Have a good time of the day! You probably thought that I left you again, didn't you? ... although, in general, that's what happened... Heck!

Simply put, I have moved away from the sphere of life where I translated my Russian-language stories to you on the platform. Is it possible to make you doubt my competence in relation to you? Yes, you have the right to do so. But then let me translate my whole story for you a little bit, these are only 8 of the total 18 chapters of the story, and I would like to translate it completely for you.

But before I start, I want to address the user ZoyeZest, who recently left a review of my work with an interesting suggestion, please look down

Good afternoon, dear ZoyeZest user. I saw your review of my work a long time ago, which I partially translated (there are as many as 18 chapters in it, and I translated only 8 for you) and I will continue soon.

As for your proposal, I was very interested in it. Of course, I have repeatedly heard in the reviews of my work on the original site that it looks very much like a retelling of a comic book, then it can be considered a compliment, and some of your work surprised me a lot, but I'm afraid I'm not able to somehow pay you for your work, because I don't have any electronic cards, transactions or other electronic payment options (which of course may confuse someone a lot, but not me).

So, I'm sorry, but unfortunately I have to decline your offer. Of course, I can create a account specifically for this purpose, and send the money received from it to this business, but I do not know your prices. So maybe this is the final path for your proposal.

It was three o'clock in the morning. Usually, many people are asleep at this time. And someone is doing their own business, which they did not have time to do in the afternoon. There are those who try not to fall asleep, for example, at the guard post. And there are those who are trying their best to fall asleep, but something prevents them: either illness or insomnia, or maybe because of nightmares. Let's fast forward to a familiar place.

At this time, our team is sleeping after a hard day. The snake, wrapped in his blanket, curled up in a ball. Tarantula, instead of just lying down, fell asleep on her back, forgetting to take off her headphones, which were still playing calm music. A shark that had to sleep on the floor because of its size. Lying on an uncomfortable floor, he compensates by sleeping in an embrace with a large teddy bear. The piranha lies on its stomach and snores peacefully, it does not get uncomfortable. A wolf who sleeps with his arms outstretched and snores like an elephant, but does not bother anyone. They were all fast asleep. Except for one of them.

Naruto was writhing in his sleep. Without stopping, he turned over on his left side, then on his right. His tail was darting back and forth, and his chest was feverishly rising and falling. He said some vague words, the meaning of which we would not understand. He was having a nightmare. The nightmare that haunted him every year on the same day.

FlashBack. Japan.

It was the middle of the night. The wind howled softly, but at the same time unevenly. Japan, where life was no less active at night than at night. Many people would hurry to be at home, in their cozy bed. But what about those who have nowhere to go?

Naruto walked under the shadows of the houses so that no one would notice him. For him, bumping into some drunken resident at night was a huge danger. He was sneaking around, afraid that someone would notice him. He intended to find somewhere to hide where he could sleep. Naruto could have spent the night somewhere in the trash cans or somewhere else. But, strangely enough, the night was cold and gloomy. Looking around, he hoped that I could go my way without any consequences. Unfortunately, this plan was not destined to happen.

The little fox turned into an alley. Of course, he was afraid of them, because for him it could end sadly. He walked non-stop in the hope of finding a way out, but found only a dead end.

— A dead end? I don't remember him being here. Apparently, it was recently built. We need to turn around! — I thought about it and started to leave. But suddenly something hit him on the head. The blow was not strong, but it was enough for the Fox to fall to the ground. Not realizing what it had just been, he tried to get up, but someone grabbed him by the hair. Someone picked him up, and it turned out to be a drunken resident. A lump formed in the Fox's throat, which seemed to prevent him from breathing. He looked at the human who was still holding him. His eyes began to examine his victim, and a nasty smile appeared on his face.

— And who is it we have here? Did the demon himself come to his death?! – He laughed.

— Yes, that's him. The one! — the second person who came out behind him supported him.

— This is luck! To meet a demon all alone! — said the third one, who appeared behind the boy.

— What are we going to do with him? The second one asked.

"I have a very tempting idea,— the first one replied.

"What's your idea?" A third asked.

— We will become heroes who have rid our land of the demon! — The first one said proudly, glaring at the Fox.

"Are you suggesting we kill him?" The second one asked.

The thought made the Fox panic. The fact that he might just be killed drove him into fear.

— Exactly, my friends! We are going to kill him in order to free our brothers and sisters from fear! — the first one answered. The other two had a smile on their face.

— No! For what?! What have I done to you?! — the little fox began to cry, but they immediately closed his mouth.

"You weren't given your word, demon! The third man answered angrily, keeping the boy's mouth closed.

— Let's get started! — said the first one and struck the Fox in the face. The tears started flowing faster, but it's not the end.

— It's my turn! — the second one came up and stabbed knee in the stomach. This caused the air to leave the boy for a moment.

— And now I am! The third picked him up and threw him to the ground. The fall was painful, but he held on. The third one started to approach him, but stopped and looked at the tail.

— You know what? I have a better idea! — and trampled his tail. There was a crunch, and the boy began to scream in agony.

— Good shot, my friend! — the first praised the third.

— I always try! The third replied.

The second one came up to the boy and grabbed him by the hair. Raising his head, he said a few words to him.

— This is for everything! — and slammed his face into the ground. There was a crunch of a nose breaking, but he did not stop and raised it again.

— And this is just for you, from me! — and slammed his face into the ground again. Blood dripped on the ground, which flowed from a wound on his forehead. The fox cub started to scream harder, but he was shut up again.

— And this is the last! — all three of them took it together. Each struck at the same time, which damaged his bones, but did not break. And then they just threw him against the wall, where he hit the back of his head hard.

His vision began to swim, and he could hear a dull noise in his ears. When he came to his senses, he looked at the three people who were looking at him with disgust.

— Why are you doing this to me? — he said in a barely audible voice.

— Do you want to know the answer? — the first one asked.

He walked up to him, squatted down, grabbed his chin and told him right in his face.

"You're nobody in this world!" You have no right to live here, you damn demon! — I took his head and slammed it into the wall. — No one loves or respects you here! Because you're nobody! "he hit me on the head, where the blood came from. — Remember it once and for all! Here you are not a living being, but just a thing! You're a pet in a cage! YOU ARE A SLAVE OF THIS WORLD! — I hit him in the face, blood gushed from his forehead and poured onto his face. The man put his face to his ear. "And know that it will always be like this and there's nothing you can do about it," he said quietly and walked away to his friends.

Naruto listened to his every word. The whole world turned bloody because of the blood. He wondered why they were doing this to him. I wanted to cry, very much. I wanted to be somewhere else. He wanted to die.

"What have I done?" he wondered.

I thought about what I would do in this situation. He was going to die, but he didn't care. They considered him a slave, and there was nothing he could do about it.

"Why exactly do I deserve such a fate? What have I done to deserve such a life? For what?!" he shouted in his mind. "Why should I be the one to endure such a life?! To be nothing to others?!" — his thoughts were in a fog.

I've felt fear all my life. He's tired of it!

Suddenly, instead of fear, I felt emptiness. Then something else began to fill the same void. Red and burning filled my thoughts. For some reason, it was a pleasure.

"I'm tired of living like this! I want them to stop hating me someday!"

A strange feeling filled the mind, slowly absorbing its owner.

"I don't want to be afraid anymore! To be afraid that these villagers will kill me some day!"

Without noticing it, I stopped feeling pain. His body was filled with energy.

"I HATE THEM!"

He stood up abruptly, which attracted the attention of those residents.

— Oh, it looks like someone wants more?! A third asked.

— And he's going to get it! — the second one supported.

— Let's get to the final part! — the first one ordered.

Naruto could hear their disgusting laughter. This made him even more furious. He unknowingly got on all fours, and a growl came from his mouth. I looked at them. The whole world seemed even redder.

—I'll kill you!" he shouted in a non—human voice and attacked the first one. He did not expect an attack.

— What the fuck is this... — I didn't have time to finish, as everything began to swim.

What happened was left in the fog. Naruto, being consumed by hatred, did not know what he was doing. The only thing he wanted was to make the bad guys answer for what they had done. He liked to bring pain. But soon, instead of screams of hatred, I heard pleas for mercy. His mind was returning, revealing an eerie picture in front of him.

The three hooligans who had recently wanted him dead were already moving away from him. There were mutilations and torn skin on their bodies.

"Demon, don't come near me!" A third man shouted. He had scratches on his legs, and blood was flowing profusely in the place where his torso was.

"Look, a scarlet demon with razor—sharp claws wants to kill us!" — the second one shouted. There were numerous wounds on his chest, especially on his body and stomach.

"His eyes are as red as blood itself, staring into my soul!" — the first one shouted. A piece of skin was torn off on his face, and there was a cut above his eye. But the most noticeable injury was the bite marks on the neck, from where scarlet blood was dripping. He felt an unpleasant taste in his mouth. It must have been blood.

He looked at them, and they ran away, leaving traces of blood behind them. But no one will believe them in this!

Naruto fell to his knees, clutching his head with his hands.

— What have I done?! I didn't want to Injure them! I just wanted them to answer for their words!

Lowering his hands, he noticed that the claws were long and sharp, and blood was dripping from them. Then the claws returned to their former size.

Naruto began to breathe feverishly. Eyes darted everywhere. He began to shake. He crippled them. He didn't want that.

— No! He shouted into the sky.

End FlashBack.

— no! Shouting that word, Naruto woke up in a profuse sweat. He began to look around him and saw that he was safe.

— Naruto, what happened? — asked the Wolf, who woke up because of the scream.

- Yes! What happened? — The Tarantula woke up, and so did everyone else.

— Naruto, are you okay? What's wrong with you? — The Shark was worried. They gathered around him.

— Naruto, look into my eyes, — the Wolf asked. The fox calmed down.

—I'm sorry, it's just a nightmare," the Fox replied.

—Fox, if you just need to talk, then say it,— said the Snake.

— Yes, we are always ready to help you – Piranha supported.

Naruto didn't say anything. He was scared. I didn't want to be in that dream again. Then I felt someone's arms around me. It turned out to be friends who began to calm him down. Little by little, but it helped.

— Brother, what kind of nightmare did you have? Wolf asked.

"I was dreaming about my old life,— he replied simply.

The wolf nodded. They knew almost nothing about his past life. All they knew was that she was terrible.

— Naruto, don't be afraid, we're with you. We will never leave you! — said the Tarantula.

— She's right! We will never leave you in trouble! — others supported her.

Naruto was looking at his friends. To him, they were one big family.

— Thank you guys for always being ready to support me. I really appreciate it," he replied.

— Good! If everything is in order, then let's go back to sleep! — said the Snake. The others agreed. Everyone started falling back asleep.

— Naruto, if you get scared again, then this teddy bear will help you fall asleep! — said the Shark and gave the bear to him.

— Thanks, Shark. It will help me," said the Fox.

Everyone fell asleep again. The fox began to think about the nightmare.

"It was a long time ago, and I don't remember what happened to me that day. The only thing I remember is that I was consumed by anger," he reflected.

Having stopped thinking, he grabbed the teddy bear tighter and fell asleep.
