"for your lack of protocol, and apparent use of the kyuubi chakra, the honorable council of konoha sentences you to exile, naruto uzumaki. consider this adequate punishment for failling to bring back the uchiha child." spat a pleased looking pink haired female.
looking around the room i find nothing but glares of hate or looks of shame, the shinobi council all have their heads bowed refusing to meet my eyes, i look to the hokage seat to find granny tsunade fighting back tears of rage a look of helplessness on her face.
"i'll be ok baa-chan," looking to the civilians i reach up and remove my konoha headband, "if ever there comes a day when this village is in danger, remeber it was you honorable council who banished your greatest weapon... jinchuriki's are not cheaply made."
with my piece said i let my headband fall from my hand and as all eyes follow it i shushin away. moments later i appear at my apartment, i burst through the door to my bedroom moving toward the closet, and pushing aside a large trunk. i slide my hands through a crack in the floor and trace along it until i reach a catch.
gripping tight i lift up to reveal my secret stash, a rainy day fund of atleast 8 A rank missions worth of ryo notes, several sealing scrolls worth of kunai, shurikens, and finally a special weapon i obtained from tenten's uncle that runs the weapons shop here in konoha.
a five and a half foot long double edged black blade, made entierly of chakra conductive material, with a leather wrapped pommel and wing shaped guard. this blade which is named revenant is actually one half of a set of twin swords thought long lost.
one change of clothes later (AN: picture dante from dmc reboot with blonde hair.) and i'm walking toward the gate of the village with revenant slung over my shoulder. waiting for me, the konoha 11... guess now it's 10, kakashi-sensei, ero-sannin, and baa-chan.
"hey guys, here to wish me luck." i say with a strained smile on my face.
"this is bullshit, none of us could have gotten sasuke back and had it been anyone but you naruto he would have killed us." shikamaru practically rages, clearly he was taking this hard or he would have kept his lazy apathitic nature.
"yeah they can't banish you for something you couldn't do." this comes from kiba.
"failing to save sasuke isn't why i'm being exiled, it's what i used to try and get him back." i say closing my eyes, if i couldn't tell them now they would only findout at a worse time. before kiba can ask what i mean, "do any of you know what a jinchuriki is?"
"rough translation is it's basically a human sacrifice... shinobi with biju sealed within them, they are trained to use the power of their biju." leave it to sakura to have an answer.
"right and when is my birthday?"
"october 10 but i..."
"when did the kyuubi attack?"
"october 10 but why aren't..."
"and when does the biju need to be sealed to make jinchuriki?"
"on the day of the infants birth but naruto you are dodging the... question..." sakura stops mid rant and her eyes go wide before she starts crying.
shikamaru lowers his head, as do shino and hinata, kiba just looks forward then shouts out, "massive fox or not your my buddy and i don't give a damn what anyone says."
"thanks kiba, do me a favor."
"anything pal."
"take care of everyone while i'm gone, make sure baa-chan doesn't start drinking away the pain again, make sure everyone here trains their asses off, keep ero-sannin from peeping, and be sure kakashi doesn't spend three hours a day at the memorial stone. think you can do that for me kiba?"
"no sweat, i'll look out for them, but now you gotta do me a favor."
"sure thing, what is it?"
"don't you dare die, alright... you're supossed to be our hokage one day." at this tears slip down kiba's face.
"yeah sure thing, but you'll have to send a pervert and a dobe out to get me cause i'll be hiding away from the world." at my attempt of a joke they all crack smiles that don't last. then kakashi walks forward and neals before me.
"i wasn't supposed to giv this to you unless you made chunin, orders from my sensei... but it's a little late for that huh, i... i shouldn't have listened to the council. they made me focus on sasuke because they were afraid he was a flight risk, but in the end it didn't help... if i had trained you and sakura better than maybe..." i take the scroll he ofered and shake my head.
"train the teme he flees, train us he flees, train all three of us he flees, i think we have to face it no matter what he would have left, because he thinks no one here will help him kill itachi." kakashi nods and takes a couple steps back. jiriya steps forwad to take his spot.
"i'll keep in contact through the toads, and help you were i can, but i'm not sure how often that will be, but here this scroll contains your inheritance from both sides of your family. and goddamn fuck this village, and fuck what sensei told me. your parents names were kushina uzumaki and minato namikaze, this village attacked their hero's child, if i could i'd go rouge right now for that fact alone... but damn if i don't have to many attatchments here."
"dont go rouge, when i come back i want to see you and baa-chan arm in arm you here. thanks for telling me, but i kinda had my suspicions about dad anyway, i mean how many people in the village have blonde hair and blue eyes outside the yamanaka." at this jiriya chuckles humorlessly. trading places with him is none other than granny tsunade.
"i made you a pack and a first aid kit, i'm so sorry i cant do more, or that i didn't do more the had me politically traped, it was this or hand into danzo's care and he is known for ripping the emotions from those he trains, it was as sure a death sentence as execution. just know no matter where you go... i'll always cheer for you, because your the greatest ninja ever."
"thanks baa-chan, i don't need much anyway anko taught me how to hunt when i was younger, so i'll be good on food. i'll miss you baa-chan." i say as i hug her, muffling what tears fall from my eyes.
then we seperate and i move to walk through the gate, "not without telling me goodbye your not." turning around standing there is a distaught and hagard looking anko, "ibiki just told me what those old bastars did, be safe out there ok."
"anko-nee-chan," i throw myself into a hug with my oldest and closest friend, we both shared the same pain, and eventually she became the big sister that i hadn't known i needed in my life.
"you stay safe and one day when this has all blown over you come back home ok."
"yeah, i'll be back. for you guys not the village... my home is with all of you." we then seperate and she hands me two kunai houlsters and new shuriken pouches.
"i had the pervert over there make them for me, they were supposed to be a birthday present, just push chakra into the seal in the houlster and the kunai will return."
"thanks nee-chan." i strap the houlsters to my thighs and attatch the pouches to the back of my belt.
"naruto, i thought you were right handed."
"yeah so did the teme, no i'm actually ambidextrious like the teme, but could never afford more than one houlsters worth of rusted kunai." i respond once i'm done, "well wish me luck i'm gonna need it."
"so where are you gonna go?" this comes from choji who had been quiet and uncharateristacally not eaten a single thing.
"well my first stop is a secret but from there i'll be headin to wave, not sure how long i'll be there then i'll go where the wind takes me." as i go to walk by choji hands me a bag full of food.
"you'll need it more than me, and there are some gifts from my, shika's, and ino's parents."
"you don't have to..."
"here naruto," turning i see kiba holding a smoke grey wolf pup in his hands, "she didn't bond with any of my clan memebers so i figured you'd like the company, she doesn't have a name yet." almost reverntly i take her from kiba's hands,she instantly licks my face and wags her tail. "that means she likes you, so naruto... what's her name?"
"yoru, with a coat like that not much else i could call her really." sitting yoru on my head i walk past all the others, momentarily meeting eyes with hinata. "hey, cheer up a frown doesn't fit you hinata."
"but you're leaving... and... and i..i never got to tell you h..how i feel." she forces out while looking down.
"you dont need to tell me how you feel i kinda figured it out right after the mission in wave, i just never knew how to go about asking you out. how about this when i get back you and i will have a date. sound good to you hinata?"
"what do you mean when you get back naruto-kun?"
"those bastards may have gotten me exiled but i'll not abandon my friends, if you guys are ever in trouble i'll find my way back to you, that's my promise." i look at each and everyone of them in the eyes, "well wish me luck." with that i toss a wave over my shoulder and start walking away before they can see the tears streaming down my face.
TWO MONTHS LATER OTOGAKURE
walking down a labyrithine corridor, i hook a right turn and find a massive door. focusing a finite amount of chakra to my nose i smell snake on the other side. looking at the door i reach out and force the door open.
inside is a training ground of sorts, standing among some of the dummies there is a rehabilitating sasuke, orochimaru watching over him and fixing what flaws he can find... though i believe he is either attempting to keep him weak or is as blinded as the villagers.
"your footwork still sucks massive dick teme," i speak cooly as i step forward from the shadow, "and your security needs some improvements orochipedo."
"ahhh naruto-kun come to join oto now that konoha has exiled you."
"no, i'm just paaing through thought i'd stop by and give sasuke a present for all the birthdays i'll miss, don't worry it's not a trap... but it might change how you see the world." i then toss sasuke a scroll.
"what is this naruto?"
"that is the truth about one of konoha's greatest tragedies, the very same one that tore you and itachi apart."
"what do you mean? i already know the truth..."
"no you know what itachi told you, and in case you forgot itachi was in anbu and was quite good at lying. just read the scroll and then decide who truly deserves your anger."
i turn and walk away as he opens the scroll, and as i make it to the vent i came in through all i hear echoing through the hall is sasuke's savage decleration, "i swear by my blood i will have your head on a pike as decoration to my home danzo, you manipulative bastard... use my caln and then my brother... you're dead, the reaper will come for you and nothing will stop me."
i wonder if that was enough... i guess only time will tell, who knows maybe he will kill danzo and he might even return to the village.
AAAAANNNNNDDDD SCENE
AN: alright first off, this story was inspired by another naruto ffvii crossover called the lost son of konoha, but it will not be a copy paste sort of deal, anyone who has read that story will be able to tell because of how different it is already.
second i hold no rights to the blade revenant it is actually a weapon a friend of mine created and crafted for a dungeons and dragon campaign luckily he let me use the idea for this story, the right to the blade revenant belongs to my pal kojun akuma.
and finally to any who have wondered why ive been away for so long, i'm in a predicament here at home trying to find a job so any and all updates will be quite infrequent...
well thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed, DAT HYPPIE IS OUT PEACE
