"My, my. The summoning jutsu, and at only age 13..." I hear laughter. "Yes, she may have potential, but she isn't the best. At least, not compared to Sasuke uchiha" I scoff and turn away. "Think what you will.... i believe she has excellent potential."

One day 'till the last stage of the chunin exams. Today is a day off, no training. Since it's the last day, we've all been told to rest, so we can be ready and rested for tomorrow. But training keeps my mind off things. Just sitting around in my house is horrible... because i remember..

"It's... it's that kid again!" "Who asked you?!" "I thought i told you to stay away from her!"

I curl up into a ball. No, i-i don't want to remember! I don't!

"Hey, stay away, freak!" "What are you doing here? Is it this you want?! TAKE IT AND LEAVE!"

I'm remembering. It's like i'm seeing my past. The pain. I was hated, so much. Even the old man secretely hated me. I feel the pain from the curse mark in my neck reacting, and hurting, but i barely notice it.

"HEY!" The pain... "Stay away!" The loneliness...  "Creep!"

IT HURTS!

I feel pain flare through my body. The curse mark is making me feel like my neck is one fire. The room is distorting, changing. Everything is tinted purple. I can feel tears of blood coming out.

"Stay away!" "Who are you... wait, i don't wanna know!" "You'll never have friends, loser!"

I tried not to care. They hurt me and i didn't care. The adults hate me, so do the children. Because of the Kyuubi. Something i didn't know i had. I don't blame kyuubi.. but... I DIDN'T ASK TO BE A JINCHURIKI! I DIDN'T ASK FOR THIS! BUT THEY ALL HATE ME! I TRIED TO BE NICE, I GAVE EVERYTHING UP! All i wanted was for people to care about me.... When they weren't bullying me i was ignored. That's why i did all those pranks... All i could hope for was attention, not love.
I pulled pranks, because it's better having people scold you than having people pretend you aren't even there...

I pretended i didn't care! I trained every day, hoping i would get strong enough to be noticed! Those words... "I'm gonna be hokage! Then the whole village will look up to me, and realise just what they left behind!" I wasn't just talking. Those words.. meant a lot to me. But people kept putting me down.

And here i am, howling away in my room like a spoilt brat. What am i doing?! I.. i... Don't know what i am anymore. Iruka sensei... Teuchi san... were the only people who cared. But that wasn't enough. The hokage tried to help too... but...

The hokage LET you get hurt... secretly, he hates you!

"What? No! He- he helped me!"

Oh, yeah? So that's why he made you live alone and hid everything from you? That's why he witnessed you being hit, and never did a thing?

I flinch. "th-that's true..."

So, get revenge.

"How?"

You are unlocking a new power. A power that can help.

"I am?"

It's called the rinnegan. Think about it. You would be stronger than sasuke. Stronger than the HOKAGE!

"Really?"

Yes

"I...."

That choice was so difficult. I can get revenge... or stay like this. But somehow.. revenge doesn't feel right..

So you refuse to accept the rinnegan?

"I- i do.."

Heh.. you have passed my test.

"What?"

"Well done. You can take the rinnegan. It's your reward for not giving in.

"Th-thank you.."

The voice fades away. Suddenly, i feel my eyes change. The room seems.. differant. Everything is more detailed. I can see things i previously couldn't..

"So this.. is the rinnegan?" I whisper. The curse mark seems  have calmed down as well...

This just got interesting........
