Frozen Crown

Chapter 1

The moon shone brightly over the Land Of Fire's village of ninja village of Konohagakure. Within a dark rundown apartment we find the hero of this tale, one Naruto Uzumaki. A small, malnourished, scared, six year old red haired blond boy throwing most of his most important things in a bag. The child wore a pair of green shorts and an orange shirt with blue sleaves both of which were torn and ripped in many places, the young boy had blood oozing out of rapidly closing wounds hissing violently as they sealed shut at an impossible rate. The rate at which his wound sealed was due in part to his own Uzumaki vitality but was heavily augmented by the very reason he had the wounds in the first place. You see Naruto was a Jinchuriki or a container for a Biju, more specifically the Kyubi no Kitsune, and because Fuinjutsu, the art of sealing, was an almost lost art most people assumed that Naruto was the beast itself and would attack him trying to take revenge on the Kyubi for attacking the village.

"I'm sorry Jiji I can't take this anymore," muttered Naruto as he put another shirt in his bag before throwing the bag over his shoulder quickly writing in a scroll the blond tossed the scroll on his bed before walking out of the bedroom into the main room of his apartment.

Striding over to the sink Naruto turned on the tap and cupped his hands under the now flowing water, before quickly splashing his face with the icy cold water and shaking his head. The blond then ran his damp hand over his face trying to get rid of the last of the blood on his face.

Once he was satisfied his face was clean Naruto walked out of the kitchen making sure his bag was securely on his back before walking the door not even looking back as he pulled the door shut before taking to the rooftops at speeds not expected of someone his age.

With Naruto's impressive speed he was at the gates of the village within minutes, thankfully the gate guards were asleep so it was no trouble for the blond child to shoot out the gates at the speed it would take for someone to blink upon landing outside the gate Naruto set off in a dead sprint running as fast as he could.

It took all of maybe five minutes for Naruto to leave the lights of Konoha in his wake jumping from tree to tree away from the village.

"Well, well, well lookie what we have here," called a voice from above Naruto, the boy looked up to see a trio of men with Konoha headbands on smirking evilly as they looked at the small boy. Knowing what those looks meant Naruto rocketed off the tree branch he was on, taking off in the opposite direction of the ninja above him, who all turned and chased the boy.

While Naruto's speeds were above average for his age, they were maybe genin level speeds at best, meaning the three at least chunin behind him had no problems keeping up with him.

After allowing Naruto a few minutes to tire himself out the three ninja pounced on the small boy landing on the branch he was on and pushing him to the ground. Had Naruto have jumped down he would have been able to land on his feet easily but as he had been about to jump the boy fell face first onto the ground.

But before he could get up he was once more pounced upon by one of the three ninja who yanked the boy up by his shirt and threw him against a tree.

"Thought you could just run away after tormenting us for years did you daemon? Well too bad," declared the man kneeing Naruto in the stomach making the blond grunt, and double over in pain.

One of the other ninja grabbed Naruto by the hair yanking his head up the man slammed his fist into the child's nose, a sickening crunch ripping through the area.

The last of the three Shinobi quickly pulled out a pair of kunai holding them between his index and middle fingers. With practiced ease the man threw the weapons at Naruto hitting him in both shoulders making the blond once more grunt, before throwing his head back but not letting the scream that so desperately wanted to escape from his throat out refusing to give the three men the satisfaction.
