Behind the Mask

Prologue

Naruto Pov - Age 5

Is there something wrong with me, am I not meant to have friends, am I meant to be a monster, am I meant to die, should I even be alive right now?

All the other kids never play with me, and when I ask them their parents rush over ask them if they're alright ' did the demon hurt you' ' it's okay we'll take you to the hospital right away' 'don't worry they'll make sure you didn't get a disease', am I really that bad, am I really a 'demon'.

Parents... I wonder what it's like having parents, would the care for me me, would they love me, would they kiss me when I cry, I've always asked these things but the villagers say that my parents abandoned me because I'm a demon, they say I was abandoned because I'm a monster, a disgrace, a murderer, a killer, a freak, they say jiji only pretends to like me so when I get older it'll be easier to kill me...

Third Pov

These were all the thoughts going through little Naruto's head, he was so distracted that he didn't even notice it was October 10th, or as the villagers called it the 'fox hunt'.

As Naruto walked he didn't the notice the villagers sneaking up behind him or the shinobi watching, waiting for the right moment to strike from above, he didn't even notice walking into a dead end, that was until he hit the wall and turned around.

Naruto's terrified and painful screaming filled the air that night, when he finally stoped screaming his back had numerous words cut into it, his stomach was the same as his back and worst of all one of his innocent blue shining eyes, was missing, cut out from his eye socket a empty black hole just staring into the sky still hoping someone would love him, but that hope was slowly diminishing into nothingnes
