Hello again. This is basically my first chapter (ish) and this is the part I of the chapter. There is three part to this story and this part is where I get to have little Naruto and Reiko rant about some depressing things. Well, I hope you enjoy it and I really apologize for sucking in writing. I always was and I doubt that's going to change anytime soon so I might just as well show the world how much I suck. Really, it's not like people's actually going to praise my writing since I already know I suck. Anyways, when you're done reading, just press the blue link/button and tell me how much this story sucked or something. Or maybe after you read the next two parts of this chapter to see if I improve or not (which I don't except probably the second part since most of that part if not all are written by this awesome person BlackPANDA xD but I bet your faces will be crestfallen after reading the third part so if you don't want to, then don't read it. It really saves a lot of trouble.)

Disclaimer: The plot for this chapter and next couple chapters do NOT belong to me. They belong to BlackPANDA xD and the only part that belongs to me is the Reiko's part of the part I and every chapter's part III. Also, I changed a little bit of the Naruto's part but mostly are written by BlackPANDA xD. Also, I do NOT own Naruto and the only character I own so far are Reiko and couple characters that I'm going to introduce in part III. But, they are not really that important so until now, Reiko's the only main character that I own.

The Truth - Chapter 1: Cold Blue Eyes

"Boy, there's a demon for everything!" -Anonymous

I

Let's start from the beginning, shall we? I guess when that sign fell, that's when things started. I could never resist my stupid hero complex. It just felt natural, I guess. Even now, years later, I still have such a noble head, and won't refuse any kind of call for help. It's one of the only things, really, that I share with my dobe persona.

You might be thinking, what am I talking about? What dobe persona? I'm not the stupid dead last you've always known. I'm not loud, I'm not obnoxious, and I'm not like anything you've always thought of me. The mask was a shield, and yet, as Kano said, it attracted people. It was one of my hidden abilities that made people naturally flock to me. Well, they did once they got over the oversized kitten living in my head.

But why a mask? What the hell would make me need one in the first place? To truly understand, you would have to be Gaara, the one-tailed Tanuki, from Suna. You would have to be Yugito, the two-tailed Demon Cat, from Kumo. You would have to be me, the nine-tailed Kyuubi no Kitsune. We are jinchuuriki, a human sacrifice. We are powerful. We are cursed. We are feared. And you'll never understand that.

I used to be confused by all these events. But at 7 years old, this was the age of acceptance, when I finally decided to accept everything that would happen to me. I guess that's why I could get over things quickly.

But there are still some things I'll always deny.

- Naruto

You guys can laugh at my story, do whatever you want with it. I really don't give a crap whether you believe my story or not. Why? I stopped giving crap to anything long time ago. Why should I start now? You guys don't understand the meaning of true pain. Heck, you never even went close to it. The true pain comes from shunning, from trying to stand tall but being beaten back to the ground until you know the geography of the ground better than your surroundings.

You probably are thinking right now, 'We had our fair share of pain. We all had to go through the same up and down in our lives. You must be weak to not be able to survive through all that.' Well, have you? You never experienced the true pain, the aching in your heart that will never cease to exist. You never had to be shunned by the entire village because you were a bit different. You never had to run all your life because some weird guys wanted your power.

I learned to kill my emotions from a young age. When I learned to feel again and started to love, the world turned its back on me. This cycle has continued for what seems like eternity and to tell you the truth, I'm really tired of it. I'm tired of putting a facade around people who never understood me and never would.

To understand my pain, to truly understand the pain that I lived in from before I even turned one, you have to Naruto who was shunned by villagers all his life, you have to be Itachi who was forced to choose between two choices that eventually led up to his death, you have to be all the other jinchuuriki's who were shunned through their entire life. You have to be Hinata who learned to mask all her feelings behind a mask of timid and weak girl in order to protect herself from her own family. You have to be me, a girl who learned how to fight before age two, a girl who learned to kill in cold blood before she was even four, a girl who despaired over life.

You guys will never understand my story but I can always try. My story, deeply intertwined with the other pains, is different from others. My life is entwined with strands of Hinata, strands of Itachi, and strands of Naruto.

This is the fact of life. This is the Truth.

Thanks for enduring my story and I hope you like/liked it. I would always appreciate reviews.
