chapter one | third pov | flashback

pain, is a word all people know. it is a word that people wish to not hear, or go through. however, sad truth is that every single human being experiences atleast some sort of pain. whether is physical pain or mental pain or maybe even both.

some people may go through more pain than others, some may go through less. some people may have worse pain, some people may have better pain. some people may have good pain, some people may have bad pain.

the fact remains that no matter who you are, or what you do, there will always be a factor of pain in your life time.

this pain may better you, this pain may worsen you, that all lies in the hands of fate.

currently, a four year old dark blonde haired boy runs as fast as his little legs can run, he is running from his own people the people he is growing a strong hatred towards.

but, who can blame the boy? he is seen as a social outcast, and is abused by the people he lives around.

everyday they throw rocks at him, everyday they push and shove him, everyday they glare at him, everyday they hit him, everyday they stab and carve words into his pale flesh, everyday he hardly stands back up, everyday he bleeds and bleeds, everyday they treat him like he is nothing, everyday they give an attempt to beat him to death.

and all over something he had absolutely no control against, nor say in. neither did he know until around a year ago, when his brain finally started kicking in.

you see, the child was not infact stupid, he was actually very smart, he would give a nara a run for their money. but of course, no one knew that.

the boy knew that he had the kyuubi no kitsune sealed inside of him, he also knew of his father, minato namikaze, and his mother, kushina uzumaki, who died sealing the fox inside of him.

he had gotten the extra information from the fox itself when he met him a year ago on his 3rd birthday after a particularly horrible beating.

flashback |

they had done it again, they punched him, kicked him, stabbed him, they did everything they did last time, but this time it was even worse, they even went as far as raped, the newly three year old (a/n this hurts writing this ouch)

he didn't know why, he didn't know why he deserved all of this, he wondered what he had ever done to the villagers, he doesn't particularly remember doing anything terrible, so he was just confused.

after a villager threw a bottle of sake at him his mind went black, he then opened his eyes to see what seemed to be a sewer.

'they dropped me in a sewer this time? creative' the whiskered boy deadpanned, standing up and walking to where his heart had told him to go.

he had then come across a cage, a big one in fact. this was where it all hit him, he had heard somewhere about the fox with nine tails and that beings of chakara can not die, he was the jinjuriki of the nine tailed fox that attacked the village.

'ah, so that's why they hate me' he scratches his head sheepishly.

"yes is is human" a voice boomed loudly, revealing red eyes with slits in them from within the cage "i am the kyuubi no kitsune" he speaks with a loud, terrifying voice, which much to the foxes suprise doesn't faze the young child.

the blonde haired boy analyzed closed to see that the fox has orange fur, and nine huge fluffy tails, which in all honestly the boy found adorable.

he then turns to look back at the creatures eyes, look deeper into them. his eyes drop back to the sides of his torso after seeing the same emotions he feels constantly, pain, hurt, loneliness, tiredness.

so, instead of running away and screaming, which is what the fox thought he would do, he sat down and began speaking again "why did you actually attack the village"

the orange furball was shocked to say the least, the only thought going through this head was why, "why aren't you scared of me?" the creature inquires, now quieter, he had wished for this boy to be different.

"your eyes" was the simple reply he had gotten

"well what do you mean by that" the red eyed being scoffs

"i see through them" he states, making the others eyes go wide "i see the emotions through them"

the tailed beast was gobsmacked now, but he wanted to ask one more question, to see if this boy was truly different "do you hate me?"

the boys expressions soften before looking the kyuubi into the eye, the eyes he was staring into, in return stared back, widening at the sight of seeings all the pent up emotions in the dull violet blue eyes, he wouldn't ever admit it but he felt bad, it was his fault that the three year old child went through something no one, especially not a child his age should had gone through.

he begins speaking, with an angelic voice "no, i don't hate you" he scratches his nose before continuing "it's unreasonable to hate someone before looking underneath the underneath, it's pathetic really, people often get sucked in by hatred before they can actually see beyond the line of hate, i believe that you have a reason of doing what you did, and a good one at that, so i wish to know why you actually did it, you definitely didn't do it without reason, people hate what they can not understand, so i want to understand you, not hate you" he finishes.

the nine tails was simply shocked that a three year old was more wise than everyone in the village, therefore his eyes soften at the boy, believing that he is indeed different before speaking "i was controlled by the sharingan, you may have heard of it, before i had been sealed inside your mother kushina uzumaki" the boys eyes widen in interest, he was happy he finally knew the name of his mother "i had been extracted out and forced to attack the village, i didn't want to, though i did not like being sealed it wasn't all terrible, and so that's why it all happened, i had been forced to kill your mother and your father, minato namikaze" the blonde smiled for the first time since he could walk, he was glad his father was the fourth hokage and seen as a hero, he was proud to be his son "traded his soul to seal me inside of you, so that's that kit"

"do you believe the person had good morals" asked the boy

"i will not believe it until i hear it" the fox reasonably says.

"understandable" the little boy looks up towards the fox and smiles a little "let's be friends, what's your name"

the creature was dumbfounded 'he really is different' he thought before replying happily, glad the boy doesn't hate him "kurama how about you kit"

"naruto uzumaki" he smile profoundly

flashback end

and so after that the two had quickly became eachothers only friends, naruto could now admit he could never hate the fox.

back to the present.
