Years later a boy could be seen running from a crowd of what was to be of the present Konoha villagers.
"Come back here demon!" yelled a villager running at Naruto with a pitchfork hoping to end the boy.
Naruto had been scared when the first few mobs came after him but after what seemed as if the 100th, he was used to it and just knew he had to get away, and stay calm. Quickly seeing a way to escape, Naruto ran around a corner and hid in a barrel near an alleyway before any of them could see.
Though unluckily for him, there was a few chuunin in the crowd that could sense the boy's chakra and led the crowd straight to him. When the crowd had found him in the barrel, all he had done was cower back and begged them not to hurt him.
"Ha! the demon asks for mercy when he didn't give us any" laughed out one of the villagers then they proceeded to stab the boy with kunai in the arms and other non-vital spots.
The Anbu posted by supposably put there to guard the boy just watched and enjoyed the show. Suddenly one man decided the demon didn't need to be in a human's skin and that's when they broke up the mob less they incur hokage's wraith if he found out they had let the boy die.
"Alright, alright break it up, the boy is under the hokage's protection" said an Anbu.
"Grumbling about magic bewitching the hokage the crowd dispersed. Then Anbu just looked at the boy then disappeared via shunshin.
Bloodied and beaten, Naruto just sat in the alleyway thinking back over what he had done wrong and found nothing.
Finding no reason to stick around, Naruto picked himself up and limped home to his so called 'apartment' which was more of a run down shack in him opinion, but it was a room over his head so he didn't complain.
As he was limping to his apartment he looked to the hokage monument seeing the fourth's face wishing he could be like him someday. Knowing it was never going to be possible, he just kept trudging home.
As Naruto entered his apartment he scanned the room trying to remember where he had placed his medical supplies which seemed to be where the bulk of his money was spent. Lifting the tattered remains of his shirt Naruto looked down at his stomach scanning it for the wounds that would actually need to be dress and could not be instantly taken care of by his insanely fast healing.
He had just wrapped his torso to cover the stab wounds before going to the kitchen in search of food. He quickly searched the pantry and found no food so he simply decided to bed hungry that night.
As Naruto started to his room, he felt a burning sensation rising from his stomach, he just passed it off as hunger pangs and kept moving towards his room until the pain rose even higher making it hard to walk.
He looked up and saw the door to his room. Struggling he reached to the doorknob with one hand and clutched his stomach with the other. Opening the door he started trudging to his bed. Before his could though the darkness enveloped him as he fell to the floor.
'Drip...'
'Drip...'
'Drip...'
Naruto could hear the eery sounds of water as he got up. Looking down he saw water, and wondered why he wasn't wet although he was just lying down in the water a second ago.
Looking up he saw a cage with bars each one easily 1 foot thick and at least 100 feet tall easily dwarfing him in comparison. In the middle of the cage was a square of metal with a single piece of paper with the word "Seal" on it.
Looking around at the eery sight he walked closer to the cage wondering what was behind it's bars, as he got closer a giant red tail came flying at him trying to go through the gaps in the bars. Before it could reach him though it crashed into what seemed as a invisible barrier.
"W-w-who's there" Naruto stammered out, slowly stepping back.
A low growl emitted from the cage before a giant red fox walked closer to the cage bars allowing it to become visible to Naruto.
"What a pathetic jailor I seem to have" noted the fox in a casual voice that dripped with malice.
Naruto unsure of what to do just looked up at the fox and asked "are you going to hurt me like all those other people?"
As Naruto asked the question the fox gained a confused expression, if it could recall as it was being sealed the Hokage had stated that the boy would be a hero for being its jailer.
"What do you mean by that boy?" questioned the fox.
"I don't know, everyone else just hits me and calls me demon" said Naruto in a low depressed voice, barley audible "I just wish I knew what I did wrong..."
"Come closer boy" commanded the fox.
"But you'll just hurt me like everyone else" stated Naruto.
The fox saw Naruto's eyes and noticed right away that Naruto had seen things and had been hurt more than enough. "Kit, I promise on my honer and on my title as the Kyuubi no Kitsune that I will not hurt you" stated the fox in a less menacing tone "Just reach your hand into the cage"
Naruto hesitantly reached his hand into the cage as the fox touched its snout to Naruto's hand.
Suddenly all Naruto's memories were laid bare for the fox to see, recalling every beating, all the name calling, and any other horrid memories for the fox to see.
Jerking its head back suddenly the fox moved back and its tails waved angrily, silently seething. "And they dare call me a demon!" mocked Kyuubi.
"It's so sad..." Naruto's voice rung out.
"What is" questioned Kyuubi.
"Your kits, and those mean men" replied Naruto as silent tears fell.
"How much did you see?" asked Kyuubi.
"I saw those mean men come and kill your kits and I saw another fox your size with 7 tails get killed... and then you attacking the village" replied Naruto.
"Do you hate me now?"
"No, not at all" replied Naruto quickly "I probably would of done the same thing if they killed the people most precious to me"
"Thank you kit" replied Kyuubi. "I saw what all those people did to you, if you want, I could make you strong enough to protect your precious people and to protect yourself from all those bad people" said Kyuubi.
"I'd like that" replied Naruto.
"Alright, I promise I will turn you into a kami among men, and everyone will see their mistake in tormenting you." stated Kyuubi, "But for now you must sleep kit, and recover your strength, because your training begins tomorrow." smirked the Kyuubi thinking of all the things Naruto would be doing.
"For now, take my gift and rest." whispered Kyuubi as its red aura seeped out from the cage and engulfed Naruto with its warmth, lulling Naruto to sleep and healing all his wounds at the same time.
Staring lovingly at Naruto, and with that Kyuubi knew for sure with absolute certainty one thing...
A/N:
Eh, Cliffhanger sorry but I didn't really know how to end it, anyways to answer some questions
1. I referred to the Kyuubi as "the fox" until the point where Naruto learned some of her memories cause i guessed Naruto seeing the village attacking would hear some random idoit yelling "The Kyuubi's attacking" so i put that that
2. I tried to make sure I never said Kyuubi was a girl and even in those memories with Naruto being 5 years old I'm pretty sure he can't tell the difference between a boy and a girl fox seeing as he's never even seen one outside the Kyuubi
3. The gift was just some Demonic Chakra to give heal him and some other perks which I will explain in the next chapter
4. I'd really enjoy some reviews with a bit of criticism so I could tell what I'm doing wrong cause it's pain in the ass trying to correct myself.
Anyways I've already chosen the pairing which will be FemHaku and FemKyuubi but if u STRONGLY believe someone else should be there to, in a review just put their name and why they should be in this
Reminder: If you'd like to Beta/revise for me Just PM/Review with an MSN instant messenger E-mail, not normal e-mail in which i could get it to you, I'd rather do it through a live chat then have to wait for someone to e-mail me back and forth. Also remember that this is just a hobby, not my job or anything I actually am required to do, so I'll update whenever but do not attempt to pressure me into updating because I can assure you that the chapter will be horrible
anyways that's all Ja Ne for now
