Chapter 1-Prologue
(In a back alley way of Konoha)
"Go away what did I ever do" a four year old Naruto said after being corned by a group of drunk civilians after a long chase through the street of Konoha.
A couple of the civilians moved closer to the cowering boy
"what did you do, you know what you did demon!" an old civilian said going right into Naruto's face with as much hate as possible trying to scare the demon
The rest of the civilians started to get closer
"we got it cornered now I say we torture the demon for what he did to our families" a random civilian said
The civilians all agreed
"stay away please I didn't do anything" Naruto said curled in a ball to scaried to move
The old civilian that is in Naruto's face picks Naruto up by the hem of his shirt and throws him into the center of the whole mob
They started to move in on Naruto
Naruto tried to get up but was then kicked in the ribs
"please stop"Naruto cryed while being beaten from all angles
"what did I ever do to deserve this" Naruto thought sadly while hopeing someone would save him like they usually do
So Naruto just closes his eyes and started to take the pain without shouting out in pain so that maybe they would leave him alone
(Academy twenty minutes earlier)
"Hayate Gekko you pass" Matsue sensei said
"Here's your headband and make us proud" Asuhi sensei said beside his partner
"Thank you Asuhi sensei" Hayate said greatfully bowing his head slightly while tieing his headband on and exiting the exam room
"He's gonna go far" Asuhi said
Matsue could only nod in agreement at that statement knowing it to be true
They got up and followed Hayate out of the room to give a speech to the new genin
"good job Hayate" Gin said while giving Hayate a pat on the back
"Thanks Gin" Hayate said proudly
More of the genin started to approach Hayate to congradulate him on passing hi tet to become genin
Asuhi and Matsue appeared in the front of the class
"The students who passed please take a seat and be quiet we got a couple of things to tell you, the ones who did not pass try again next year , I have faith in all of you o try your best" Asuhi sensei told them
The students who passed sat down and the ones who didn't left
"Ok, now genin of Konoha you start your ninja career from this day on you represent this village and the will of fire so show how strong we have grown and show the world how great of a ninja you can be" Matsue sensei said with passion
Hayate gave a small smile, "I will sensei, I will protect everyone in this village and show how strong the way of the sword truly is" Hayate thought
Most of the genin started to cheer and talk between one another
"I'm finally a ninja Hayate, I cannot wait to show what I am made of in the field" Gin said shaking him slightly
"I hope I am on your team Gin" Hayate said happily looking at Gin
"I hope I'm on your team to because we would make an awesome team how we fight, with your sword techniques and me with my taijutsu and genjutsu" Gin said smiling
"Quiet down now "Matsue shouted
The students looked toward their sensei quietly
"Now be here tomorrow at eight-thirty to find out who your team Is going to be" Asuhi sensei said
The genin all started to rush out of the academy to greet their parents to show them that they passed
"See you tomorrow Hayate" Gin said running off to his mom
"See you Gin" Hayate said waving to Gin
Hayate left the academy grounds to get something to eat because his father was out on a mission right now Hayate entered a dango stand and sat down
The waiter walked over to him "What would you like sir" the waiter asked
"I would like four sticks of dango and some tea please" Hayate said
The waiter started to walk away" your order will be out in a minute" the waiter said walking to the back
When the waiter walked away Hayate started to look around till his food came, two people were whispering at the table near the table he was at so he started to listen to the conversation
"The demon is going to get what he deserves, I saw him running off with a bunch of civilians chasing him" old man said
"Are you sure they will be able to kill it" a younger guy asked
"I hope so or I will try and do it if they fail, that demon does not deserve to live" old guy replied
Hayate rushed out of the dango stand as fast as he could
Hayate started running all over trying to find the kid before the mod could kill him so he started to listen for any screams from the kid or any shouts from the mob that went after the kid
He didn't hear any scream or shouts o he turned don another street, Hayate ran pat a ramen stand and he started to hear people shouting so he ran up a street and turned into a alley ay which the shouts ere coming from, he saw a huge mob attacking the kid he was looking for
He hot forward a fast as he could
(Naruto)
"Someone help me please" Naruto thought he knew if he screamed he would get beaten worse so he showed no signs of fear of anger on his face and kept it blank
Naruto heard shouting from the mob, then the mob stopped beating him, he didn't know why they would so Naruto opened up his eye and sa that the mob moved back quite a bit with someone standing in front of him with sword
"Get out of here now" Hayate shouted to the mob of civilians
"Why are you protecting the demon he does not deserve being protected he deserve to be tortured" a random civilian shouted
"He is a little kid, not the demon which you accuse of him being, so get out of here now or I will make you" Hayate said determined
A civilian rushed forward, with a knife drawn
"If your protecting the demon, you will die to then" he shouted charging Hayate
Hayate got in a kenjutsu stance drawing his blade while moving with the stance; he stepped to the side from an attempt at a tab
Then Hayate grabbed the civilian's wrist and snapped it, the civilian fell to his knees from the pain, he then followed it up by bringing the guard of his sword up and truck the civilian in the temple and knocked him out
Two more of the civilian charged hayate get into a ready stance and went to the side and stabbed one civilian in his knee then cut a shallow vertical slash up his body to his shoulder, the civilian drops forward and passes out from blood loss
Hayate ducked under another a swing from the other civilian and slashed across his midsection making him drop from blood loss near the other civilian
He looks at the other civilians; they turn scared and run away
Hayate sighs and turns around to face the kid while sliding the sword back in the sheath
Naruto started crawling back away from Hayate still frightened by what happened to him
"It's ok I am not going you like those stupid civilians" Hayate says to a confused and scared Naruto
"you don't think I'm a demon" Naruto asked confused
"no I don't, it' because your not a demon jut a boy" Hayate says to Naruto
He walks up to Naruto and picks him up
"What are you doing" Naruto shouts
"Taking you to the hospital to get treated for these injuries you got from the attack from the mob of civilians" Hayate says to a distraught Naruto
Naruto relaxes while Hayate starts to run to the hospital carrying him on his back
Not realizing that the hurt civilians on the ground were now gone
Hayate ran down the streets as fast as he could to the hospital
"What's your name" Naruto ask
"It's Hayate Gekko and I am twelve years old" Hayate replies "what's your name kid" Hayate asks after a couple seconds
"My name is Uzumaki Naruto and I am four years old" Naruto responds
(A Couple of minutes later)
"Are you a ninja" Naruto asks "yes I am I just became a ninja today before I saved you" hayate says
"Cool I want to be a ninja to like you Hayate" Naruto says, slowly starting to pass out
"Really, well then you're going to have to work pretty hard then, can you do that Naruto" Hayate asks
Hayate sees the hospital coming up so he picks up his speed
"I'm gonna ork as hard as I can, I'll be the bet ninja ever" Naruto said softly falling unconscious
He looks over his shoulder at Naruto seeing that he passed out
"I guess his body was damaged pretty badly, I got to hurry" Hayate thought getting to the hospital and rushing in to the front counter, when Hayate was about to tell the nurses about Naruto a hand landed on his shoulder
Hayate look up and sees an anbu
"What Is it anbu-san" Hayate asks
The anbu points to a room down the hall "the room is ready for him already the hokage set it up for you, I told him what happened" the tiger masked anbu said
They rushed to the room
When they got to the room two nurses took Naruto off his back and layed him on the bed, and started to heal him
Hayate walked to the bed once the nurses finished up" will Naruto be ok" Hayate asks the one nurse
"Yes, he is stable he will be perfectly fine when he wake up so don't worry too much" the Nurse replied
"Thank you for helping him Hayate" a voice said from behind
Hayate turns around to spot the sandaime hokage
"Hokage-sama why are you here" Hayate asks
Sandaime walks up to Naruto's bed once Naurto was hooked up and healed
"I am here for Naruto, he is like a grandson to me so I had to make sure he was alright" sandaime says to Hayate
"Thanks for saving him Hayate, those civilians will be punished for this they still have not learned yet" the sandaime says angrily for what they did to Naruto again
"no problem Hokage-sama, just helping someone who needs it" Hayate pronounced
Hayate got closer to Naruto's bed and took off the sword on his back placing it up against his bed
"This sword is for him to learn and use if he ants, I'm getting the family blade tonight" hayate says to sandaime, while turning around and starts walking towards the door
"He said he wanted to be a ninja so I wanted to help a little bit and that sword is my way of helping" Hayate says walking out the door and heading home
Sandaime looks towards narutos from, then smiles
"Naruto-kun looks like you made a decision to become a strong ninja to defend yourself and konoha, and I will support you all the way" sandaime thought while telling the nurse to tell him when Naruto wakes
Sandaime leaves heading towards the hokage tower to deal with the civilians who did this to Naruto
