Ghost Child
ch.2
Revenge
Naruto crept along the shadows of the old orphanage. He wore all black including a black headband that was wrapped around his face, concealing his bright blonde hair and gloves to prevent any fingerprints. In his hands was a vial of poison. He grinned as he saw his sleeping target. The Matron.
Back when his friend had died she had the mastermind behind it all. The entire staff, even some of the older orphans had been convinced by her to kill Naruto when he was a small toddler. The unknown orphan had been Naruto's protector and would sneak Naruto food when he was in the cellar for solitary confinement on adoption days.
After the incident Naruto never found out if she truly did accidentally kill the wrong boy but he did know that it was her fault that his friend was trapped in the world of the living. After his discovery Naruto had started secretly studying how to assassinate people and make it look like suicide. From untraceable poisons and animal mauling, to a simple gas leak, and accidental house fires; killing became Naruto's expertise. He studied groups of ANBU, even the antics and styles of some of Konoha's more docile and sadistic Jonin.
Naruto's happy demeanor shrouded his sociopath side. For years it went unnoticed. The scorn of the villagers didn't help either. After all you reap what you sow.
Now it was time for the last piece of his work.
Naruto slipped into the orphanage. He slipped sound proof seals on the doors to the bunks as he made his way to the Matron's quarters. He snuck in and found the old hag asleep in her bed. Naruto carefully poured the poison into her mouth and waited as it kicked it.
The poison had been specially derived from suicide pills, only in this case it would be completely untraceable. In an autopsy it would look like a stroke. Naruto watched as the woman shuddered and choked on her own breath. Finally when she fell off the bed and was no longer breathing Naruto left the orphanage, making sure to lock the door to her room so none of the orphans found her in the morning.
On his way to the cemetery Naruto passed Kakashi and the other Jonin of the Konoha 11. He smiled at them devilishly and continued on his way. He knew that in a matter of minutes they would realize what he had done and find the matron's body. By then he would be long gone from the village.
Naruto appeared in the cemetery. His friend sat there on his tombstone waiting to hear the news.
"It's done." Naruto said was an authentic smile. "You can finally be at peace; I've sent her to Hell."
He waited for a few minutes as his friend crossed into the afterlife before returning home.
The next morning Naruto's apartment was empty. Naruto and all his belongings were gone without a trace. A journal was all that was left. It described what really happened that night in the orphanage and all the people who had been involved, as well as how Naruto had killed them. A recently done DNA test was also inserted in the journal with a note from Naruto.
The unknown child had been the nephew of a visiting Clan Head from the Capital. He had been kidnapped by bandits and drugged to the point he couldn't remember his own name then abandoned out in the wildness until the child had found his way to Konoha only to be killed in the orphanage.
But it had been the last entry that sent chills down the spines of everyone who read the journal. Written in heightening red letters.
To whom it may concern,
If you are reading this I have finished my revenge and have left the village. I shall not return. However, should anyone put a bounty on my head; they will wake up with me standing over them with a knife in my hands and you will only find their headless body.
Tell the villagers thank you for creating helping to create what I am now.
Sincerely,
Konoha's own Serial Killer
Kitsune
p.s. Kyuubi says 'Hi' Old Man.
The End
HAPPY HALLOWEEN
