Pain, sorrow, repeat.
Note: I do not own Naruto. These characters are from their respective universes. Also note that this story is one year before the actual start of Naruto.
Naruto Alarm rang at 6 in the morning. He woke up groggy to sleep. He wanted to just fall back into his bed and sleep until he felt like waking up. But he couldn't, he had to go to the academy. The alarm kept on blaring until. Naruto stretched his arms and legs. He found some strength to stop the alarm. Naruto got up from his bed rubbing his eyes. His room was a mess. Dirty clothes everywhere,ramen packets on the floor, and there was a really bad smell.
"This smell ughh, I will clean the place when I will get back" Naruto said this the whole week but never did. Naruto was going to get ready to go to the academy. He was going to his closet trying not to step on his dirty clothes. When he got to his closet, Naruto put on his usual orange jumpsuit and blue sandals like always. Naruto was going to throw his dirty clothes into his room, but the smell made him rethink. To not make the smell worse he put his clothes into the hamper.
Naruto finished changing. He went to the kitchen to see if there was anything to eat. He did not have any ramen left. He didn't buy groceries yesterday even though he was low on food.
He went to his fridge and checked inside
"Ahh dang it!' There was nothing inside the fridge.
"I guess I'll go hungry" Naruto checked the time. He still had a lot of time on his hand. He had an hour until the academy would start. He decided to go to his room and watch some television. He made it back to his room and turned on the tv. He went through channels until he found a channel about fighting. He loved this kind of stuff.
He sat there for a couple minutes
"Maybe I should clean up this mess" His room was incredibly dirty. You could steal air from his room and use it for chemical warfare. Naruto decided to do it since it was bothering him greatly. He started by grabbing his clothes off the floor. Naruto was about to puke once he smelled his clothes up close. Naruto put his jumpsuit above his nose. Naruto kept going and going.
It was taking way too long for Naruto to decide to pick all of his clothes in one big pile. It was very heavy for Naruto. It was also very hard to balance, He made his way moving in zig zags so he could balance out the weight of the clothes. It was so heavy for Naruto in fact it fell right before he got to his closet. Naruto Sighed, He was close enough to get his clothes in his hamper in a very short time.
He opened his closet door and started to grab his clothes in big clumps and put them in his hamper. Naruto was so tired he wanted to sleep. He forgot about everything he just wanted to sleep. Naruto made his way to his room and fell face first onto the bed mattres. Naruto woke up and took a 3 hour nap. He missed half of the day at the academy. He Ran to his counter and grabbed the keys that were laying on it. He ran straight to the door. He locked the door from the inside and closed it. He went outside and ran out of the apartment complex. He made his way to the streets. The villagers looked at him like they always did. They looked at him with rage and anger. He hated that look,
"Why do they always look at me like that? I never did anything to them to hate me." Naruto felt like he should just jump off a cliff and die. That's probably what the villagers wanted. Naruto took a look back, and bumped into 2 chunin ninjas
"Oh look it's that dumb kid"
"Let's have some fun. We have a lot of free time" The chunin Looked at naruto with a frightening look. The ninja cracked his knuckles
"Come on guys please don't do this!" Naruto begged to the two chunin
"Oh we'll do what we want." The chunin grabbed Naruto by his jumpsuit and lifted him up. Naruto tried to free himself by kicking the chunin with his feet.
"Stop it you stupid kid!" The other chunin punched him in the gut. Naruto groaned in pain
"Please leave me alone!" Naruto begged crying
"Oh look the Babys crying, Womp womp, we don't care we will do what we want" They kept Punching and kicking Naruto. Naruto kept on crying, "please someone help!" Naruto said in his mind. Eventually, an old guy with a cooking outfit came and yelled.
"HEY YOU TWO LEAVE THAT KID ALONE!"
"Oh shit! Let's get out of here" The two chunin said to each other. They quickly left the scene. Naruto looked up to see who was saving him. It was Teuchi.
"Hey Naruto, are you okay?" Teuchi asked in a worried tone
"For the most part Yeah" Naruto groaned in pain and tried to cover his body. Naruto tried to get up but fell on the floor.
"Come on naruto get on my back"
"Are you sure old ma-" Naruto groaned in pain, his stomach felt like it was being smashed into pieces by a hammer.
"I mean aren't you too old"
"Naruto I'll be fine just get on."
"Alright" Naruto with the rest of his strength jumped on Teuchi's back. Teuchi carried Naruto back to his store. He sat Naruto on the red seat. Naruto put his head down on the table. Teuchi got started on making ramen for Naruto. Ayame saw Naruto, He was all bruised up his jumpsuit destroyed
"Dad what happened to Naruto?"
"Some stupid bastards were beating him up, I scared them off and brought Naruto here"
"Why do they do that? He doesn't deserve it!"
"I know I don't understand either." Teuchi and Ayame stopped talking. Teuchi finished up making rame
"Hey Naruto!" Naruto looked up "This one's on the house eat up"
"Thanks!" Naruto tried to eat but he felt pain every time he ate. Naruto ate slower than usual. Either way he finished the ramen pretty fast.
"Thanks old man! I will make my way home now"
"Wait, Naruto aren't you supposed to be in the academy?"
"Yeah, I overslept 3 hours and I made my way there but this happened." Naruto said with a sad look in his eyes.
"Well why don't you go?"
"I don't want to anymore"
"Oh" Teuchi said quietly, He understood, his day was ruined, he had a bad start and was beat up. Naruto walked his way to his house. The villagers gave him the same look they always do . some of the villagers had a satisfied look. Probably because he was beaten up, "These bastards want me dead," Naruto said in his head with a sad tone. He didn't want to be looked at with this look so he hurried to the apartment complex. It wasn't far. Naruto ran as fast as he could. He made it to the apartment complex and ran up the stairs and went to his room. He reached down in his pockets and grabbed his keys and opened the door. Went to his room and jumped onto his bed and cried
"Why does everyone hate me!?" he shed tears like he never did before.
"They all want me dead!" He shed even more tears.
"I just wanted to be loved and accepted!" This continued until Naruto fell asleep crying.
Naruto woke up at 4:37 PM. He was starving. He went to his counter that was right next to his bed. He opened the drawer and took his frog wallet. He had enough money for a box of ramen and that's exactly what he was going to buy. He got up from his bed and got up and headed towards his door. He opened the door and left his house. He was heading towards the supermarket close to his apartment complex.
He went down the complex's stairs. He went down and was in the street. He took a left and went straight for 5 minutes and was standing in front of the supermarket. He went inside. Everyone inside glanced at him and gave him the one look he hated. He looked away from them and tried to find his ramen. After looking through the aisles he found his ramen. He found chicken flavored ramen.
"Classic," Naruto said to himself. He grabbed it and went to the checkout. He made his way. Everyone stood clear of Naruto. Although he hated it no one was in line because of him which sped up the process. The cashier checked it out and Naruto left the store and made his way back. He walked for a bit and saw the apartment complex. He went up the stairs and back into his apartment
Naruto put the box in the kitchen and opened it up. He grabbed the small cup and opened it. Grabbed a pot and put water on it. He turned on the stove and started to boil the water. He waited for a while until the water started to boil. When the water boiled he put some of the boiling water on his cup until it was full. He waited for a bit until it was done. Once it was ready he swallowed it in 2 seconds. He felt satisfied after that. He had nothing to really do and he had 4 hours until he would go to sleep. He was bored so he went to watch television. He stayed there until he lost track and slept soundly.
Naruto woke up to the sound of his alarm. Naruto, not wanting to repeat what happened yesterday Turned off the alarm and got off of his bed. He went to his closet and changed his clothes into his Normal orange jumpsuit. He looked back and looked at his room although it was still dirty. There was not any trash on the floor. Naruto made himself a ramen cup and chugged it down. He checked the clock and he saw that he had an hour like yesterday. Naruto Decided to go to the academy early to avoid any problems like yesterday. He walked down the village and every villager saw Naruto and looked at him with hatred like always. Everytime this would enrage Naruto a little bit more every day. Naruto walked down a little bit more until he saw the two chunin from yesterday.
Naruto gulped.
"Oh it's that cunt from yesterday" One of the chunin said
"This time there won't be anyone to save you" The chunin let out a maniacal laugh. Naruto backed away a little bit and charged at them
"You won't do shit!" The chunin said
"Oh I know!" Naruto slid under their legs and ran as fast as he could to go to the academy. He jumped on a roof. He looked back only one shinobi was following him
"Where is the other one?" He looked forward to seeing the other chunin in front of him. The chunin kicked Naruto off the 3 story building. The chunin realized what he had done and fled the scene to not get caught. Naruto with his last piece of consciousness said
"They don't care about me, They care about themselves. They left me here" Naruto's voice got weaker and weaker as he said that until his consciousness left him. Naruto woke up everywhere hurt he felt as if his bones were shattered.
"How did I survive?" Naruto said in a weak voice. Either way he pushed through, almost going unconscious many times.w He made his way to the academy he walked and walked he didn't notice the villagers look. They looked at him with pleasure seeing him injured. He made it to the academy and everyone was outside. It was recess, Naruto opened the gates and saw Sakura.
Naruto walked over to her. He waved his hand at her.
"Hey sakura! Do you want to spend some time together?"
"No Naruto, I have plans with Sasuke." "Sasuke, where are you?" she said in a girlish tone. Naruto stayed quiet and looked down. He was saddened that not even someone he cared about wanted him. Naruto walked over to the swing where he always was when he was sad. He sat on the swing and rested his head on the rope.
"Why why why" He shed a tear "No one wants me or cares about me" he shed silent tears "How much longer can I do this." Naruto Waited until Iruka told everyone to come back inside. Iruka noticed Naruto and went up to him
"Naruto, you think you can skip school and skip half of this day, what's wrong with you!" Iruka didn't notice his bruises and destroyed jumpsuit. Seeing Naruto hurt made him happy and sad at the same time. He despised him for being the jinchuriki of the beast that killed his parents but still he was a human.
"Sorry sensei it's be-"
"No excuses get back inside" Naruto started to tear up but held his ters. Naruto went inside and went through the halls into their classroom. Naruto went through his classroom and went up the stairs to his seat. He put his head down and didn't pay attention; he just sat there filled with sorrow and pain both physically and mentally. Iruka saw Naruto and called him out.
"Naruto!" Iruka said
"What?" he responded
"Stay awake or you will be kicked out of the classroom." Iruka said in an angry tone. Naruto was already at his breaking point; he couldn't handle being mistreated.
"I'll kick myself out" Naruto abruptly got up and stormed out of the classroom.
"Naruto Get back here!" Naruto didn't say anything and ran through the hall and out of the front door. He sprinted as fast as he could outside and into the streets avoiding everyone in his sight. He ran and ran and his vision started to give up. His body was aching in pain. He still was injured by falling off the roof. Naruto gave up and fell on the floor. He felt weak, his body couldn't go anymore. He looked up and saw his apartment complex in the distance. Naruto couldn't move, but he was still awake. He was on the street. Lying on the floor.
Iruka left the classroom to go search for him. He searched around the academy but found nothing. He went out into the streets and got up on a roof to get a better view. He looked around more but saw nothing. He went through some alleyways and turned up nothing. He decided that Naruto went home. He went down onto the street and walked towards the apartment complex Naruto lives in.
"Ugh that dumb naruto is always causing trouble! But you wouldn't sasuke. And on top of that you are smart and handsome" sakura said
"Hey! Back off, Sasuke mines an egg head!"
"No Ino-pig Sasuke mine!" Sasuke sighed and was annoyed at the two of them. Sakura noticed this
"Hey Ino-pig back off, you're anyonning my Sasuke!"
"He's not yours. Who would want you with that huge forehead of yours!"
"Back off you are all annoying" Sasuke said in a menacing tone. The two girls froze in shock. Sakura felt as if her heart was ripped out of her chest. "I'm annoying? Bu- bu- but how?" she said in her head in a sad tone. "DAMN IT! THIS EGG HEAD RUINED MY CHANCES WITH SASUKE!" Ino yelled in her mind.
Iruka walked up to Naruto's apartment complex. He saw Naruto on the floor. He had just noticed his bruises and destroyed jumpsuit.
"Was he that bruised before" he muttered, He walked up to Naruto.
"Naruto what happened"
"Wouldn't you like to know!" Naruto's body couldn't handle any more stress on his body. He coughed up blood when he tried to speak.
"Naruto, I'm taking you to the hospital" Naruto wanted to resist but his body was too weak. Naruto went unconscious. Naruto woke up in a bed with a hard mattress. The room was filled with fluorescent lights. Naruto was at a hospital. Naruto tried to get up but his body couldn't move. He stayed there until someone came through the door. It was the hospital attendent
"Oh, so you woke up, anyways you can stay here until you feel better we fixed your wounds you will be fine, you might have pain but that's it. And also you were resting in here for a day just to let you know
"Oh uhm, well can I go?"
"Yes, and I will check you out, you don't have to wait"
"Thanks" Naruto got out of his bed and walked out. He went to the dim long hallway. He walked for a bit and got to the went down and got to the reception room. He walked through the room and stepped out the doors. He looked down to his body and he had bandages everywhere. He walked more and took a left and walked through the street he hated going through. Everyone was in this street. He was on main street. There were shops everywhere.
Naruto started to speed walk. He could hear villagers whispering his name. He went through a fruit shop and people threw tomatoes and apples at him. Naruto shed tears and ran through as fast as he could. His body was still recovering. It still hurts. Naruto tried to dodge some of them. He went out of the street taking a right on a shaped street; this was a shortcut to his apartment complex. He took the right and the villagers were nowhere to be seen. He sighed in relief. Naruto hated that his life was the meaning of mistreatment. He walked up the stairs to his apartment. He opened the door and went inside and ate some of his newly bought Ramen. With time on his hand he went to his room and watched some shows. After 2 hours of watching, Naruto looked behind his curtains to see that the sun was still up and shining.
"I Have a ton of time on my hands. I Don't want to just spend my day here doing nothing?" Naruto wasn't really good at his ninja skills so he decided to train. He exited his apartment and went to the nearest training field. He went to the forest to train. Once he was out he started to train his taijutsu by kicking and punching a tree. Naruto bid this for a while experimenting with some combos but only one thing was missing. He did not have someone to train with or to correct his mistakes. He did not know if he was doing anything right.
Naruto did this for a while until his fists started to bruise up, swell up and bleed. He took a quick rest contemplating his life's meaning "You know maybe if I just be the person I am and be nice people will try and like me. But no one wants to go near me. Hey I mean I don't know until I try, I will do that tomorrow though after training." Naruto started to train his kunai and shuriken throwing and he made himself a dummy of sticks. He grabbed his kunai out of his pockets. He threw one, And it was completely off target. It went into one of the nearby bushes. Naruto was embarrassed with himself.
"I mean practice makes perfect," he said to himself. He trained even harder but his training was cut short since he lost all of his kunai.
"Damn! I am an embarrassment to the people and myself" he said. He walked home, he was pissed mad and embarrassed with himself. He couldn't believe how shitty he was and this pissed him off. On top of that no one wanted him. No one cared, loved or even accepted Naruto's existence. They all wanted him gone or dead. He stormed off to his apartment complex. He walked through the streets fuming with himself. He went to the apartment complex, went up the stairs and went to his door, opened the door, went inside and slammed the door shut.
"WHY AM I SUCH A FUCKING DISSAPOINTMENT I SHOULD BE DEAD NO ONE CARES ABOUT NOT EVEN THE PEOPLE I CARE ABOUT" HE yelled in his mind and cried and cried. Until he slept. He woke up early in the morning. It was Saturday and he didn't have anything to do. He remembered that he was going to try and make friends. He got out of his bed. And went to his closet. He changed out of his pajamas into his normal orange jumpsuit. He got out of his room, went to his front door and opened it. He went outside and closed the door behind him. He went down the stairs and walked down the street. He went to find people his age. He found someone. He waved to the person.
"Hey hi!"
"Get away from me you are a monster!"
"What? No, i just wanted to ask if you wanted to play football/soccer
"No! Get away from me before I tell my parents!"
"Fine" Naruto backed away. He couldn't even talk to people without being outcasted. "Why I don't even do anything to them and I am hated, man fuck this. I aint doing shit no more" He walked over back to his apartment. Naruto walked through the streets to the apartment complex. Once he was there he went up the stairs into his apartment and entered. He closed the door behind him. "I'm not welcome here, why am I here!? I will do this village a favor and leave!" Naruto grabbed all of his jumpsuits and put them into his school backpack. He went over to the kitchen and put some ramen cups in his bag. His bag was getting full.
But he still needed water. He opened the fridge he had put a lot of water bottles in yesterday. The reason was because on the news it said on sunday it would reach 108* degrees. It didn't matter. He stored all the water bottles in his backpack. He went to his storage room and grabbed kunai and shuriken for protection. While he was storing it he looked up and saw a journal. To Give him something to do along his journey he grabbed it along with 4 pens for good measure. He went back to his room and set it right next to his bed.
Naruto was not going to leave right now but during midnight. He grabbed his tv remote and turned on his tv to kill time. He was on channel 134. This channel was Naruto's favorite. It was about a hero who despite being an outcast like him still became the strongest person and vowed to protect those closest to him. He wanted to be like the hero but he never could. Everyone wouldn't even dare to look at him.
He watched the episode where the hero was having a clash with his rival that became power hungry to be the strongest. He had a huge fight with him. The battle was epic, filling Naruto with excitement. He watched more episodes until it became dark. He put on his back pack and stepped out of his apartment complex. He climbed up on the rooftop. Once he was up on top he looked to the village
"Goodbye I'm doing what you guys want" He went and jumped from rooftop to rooftop. He was heading to the gates.
