Narukos new life as Lady Maria Uzumaki

Chapter 1 A new identity

"GET IT"

"KILL THE DEMON"

"MAKE IT SUFFER"

"AVENGE THOSE IT KILLED"

Naruko didn't know what she did wrong her five year old brain just couldn't come up with the answers she needed. She was running for her life some villagers had managed to spot her and shouted out her location causing a mob to start chasing after her. Naruko had ran as fast as her little legs could take her but that was all for nothing when she found herself staring at a dead end.

"WE FINALLY HAVE YOU DEMON"

"OUR FAMILIES CAN FINALLY BE AVENGED"

Naruko was panicking She knew these people would hurt her it wouldn't be the first time, she knew however this would be the worst beating yet. Oh she hated these villagers but she could do nothing but beg and hope they wouldn't kill her

"Please I don't understand, what did I do wrong?"

That evidently was the wrong thing to ask as the villagers just seemed to become even more angry.

"WHAT DID YOU DO WRONG YOU ASK?"

"YOUR A DEMON, A MURDERER YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU DID"

Naruko didn't have a chance to respond as she was harshly kicked in the face by the big man in front of the rest. He continued to stomp on the small girls head, hard enough to hurt but weak enough not to kill, no the villagers weren't that nice and Naruko knew it.

She could only curl up into a ball and cry while the villagers punched, kicked, cut and stabbed for hours leaving only a bloody mess behind. She didn't know why she was hated so much she didn't feel like a demon, she didn't bleed like a demon but according to everyone she was one. Perhaps they knew something she didn't about herself a reason she had to live a life of pain and loneliness.

No one came to her aid she just laid there staring at the sky wishing someone would help her.

'No that's not right no one will help me, no one wants me, no one cares if I live or die. So I won't care for them either, I won't allow myself to be their victim anymore'.

She didn't have a destination or even a plan in mind but she had made her mind up, as soon as she could move she would leave this village and she would become strong. Only then would she return not as Naruko Uzumaki no she died in this very alley, no she would return as someone new, someone to be feared, she would no longer allow anyone to look down on her.

Unknown to her three figures deep down in the confines of her mind Scape were extremely unhappy with what they were seeing and had started making plans of their own to strengthen the girl to unprecedented levels.

About an hour later she finally got some feeling back into her arms and legs, she did always possess an unnaturally strong healing factor, injuries that were life threatening to others took just a small amount of time to heal good as new. With every step she took she felt herself walking better and better before she knew it she was running her way to the gate, this was it she would finally be free from this personalised hell and nothing was stopping her.

When she arrived at the gate she noticed the guards had fallen asleep so quickly and as quietly as she could made her way past the sleeping men. As she passed them she noticed one had a kunai next to his hand, she knew she would have to kill to be able to live so she grabbed the kunai and began her first steps into her new life.

Naruko didn't know how long she had been running but she was sure she had gotten far enough away to be able to rest for the night and as it had started to rain she needed to find shelter. It didn't take long, she had found a cave which she could use as shelter for now.
