This story is a challenge pertaining from Dracohalo's challenges located in his forum page called Naruto's Hatred, or something along those lines. The only reason I felt like writing this is because I actually really liked the idea. It was... inspiring in a way that I just felt I had to write it. I hope this will become popular as other stories in Fanfiction. But, besides that, I hope you enjoy it.

-Naruto-

Right next to the Hokage monument, a few miles away actually, Naruto is there laying down completely exhausted to the point that his breathing seemed irregular. Though, with the exhaustion, he seems happier than ever. He has a he smile on his face and his hand were clenched into a fist for victory.

"Yeah!" he yelled, excited and anxious at the same time. "I finally mastered the Shadow Clone Technique!" He stopped a few times to take a breath with each word but that just made him even more anxious. It just meant that he had to train more.

After a few minutes, his irregular breathing stopped and his breathing returned to normal. He smirked, "Now I can graduate." He slowly stood up from his position and sat there for a few minutes, his smrik turning into a big—full blown—grin. "I'm close to becoming Hokage now."

He wiped a bit of sweat that he had unconsciously gathered on his forehead and sighed as he looked around. I wonder when Mizuki—sensei will be here? He stood up and dusted himself. He walked a little closer to the cabin and stopped. He really didn't know what to do now. He learned a technique like Mizuki—sensei said, but, then what?

He scratched his head in wonder, "Nothing really to do." He turned his attention to the scroll behind him, 'And I really don't think I can learn a new technique. That Shadow Clone one was really tough by itself. It's hard to imagine how the others are." Naruto is being to feel agitated now, he felt like pulling his hair out.

"Damn." He sat down right in front of the cabin door. He looked around and sighed. He reached out, and grabbed the scroll and raveled it. Since I don't think I can learn a new one now I might as well just look at the others inside. Naruto thought to himself as he opened the scroll.

Lets see. Shadow Clone, I already have that. Mystic sealing—traps the person inside his or her own conscious leaving the victim brain dead and the user is able to control the body—I don't think I like that technique. Next is, Impure Resurrection—brings a dead person soul back from the dead, and into the users command; however, a sacrificial host is necessary for the soul to inhabit when resurrected—is this part of the Mystic sealing? Then it's two in one to learn and to control. And I don't like the idea of sacrificing somebody to bring some back. OK, Next is:

He stopped. Iruka—sensei? Naruto turned his head to his side to see Iruka jumping down from a tree. What is—oh! He's here to pass me! Naruto's grin is back. He roll the scroll and stood up. "Hey there Iruka—sensei! I learn a technique like Mizuki—sensei said, that means I can pass, right?" Naruto chirped out with his eyes close. And for some reason he felt embarrassed. I can finally get one of those head bands.

However, what Naruto didn't expect was a scolding from his teacher, "Naruto! How could you steal the sacred scroll of sealing? Wait, better yet, what gave you the impression that learning a technique from the scroll will allow you to pass? Hm?" Naruto winced at his tone. He really did not expect that.

"Wa-what do you mean? Mizuki—sensei said I can pass, right?" Naruto stuttered out the whole sentence, he really had no idea what was going on. Did Mizuki—sensei lie? Did he trick him? Naruto's heart sack at that? Did he betray me... but why?

"Mizuki told you to steal the scroll?" Naruto nods. "Why would he do that? He knows better than anyone that such act would be considered treason." Naruto's eyes widen. "And could very well lead to execution." Naruto takes a step back, "W-wait Iruka—sensei, I really don't know whats going on but... does that mean I don't pass?"

Iruka shook his head, almost sympathetic. He felt for the kid but what he did was wrong. However, that was the least in his mind for the moment. If Mizuki told Naruto to steal the scroll with the promise that he'll pass then that means that Mizuki is the traitor. Iruka's eyes widen, Mizuki is the traitor. But why would he do that?

Right when he finished his thought he felt Mizuki's chakra. He's coming. Iruka forced a smile as he saw Mizuki come into the clearing, "Mizuki?" Iruka asked, faking a surprise. 'What are you doing here?"

Mizuki ignored Iruka, instead he focused his attention on to the blond who looked at him with betrayal filled eyes. He smirked inwardly, maybe he found out. No, matter, this will only be the tip of the betrayal he get when I reveal to him the truth. "Naruto!" Mizuki called out in a worried tone. He saw his stu-no-demon eyes light up in recognition. He tried not to sneer, "Give me the scroll and then you'll be able to pass!"

Iruka stopped trying to call out to Mizuki and focused his attention to Naruto. His eye's widened when he heard Mizuki's proclamation, "No! Naruto, don't give him the scroll! He's lying! He tric-" Iruka really didn't get the chance to finish when a kunai impeded itself into Iruka's shoulder.

"Ark!" Iruka cried out. He bit his lip, "Naruto, you see!" He pulled out the kunai and brought it in front of him. He looked at Mizuki, "Why are you betraying us Mizuki?" Mizuki laughed, and ignored Iruka, "Naruto, I want the scroll."

Naruto looked confused. Which one was telling the truth? He looked at Iruka only to see him get struck by a kunai that Mizuki thrown at him. Is Mizuki really betraying not only me, but the whole village? He looked back, he really wanted to run but Mizuki words registered in his head.

"Don't try to run, Naruto, even if you do, the whole village will think you stole it. And in the best case scenario, they'll kill you. Seeing as they never really liked you." Naruto turned back around and his eyes widened when he saw Mizuki advancing towards him.

"I know they don't like me, but they're just pranks. I now they won't kill me, right? I'm just a kid." Naruto stuttered out. He fell on his butt when Mizuki stopped walking towards him and stopped right in front of him.

"Oh, no, kid. They don't hate you for that. In fact."Don't tell him anything Mizuki," Iruka yelled from his position with blood coming down his leg and arms. He was losing, too, much blood. But he was more worried on what Mizuki will tell the blond.

Mizuki chuckled darkly, "They hate you for something more appealing. Even Iruka hates you for it."Don't tell him Mizuki!"Do you want to know what it is?"Mizuki! Stop!"

By now, Naruto was trembling with fear, he looked over to see Iruka and saw him looking at Mizuki fearfully as well as himself. He glanced back up to see Mizuki looking at him insanely. He wanted to crawl away but Mizuki's hand grasped his throat and lifted him up from the ground.

He gasped, "Well, Naruto, the truth is." Mizuki punched Naruto in the gut. He choked out blood, "You are a demon Naruto or should I say." He choke slammed him into the ground and started to kick him in the stomach. He did one more stomp and got right into his face, "Kyūbi no Kitsune!"

Naruto's eyes widened even further than before. Is that why people look at me like... that? Naruto felt a deep tightening in his chest, it hurt so bad, Naruto felt like crying. But he stopped as he felt Mizuki start to kick him down. They knew, the old man knew, the teachers knew, and even my classmates know about the Kyūbi... but... me. The heart ache turned cold he felt his lip trembling. And he also felt a deep burning desire deep in his gut. He felt hatred for the village. He felt betrayed and felt unloved. He felt something snap from his conscious when he thought about his negligence when he was in the Orphanage. They knew, too. He clenched his fist from his position and felt anger deep inside fueling his own anger.

"Haaaaaaaa!" He yelled as red chakra covered his body. He turned to see Mizuki up in the tree, clutching his left arm in pain, and sneered at him, "Mizuki—sensei!" He yelled and charged.

Mizuki tried to follow but Naruto's new found power was to fast for him. He felt pain felt from never before enter his face and was blasted from his position to the cabin wall. He hit hard and cried out in pain. What the hell? Mizuki though, wincing at the pain. He soon realized what happened. His blood boiled, That demon! He got up but was soon put down by Naruto's sandal. He felt his arm break under Naruto's pressure.

"S-stop!" Mizuki cried out from the pain. "Naruto!" he opened his eyes slowly to see Naruto sneering at him and looking at him in hate.

"Shut up!" he sneered again. He brought down his sandal at Mizuki's other arm and a crunching noice followed. Mizuki gasped out in pain. "You're just pathetic, aren't you?" Mizuki felt, too, tired to look. He felt weak under the pressure. "But I wonder Mizuki. Who else knows about the Kyūbi?"

Despite his fading conscious Mizuki chuckled darkly, "The question should be who doesn't." Naruto sneered and stomped at Mizuki's arm again, electing a cry out of the man. "This is not a game Mizuki, but I thank you for that answer."

Naruto expected Mizuki to chuckle again but when he didn't he looked at him again. He's unconscious, Naruto thought, anger getting the best of him.

"N-Naru." Naruto heard behind him. He turned to see Iruka looking at him fearfully but little worried as well. Naruto was about to run up to him but stopped. Does Iruka also know about the Kyūbi, Naruto wondered. If he does...

"N-naru... come here." He snapped out of his trance when he heard Iruka calling out him. Despite his anger, Naruto walked up to the bleeding Iruka. "What is it Iruka...-sensei?" Naruto swallowed hard when he said sensei. He felt to betrayed to actually give him any respect.

Iruka smiled, but his eyes didn't show it, "Can you take me to the Hospital before I die?" And with that Iruka passed out from blood loss.

Naruto's eyes twitched. That was it? He felt annoyed, but a little glad that Iruka didn't judge him when he used that weird red chakra; did he see me use it? In the end, Naruto sighed and grabbed the scroll of sealing and strapped it into his back and was about to grab Iruka when four anbus and the Hokage arrived.

Naruto's eyes showed disbelief, "Old—" he stopped himself. The hokage knows about the Kyubi no doubt but he didn't he tell him? That secret that the old man had kept for a long time was the one that hurts the most. The old man's betrayal is the hardest to deal with. Naruto clenched his fist, "—Hokage-sama."

Hiruzen raised an eyebrow at Naruto's choice of name. But, it was understandable. He's sure Naruto feels betrayed not just by the village but by him as well. He sighed, "Naruto-kun." He called out gently. Naruto nodded slowly, unsure on what the old man might do. "Leave Iruka and the traitor Mizuki to the anbu. I want you to bring yourself and the scroll of sealing with you. I want to talk to you." With that, the Hokage disappeared leaving Naruto and the squad of anbu behind. But they disappeared as well, after collecting Mizuki and Iruka, leaving Naruto alone.

He clutched his heart when he thought about being alone. He once thought that he wasn't as alone as he thought he'd be with the Hokage and Ichiraku's backing but with the Kyūbi revelation he felt even more alone than possible. He felt alone and betrayed.

He sniffed and just jumped away, letting his mind wonder into a deep part of his thoughts.

-Naruto-

A few minutes later, inside the Hokage Tower, and inside the Hokage's office, Naruto arrived right outside. He passed a few ninja, who either sneered at him or ignored him, until he finally reached the Hokage door. He glanced at the secretary behind the desk, and she nodded at him. She could care less if he had the Kyūbi or not, the was the reason she was hired in the first place.

Naruto gratefully bowed, a little grateful that she didn't look at him like most people do but was a little hurt to see her not pay attention to him as much. He really like attention. He stopped bowing and walked towards the door, and opened it, but not before taking one last glance at the secretary.

At least she doesn't hate me. He walked inside and closed the door behind.

"Aw, Naruto-kun, welcome! Come take a seat," he pointed at a seat directly across form him. Naruto shook his head, "No, I'm OK ol—." He stopped himself again, and swallowed, "Hokage-sama." Hiruzen smiled understandingly, "Sure Naruto-kun." He stood up, "Now, I'm sure there are some things you want to know concerning your tenant."

Naruto nodded, "Why did Mizuki call me Kyūbi? And what was he red chakra that came out of me? And what do you mean tenant?" The old man took a puff from his pipe as he overlooked the city.

"Naruto-kun," he began, as he breathed out the smoke. "What do you know of when the Kyūbi attacked the village?"Only that the Hokage killed him... but that's not true is it?" Hiruzen shook his head. He turned around and walked closer to the blond, "No Naruto-kun, he couldn't. He tried, believe me, but it was too much for him. So, he chose to seal him into a new born baby."

Gears in his head started to spin by now. Naruto's eyes widened, "He sealed him in me." Hiruzen nodded once.

That means I'm not the Kyūbi itself but just his jailor... Naruto locked eyes with the old amn and said, "But if I just have the Kyūbi, then why do the villagers hate me?" Hiruzen kept staring into Naruto eyes, and took a buff from his pipe, "The people need something to vent their anger on Naruto."But... why?"That's the way people are Naruto-kun.."

He clenched his fist again," So, I'm just a scapegoat?" Hiruzen shook his head, "No, Naruto. You can be anything you want, but a scapegoat, no." Naruto looked a little relieved but then he shook his head.

"Tell me something Hiruzen Sarutobi, and tell it to me truthfully, what about my parents. Are they alive?" Hiruzen looked deep into Naruto's eyes. He saw the sadness and anger deep inside from the Kyūbi revelation. He's a little nervous on what he might do pertaining the news... he had no choice for now, "Yes, Naruto. They are alive."

Naruto stood there shocked. His whole world was shattered with that news. He tried to form some more questions but the words just seemed to roll out of his tongue. His mind was in tormoil. He should be happy, right? But, his parents are alive... where are they now?

Naruto started to shake, "Naruto-kun, I know you'll happy to know that they're alive but I can't tell you anymore than that." Naruto snapped his head towards Hiruzen. He had uncontrollable rage following inside of him. Sarutobi saw it and something about the look inside Naruto's eyes frightened him a bit. The last time he saw that look was when he confronted his own student, Orochimaru. He grew frightened at the idea of Naruto turning out like his own student.

"Naruto-kun?" He questioned calmly, but on the inside he was afraid, I was sure he'll be happy.

A few seconds after the question Naruto snapped, "My parents are alive! What the fuck! They're alive! Did they abandon me?" Hiruzen looked called when each question and statement was thrown his way. He's pretty sure that everybody isdie the tower can hear Naruto's yell as well.

"Technically, yes Naruto they abandoned you but they have their curcumstances."

Naruto covered his face with his hand. He was too stressed out for anything else, "Fuck that! What about my circumstance Do they even know what my life has been so far? Of course not! I bet they're happy with each other and I bet they have other kids with them as we speak!" He paused," They abandoned me old man," he said a little more quieter. "I don't think I can forgive them for that."

"Now Naruto-," Sarutobi really tried to reassure Naruto but he heard none of that.

"I don't have any parents old man," he said with conviction and anger. "They're better off dead for al I care."You don't mean that Naruto."Of course I mean that! Fuck! Never mine old man." He took a look around, "and thank you old man for being honest this one time." He bowed.

Hiruzen looked a little shocked through the ordeal but quickly regained his composure when Naruto thanked him respectfully, "Naruto-kun, for all that is worth, they did not hate you when they left you. It's jus—."

"Stop. Just stop. I don't want to hear any more about them, actually I don't want to hear about them for the rest of my life. Now if you excuse me, I have to go"

Right before he was about to leave, he turned to the Hokage and asked, "Uh, about the genin exam." Sarutobi shook his head, "Sorry, Naruto. As much as I would like to pass you, I can't. Next time tough I bet you'll be able to pass n problem, right?"

Naruto smiled a little, "Right." But then his smile dropped, "What another year!" He turned around and opened the door only for some woman with red hair to drop on top of him. Naruto blushed a little in surprise and close contact. "Oh, uh, sorry about that."

The red head, nodded,, not bothering to look Naruto in the face. "It's fine," she mumbled. Naruto frowned as she pulled her self off him and walked away from him and closer to wall, allowing him to walk out the door. He took one last glance at her before closing the door behind.

Weird, Naruto thought as he finally left to steam some anger at the fact that he has to repeat the year.

When Naruto finally left the red head woman turned to Sarutobi. He smiled sadly, "You heard that, right?" The red head nodded slowly, "Y-yeah." She wiped her face when she made a few choking sounds, "Just didn't expect him to be as angry as I thought he'll be."

Sarutobi, nodded sadly, "Yeah, I'm sorry Kushina. It's just that everything came crashing on to him. But just give him time and he'll come around. I promise he can't sty mad for ever."

The red head, Kushina, nodded sadly but then forced herself to smile, "Yeah, I can slowly build my relation with him anyways." Sarutobi raised an eyebrow, "Does that mean you're finally staying with your family?"

She smiled, "Yeah, but make sure no body knows of this."

Sarutobi took a long buff of his pipe, "Sure but sooner or later people are going to know you and your family finally returned It's only a matter time."

"Yeah."

Sarutobi, too a buff from his pipe and finally set it down on his desk, "Now Kushina. I'm sure you are a busy woman just lie I am a busy man, so, if I can ask you to leave so I can continue my work."

Kushina nodded. She smiled and said, "thank you," before leaving.

Sarutobi watched her leave and sighed. Things have just gotten troublesome.
