Title: The Fox-Demon and the Noble Angel

Chapter: The child of misery.

Disclaimer: I hold no rights over the anime series, manga or any other aspect of Naruto.

A/N: Well hi, guys! After completing my last Naruto fanfic I decided to undergo the most brutal challenge of my life… to completely rewrite the story of Naruto into a dark and twisted version by asking myself one question… "What if Naruto ended up like Gaara?" now it is impossible for me to imagine the knucklehead being that bad so… it will brighten up a little bit in future chapters… but there will be some heart wrenching Konoha vs Naruto moments. Anyways there WILL be NaruHina and stuff. Enjoy!

Twelve years ago the village of Konohagakure was attacked by an evil demon… The nine-tailed fox demon. The shinobi forces couldn't do anything to stop it and countless lives were spent until the mighty fourth Hokage sacrificed himself to seal the demon away…

"Minato! Surely, there must be another way!" exclaimed Hiruzen Sarutobi as he marched up to his successor, Minato Namikaze. "No, I won't let you do this!" he then began to make hand-signs to create a jutsu.

The blonde-haired man just smiled and placed a hand on his predecessor's shoulder. "Hiruzen… do me one favour… I want my son to be known as a hero one day, not as the monster I am about to seal into him… you are the Third Hokage once again…" and with that the blonde hero disappeared into that yellow flash to which he earned his title and performed a series of hand-signs. "Sealing Jutsu: Reaper Death Seal!"

The demon could not be slain so the man who would be known as Konoha's greatest hero sealed the demon into the body of a new-born infant. That boys name is…

A blood-curdling scream of agony resonated throughout the torn landscape as the body of the Fourth came crashing down holding a small child. "Minato! NO!... oh, ancestors, watch over him in the next life…" the old battered ninja cried as he clutched his dear friend's lifeless body in his arms. "Yes, Minato… I shall watch over this one… welcome to cruel, bitter life, young one…welcome…

Naruto Uzumaki…"

Twelve years later…

The Ninja Academy of Konohagakure.

"… and that, class, is the first basic rule of chakra manipulation, any questions?" Asked Iruka Umino after placing the chalk down and turning towards his class. Most of them had their arms down except for a boy wearing a large, grey coat and who had a small dog lying on his head. "Yes, Kiba?"

The boy placed his feet on the table and examined his fingernails vainly before finally asking his question. "Why do we have to go over the same old bullshit every month!?" the young boy asked without even looking at his sensei.

The vein in Iruka's forehead grew to gigantic proportions the moment the words left the boys mouth. "Because, Kiba Inuzuka, this "bullshit" as you call it is the one fundamental principle to creating a jutsu… let me demonstrate…" an evil smirk spread across the teacher's face as he said this and everyone who was sitting next to Kiba took one step away. "Suiton: Mizurappa! (Water Release: wild water wave!)" Within a matter of seconds the young Inuzuka was drenched head to toe in water and his little dog was shaking furiously, much to the enjoyment of the class.

"Aww! You even got Akamaru wet!" the soaked boy exclaimed miserably.

Everyone was laughing merely until one of Iruka's colleagues rushed into the room. "Irukaaa!" the silver-haired chunin exclaimed as he burst through the door.

Iruka immediately stopped laughing "Mizuki, what's wrong?"

"It's Naruto!" Mizuki exclaimed much to the shock of his fellow teacher.

"Oh no! what has that little punk done now?"

"IF YOU EVER SO MUCH AS LOOK AT ME AGAIN, I'LL KILL YOU YOU WORTHLESS PIECE OF SHIT!" Naruto screamed as he kept ramming his foot into a kunai that was protruding out of the place where the man he was beating's testicles would have been.

Iruka, Mizuki and the rest of the class that was brave enough, made their way over to the gruesome scene. "Naruto, STOP!" Iruka called out, calling the attention of said boy to him. Naruto was covered head to toe in blood and what everyone, except for a certain pale eyed, dark haired girl, failed to realize was that the only blood on Naruto that was from the man was a few droplets on his toes; the rest belonged to the blonde child.

"Iruka sensei! Thank kyuubi you came!" Iruka winced upon hearing such praise for the monster that destroyed the village and murdered his parents. "I want you to fire this piece of fucking shit and tell the Hokage to have whatever is left of his pathetic little pecker removed!"

"That's enough, Naruto! How dare you assault a teacher!? AND HOW DARE YOU SPEAK ABOUT THE KYUUBI IN SUCH A MANER WITH ME PRESENT!" Iruka then backhanded the bloody boy and turned to his class. "Everyone! Come with me to class! Mizuki, take out the trash…" Iruka's remark to Naruto made the boy's face take on an expression of pain and hurt.

"But… but you don't know what h-he did…" Naruto whispered as his bottom lip began quivering and his eye's welled up with tears. Nobody heard him, though, as everyone turned to head back to class. Nobody except for one girl; Hinata Hyuga…

Naruto just ran in the opposite direction and left the academy while Mizuki took the battered body of his colleague to the infirmary. "Oh… poor Naruto…" whispered the Hyuga girl as a lone tear rolled down her cheek.

The next day.

"All right, class, settle down!" Iruka exclaimed as he picked up the attendance list. "Alright let's see who's here, shall we? Aburame Shino!" Iruka called as he lifted his gaze from the list in his hand.

"Present…" almost everyone in the room received a shiver down their back when they heard the quiet, raspy voice of their stoic classmate.

"Yes… ahem… Akimichi Chouji!" Iruka had the good sense to raise an umbrella to shield him from the shower he was about to receive.

"Breshant!" the chubby young ninja exclaimed while munching on his barbeque flavoured chips, sending said chips flying accompanied by a few droplets of spit.

Iruka immediately put away the umbrella once the chubby boy had sat down. "Chouji, could you not eat in my class!?" Iruka shouted irately while performing his big-head no jutsu to which Chouji just rolled his eyes and stuffed his face again. "Anyway… Haruno Sakura!"

The pink-haired girl's head shot up from resting on her hand "I'M HERE SASUKE, MY LOVE!" she yelled while doing kissy faces at said boy.

Iruka pinched the bridge of his nose. "Sakura, how many times do I have to tell you… GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR PUSSY AND THINK WHERE YOU ARE!" Iruka had just about had enough with the pink-haired daydreamer. All she ever did was drool over Sasuke and pretend to do her work while all she really did was write erotic love scenes in her notebook in which Sasuke would be drilling her hard one way or another.

"Y-yes… Iruka-sensei…" she looked down as a blush spread across her face while the class laughed uncontrollably except for Ino Yamanaka who simply scowled at her for dreaming about HER man.

Iruka breathed a sigh of relief after reading the next name. 'Finally… someone reasonable' with a smile he called out the next name "Hyuga Hinata!"

"P-present, Iruka-sama…" the young Hyuga girl began playing with her fingers nervously and kept sending short glances at a certain blonde that she had always admired.

Iruka then pinched the bridge of his nose when he realized who was next. "sigh… Inuzuka Kiba!"

All the class received as a response was a loud snore from said boy. "Woof! woof!" Akamaru seemed to have answered for his master.

'Perhaps I should wake him…' "Suiton: Mizurappa! (Water Release: wild water wave)"

Kiba woke up screaming and immediately sat up strait in obedient attention.

"Now that we've had our bit of fun, let's continue with the class, shall we!?" Iruka read the next name on the list. "Nara Shikamaru!" no response. "NARA SHKAMARU!" everyone's gaze fell upon the sleeping figure of the lazy boy and Iruka's eye had begun twitching. He walked up to the sleeping Nara. "Shika-kun, it's time to wake uuuu-uuuup" he said in a sickly sweet tone.

"Mom…snort… stop being…snore… a bitch and let me…snore… sleep… troublesome"

"I'LL STOP BEING A BITCH WHEN YOU STOP BEING A LAZY, GOOD FOR NOTHING SON OF A BITCH!" that was the second time today that he had to use his big head no jutsu.

The lazy Nara sleepily got up and stared groggily at Iruka. "Troublesome…" he said nonchalantly.

Iruka simply muttered something about talking with bitchy moms and read the next name on the list. With a smile he announced the next name "Uchiha Sasuke!"

"Sigh… present…" the onyx-haired sole surviving heir to the noble clan said in a bored tone. A certain pink-haired girl squealed at hearing his voice while a certain blonde-haired girl just tossed him a rose she had taken from her parents shop.

"Right… ok… last, Yamanaka Ino!" Iruka was fearful of what reply he might receive from yet another Sasuke fangirl.

"Yeah, whatever, present!" Ino said while looking at Sasuke with butterflies in her stomach.

"Ok, then. Let us begin on the more advanced steps of chakra manipulation…"

"Umm… Iruka-sama…" came a small soft voice.

"Yes Hinata?" Iruka was anxious to get on with the class.

"Umm… you… you didn't call out… Naruto-k… I mean… Naruto-san's name…" she said as a blush threatened to creep across her face from almost using the kun suffix. She hated it when people would forget or ignore the blonde boy… she found it unfair and unjustified, especially since he was always alone.

"Ah, yes, I almost forgot…" Iruka said through clenched teeth. "Uzumaki Naruto…"

Everyone's eyes shifted to where he sat. Naruto was a boy who always reeked of something. Villagers would often urinate on him as he passed or would throw rotten food at him, but what he reeked of most was blood. His clothes consisted of a matching costume: a once orange tracksuit that was now tainted a constant red after being tainted in so much blood with the once blue parts on his shoulders and waist being a dark purple with a spiral crest on his back that was the only part that remained in its natural colour, his once orange pants took on the same red tint as his tracksuit. The blonde haired boy stood up, revealing that he had iron cuffs on. "Present…" he said in a dark tone.

'Oh Naruto… I'm so sorry for what they did to you…' Hinata had always watched him from a distance. There was a time when he seemed so full of life and he smiled from ear to ear. Sadly he hadn't smiled in two years and his relationship with his teacher worsened. She gave him an apologetic look.

Naruto caught on to her look and glanced at her, making her blush before being called to attention by his sensei. "Now, Naruto, can you give me a summary of yesterday's class!?"

"B-but Iruka-sama… Naruto-k… Naruto-san wasn't here in yesterday's class!" Hinata had to hide her blush after almost using the kun suffix again. Unbeknownst to everyone is that Naruto mumbled a soft thank you under his breath.

"Well, since he has such faith in the grand kyuubi I just thought maybe he can ask him on the subject of chakra manipulation!" Iruka's glare could bore holes in a person's soul right at that moment as he spoke with sarcasm.

Hinata remained silent. Though she knew speaking of the nine-tails in such praise was wrong, she was more curious than angry at the blonde… 'Why did he praise it… is it not a terrible monster that was destroyed by the Fourth? Why…' the girl decided to stand by her secret affection and opened her mouth to speak.

"It's alright… don't get in trouble… on my behalf…" Naruto mumbled as he gazed curiously at the girl. 'Why? Why did she stick her neck out for me?'

Hinata went silent as another blush crept across her face. 'He does care…'

"I am sorry, Iruka sensei… but I do not know the answers to your question… and I humbly ask that you forgive me for yesterday's… incident" he spat the last word with venom, clenching his fists.

"Why am I not surprized? Well then, I guess that you and the rest of the class can at least show me why the hell I bother, hm? Everyone, transform into me! Failure to do so will result in a disadvantage at tomorrow's graduation exam!"

After a lot of groans, moans and hateful glares at Naruto the class reluctantly lined up and began transforming: Shino's transformation was good, but it creeped everyone out that bugs were coming out of his ears. Chouji's Iruka was a tad bit fat. Sakura henged into Sasuke but passed due to the fact it was a perfect henge. Hinata henged into a blonde-haired, blue eyed Iruka with whisker marks but Iruka decided to let it slide since he figured that Naruto probably brainwashed her or something. Kiba's was almost perfect except for having claws, fangs and excess ear hair. Shikamaru performed an excellent henge but then decided to transform into a totally naked woman which then caused Iruka to nose bleed all over the place. After a lot of screaming it was Sasuke's turn. Iruka marvelled at the perfect reflection of himself and decided that he would take the Uchiha out to ramen that evening. Ino then, much to everyone's discomfort, turned into a completely naked version of Sasuke and, to Sasuke's amazement, was actually perfect. 'Has she been spying on me?'

"That leaves…" everyone in class turned to the shaking quivering form of Naruto Uzumaki. "Naruto! COME HERE AND HENGE, YOU LAZY GOOD FOR NOTHING!" Iruka then undid his iron cuffs.

Naruto was shaking. Every time he tried the Henge no Jutsu he always transformed into the object of his nightmares. "B-but… Iruka-sensei… I…" he now had tears running down his face.

"Shut up and henge!" Iruka then slapped him over the back of his head.

Hinata looked at the boy, concern evident in her eyes. 'Oh, Naruto-kun… hang in there…'

Naruto nervously performed the hand sign and summoned his chakra. "H-Henge no Jutsu!" he then let loose a huge burst of chakra and took the form of a huge nine-tailed fox. Everyone in class started panicking and Iruka pulled out a kunai.

"Everyone, get back! I'll deal with this!" Iruka shouted as he charged towards the bestial figure in front of him. He had to dodge one of the nine whipping tales and then another before reaching his student and plunging the kunai into its arm.

After a scream of pain the fox disappeared into a puff of smoke and, in its place, there laid a quivering, bleeding blonde boy with a kunai protruding from his upper arm; his eyes wide with fear. "Why? Why does that… that beast always appear? I… I'm scared Iruka-sensei… I'm scared…" The boy then hugged his knees and sobbed loudly, full of anguish.

"You should be! I've a mind to expel you from the academy right now for that little stunt! You fail today's class and tomorrow you will suffer a fifty percent penalty on your score at the graduation exam!" Iruka spat with anger as he pulled out the kunai viciously, making Naruto's arm spatter blood all over the floor. "AND CLEAN UP THIS MESS!"

"But, Iruka-sama! You… you can't give him that sort of punishment…" The young girl was at the verge of tears. She knew it wasn't Naruto's fault, he looked way too frightened to pull off a stunt like this voluntarily and it infuriated her to see him receive such a harsh and brutal punishment.

"L-leave it… I… I accept… h-his punishment…" a soft, quiet voice came from the blonde who was now licking up the blood off the floor with his tongue as he softly whimpered to himself. The visage was breaking the girl's heart, seeing someone who was once so full of life in this state was something she couldn't stand.

"Alright as for everyone else, class dismissed!" everyone except Hinata cheered as they went storming out of the class doors. Iruka then turned to Hinata. "What's wrong, Hinata?"

"I… I wish to help Naruto-k… Naruto-san clean up…" she said as the blonde looked up in awe that someone was willing to help him.

"Well… ok… but just help him! Don't do the lazy slacker's work for him!" An irritated Iruka stated as he walked out of the room, leaving the two alone.

"Yes… Iruka-sama…" Hinata said while bowing. "So… are… are you alright?" She asked with a voice filled with concern while turning toward her blonde classmate.

"Y-yes… thank you…" the boys head never rose from the floor as he continued to lick up his own blood. "I… I really hate him…"

The next hour was filled with an awkward silence that was only broken once they had finished cleaning. "So… what is… your nindo?" The pale eyed girl finally asked once she got the courage.

Naruto just stared at her for a while before answering. "To never go back on my word…" he finally said in a voice filled with depression and desperation.

Hinata smiled. "That… is my nindo as well" she was surprised to see him raise his arm and hold out his hand expectantly.

"Naruto…" he said quietly.

'He wants to shake hands?' She hesitated a moment before finally reaching her own hand out to meet his. "H-Hinata…"

After their handshake the two of them said goodbye before returning home.

'I… I can't believe he reached out his hand to me!' she had a warm tickly feeling in her stomach for the rest of the day and had pleasant dreams about whisker-faced boys that night.

'What… is this… feeling…? it is warm…' Naruto thought as he was lying down on his bead, gazing at the ceiling. Just then a brick came flying through his window and hit him on his head. Naruto got up calmly and placed a finger on the damp spot on his head, sticking it in his mouth afterwards. 'That's the second time I've tasted my own blood today… damned village must be having a break…' he then made his way to the window to see another brick flying his way. After it broke his nose he just looked toward a drunken old man with a basket full of the heavy pieces of masonry. "Here we go again…" minutes later the village echoed with the screams of pain of said drunk who was being scattered across the village in pieces.

A/N: well I wanted to make this chapter longer… but I sadly couldn't due to the fact that if I continued I would easily make this a six thousand word chapter which I don't want to put you guys through considering it is the first chapter. Yes, I know you hate me for making Naruto this poor abused little guy and Iruka this sadistic, teacher but I promise Naruto will learn what it feels like to be loved in the end… maybe. I also apologize if this fic is weird… I'm trying a different style of writing and I'm not quite used to it… please R and C!
