, he disappeared and began to search for the boy.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Slowly opening his eyes, he looked up at the plain white ceiling. He began hearing the electronic beeps sounding like they were next to them, and he noticed how painful simply breathing was.
The Hokage was reading a scroll in his usual seat. Trying to speak up, he found that he couldn't, and desperately tied to get the old mans attention. Finally he coughed, which sent a huge surge of pain throughout his body. The old man looked up and noticed that the boy was finally conscious.
"Good morning Naruto"
"…" The poor boy was still reeling from his attempt at speaking, and had decided to remain silent.
"Now before you even attempt to ask, Nami is in the other bed in the room, that's what the beeps are. I would recommend not moving as much, so you can let yourself heal. You were in pretty bad shape when we picked you up, I'm glad we made it in time. We still haven't been able to locate the people who did this, frankly because no one is trying."
Thinking, he suddenly remembered something. He pulled out a bag from underneath his robes
"Your classmates wrote you some get-well cards, I haven't looked at them, I believe in privacy. I hope they cheer you up."
Naruto hadn't told him how they treated him in school, but he already knew what the cards would say. Tears already began welling up in his eyes.
"Here I'll hold them up for you to read…"
Opening the first card, Naruto scanned the contents and forced himself not to cry
-Dobe (because of his hated position in the class, Iruka never taught him anything, and he was always given Chunin-rank questions, causing him to fail)
Why couldn't you die and make everyone happy, I hope it's very painful.
-Sasuke
-Teme
I had hoped you died, but I guess we are that lucky…
-Kiba
The list went on and on. Trying to hold back his tears, he tried to speak again,
"Pl...Plea…se……..st…st…op…"
The old man stopped immediately a scolded the boy for speaking. Then he looked at one of the cards and his eyes widened, reading another one he started getting angrier and angrier. Finally, tears started going down his cheeks, dripping onto the floor.
"I'm…so sorry Naruto…" Sobbing the old man sat down back in his chair.
After he stopped crying he looked back up at the poor boy, only to find him asleep, surrounded by a faint red glow.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Several days later, Naruto was discharged, though Nami spent the night there for a few days until she was well enough to leave the hospital. It was the first day out of the hospital and she was in a wheelchair, smiling she told Naruto that she would like to go out for some fresh air and said that she was going to get him a present for saving her. So she went off by herself to go shopping.
Naruto resumed going back to school, 'failing' all of his classes. As he was leaving school, sporting a black eye and a small stream of blood trickling from his lip(courtesy from some of the older kids), he passed by some of the shops and decided to buy Nami some candy. He went up to the candy section and pulled out some of her favorites, then got out a few instant-cups of ramen for him. As he put the stuff on the counter the cashier sneered, and then spit on his face.
In response Naruto just grabbed the stuff and ran, a very angry cashier behind him. He managed to loose him in an alleyway; smirking to himself he patted himself on the back for getting back at the asshole
He decided to walk back home, and on the way he passed a huge crowd, they seemed to be cheering and laughing and pointing at something in the middle. Curious, Naruto crawled on all fours; going under peoples legs until he reached the middle, inside was a broken Nami. Her clothes ripped and torn, her arms bent back the wrong way and bleeding profusely. She had two black eyes and she was covered in bruises. The shattered remains of her wheelchair were next to her and her hair was wet with blood.
The Hokage suddenly appeared with a group if ninja, from Chunin to Jounin, and a few ANBU. He looked down with a remorseful face as he looked at the beaten body laying the middle of the mob. Naruto raced over and propped up her head, grabbing her frail hand in his. Tears began pooling in his eyes as she tried to speak, but only coughed up blood. Instead she gave him the faintest smile, and then her eyes closed. Her hand fell limp in his hand as his tears fell on her dead body. That's when he felt the locket fall out of her now dead hand…the present she had said she would get him…
Suddenly one of the villagers in the middle spit on her body, "Good riddance, demon whore"
"Finally the bitch dies…"
"Damn demons"
"Rot in hell demon bitch!"
"Demon whore"
Kicking her body and spiting the villager made their mark on her body, Naruto with wide eyes taking all this in, tears flowing down his cheeks.
"Damn demons, terrorizing our village"
"Heh, she was probably a innocent girl, until the monster brainwashed her"
"Yeah, you are right, it's all the damn demons fault! If it wasn't for him she might just be a normal girl."
"Nah, the bitch deserves to die; they were probably going to destroy Konoha!"
During all this, Naruto only looked at her face, soon being covered in spit and grime. The voice inside his head was laughing hysterically, and wouldn't stop laughing. Naruto's anger surged to new levels, and soon, he was covered in the familiar red aura, only there was more red light than ever before, he wasn't even noticing, he could only look at her face, at the eyes that would never open again.
Suddenly, nine tails shot out of the aura, and a large blob of charka floated above his head, and soon took the form of a fox's head. Instantly the ANBU formed a protective human shield in front of the Hokage.
"Hokage-sama, do you now see that he is the demon!"
The old man simply replied, "You fools…"
The villagers began attacking the young boy, who was drowning in anger and sorrow. The tails started lashing out at the villagers, killing them. One tail drove itself into one mans chest, while another got stabbed though the head. Those who tried to attack found themselves being slaughtered, and when they tried to throw kunai or other projectiles, they were caught by the tails before they even got within 3 feet. Murdering the scores of villagers, Naruto would not let up the assault.
Turning away form Nami for a few seconds he whispered, "why…..why….why…WHY!"
At this, the charka around him turned into a cyclone, swirling around him at amazing speeds. Soon everything was sucked up into it, dead bodies and discarded weapons. The ninja waited for the old mans order, though many were smirking, the old man was forced to realize the boy was the demon, how else could he access it evil charka?
The Hokage stared at the ground and several dark circles appeared on the pavement, as gravity claimed his tears.
'How could they do this…to innocent children…?'
"Sir, our orders?"
Reluctantly, "Kill him."
The old man really didn't want to kill him, but he had no choice. He knew that if the boy came back alive out of this, his life would be destroyed, the guilt that he had killed so many people would probably cause him to commit suicide. Also, with Nami, out of his life…he had nothing left going for him. No one else would want to ever even look at the boy…he would be alone for the rest of his life. But the people who hated the demon boy with unquenchable hate would finally have enough proof to demand the boy be killed, and he had no defense to that. It would be best for him to not live though the hell that was about to befall him….the old man had no choice.
The cyclone went down in strength and the ninjas began attacking. Some dashed forward, weapons drawn. Others stayed back and began making hand signs. The ninjas attacking backed off; the heat the boy was projecting was enough to give them burns. The tails lashed out and began killing the Chunins, though a few Jounins also got skewered.
The Nins who were making hand seals finished and shouted out their various techniques, but they had barley any effect on the boy, the tails intercepted any attack and protected the boy from harm. Naruto, during all this, was only staring at the Hokage, his face transformed, the marks on his cheeks were bigger and his normally bright blue eyes had changed into red orbs with slits for pupils.
No one was safe form his fury, the tails could extend and change shape, seeing as they were only chakra. Soon the bodies began piling up, and the remaining ninja called for reinforcements.
Naruto spoke up, "How…how could you…." The Hokage could only stay silent as he bit his thumb and summoned Enma. The monkey boss looked at the poor boy and shook his head. He had heard form Sarutobi what had happened that night 6 years ago, and he pitied the boy. Looking down at the ground, the Hokage made the signal for the monkey to transform. Turning into his staff form, the third jumped into the air and caught him and started thrusting with it, attempting to stab one of the boy's organs. The tails fought against the staff, but to no avail, the old man was just too good. The staff managed to cut off both of his arms in seconds…and then suddenly in a brilliant red flash Naruto was gone.
It wasn't an actually jutsu, far from it, the Kyuubi's charka was simply acting as a steroid, pumping up Naruto's muscles in such as way that he was as fast as any Jounin.
Everyone just stared, the demon was gone... but they still had to prepare their defenses if he came back. They turned back to taking care of the dead bodies and helping the wounded.
The Hokage just kept staring at the spot where the boy had been seconds ago….
Sobbing, he tried to tell himself that he could have chosen another way to act, Enma could do nothing but try and comfort the old man, knowing that it had been hard on the human to attempt to kill the boy. Suddenly a burning pain shot out form the old mans arm and seared onto his skin was the kanji for traitor on his arm. It had turned into a scar.
Clenching his teeth in pain, he could only look at it. One of the medics immediately came by his side, but was only able to lessen the pain; she was unable to take it off for some reason.
Standing back upright, the old man gave the order to stop making the defenses and resume normal operations. Soon everyone was gone in a puff of smoke. And with everyone gone, the invisibility genjutsu was removed. 3 Jounins stepped out. Kakashi stepped forward first, his companions Kurenai and Asuma.
"Kakashi, you saw where he went?"
"No, but I know something that does…"
Summoning Pakkun, the trio began to race into the forest, ready to extract revenge on a certain blonde demon fox.

Naruto was crying on a rock by a waterfall, the Kyuubi's charka was long gone. Sobbing, he took out the locket Nami had given him and looked inside. There was the picture of him, Nami, and the old man, all having ramen. The old man was giving one of his wrinkly old smiles, and Nami's cheeks were full of noodles, causing her to look like a chipmunk, Naruto was giving his famous grin. The group looked so happy…not a care in the world, just having a blast together.
His tears doubled as he remembered the cruel words the villagers had said about her, and that the old man had tried to kill him, he almost did... It was painful to regenerate his two arms…but the red charka had done it anyway. He remembered the way the old man had looked at him, and the glares and insults the villagers had said to him. He remembered killing all those people, and he felt a small smile on his face…it felt so good to finally return what they had done to him, the pain, the beatings, and the broken heart.
His one precious person was gone, and the other had tried to kill him. He was crying so much he didn't notice the 3 shadows behind him.
Asuma pulled out his trench knifes, but Kurenai, stopped him and smiled, "Its my turn first" Kakashi could not help but stare coldly at the back of the demon fox….it had just slaughtered all those people, and it was still covered in their blood. Kurenai finished making her hand signs, and began warping the genjutsu around the small boy.
The Kyuubi had sensed the Jounins and knew that if he didn't do anything, he would die in seconds. Sending his charka to surge though the small boy, he hoped the kid could use it to escape, but what he didn't expect was the boy to turn around and try to fight, the large charka surge had disrupted the genjutsu the woman was trying to finish. Seeing the demon was ready to slaughter them, she started one of her favorite genjutsus,
"Magen: Jubaku Satsu" (Demonic illusion: Tree bind death)
Naruto watched as the red eyed woman disappeared, and suddenly felt a tree wrap it branches around him. Struggling to break free, he finally broke free by releasing a surge of charka. The surge knocked her back a bit, but while she was trying to recover, Asuma had already thrown his trench knifes into each of the boys shoulders, pinning him against a tree.
He cracked his knuckles and charged towards the boy hoping to beat the crap out of him. Growling in frustration, the boy pulled forward and the entire tree uprooted itself. Eyes wide Asuma managed to escape before the boy was able to make a 360 with it.
Charging with the trunk, he used it like lance, trying to hit on of the Jounins, but failed to do so. Finally he decided to get it off, it was restricting his movement. He stood up straight and the knifes shot out of his shoulders as he regenerated the lost tissue, aiming at Kurenai, but she was able to Kawaimi out before she was hit. Kakashi used this moment to attack from behind, and threw an onslaught of shuriken and kunai at the boys back. Making no movement to even dodge, the knife stuck into him, skewing him. But suddenly he turned around and began to charge Kakashi, seeming that he hadn't even felt the weapons.
Cursing Kakashi had no choice; he began making the hand seals for the Raikiri. He and Asuma had been giving Kurenai a steady stream of charka, so the invisibility jutsu could be used on the third. He was on the last of his reserves, and if he used the jutsu, he may pass out.
As the by drew closer, he began his own charge with his own attack. Soon the fox's red charka and the Raikiri were trying to repulse the other, but Kakashi held the upper hand and sent his attack straight though the boys stomach. Doubling over, Naruto gasped in pain, the Fox was terrified and cursing the boy and everyone he could think of. Kurenai began making a genjutsu around the boy, so he died in a more…fitting manner.
As Naruto lifted his head up to look at the masked Jounin who wounded him, al he saw was villagers around him, and they were all saying terrible insults and hitting him with whatever weapon they could. Then a figure with blonde hair and eyes just like his parted the crowd
"I should have killed you years ago, demon slime"
And with that, a swirling blue sphere slammed into his chest, effectively killing him.
