Hello, i used to write some stories a while ago and thought of an idea of what to write, this is just a little bit of it because if people don't want to read it than I'm not going to bother.

Enjoy

Naruto wouldn't give up; he never did. No matter what life threw at him, he always got back up and never quit. Tonight was different from most.

Naruto lay in a cold, dark alley covered in blood; he wanted to give up; he never wanted the pain and suffering to end as much as tonight, curled in a ball, crying for it all to stop, but it fell on deaf ears. The citizens, the people Naruto was told to protect, were carrying out their so-called "Divine Punishment." What was he being punished for? Why was he being called a "Demon"? He was used to that word; however, after hearing it so many times, he had grown accustomed to it.

After some time, everything stopped. There were no more cries of a "Demon," just silence. Naruto looked around as best he could in the state he was in. As usual, he saw four dark figures wearing white masks. They followed him around everywhere he went, that is, until

tonight. Where had they been?

Naruto didn't care anymore. Whenever the citizens attacked him, his guards were never there. They didn't care about him. He had expected this; most people hated him, but something told Naruto there was someone far more important. He tilted his head through the pain to see someone else in white robes with flames on the end, who stood as the Hokage of the Village Hidden in the Leaves.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage of Konoha, the God of Shinobi all too well. He looked down at Naruto with something that wasn't love or sadness; it was pity. Naruto had also gotten used to the look the Third Hokage gave him whenever he saw him.

Naruto was on his way to the hospital, roaming the streets of Konoha and looking at everything the shops had. He ignored the stares and murmurs from the villagers he always did, but he had a reason for today: He was going for his medical examination to see if his body could handle becoming a Ninja.

Naruto, being young, had no idea what kind of test this would be, but he was excited nonetheless. He arrived at the hospital late as usual, and as usual, the Third Hokage was there to greet him, a smile on his face, and the only person who didn't treat him like the rest. There was always love in his eyes. "Come, Naruto, my boy, let's get your tests done. We'll make a Ninja out of you yet," Hiruzen warmly said as he guided Naruto through the vast

corridors of the hospital.

Naruto couldn't help but notice the countless shinobi around the hospital; Some were getting checkups while others looked like they were in agony; he wondered how they ended up like that, but soon enough Naruto came upon a door at the end of the hallway that made him forget about the screams coming from the hospital, "We are here Naruto, I cant go in with you but ill be right out here," Hiruzen said gesturing towards the now open door, Naruto sprung up and hugged the old Hokage, "Thanks Gramps, Im gonna become the most powerful Ninja, Believe it!" Naruto announced, getting a few stares from going by.

Hiruzen chucked as Naruto went into the evaluation room and grabbed his pipe; while smoking in a hospital isn't allowed, no one can stop the village leader.

Naruto hopped onto the bed as instructed and was on his best behaviour; the Doctor ran all sorts of tests, from blood tests to strange tests on his belly, where he noticed a big swirl, "What's that thing on my belly, Mr. Doctor?" Naruto asked; the Doctor looked away but composed himself; he wasn't expecting to have to answer that but just said the first thing that came to mind, "That is just a scar from when you were born," the Doctor replied, 'A scar that was the best thing you could come up with, Lord Hokage is gonna kill me for this,' the Doctor cursed at himself but got back to work.

There was one final test to run, the Chakra System Evaluation, a test to see how strong your chakra coils are; most kids Naruto's age didn't have their chakra coils yet; however, all prodigies would have developed their chakra coils or have even trained them, the Doctor turned Naruto around and placed both of his palms on his back, Naruto felt a strange feeling flowing in his body, and just as it started it had stopped, the Doctor turned Naruto around naruto immediately noticed the face the Doctor had, it wasn't a pleasant one, Naruto was about to ask some questions but was taken out of the room while the Hokage followed the

Doctor back into the room.

Naruto couldnt take the silence and put his ear to the door to listen to the conversation, "So how did the tests go, good im assuming," the Hokage said eager to hear the results, the Doctor just sighed, "Its not good Lord Hokage, it seems that because of his 'tenant' his chakra coils are almost completely destroyed, they can be repaired so that he can use some chakra but," there was quite a long pause but Hiruzen was a patient man he had to be to be the leader of a village, "Naruto cannot expel Chakra from his body, at least not far enough to use any Ninjutsu, ive only seen 1 other case like this and that from a kid named Rock Lee but he cant use Chakra at all, so there is still some chance of him being a shinobi," the Doctor informed the Hokage of the news, after which there was a long pause until the silence was broken, "Thank you Doctor," Hiruzen said already reaching for the doorknob, when the door was opened he was met with a crying Naruto looking up at him, he felt sorry for the boy but even he knew that the power of a jinchuriki was needed for the protection of the village, he also knew that if Naruto cant expel chakra from his body there was no way he would be able to master the power, and he didnt need Naruto hearing anything more about what he holds.

Naruto looked up at Hiruzen, looking for answers, looking for hope that his dream would still happen. All he saw from the old Hokage was pity; he will remember that face forever. The only person he cared about, who treated him differently, only pitied the broken child.

This had destroyed Naruto. He had barely left his small apartment for weeks after being told the news, then for months as he went through an endless cycle of waking up, eating, showering when he had the motivation, and sleeping. Then those months turned to a year, and soon 2 years had passed since the news

Present

Naruto stared at the Hokage with no love left for him; after a year, the old mans visits had become rarer to the point he only saw him once a month for his monthly check, "what have you gotten yourself into now? Naruto," the Hokage said, "Just another headache for me to clean up, Hound take him to the hospital and clean up this mess," the Hokage said. As soon as he was there, he was gone; he then stood face to face with a white-masked ninja with some crazy white hair; the man scooped him up, and in a flash, he was at the hospital. He didn't notice much with the injuries, but he was more or less used to it. Naruto was put on a bed, and for a second, the Anbu seemed to hesitate. Still, he quickly left; Naruto was left alone back at his second home, pondering how he wished things would change.

Outside the hospital

Hound sat atop the hospital roof and took his mask off, something Anbu didn't do while on duty; he didn't care; he was mad at himself, the village, and his leader. How could they do this to a child, especially his Sensei's child, the son of Konoha's Hero? It wasn't right. Hound had always been a part of his protection detail. However, he couldn't always be there, and it seemed everything bad happened when he wasn't there. Something wasn't right with that.

He didn't ponder too long on it as he assumed it was his usual bad luck that killed everyone he loved; he wondered how he could help Naruto, even though he knew how low of a chance it would be for him to become a shinobi, he had to do something, someone had to believe in him, And if no one would it would have to be him, "I won't let you down this time Minato-Sensei.
