CHAPTER ONE

Five years have pasted since the Kyuubi's attack on the Hidden Leaf Village and with that attack that took a lot of people their lives in the fight against the demon fox. Not too long after everything got back to normal did the grand council of the village announce to everyone that the Kyuubi was sealed inside Naruko against Hiruzen's direct orders. After the revealing of Naruko's status of being the Kyuubi's did the Third Hokage ordered the people of the village to never tell the girl about what was sealed inside her. After the discovery the villagers started hating the girl and started treating her like a total outcast every time they saw her. The blonde haired little girl is hurt and confused by the harsh treatment of her fellow villagers. She wants to understand what she did that was so wrong to bring fourth this much hate filled glares towards her along with cruel and unforgiving names. Names like monster, freak, demon child/brat etc...the kind of names that leaves scars on her heart.

Naruko tries to show the villagers their words and actions don't effect her by forcing a smile on her face to show them she's strong and that she's oblivious to them. That fake smile works on some people and they take Naruko for a fool, there is a select few of people that are not tricked by her fake smile for they are the few that have seen her real smile.

Those few people were Lady Kaede, Old Man Hokage, Dog, Cat, and Iruka Sensei. These people meant the world to Naruko because they're the ones who treated her like she was a somebody and not a freak like everybody else in the village. They're the ones who helped pull her out of her darkness and loneliness with their love.

Thinking about all her special people brought a smile to her tan and whiskered face. Lady Kaede was like her grandmother and has been the one to take care of her entire life. She also like her sensei since she has been showing her some of her medical ninjutsu techniques along with how to make medicine out of the different herbs located around the village. A funny fact people don't know about her is that she taught Lady Tsunade how to be a medical ninja. Kaede even told Naruko she had the potential to be just as good as her someday as long she kept practicing. Naruko smile grew bigger thinking about her grandmother she really loved her and was grateful for all the things she does for her.

One of her next favorite person was Old Man Hokage or as she liked to call him Grandpa because he like Lady Kaede treated her like a granddaughter. When he's not too busy with work he takes her shopping, he even takes her out to get her favorite food in the world RAMEN! Another thing she loves about her Grandpa is that he lets her stay with him in his office when her Grandma is called to the hospital to help with patients who are in critical conditions. Yea her Grandma just that good.

Another few of her special people are Dog and Cat. Those two are her Anbu guards given to her by Grandpa to protect her from the Villagers who might and try to hurt her if she wasn't careful. Thought Sometimes she gets into trouble anyway because they get sent away on really dangerous missions because of their rankings. When that happens she gets new Anbu guards, but they don't like her so she gets hurt and when they get back their mad and punish the guards who failed to protect her. The reason they do that is because they she Naruko as their little sister and anyone tries to hurt her while their around better have good insurance. Whenever their around they teach her the principles of being a ninja of Konona and they even teach her some of their fighting techniques which is a lot of fun, but what makes it really special for Naruko is the fact she's spending time with her older siblings.

Now for one of the really special person Naruko admires is Iruka Sensei. To Naruko Iruka is her ideal father figure in her life. Iruka treats her to diner whenever everyone is busy with work, he plays with her in the park near the academy where he works and when she's tried he takes her home and puts her to bed while kissing her goodnight and reading her a story. The circumstances on how Iruka came into Naruko's life was not moment most people would like, but to Naruko she wouldn't change a thing of that day for the world. It lead to her finding another person to accept her for who she was and for her to find someone to treat her like she was his own daughter. With the thoughts of her father figure in her head Naruko slips in her memories of the first time she meet Iruka.

(The story will now be told in Naruko's POV and will be told through a flashback sequence)

That day started out like every other day to me. I woke up, got dressed in a bright orange t-shirt and put on a pair of blue shorts. I then put on my ninja sandals Grandpa just got me. After getting dress I ate breakfast and told grandma bye while heading off to the Hokage tower to see the Grandpa. As I walked to the tower I received the usual hateful glances from the villagers typical. Yep just another ordinary day in the my life I think as I continued my way to the Hokage tower and then to the Grandpa's office. I walked in to greet him with my usual hug and ask him if there was anything I could do to help him. He smiles at me and tells me I can help him by putting away finished documents in the filing cabinet after he finished sorting through them. When we're finished with all of the paper work he offered to take me to get something to eat at Ichiraku Ramen Bar which made me extremely happy.

We walked into the ramen stand where we were greeted by the owners with smiles on their faces and were severed with what I like to call heaven in a bowl. After dinner I told the owners and Grandpa bye and took off to the cabin home I shared with my grandmother. On the way home I heard a cry for help and went to see what was wrong. As I rounded the corner I saw a group of (3) men beating up a women in her late twenties trying to strip off her clothing. Seeing this horrible scene made me to cry out in shock which earned me the attention of the disgusting men. They had this weird look in their eyes that caused a cold shiver to go up my spine and at that moment I knew something bad was going to happen.

"Looky here boys we got ourselves a young one to play with," said the ringleader at least I assumed he was since the other two looked like his followers.

"Hey boss do you think she's a screamer like this one," snickered the man closest to the women on the ground.

"Don't know, lets find out and see. Get her," ordered the ringleader.

With the order given the men came after me, but I ran away as fast as I could out of the alleyway and made my way towards the woods thinking I could lose them there. I was able to get about maybe fifteen feet into the woods before I tripped on a rock and tumbled off a little cliff into a small clearing. After recovering from my fall I tried to get back up and make another break for it, only to fall back down because my left ankle was twisted and hurt like crazy and at that point it was already starting to swell. As I tried to get back up again I was too late the men had already caught me.

"Got you now you little bitch," spat the ringleader as he pulled me up by my hair to his face where I smelled the foul stench of alcohol on his breath.

As I tried to squirm my way out of his grasp I saw the men eyes changed from their previous glazed look to a more readable look for her. The look of hatred.

"Boss that's the demon brat," one of the men in the group stated.

"I can see that dumbass I'm not blind! Just because she's the demon brat doesn't mean we still can't have some fun with her" the ringleader sneered causing the other men to chuckle evilly.

With plan the decided the man who held me threw me to the ground kicking and stomping on my petite body with his men joining him throwing in their own punches and kicks at me. As the assault continued the harder the attacks came and soon it caused me to start coughing up the blood that filled my mouth from busted lip. At the moment the only thing I could think about doing to protect myself from this vicious beating was to huddle into a ball to defend myself hoping it would soon. Just when I was on the break of unconsciousness I head a voice shouting in the distance telling the men to stop.

When the guys who were beating me heard the screaming voice they got scared and ran off leaving me broken and beaten on the ground. It hurt to move anything after the men left and as I laid there I heard the footsteps the person who scared them away walking over to me. I tried to see who it was, but it hurt too much to move so I just kept my head down and waited for this person to finish me off believing they were just like everyone else in the village. As I waited for the person to come over I heard the person gasp in shock probably because he saw who he saved from those men and regretted saving the monster of the village I thought sadly making my heart ache more than the pain I felt from the beating I just endured. As the stranger finally stood beside my battered form I was confused by what they did. The man picked me up gently into his arms and started to carry me out of the woods.

"What's going on? Doesn't this guy know who I am," I asked myself. "Wonder where he's taking me, well might as well ask."

"Umm e..ex..cuse me, b..but we..were are you ta..taking me?" I ask stuttering out in a low raspy voice.

"The hospital. You need to get these wounds looked at before they get infected," the man told me.

"Why? Why are you helping me?" I ask totally confused by the man's act of kindness.

"That's a stupid thing to ask. Your hurt and what those men did to you is unforgivable. I mean for them to beat a child to this extent is down right unforgivable," he tells me.

"Don't you hate me like everybody else in the village?" I ask.

I saw the man tense up at my question as emotions passed through his eyes before he relaxed again and held me closer in a more protective manner. "No. I don't hate you. Listen the people of this village are nothing, but a bunch of blind fools who don't see that you are just a little girl and that it wasn't your fault for the things that have happened to you. You were just at the wrong place at the wrong time," he tells me.

"Do you know why the village hates me?" I ask.

" Yes I do, but I can't tell you what it is that makes the people hate you just that it's not your fault and that shouldn't let the people of this village bother you. You are your own person and someday I hope everyone will that" he tells me while giving me a warm smile that showed off his kind brown eyes.

The man as I came see was around his late teens with a scar running across the top of his nose with his brown hair up in a ponytail. "You are a very nice person mister," I tell him with a smile on my bruised face snuggling deeper into his arms finally starting to feel safe in his warm embrace.

"Thank you, but you can call me Iruka if you like. What's your name?" he asked.

"My names Naruko Uzumaki," I tell him.

"Well Naruko it's very nice to meet you," he tells me

"Like wise Iruka sensei," I say when I see his Chunin uniform.

"Now come on let's get you to the hospital," he said. " I know your grandmother and grandfather are worried sick about you."

"That's right grandma expected me home hours ago. I hope she's not mad at me," I say in a low voice.

"Lady Kaede is not mad at you just worried," Iruka sensei replied.

When we got out of the forest we ran into Dog and Cat who looked physically sick when they saw my bloody and bruised body.

"Oh My God! What happened to you Naruko!" Cat cried she running over to me gently lifting me of Iruka's arms.

"I was attacked by a couple of men on my way home," I tell her.

"Come on I'm taking you to the hospital right now," Cat stated taking off in the direction of the hospital leaving Dog and Iruka sensei behind.

When Cat landed in front of the hospital Grandma was already outside waiting for is and came running over to us breaking out into tears once she saw my battered body.

"Dear God how could this have happened to you," Cried my Grandmother as she wrapped me into her arms and rushed me inside.

She then took me to an examination room were she checked me over and then started treating my wounds.

That night will forever hunt me, but I had my family to take care of me so it got better over time, but thanks to the attack I met Iruka Sensei and that to me makes the whole thing worth it.

( End of Flashback)

That night was over a year ago, but it still hunts her, but she refuses to let the night take over her life. She just stays focused on her studies and doesn't think about it much anymore just on some occasions.

Being so lost in thought Naruko didn't notice she bumped into someone until she hit the ground. Looking up about to apologize to the person she bumped into she got hit over the head with a broom.

"You damn monster get out of here now," screamed the man she ran into.

Naruko tried to get up when he started to hitting her with the broom preventing her from getting up. The commotion the man started caused a group of people to surround them.

"What's going on here?" asked a man from the group of people around them.

"This brat here tried to steel from my store," accused the man looking outraged.

This caused the people around them to glare at Naruko because they believed the man and his bogus lie. The outrageous lie caused Naruko's blood to boil in rage for being called a theft.

"That's a lie! I was not stealing anything from him. I was just walking by when this jackass hit me with his broom," she screamed pointing an accusing finger at the man.

The people looked outraged that Naruko had called a member of the village a liar and decided to punish her by beating her up. She tried to brake free of their attacks and when she did she ran away as fast as she could.

Naruko started dashing through the streets of village trying to out run the angry mob behind her. Looking around frantically for an escape route she saw an alleyway and dashed down it, but soon found out it was a dead end. She started to panic trying to find another escape route through her blood filled eyes and soon caught sight of a low hanging leader and started climbing up it. When she was up the leader she pulled it up and hid in the shadows of the wall.

The angry mob entered the alleyway and started looking around for her and when they couldn't find her they gave up and started looking else where. When she thought the cost was clear she climbed to the top of the building and climbed on to the roof.

"Man that was so close they almost got me," Naruko sais out loud breathing a sigh of relief.

"I'll say," says a voice from nowhere.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
