Naruto Namikaze. A name either feared, hated, scorned, or simply loathed. A boy who had a fate which he had no say in, a burden placed on him without thinking about the consequences. A boy who had a family, but his own family didn't see him as one of their own, nonetheless being the same flesh and blood. A boy who, despite with all the glares, mocking, and hate they threw at him, still managed to smile with so much warmth. Who is he really? A jinchūriki? A monster? A demon? An orphan? A scapegoat for all the hate they had for the fox which invaded their village years ago? A child who was misunderstood by everyone? An idiot dead-last? Or a hero?

Fear. One word known by all. The shinigami himself knowing it. Hate. It fills peoples souls, never daring to leave them. What would happen if they left? They would disappear... but who wants to hate? Those two words rule people's lives. And no one dares to change it. Why would they? What would be the point in changing it? It would just come back to scare them. Happiness. A rare thing in a world of death. Often only found with those you would trust. Love and Fondness. Two more elusive words, but what can be said about them? Rare in this world filled with hate. Found by those who long for something, or someone, to trust. You can't have all of these conflicting emotions together can you? It's either one or the other. It's even physically impossible to have them together. But how do the people of Konoha do it? They channel their hate, while being happy about it. But what do they channel their hate onto? The nine tails that destroyed so many things? No... this can't be right. Look at them. Latching their hatred onto a poor child, who had done nothing to them. Nothing but being the thing that holds back what they despise most. But one can only take so much before lashing out. So what makes the little fox crack?

Naruto has had enough. All he wants is to leave, to be as far away from the place his nightmares came to life. He wants to live freely, not chained down to a village who look at him with nothing but disgust.

Naruto has been betrayed by everyone he knew. Stuck in the Akatsuki prison he meets the fox. He becomes powerful through training and wants to show just what a pile of crap the Village of Konoha really is. Sorry really bad at summaries!

Moved from ff.net: COMPLETE (After 10 years!). An incident at the festival on Oct. 10th reveals that there is a lot that everyone doesn't know about Naruto. Smart!Naruto, Sasunaru/Narusasu, Rated M for swearing & citrus. Originally posted in 2006!

He doesn't remember when he began to put on fake smiles, he only knows that it's working. Nobody notices the straining in his eyes and jaw as he tries not to cry. He was Uzumaki Naruto, he was the class clown, he wasn't allowed to cry. So he kept it up. Until somebody finally does notice. But can they save Naruto from himself? Or is he already in too deep?

Why would his parents ignore him? What if the most unlikely clan was to give him a home? What would happen if siblings fought to the point that his home is to... It is up to you if you want to read or not! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I suck at descriptions, and this is my first fan-fiction, SO PLEASE SPARE ME! A/N. Naruto does not belong to me, it belongs to Masashi Kishimoto. I don't update frequently, so don't pressure me about it. Im writing the next chapter now but I want it to be long so it might take a while.

Naruto was different. He looked so innocent. But he was so corrupt and tainted. He was strong. He was powerful. But he had nightmares everynight. He was beaten. But he was still hanging on to the innocence he had left. He used to walk around the butterflies, and keep a mask of stupidity and happyness. But now he lost it. His mask shattered. And he quit stepping around the butterflies and now he is stepping on them. Will anyone be able to save him?

Naruto takes a mission on his birthday to avoid the fox hunt, but instead gets landed with something worse, read as Naruto hides his struggles and the truth, but everyone knows... The truth always comes out eventually (Sakura bashing) (Contains suicidal thoughts, self harm etc.)

After the final fight with a different outcome, Naruto gets infected by an ancient chakra sickness. A sickness that will be the death of him. A happy ending. Warnings : Boy x boy Disclaimer : Don't own anything except the idea
