A/N: Yo, its Khaos Kuma. Had a lot of hits when I updated this last, good on ya! I was like "Whoa…." when I saw that in one day, I had over 1000 hits in one day. Though it might not seem like much to you all, it is to me! Now some reviews before I start.

Nicklaren: Yeah I did have to rape him. It shows not only the depravity of human nature, but also the ignorance of a society wrapped in fear.

Narudevilfan: I'm hoping that it doesn't crash again so I can keep the updates closer and not have a massive gap. This is my first laptop so I am really attached to it lol.

Fanofmany: I've heard the same thing from people. While they struggle with their computers, I laugh and boot up mine! MUHAHAHAHA!

Anyways, that's it for now. Enjoy!

Time skip: 4 years Naruto Age 10

A human figure darted from tree to tree, racing away from a seemingly unseen foe. A katana was strapped to his back, the hilt a combination of black and red. Amethyst eyes darted from tree branch to the ground below, trying to find the thing that was chasing after him. Slowly a hand went to the hilt of his sword as he stopped on a larger branch. Whirling and drawing the katana, he blocked the attack aimed at his back. Two dripping fangs tried to move around the flat of the blade with no avail. The scent of poison filled the air as the thing struggled to bite its prey. With a grunt, the person shoved back the large thing and stood ready for the next attack. With a hiss, the spider charged at the man, only to find him behind it with the katana held at a downward angle. He flicked his sword and slowly sheathed it. As the hilt of the sword met the sheath, the spider twitched and fell into two separate pieces. Blonde hair was ruffled as Naruto ran his hand through it, looking exhausted from that run and fight.

In the four years since his attack, Naruto had begun living in training ground 44, otherwise known as the Forest of Death. He had decided to live there because somehow, the villagers had found every place of his and attacked him shortly after he got out of the hospital that fateful day. He had a few run ins with one Anko Mitarashi, but he really didn't have an issue with her. She was like him in a sense, so in his mind she was like family. She would never admit it outloud, but she saw the young blonde the same way. Naruto had found the tower in the middle of the forest and had taken one of the rooms in it, with his Jiji's approval of course. It had taken some time to convince the elderly Hokage to let him live there, but when he had said that living there was safer than not the Sandiame agreed and allowed it. Living there also allowed him to work on his swordplay and other powers granted to him from Wrath. The being had brought him to his mindscape every night to teach him about his abilities and the many different sword styles he had either seen or used before he was sealed. As Naruto learned them, he began to combine bits and pieces of them to create his own style, called Ikari no Dansu.

He also worked on utilizing his KI which, due to Wrath being sealed in him, was more potent than even the Hokage's. However, as he worked on the powers given to him from the Fox he struggled with his ever growing anger. Wrath informed him that it was mostly because of him and told him that he would help the boy learn how to control his anger until he could find his Virtue. Once found, his temper would ease to controllable levels. Until then, he had to use several different exercises to maintain his control. From deep breathing and counting to a certain number to meditation, he worked everyday to keep his cool. When those didn't work, the boy would just plain exercise until he was too tired to move or even care. He had noticed though that when his temper was at its max, his eyes would slowly build up light behind them until they shone brightly. He guessed it was because he was subconsciously channeling his chakra into his eyes to compensate for his higher speed. Numerous things set him off, from the villagers to small injuries all worked to increase the level of anger. He knew that it was only a matter of time before he found the Virtue and hoped that it was before he snapped on the villagers and killed them.

With his daily hunt over, he quickly made his way to his home to shower and change before heading to the academy. While he didn't like some of the stuck up assholes there, he knew that there were those type of people everywhere in the world and he just couldn't get away from them. Hopping in the shower and cleaning the dirt and grime off of himself, he traced the scars on his body from his attacks. Both Wrath and the Hokage knew that while he didn't show it, mentally he was scarred as well from that night and most likely wouldn't enjoy being in the presence of a female for some time. While it would slowly be settled and worked through, they knew that it would have a lasting impression on the young blonde. With his shower finished, he quickly changed into his normal wear and began his trek to the school. With the only thing changing was his height, formally 4' 5" to an impressive for his age 5', he didn't change his outfit any. He continued to go to Sal's store for his every ninja need and had a slight discount on his things for being such a loyal customer.

Naruto leapt over the fence separating the village from the forest and turned slightly to see spiders watching him leave. He knew that when he came home, he would have a battle on his hand. Flipping off the 8 legged creatures, he began to walk through the village. He could feel his temper rising as he saw the glares of the people and growled faintly, leaking a small amount of KI from his form. As the villagers felt it, they trembled faintly and got back to what they were doing. His day now successfully ruined, he took to the rooftops, leaping from building to building. Anko had begun to teach him what she knew when they first met and he took to it like fish to water. Everything she went over with him he absorbed like a sponge. She felt a bit of pride, knowing that when he became a ninja he would be a force to be reckoned with. In truth, she was training him to be an assassin and he knew it. He loved the feeling of being able to sneak up on people and using that few seconds to take them out. He had been forced to make his first kill when Anko took him with her to eliminate a small group of bandits near the village. While he had enjoyed it slightly, he threw up afterwards. He knew that while it was his job to kill, he would always be reluctant to kill if he could convince them to leave peacefully. He would beat them senseless and let them live before he would kill them, leaving that as a last resort.

He came to the academy and sighed faintly, knowing he was in for another boring day in class. He had tried to get out of it, but his Jiji wouldn't let him. His 'grandfather' had promised him that if he got through this year that things would be different for him. Unfortunately, he was in a class of stuck up bastards, Neji Hyuuga being the main one. He could swear that everything the Hyuuga sat down, he could hear the stick up his ass creak. He chuckled at that thought and made his way into the classroom, walking to sit in his seat in the back. He sat behind everyone because he still couldn't deal with people at his back. He credited it with the years of abuse from the villagers. Seeing as he was a bit early, he laid his head on the desk to try to get a quick nap. He slipped into a very light sleep and rested as his classmates filed in. Of the many different ones that came in, only three kept his attention. One was obviously Neji. The second was a girl with buns in her hair, giving her a panda-like impression, named Tenten. She was extremely skilled with weapons, though being a Higirashi gave that to her. Her father owned the shop that rivaled Sal's, so being around weapons was a given for her. The last one was a very thick eyebrowed boy named Rock Lee. The only reason he got the blonde's attention was because he couldn't use Ninjutsu or genjutsu at all. His chakra network was plagued with a lot of obstructions and didn't allow him to utilize his chakra at all. That being said, Lee worked his tail off everyday with Taijutsu. He showed promise with it. Lee was the one right above Naruto in the rankings, mostly due to the teachers hatred of him, thus dubbing the two of them 'Deadlast'.

Today was the graduation exam and Naruto was certain he would pass. Wrath agreed with him as the teacher passed out the standard academy paper tests. As he reached Naruto, he glared at the boy and handed him the test. The glare, however, didn't bother him at all and all the teacher got as the sight of himself in the blonde's ever present sunglasses. Naruto looked down at the test and frowned slightly. He didn't know any of these questions! As he struggled to think of answers, he never realized that this test was one for ANBU. Wrath, however, knew that the teacher gave the boy the wrong test on purpose, but didn't say a word to the boy. He had to eventually figure stuff out on his own. After an hour, the teacher called for the tests to stop and passed forward. He then took them outside for the taijutsu portion of the test. All of them passed, though Rock Lee had decimated his Chunin opponent. Naruto had not gone all out to keep himself out of the spotlight. The second part of the test over, the instructor moved them all inside for the final part of the test, the Ninjutsu portion. One by one they were called into a room and told to perform the Academy standard of Henge, Kawarimi, and the Bushin. Naruto's name was last and he walked into the room. He effortlessly performed the first two easily, but when he came to the Bushin he knew he had problems. He had too much chakra for the standard 3 Bushin and let them know. The instructors told him to perform the task or be failed immediately. Shrugging, the blonde made an upward of 50 Bushins and looked at the teachers. Glares were all he received as he was told to leave the room. He walked silently up to his seat again and waited. After a little bit, the teachers walked in and began to call out the names of all those who passed. Naruto's name, however, was not called. When he questioned them, they told him that it was because of his low test score and a failure to complete the standard clones. Faint growling was heard from the boy as he walked back to his seat, a faint glow coming from behind the sunglasses. After they were dismissed, he headed to the roof and looked down on all of the people congratulating their children.

He growled deeper as he noticed the happy expressions on their faces as they were informed that the blonde had not passed. Killing intent began to flood the area and Naruto took off running as the people began to shake badly. He dashed into the Forest of Death and just ran. He knew that the Hokage would just roll him back into the next years classes and he swore that he would pass. No matter what…

A/N: And break! Now I realize that my chapters are short, as so many have pointed out to me, but honestly when I run out of ideas for the chapter or lose where I am going with it, I stop. If that's a bad thing, oh well. Anyways, don't for to hit the little button just under this and review. Ja Ne!
