Naruto huffed as he finally escaped the mob of villagers.

"Hello." A calm, almost despicable voice whispered.

Little Naruto was frightened, terrified. He shakily undid his pouch and took out a kunai.

"Who's there?"

A masked man appears out of no where.

"Oh," Naruto grinned evilly."It's just you."

Naruto sensed two people up in the trees above. Naruto snapped his finger once and the figures dropped to the ground, frozen stiff.

The masked man chuckled and shook his head,"Bloodthirsty as always, huh."

Naruto grinned wider as he cut the shinobi and licked the blood off his kunai.

"I could say the same for you."

The masked man showed no emotion,"Come, we have a lot to talk about."

Naruto was now on his way to murder the one who raised him.

-Flashback-

"When you get older, Naruto. You will kill me to prove your strength. You will despise me for as long as you live." The masked man spoke.

"I live to hate, kill, and not to love. This affection of mine is only shared with the ones who deserve me, the ones who do not despise me. But no other will receive mercy, especially my mercy. That is my ninja way," Naruto spoke with a monotone voice.

"Good."
