WHOOP Rewrite of my first story with a new plot, so, Enjoy!

5 years after the Kyuubi attack

The streets are full of joy. Celebrations are happening all over Konoha. It appeared that there was not a care in the world for anyone in Konoha. The annual burning of the Kyuubi statue was happening soon. It was a tradition started every since the slaying of the Kyuubi, and was done at midnight. The people were cheerful, the children were playing games, the adults drinking sake, no one could possibly be having a bad day, right?

Miles away from the festival however, another more sinister celebration was going on. Several former ninja, crippled in various ways had met every year since the attack. They sat around bars and discussed how great their careers would have been before the demon had attacked. The last couple years though, they had discussed a different topic.

The demon child.

The kyuubi brat.

He had several more names, but the point is, each ninja had decided that the beast that had taken their careers was reborn inside of him. They normally would grumble about how he is ruining the good name of konoha with his existence, but ignore him otherwise. However, this year, the elders of konoha, along with select members of the council, both civilian and ninja, put out a contract to these crippled ninja. There were 24 ninja who had not committed suicide after realizing their careers were done, been infected with a deadly form of chakra poisoning, or survived the kyuubi attack with no serious injuries. These 24 men and women were bitter and jealous of those who were lucky enough to either die, or not be injured like them. There were 5 Yamanaka, 2 Akimichi, 3 Inuzuka, 5 Hyuuga, 6 Uchiha, and 3 ninja who did not belong to a clan. They each had their own reasons for hating the demon with a passion.

The Yamanaka and Inuzuka were caught in a bijuu bomb and had lost limbs in their attempt to escape. Most Yamanaka had lost either whole arms and legs, while one had managed to be far enough away to only get chakra poisoning. The demon chakra had eaten away at his chakra coils and muscle, making it impossible to be more than a civilian. The Inuzuka who were at the edge of the bomb ended up with a loss off their sense of smell, their partner, or both. For the Inuzuka, the sense of smell makes them almost useless when it comes to tracking, and for a clan of hunter ninja, this loss ended any career they might have had.

There was a couple, The Akimichi, who had used their body enlarging techniques to protect or attack. This particular Akimichi couple had been using their techniques to enlarge their body and protect the outer wall. When the male, Choutatsu, had attempted to grab one of the kyuubis tails, he was rewarded with the demons chakra burning his hands off. As he fell in agony, his wife, Kira, had enlarged her body and covered him so that he could not be hurt. The kyuubi spotted them and impaled her with several of his tails, severing her spine and causing her to be forced to use a wheelchair from now on.

The Hyuuga and Uchiha were blinded in the first defensive maneuver in order to find out if the kyuubi was an illusion. The sudden sight of such a large amount of chakra condensed in one place blinded over 300 assorted Hyuuga and Uchiha ninja. These men and women either killed themselves for the loss of their precious eyes, or were banished. Thees 11 men and women were the only ones left in this first wave who were not killed by the kyuubi, did not kill themselves during the kyuubi attack, after the attack, or after being banished.

The last three ninja, were the only three ninja who were not from a clan to survive the kyuubi attack with no true injuries. Iruka's parents had been killed in front of him. Mizukis home was crushed, along with his family. Taio`s only family, his team, were killed as he cowered in fear. These three men were the ones who most wanted vengeance. Their lives were ruined, and their only outlet was a child. The other ninja were resigned to their fate, but Mizuki and Taio were furious. They wanted to hurt the thing that caused their lives to go to shit, and their target?

Naruto Uzumaki, the Kyuubi child.

When the council approached these ninja about obtaining their much talked about revenge, they initially were skeptical about their true intentions. However, with the push of both Taio and Mizuki, as well as the 100,000 Ryu(1) payout for each of them as payment for the job, they agreed. They only needed a distraction for the hokage so that they would not be caught and killed. The solution? Last second council meeting.

Council Chambers, 16 Minutes before Midnight

" Anyone want to explain to me exactly why we were called to this emergency council meeting?" The Sandaime Hokage, The God of Shinobi, The Professor, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and an extremely powerful, and annoyed ninja asked the rest of the council.

"Hokage-Sama, there is a very important matter that must be discussed. As you know, the boy has been alive for 5 years now. I propose that this has been long enough for the demon to fuse with the boys body. I suggest we train him, or have him killed for the sake of the village!" Danzo, one of the villages elders said.

The Sandaime rubbed his forehead with his index and thumb before he pinned Danzo down with a stare that would make lesser men nervous, but the elder simply shrugged it off. " Elder Danzo, time and time again, I have, and will continue too, refuse your proposal. His name is Naruto and he deserves a chance at life just like everyone else."

The Uchiha clan head, Fugaku, yelled out in anger, " It is not a child, it is a demon and should be treated as such!"

The hokage brought out the full force of his killing intent, which was amplified by his anger and annoyance at being forced out of his bed at 30 minutes to midnight only to be forced to sit through a meeting over a decision that had been brought up almost every month since he had decided on it. The Uchiha head was struggling to maintain his composure, his body trembling in fear, his breaths coming out in short gasps. The rest of the ninja council looked on in apathy, thinking he deserved it for various reasons, ranging from not being able to keep his mouth shut, too thinking that he was asking for it for attacking a child. The civilians looked on in fear, trembling from just the leftover killing intent that was spilling off the hokage.

" I will forgive you this time for your outburst because it is late and I am sure you were aroused from your sleep as suddenly as I was. However. Naruto Uzumaki is not a demon. He is not an 'it'. If I hear you refer to him as such, anyone in here, refer to him as such, you will die. Am I clear Fugaku? I will not repeat myself. This will be the last warning you get. UNDERSTOOD?"

The Uchiha shook his head and the pressure was released from him. He was left to gather himself, as the hokage turned to the civilians and asked in the same tone, "Why was this meeting called. There is no point, I have heard nothing new being discussed, and im becoming extremely annoyed!"

The civilians all looked at each other without saying a word, several looking more nervous than they should be. None of them spoke after several tense moments, which caused the hokage to narrow his eyes before he spoke in a whisper but was heard throughout the entire chambers.

"Speak. Now. Why are we Here?!"

The civilians maintained their silence once again, the same council members who looked nervous before looking even more shaken up and nervous. The hokage stared at them, his rage slowly building, before he felt it. A genjutsu. On him. And the entire council chambers. He slowly stood. His hat shadowed his face. He pulsed his chakra, and shattered the illusion around himself and the council chambers. The civilians who were already on edge shrieked and tried to run. The Hokage barked out his order before the first civilian even reached the door.

"Detain them. Now."

It was said in the smallest of whispers, but they were followed as if he was outing them in the harshest tone. The civilians were grabbed and transported in less than a second. The Hokage looked around before he snapped his fingers. The anbu guarding the door appeared in seconds. He kneeled before his hokage.

" How long have we been in the council chambers?"

The anbu immediately responded. "4 Hours Hokage-Sama."

The Hokages killing intent spilled into the chambers, as he dashed out to his office. The last anyone heard was his cursing the civilians and wondering what the hell had they done?

4 Hours Prior

It was a quarter to midnight and the ninja had managed to grab the demon child out of his bed and transport him to the forest of death. He was bound and gagged and tied to a tree. He was crying in fear but they all were blinded by their hate. Taio was the first to vent his hate.

"So, you think you can just ruin our lives and go free, do you? You think you deserve to live a carefree life? You RUINED MY LIFE!" With that Taio dashed forward and stabbed a kunai through his thigh, all the way to the hilt. "Suffer you bastard! You will not die a painless death, you will hurt like I have hurt, you will cry, as each of us has cried, and when you truly understand the agony you have caused each and every ninja here, then, only then, will I allow you the sweet release of death."

With that Taio backed up and began the seals for the fireball jutsu. From her wheelchair, Kira gasped out in shock. "Wait, you want us to torture it? Demon or not, it has the face of a child! I-i don't think I can-" Mizuki interrupted with a few words to boost her conscience. "Think about it. The child is dead, we are simply rescuing his soul! By torturing the demon, the child will come to be released from his torment and allowed to go free!"

With these words, he walked towards Taio, and used his own wind style technique, Wind Style Great Breakthrough, which amplified the fireball and made it twice as big. The others needed no push to join in, but the Akimichi glanced nervously at each other before agreeing to do the job they were paid to do.

The torture went on for 4 hours. Naruto was impaled with earth spikes, burned with flames, cut with wind, doused in water and then electrified with lightning. The hyuuga cut off his tenketsu to force the kyuubis chakra to open the tenketsu which slowed down his healing. The uchiha used most of their elemental techniques on the child that could not defend himself. Choutatsu began to get more into it over time as he used his body manipulation technique to shrink his arm stubs, find a laceration and enlarge his stub inside his cut, ripping his skin and causing massive internal bleeding.

Naruto had never been forced to endure such agony. The Yamanaka were forced to use their mind techniques to keep him conscious. He would have fallen into unconsciousness within the first 5 minutes but the Yamanaka wanted him to feel the pain, and so they forced him to endure it. Naruto tried to keep a hold of his mind, his humanity, but there is only so much pain a person can endure, before they break. He broke about 2 hours into the torture, amazing for a 5 year old.

The Kyuubi, who was completely focused on healing the damage being caused over and over, could do nothing as he felt his chakra attempt to heal his mind, melding the pieces of his psyche together, giving the boy some of the Kyuubis memories, his power, and boosting his intelligence. He enhanced everything that made the boy strong while dulling what made him weak. His senses increased, while his natural cheerfulness and trust of others was completely erased.

The Kyuubi, then decided, rather than heal the body, ill just take it and be free! What he didn't expect is that when his chakra stopped trying to heal the boys injuries and focused on attacking his mind, his mind fought back. His own power turned against him, and as he felt his power wrap around his own body and drain his very being into the mind of the child, he lashed out and tried one last desperate attempt to keep what made him the bijuu he was. He failed.

Naruto's mind, warped and haphazardly put together managed to overcome the Kyuubis consciousness and take the power it had, along with his memories and knowledge. How? Because when the Kyuubi attempted to forced the rest of his power he had into Narutos mind, he didn't expect the seal to begin draining his chakra. When the seal began the drain and conversion from his demon chakra to human, Narutos mind used the demon chakra it was given to heal, to attack Kyuubis consciousness. Powerless because of the seals drain, he was absorbed in less than a minute. However when his consciousness lashed out at Naruto, he managed to imprint himself into Naruto's mind, giving him a link into his consciousness. However it wasn't enough to stop himself from being dragged into the dark recesses of Narutos mind.

This all happened in less than 30 seconds in real time.

While this was happening, the Yamanaka chuckled as they all felt the child's mind break, before they felt the Kyuubis chakra trying to fix it, before they could withdraw from the boys mind they felt the demon chakra lash out at the intruders destroying their own minds and leaving them in comas. They collapsed unnoticed at the back of the group.

Taio, the closest to the boy, recognized something different about the boy the fastest, as he was attacking him the closest. He had stopped crying and was rather limp. Taio went to check, annoyed tat he might have accidentally killed the demon before he wanted too. "Hey, wake up you little-"

As he reached out to shake the boy, his hand was grabbed and before he could do anything else, he was pulled forward and a kunai was buried to the hilt in his left eye socket.

The rest of the group looked on in shock as his body slumped to the ground and Naruto cut himself free. His eyes still closed and covered in his own blood, he dashed forward and released a chakra claw that impaled the Inuzuka before pinning them to a tree and burning them alive from the inside.

Naruto had his back turned and the Uchiha and Hyuuga each ran to attack him, when chakra tails came from his back and impaled them all. He dropped the corpses onto the ground, and walked to the Akimichi. Kira tried to wheel her chair away, and a tail snaked out and grabbed her by the neck. Choutatsu used his clans technique to enlarge his arm in order to punch him in the side of the head. Naruto created a claw to catch the stub before another tail reached out and stabbed through his eye. As he broke Kira's neck, he turned to Mizuki and Iruka. He opened his eyes to reveal blue eyes, but where there was white, now was red. He smirked before appearing in front of Iruka and slashed the bridge of his nose.

"ARGH!" Iruka screamed in agony as the demon chakra burned the skin and left a scar but it seemed to be increasing rather than decreasing as it was healed. He eventually passed out, when he was picked up and tossed into Mizuki.

Naruto looked at Mizuki and said, "Run. Run, and never look back. Because if I think, if I even feel like you might have turned back, I will disembowel you and bathe in your blood. Get lost."

He said this in a tone so cold and apathetic, he might as well have been reciting a passage from a history book. But Mizuki saw the red in his eyes begin to bleed over and knew he would follow through. He backed up, but before he turned, he asked, "Why did you let us live?"

Naruto closed his eyes and walked away to sit at the bottom of the tree he was tortured at, and said, in the same tone, " Because I can."

Mizuki took that chance to run away and Naruto calmly waited.

2 Hours Later

The Hokage and his best trackers managed to find Naruto's sent and tracked it to the forest of death. They rushed forward and arrived in a clearing, where Naruto was sitting calmly with his eyes closed, almost meditating. As they arrived Naruto got up and without opening his eyes, said in his cold voice, "Hokage-sama, we have quite a lot to discuss, don't we?"

The Sandaime looked around the clearing filled with dead bodies and Naruto, covered in blood, and sighed before thinking to himself, 'I'm too old for this shit.'

Chapter 2 Preview

"So Kyuubi, Whats this about a bloodline?"

"Iruka, why did we find traces of your DNA at the scene?"

"Look brat, I may have been your fathers student, but your not the first orphan whose parents I knew, you don't see me taking care of them either, fuck off."

"YOU DAMN BRAT, DONT YOU TELL THEM IM A DAMN WOMAN! I WILL MAKE YOU SUFFER, NOOOOOOO!"

Whoohoo, so I hope you guys read and review, I think its pretty good, but I don't know if you can tell, the ending was written in a haze of Benadryll and NyQuil. I THINK it makes sense, but uh, please let me know. Expect an update within the next 2-3 weeks, im trying to get used to writing bigger chapters, so yea. Also, any OC's I introduce tend to die at the end of the chapter, so don't worry about them being all that important. If they live, know that they will be important, otherwise they are for back story purposes only, to fill in plot holes that I imagined might be in my story, such as why a 5 year old would be conscious through torture? Because I say so? Yea I don't believe that so why would you?! Anyway, Thanks For Reading!
