You Were My Light

One Time Only + Prologue

I WILL STATE THIS DISCLAIMER THIS ONE TIME ONLY - BUT IT APPLIES TO THE ENTIRETY of my BOOK OF 'YOU WERE MY LIGHT DURING MY DARKEST TIME' (adopted from KakashiHatakiNaruUzu).

I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE RIGHTS TO NARUTO, NARUTO SHIPPENDEN, ANY OF THE NARUTO MOVIES, CHARACTERS, OR PLOTS.

1. I do not own any Naruto characters.  That privilege and all credits go to Masashi Kishimoto.

2. I do not own any of the artwork unless specified on the artwork. All credits belong to the original artists. If I remember where I found the artwork I will post a link or credit the artist. I don't always know, so my sincere apologies.

3. I do not own any of the songs, music or videos that appear in this story. All credits and rights belong to the original artists. The YouTube links in the story will play the video clips, but I've found I need to use mobile data (not WI-FI) internet to access, see, or play the videos from YouTube when I read through other stories.

4. This book has been adopted from KakashiHatakiNaruUzu. The original idea and story-line have been adopted by me, but I have adapted and edited it to suit my writing style- which I apologise for in advance. Any further story-line and plot are pulled from my imagination and I also apologise for the 'excessively descriptive' parts while I am still trying to get back into the swing of writing - it's been more than 16 years!

5. This is my first time writing in more than 16 years, so please be gentle with me. I appreciate any constructive criticism, but slander and abuse will not be tolerated. 

6. Everything is from my imagination. Nothing in here is real and it is 100% fiction.
If you have a problem with me, please private message me and talk to me directly. I am happy to have any feedback - negative or positive, but don't be petty.

Thank you.

PROLOGUE:

( NARUTO: AGED 3)

Naruto Uzumaki; an orphan, a child with a sunny disposition, always happy, always pulling pranks and joking around, seeming to always be spreading joy and happiness as he runs about his village. A child with blonde hair that would remind you of the colour of sunflowers, eyes so clear and blue they rival the sweetest summer blue sky that has not a wisp of a cloud to be seen, whose smile was bright and a laugh that made others smile to hear it...

Naruto Uzumaki; an orphan due to a tragedy nobody would talk about, a child hiding behind a sunny disposition, rarely happy, always pulling pranks and joking around so others would pay him the slightest attention, seeming to always be spreading joy and happiness as he runs away from the people in his village. A child with blonde hair that would remind you of the colour of sunflowers that was so often coated in tar, semen, dirt and his own blood, eyes so clear and blue they rival the sweetest summer sky but in which you can see an empty void, whose smile was too bright and too fake, and a laugh that made others smile to hear it but held so much pain...

Naruto Uzumaki was so broken that he didn't think he could be fixed. There were always the hateful whispers that Naruto heard like demon, monster, beast, a plague to the village, useless, worthless, go die, we need to kill it, there it is- let's get it!, and the worst one of all, we'll see you again tomorrow. Naruto didn't understand; he hadn't done anything that he knew of, all he knew is everyone in the village hated him and wanted him dead, but nobody would tell him why.

Naruto couldn't remember a time when he hadn't been bullied, cursed at, put down, chased, hated, or beaten. It had been going on since he could remember; when he was kicked out of the orphanage, well, thrown out a window into the alley behind the orphanage and being told to go and die because he was nothing but a curse and a demon. The adults encouraged their children to bully him, and discouraged their children from making friends with him. 

But nobody would tell him why...
