Konahagakure, the Village Hidden in the Leaf, is sitting peacefully on a chilly October afternoon. Within the streets, however, violent actions are taking place. Under a scarlet sky, a 4-year old blonde is being hunted by a group of villagers. Naruto is running as fast as his short legs could take him, but he knew all too well that he can't outrun his pursuers.

Naruto thought, "I'll try to lose them in the buildings, maybe that will help me."

He frantically turned left and right trying to get to safety. A sigh of relief swept over him as his pursuers couldn't keep up with him.

"Yes!" he thought triumphantly. As soon as Naruto ran down an alley, he screamed in pain as a sharp object hit the knee ligament in the back of his left leg.

"I got him," yelled one of the villagers. Naruto looked back and saw a throwing knife in the back of his leg, beyond that were about 8 men with knives and clubs at the ready. Naruto tried to get away from them, but was immediately kicked down with a foot on his back, immobilizing him. Naruto's serene blue eyes were filled with one feeling that dominated his life.   .   .   . Fear.

"We got you now, beast," said one.

"A demon like you should have never been born," said another.

"You're scum"

"Monster"

"Devil"

They looked at him preparing to kill. Realizing there was no escape he cried out, "HELP!!" When no one came he closed his eyes, releasing all his tears and whispered to himself, shacking, "I don't want to die."
