The Corrupted Mind

-Dark alleyway in Konoha-

A boy with sun-kissed hair runs into a dead end with a wall many times taller than himself. The boy's name is Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, the so-called "demon" of the village, all because he holds the soul of the Kyuubi. This terrible monster attacked the village of Konoha the day he was born, and the soul was sealed into him by his own father, Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage and leader of the village. He knew his father hated him, and the rest of his family did too. Finally, his mother, Kushina Uzumaki Namikaze, agreed with his father to abandon him because she believed he became the demon he held inside of him.

Naruto's younger twin brother, Menma, and his younger twin sister, Mito, held 50% of the Kyuubi's yokai and were treated like heroes for it. Naruto never felt love in his life, never truly smiled at anyone or had anyone smile at him. He never felt joy for anything, including his own life. He was hated, beaten, tortured, glared at for something he had no control over all his life. He never asked to be a Jinchuriki, nor did he ask to be hated.

But even through all this, he keeps the façade of wanting to protect the village. He smiled at those that glared at him, knowing that every glare built his hatred for the villagers and family. Especially his family. They cast him aside like garbage and didn't think twice about it. His parents cursing his name even though they were the people who made him what he supposedly was.

Now he is about to suffer another beating from the civilians and ninjas of the village, all because of his father.

"I've found the demon!" one of the villagers cried.

"This is the fate you deserve!" another one growled.

And this was the start of it all.

This beating seemed to have more people, meaning more pain he had to suffer through. He balled up and guarded his face as he received his unfair punishment. The pain that he received was unmeasurable. A six-year-old boy shouldn't have to go through this. Nobody should know how this pain feels! How they treated him made no sense to him. His family abandoning for something they did, the villagers hatred because of their ignorance, and why it had to be him of all people.

Although it was hidden, he hated everything.

Everything was against him in this world, and he knew that. He learned at a young age that he lived for himself and only himself, even though he hid his feelings behind the smile that he so hates. He lived under one motto that he made himself and never told anyone-

"Live, fight, and love only yourself."

That had always been his motto for as long as he could remember.

"Damn it; it looks like we killed it before we could do more to it." One of the people of the mob huffed.

And he was right. Naruto's body looked like a bulging red stain coming out of the ground. Mutilated in every way possible as bones broke through the skin. But the villager was wrong about one thing. Naruto wasn't dead; he was unconscious.

-Mindscape- Kurama's Cage-

Naruto looked around in confusion as he checked himself over for injuries that were there just a moment ago, "Where am I?" Naruto decided to walk in a straight line until he found something that acted as a landmark. "The villagers probably threw me down here to let me die. It's time to find a way out."
