The story so far

12 years ago, a man known as the Yondaime Hokage, or Minato Namikage sealed the greatest of the tailed beasts, the Kyuubi, away in a newborn baby. Everyday for the past 12 years, he has been abused and mistreated. He is continually called a monster or demon incarnate. That is not the case, he is but the jailer of the Kyuubi, and suffers for it everyday. He is apart of a group that changed Konoha for the better. The Rookie 9. But one defected and joined the one man that wishes to see Konoha destroyed. Orochimaru. The Konoha 11 left after him, but the boy lost his best friend anyway. He is about to leave with legendary sannin Jiraiya to train for 2 and a half years so he can get his best friend back. His name: Uzumaki Naruto.

Chapter One: Leaving Home

Naruto POV

'Yes!! Ero-sennin will help me get stronger. I'll be able to get Sasuke back from that snake teme Orochimaru.' I thought as I ran towards my destiny…err I mean Konoha's gates.

"Naruto!" Sakura yelled. Heh…. Sakura, one of the prettiest girl's in Konoha and apart of my cell, team 7.

"Don't you dare run off without saying goodbye you…you…" She yelled at me as I turned to face the oncoming shinobi.

She did something that I never expected her to do. She hugged me.

"Sakura-chan" I murmured. "What's this for?" I asked her as she slowly let go of me.

"That's so that you come back alive, and not in pieces." Sakura said with a hint of sadness in her voice.

I gave her a foxy grin." Don't worry Sakura-chan. I'll come back in one piece and then we can get Sasuke back from that snake teme" I said with Guy Sensei's good guy pose.

"Just come back. And if I see you using that pose again I'll……." Sakura trailed off. She turned to look in the opposite direction.

I turned to see what she was looking at. Then I saw it. Every single friend I had in the village had come to see me off with a bang. And Ero-sennin was with them.

Tsuande, Shizune, Kakashi, Kunerai, Asuma, Might Guy, Neji, Lee, Tenten, Kiba, Hinata, Shino, Shikamaru, Choji, Ino and Konohamaru. They all showed up to say goodbye.

"You guys..." was all I could say as they smiled at me.

"My my Naruto. Do you really think that we could let the Number One Most Hyperactive Unpredictable Ninja leave without saying goodbye?" Kakashi asked while still reading this book.

"Course not you baka" Tsuande, my obaa-chan yelled as she punched my arm, causing me to fly through a wall.

Shizune ran up to me to check that I was still in one piece. "Tsuande-sama, you should be careful of your strength, you could kill the boy one day" she berated my obaa-chan as she healed my fractured skull and broken ribs.

"I'll be fine Shizune-neechan. Not many things can keep me down." I said with a slight smile on my face.

Jiraiya came over and hauled me up. "You ready to go?" he asked. "I was ready when Sasuke teme left the village" I replied.

Jiraiya smiled. "Lets go then" he said. As we started walking out of the village, everyone grabbed me and hauled me back.

"And what do I owe all you great shinobi?" I asked while silently praying that I wouldn't get killed.

Ino yelled "We have presents for you. One from each of us so you will remember us!!"

I smiled. It was nice to actually have friends that wanted you to remember them.

Jiraiya and I left the village 10 minutes later, with my pack heavier than it was before.

Flashback…

Tenten gave me her present first. "Wow Tenten, where did you get these?" I asked the now blushing Shinobi. "Well," she began. "My dad owns the best weapon's shop in Konoha, and we had some spare Kunai and Shuriken lying around, so I sealed then in the scroll so you can carry them easier." "Thank you Tenten, this means a lot to me" I said sincerely.

Sakura walked up to me next and gave me some medicine. Thank god she didn't know about my furry little problem. I thanked her from the bottom of my heart, and also said "I will use this medicine to heal anyone I see, whether it be friend or foe" She seemed to like that statement and smiled at me before walking back.

Ino was next and gave me a ton of scrolls. I looked at her with slight confusion. She answered, " These have flowers that are all around Konoha and the flower shop sealed in them. Please look at them and remember Konoha" I nodded and thanked her.

Obaa-chan came up and gave me some scrolls on Chakra control and Medical jutsu. She pulled me into a tight hug. "Now you can definitely help anyone who needs help." She whispered. "Thanks obaa-chan" I whispered back. "Don't call me that," she murmured before pulling out of the hug.

Turns out that Shizune and obaa-chan think alike because I got another set of scrolls on chakra control and medical jutsu's. Thank god that they were different sets of scrolls. I thanked my onee-chan and gave her a small smile.

Sharingan Kakashi gave me a mask to cover my face. I have no idea why, but I thanked him anyway.

Shikamaru gave me a book on Shinobi battle tactics. That just insults my intelligence. Oh well. Deciding that it was a good read, I thanked him and said that he definitely needed a life.

Master Genjutsu user Kunerai gave me Genjutsu scrolls so that I could improve all of my skills. 'What gave you the impression that I needed help with Genjutsu?" I asked with only the jonins picking up on the sarcasm. She replied, " You shall eventually see why" with her sarcasm only getting picked up once again by the jonins and me.

Asuma came up and place some worn out trench knifes in my hands. "What are these for Asuma sensei?" I asked. Asuma replied, " These were my first trench knifes, I learnt to use them so that I didn't have to rely on conventional methods" I had a massive grin on my face at the prospect of learning a new weapon. "Thank you Asuma sensei!" I cried.

Lee and Might Guy can up at the same time a presented me with chakra weights, body weights and a training routine that they had come up with for me." Um…. thanks you guys" I said uncertainly. "May the power of youth guide you" Lee said while standing in the good guy pose. "Well said Lee. Guy sensei! Lee! Guy sensei! Lee!" Lee and Guy sensei cried. I sweat dropped at this, and I could see that the others were doing the same thing.

Neji gave me a scroll on fighting stances and how to properly execute them. I thanked him deeply for it. I knew that this would definitely help me.

Good old Kiba gave me a map of the whole Fire Country. His excuse being that he didn't want me to get lost when coming back home. I smiled at him. He took my genuine smile as a thank you.

Shino gave me a book on poisons, his reason being " You can never know enough about poisons, where they come from, and what they do to you" I took that as a queue to say thank you and to promise that I would read the book. He took that as a true promise between friends.

Chouji gave me soldier pills. I automatically knew that he was making sure that I didn't die in battle from anyone or anything. He took our friendship seriously. I thanked him for giving them to me.

Konohamaru was second last to give me something. He gave me a scarf to keep me warm during winter and to remember Konoha and him. " Konohamaru. Thank you for your gift, it will serve me well." I said in a low tone to only he could hear. "Thanks Naruto Onii-san." Is all he said while I smiled at him.

Hinata was the last one to give me a gift. She pulled out a scroll and unsealed whatever was on the inside. She held it out to me. I slowly removed the cloth that was draped over it. It was then most beautiful Katana I had ever seen. "I…I…. it's…. cal…called F...Fox B…. Bane. M…My father f...found it at a s…shop and g…gave it to m...me. It re…. reminded m…me of y…you so I n…named it F…Fox B…Bane." They shy Hyuuga stuttered to me. "Thank you Hinata-chan. I shall learn to use this blade and come back as a protector of my village." I said quietly so only the Hyuuga heir could hear.

Good-bye everyone. See you in 2 and a half years. Don't get killed or I'll dig up your graves and kill you again. Bye!!

End Flashback…

I smiled as I remembered what everyone had done for me. I would definitely come back a better Ninja.
