2 01Survive

It's been six years since the kyuubi no kitsune brought back to the leaf, later on sealed within a baby of immense vitality to be it's host. From the years went on the baby [Naruto] was sent to the orphanage a decision made by the Sandaime of Konaha village hidden in the leaves Sarutobi Hiruzen. Later on information leaked about the jinchuriki's whereabouts and this led to him being mistreated, at the age of four he was chased away and forced to live in the streets fending for himself.

Few weeks later

'Why am I hated?" Asked the four year old boy.He wore a grey jacket with a large unzipped hoodie a white shirt inside with a fire Insignia on the belly part near the belly button [where the shiki fun is hidden] and black pants with open toed boots. He had a bright azure blue eyes that screamed boredom but if one looked closely you would find a torrent of negative emotions whirling around him. His skin was pale as the Hyuuga clan clansmenbut still healthy and had three pairs of whisker marks which resembled a kitsune and last but not least a mop of spiky bright blonde hair that reached his neck but with from the roots of the hair from the hair if looked closer one would sees white Tufts of hair emerging .

"I have done nothing wrong but everyone avoids me like a disease. What's wrong with me ", unshed tears still left unshed remained showing the pent up sorrows and despair he had to live with.

No guardian no friend to help him or offer a helping hand , hungry and worst of all lost. He looked healthy, but other factors are helping him from negative impacts damaging his body.

If one would look closely without he would be described as magnificent even alas the hatred and fear of the people still clung to their hearts blinding the people from seeing a boy in need instead of a container, that would one day release a Phantasmal beast of malice and hatred that would forever haunt them.

"Maybe I'll go to the forest and eat the berries , at least that will sate my hunger,"leaving the abandoned building had I ran to the forest . It's been some times when he found it by accident when chased by some people claiming beasts should live in forests , I still wonder what that is all about "

Finally I arrived at the forest , the first time I came here it was scary having trees so high I couldn't see it's too and it's branches cast nightmarish shadows , maybe because it was at night and being chased by the people older than me screaming bloody murder so that they may have my head ."

Never trust people that was my first rule I implemented when I they say 'you can trust me or maybe promising to be kind or even offering "help" it always lead to me being in pain and I won't allow that anymore.

Now that I was looking at the entrance to the forest it really was beautiful, the pine green leaves , vibes that snaked its way around trees and even the flowed I'd see occasionally time to time . I breathed in deeply and took the cool air into my lungs and exhaled "so relaxing."

Maybe it wouldn't be so bad to live here, food would be near, no people showing their hate to me and the whole place was serene it's silence the river flowing as it brushes against the earth and the birds that would often pelrodice heavenly music. maybe this is why it's called mother nature

I climbed the tree nearer to me and with the help of it's vine I climbed it, it was about of a hassle due to it being short. My efforts gained fruits and once I reach a sturdy branch I sat on it while taking short large breathe ." That's odd I'm normally never tired"I thought?

I scouted what I was looking for and found it , it's skin a shade of garnet red and black with an almost spherical shape, didn't know the fruits name but it always is tasty as Well as satisfying. They are always in plenty but people never come near it . I stretched out my arm and once I had a hold of it I held it firmly and yanked it hard, Huge miscalculation on my part as I descended down . Panicking I held onto what seemed like a vine except for it being black and really thin. It was too late to know why happened nest as I fell down with a thud ." Freaking migraine , ouch!"

Thank kami my lunch was safe, it was on my left arm no bruises as it was safely put in my hands , I also had no bruises and my skin still unblemished, "Odd I thought that would leave a scar or maybe even bruises!"

Now to the matter at hand my right arm held the 'vine' that was suppose to save me , on closer inspection turns out it was a snake. This would scare the hell outta any kid his age except for him having encountered many animals larger than him but still none showed ant hostile actions. The snake rose it's head and sick amber slit eyes met Bright azure with almost slit pupils with purple pigment around it .

The snake almost made a bow with it's head and slithered off my arm and returned back to the tree where it was perched up and continued to sleep. "Almost died , and what's with the snake , I wasn't sure but a saw a gleam in it's eye, I couldn't identify it but it wasn't anything hostile directed to me at all , it was almost similar to acknowledgement. "I mussed in my head while spinning the fruit on my index finger .

I need knowledge on what's going around me if I'm to find out what's with me to discern the problem if there even is one . All that remains is one problem where the hell do they keep all stored knowledge. I sank back to despair as I hugged by legs to my chest as dark cloud poured rain onto me .

An idea came up, what if I ask anyone about where books are kept and ...that plan went to smoke and flames , I as the pariah of Konaha , will lead to me being ignored, misdirected or a a one way fight.

"What will I do ?,of course I could disguise myself then walk throught the town freely, I patted myself for the genius idea and got to work .

Turns out not much is needed , all I need is to wear my hoodie coving my hair and hide my whiskers .

I decided to do it simply by using a scarf to hide myself to make it look like a boy with insecurities . I just hope lady luck is there somewhere and she better not disappoint.

For the scarf it wasn't hard to find or in this case borrow without permission and never return[not stealing(◕ᴗ◕✿)].my victi.. ahm *clears throat*I mean my associate who left this parting gift was a kid older than me sleeping near the park, It was so tempting not to stea ammhh *cough,cough*borrow for the hour .

Now I'm ready , I have at myself from the reflection of the river I walked to which passed the forest , and I have to say I'm killing it .

I walk casually around and search for a civilian who is maybe a teen or some one in a small age bracket to reduce suspicions of me walking around or being found out .

I meet my unsuspecting information breaker, now he will help the cause which Is for me to find the keeper of knowledge.He can't hide forever .

He was the age of seven years wearing odd clothing's which was saying much , he wore brown pants with many pockets and a striped cream and black shirt as well as black toed boots. He had huge eyes as well as bigger eyebrows which honestly looked as thought they were bred having the resemblance of catapillars .

Now I doubted whether I should gather information from him or just wing it and find another one . More fear no gain , that's how the saying went I think, I went and I started the greetings

"YOSH, greetings my name is Rock Lee .what's your name?"

"HUH!!!" I muttered !
