ch13

"I just ran and ran. I had left a note to tell the Hokage I would only be away for a couple of days, a week at most, but I simply never did turned around to go back. I just kept going farther away, and I some how ended up here, in England." said Naruto, a quiet Naruto. Quieter than any had ever seen.

"But Jiraiya left at the same time as you did?" asked Kakashi.

"Yes. He thought he would catch me with ease and simply continue with my training trip. It was only after the two and a half years after I was brought back to the Hokage by Dumbledore that we met again. He was summoned as soon as I was back, to fake my return so the Council wouldn't asked to many unwanted questions." said Naruto, once again shutting his eyes, trying to meditate.

"Is it just something about me that made all my team mates run away?" said a distraught Sakura.

"Maybe, but I think you were just unlucky to get teamed up with two depressed and mentally unstable boys." replied Naruto, who sat in front of them breathing slowly, eyes still closed.

"But why?" asked Hinata. "You had worse things happen to you than what Sasuke did?"

"I had just gotten him where I wanted him, then he left with out a word."

"What do you mean where you wanted him?" asked Sakura.

Naruto did not answer. He seemed to be waiting for the next question ignoring that one.

"When I went to find Naruto for that mission, he was in bed." answered Shikamaru on Naruto's behalf, "but it wasn't his bed I found him in, it was Sasuke's."

"What!" exclaimed Ino.

Naruto tilted his head back, opening his eyes to look at the celling. "It was the first time we did it as lovers. Before that night, it had just been wo... well it had be just for need." only Kakashi and Anko knew what he was going to say and it hurt. It was a sour point to most ANBU.

"So you got here Naruto, then what? If this was the end of your run why not head back?" asked Kakashi, knowing that it was time to change the subject.

Naruto looked back at them and then once again closed his eyes.

"I was pick up by a man. He feed me and put a roof over my head and for once I did not need to think. I became his tool as a true ninja. I did as I was told and he rewarded me with food and shelter. He then gave my body to his son and I had a new reward, to pleasure his son." said the too calm Naruto.

"What! You don't mean you fucked some man just because you were told to!" snapped Kiba, more in shock at the way Naruto was acting than what he said. Though, what he said was pretty shocking in itself.

"I use to whore my body out back at home to pay the rent. The only difference is that there it was only one lad, and not just whoever was willing to pay." sighed Naruto opening is eyes again, though not looking at anything. "I was his mind, body and soul. I was never happier then back then."

"So why come back?" Ino said thinking about how she hated it when Shikamaru was right. He had said it was going to be bad.

"I knew what he asked me to do was wrong, I knew it was way before I was willing to admit to it."

"You mean the sex, selling you body to him right?" asked Kakashi knowing he was wrong, but still with some hope.

"No. I have never had a problem with selling my body. It was needed to serve some purposes. No, it was the killing which was wrong, even if he did say they were all filth and dirt. He told me that they were trying to take over and put the pure-bloods into servitude. so they had to die." said Naruto eyes glazed over.

"Who?" asked Shikamaru. "Who had to die?"

Naruto did not answer for some time, until Hermione answered for him, "Muggle-borns." she said.

"Who?" asked Kakashi.

"People like me who come for non-wizarding families," said Hermione, looking at Naruto with a new understanding.

"Yes." said Naruto "The filth dirty mud-bloods. You know it was 5 years in in the magical world before I even work out that mud-blood wasn't the commonly used term."

"And the man was Lucius Malfoy." said Hermione.

"Yes."

"And who is he?" sighed Kakashi.

"A death eater, the follower of the dark lord, a muggle hater etc.." replied Naruto.

"And you killed for him?" asked Sakura looking horrified.

"Not at first. I was used to get information. Malfoy wanted the dirt on every one since knowledge is power,. If he had everybody's darks secrets then he could control them."said Naruto, "On one mission, I was caught, so I kill the man without thinking and so Malfoy had another way to use me. He stared a rain of terror, however since the Minister hide it away and Dumbledore help them to keep it quiet, it didn't really spread that much terror." Naruto look at Sakura. "Oh come of it Sakura. If you were told to kill someone by the Hokage then you would."

"But Naruto these are civilians." argued Ino.

"Killing them was merciful compared to what I did before I killed them."

"What do you mean? How can killing someone be merciful!" snapped Harry.

"I always wish I was dead afterwards. I begged to be killed, but I'm a bit harder to kill than most." said Naruto.

"No Naruto, you didn't! How could you?" asked a horrified Kakashi.

"It was really easy. I unlocked the memory I hid away so long ago one by one and then I carried them out to the ladder." said Naruto. "It was hard at first. They screams scared me, but I learned to stand it. Then I came to love it, their screams were like music. If I had to suffer as I had at the hand of village, then these kids had to suffer at mine."

"You said I was going to be your 7th birthday. What would you have done to me?" Hermione was probably the only one who could talk, mostly due to the need to know what he would have done.

"I can't really say. The memory's are locked away. I could open it, but last time I cried for 3 hours, so I doubt it would be of any use to you tonight." said the hollow-sounding Naruto.

"I can't tell you everything, but I can tell you everything you would want to know." said Kakashi, " if I may Naruto?"

"Whatever. I can't remember it anyway, so it never happened to me, right?" said Naruto.

"I was on my way back from a mission and since I was passing by Naruto's flat anyway, I stopped by just to look through the window to make sure he was safe. I found 30 men and women in his flat. I won't sugar coat it, they were raping him. They even had their children with them, teaching them that it was fun to hate and torture Naruto." Kakashi stop to let this sink in. "Needless to say, I took care of the problem."

"I remember the blood. There was so much, I was leave to clean it up, I never did quite get it out of the bed sheet." said Naruto, looking off into space.

"You killed them." said Anko. "So that why you were forced to leave ANBU."

"Yes. The Hokage thought that after killing 30 or so men, women and children I should take some time off." said Kakashi.

"Naruto!" sighed Sakura, her arms pull tight to her chest.

"Anyway," said Naruto, he reached downward for his fox mask to hide his face. "I will leave you to take this in. I need to go to bed. If there's anything else you need to know, you can asked me tomorrow. Come on you three, let's go." Naruto was no longer the hollow Naruto, he was fox: a cold ANBU like any other.

"Well that was enlightening." said Shikamaru once the door had shut.

"To say the least." said a worn-out Ino. It 's odd how words can effect people.

"I... I just don't know what to think." said Sakura. She had pulled her legs tight to her chest, leaning her head on her knees.

"Gut retching isn't it?" said the sharp voice of the Hokage, standing behind them. "To think that out of all of us, Naruto would be the worst person we knew."

Kakashi went to say something in return, but was cut off. "Don't bother defending him Kakashi. Would you defend Sasuke's crimes, or even your only even though they are not half as bad? No, the problem here is that no-one can seem to find it in their heart to blame him in the first place. Because of that, he's lost. He has not received punishment, and you are the only punishment I could give him. You will always know you will be the best of friends. It will just go back to the way it was, but you will always know and he will always know that you know. You will never be able to look at him in just the same way again."

"Don't you think your being a bit harsh?" said Sakura. He was her team mate, she had to defend him.

"Harsh you say? He left the village that a death penalty: 400 count of murder, rape and torture, if he was lucky, 10000 year in prison, 25 for ever murder. It's more likely he'll be looking at 401 death penalties. I think I've been quite lenient." said the Hokage as she turned back to her room, shutting the door behind her.

It was a silent walk back to the Gryffindor common room and as they left Naruto to go to the dorm, Hermione hung back. "Will you be alright Naruto?"

"Yes, of course, little Hermione." said the fox mask, staring at her. Hermione remembered the night in which Naruto had first call her 'little Hermione' and oddly, she had to smile.

It was a dark night when Hermione's scream filled the air. She had awoken to find a man standing at the end of her bed, and she knew she was in trouble. The white-bone mask shaped as a skull and the black cloak which was left open, showing his muscles, was proof of that. It was also the opened cloak that told her that the young death-eater was male.

"Well hello there, little Hermione. Could you keep it down though? Don't want to wake your parents, now do you?" the death-eater said, just standing there, seemly waiting for something or someone as he looked from her to the door and back again.

"Why are you here?" she said as she sat up and backed herself up to the headboard, away from the death-eater.

"Don't concern yourself with me, I'm not all that important." he said walking over to her window, pulling the curtain back revealing a green glow. "What going on out there? What that glow?"

"The dark mark." The boy said, as he took off his mask. The boy was about her age. He was cute looking with blonde hair and blue eyes. Hermione had to say it was hard to believe he was a death eater, not because of his good looks, but the smile and innocence in those blue eyes,it was hard to believe that he could be evil.

The boy made his way to her dresser and put what look like a letter and a purse. "What are those?"

The boy turned to look at her. "A map and some money." He said, once again going to check the window.

"I must be going now, but I thank you for your company, little Hermione. I thank you, but I must be going." The boy seemed nervous, but before she could ask more, there were noises from downstairs and the boy put his mask back on as the door flew open. Two spells hit one another in the middle of the room as several men and women came through the door headed by Dumbledore. The boy back-flipped through the closed window. "Stay here and watch her." said Dumbledore, now running out the door and down the stairs.

As Dumbledore arrived on the street, he saw the death-eater standing at an ally some ways down the road. Dumbledore turned and started to walk towards the young man. As he did, the man turned and walked down the ally.

Dumbledore caught up to the man halfway down the ally. The death-eater stood there, watching Dumbledore come to stop close to him. There was a lamp in the ally, so the death-eater had stood at one end of the pool of light and Dumbledore stopped at the other end.

"Good night to you, Dumbledore." The boy, for Dumbledore could tell that the voice was that of a child's.

"You are acting rather out of character tonight." said Dumbledore, looking at the death-eater's wand which was out, but pointed to the floor. This said that the death-eater would fight if need be, but was hoping not to.

"What is your name child?" asked Dumbledore, taking the risk to put his own wand away. The boy seemed to like this. He relaxed somewhat and put his wand away.

"My name is Naruto." The boy said as he took off his mask.

"I would like to speak to you tonight, Dumbledore."

"I see. What is it that you wish to discuss with me, Naruto?"

The boy look upward to the sky. "I have a feeling that I have been tricked. I know I haven't got the biggest brain, but I thought I was smarter than this." Naruto sighed.

"You may have guessed, but I don't come from around here. I come from very different place, I am sure you will see that for your self soon enough."

"Why? For what reason should I go there for?" asked Dumbledore, trying to work out the boy in front of him.

"This time Hermione lives, but only because I want her to, I really do, but the next time we meet I will kill her and anyone in my way. The next time I meet her, it will be in Hogwarts and I will kill until I am killed. I think it is best that you find someone which can guard your students and kill me." said Naruto

"I fail to see why. If you don't want to kill Hermione, then don't. Why don't you come with me? We could go back to you home together. Surely you have friend and family back home who are worried about you."

"No. I have no family and I wish to die before my friend know my shame. My village use to call me a monster and I have devoted my life to change that. I have always try to do what right and true, but now I have failed rather miserably haven't I? I am nothing more than a monster." Naruto look down with a lost look flooding his blue eyes. "How can I look my friend in the eye?"

"But what of your friends? Wouldn't they be saddened by your death? Come Naruto. If you no longer want part of this, let us help you. You can return to your village. You are young, don't let one mistake ruin your life. You have much to give the world." said Dumbledore, raising his arm out, trying to bring Naruto towards him.

Naruto left foot shifted towards Dumbledore, a longing within his eyes for Dumbledore's offer. "It an executional punishment to run away from my village, and then there the dark arts. They left their mark on me. My mind is not what it use to be Dumbledore." said the young, lost boy.

"Come Naruto, come with me. It will be alright, I will see to it. Naruto you can just come with me, leave it all to me. Come with me." said Dumbledore, waving his hand. Naruto took a step forward.

"I don't know, I..." Then Naruto all but ran the last 5 or 6 step. He threw his arms around the old man, crying uncontrollably into his chest.

Dumbledore rapped his arm around the small shaking frame. "My dear boy..."

well there you have it do tell me what you think it make me happy and i write more.
