Chapter 1: Tragedy strikes

"Good Lord!" a hefty sigh can be heard.

"I can't believe he's out running about already at this hour; especially when he was just warned about causing trouble less than an hour ago!" mumbles the Sadamine tiredly. "Wanting to be acknowledge might be one thing, but disturbing the peace of others is another"

What am I going to do with him? Thought Sadamine and inwardly sighs. He's growing up fast. He's only eight and already this energetic. Somehow he felt a bit proud at this fact. But, he has to learn discipline and control. What must I do? A headache is starting to develop for this old man. Hokage or not, rest for the mind is essential too.

"Sadamine, perhaps with given permission we are allow to let him know that there are certain boundaries where one must not cross over too often - even if he is seeking for attention and acknowledgment"

The Sadamine looked into his crystal ball once more and walked towards the windows. Without his back turned to face the person in speaking, he made up his decision.

"Very well…"

---

Little would the Sadamine know how his very words could change the outcome of the future for one genin nin. Most likely regretting what he had said until the day of his death - forever worrying about the sunshine and trouble maker of Konaha.

---

"Alright, at last we have obtain \permission from the Sadamine to do what we have always wanted to do!"

The group of men could be heard silently cheering and preparing to execute their 'evil' plan…

---

"5 bowls of ramen please" grins smiling blond.

"Coming right up," smiled Ichikaru at his favourite number one customer. So what if the villagers doesn't like the little guy? The blond had never done any wrong to him. In fact he's one of the reasons why his Ramen stand lasted this long. Even when it's during rainy days, as long as the ball of sunshine comes to visit, his Ramen stand is always full of warmth and laughter.

As Ichikaru was smiling happily in thought, the blond was distracted by what was happening out side the stand.

Hearing weird noises coming from outside, the blond decided to take a peek outside. What harm could it bring him to take a winsy peek?

A lot.

---

"Here's your 5 bowls of ramen! And I'll make more beforehand knowing the eating habits of yours." grins Ichikaru as he turns around, expecting to hear another heart warming thank you and the blurred out blond hungrily devouring his beloved ramen.

Yet, none of this happened.

"Naruto?" whispered Ichikaru worriedly. The blond would never leave without eating his ramen. Where did he go?

---

"What are you guys doing? Dammit, let me go back. I don't even know you! Let go of me. Noooo my ramen, I could hear it calling me!" Naruto continues to fight with all his might, despite having both his arms held up. He continues to struggle as he thought of his ramen lying there on the table, crying for him.

"Shut up, you demon." said a man with his face covered, as he slapped Naruto across the face. In fact, the crowd of men surrounding Naruto were all covered in a mask.

"Today is the day where we finally obtain permission to finish you off!" smirked another.

'Finally obtain permission? What do they mean? The old man couldn't have -' thought Naruto before he felt a kick delivered to his stomach. "Let go of me, wait till I tell the old man!"

"The Sadamine gave us permission to do this. There is no point in telling him anything." The men began to close in on him.

"What do you mean? He would never - Stay away from me! Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo" screams of horror can be heard coming from the blond…and soon all turned black for him, when a large rock smashed him across the head, making him unconscious.

----

"How long do we have to walk? This mission sucks. Wait till I go back to the headquarters I'm going to give Orchimaru a piece of my mind! Faking sick and all!"

"If you'll just shut up for a moment, we'll finish it faster"

"What do you mean finish faster? It's not like -" The blue face man shuts up, having to sense a deadly looking glare shooting straight at him. Hah! He dodged it. Better to keep quiet though, next time he might not be that lucky.

"Once more, and I'll be enjoying a nice bowl of shark-fin soup."

The blue face man gulped. Final warning - at least for today. Of course, showing weakness is a big no no, so a proper reply is needed to show he's not afraid, at least not on the outside.

"Heh, whatever. We're wasting time idling anyways."

"Nice come back." smirked the red-eye man. "Hmm…what do we have here?"

"Itachi, I thought we just agreed to move along before -"

Itachi, the red-eyed man continues to ignore him and bent down to take a closer look at his discovery.

"Hmm…Kisame. Let's take him back with us, he might be useful to us."

"Are you insane? Oh wait, cross that, I already know the answer to that one. Anyways, what about our current mission? I mean, what's so good about a bloody body lying in the middle of a forest?!" Kisame is practically waving his arms madly in the air. Like he should be the one to talk about sanity.

"This is better than our current mission. Look." Itachi just nodded his head towards the bloodied and bruised up boy.

Kisame looked closely and a smile started to curved up his face.

"Oh…."

He gave Itachi a knowing look and nodded.

"Naruto?!"
