The Lost Jinchūriki (Naruto Fanfiction)

Chapter 4: Forgotten

*Naruto's POV*

All the guys circled me. It took me a while until I realized what was going on. The beatings again. I stood on my feet and took a fighting stance big brother Kakashi showed me.

What's the point? You're a monster. Remember?

"Oh yeah, I forgot," I said out loud. The guys laughed. "You forgot what? How to fight? Don't worry you don't need to anyway." He said.

I looked around and the guys started taking out weapons and cracking their knuckles. "Remember what you said, in a fight against those older than you...You would hopelessly lose." He snickered.

I wasn't going to say anything but before I had the chance I was kicked in the stomach and knocked a few feet back. I bumped into another guy who turned me around to pick me up by my collar and punch me in the face to knock me to the ground.

I closed my eyes as I prepared for the next attack. Kicks were knocked in my gut and punches to my head, as kunai and other weapons carved and scrapped my skin. I cried silently to myself as I tried to ignore the pain and the words they called me that I have already heard.

"Demon"

"Monster"

"Murderer"

"Beast"

This went on for about 10-15 minutes before they stopped and started looking around. Scared looks were placed on their faces to replace the horrid and anger they were just scarred with. My sense of smell and hearing was more heightened than most, I know why now. I am a monster.

If they knew someone was close then they must have felt their charka, something I could not sense yet. Until I heard a voice, "Naruto!"

It was my dad. I tried to sit up but the pain hurt and it hurt even worst when one of the guys stepped on me.

"Oh, no! You are not going anywhere." He said in an angry hushed tone.

"What are you doing?! If Lord Hokage finds out then we will be exiled or worst, executed!" Another guy whispered.

The guy stepped on my gut harder earning a silent cry from me. "We cannot allow this beast to live alongside us anymore. We have to dispose of him properly." He said with venom laced in his throat.

The guy grabbed me by my collar and threw me over his shoulder as he and the others rushed through the forest from tree to tree. The bumped road made his shoulder hit my pained stomach and every time I groaned I could hear him snicker.

After some time, I was thrown down on a rocky surface. As I looked up, I saw the guys glaring down at me, but mainly the ones that carried me here. Somehow I knew his mint-colored hair and yellow eyes were gonna be the last thing I saw.

He stomped my side once again. "This is for the people of the Leaf." He said as he used his leg to roll me against the surface and soon I didn't feel anything underneath me as I started falling ...falling. Those guys! THEY JUST ROLLED ME OFF A CLIFF!

I felt a jolt inside me as I started to move again. My arms were swinging and my legs kicked as my heart raced like somehow I could find my way back up. The fall had to be long or time just slowed as I was meeting my end. I looked at the full moon that shined on me and soon I hit my head and the bright moon I saw soon turned to darkness.

I woke up from wind blowing in my hair. I opened my eyes to a girl with white hair and blue eyes I know I had seen before. Then out of nowhere my body started hurting and it went limp as I fell back into the darkness.
