Chapter 1: Human Sacrifice! Those Who Are Born Alone.
"Monsters are not born, we are made, by bigger crueler monsters."
Naruto POV
"Sasuke today's the day I defeat you!" I yelled as I charged at him with a punch. Only for him to dodge the blow, grab my arm and throw me into the dust.
"What a loser." He mumbled before walking away.
"Alright Sasuke!" Ino yelled.
"I knew you could do it!" Sakura yelled louder.
"Well I knew you could do it first". Another girl said, and a couple of seconds left all the girls in our class were in a fist fight."
"We all knew he could do it, he does it at least twice a day". Shikmaru mumbled.
I got up dusted myself off and walked away before any of them noticed I was gone. Damn that Sasuke always acting so cool, always acting like he's so much better than everyone else. I hated that, I always have. All of the kids and all of the teachers treated me like either a parasite or a joke.
But I guess that wasn't so bad, because the townspeople ignored me altogether.
Everyday when I walked down the middle of a populated road, the people we're diverge to one side as if there was a giant wall in between them.
This is how it always was, and I didn't even know why.
All I ever heard were people mumbling things, like "he's a monster", or "why do they allow him to move freely". But before I could hear anything else all I heard was "be quiet that's forbidden. I constantly went to the third homage about it, but all he ever did was shush me up saying he was to busy.
I'm sure once I was gone he laughed at me.
He always gave me money to live, I didn't know why, but I wasn't complaining.
I opened the door to my house, only being greeted by silence.
I looked outside, to find kids playing with their parents.
Parents…
Whatever who needs them right?
Ive been alone my entire life, and I've never had any problems with it.
"Ugh". I groaned as my stomach did.
I didn't bother checking the fridge, I never exactly filled it up before hand.
Looks like I'll be going out one more time again. What fun.
I didn't bother locking the door behind me, someone always broke in, either to vandalize the place, steal something or to drop a shit on my bed.
Funniest part about it was that, at its core it was grown men pooping on a 12 year olds bed. What type of people got satisfaction in that?
"Look it's that boy". Someone muttered.
If your me, you learned to get used to people talking about you, but the problem I had with them was that they said it so loudly. Like I wasn't even there or like they wanted me to hear, which they probably did.
"Hey store owner". I said walking in.
He stared at me. "Get out". He grunted.
The reason I came here most of the time was because on most days he tolerated me better than most people.
My guess was that his wife told him off or something.
"Look can I just get this stuff." I asked passing him a list.
"Get out." He said louder and more hostile.
I ignored him and proceeded to get some some stuff. One thing I've learned is that no one wants to touch me and avoided me like the plague.
"Dammit kid I told you to leave"! He said grabbing me and throwing me out.
"What's the big deal? I've done nothing wrong!"
"Shut up kid I don't want your kind in my store, take your crap." He said throwing things at me.
"What exactly is my kind?!" I asked finally sick of taken people shit."
A crowd gathered around, some amused, others fearful, but all not afraid to show me their hatred.
"Oh great it's him again, hasn't he caused enough damage." A random voice said.
"What damage?! I've never done anything!" I yelled enraged.
Just when I thought I couldn't get madder someone threw an egg at me. It was silent for a couple of seconds, and then people threw whatever they had.
Normally I'd run, but not this time. I was curious how far they'd go, after this the third would have to give me an explanation.
After a while, people got created, one guy threw a pair of sunglasses at me, another a wig, but the guy who gets first place was the one who threw a live chicken at me.
"Naruto! What happened what did you do?" Iruka said to me.
Of course, it was always immediately my fault, it couldn't be because people are cruel and stupid, nope it had to be because the lonely orphan who lived at the edge of town was starting problems.
"Come on". He said grabbing me.
Eventually we made our way over to the hokage office.
"Sir I'm sorry to interrupt but I'm afraid Naruto got into another problem in the shop district apparently he was harassing a shop owner and some customers." Iruka said.
Of course I was.
"Naruto, is that what happened?" He asked me.
Why did he ask me? He always did, but I doubt he listened to me, and even if he did he never acted on it.
"I was just trying to buy some supplies, and the shop owner threw me out, then people started throwing stuff at me. People always talk about me like I'm some type of monster, so tell me! What do they know that I don't?" I asked.
"Naruto it's more complicated than you understand." He told me.
"And who the hell were my parents! All you ever told me was that now their gone but don't they have graves, or pictures or even fucking names!"
"Naruto that's not how you address the third hokage!" Iruka said.
"Naruto, no matter how they may treat you always understand that you are a hero, and this village owes you a debt."
"So why don't I get any respect? Everyone always treats me like I'm a nobody, no worse than that! Why don't I just disappear? I mean I've seen the way all the ninja look at me too. Why give me money? I'm sure everyone would be far happier if I was gone!" I shouted.
"Naruto Uzumaki! Enough of this talk, right now few people understand your situation but I assure you just give them time and soon they will learn to accept you." He said to me.
Time? They've had twelve years to get used to me, I doubt they ever will.
"Sure I understand sir, sorry to disturb you". I said before walking away.
I walked out ignoring all the glares I got. Whether it was because of the way I yelled at the hokage or because I was me I didn't know. Frankly I didn't care, all anyone had to do was give me one more reason.
"Naruto? Hey Naruto!"
i looked behind me immediately probably because that was the first time anyone sounded happy to see me.
It was Sakura.
"Hey Sakura." I said, not in the mood.
"Naruto have you seen Sasuke?"
"Have you checked his house?"
"Very funny, don't try to be smart, it doesn't suit you". She growled.
"Why do you girls like him anyway?"
"Are you kidding me! He's the hottest guy at school! Plus he's pretty cool and he's like the most talented kid at the academy."
"And he's also cold toward everyone, and he insults everyone, I'm way better than him!"
"Naruto are you kidding me, your annoying! And you your gross, and have horrible grades and have failed final exams like three times! Plus your kinda weird, you always sit alone like you don't have any friends."
"Hey Sakura do you think anyone would miss me if I was gone?"
Her expression changed to one of confusion.
"Well obviously, I mean you have a family right?"
Ouch.
"Thanks Sakura, good bye!" I said running ahead.
"See you tomorrow!" She yelled.
"I wouldn't count on it!" I yelled back.
I could tell she was about to say something, but I sounded her out. There was one more person I had to see.
I looked at his usual location and there he was Mr. Perfect.
I always watched what he did after school, but all he did was come to this lake, then went into the Uchiha manor. I never really went further than that because it had a bunch of yellow tape around it.
"Are you going to watch me like you do everyday loser?"
I jolted back. So he knew? Guess I shouldn't be surprised.
"Sasuke Uchiha". I said coming up next to him.
"Do you think anyone would miss you if you disappeared"? I asked him.
He looked at me with a surprised look on his face, but quickly changed it.
"No". He replied
Now it was my turn to be shocked.
"What about all the kids at the academy?"
"What about them? I'm acquaintances with some of them at best."
"What about all the girls?"
"They'll get over me, I've never understood why they found me so appealing anyway."
Me neither. I agreed.
"Well why do you think no one will miss you".
"Naruto, do you think anyone will miss you if you disappeared?"
"No." I said curious to see where he was going with this.
"Me neither for the exact same reason."
I studied him suspiciously. What did he know?
"Whaddya mean?"
"You've been watching me, think about it." He told me before getting up and walking away.
Did he just smile? No way. I thought before walking away.
Sasuke, he wasn't so bad maybe I should stay. I thought as I grabbed the knob to you home. Only for it to fall out, and for the door itself to fall. The place was destroy, the bed gone, all the windows broken, and so were the lights. The bathroom was basically ash, but the kitchen was the worst. Someone grabbed a fox from the woods, stabbed and knife through it and pinned it against the wall. With the words "Disappear or die". In all caps.
Well that decided it.
They wanted me to be gone, they wanted me to disappear, alright fine. None of them will ever see me, ever again…
