Chapter one

This is the very first time I'm writing a fanfic, I have read them for years but never written my own. So I thought that I should at least try one time. Please give me a comment about what I did wrong and what I could do better. Thank you!

"Normal talk"

"Thinking"

"Bijuu and Jutsus"

A small boy ran through a village as fast as he could. If you looked hard you could see the tears streaming down his face but you could also see that looked terrified and sad. He was panting hard and running as fast as his 4 year old legs could but he could feel the burn in this thighs and calves. Behind him he could hear the villagers screaming foul words like demon and monster.

These were words that were normal to him he had heard them as long as he could remember. He took a sharp right turn and run toward what he thought looked like a water fall but his goal was the cave that was beside the water fall if he could reach the cave before the villagers saw him he could finally be saved from the people that was running after him.

"COME HERE YOU DEMON! WE HAVE TO AVENGE THE DEATH OF THE YONDAIME! THE DEMON HAVE TO DIE BECAUSE THAT WAS THE FINAL WISH OF THE YONDAIME!" The villagers stopped to look around but now they realized that they had lost the demon boy that they wanted to punish for the death of their former Hokage that were loved by all the villagers.

The villagers looked around so they could try to find the boy they all hated. Then they heard a rumble in the wind and as some sort of blessing it started slowly to rain it started slow but it quickly grew in intensity and soon it was pouring down. The villagers quickly forgot the demon for now and turned around to find shelter in their home.

Naruto was panting hard when he finally reached the cave his clothes were soaked through and he was shivering in the cold weather that came with the rain. He was wearing a thin blue shirt with a spiral on the back and brown shorts that there were some holes in it. He was freezing and hungry but to afraid to go closer to the exit of the cave. "I can't hear them, maybe they turned around when it started raining."

He sat down in the cave and pulled his knees closer to his chest so he would feel a little more heat and finally the sob that had been stuck in this chest finally came free and he started crying. Many emotions were running trough him, sadness, anger and confusion. Why did the villagers hate him, he had always tried to be friendly to every person he met so why were these people hurting him and shunning him?

"What did I do to deserve this? I just want to live I normal life, I want to walk in my village and feel safe. I want to be able to go in to a store without people screaming at me to get out. I want to feel the stares anymore, I just want peace." Naruto were crying hard now, the sobs came faster and faster and he could feel how tired he was but he was to afraid to sleep.

Suddenly he could hear footsteps coming from the exit of the cave. He tensed and started shaking. Naruto made himself as small as he could and stopped breathing to the person couldn't hear him. "Hello, is someone in here?" the voice whom were speaking were had a lazy tone to it. "I know someone is in here I can feel your chakra. Come out so I can see who you are?"

Naruto pressed his hand to his mouth so the person would not hear him breathing he closed his eyes and prayed that the person would not find him and if he did that he did not want to hurt him. "Hello!" the man spoke again and Naruto could hear he was closer. "Don't find me, don't find me!" Naruto prayed frantic in his head. " I don't want to hurt you I promise, I just want to see who is on my property and it you are a treat to my family, clan and my deer."

Naruto slowly looked up as he heard what the man said, could he believe him or was he fooling Naruto so he would come out of hiding. Now he could see the shadow of the man and he saw that he was tall hand his hair was in a ponytail that was spiky and I kind of looked like a big pineapple. The mans name is Shikaku Nara clan head of the Nara clan. He is a man that may look rough on the outside with the two scars he has on his face but inside he's a gentle man that loves his child, wife and his clan.

Shikaku had been out to look over the deer's when he heard the shouts from the villagers so he knew exactly who was hiding in the cave at the end of his property. Shikaku felt sorry for the boy whom he new didn't deserve this treatment from the people in the village, this boy was a hero and a saver but no one would see it that way, although the shinobi whom were in his generation didn't hate the boy they still avoided him and treated him like he didn't exist but the younger generation whom thought that Naruto actually was the demon they all looked at him like he wasn't human.

Uzumaki Naruto held the strongest demon the kyuubi prisoned inside himself and the person whom sealed the kyuubi inside Naruto was The Yondaime, Namikaze Minato and because of that the village and some shinobi thought that Naruto was the reincarnation of the Kyuubi that would someday destroy them. Naruto himself didn't know that he had the kyuubi inside of him because the current Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen had declared it a secret and anyone who uttered a word of it to Naruto or anyone in his generation were sent to prison and later executed. But even though the parents of Naruto's generation couldn't say to their children what they thought he was they still told their children to stay away from him and not to play with him because he was a troubled child.

So this boy is not only lonely he is also hated for something he himself does not understand. Shikaku knew that the civilian counsel and the Hokages advisors had not let any clan adopt Naruto even though some had wanted to. Like the Inuzuka Clan that whit their pack mentality had wanted to adopt and raise Naruto but they like everyone else had been denied something that Tsume Inuzuka, the clan head had not been happy about.

Shikaku walked closer towards Naruto with small and lazy steps so he didn't scare him. "Naruto, my name is Nara Shikaku, clan head of the Nara Clan I promise you that I don't want to hurt you and I understand that you must be cold and scared but I only want to help you." He could see Naruto flinch when he spoke his name so he stopped and went down on his knees and held out his hand towards him. "Naruto take my hand and I will take you home till my compound where my house is, I have a son in your age his name is Shikamaru and I think he will be happy to have another boy to play with."

Naruto looked up at Shikaku with big eyes filled with tears but when Shikaku looked back he could clearly see the flicker of hope in those sad eyes, hope that Shikaku would not hurt him like the other have. "Please don't hurt me" Naruto whispered so low that Shikaku almost didn't hear him. "It's alright Naruto, take my hand and I will bring you someplace safe and worm."

Naruto slowly reached for the hand that were so much bigger than his, the first thing he realized was that it was worm and so big that it dwarfed Naruto's own hand. Shikaku could feel that Naruto's small hand had finally taken his own so he slowly closed his own hand around Naruto's and gently tugged him so that he stood up. They looked at each other and Shikaku said "come with me Naruto". Naruto started to walk slowly after the Shikaku with his hand in his they slowly walked out of that cave and in to a future that would hopefully be better than the past he has had.

So this is my first fanfic and I hope that it has some potential. Please leave a comment to what I should work on in the future.
