The village of Konoha was slowing starting to wake. The birds were chirping. People setting up their stands for customers. The temperature outside was cool but not cold enough to bother anybody. Since the festival was over, people had to get ready for the day at hand. Other wise they would not sell anything. Since if you do not sell anyting, you do not get any money. If you do not get money. You can not pay your bills, and every one knows you have to pay your bills.

It is this type of morning that we find Naruto Uzumaki, waking up to. However the noise that was waking him up, is the sound of an annoying alarm clock. With out even opening his eyes, he grabs the clock and throws it across the room. He then hears the angelic sound of the clock breaking against the wall.

Deciding he had enough sleep, he gets up to get ready for the day. Since he took a shower before he went to bed, he instead goes into the kitchen to fix his morning ramen. Naruto knows he should be eating healthier food, but nobody in the village will sell him any. When someone does sell him something, its three times the normal price.

The only place he can eat in peace is at his favorite ramen stand, Ichiraku's. That is the only place in the whole entire village, that will treat him like family. This is basically the reason Naruto is addicted to ramen. It was the only thing he was able to buy. Of course the only place he could buy it is at Ichiraku's. Do not get him wrong, Naruto loved ramen with all his heart. He even thinks that ramen came as a gift from Kami herself. But every now and then he wishes he could eat something other than ramen.

The owners of the Ichiraku's, has known Naruto since the day he was born. Teuchi, the owner of the stand, was friends with Naruto's father, the Fourth Hokage also known as Minato Namikaze. When he found out that Minato died, he and his wife (at the time) tried to adopt Naruto into there family. The Council on the other hand, would not allow it.

The Ninja and Civilian Council is the group that makes all the laws in the village. When ever someone basically has a problem, they have to take it up with the Council. The Council is also the reason Naruto life is such a bad one.

No one on the Ninja or Civilian Council's tried to help Naruto in any way. All they did was sit back and watch as the villagers abused him. Even the Third Hogake, who was like a grandfather to Naruto, did nothing when it came to protecting him when it came to the civilians abusing him. The only two things the Third Hokage ever did for Naruto was buy him his apartment and give him a monthly allowance. He did however save his life once.

Even when Naruto was in the orphanage he was neglected. All the keepers of the house would only feed Naruto and change him once a day, if he was lucky. Most of the time they kept him in the basement away from the other kids. Fearing that if he got near them, he would infect them with some kind of sickness or something.

Three Years After Naruto Was Born

One time at the orphanage the keeper ladies forgot to lock the basement door and Naruto was able to crawl out. When the keepers went to feed Naruto, they discovered that he was gone. Next thing everyone knew was panic. The thing is though, the panic was not for Naruto, it was for all the rest of the children. The ladies put the children in the nursery room. Once they had all the kids in the room, and making sure that each one was alright, they went to search for Naruto. They did however leave one lady in with the kids while they were playing with the toys. It took a full ten to fifteen minutes before they found him. When they found him, he was in the farthest room of the house (well as far as a three year old can go on the first floor of the building.).

Naruto was sleeping comfortably on one of the mats that the other kids get to sleep on. The mat felt so comfortable to him that he did not even wake up when the mistress of the house was standing over him.

The mistress looks down at Naruto with a look of discuss on her face. She reaches down and grabs the mat he is laying on. With one quick movement she slings the mat into the air. Because of the movement of the mat, Naruto goes up into the air about three feet and falls on his head. The cry that he let out was absolutely horrible.

While leaving Naruto on the ground crying, the mistress takes the mat that Naruto was sleeping on outside. She then throws it onto the ground and sets it on fire. When the fire went out and the mat was ashes, she goes back into the house where she left Naruto.

She grabs Naruto by his arm and drags him back to the basement. From every point in the whole entire house you could here Naruto screaming/crying. When they reach the basement door she practically throws him into the room. Once she sees that he is still moving she shuts the door and locks it. Even with the door closed she could still hear that he was crying. The mistress then goes into her office and grabs a seal that suppresses noise. She walks back to the basement door and places the seal on it. When she could no longer hear the crying, she put a smile on her face and walked off, leaving Naruto by himself in the dark room of the basement.

Two Years Later

Surprisingly two years later, Naruto was still alive(it was because the Kyuubi was keeping him alive). It took him a couple of tries, but now Naruto was walking all by himself. No one taught him how to walk, so it took him about a year longer than it would for a normal child. However, only after a few weeks of learning how to walk, Naruto was running.

Naruto was laughing and running around the basement, having a good time, when suddenly the door swung open.

The mistress of the house was going around making sure all the kids were taking there nap. She then hears laughter coming from the basement. She starts to frown at the thought of the demon child having fun. The mistress walks over to the door and opens it to find Naruto running around and laughing.

She had a look of pure anger written all over her face. She and the other ladies there hoped that by neglecting the demon child, it would eventually starve to death. But seeing that the demon child was running around and having fun. The mistress was not going to allow that.

When Naruto sees that the mistress was coming for him he froze. Every time he sees her, he would always freeze up. Yes he could have tried to have run away, but a four year old would not out run the mistress in the basement. So accepting his fate, he watches helplessly and she grabs a hold of him.

The mistress drags Naruto through the house and outside onto the front porch. She then picks him up under his arms and throws him off the porch. Naruto lands on the ground, straight onto his back. The landing took all the breath away from him. Surprisingly he did not break any bones. Once he got his breath back, Naruto slowly gets off the ground. Which he found really difficult because of how much pain he was in.

When he was finally able to stand up, he looks at the mistress with a fearful and questionable look that basically said 'why'.

When the mistress saw the look and his face she felt so much pride in herself. She felt so much joy in seeing the way his face looked. She decided for this once and last time, she would answer his unspoken question. 'If you are able to run around and have fun, then a demon like you can take care of yourself.'

She then turns around and goes back inside, slamming the door on her way in. Naruto not understand why he was thrown out of the place he was living decides to go walking and see where it takes him. While he was walking on the street, every one that he passed, was glaring at him.

It did not take him long to notice the glares that were pointed his way. He tried not to pay any mind to it, but everyone he past kept glaring at him. Naruto even heard some of the parents tell there children to stay away form him. Saying that he is a trouble maker, and things of that nature.

Seeing that he had no place to stay, Naruto kept walking and walking. Since he could not take the glares pointed towards him any longer, Naruto just kept looking at the ground. But by doing so, he accidentally bumps into someone. (The man Naruto ran into, will be recognized in two years as the man who stabs him in the heart.)

Naruto looked up at the man, and apologizes for running into him, but the man would not have it. The man kicks Naruto in the chest, breaking a few ribs. He watches as the demon brat falls to the ground. He then bends down in front of Naruto. When the man was about to pull out a weapon, a hand grabs his wrist.

Wondering who had his wrist, the man looks behind him and sees the Third Hokage. The man turns sheet white at the sight of the Hokage standing behind him. The man was about to defend himself, saying it was the demon brats fault, but the Hokage interrupts him, saying that he seen the whole thing.

While the man was taken by Anbu, the Third Hokage reaches down and picks up Naruto as carefully as he can. Making sure not to make the bones puncture any of of organs. He then tells the young boy that its going to be alright, and takes him to the hospital.

After a few days, Naruto's bones have healed. While in the hospital, the Hogake basically had to order the doctors to heal Naruto. Other wise, he would fire ever single one of them.

Walking out of the hospital the Hokage tells Naruto that he bought him an apartment for him to stay in. He also tells him that for a few years or so, he would give him a monthly allowance, to help him buy any groceries that he needed.

The Hokage then proceeds to take Naruto to his new apartment. When they arrive, Naruto could tell that the building was somewhat rundown. But it did not matter to him. As long as there was a roof over his head, Naruto did not really care where he lived. The Hokage then gives Naruto the keys to his room, and he walks in.

Eleven Months Later. October 9

Naruto has been living by himself for almost a year now. Which he enjoyed every single minute of it. Because living by himself, he can make up his own rules. He can do what ever he wants, and not be punished for it. (This does not include the pranks that he pulls on the villagers.)

After a full day of pulling pranks, and eating over ten bowls of ramen at his favorite restaurant. Naruto gets ready for bed.

That night when Naruto finally lays down on his bed, he could not shake the felling that, his life is going to be a bit more interesting when he wakes up in the morning. But had no idea why he felt that way.

Present

We now find Naruto in the middle of his morning ramen. Once he finishes his ramen he puts the bowl in the sink, and heads back into his room to get dressed for the day. Which meant putting on another jumpsuit.(which was also orange)

He walks back out of his room and heads for the door. Turning the nob, he walks outside into the cool summer morning. He closes the door and locks it. He then turns around with the biggest smile on his face.

It was time to go and meet Yui.
