Betrayal

Prologue

A young boy with sun-kissed hair sat in a crib inside of an adoption center. He was 3 years old and was fairly short for his age. He had whiskers and curious azure eyes. This boy, Naruto Uzumaki, was the jinchūriki of the Kyūbi. Hated by most people of Konohagakure no Sato.

No one will adopt me this time.. I already know. Naruto thought as he looked through a window to see two adults in the front office talking to the person in charge.

The man was of an average build. He wasn't very muscular, indicative of him being a civilian. He had slightly fair skin, with a face that was a bit soft. He possessed dark brown eyes, had tear troughs on his face, and had his hair in a low-cut, spiky style. He wore a dark-green yukata.

The woman had a slender build. She was fair-skinned with light-blonde hair tied into odango buns. She too had dark-brown eyes, and wore a colorful kimono.

"..you sure you want to adopt the dem- Naruto Uzumaki?" The person behind the counter asked the couple in a hushed tone. The couple hesitated and then nodded yes, the female smirked.

"Well.. here you go, then." She gave them the adoption papers and then led them to Naruto's place within the adoption home. Naruto's crib did not have the proper maintenance; it was old and a bit musty. It had carvings within the olden oak frame.

Naruto's eyes widened. I'm being adopted! His curious blue eyes glistened in the bright artificial light of the room. "Yay!" He said, latching onto the man's shoulder. The man recoiled at the touch, but then leaned in.

Disgusting demon.. The woman thought, sorry for her husband. They walked out of the door, and towards their home. It wasn't extravagant, but nor was it poor. It was a traditional Japanese home.

As the pair opened the doors to their house, they both said, "Welcome to your new home." to the child. Two children ran down the stairs, onto the shiny, dark, wooden floor. "Mom, dad! We have a new sibling!" The shorter one said with a grin.

The slightly taller one simply gave off a small grin.

The woman frowned at both of the children, and placed Naruto into his new room. They said a few words of welcoming, introduced him to the family, and then left the room, leaving Naruto to look at his new surroundings.

When the two made sure that all three of their children were asleep, they went into their bedroom and talked.

"We finally did it, Sora!" The woman said to the man with excitement.

The man, or Sora, rubbed his palms together, and said, "Yes, Niko, we've finally adopted the demon brat, and we can put our plans into action!"

They laid down in the bed and fell asleep.

Sorry this chapter was so short, but it's a prologue after all. Please give me some constructive criticism in the reviews.
