I'm Day Dreamzz. This is a story I have wanted to do for quite a while. I think this concept could be done really well and I want to see what I can do with it. If you have any ideas or critique feel free to let me know. That's all from me.
I do not own Naruto.
What They Made
"No Mizuki!" Iruka yelled in desperation. Naruto was standing there confused as both his sensei stood around him. Iruka had just taken the kunai out of his leg Mizuki had thrown, but Mizuki made no further advances trying to confuse Naruto instead.
"They've been lying to you your whole life Naruto. Ever since the decree twelve years ago." Mizuki said maliciously.
"What decree?" was all Naruto could manage to get out.
"Everyone knows except you, Iruka's trying to hide it from you even now. He'd do anything to shut me up." Mizuki said and his smile only widened. Naruto opened his mouth to speak, "What is this decree and why does everyone else know about it?" He asked still without a total grasp on the situation. What his sensei had been saying must have been important if everyone knew about it but him.
"Don't tell him its forbidden!" Iruka yelled in vain. Things had only been going from bad to worst tonight. First Naruto steals the scroll and then Mizuki seemed to have masterminded the whole crime. Not to mention the secret he was about to reveal.
Foolish nine tails. It's almost hard to believe things are going so well. I get to take out both the demon and Iruka. Mizuki thought gleefully. He took pleasure in how encapsulated Naruto was.
"No one can tell you the nine tailed fox is inside you." Mizuki said eliciting a gasp from Naruto. Mizuki continued, "The fox spirit that killed Iruka's parents and destroyed our village has taken over your body. You are the nine tailed fox" He concluded leaving a stunned Naruto standing in the clearing. As he stood there he started putting it together. It makes sense! Idiot how could I not realise. All the times he I had been called a demon. All the times I've been kicked out of stores and called a no good fox. All the times kids were told not to play with me without any discretion at all. But I'm not a fox am I? Naruto thought still bewildered by the revelation.
They hate me. They all hate me because of something that's been shoved in me? It wasn't me who killed anyone. It wasn't me who destroyed the village. So then why? Why have they attacked and shunned and done everything in their power to make me miserable? What did I, Uzumaki Naruto, do to deserve this hate? Naruto couldn't find an answer to answer that question, "Do you know what you have done!" Iruka shouted snapping him out of his reverie. Mizuki's voice was heard again and Naruto couldn't help but listen, "They've all been sneaking around hiding things from you your whole life. Didn't you think it was strange how they treated you? Like dirt, like they hated you for just being alive." Naruto reached his breaking point as Mizuki's cruel laughter filled the air.
"NO NO NO NO!" Naruto yelled having had already come to the same conclusion, but he didn't want to face it. He just wanted to wake up as if this was a bad dream or just ignore it until he knew what to do. Mizuki wasn't letting him ignore it though and kept shoving it back in his face with each word. He could hear the mocking tone and the pleasure in his voice was barely hidden, "Thats right you will never be accepted in this village. Even your beloved sensei hates your guts." Naruto quivered before he turned to Iruka in hope only to find him groaning with his back to him.
"See demon, nobody loves you. Don't worry though I'll put you out of your misery." It was tragic how Naruto got the wrong impression because had he waited a moment later Iruka would have shown his true feelings, but it was too late and Naruto snapped. Bubbling and vile chakra started emerging from Naruto's body as he faced Mizuki, "Shut UP!" He growled before leaping at Mizuki. Not even noticing the giant shuriken he instinctively batted away he grabbed Mizuki in his rage.
The young chunin wasn't even sure what happened before he found himself barrelling into a tree from the branch he was perched on. Had he the time to think he would have regretted pushing Naruto this far, but Naruto's Kyuubi amplified follow up didn't give him any time at all. Beyond all the punches crashing down on him he could make out the tears which were falling from Naruto's face to his own. Then it all went black as Naruto pulled his hand up one final time before slamming it down through his skull.
The blonde barely registered going through the bone and shook his hand of the remains after retrieving it. With the bijuu chakra receding back into the seal the boy started to realise what he had done. He had killed somebody. Quickly moving backwards Naruto found himself at the foot of a tree a couple meters away from the body. Staring at his hands with wide eyes he could see blood, but the blood wasn't his own. It sickened him and being so close to the body didn't help.
Is this what I was destined to become? Maybe Mizuki was right and I am a demon, or part demon. It would explain the actions of all the villagers, but I am in control now. I don't know what happened, but I won't let it happen again. I killed someone. Naruto heard the sound of a gasp before he took off the scroll and turned around, "You came for this didn't you?" Naruto said pushing the scroll into Iruka.
"Go ahead take it, because you have shown that's all you care about." he said in an sad yet angry tone.
Naruto had really hoped this one person would say something. Anything to contradict what Mizuki was saying, but he hadn't done a thing. The blonde could almost swear his heart was literally aching and the pain was starting to get too much. I'm all alone. Iruka could only watch as his own heart wrenched hearing Naruto let out a defeated, yet painful cry, before passing out with tears flowing down from his now closed eyes.
He picked up the boy and immediately made his way to see the Hokage. When he arrived the Hokage had a sad look on his face tinged with disappointment. "Iruka I saw it all from my crystal ball. I cannot blame you for not saying anything to the child, but I am still disappointed that my own efforts to help you relate to the boy fell on deaf ears."The hokage said in an unusually sad tone. Iruka didn't want to leave it at that though, "Hokage sama I wanted to say something but he changed before I could. I would like to personally congratulate him for passing the academy if you will allow it?" Iruka asked hopefully. The Hokage however shook his head dejectedly. "I'm sorry Iruka I believe it might be too late. We will have to hope his new sensei and team can reach out to him. I would hate to see a boy with such potential fall to the path of darkness." The Hokage said looking into Iruka's eyes. The chunin could only give a small nod before he left, but not before putting his own hitai-ate around Naruto's head.
The Hokage looked over the boy to find no injuries and decided to take him back to his place instead of a hospital. After reaching the apartment and putting the boy to bed he set the alarm and left a small note hoping he hadn't lost his will to be a ninja after this. Even on his walk home the thought of Naruto plagued the Hokage, but it was mostly what he had seen in his crystal ball that worried him. The boy had not only killed, but was also in so much pain. His last cry had sent him chills not to mention the look in his eyes was clearly of desperation, a longing for anyone to comfort him. He had found no one and his only cold comfort was in the darkness of unconsciousness. At least he might have a chance to have friends now that he has a team. Thought the old man before arriving home.
The blonde awoke to find something heavy on his head, but as he raised his hand to it he could feel the smooth metal and the engraved leaf symbols under his fingertips. Any other day he would have practically danced with joy at the feel of his new hitai-ate though today he couldn't even manage a small smile. Last night had pretty much sucked the little happiness he had left right out of his life and he was left with inner turmoil.
Getting up he found a note with the information on meeting his new sensei and team. After a cup of ramen he started putting on some of the darker clothes he owned since today he would rather go unnoticed. The blonde set out to the academy getting sneers and disrespectful jeers the whole way. Almost attacking someone who had almost spat on him as he felt the similar sensation from the forest rising, but had refrained knowing he had somewhere to be.
Arriving at the class wasn't too much better except he was happy to be ignored instead and sat next to Sasuke knowing he wouldn't try talk. Naruto sat there looking exceptionally broody even out matching the Uchiha. His peace didn't last long as the pink haired harpy he used to like came up demanding he move so she could sit next to her 'love'. He turned away from the wall only to give her a blank stare. After a few seconds of eye contact he finally gave a short no before returning to the wall.
Sakura's mind was blazing in fury as 'inner Sakura' started spouting off about the insolence he was showing and how he was in the way of their love. He knew what was coming being on the receiving end on most of her hits. The girl always over reacted with him and he noticed he was the only one being targeted by her rage just like everyone else he thought. As she drew back her fist he was glad she was only an average practical student, but this was because it gave him time to send a jab straight to her stomach before she had even thrown the punch.
Everyone in the class was shocked. Naruto was infamous for liking Sakura and even more so for being the 'dead last' in the class. As she dropped to the ground breathless the class was surprised into silence at the turn of events, but for the most part were ignored by Naruto apart from a certain Uchiha. "Thanks." was the almost silent response from the boy. Naruto just nodded before once again returning to his thinking. Sakura had slowly dragged herself back to her seat. The pain had subsided while the shock seemed rooted in her mind. He had punched her this time and she could hardly believe it, but just looking at him she could see a difference to his normal self. She could only think What happened to you to make you this way Naruto?
It was at this point that Iruka came in and explained that Mizuki would not be joining them and was killed last night. Beyond that he hadn't gone into detail, but did notice Naruto visibly flinch at the mention of his death. Naruto is certainly handling it better than I'd expected. He thought, but then when he caught his eyes they seemed to hold nothing but disdain for him. Maybe that hesitation cost me more than I thought?
After calling out most of the names it finally came to team seven, "...is Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke and..." At that the remaining girls held their breath all wanting to be with the young prodigy. The girl chosen though had mixed feelings towards the team now though. "Haruno Sakura, your sensei will be Hatake Kakashi."The same girls sighed in disappointment. After the rest of the names were called the class emptied pretty quickly and team seven was left to wait.
A half hour later a man walked through the door. He had his headband pulled over one eye and a mask that covered almost the rest of his face while he wore the normal jonin outfit. The one thing that really stuck out about him was his gravity defying silver hair. Before anyone could say anything a certain pink haired girl shouted, "You're late!" Before standing and pointing a finger at him. There was a brief pause as all three males in the room seemingly ignored her.
"My first impression of the team is...mixed. Meet me on the roof and we will begin." He said before disappearing. All three got up and made their way towards the door and began their way to the roof. It was only Sakura who was acting a little hesitant on their way up, and no words were exchanged leaving only the sound of their footsteps. This made it unbearable for her as she got too far inside her own head.
