1 Chapter 1
It was a cloudy evening. In one of the many dark alleys of Konoha, a vile creature was cornered. As it was poorly lit, the creature only saw a short dark figure mostly a human child and definitely male just that his eyes were kinda strange, pitch black eyes as and two white pupils glowing in the dark and that seemed to gaze straight to its very soul. Worse of it had a knife
Seeing no escape routes, it literally bare it's fangs at the dark figure.
The short dark figure understood that this creature was getting serious, for any creature will toil at its most when it is cornered. It will fight to escape or die trying.
"Sorry my friend"said the dark figure with a sad tone."Only the strong survives... And I want to survive."
With that the creature leaped towards the dark figure aiming it's jaws for it's attacker's neck, only to tackle the dark figure to the ground. It proceeded to bite the now exposed neck.
The dark figure lifted his left arm to block the incoming attack, only to be bitten. The creature increased its bite force causing the dark figure to grunt in pain and his arm to bleed.
Feeling that his knife was still on his right hand he drove it to the back of the creature's skull. Twisting the blade, the creature went limp and breathe it's last.
The dark figure freed his injured arm and laid there on the ground breathing heavily.
After a few heavy breath, "I survive yet again." He said to himself with a sad smile.
He turn to his injured arm only to see that it was starting to heal itself. The hole on his arm caused by that vicious bite was filling itself moments later it was already healed leaving a small scar, to remind him of this encounter.
The dark figure just stared at this marvel "No matter how many times I see this, it never stops to surprise me"
This was not the first time this had happened. This inhuman self- healing questions his humanity on a daily basis. Is he human or something else.
'Enough of these depressing thoughts.' he thought to himself and he rose to his feet,"I better get going."
Before that, he looked at the condition of his clothes...or rags to be exact. It was drenched with blood.
"I look like a serial killer" he commented not happy at all.
Not moment later, a lady came to the scene with a trash can, since it was dark she did not see short dark figure standing there.
A strong wind caused the to lady to cover her eyes from the dirt that was carried by the wind.
That wind now had helped to clear the clouds and the moon revealed itself with all its glory illuminating the dark alley.
The lady screamed at the sight that welcomed her. She was welcomed with the sight of a young blonde boy with a bloodied knife at hand with equally bloodied clothes.
What truly terrified her was when the blonde boy turned to face
her. The boy had three whiskers like birthmarks on each cheek and his eyes, pitch black with white pupils that shone with no emotions.
She fell to the ground and screamed,"Save me! The demon has killed someone!"
The young boy sighed, he picked the creature he killed and left the scene.
Three ANBU ninjas arrived at the scene, one of them being the leader went to the lady and said in an emotionless tone,"Don't worry miss we are here to protect you. Just tell us what happened"
"Y-yes"she stuttered."It was that de- I mean the blonde brat. He had killed someone!" She almost said the word 'demon '.
Everyone in the village of Konoha knew not to ever mention the word demon when addressing to that whiskered blode boy, or suffer fate worse than death, as stated by the third Hokage himself. So the young lady had to correct the words she almost spat at the ANBU.
"Boar, report this incident to Lord third immediately."ordered the ANBU to the other ANBU ninja wearing a boar mask.
"Hai" he replied and leaped to the roof leaving the scene.
Turning his head to the remaining ANBU he said, "goat, take this lady to her home safely."
"Hai"replied the goat masked ANBU and led the young lady away from the scene.
When none were left at the scene except the ANBU leader,"Let's see what that brat had done" said the ANBU leader walking to the pool of blood left by the blonde boy.
The ANBU leader knelt down, took some of the blood on his finger tips rubbing it so as to feel it's texture and then he sniff it.
He immediately used his radio, to contact Boar saying,"There is no need to report the incident to the Hokage."
"Hai", replied Boar without asking any questions.
The ANBU Leader jumped leaped to the roof and silently looked at the Hokage monument, focusing his sight at the Fourth face carved to that rocky hill.
"Sorry Sensei", he said with a sad tone,"we all have failed you."
With that the ANBU leader also left the scene.
At the Hokage monument, on top of the Fourth Hokage's head, sat a bloodied blonde haired boy looking at the nightlife of so called 'The hidden village of the the leaf'. He sighed, this was the home of many strong shinobi, but to him it was a hellhole. How many times was he chased by the drunk mobs and ninjas only ending up beaten and bruised, slashed and stabbed, left to die in the alleys, treated like dirt-no even the dirt gets better treatment than him. He... Was just a waste of space.
It is true that life is hard and when life fucks you, it fucks you real hard.
A rumble was heard. The blonde boy pats his belly, "hai hai, I heard you"
He turned to the creature he killed in cold blood. It was a beast Konoha could never exterminate. You killed one and five or six of them spawns the next day. The Hokage himself receives fifty or more extermination request daily and was the second most hated mission after the Tora retrieval mission.
Oh! how every ninja, Genin, chunin or Jounin dread to accept this mission, it always results in a lots of scratches and bite marks and that was just Monday. But it's meat is rumored to be delicious if one knows how to remove it's shit like smell. That is if one knows.
And if the citizens of Konoha were to name these foul creatures, it's name would be 'Chakra rats', yes these creatures are rats themselves. But these rats are by no means small compared to their smaller cousins these are at the size of a new born dog and had evolved to be able to use Chakra on their teeth to bite through a lot of stuff to fill their bellies.
The young boy skinned the large rodent with his knife that he stole-ahem-found a month ago. He then prepared a small camp fire and just roasted the rodent.
He had a few minutes till it was cooked, it would still smell like shit but it was still food. Beggars can't be choosers right?
He looked at the village again, and he lost in his thoughts, 'I have survived this long on my own. yet I feel so... lost. Does my life have any meaning other than to survive in this hellhole?' he sighed.
"I don't want to survive, I want to live", he said. But a burnt smell broke his self talk, "something smells like shit."
He turn to his roasted rat and exclaimed, "shit!" It was burnt.
"Shit!shit!shit!", he kept cursing while taking his meal from the fire inspecting the damage, only the surface was burnt.
Scraping the burnt surface, he began to to devour his supper. After swallowing the first bite, "it still smells like shit." he said
To taste the flavour of food, the taste buds are required. But without the nose the taste buds can only uncover just 50% or less of the full flavour of any dish.
The blonde boy squeezed his nose tight with his left hand and continued to finish his meal.
When he released his nose, the shit like taste of the meat began to molest his mouth. But that went away with two mouthful of water.
He then sat on the edge of the stone head looking at the village again, then he fell back and lay his head on the stone looking at the sky.
'I won't give up', he thought to hjmself. 'I'll find a reason for my existence and the world will know my name'
"My name is Naruto. Believe it!"
