Naruto exhaled after a long work out session, spanning the entire day. He was currently living in a small apartment in the slums of Gotham, it wasn't nice but it was something he was used to living with. Besides he made it as clean as possible, tearing down that yellow wallpaper and painting the walls light green color with oak wood floors, it was one bedroom, one bathroom, and a small kitchen, and it was in the quiet part of the slums. It wasn't the best but it was home. Well, his new home, he never really liked Konoha, and no one should wonder why.

He spent the entirety of his childhood, hated, alone, starving and almost constantly on the brink of death or insanity

It was by some miracle he ever survived. And those where the Good days. For the first bit of his younger years on his birthday, people would throw rocks at him, destroy his home and what little possessions he had. It wasn't until the third started arresting people that's when the isolation happened. When he reached the academy the teachers sabotaged his education making sure he was always out of the room or getting rid of homework or simply failing him without looking at the answers. He spent three years being held back.

Then when he became a shinobi, his team always revolved around Sasuke because he was the last Uchiha, his family was slaughtered, he has the sharing and he's a damn genius.

Eventually, he thought he was making progress, though he was making friends, proving the village wrong. Until he failed to get Sasuke back.

Everyone blamed him for it, even accused him of betraying the village by giving Sasuke to Orochimaru. Tsunade didn't have any choice the backlash was too great from the civilian council. he understood, why he was put under house arrest and he didn't blame her since she had no other choice, she even made it as laced as she possibly could have.

But then everyone else. His "friends"...not one of them stood up for him, or supported him, or even looked at him in the eye. Except for Hinata, she tried, but her family outright hated him except for Neji. Who held a great deal of respect for Naruto and was the closest thing he had to a friend.

During that time under house arrest, he dreamt and somehow always came back to the Seal holding the fox.

Their conversations weren't very productive at first. The fox would taunt him and try to go him to release the seal. Naruto would yell back no way in hell and it continued on for a while. Eventually, they had that same argument without Naruto having to be asleep.

Still, over time, the argument got boring and repetitive, and slowly the fox opened up to the boy out of boredom. It was sad. The cause of all his suffering, the thing everyone cursed him for. The Nine-tailed fox quickly became one of the only friends he could rely on. Outside if Hinata and Neji. Of course, there was Iruka sensei. He actually was in charge of his house arrest but he never treated him any differently. But even so his faith in the village was diminishing quickly and he wondered just what kind of future he could possibly have here. He seriously doubted he would ever become Hokage. But he was still determined to go for it. Fox or no damn fox.

Although Naruto didn't trust the nine tails completely as the year went on the two of them actually began to like one another and held a mutual if still untrustworthy respect for one another.

On missions, he and Kurama quickly became partners, Kurama keeping an eye open for sneak attacks and giving Naruto advice. And allowing Naruto to use more of his chakra with better control.

Eventually, Naruto wanted to leave the village, especially when he wasn't allowed to participate in the chunnin exams.

But the final nail in the coffin, was When Kurama told him who his parents where.

After that, he made his master plan to not only leave the village but take everything that was rightfully his. It was the greatest heist in Konoha history.

*Flashback 2 years earlier*

Naruto waited underneath the shade of a tree a few feet from the Archives, this was where all the clans and even the hostages stored their inheritance and wills. It was also where he stole the scroll of sealing.

He made sure to don't his during the day, the Anbu were less active and the streets were more crowded in the day making it much easier to cause massive amounts of chaos.

*meanwhile*

"Look I'm worried about Naruto alright," Jiraiya said standing in front of Tsunade in a rare moment of sincerity. " His house arrest is over, something I was against I might add. So let me take him on a training trip. It will do him some good to get away from this for a while."

Tsunade sighed and shook her head.

"I'm sorry but the councils are doing everything in their power to keep him in the village and on a short leash. I had to wrestle with them for months to wave his house arrest." she said pouring a shot of vodka and pulling out a thick envelope. "this is all the Goddamn paperwork I needed to go through just to get him an off house arrest." she pulled out a thicker one next and it slammed against the table. "This is everything I needed to do to try and allow him to participate in the churning exam. And the council used everything in their power to block me. I've had to fight tooth and nail just to get Naruto onto missions. The councils just won't allow him to leave the village for such a long time."

"I don't give a damn what the council thinks this isn't healthy for him! Everyone's turned on the poor kid! If those dammit shut heads knew who Naruto really was they'd be begging for forgiveness on their knees!" Jiraiya downed a shot of Vodka. "Honestly. The kid was dealt a shit hand. I want to get him out of here for a bit to save what little of his sanity there is left. I'm telling you he's at a tipping point. I can't tell what he's thinking these days on the rare occurrences I do see him."

Tsunade sighed drinking straight from the bottle. She was in the same boat as Jiraiya but it wasn't like it was just the civilian council. It was the Shinobi and the elders that were in agreement. It made it difficult to do anything with Naruto.

"Jiraiya I want to help I really do but it's going to take time. Right now Naruto is able to walk around the village like before and go on missions even train. It's a start. Besides this is Naruto we are talking about I'm sure he wouldn't do anything craz-"*BOOOOOOOMMMMM* Tsunade dropped her bottle and quickly turned around to see is an enormous orange dust cloud from the Market. Jiraiya sighed rubbing his nose with a a small smirk on his face.

"You were saying, Hime?"

*back to Naruto.*

He had made about a thousand clones, a large amount of them where hinged into iwagakure shinobi that were being controlled by Kurama And throughout the village the other clones were waiting to set off pranks and fireworks. The shinobi would be scattered trying to figure out the battle tactics of sabotaging pranks while being attacked. Leaving the Archives right open. It was time.

Naruto initiated his plan and all over the village people were screaming and the alarms where blaring.

*in the forest of Konoha*

"About time." a hundred disguised clones rushed At Lomo have borders drawing the attention ignore the guards.

"We're under attack!"

"he hehe let's see how well this all goes!"

*Kinshasa marketplace*

A clone smirked and rolled out a large scroll and a giant cloud of black smoke engulfed the area burning everyone's nose and eyes, it was a putrid smell of rotten Potatoes, onions, and manure.

Several shinobi that were in the market at the time gagged some even lurching over and throwing up and the inuzaka clan withered in agony trying to clog their sensitive noses to shield them from the smell.

Shinobi where getting caught in traps on the buildings, trapping many of them in nets, Putrid bombs to the face, and even some low-grade explosive tags to cause as much chaos as possible.

He made sure to hit the clan buildings and trackers the hardest. He used the sensitive nose of the tracker dogs against them detonating a Putrid bomb there. The Auburn clan was simple he just introduced a mix of pheromones and sugar into the air sending the bugs into a frenzy.

The shikaichacho, trios were fairly simple to take care of he just slipped in some laxatives into choji families food supply, and traped the Yamanaka inside their homes with seals, and finally, he made sure the Nara clan were fast asleep with the help of incense he made from the flowers in the Yamanaka flower shop.

He placed dozens of chakra flash bang traps around the Hyuga estate, using their incredible eyesight to their advantage. He did feel bad that Hinata and Neji would get caught in the crossfire though hopefully one day he could make it up to them.

*in the Hokages office*

It was chaos as Tsunade repaid orders and tried to figure out what was going on!

"Lady Hokage. These been several reports of conflict in the southeastern village with Iwa shinobi. The clan houses have been hit with specialized methods to incapacitate them. So far the enemy has been utilizing decoys and shadow clones they may be a smaller unit or a diversion." Inochi said, "also the enemy seems to utilize Stench bombs and traps rigged around the village several buildings have been destroyed."

"I need an update on how are things looking with the evac of sectors three and five?" Tsunade asked reading several reports in the situation in the village.

"So far it's been going smoothly too smoothly, to be honest. However moral is low due to the fact that the clan houses were quickly taken out of action."

Tsunade groaned

"I want you to pull our forces to the front lines I want all available Anbu out in the field now! Jiraiya I need you to go find Naruto make sure he's safe." Tsunade ordered and the ambulance Guard and Jiraiya quickly jumped out if the room just in time to avoid an explosion as the room was filled with a powerful yet putrid bomb the smell stinging the occupant's eyes and forcing them to evacuate the room.

*Boom BOOOOOOOMMMMM boom!*

*with Naruto*

He hit the village hard but with no lethal force, they didn't deserve to die. He just wanted to mess with them one last time as he left for good. Hundreds of his henged clones went wild pranking almost everyone and destroying abandoned buildings hinged into enemy shinobi. To increase the chaos and confusion. His plan was working with frightening success. Tsunade and the elders were too busy dealing with the "enemy" than putting a stop to the pranks that were stopping their forces from gathering. Eventually, she had to call on all of the Anbu to get the village under control. He smirked a bit and detonated the putrid bomb in the Hokage's office. He made sure to make this one the most foul smelling one. Just to be sure that the high command of the village was occupied for as long as possible.

He saw several Anbu run towards the Hokage tower leaving their post wide open. He quickly slipped inside avoiding the few gourds left in the archives before he reached his destination. He found his father's notes, several scrolls addressed to him, and a few other things he didn't want to leave behind like his Kunai sets, then he found his mother's scrolls on chakra chains, and her katana. Not to mention several Uzumaki clan scrolls and a few family heirlooms from Uzukagkura. After retrieving those he took the scroll of sealing for good measure. He stored everything in a large sealing scroll and strapped it to his back.

"kit you better make a run for it they're starting to catch on to your plan I'm doing my best to sell it without killing anyone though but you better hurry."

Naruto nodded and snuck out of the archives and ran. He smirked watching all the chaos in the streets as people panicked Anbu getting stuck in his traps, the color orange and the smell of rotten potatoes filling the street. And everyone thought he was an idiot, please if there was one thing he always excelled at it was causing mass mayhem through pranks, avoiding Anbu on a daily basis when he was Five and getting away scot-free most of the time. but This took the cake for his greatest prank. It was truly the greatest prank and diversion he will ever pull off. Ah, he wished he could spare a second to take a picture but he needed to run fast.

*with Jiraiya.*

The sannin sighed searching for Naruto on top of a telephone pole.

"Dammit, you Brat what have you done this time." he groaned covering his nose and mouth in a cloth to avoid the effect of the foul Stench in the area.

He quickly ran towards Naruto home. It was a long shot that he would be there but he needed to check anyways. As he arrived he opened the door and barged in and froze. He looked around and didn't see a thing one of Naruto items in the room he barged into Naruto room and only found one item that was left behind. On the dresser was his Headband. A folded letter resting underneath.

"...Shit." Jiraiya picked the paper up and the ink spread up and over his body trapping him in place. He struggled to love but he marveled at just how well done this seal was. He doubted he could even break free on his stood there with a great mix of Pride and Disappointment in the situation."...huh...guess he was paying attention."

*Back to Naruto.*

The clones were quickly being destroyed and soon the entire village would be on his ass if he wasn't long gone within the next hour. He ran across the rooftops quickly and carefully. Once he reached the Large border he ran up the giant walls jumping into the woods on the other side quietly. As he landed on a tree branch he enacted phase two opening a scroll and making 20 clones he handed each one a dirty pair of his clothes to spread his scent out in different directions. That should keep any trackers he missed busy while he made his escape.

He ran deeper into the forest looking back and smirking as the piece of resistance was being added. Written across the Fourth Hokage's face were three words.

You failed him.

It was a bit petty of him, to be honest but he wanted everyone to question why those words were written. He hoped they would realize just how badly they screwed up.

He made a beeline for the land of waves he was planning on hiding out with the townspeople in wave country for a bit while things calmed down. Then he would make his way to Uzukagkura to train and study, and from there he would find Sasuke and kick his ass for good measure and drop him off tied up in front of Konoha gate. Then travel around as a Rogue shinobi until he found a place to call home. Maybe go up to snow country to work for the princess.

His heart was racing with the fear of being captured racing through his mind, but the promise of freedom and a better life away from this damn village fueled his flight. He tapped into Kurama's chakra going into 4 tailed cloaks and speeding through the forest at a speed not even bushy brow sensei could reach….well he could probably keep up with him at Four Tails. But he had a good enough head start that he was hoping that wouldn't matter.

He ran at the speed for an hour when the last of his clones popped in the village and he knew he was being chased. He was hoping that he had a large enough lead to make it to the land of waves without being caught. If he could make it there he could hide out for a bit. Hopefully.

He pushed off each branch and headed for the ocean. As the night came he didn't stop, he ran for two days straight before he decided to rest. He leaned against the side of a tree and rested his forehead against the large four-foot tall scroll sweat dripping from his body and his stomach growled in protest. He pulled out an Energy Bar he stoke from Chojis place and took one bite before he felt full and filled with energy. He looked down surprised at just how effective these little guys were and folded the wrapper saving the rest for later.

He twitched as a clone popped and the images of Lee landing a roundhouse kick on a clone flashed through his mind. Another clone was destroyed by Kiba. And another by Shino, and another by Kurenai and Asuma. It wouldn't be long before they found the right trail.

He didn't want to risk them catching up so he reached into his pouch and popped a soldier pill in. he swallowed it down and went back into four tails mode. It was the most he could control right now. It would be enough to give a squad of Anbu a hard time if they caught up. He sped off but not before making another ten clones and handing them dirty laundry as well. Once again they scattered in different directions. To throw off the trail and to avoid making a straight line so he headed north-west towards Takigakure from there he would head east going through a small proving north of oto where he could slip into hot water country. From there he can head south and find a small boat to take him towards the ruins of uzu. He sent a clone heading straight for wave country. If he could fool them into thinking they lost his trial he was home free. He sped off and he got another memory from a clone. Hinata tried to talk him down. Only for someone to come up from behind him. Looked like one of Danzos men. He almost forgot about the sneaky bastard he would have to stop using four tails mode if he wanted to lay low.

He kept sprinting at speeds that not even the trains in snow country could match by the time night came he was only half a days walk from Taki's border. He deactivated his form and pulled out a scroll. He unsealed the compartments and got to work. He rubbed make up on his cheeks to hide his whisker marks. Next, he took out a bottle of hair dye and proceeded to dye it dark brown. It was a common hair color and would help him not to stick out. That took him about an hour to do. Next, he picked up some contacts and put them on. They would hide his naturally blue eye color with a darker green. Finally, he changed his clothes so he looked like a traveler. He his ninja tools around his body and strapped the scroll to his back once more. Walking amongst the trees...now that he had a moment to actually think about what he was doing...he was hit with the uneasy feeling of being helpless. He was on his own. If the Akatsuki found him he was on his own. No backup. No rescue mission. If he was found by enemy shinobi he'd have to deal with them alone and escape unnoticed. He observed his surrounding carefully and walked onto a dirt road.'Kurama...any chakra signatures in the area?'

'Two up ahead.'

'Gennin?'

'I can't tell. It doesn't feel large. You might be able to pass by unnoticed if you suppress your chakra. Though that giant scroll is a dead give away.'

Naruto pulled out a smaller seal and sealed the bigger one inside. He took a deep breath and

Suppressed his chakra sure enough two taki shinobi were walking towards him.

They ran past him only giving a passing glance before continuing on their mission. Once they were out of sight he let out a sigh of relief before continuing on his way. That was way too close for comfort. He walked for a few days passing shinobi from different villages but was able to reach wave country easily. He had sent a clone this way and it was caught. He figured they'd assume it was a false trail and left the area. He stopped by Tazunas home and he helped him get about. He made sure not to tell the old bridge maker where he was heading. Not because he didn't trust him but because he just didn't want to cause any trouble for him. But he and his family were more than happy to help even giving him enough provisions to last a month. After sailing for a few days he reached the ruins of Uzu. During its invasion, the entire island was nearly destroyed to its foundation.

The island was scattered with ruins and flooded in many places. But a few buildings were intact enough for him to stay in. he hid the boat under some rubble and moved in. the place kinda freaked him out he wasn't going to lie. He found more than a few skeletons laying around. He made sure to bury the ones that he could, he didn't want any angry ghost coming after him.

He spent two months growing some food in an abandon farm and training on his own. He was able to learn almost everything in his mother scroll through his constant spamming of clones. And because he and Kurama were on good terms he didn't have to worry about the fox trying to break free through his training.

sadly over the years, the village had been looted clean for the most part. Though he was able to find a library under the old Watchtower. It was hidden behind a door that looked like it had taken serious battle damage. As soon as Naruto put his hand on the door though he felt a prick and the sound if gears turning before the door creaked open. The scrolls there held decades of Uzumaki History, culture and most of all. Jutsu and blood samples from several notable Shinobi. Apparently, the blood was kept sealed as a way to test if someone could artificially inherit bloodlines from an ancestor by injecting blood. The notes were thorough and despite how crazy and idiotic it sounded. They had apparently been making progress until the attack. The lab was sealed off and only an Uzumaki could open it. He always had a dozen or so clones reading through the notes. He wanted to understand and maybe even expand on the research. He was never going to go to Orochimaru levels of mad science...but if he could get stronger through his ancestor's research he would do it.

After a few weeks, he made a pretty decent home for himself. A temporary one sure but still. The plan was to stay here for a few months he found a farm that was mostly intact and the grain had grown wildly and I harvested for decades now. So it wasn't so hard for him to start planning food for himself. It only needed a bit of work but once it was done he was able to sleep soundly.

Sadly it didn't last. He wasn't surprised that it didn't. He knew he couldn't outrun them forever. Eventually, they were going to find he came up with a plan, an Ace up his sleeve. Something to tip the scale in his favor. So when he opened the scroll of sealing and looked for something that would help him he zeroed in on one if his fathers Jutsu. His fathers was the most interesting he was working on a way to teleport without the need for a second seal point. It was only in theory but it looked like he had finished most of it before he died. With his somewhat advanced knowledge of seals, he could finish it. Maybe even perfect it.

He began to practice the Jutsu carefully each day making a bit more progress. it would be incredibly useful if anyone caught up. He spent a good four weeks practicing and memorizing the hand signs, calculating the chakra he would need and picking a location to teleport too. Then one day Kurama spoke up. They had finally managed to track him down.

"they're getting closer whatever you're going to do, do it now kit!"

Shit, he didn't have enough time to figure this out he had no idea if this would even work or if he would just die.

But it felt like they were getting her fast even he was able to sense them coming. Even if he ran right now they would catch up to him.

Looks like he was just going to have to do it. He could spot Kakashi followed by Sakura, Shikamaru, Ino, Kiba, lee, Choji, Neji, Hinata, and Jiraiya running towards him in the distance.

They landed a few feet in front of him with sad expressions on their face. Followed by Iruka.

"Naruto, that prank went too far," Iruka said stepping forward with a disappointed sigh. Sakura shook her head.

"Naruto what you did was borderline if not full on treason. What the heck were you thinking sending the village into a panic like that." Shikamaru sighed "honestly your troublesome but I never that you'd cause such a panic."

Kakashi rubbed the bridge if his nose and sighed.

"Do you know how many people you hurt? How much damage you caused the village? And not only that you stole from the archives. Please make it easier for yourself and come with us peacefully." his masked sensei said lazily. "you can't escape now. Don't make this harder than it has to be Naruto."

Naruto looked around and took a step back picking the scroll of sealing gently off the ground. He and Kurama could sense the other hiding in the ruins and water. They actually sent an army after him.

"...Naruto-Kun. Please. Don't do this." Hinata begged. She didn't like this at all. She couldn't believe it either. The idea that Naruto would betray the village. It was impossible. But here they were. She was hoping beyond hope that she might be able to stop him before he went too far. "Please come back. If we go now you'll be alright. We can go back to being shinobi and comrades. P-please Naruto-Kun. Don't make us fight you like Sasuke."

The blonde looked at Hinata with a sad expression. She was hoping her words were able to reach him hoping that he would listen to her.

Naruto only sighed and shook his head. He was hoping to avoid this. He was hoping he had a large enough lead to stay ahead of whatever team that was deployed. He supposed it was only a matter of time. The fact he lasted this long was impressive enough on its own.

Still, he really didn't want to hurt anyone too bad. Every injury he dealt in his escape was minor and would take a day or two to heal tops. even now he didn't want to fight. Especially not anyone here. Besides he couldn't fight all of them at once, even if he made every single clone he possibly could.

"...I'm sorry...but. can't stay, not after all that's happened. Not after all the lies, or being abandoned for my entire life. I'm done. No matter what happens today. I'm never setting one foot back into that village. Not even for my godfather." he stared emotionless at Jiraiya. And he froze on the spot. Somehow. Naruto found out who his parents where. And the pain was so clear in the boy's eyes. Sadness, disappointment but those were swallowed up by the feeling of betrayal. His voice held a heavy sorrow no one and heard from the boy before. But it quickly turned to a venomous anger the longer he talked.

"...you abandoned me. Left me to starve. Then you act like I'm nobody when I finally do meet you. You ditched me at every opportunity to peek at women. My dad was an idiot to think you would be a good godfather!" Naruto yelled his tears evaporating against the red chakra cloak. He was doing more than just talking with them he was stalling and gathering the chakra he needed for the jump. Another tail sprouts forth sending him into 6 tails mode but he still remained in control. He shook his head and placed his hands in his pockets and started to draw the teleportation seal on his right palm. "You and Kakashi both failed my father. You both had the audacity to come into my life and treat me like nothing!"

His former teammate and friends looked a bit confused at what he was talking about. Causing him to chuckle.

"hehe confused here let me spell it out. The fourth Hokage was my Father! The hero that saved the leaf from the fox, the man whose face stands over the village that abandoned and hated his son and made him an outcast! Well, guess what I'm done! Konoha can burn in hell for all I care!" he finished drawing the activation seal on his palm and waited for an opening. If he made any sudden moves her never even get the chance to activate it.

"Brat it's more complicated than that, there's a reason why the third didn't mention your heritage," Jiraiya said only for Naruto to laugh.

"Oh that's hilarious and I suppose there was a reason why I was forced to beg for food as a toddler, or sleep in the gutter, or be pelted by rocks on my birthday, I'm sure there was a wonderful reason why my entire inheritance was stolen from me, or why I had to pay double at stores just for rotten and expired food! Please tell me where the divine wisdom came from!" he yelled in anger as two more tails his red cloak began to flicker into a shade of gold without causing a transformation.

" oh or how about when the council used me as a scapegoat like when Sasuke ran away! time and time again I have been lied to! Stolen from, and trampled on!" he ranted. And the seal on his palm glowed a bright red. As Kurama's chakra cloak glowed bright gold as a ninth tail sprouted out.

The capture team was ready for a fight and he noticed Shikamaru try to capture Naruto in his shadow possession. He tossed a Flashback into the air and flashed through the hand signs.

"...Goodbye." he gave his former friends a soft smile.

Hinata acted immediately deactivating her byakugan and running forward shielding her wasn't going to let him go. Not like this.

He bit his thumb and slammed his palm into the ground as his entire body glowed. He grabbed the scrolls and as the Konoha team lunged at him. Jiraiya reaching for him mere centimeters from grabbing his arm. Hinata diving for him as well. Then the world around him seemed to stretch and twist before he felt himself falling through darkness. He fell like this for a few seconds until he crashed onto the floor of an alley exhausted.

*present day.*

Naruto reached into the fridge and pulled out a bottle of water.

He did not miss his life in Konoha. In fact, he actually likes Gotham. He had a good life here. He survived by keeping out of sight and stealing anything he needed or wanted. of course, he didn't do this alone. he had a decent partner. He walked back into his living room to see a tall woman in a skin-tight black leather suit that hugged her curves nicely with long black hair. Sitting on his couch.

"There's my favorite little Fox~," she said with a smirk. He smiled at her wiping the sweat off his neck and shoulders.

"What's up Selina." he took a swig of his water bottle. "we gotta new job?"

"Can't a girl visit her favorite partner just because?" she unzipped her suit a bit revealing her cleavage and reached in pulling out a small folder. "That doesn't mean we don't have a job."

He sat down next to her and looked at the file.

"Hmm, so the client wants us to steal some rare books from the museum her before zatarra of the justice League collects them."

"Yup. And it's going to pay wonderfully."

"How much?"

"8 million for each book." she said zipping up her suit. "you in? There's a chance we'll run into Batty and Birdy."

He thought about for a second and grinned. "a chance to troll boy wonder? Count me in."
