Naruto, the jinchuriki of the nine tails, is beaten, berated, used, and scarred. He has had a rough life, but he will never give up. He will rise again.
He has vowed to rebuild his clan and rebuild his homeland, and he will let nothing get in his w...
*Naruto POV *Time Skip 3 months* *Flashback to the Morning after the Kidnapping* I went to the Hokage tower, as asked by Jiji, and walked right past the receptionist who was glaring and trying to stop me with stupid excuses. I knocked on the door and was let into Jiji's office.
"Hey Jiji! You said you needed to see me," I said as I walked in and went to hug him.
"Ah yes, Naruto. Good morning, I did indeed need to speak to you. Firstly, I need to tell you that you need to keep the fact that you were involved in the incident last night a secret. Secondly, I need to give you a reward for your help last night, and finally. What did you want for your birthday," Jiji explained, starting serious and ending off light and happy.
"Yeah, no problem Jiji. I won't tell anyone. Also, can I put my reward and birthday gift toward the same thing," I asked hopefully, trying to see if my request will be more favorably considered.
"Sounds like something big. What is it that you wanted from me Naruto," Jiji replied calmly, though somewhat hesitant.
"I don't think it's too big. I just want to use the clearing by the river in the forest to farm and sell any extras in town. Would you allow me to do that," I asked, looking at him with a smile while scratching the back of my head.
"Oh, is that all? Yeah, sure. I'll even give you some money to buy seeds to get you started," Jiji said handing Naruto 550 ryo.
"Thanks, Jiji, I'll give you some vegetables when they grow," I said smiling before hugging him and running out to find a seed store.
I was running down the street when I found a flower shop. I stopped and considered putting up a henge to hide myself.
'Kura-chan, what do you think? Should I use a henge to hide,' I thought, unsure if I should or if I should see how they react first.
"Use a henge. You can come out once you become a genin, so the civilian counsel can no longer go against you," Kura-chan advised, sounding somewhat annoyed.
'Yeah, that's true. Ok let me hide really quick,' I agreed, looking around to observe everyone in the area and slipping into a nearby alley. I quickly henge into a random looking adult man and head back out into the street.
I walked into the shop noticing a blonde, long-haired man and a blonde-haired girl around my age.

"Hello-," I started kindly, but I was cut off by the blonde man jumping out from behind the counter with a kunai in hand.
"Drop the henge! What are you here for," the man demanded, coming toward me slowly with a serious look on his face.
I was shocked and scared; my loss of concentration broke the henge showing my true form. I was turning to run out the door when the man grabbed my arm. More fear ran through me as I thought I was going to be hurt again and I started crying.
