Disclaimer: I do NOT own Naruto.


As our story begins in the peaceful village of Konoha, a young blond boy is seen running away in fear from a crowd of spiteful villagers. As the boy ran from the villagers, he could hear shouts and yells of "Come here you demon and accept your punishment for your crimes!" "You don't deserve to live!" "For Yondaime- sama!" The boy quickly turned to an alleyway, unfortunately reaching a dead end. The boy looked fearful as the sounds of the mob grew nearer.

'Shit! They're getting near... where to hide?' He looked around finding a spot to hide on. 'I found one! Quickly now!' The boy then hid from the upcoming horror of the villagers. The villagers looked around as they arrived to the dead end. "Where is he?" a shout of frustration is heard from one of the villagers. "He's not here... Let's find somewhere else!" Came the reply of another villager after a while of searching. The others agreed and left. Sure that the villagers were gone, the boy came down from the shadows covering the brick wall. The boy sighed in relief. 'Good thing that metal bar is sticking out at that corner of the wall or I would be a goner!Heh, no one gets the one and only Naruto Uzumaki!' He thought. The boy that is Naruto walked the opposite direction from the villagers and was wandering around. 'Where to go, where to go? Hmmm... maybe Ichiraku! Yea, I could use some ramen...' He thought happily. He was about to walk to his destination in mind when suddenly he heard a scream coming from another alleyway. 'Ah, great... just when I'm about to go to paradise!' Naruto thought angrily as he sprinted into the alleyway. Once he had arrived there, he saw a disgusting sight. He saw a man was about to rape a woman just about his age, and he was only 8! Naruto narrowed his eyes as he approached him. Both figures looked at Naruto. 'I-Ino- chan?' Naruto was shocked as the figure reveal one of his childhood friend.

"You know, you should get a girlfriend about your age, instead of getting laid to a sexy but young woman. You pedophile!" He said pointing at the rapists. Said man glared straight back at the boy, letting go at the victim. Ino crawl into a corner, cowering in fear. "Graaahhh!" The rapists then charged towards Naruto, eyes filled with rage certainly because of the insult Naruto gave. Naruto ducked the incoming punch, grabbed on to it, and tossed the man down to the ground. Not giving the man a chance to retaliate, he quickly punch the man in the face while in the arm lock. Naruto sighed as he looked at the fallen man. He then turned to Ino, topless, and shivering in fear. Naruto looked for her clothes, but unfortunately found her clothes torned because of force the rapists did in ripping her clothes off. Naruto then removed his jacket and gave it to Ino. "Here, use this to cover up your beautiful body, would'nt you like to run in the middle of the village naked, eh, I- no- chan!" He poked his finger to Ino's forehead. Ino blushed at this, her eyes wandered to the clothing the man gave, then looked up to her saviour but could not see his face because of the pitch- black alleyway. Ino took the jacket from Naruto.

Naruto turned back, "Don't worry, that guy won't be making anymore trouble to you" He began to walk away but stopped when he here Ino's voice. "W- wait!" She shouted. "Thank you... but how'd you know my name?" She asked. Naruto grinned and waved, not looking back while resuming on going out the alleyway and turning right. At the same time Naruto left, a squad of ANBU ops appeared. "Are you hurt ms. Yamanaka?" Tori asked. Ino shooked her head and stared at the blank space where Naruto left. 'Thank you... I'll keep this jacket until you come back for it.'

Naruto walked towards his favourite ramen stand. He sighed "Man, good thing that teme is a civilian and sloppy at attacking, or I would've become ramen noodles! Not that I like Ramen..." As he approached his beloved stand, he stopped in his tracks when he saw a mob of villagers approaching. 'Great! Just when I'm this close to getting my beloved ramen! Aww man... Well off to round two!' He thought as he turned around and started running as the villagers shouted. "There's the demon, get him!" Naruto ran all the way to forest right outside the village. 'Damn... now the guards are chasing me... well they can't catch the great Uzumaki Naruto easily!' He thought as he rushed toward a base of a cliff. Naruto eyes widened when he saw what's ahead of him. 'Gotta stop, gotta stop!' He mentally screamed as he planted his heels firmly on the ground, signalling to a stop. He then panted a bit and wiped the sweat of his forehead. 'Whew, I thought I was a gonner!' He sighed in relief but began to tense when he heard the sounds of steps approaching. Panicking, he trip on a tree root and fell through the cliff. The mobs approaching stopped at the location where Naruto was. "Where's the demon brat?" one asked. They looked around the site but to no avail, they could'nt find him. The two guards seemed troubled. "I thought I sensed that boy's chakra here..." His partner nodded " I sensed it here too..." Genma looked down in sorrow "The Hokage won't like this one bit..." He faced the villagers. "I hope your happy, cause you just chase out one bright ninja into the world." He said in anger. The villagers seemed to just scoffed at this, making Genma angrier. "Ok, you scums, your under arrest for discrimination towards a fellow civilian." The villagers looked shocked "You can't do this!" Genma smirked evilly. "Take it up to the Hokage! Now move prisoners!" He shouted. The villagers and guards left. Genma looked back at the scene, 'I'm sorry Naruto...'


(?)

Naruto grumbled as he awoke from his slumber. Looking around on what seems to be a dark cave, with lightings of torches hanging on both sides of the cave. Naruto scratch his head. "Escaping from the villagers in a weird fashion is fine and dandy but where the hell am I?" He looked at the path before him. "I guess I just have to follow this path and hop for the best..." Naruto followed the path into the depths of the cave. When he arrive into a weird room covered with carvings of clocks and gears. On the middle was a staircase leading to a scroll, six lamps surrounding the scroll. Naruto moved closer to it and saw a plate at the bottom reading:

Touch the scroll of time and be judged

Those with evil thoughts shall be dead

Only those of pure hearts can be rewarded

Prepare for what task you do ahead

Naruto was disturbed at the readings of the plate. He thought for a minute then shrugged. "Eh, I've got nothing to lose. The villagers will be thrilled if I'm dead anyway..." Naruto grabbed the scroll only to be surrounded by a bright light. 'What the hell...' Were Naruto last thoughts as the light engulfed him.


Sarutobi was not having a nice day. He just received the report of Naruto gone missing, he ordered Ibiki to "take his time with the villagers", so to say, the villagers looked at him in fear. Currently, the Sandaime was smoking his pipe facing at the whole of Konoha in his office. He sighed as he thought about Naruto. 'I'm sorry Minato, I've failed you and your son, Those fools of the council can't distinguish a monster from a mere child... I hope you forgive me... I promise I won't make the same mistake again. ' He thought sadly.

"Be safe, Naruto..."
