"Normal speech"
'thoughts'
"Bijuu/summon/intense Ki speech"
'Bijuu/summon thoughts'

The term Ki is something I picked up from several other naruto fanfictions. It means killer intent. It is what is often portrayed through a character being horribly frightening.

This is my first attempt at writing anything. I've always wanted to try my hand at writing and thanks to my good friend Hinakiba777 I decided to go for it.

Date: Oct 10th, 6 years after konoha was attacked by the Kyuubi

Today was a special day in konohagakure. It celebrated the defeat of the Kyuubi no kitsune and mourned the loss of the yondaime, the 4th hokage, Minato namikaze. He had died on this date exactly six years ago defending the village from the terrible Kyuubi no kitsune. The villagers believed he had killed the Kyuubi but died in the act. The truth of the matter was He had used a powerful sealing jutsu to seal the Kyuubi inside an infant boy. The only child born that horrible night. The festival was celebrated in many ways by different people; There were grand feasts set up and stores and vendors sold goods and wares along the streets And everyone drank and danced long into the night. All but one.

Naruto was the only child born on this day. Today was his birthday and you think it would be great with the festival being on the same day. It wasn't. He was feared and loathed by all in the village. They thought he was the Kyuubi brought back and so a lot of stores often locked him out or refused service to him and those that would charged him double sometimes even triple for low quality.

Time: 7:45 pm, outside ichiraku Ramen

Naruto had just finished off his 5th bowl of ramen and after paying Teuchi and thanking him Naruto started walking toward his apartment. Teuchi was the owner of a small ramen stand in the village and was one of the few people that actually cared for Naruto and didn't over charge him either. Naruto was now walking through the side streets and alleys to avoid the people at the festival. he turned down a street to find several men standing around, almost as if they were waiting for him.

"Well, well, well. What do we have here?" The first man slurred. Clearly drunk.

"Isn't that the demon brat?" The second said sounding equally as drunk.

"So it is. Lets have some fun with him." The first man said.

Naruto turned and ran. He kept running amd glancing over his shoulder to see more people joining the chase. He stumbled and tripped in the park which is where the mob caught him. They kicked him and hit him. Some grabbed nearby branchs to hit him with. Naruto just curled up into a ball and cried silent tears. If they heard him cry it would only encourage them. 'Why do they do this to me? I didn't do something I don't think. Why does nobody care about me?' Naruto let out a short gasp and a sob escaped his lips as a foot was thrown into his stomach. He soon passed out.

Time: 7: 53 pm, Park
From a nearby rooftop an ANBU waited quietly for the mob to disperse before he grabbed the boy. it pained her to watch the boy as he was beaten by civilian and ninja alike. As the crowd started to leave she saw something she didn't expect. Naruto had stood back up. 'Get back on the ground kid!' She thought, watching the scene play out.

Naruto stood there, arms hanging limp except for something in his hand. A kunai.

'Where did he get that?' She thought again.

Naruto picked up a nearby rock and threw it at the man that started the whole ordeal.

He was one of the shinobi in the mob. The man was struck in the back of the head and quickly turned. "You demon! I'll kill you and end this villages suffering!" He screeched.

Naruto still stood quietly, arms hanging limp in front of him, head tilted down to hide his eyes under a shadow and a kunai in his hand. The Shinobis eyes flicked to the kunai then back to Naruto. He ran forwards and threw a large swing down on the boy. When it make contact with his head there was a loud crunching noise and the man recoiled in pain.

Naruto continued to stand exactly as he was.

The man was now furious. "How dare you assault a shinobi!" The man screamed. He drew a kunai and lunged at Naruto only to have his hand stopped by an ANBU grasping it.

"That's enough." She said, her voice like ice. She picked up Naruto under one arm. letting a low growl out at the man and throwing him back. Then she disappeared.

Time: Unknown, ?
Naruto slowly felt himself coming around again. He felt wet and this didn't feel like the grass he had been on in the park. He slowly opened his eyes and sat up. After his eyes adjusted he noticed he was in a tunnel. 'Where am I?' He slowly stood up and realised he was wet because of the water flooding the ground. "Hello?" He called and listened to the echo but there was no response. 'I better find a way out.'

Naruto stumbled forward down the tunnel noticing the strange pipes on the wall. One was blue and about the width of his arm, Above that was a much bigger pipe what could probably fit his whole body and running between the two were the smallest of the pipes, these were a strange purple colour. as he stumbled through the tunnel for what felt like hours he stopped. "Hello!?" He called out as loud as he could. Again the echo sounded for a few moments then went silent. Naruto sat down with his head in his knees and began to cry. "I guess I really am alone."

After a while Naruto stood up and wiped his tears away. 'I don't have time to cry. I need to get out and go home.' He stood up and continued walking again after some time he started hearing noises from behind him. They sounded like voices but he couldn't tell who it was or what they were saying. 'Oh no. What if it's the villagers again!' He thought. Naruto ran away from the noises even though they only got louder and louder. He ran into a large room with the most noticeable feature being the enormous barred gate. "Maybe I can hide in there." Naruto ran up to the gate and slipped easily through the bars and sat down. He was so scared they would hurt him again that he started crying again. "They're going to hurt me again. I know they will." He sobbed soundly for several minutes.

A sound came from inside the cage and Naruto shot straight up, wiping away the tears. "Hello? Is there somone there? Who are you?" Naruto said semi-hopefully.

A loud grumble came from further down and somthing big spoke. "Dont worry about who I am. Just know i will be watching from now on." was the ground shaking response.

It sounded like a monster yet some how it soothed Naruto. He sat down and fell asleep

Time: 8:14 pm, Hokage office

Hiruzen sarutobi sat behind his large wooden desk filling out paperwork when there was a sudden chill and a swirl of leaves. One of the ANBU was standing in his office holding a small orange bundle under one arm.
"Hokage-sama. Naruto Has been attacked. Again."

Sarutobi almost jumped the table after seeing Naruto bruised and broken with sharp objects protruding from him. He compossed himself and looked at the ANBU again. "Please take him to the hospital. I will join you shortly."

The ANBU nodded and looked down at the boy. as she did a tear dripped from the mask the anbu wore. "As you wish Hokage-sama." She said with no sign of her emotions. She was then gone is a swirl of leaves.

Sarutobi wasn't sure what to make of what he just saw. Did an ANBU just cry? He shook it off and decided to look into it later. He pushed the button on his desk and heard the familiar voice of his secretary.

"How may I help you Hokage-sama?" She said cheerily

Sarutobi took on a stern voice. "I will be going to the hospital. It happened again. Tell anyone looking for me i'm busy. Nothing more." He said with a little sadness in his voice.

"As you wish hokage-sama." She whispered with a little venom in her voice. She clearly didn't like naruto.

Time: 8:20, Konoha hospital

The ANBU carrying naruto burst through the door straight down the hall and layed naruto on a bed. She then ran out of the room looking for a certain doctor.

A nurse came running down the hall just in time to see an ANBU run out of the room like the Kyuubi itself was chasing her. she poked her head in the room to see the sleeping form of the 'Demon brat'. She closed the door and walked in, grabbing a nearby scalpel.

Somewhere else in the hospital the ANBU was now running back to Narutos room with a doctor in tow. 'I hope we can help him.' She thought as she rounded the corner. She ran up to the door to his room. 'I left the door open.'
She slid it open to see the nurse over Naruto with the scalpel. "No!" Was all she got out before the blade was thrust down.

The nurses hand was stopped inches from Narutos chest. She looked on in horror at what she saw. Naruto was glowing with a wierd chakra. It was red/orange and bubbled around him. But what scared her was his eyes were open. They were pure red on black with a slitted pupil. They had no sense of humanity in them. He was holding her wrist and it hurt. Alot. She could feel it slowly breaking.

The ANBU looked on in shock at what had happened to him. She had looked over him for the past four years but this had never happened. The she heard the loud crack and the nurse had screamed out and been thrown across the room. Narutos eyes never leaving the nurse. Never blinking as though he was trying to light her on fire with that stare.

He was sitting in the bed until he blink and his deep blue cerulean eyes were there in place of those eyes of a monster. he fell back on the bed unconscious.

The ANBU rushed over to Naruto and checked him over. He was asleep. She ripped off her mask to let the torrent of tears wash over her.

"A-anko M-m-mitarashi?" Was all the doctor stuttered out before she shot dagger at him with her eyes. He immediately went silent and went to heal Naruto.

Sarutobi walked into the Hospital and smiled at the receptionist. "An ANBU would have just come running in here. Which direction?" He asked while trying not to sprint down the hall she pointed to. "Thank you." As he walked he was greeted by almost every person with "Hokage-sama." And a polite bow though his mind was in a different place. he opened the door and closed it behind him.

Anko looked up at the hokage and glared at him. "Hokage-sama." She almost spat. "We need to talk."

That's my set up. Nothing substantial yet. Hope it wasn't terribad. Any criticisms or suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.
