Hey guys! This will be my first Naruto fanfiction. I hope you like it.
I was going to publish this on October 10th since it is a 'Naruto's B-day' story, but never got the chance to.
You see, I decided to be in my school's Fall play at the time I started writing this. Since rehearsal didn't start until later in the evening, I just stayed in the one of the computer labs for study hall and just continued writing chapters and started drafts for other stories I'm working on. I was on a good start when I had started getting sidetracked on doing school work and remembering my stage directions (I was an extra, so I didn't have lines).
I will be having less time with updates since I am now a Junior in high school. Gotta keep my grades up. Sorry :(
And I don't know when I'll post the next chapter this either. Sorry, again.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of the Naruto characters. If I did, Boruto wouldn't be a thing.

Naruto's POV

It's almost here. October tenth, my birthday, but also the day the Fourth Hokage, my father defeated and sealed Kurama, the Kyuubi no Kitsune inside of me.

Yes, I know about the Fourth being my father, as well as having a gigantic sealed in my gut. I'm not as dumb as everyone believes. It really wasn't that hard to figure out. I mean, you have to be pretty dumb not to realize that I look just like the Forth Hokage; and about Kurama, I met him after getting beaten by the villagers on my fifth birthday. He even told me the truth about what happened the night I was born.

Flashback

Fear. That was the only thing I could feel right now as I ran away from the villagers.

Why is it that they do this to me and nobody else? Why do they call me a demon? Why do they always beat me up, especially on my birthday? I heard from other kids that birthdays are supposed to be fun; you get presents, cake, and it's like you're the center of the universe, but not for me. All I get are bruises, cuts, and pain.

I turn down an alleyway, hoping to escape them, but of course, lucky wasn't on my side. A dead end.

"Ha! We got you now, Demon!" 

"Now we  can finally finish what the Fourth started!"

Two of the villagers held me down while the rest of them got different weapons out.

"PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!" I cried out. "I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!" They just laughed at my cries.

"Why shouldn't we kill you after you killed our friends and family?!" One of them shouted.

They dug any sharp object they had into my skin. They beat me with different blunt objects.They stabbed me multiple times in the stomach. I don't know when, but I passed out during the torture.

I then found myself in a sewer. Just great. First the stupid villagers beat me up, and now they throw me in this sewer.

"Kit,"

"H-Hello?"

"Follow the sound of my voice."

I did as the voice said.

"That's right, kit. Keep following my voice."

After a couple of minutes, I found myself  in front of a large cage that has a piece of paper that says 'seal' on it.

"Hello." I called out.

"So, my jailer has finally decided to grace me with his presence." A big, orange fox with nine tails swishing behind him then appeared inside the cage.

"Who are you? Where am I?"

"I am the Kyuubi no Kitsune. We are in your in mindscape, kit."

The...Kyuubi? It all makes sense now.

"So, you're the reason why the villagers hate me."

" You don't seem angry at me, why?"

"Because, you don't seem to be as evil as the villagers say you are; and besides, why should I take their word for anything?"

The Kyuubi smiled. "Well, it seems you're smarter than I thought."

"Well, I am the only one in this village, besides Jiji, Kashi-nii, and Ita-nii, who knows that the Fouth is my father." The Kyuubi laughed at that. "Hey Kyuubi, I have a question."

"What is it, kit?"

"What's your real name? I know 'Kyuubi no Kitsune' can't be your actual name."

The Kyuubi looked shocked for a second and then started laughing again.

"HA HA HA HA! You know, you're the first to ask me my name. It's Kurama, kit."

End of Flashback

After that, Kurama told me about what really happened when he attacked. He also told me about my parents and how happy they were when they found out they were gonna have me. He told me stories about them and how they met and fell in love.

I don't know why the villagers call him a demon; he's so nice. I know he's huge and all, but he's really nice once you get to know him.

All of a sudden, I heard my name being called. I turn my head to the side and see the Konoha 12 under a large oak tree. Sakura walks up to me and starts pulling me towards the group.

"There you are, Naruto," she says. "We were looking everywhere for you."

"You were?" Why would they be looking for me?

"S-Sakura-san had thought t-that we should g-go to the K-Kyuubi F-Festival together." Hinata stuttered.

"The Kyuubi Festival? I-I don't know guys. I'm...really busy....with...stuff..." Kami, I'm such a terrible liar.

'You're telling me, kit.'

'Shut up Kurama! Who asked you!'

"Come on, Naruto," Kiba said as he slung an arm around my shoulders. "You're never with us whenever we hang out."

"I can't believe I'm saying this, but Kiba's right, Naruto." Ino stated. "Whenever we invite you to hang out somewhere, you always decline saying you 'need to catch up on training' or you're 'getting ramen with Iruka-sensei'.  She used air quotations when she said my excuses.

'Dammit! Why won't they just give up?!'

I sigh. "Look guys, I just don't want to go to the Kyuubi Festival."

They all gave me confused looks before a certain Uchiha spoke up. "Come on, Dobe. I've been to the festival every year and I've never seen you there once. I would've thought you, of all people, would want to celebrate the day the Fourth Hokage, your hero, saved the whole village."

I bit my lip. I can't let them know about my birthday, or else they'll hated me! Dammit! Why must you guys be so determined to get me to go to that stupid festival?
