This is my first fanfic, it will probably be filled with typos and errors but I hope to improve, So without further ado let's start the story.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. The only thing I own is a bag of ideas and a bit of inspiration.
********************
********************
A young boy was walking down the snow-covered path as he carried a basket. His dark black bangs covered his face as he walked hurriedly through the twilight, twisting his way through the crowded streets.
*huff*
With panting breath, the young boy stood in front of an old house, he opened the door.
"I'm home," said the boy as he quickly closed the door behind him.
He went to the kitchen removed the vegetables from the basket on placed them on the table along with a bottle of oil for the lantern.
"Oh Ren-chan, you didn't have to bring these, I would have done it myself you know." Said an old lady who entered the kitchen.
Ren turned back as he smiled at the woman, "It's okay grandma, I just wanted to help you out as you were having a fever." The old woman held Ren by the shoulders and led him out of the kitchen.
"Ren, why don't you go and rest for a while until I cook you food."
Ren accepted it as he walked to his room and laid on the bed as he softly muttered "I should learn how to cook, grandma is cooking me food while sick."
He fell asleep quickly as he was a bit tired.
**********************
Ren woke up slowly as he smelt something unpleasant. He rubbed his eyes as he looked out the window. Only to see the window on fire.
This jolted him out of his sleepiness as he heard people screaming. Without a second glance at the window, he ran to the hall but calmed down as he saw his grandma walking towards the door.
"Wait!" Ren called out to the old woman just as she was about to open the door.
*boom*
The door burst open as sharp pieces of wood went flying and pierced the old woman in front of it.
"HAHA!" An insane voice came as a tall man stepped inside holding a sword. Ren stood there unblinking as he watched the old woman hit the floor in a bloody puddle.
'This... Am I having a nightmare?' Thought Ren as what happened was too horrifying to be true. He locked his eyes with the tall man who had just broken into their house, His face seemed to have a manic grin, and his eyes had strange repulsion to it.
It made Ren gulp as he backed a little, he looked at his grandma once again to see her mouth something "..run"
But before he could even begin to run he felt a pang in his thigh.' Huh?' Ren looked down to see warm blood drip down his thighs where a piece of wood had penetrated his skin.
Ren used whatever strength he had in his body and started to run to a window limping all the way.
"HAHA YOU THINK YOU CAN RUN BRAT?"Came the sadistic voice behind Ren as he grabbed the edge of the window to get out of the house.
*slick*
A sword stabbed the wall narrowly missing his hand making Ren look back to see the man who had just thrown his sword across the hall. Ren knew that he had missed it intentionally and was just playing with him.
"NO GOING OUT LITTLE BOY! I WILL KILL YOU MYSELF" came the deranged voice of the man. Ren limped his way across the hall to the kitchen
'I need to survive' thought Ren as he took hold of a knife from the table and a bottle. Ren stabbed the bottle open and ran with it to his room. The man seemed content to just walk slowly as he neared the boy taking pleasure in seeing Ren run for his life.
Ren pushed the door behind him to close it as he entered his room. The man kicked the door open and narrowly dodged a bottle thrown his way.
The man looked in front of him to see the boy holding the knife in his direction as he slashed downward at the man in an attempt to kill him.
"YOU ARE SLOW BRAT" the man held Ren's right hand and kicked him hard on the chest,
*pop*
Dislocating ren's arm which made ren stagger backward in pain while one of his arm fell limply to the side. Ren quickly held the knife in his left hand as he edged backward in an attempt to gain a little distance.
"Kekekek, HAHAHA YOU HAVE CORNERED YOURSELF, NOW SCREAM!" said the man as he rushed to Ren where he again dodged a slash by Ren and held his right arm.
*Twist*
*Crack*
The man again let go of Ren's arm and Ren almost fell to the floor due to sheer pain, but the man held Ren's neck and lifted him into the air. He looked at the boy's eyes expecting him to see fear.
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
"WHat?" The man looked at the boy who was glaring right at him without an ounce of fear.
*Thump*
He rammed the boy against the wall but the boy did not scream.
*Thump*
*Thump*
*Thump*
Blood was slowly dripping down Ren's face covering one of his eyes. Which was still glaring at the man with a deep hatred.
"WHY"
*Thump*
"DON'T"
*Thump*
"YOU SCREAM!" The man threw Ren across the room.
*Crash*
Ren lay on the floor near the burning window with his face down, unmoving.
Out of the view of either of them, a higher consciousness was watching them.
[Suitable host detected. Initializing requirements condition analysis.]
The man with a bit of suspicion went to Ren and lifted him holding his shirt.
*Gulp* The man felt goosebumps as he saw the boy glaring at him, his eyes seemed to stare down his soul judging him for all his worth.
"This is done" The man muttered to himself as he was unnerved by the boy and using his free hand grabbed a knife from his pocket and held it.
Ren looked behind the man and the man felt his instincts scream at him to move.
*splash*
But he staggered backward into the window as the boy spit some liquid into his eyes which made him drop the boy and the knife.
[Analyzing Records...Analyzing Chakra...Analyzing Energy...Special Energy Detec-*CLASSIFED*...
*Woosh*
"AHAHAH" The man screamed in pain as fire caught onto his dress and quickly spread to his body. His face started to burn as the fire engulfed his whole head.
Ren slowly stood up trembling under his own weight and picked up the knife dropped by the man and stabbed the man in the neck. The man fell to the floor as he tried to scream but to no avail as no sound came out of his throat.
The man slowly struggled as he felt blood fill his throat and the crimson flames burn his muscles snuffing out his life slowly and agonizingly.
Ren looked at the man in cold fury as he felt lightheaded due to all the injury and blood loss.
'NO...' Ren grits his teeth to slow down his inevitable unconsciousness and maybe death.
[Analysis Complete...Host detected to be in danger...Emergency protocol activated...Becoming visible to the host in 3,2,1... ]
Ren blinked as he looked at the floating screen in front of him.
[Objective: Survive]
"What?" Ren muttered exhaustedly still gritting his teeth.
[The Host is advised to run out of the building to avoid death.]
Ren just accepted it as him going insane, but still dragged himself out of the building and as soon as he stepped outside the building collapsed in on itself. Ren gulped as he narrowly missed death.
[The host is still not out of danger, Detecting multiple hostile Entities...Plotting the safest route]
Ren stared in disbelief as the whole town was burning and people were being killed by bandits. Ren stared at the screen as it spoke and the screen changed.
[Go straight to the village South-Eastern border Quickly]
Ren took the information and started to walk with all his willpower. Each step seemed agonizing as his head throbbed due to all the beating he had received earlier. He took slow and shallow breaths as he felt his ribcage poking his lungs.
'DON'T STOP, WAlK...WALK..' Ren grit his teeth harder and harder with each step.
Ren slowed down as he saw the border, A river that separated his village and the next one. Ren's eyes widened as he saw two bandits there, standing on the corpses of a heap of villagers. Their eyes turned towards him.
'Am I going to die here?' thought Ren morbidly as he felt strength slowly leave his body.
*slick**slick*
Two heads fell on the floor as a man appeared out of thin air behind the bandits.
Ren looked at the man who appeared 'Yellow hair... Blue eyes... Headband' was the last thought Ren had when he lost consciousness.
[Objective cleared. The host is out of imminent danger]

Author's note:
So how was it? Okay? Bad? Tolerable?
Well anyway, I am going to mostly flip the canon Naruto verse on its head so things are going to be different, This is an AU universe and I will bring lots of new things to it, so look forward to it I guess...
