When Sparks Fly

Shocking Development

*Bubump Bubump Bubump Bubump*

This was the rhythmic sound of a beating heart as it rammed against its owner's ribcage. The heart belonged to a small 10 year old boy with blonde hair and blue eyes who was racing down a street trying to escape his annual birthday bash.

The little boy looked over his shoulder. Shear terror ripped through him when he saw the distant glow of torches. His heart beat faster. His legs pumped harder.

Why was he running? A mob was coming to celebrate his birthday in the most painful way possible, with a beating.

*zip* A kunai flew past his head. They found him! Two more zipped past, but one grazed his leg and he fell. The bloodthirsty crowd descended on the boy.

The boy knew screaming and begging only made things worse for him so he curled up into a ball and tried not to scream.

*crack* Something shattered his arm, but he didn't make a sound.

*slice* Something stabbed him. Tears leaked out of his eyes, but still he didn't voice his agony.

He tried to block out the yells of 'murderer' and 'demon' as he clenched his teeth to keep from screaming in pain.

*crunch* The little boy felt a foot hit his face.

*splat* He knew someone spat on him.

The crowd started to disperse minutes later. They left the broken boy in a pool of his own blood.

And then there was silence. It was over ... for now.

Everyone has left. The boy was alone. The boy slowly got up and made his way home.

He limped several blocks leaving a trail of blood behind him. He saw his house, the Namikaze mansion, come into view. He reached for the doorknob with his unbroken arm and pulled. The door wouldn't budge. It was locked.

He stood there silently with his bangs covering his eyes. A disturbing chuckle left his lips. His parents forgot about him. Minato and Kushina Namikaze forgot about their eldest son Naruto, the holder of the kyuubi's soul, for his sister Rin, the holder of the kyuubi's power. Again!

Naruto turned and limped away. He had to find a place to hide before someone finds him. He heard a rumble of thunder in the distance. Yes, he had to find shelter soon.

He was wondering aimlessly. He was becoming dizzy from lack of blood.

Naruto saw an abandoned building and limped towards it. He was only feet from safety when he saw a white flash and was suddenly hit with searing pain.

Everything went black.

XXXXXXXXXX

"Rin! Time for breakfast!"

"Yay!"

Naruto's eyes cracked open at the sound of his mother and twin sister's shrill voices, "Can't they be quiet for once." The blonde tried to go back to sleep, but a second later Naruto bolted upright, "How did I get back here? The last thing I remember was getting beaten ... The door was locked ... And I was going to find shelter ... a white flash."

Flashback

Naruto saw an abandoned building and limped towards it. He was only feet from safety when he saw a white flash and was suddenly hit with searing pain.

Everything went black.

His body became solid electricity and his body warped into the shape of a fox with nine tails.

The lightening fox let out a psychotic laugh, "I'm free!" The fox turned to Konoha and let an insane smile slip onto his face, "Time for my revenge!" The fox shot up into the sky with thunderous boom and a sick maniacal cackle.
