Young Naruto is beaten up every single night, even his 'friends' at the academy couldn't care less that he came to class bloody and bruised. He has finally been pushed past his breaking point, will someone finally reach out to him or will he be left to fade into the darkness. Alone TW. Su!c!de, b*lly!ng,@b*se

Naruto is a boy who has been abused by his village. To reduce the number of beatings he is forced to endure, he pretends to be a happy go lucky dead last idiot. Secretly though, he trains with Kurama to become strong. After he graduates he lets go of his mask, tired of having to pretend to be happy. Kakashi, Naruto's teacher, can't understand why this child is so different from the file. As time passes, Kakashi finds himself growing closer to the boy who's eyes look older than they should.
