Naruto and Hinata both leave Konoha at age seven under the tutelage of the kyuubi together they become strong. As for my plans for when they are older, you will have to wait and see, although im quite sadistic (not as bad as Anko though) I cant guarantee a happy ending, especially considering I must be one of the few people who find the ending of fight club romantic.
Depending on what people think and whether they would like me to continue I want to try for over 60,000 words, not sure how long it will take me but im going to try. Naruto and Hinata are also going to both be a bit oc-ish at the beginning but I intend to incorporate aspects of their personalities from later on in the series as the story progresses. I have not read the manga yet, so this is mainly based on the anime. Oh im a Naruto/Hinata fan so there's absolutely no chance of them not been together as for other couples im open to suggestions.
Updated: Fixed a few grammatical errors, and timeline mistakes, apologies for any future mistakes, kyuubi-chan.

"My sister was killed, I will never forgive that demon" the older villager said. "For me it killed my brother, he was going to take the jounin exam, he was the only ninja in our family unless I become one its unlikely there will be another for a long time" the younger one said scowling. The two villagers continued talking about their hate for the demon that took their precious people away from them.
Seven years ago, a nine-tailed fox demon attacked Konoha. Its rampage killed thousands of people. According to the history books, the yondaime sacrificed his life to kill it. However, the older villagers all knew a different story. Forbidden from telling the younger generation the truth or taking any form of direct action under penalty of imprisonment or even death, they would simply hate from a distance and pull as many strings as possible to make his life as difficult as possible. They passed there silent warnings and conditioned there children to hate and ignore the boy that the demon was sealed within, they would protect their children from the danger the only way they knew, by teaching them to hate him before they would be old enough to ask why or what it is that he had done wrong.
In the villagers minds they all knew seven years ago for no apparent reason other than the fact that the purpose of demons is to cause as much human suffering as possible. It attacked their home killing and destroying everything in its path, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. Within three days the path of destruction led to the gates of Konoha, if it went any further, even more would die and their village would be destroyed. Their strongest leader, the yondaime stepped forward to stop it and saved them all at the cost of his own life. He sealed the demon into a baby, its soul stuck in the form of a human baby, no memories of its past and vulnerable to even the weakest of the villagers. Although the vengeance of the weakest villager was never to come, despite the protests the villagers had made. The sandaime could not determine whether the soul was that of kyuubi or of the sacrificed child, to the villagers it was obvious, a newborn child could not be stronger than a demon. Ignoring the villagers protests the sandaime placed the child under protective custody and created laws to ensure the Childs survival, denying the villagers the revenge that was so rightfully theirs until a time when the child could undoubtedly be proved to be a danger to the village. Leaving the villagers the only option of revenge to make the boys life as difficult as possible, driving the demon insane so that one day it will either leave or take it's own life.
The two villagers continued their path heading towards the demons apartment, they could not make a move openly against it but at least they could vent some of their frustrations upon it. Picking up a rock and wrapping it in a hastily written note, they threw it through the window.
Slowly moving away, "The demon should be killed, shame this is all we can get away with. Damn that hokkage" the older of the two villagers muttered as they slowly made their way away from the demons apartment, no fear of been caught. The idea that the boy was not the kyuubi in disguise, that the child was an innocent boy who did not understand why everyone hated him and that the sandaime was right in protecting the child never occurred to them.

Waking to the sound of a window braking, the seven year old Naruto fell out of bed tangled within his own bed covers, a look of fear upon his face, in his seven year old mind he thought his nightmares were catching up to him becoming real. Imagining that someone would jump out of the shadows to kill him, someone had actually tried it when he was younger but he was luckily saved by an anbu. Been stuck in your own bed covers didn't help that much either. Shaking away his fear and placing a calm look upon his face, a look that shouldn't exist on that of a seven year old who had just been scared out of his wits.
He got out of bed to find his living room window smashed, glass all over the floor, a rock and a note lying a little further off. With no light to see by other than the light shining through the now broken window, the electricity company had cut him off several weeks ago, along with the gas company meaning he had no light or heat in his small apartment. He slowly started to pick up the pieces of glass placing them in a bin, picking up the rock and note, throwing the rock into a pile of rocks that lay in the corner of the room, crumpling up the note and placing it in the bin with the glass.
After tidying up the mess somewhat, he walked to the door of his apartment slipping out into the night. "Why me, why do they do that I've never done anything to them yet they treat me so mean, no one cares about me. All the other kids have people that care about them, yet not even those my own age play with me". Naruto continued walking aimlessly, further into the night contemplating his existence, considering he was only seven and should be thinking more along the lines of what he will be eating tomorrow or what pranks he can play upon those who broke his window.
Unbeknownst to the boy two red slitted eyes watched and listened to his thoughts as he walked through the streets. The demon kyuubi was in deep contemplation as well, he never expected himself to come to respect a human. Even if it was the brat, he was contained within, never placed into such a situation himself he found a new mix of emotions that he could not identify (NONE YAOI EMOTIONS!).

Within the Hyuuga courtyard, cherry blossoms slowly fell from the trees. A seven-year-old Hinata stood in her gentle fist stance, a nervous look upon her face from the impossible odds she was about to face, she suddenly darted forward. Hiashi was prepared as soon as she came within half a metre, her right palm facing upwards ready to strike, her arms too short to possibly hit her farther at the distance she was at, no matter what she did. Hiashi beat her away as if she was nothing, he didn't even give her a chance to get within range. He didn't complement her on her perfect use of the gentle fist. Hinata skidded back, she remains standing but blood can be seen dripping down her forearm where Hiashis strike connected, it would definitely leave a scar adding to the many others all over her body, even at a young age, she would always hide the scars using baggy clothing. "Is that all you can do Hinata?" Hiashi taunted, Hinata charged again.
Within seconds she skidded along the floor, collapsing in a heap, drops of blood fell to the floor as she struggled to stand up. Hiashi just glared at her, Hinata attempted to glare back a mixture of anger, fear and several hundred emotions all rolled into one, but couldn't bring herself to look into his eyes, she knew what would happen if she did. "I can't give up, I need to prove myself. If I don't prove myself he nor anyone within the clan will respect or even grow to care about me" Hinata thought. Using sheer will power to move her arms and legs, she slowly stood up preparing her self in the gentle fist stance once more. Hiashis glare deepened even more, if that was possible. Faster than the eye could see, a slap echoed throughout the courtyard. Hinata collapsed fighting the urge to cry, her father standing above her arm hand stretched out, already a hand print can be seen forming on the side of her face slowly turning a very painful looking red. "I hope your new sister Hanabi doesn't turn out like you even though she's only two, she looks like she will show a lot more potential than you" Hiashi spat, he turned and slowly walked away. Looking up she saw her cousin Neji in the corner of the court yard, smiling at her father as Neji turned his head to face her, a look of hatred replaced the smile. Hinata didn't say a word in response to her father especially after noticing that even her cousin agreed with his words, looking at the ground to hide her tears, if you looked closely you could tell she was crying but no one noticed. Hiding her tears she slowly got up on her feet and ran towards the gates of the Hyuuga compound, the guards didn't even acknowledge her they just let her pass completely ignoring her. Neji started walking away "I cant believe how weak she is, she's a disgrace, I should have been the heir, im so much more deserving that her".
She kept running, avoiding anyone she saw, eventually heading into the forest. Thinking only of getting away from the place she called home she ran deeper into the forest until she came to an open area a flat piece of rock within the middle. She collapsed curling up into a little ball and began to cry.

Making his way to his usual spot, Naruto heard a girl crying from the direction he was heading. Making his way carefully forward in case it was another trap set by the villagers.
The villagers had once left a steaming bowl of ramen in the middle of the forest, been a naïve 5year old at the time he ran towards it in hope of food, but just as he touched it his foot was snared and he was pulled up into the tree, hanging like a rabbit. First, the villager ate the ramen in front of him, to a starved boy of five who hadn't eaten in days this was torture enough, but after that, they started beating him with sticks until he passed out. He awoke the next day in pain, still strung up. It had taken him half a day to figure out how to escape the trap and leave the area before the villagers came back to torture him some more. Ever since then, he was careful about anything, for a good reason too. Many of the chuunin set traps for him on a regular basis.
Peering through the bushes, Naruto spotted something curled up in a ball near his rock; examining it further, he noticed it was a purple haired girl. Pushing his doubts aside, he stepped out the girl hadn't noticed him yet. Unsure what to do, not liking the idea of another been in pain, "Are you okay, what's wrong?" he asked, the girl jumped, raising her head slightly to look at him, the tears on her face obvious. He could of hit himself right there, she obviously was not okay.
The girl looked up towards the boy, recognising him as the boy from the playground, he was on his own.
Flashback
He looked lonely and everyone was avoiding him just like how they would avoid her. She slowly made her way over towards him before been grabbed by her father Hiashi. "You are forbidden to go near or talk to that boy, now come you need to train" Hiashi shouted at her before dragging her back home for a another round of the so called training where she would be knocked down to the ground, bit by bit destroying all of her confidence.
End Flashback
Father forbade me, maybe he's like me. Resisting the urge to run again, she decided to trust him. The girl looked down tears falling to the ground, "Everyone hates me, im weak I cant do anything right, no one cares about me" then in a slightly lower almost inaudible voice "Maybe it would be better if I was dead". Her instinct to run weren't kicking in. The boy had asked if she was okay, no one had ever asked her that before he acted as if he cared about her.
Unsure what to do, the young Naruto slowly approached the girl not liking the idea of her been in pain, he sat next to her completely unsure of what to do or say. After a few seconds of silence, "I know what its like, everyone hates me too, so your not alone" Naruto said quietly trying to sound as non-threatening as possible.
Hinata looked upward toward the boy, she could see the truth in his eyes. Doing something she never expected to do or had done to anyone before but had always watched other children do to their friends or parents, she embraced the boy in a hug and started to cry even more. "He's like me" she thought.
Suddenly Naruto found himself on the receiving end of a hug, he had seen other children hug each other and their parents, their parents would pick them up and hug them too, he never thought anyone would ever hug him, everyone hated him both adult and child alike. Recovering from the initial shock, he noticed she was crying. Returning the hug and slightly rocking trying to comfort her, he was becoming worried about her.
They stayed like this for what seemed like hours, eventually Hinata stopped crying, breaking the hug she looked up towards Naruto saying "Thank you".
Puzzled Naruto looked at her, "Why are you saying thank you?"
"No ones ever hugged me before" she stuttered looking down, she still had very little confidence.
Smiling, "Im Uzumaki Naruto, no ones ever hugged me before either, so we're even"
A smile appearing on her face, "Im Hyuuga Hinata" she managed to say without stuttering, smiling for the first time she could remember.
Slowly the two began to talk, talking about their lives, there hates and dislikes. Naruto liked ramen and sitting out here in the forest away from the village, he couldn't think of anything else that he liked. Hinata said something very similar along the same lines, her favourite food was dango but she had yet to find a place outside the Hyuuga compound to relax in. The only difference was her love for her mother who had unfortunately died a few years ago while giving birth to her younger sister Hanabi. Naruto asked many questions about what having a family was like, especially about having a mother. Hinata felt a pang of both jealousy and sympathy she told Naruto as much as she could about her mother and afterwards told him about the rest of her family. Her mother was the only good thing about been part of a family, the rest of it didn't exactly make you feel like wanting to be part of a family anytime soon. Throughout all their talking, they were leaning against each other post hug like positions. As the sun started to set, Hinata knew she should head back to the Hyuuga compound before search party's were sent out to protect the Hyuuga byaken from been stolen. Waving goodbye and promising to meet here again tomorrow, she left heading back to the Hyuuga compound.
She couldn't describe her emotions, on one hand she hated the idea of leaving Naruto she didn't want to go back home, Naruto was like her no one liked him except her and no one liked her except maybe Naruto. She was happy because she had found a friend, unhappy because she had to leave him and head home to her own personal hell. She could not wait to sneak off tomorrow and meet up with Naruto.
Naruto lied down starring up at the stars, "Will she come tomorrow, have I found my first true friend" he became scared for a moment what if all this was a dream or a prank, or if she changed her mind about been friends with him. Thinking of the girl, he pushed his thoughts of doubt aside, reminding himself about the emotions he saw in her eyes, he had never seen those before and somehow he trusted her. Heading back to his apartment, he wore a real smile instead of the usual fake one, today had been one of the best days of his life, he may have found a friend and even if she didn't show up tomorrow it was nice to think that she was his friend. If he had know about genjutsu, his world would have been shattered realising that it could just be another prank.
