"Perfect. "Says Yuuto, "put the board on top of him and we will start pilling on the rocks." Nozomu places the board and turns to pick up a rock.
"This one is for my sister. "he says as he places it on the board above Naruto's abdominal area. "And this one is for my Father." As he placed a second one right beside the other.
The one called Riku steps up with a rock and puts it beside the others saying, "this one is for my daughter you, sick fuck."
"We are obviously going to need something heavier, these things aren't even winding him," says Yuuto as he walks over to some large bricks. the others follow and start to ferry over brick after brick placing each one while saying someone's name or an insult.
After a while, Naruto has been struggling to take full breaths, and after a few more blocks, and a few more insults, there is a resounding crack and a scream, as one of Naruto's ribs breaks under the pressure. Kakashi almost moves to free Naruto and beats up the three villagers, but he remembers the conversation with the Hokage. "You knew this is what I would see old man," Kakashi states in his mind.
"P-please, I haven't done anything." Naruto whispers, "I don't even know who you're talking about."
"Of course you don't know." Yuuto turns to Naruto with an evil glint in his eyes. "Why would the Kyuubi remember everyone he's killed? That's why we are here, to make sure you know the few that we knew."
Riku and Nozomu moved over and pushed the rocks and board off Naruto; leaving him tied up. Yuuto pulls out three kunai and hands one to both of the others. "Okay, boys, how about we leave him some notes." Yuuto advances and pulls up Naruto's sleeve.
"Please, don't do this," Naruto begins to beg, "I'll do anything, just don't- Agh!" Naruto screams in pain as Yuuto carves the word "Murderer" into the boy's arm. The others come over and pull up his other sleeve and his shirt exposing most of his torso. More words are carved, "Demon", "monster", "devil", "evil", and so many more. The whole time, Naruto screams. This continues until all of his torso was covered in words carved into his skin. Kakashi waited, and waited, listening to the screams of his new student knowing he could kill all those men before they knew what happened, but his orders were to not interfere.
"I'm sorry Sensei, I didn't know this is what he was going through. I should've kept a closer eye on him." Kakashi closed his eyes so he would have to see Naruto's suffering, but listening to his screams where worse.
"Alright, we've run outta canvas," Yuuto says, leaning back to admire his handy work.
"I guess we should leave before someone accidentally finds us." Suggests Riku stowing away his kunai.
"This part of town is abandoned." comments Nozomu, "and even if someone did find us they would just be angry they couldn't join in the fun." He too puts away his Kunai.
"I'm going to cut your hands free but don't free your feet till we are gone, got it Kyuubi?" Yuuto grabs Naruto's face staring at his eyes until he nods. "Good."
Yuuto cuts Naruto's hands and stows his Kunai, "we should keep these Kunai, we could sell them like artists sell their old tools." the trio walk away talking about the money they could make off their "Pens". Once Naruto couldn't hear them nearby, he untied his feet.
Using the post beside him to stand, he starts to cover the "handy-work" and walks towards his home. "Well, they brought me most of the way back home at least." Naruto wobbles out of the abandoned district and down a road leading to the red-light district.
"Wait, this is where Minato Sensei's house is," thinks Kakashi he still follows Naruto. "I didn't know it was still standing."
Naruto makes it the rest of the way home without getting into trouble again, though that doesn't mean all was well. The entire way names and spits where directed towards him from every person that passed. Naruto thou looked to be in his own world.
"Kid," a huge booming voice heard only by Naruto speaks. "let me heal up your wounds."
"No Kyuubi, you can heal my ribs, but if they see the words gone hey will just carve them again," Naruto speaks in his mind. He and the Kyuubi were introduced to each other when he was very young. Naruto was allowed to live on his own after he turned 6, and Naruto would be left without the Hokage for periods of time. During these times, the villagers would beat him till he almost died. After his closest call, Naruto was pulled into his mindscape to talk with the Kyuubi. Since then they've been able to speak freely to each other.
"Fine, but at least let me make them into scars." Kyuubi says dejectedly. "they might get infected otherwise."
"Okay, Kyuubi." Naruto soon begins to walk easier and makes it closer to home faster. "And Kyuubi, thank you. You're the only one who understands. It's comforting." Naruto says softly.
The Kyuubi says nothing as Naruto begins to climb the stairs to his apartment. He unlocks his door and steps in, leaving his shoes at the entrance. "I'm home," Naruto announces to the empty house. Kakashi Jumps onto the roof across the street from Naruto's apartment. He perches and watches as Naruto turns on the stove to heat some water. He pulls out cup ramen and places it on the table behind him. He then walks to his room and pulls off his bloody tee shirt. Kakashi looks at the kid's wounds to see if he should head to the hospital but instead finds that the boy has only scars left.
"I guess the Kyuubi's healing powers are working well for him," Kakashi mumbles to himself.
Naruto puts on a pajama shirt with the Konoha symbol on the back and some pajama pants as well. Returning the water is ready to go into the cup, he then sits at the table waiting on his ramen. Finishing his food he washes up for the night and gets into his bed.
Kakashi feels a flood of memories as his clones disperse. It looks like Sakura went home and had dinner with her parents before gossiping to Ino Yamanaka about her day. Sasuke trained, ate, and went to bed. "Great," Kakashi thought, "so only one student may be two to worry about."
After a few hours, Kakashi felt like it was safe to leave the sleeping blonde. As he turned to Shunshin home, he heard Naruto yell, "My name is Naruto!" turning back, he could see the blonde drenched in sweat and breathing as he had just run a marathon.
"That will probably come up on a mission," Kakashi said to himself, taking a mental note to put sound barriers on Naruto's tent when outside Konoha. Leaping off the branch Kakashi goes home thinking bout what he saw today. Thinking about how he won't be able to face Minato Namikaze until Naruto doesn't have to live in this hell.
