Bitter Scars (Naruto-fanfic)

Chapter 1: Homeless

“I have dinner with the ladies later, clean up the house, wash the dishes, do the laundry and get back to the cell, if you disobey any of them, you know what happens”

The ‘father’ who was merely a hunter-nin that relied on the clan i destroyed, was what i was supposed to call him, said I have to do everything he says or I’ll be ‘thrown away to the dogs to feed’, and I know better than to offend the said socialized, ‘Kamikage’ that everyone admires, I then was entrusted to him as I was told by him, “Nobody wants a kid like you, the monster in you killed more than half of us, who would want to get killed? Hahaha but you’re just a kid now; you’ll just have to listen to me from now on”

I was to complete this within 5days,

The head of the hunter-nin made me kill his personal troop that he choose from other village and ordered them to kill me or die, likewise, he told me to kill all of them, or die and the 75 of us were locked in one room which ended in 2days instead of 5, I had to kill all of them with my heavy subconscious and I let that beast to ‘protect’ me for a day, while I took some lessons from the demon itself to kill the last 20 on the arena , I learn how to do tricks and new techniques.  Thus I learnt from experience they were at ANBU level, apparently, it was a trap to make me kill of them and become this countries war weapon.

I already suffered a few broken bones, a few scars reopened, as they close and reopen every time I fight, at first, Ookami could repair my broken ribs and wounds but as it keeps reopening, ookami couldn’t erase the deep scars, thus I said that he should leave it alone,

I made a pact with the demon, he told me that he killed what was important to me but he wasn’t regretful about it, instead, he deemed me as someone who was even stronger than anyone he’d seen before as a 7 year old kid, he’d provide Chakra and protection but I will have to trust him and let him be free once in a while in a wolf’s form, not releasing him from my side, I asked his motive, but he said that he wasn’t supposed to exist, as the strongest tailed demon, he was a form of a wolf, but he wanted peace, and he was willing to be with me.

In 3 days, I was stronger, faster, smarter than anyone in the ANBU or any akatsuki member, that was what they assured me when I was asked to release my other eye, Shinigami’s eye, I cause them to see themselves in an illusion, slowly cut away and their entire body starts to rot away bit by bit if they stayed too long, there is no cure up to date. One of them, Colomn, battled me and the moment I used my eye, he stood in his position, shaking and his pupil went back to his sockets that could tell the genjitsu he was seeing wasn’t pleasant at all, he’s body turned black like he was burnt and slowly, he stopped breathing. While he rots away, all of his ‘sacrifices’ held back tears and mutter a few prayers to him.

I killed a lot of people already, they all had fear while they died, those same eyes, I could never forget.

The Bloodshed, the sounds of cries and the smell of blood, the smell of fear and hatred.

“Don’t ask me to murder all of you when you are all so scared to die” emotionlessly, I spoke. I don’t regret killing them if they offer themselves to me, as I stood beside the burnt body.

One of them, who seems to be the calmest said, “I’m not afraid, we’re not afraid, but as a human being, sacrifices are made even if we don’t like it, we want you to end it all. You have to fight.”

“Yeah! We’re not afraid! We trust you!” One of them joins, soon after, all of them shouts as if they’ve just got the courage to enter a war, they then quiet down and on the last day, they battled me and they all lost but of course I also suffered some, I took one of their necklace that held chakra to block and surpass my left Shinigami eye , one of their katana wrapped across my back and two short daggers at my side pockets, one small rock, when chakra runs through it, it will turn into sand that allows to be used, then,  the sound of thick metal made of lightening element made its way to my ears and what was waiting for me was just 20 guards, and a man that I was quite familiar to,

“Hey! Mouryouku! Weakling, I see you finally defeated those tiny brats,” Without waiting for a respond, not like I was going to anyway, he ordered “Hey you all!” he waves his hands to the guards, “Clean up the mess here! I need to get ready for that stupid Hokage’s meeting, so better leave no evidence here!”

All the guards were already stepping into the bloody field, hands covering their nose as the thick iron rotting smell catches their attention, In a flash, I wield the two daggers and ran through the 20 guards that lost their heads as I side-step all of them without them doing any damage to me, ‘the man’ I called ‘father’ turned in shock and mutter before his death, “I’m the kamikage! Do you really think you can defeat me? Hahaha!”

He suddenly turned serious and said, “Ground Prison!”

The ground seemed to shake as the sand from underground raised and captured me in it. I smiled, fully satisfied that I can finally kill this man that was persisting on underestimating me, I snapped my fingers dramatically as the sand prison collapsed and attacked the oh, so strong kamikage, dragging him down the ground as he shouted,” You’ll regret this! The other hokages will kill y-hmmm!!!” As he was dragged down fully covered in the ground never to be seen again, I laughed at his state. ‘Keisha, you’re losing too much chakra, you have to end this very soon, 5minutes left’

I stopped laughing and preserved my chakra using as only taijitsu, I hacked my way through the exit, everyone died at the night of a full-moon, it was definitely ironic. The blood was all over the floor, there was me, covered in a mix of rotten and fresh blood, I begin to frown and left the place that my most memories were buried in. ‘Keira…You better find a place to live” ookami, Spoke to me, I named him by his wolf form. ‘I know, but I’m really hungry and my chakra is low, I want to sleep’

It was in the night and I followed my steps to a forest near-by that was connected to the fire country that was ruled by a hokage, i decided to rest on a branch after I encountered a sturdy tree, I let myself fall asleep on a study branch.  ‘Rest my child, tomorrow, you’ll need the energy’ ookami smothered me and I soon fell into a deep slumber.
