Mizuki had just finished telling Naruto about his burden and so many thoughts came into his mind. 'So the village hates me because I hold the kyuubi? But I haven't done anything, so why do they hate ME? They beat me, yell at me, make fun of me, and call me names. And jiji knew…..he knew all this time? But he always said that they hated me because of my pranks. He….he lied to me…...if he lied about that what else did he lie about? Did….he lie about my parents ...but…..why? If he lied about that than what else did he lie about? If even Hokage lies to me, who else is lying? Do Teuchi and Ayame even really care about me? What if all they are doing is keeping an eye on me, to make sure that I don't do anything bad? That…..just means…..that I don't have anyone I can really believe,not even Iruka. He knew about this and kept it from me. No one likes me, it's all just something they were told to do…..I'm ...alone…' he thought, while also shutting out the world, not wanting to deal with everything he just learned. He didn't want to deal with the reality of being in a world where everyone was against him
Mizuki gave a mad smirk as Naruto was standing there with his head down. He pulled out the large shuriken on his back before he threw it at Naruto in an attempt to kill the boy
Iruka was able to jump in front of the shuriken and took it in the back. He was standing protectively over Naruto. He couldn't see Naruto's eyes but he assumed that the boy was feeling sad at hearing the reason why the village was cruel to him. Coughing a bit of blood he began to speak "...Naruto….you need to run"
Naruto spoke in a soft monotone "Iruka ...why did you do that?"
Iruka grimaced a bit "because you're not the kyuubi. I …..may have also thought that before but after *cough* having you as a student, I can tell that you are Naruto Uzumaki not the Kyuubi. You…. "
Before Iuka cold continue Naruto spoke up interrupting him "no…..why do you block that when you don't really care about what happens to me"
Iruka was shocked by the question but even more so the way it was said. It was…..cold. He was suddenly shoved to the side by Naruto's hand and he watched as Naruto walked forward towards Mizuki
Said man laughed at how the boy walked forward "so the Kyuubi chooses to die by his superior! Fine, I'll grant you that" he then grabbed a kunai and launched himself down towards Naruto
Naruto for his part didn't move. He kept his head down and waited for Mizuki. Once the man made a swipe at Naruto, the boy brought his hand up and caught Mizuki by the wrist.
Mizuki was shocked to see the dead last of the academy catch his attack. He began to tug his arm to try and get out of the boys grip but he found that he was unable to.
Naruto squeezed hard on the mans wrist causing a grunt of pain to come out of him. Naruto continued to squeeze until he heard a *snap* which was followed by a scream of pain before he opened his hand and let go
Mizuki dropped his kunai and cradled his wrist as he could feel that it had been broken. He glared back at the boy who still didn't lift his head but Mizuki could see the small tells of a smile on his face
Naruto bent down and picked up the kunai that Mizuki dropped before he began to walk to the man with the smile still on his face and his hair still covering his eyes. Once he was two feet away he finally lifted his head.
When Mizuki looked into the boys eyes he felt a shiver run up his spine as the look in his eyes seemed cold. Before he could say a snide remark he felt a sharp pain in his stomach, looking down he saw the kunai he dropped buried to it's hilt in his stomach. On the hilt was a hand and looking up the arm, he saw that it was Naruto who just stabbed him
Naruto twisted the kunai back and forth a bit caused Mizuki to cough up blood and in a quick motion he swiped it to his left, bring a large splash of blood to spray all over the grass and a bit of it on Naruto's face.
Mizuki took a few steps clutching at his stomach trying to keep anything else from spilling out as he felt his intestine slip out a bit. "AAARRRGGHHH!" he glared back at Naruto but his glare died when he saw the look on the boys face. The boy looked at him impassively, as if this was something that was beneath him but after a few seconds a cruel smirk showed on his face
"What's wrong Mizuki? You look hurt" Naruto asked in a cruel mock concerned tone. The smile on his face showed that he had enjoyed doing what he did as well as mocking the man
Iruka was stunned silent as he saw what Naruto had just done. A thought came to his mind as he saw the cruel enjoyment he was showing 'don't tell me the kyuubi has taken control!'
Mizuki for the first time felt fear and it was all because of the boy. He had done some despicable things before: sell out secrets, cause mobs, kill his teammate, but the way the Kyuubi brat was looking at him felt like he was looking into the eyes of evil made flesh. This thought brought up another sense of hatred for the boy "so the kyuubi finally shows his true colors! HA! I knew you would show it sooner or...ack!"
Naruto sped up to Mizuki and wrapped his hands around the man's neck and began to squeeze "it's funny really. You say that I show my true colors, which is true but your wrong in thinking that I am the kyuubi."
Mizuki didn't know where his hands should be: trying to remove the hands around his neck to get some much needed air or the gaping hole that's bleeding so his hands kept going to both, cover the blondes arms and hands in more blood
Naruto smiled as he could start to see the light leaving Mizuki's eyes and the futile gasps for air he was giving but he heard a voice that ruined his mood.
"Naruto! Put him done at once!"
Naruto looked to his right to see the hokage and an Anbu team surrounding him. He sneered at them before going back to killing Mizuki
Hiruzen saw this and spoke again with authority "NARUTO! Release him!"
"...no"
Hiruzen was shocked to hear Naruto speak in such an uncaring manner. Never before has he heard Naruto speak like that nor has he seen him do anything like this. He really didn't want to do this to the boy but he had to. He signaled for a couple of his anbu to subdue the boy and they responded immediately
Naruto was tackled away from Mizuki and was pushed face first into the dirt. He turned his head to glare up at the couple of Anbu that were on top of him as he struggled to get out of their grasp
Hiruzen looked at the downed form of Mizuki who not only gasping for air desperately as his breathing was becoming more shallow, but also trying to keep his already dripping intestines from coming out any more. He looked at his anbu team and spoke "I want two of you to take both Iruka and Mizuki to the hospital at once. I want Iruka's statement about what happened here!"
Two of the three remaining Anbu nodded their heads and went to the two fallen chunin. One crouching down to Mizuki and shunshined away, while the other went to Iruka, removed the large shuriken and placed a hand on the chunin's shoulder
Iruka glanced at Naruto and couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness at what had happened to Naruto. After a second of this thought he was taken away
Hiruzen walked up to the two Anbu that were holding down Naruto and glanced at the boys face as he continued to struggle. The look on the boys face was one of hatred and it was aimed at him. Hiruzen had a thought run through his head 'the kyuubi must be influencing the boy
"What's wrong jiji? Something you want to ask me? Or maybe you want to tell me something that I should have known before!?"
Hiruzen shook his head until he looked at the anbu "take him to my office and keep him restrained. Then I want one of you to retrieve Inoichi"
The anbu nodded their heads until they shunshined away to the hokage office
Hiruzen looked at the area that was once a battleground of the three. His eyes stopped at the pool of blood that came from Mizuki 'what could have caused him to do this?' and with that thought, he shunshined himself to his office
~hokage office~
Once Hiruzen arrived, he was met with the sight of a Anbu that had deep cuts in his arms and torso as well as a bleeding hand, tying Naruto up in ninja wire as said blonde was struggling against the wire "what happened?"
The anbu had finished tying up the blonde and turned to the hokage "once my fellow anbu member had left to retrieve Inoichi, Naruto bit my hand to get out of my grasp and immediately pulled out a kunai and attacked. He had gotten a few in due to my surprise but I was able to restrain him"
Naruto was glaring hatefully at the two but remained silent until a smile came to his face "so….is Mizuki still alive? Or is he finally dead?"
Hiruzen felt dread at how nonchalantly the words came out of the boys mouth. He turned to the boy before walking to his chair "don't assume you will remain in control kyuubi." he pulled out a small tag before tossing it to the boys forehead "you will return Naruto at once!"
Naruto just gave a laugh at what the hokage had said but he said nothing else
Hiruzen was confused at how the sealing tag that should have pushed the kyuubi's influence back into the seal, did nothing. Before he could think further on the matter there was a knock on the door "enter"
Through the door came Inoichi being escorted by the anbu that left. Inoichi looked to the tied up boy before looking to the Hokage "sir, what did you need me for?"
Hiruzen had explained what had happened during the Mizuki incident, which had caused the mind walker to looked at the boy shocked before looking back at him and Hiruzen got to the point of his request "I would like you to enter his mind and erase the event from his mind"
This wasn't the first time that he was requested to do something like this but he had never done it to a child before and he felt some hesitation in doing so "sir, are you sure you want me to do this?"
Hiruzen nodded as he felt that this might snap Naruto back into control "yes. I fear the even might have given the kyuubi the chance to take control. I believe it would be best if it was removed from his mind as no child should have this kind of memory"
Inoichi nodded his head in understanding "very well sir". He then moved to be in front of Naruto who had such hate in his ice cold eyes and went through his clan jutsu hand signs "Mind transfer jutsu!"
~Naruto's mindscape~
Inoichi found himself in ankle deep water and what looked to be a large sewer system. He looked around as he began to focus on where the memories should be until he heard a voice behind him
"Hahahaha looks like we have an uninvited guest"
Inoichi spun around, and looked up into the eyes of Kyuubi. On instinct he jumped back and got into a defensive position but to his surprise the fox on gave a chuckle at the action
"What do you think you could even do to me you little ningen"
Inoichi then noticed that the kyuubi was behind bars that was locked with a seal. He relaxed his stance a bit but kept his guard up as he took a few steps back towards the hallway that was opposite to the cage. Once he was far enough away to know that the fox couldn't reach him, he turned around and began walking down the hall.
"Your wasting your time"
This caught Inoichi by surprise and he turned to look at the kyuubi, who had his head on his paw and giving him a smirk "what do you mean?"
The kyuubi's smirk grew "you came in here to try and remove the memory that your old monkey leader said caused the change in personality in my jailer. But doing that will do nothing". The fox could tell that the mind walker didn't believe him so he stretched out his paw, out beyond the bars and pointed down the hall "see for yourself. All I have to say is that even I feel sorry for the little brat"
Inoichi just turned back into the hallway and began his journey. After a few minutes of walking towards his destination, Inoichi heard movement in front of him. Walking forward a bit faster he saw something bolt away from him. Thinking that this could be something that doesn't belong he ran after it. Whatever he was chasing was small and agile but not fast enough to lose him. A bit more chasing and he Inoichi saw that the sewer walls were becoming wood. The water he was running in was now wooden floors. He slowed his run into a walk and slowly moved further in. He then heard whimpering coming from ahead of him and he made his way towards the sound. After a bit more walking he saw what it was, a small child huddle in a corner clutching onto something. Moving closer he soon came to realize that it was Naruto, but it looked like he was only four years old, wearing a torn up white shirt and tan shorts. The boy looked like he had been starved for months as he was extremely skinny and Inoichi could see some bruises and dried blood on his forehead. The boy was trembling in what looked like fear and Inoichi came to the conclusion that this was a memory
The little boy Naruto looked up to look in the direction of Inoichi and his eyes grew wide in terror "g-go away! Don't hurt me! I didn't do anything wrong, so leave me alone!"
The boy clutched onto the object in his arms and Inoichi could see that it was the hokage hat "this must be a memory that he had a long time ago. Poor kid"
"Does this satisfy you?"
Inoichi heard the voice behind him and was about to turn his head but he felt a hand grip the back of his neck and force him to look forward
"Does this make you happy? To see what you villagers had done to him?"
Inoichi was about to say something but the hand squeezed hard, causing him to grunt in pain
"...heheheh you think this is a memory, don't you?" the voice didn't wait for Inoichi to respond "you fucking moron. This isn't a memory, this is the Naruto you people have been dealing with all this time"
Inoichi's eyes grew wide at the implication that the voice just said. normally, the mental representation of someone will show up as how they would look in reality but there are cases where the representation shows how they really are. And if what the voice said was true then this was such a case. The bright, smiling, energetic prankster that the village all knew about was really this small child that was afraid. The hokage hat seemed to be a symbol that he had clung to as a lifeline. The thought hurt Inoichi's heart but before he could say anything he felt something pierce his chest. Looking down he saw it was a small fist that was then pulled out. Turning around he finally saw who was the one talking and his eyes grew wide again at what he saw. It was the normal twelve year old Naruto, wearing his trademark jumpsuit but the eyes were different. Instead of the bright blue eyes he had seen the boy have, the whites of the eyes were pitch black, as if they would lead to an abyss and the pupil-less iris' were as red as blood
The twelve year old looking Naruto gave a sadistic smirk before he grabbed Inoichi's head hard causing a grunt of pain "you wanted to remove the memory that caused him to be the way he is now, well HERE!" Naruto began to shove every beating, every insult, every negative experience into Inoichi's mind "feel the pain that we went through. The sadness that we felt…...the DESPAIR!" after Naruto was finished, he let go of Inoichi's head and the mid walker faded out of the mindscape
"I'll be hokage one day"
Naruto looked up to see his other self trembling as he clutched the hat closer and spoke in a broken voice
"I'll be hokage and everyone will finally like me. They won't hate me anymore and ...I'll have friends"
Yami turned around and walked away, choosing to leave his other self alone to hold onto the dream
"I will be hokage one day *sniff* *hic* you'll see"
Yami had a sad look on his face as he continued to walk away. He said one last thing before going back into the shadows "I'm sorry….but we will never be hokage…..."
~Hokage office~
Inoichi had come out of Naruto's mind and relayed everything to the hokage. Including the experiences that were shown to him
Hiruzen felt his heart break at everything that he heard. For so long he thought that he was helping Naruto yet here he is hearing that the happy boy he would see so often was nothing more than a lie and that the boy tied up in front of him was what was bottled up for so long "Naruto ...forgive me"
"Heh heh heh hahahaha HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH"
Everyone looked to Naruto began to laugh with cruelty in his voice "'forgive you'? But jiji isn't this what you wanted? For me to be hurt everyday of my life. For me to be everyone's punching bag"
Hiruzen looked into Naruto's eyes and he felt like his heart had broken. The eyes that once were like a clear blue ocean, full of life and compassion were now an ice cold blue that would have no care if he killed him now
"face it old man!"
Hiruzen now had tears in his eyes
"This is all your fault!"
He could not take the look in the boys eyes anymore, the coldness and the clear threat the boy now posed to the village "Anbu…..take him to a restraining cell….. And seal his chakra"
The anbu picked Naruto up from the wires and began to walk out of the office
Before they left Naruto spoke once more "I will kill you hokage. Be sure of that"
Once they were gone, Hiruzen fell to his knees as his hokage hat fell off his head and laid there on the floor "what have I done?"
The end
Another one-shot that I came up with
This one shot was my response to all the neglect fics that had Naruto forgive everyone. nothing wrong with them, but it bugged me, I mean yeah, I'm sure that he would but it's like that for almost all of them, even some of the darker ones, he always forgives or leaves them alone and I needed to bring something that would show that, sometimes there is no forgiveness, especially after years of torment.
This is also a message about hiding what you truly feel and how keeping it inside can cause changes. Honestly there are a couple of these in here but I'll leave you with the main one
Consider this a late Halloween present
