The Fox Tamer
Naruto was an odd child. Not many in the village cared for him. Many tried to kill him; few get away with breaking an unknown law set by the Hokage. Naruto had no friends and few people who ever cared for him. That was why Naruto spent most of his childhood living in the wilds of Konoha's Forest of Death. Naruto's only protection from those who try to kill him at night came from the animals that lived in the forest. Even the Nara-raised deer would fight and defend little Naruto until he was old enough to fend himself.
But most importantly, there was an underground spring hidden deep under the Forest of Death where only Naruto and some animals would be able to get into. Inside this underground spring/meadow was a family of foxes. The foxes would follow him no matter where he went, and some of the older foxes would hunt for Naruto when he was still too young to fend for himself. This underground home is where Naruto made a living, with enough underground floras that gave enough oxygen, and a spring that was crisp and clean and would never pollute.
He was the Fox Tamer. Nature was his home. And the human he never trusted because they would hunt down his own kind for blood sport. He would never trust humans. And for as long as he lived, he would always honor and protect fox kind.
