The world is rather cruel, this was a given fact that almost all take in. This world is not meant for the faint of heart nor for those who can not work up the determination to continue forward, and is unforgiving to those who are weak. Naruto knew this well, he was weak and the villagers took advantage of that, they ignored him, beat him, refused to sell him food or equipment. They kept him weak so that the 'Demon' would get nowhere, that he would stay like them, Sheep of the mass who are lead around like puppets in a show. Naruto figured this out at a young age, and he completely rejected it.

"Naruto!, what do you think your doing" Naruto jumped startled by the sound of the orphanage caretaker "I just wanted to play with the blocks too, the other kids looked like they were having fun with it, but they left! so i figured i could try them?" Naruto responded hoping that the caretaker would just leave him be and let him play with the blocks. The caretaker immediately began stomping over to naruto, Naruto jumped scared out of his wits trying to get up and get away before the caretaker got to him. "I bought those blocks for the other kids not you monster!" the caretaker seized him by the hair and began dragging him towards his room, delirious from the pain naruto began clawing at the caretakers hands trying to get them away form his hair. The caretaker slammed open his bedroom door and threw him into the room "Don't you EVER try to steal the other kids toys again, if it werent for the hokage i would have put you in the shed outside till you turned 8 and threw you out on the street Beast" naruto whimpering from the pain, from either the caretakers physical treatment of him or the psychological damage he didnt know, curled up into a ball onto the floor, "Why... Why does everyone hate me... why do they always say such mean things, why can't i make friends?.. Why do they hurt me on my birthday?" Naruto cried, right now in this moment he was depressed, and tired. tired of being treated like this, his depression turning to anger he stood up "I won't let this continue" the 6 year old began rubbing his eyes he wouldn't let this go on, he quickley began darting around his room gathering all of his things into a small bag, rolling his small futon up naruto grabbed his things and opened the window. "This WILL end today" naruto vowed as he shoved his things through the window and climbed through.

Naruto was sprinting for all that he was worth, "He's Over there!" Naruto immediately began sprinting for more than he was worth, he had climbed out of his window and started heading towards the forest when he overheard a "Foxhunt" being planned, knowing what this meant for him and that he needed to get away as fast as he could he turned around and tried to make a break for it, when the bag tied to his back knocked over a trashcan. "What was that!" one of the men said "Check it out, if the hokage somehow ends up hearing about plans we can be sure that we will be in T&I for who knows how long!" the men immediately broke into a sprint trying to see who or what overheard them naruto was almost to the corner of the alley, he could go another way to get to the front gate and the forest beyond he didn't have to take this route. "There! Turn around an..." the man trailed off and began laughing "Looks like we dont have to hunt for the fox today boys!" Naruto began to panic, he couldn't let them catch him no matter what.

Safe, the word seemed impossible but seemingly true at the moment, Naruto had finally found refuge on the west end of the village in a whole in the wall just barely covered by a trash can, a den for some animal more than likely, but it was leagues better than what awaited him outside should he decide to leave his temporary home, What was that! naruto began hearing feet shuffling outside his safe haven "Do you think he went this way Aoba?" "Nah the people 3 streets over said he was heading south, probably trying to make it to the south gate or maybe try hide out near the akimichi restaurants down there, you know how they protect the demon" the men began walking away from the alley and making their way south. Naruto deciding that they had left began crawling out of his temporary home as fast as he could to run away, if he stayed here it was only a matter of time before one of the villagers noticed the little hole he had crawled into. immediately making his way onto the opposite street the two men from before went on he began running as fast as he could for the west gate, he would not stay in this village any longer regardless of what fate awaited him coming around the bend the alley he was in he heard someone yell "I saw him! He's heading west!" "Dammit!" naruto swore, 'how could they have seen me?' he thought, he was out of sight and it was quite dark so the fact the villagers saw a bright orange blur set him off, after all, the whole village secretly banned orange for anyone to wear so that they wouldn't mistake someone else for the fox at night. Naruto scared out of his mind and hoping for the best began heading towards the ninja areas of the village, maybe he could find a sympathizer that would help him out of this terrible situation, again thanking god or gods for his stamina he began sprinting towards what he hoped was his salvation.

Pain scorched through naruto as a kunai embedded into the wall in front of him seems like the ninja cut him across the face with that one, the ninja were certainly not sympathizers. still free and refusing to lay down and let these people torment him he spun on his heel and took a right into the next alley, kunai, kitchen knives, axes, anything that could be thrown was being thrown to slow him down, sprinting through the streets like a mouse trying to evade the hawk naruto caught sight of a massive fence, easily coming over the tops of the trees and the buildings near it 'That might be a good place to hid..' PAIN slammed into naruto like a train, one of the kunai had managed to make its way into his back, stumbling from the pain but not quite falling naruto began making his way towards the fence hoping for the love of ramen that the villagers wouldn't follow him in there, as he was racing around the buildings and avoiding all the weapons he could he spied a small hole in the fence, big enough for him to fit his bag and futon through and then crawl in after, but he needed time, searching frantically for something anything that could help him in his vendetta he spied a trashcan lid. he had lost sight of the mob temporarily around a couple bends in the streets in konoha and knew that they would not be long. he lifted the trashcan lid and threw it as hard has he could down the street to his right and immediately began to work, the sound would distract them long enough for him to get his personal belongings through the fence he decided. shoving his bag and futon through the small hole naruto began hearing the villagers again "He's not here!" "Check Again I know i heard something!" naruto gaining confidence got down and began pushing himself through the hole when he heard "Over There!" God he hated those words "He's Escaping into the training ground!" "Get him!" naruto panicking started crawling as fast as he could and finally made it through the hole, turning around he flipped the villagers the "Bird" before running as fast as he could into the forest. One of the villagers looked towards the other "Should we go in after him Mizuki?" the now named Mizuki grinned "Nah, he wont live long in training ground 44 anyway" laughing and walking away thinking their pariah would trouble them no more they walked back to the village to tell the others the good news.
