Naruto No Kitsune

Chapter 1 - Suffering

Chapter 1 - Suffering

 

He was alone… hungry, hurting, and scared… With a whimper Naruto pulled himself from the ally he had hid in. All he’d wanted was something to eat… why did they have to throw things at him. Didn’t he pay enough money?

Sniffling he rubbed his cold arms, it was raining and he wanted to get back to his home. The glares of the few that still lingered in the street followed him, and finely he couldn’t take it any more.

‘What did I do-What did I do?!’ his mind screamed as he ran, feeling he was at his breaking point. They hated him and he never understood why-what had he done that made everyone so mad? Why did they all reject him?

He didn’t know. All he knew was their hated glares. He splashed through the muddy street glad for the poring rain. It was all he had to hide his tears.

Naruto was at the academy… he’d failed his first Genin exam. He knew he was just a kid-barely seven years old. Even Uchiha Sasuke didn’t pass. But he’d wanted it so bad…

‘Just wait-someday I’ll show them all-I’ll show ‘em that I’m the strongest Shinobi in the village and then they’ll have to look at me with respect!’ he glared back at some of the mothers and fathers who were boring there gaze into him. Finely he stuck his tongue out at them childishly, while really he felt a burning anger in his heart. ‘I hate…’

“I just can’t believe he’s still alive…” Sakura said as the Hokage examined her most resent patient. When she’d seen the boy, her first thought was that the only damage was minor injures and Chakra exhaustion. She saw a cut across the front of his cloths, (the dry blood turned brown,) but by the time they had gotten back to the Leaf, Kyuubi had already healed the wound.

“It wasn’t a lethal Jutsu… or at least I don’t think it was meant to be.”

“A Justu-but that sword went right through his head-“

“Precisely. A normal sword would never have been able to handle that kid of attack… Not as smoothly as you all described.”

“It was a chakra blade.” Sasuke said coldly. He was seated by the window in his usual stance; fingers steepled with his chin resting on them. His black eyes stared coldly out the window, as if he could turn the spring to winter.

“…yes…” The Hokage looked puzzled, as she let the fact slip. She needed to lay off the sake during the day...

“I want to meet this so called assassin. Kakashi!” she ordered spinning to face the Jonin, her long hair snapping. “You’re going to accompany me. Let’s go.”

Sasuke stood with a, “Hmph.” Ready to follow.

“And where do you think you’re going?” Tsunade asked as he stepped after her.

“What do you think? I’m coming too.”

“I’m sorry Sasuke, but judging from Kakashi’s report you’re in no stable condition be near this man.”

“I won’t do anything, I just want to know what he did to the dobe.” His voice was stone cold as he looked away. “I won't kill him.”

Tsunade sighed, and then turned to Kakashi who shrugged.

“Fine, but you are going to be silent the entire time. Make any wrong moves and I will throw you out.”
