'Banished' was the one word that kept repeating in his mind as he tried to take in what they were saying. He didn't understand what had gone wrong, He had done what they wanted and brought him back. Sure Sasuke was a little black and blue with a few cuts here and there but he was alive and back in the village.
"Why I don't understand I did what you wanted. He's back and alive." Naruto said with a shake of the head. "Why am I being banished for bringing him home?"
"We are thankful for that, but you are just to dangerous to keep around. We voted on it and you have until tomorrow to be out of the village." Koharu said with a frown on her face.
He looked to Tsunade to see if she was going to say anything only to see the look on her face and know that she had nothing to do with this. She looked ready to kill them for this. Naruto knew that they had made sure there was no loopholes when they decide on this her hands were tied.
"Fine," Naruto whispered blinking back tears. He wouldn't cry not now he would not give them the satisfaction. Naruto put his headband on the table and walked to the door. He stopped just before the door and said, "I have given everything to this village. I tried to protect it when all it did was blame me for something I had no control over. You want me gone FINE," Naruto yelled. "I will never forget this."
As he walked through the door he could hear Tsunade call his name with tears running down her face as she whispered sorry over and over. Naruto gave her a small smile and kept walking. Naruto made a short stop at his apartment to grab a few necessities like his picture of team seven, some clothes and to have one last look before he left.
"I will never forgive you for what you have done to that boy." Tsunade hissed through clenched teeth, anger evident on her face. "Naruto was as much of a danger to this village as any other ninja of ours."
She looked around at the rest of the people to see a few with the same expression of disbelief and anger that she had that the council would go so far. "The only reason I am even staying as Hokage is because Naruto loved this village with his whole heart and didn't want to see it destroyed." Tsunade calmly said while looking like she would gladly murder them all. "If he were to come and destroy this village I would not stop him, he has more right than anyone to decide what happens to this village." Lady Tsunade then walked out of the room leaving a stunned council behind.
When Naruto got to the village gates he spared one last look over the village before he left. Tears came fast as Naruto walked away from the one place he had called home. He didn't know where he was going to go so Naruto picked a random direction and started walking. A few hours later it was staring to get dark and Naruto had still not come across a village. "Kit… KIT!" Kyuubi yelled.
"What?" He jumped startled, not having heard from Kyuubi since the battle with Sasuke.
"You need to stop for the night. Set up the tent and after you have a good nights rest we will think about where to go." Kyuubi said affection lacing his voice. Kyuubi and Naruto had been close since Naruto found out about him when he was four after a particularly brutal mob beating. He had become the father figure Naruto never had.
Naruto had set up the tent and started a small fire before the reality had finally set in that he could never go back to Konoha again. Never smile and goof around with his precious people, never play ninja with Konohamaru, or annoy Tsunade by calling her granny. Naruto curled up in a ball with tears streaming down his face as he wished to wake up and have this all be just another nightmare. "SHH, sleep Naruto, I'll keep watch over you." Kuubi whispered soothingly. Just as Naruto was falling asleep Kuubi whispered, "you will be fine kit I will make sure of it."
Sasuke had been sitting in the hospital bed waiting for when he would be released wondering where the dobe was. Sakura, Kakashi and a whole bunch of other people had already been to visit and yet the person who had given everything to bring him back was nowhere in site. As Sasuke was thinking Sakura and Ino came rushing into the room screeching at the top of their lungs about how Sasuke was theirs.
"Where's Naruto?" Sasuke asked.
"Why should we know where that baka is, he's probably at the ramen stand or something." Sakura said while muttering under her breath " he should be getting punished for hurting my Sasuke." Ino nodded agreeing with her.
Sasuke glared at them "what the hell is wrong with you? He brought me back and was injured just about killed and all you can say is that he should be punished. GET THE HELL OUT OF MY ROOM!" Sasuke yelled.
"But Sasuke… I just…" Sakura stuttered.
"GET OUT!" Sasuke roared, his glare turning to ice. Sakura and Ino scrambled out of the room while thinking he was just mad that he was still in the hospital and that they would come back tomorrow. Tsunade walked in the door that the two girls had just fled from with a glare on her face when she looked at the Uchiha.
While Tsunade was checking his stats Sasuke asked, "where is Naruto? Is he okay? I know he was injured fighting me."
Tsunade glared at him "No he is not fine. It's thanks to you that he will never be fine." Tsunade was shaking by the time she was finished.
"What do you mean? Sasuke asked while thinking 'I know he was injured but it can't have been that bad. Could it?' worry showing on his face.
"He was banished. Because of you and your stupidity he was banished." Screamed Tsunade.
"What… why?" Sasuke looked confused.
"The council thought he had become to dangerous after looking at your injuries. If you hadn't defected none of this would have happened. I hope you're happy." Tsunade said sarcastically.
"But why it was me that was trying to kill him not the other way. It should be me that was punished." Sasuke said dejectedly.
Tsunade scoffed " Ha, that would never happen to their precious Uchiha. Don't worry you will be punished I will make sure of it." Tsunade said. "Come to the Hokage tower after your release and I will tell you what your punishment is then." Tsunade turned to leave.
"Yes Hokage-sama." Sasuke said.
Naruto woke to sunshine and birds singing. Standing up he started to pack his stuff and get ready to leave. After he was finished Naruto grabbed a ration bar and started to eat. "Hey, fur ball where are we going to go?'
"We could go to Nami no Kuni (land of waves) or Suna, or someplace like Bird Country." Kyuubi answered.
"Lets go to Nami no Kuni. We can see Tazunaa, Tsunami, and Inari again." Naruto said. Standing up and stretching Naruto started walking. Lucky for him he had been headed in that direction to begin with so he was only a few hours away from Nami no Kuni. Naruto and Kyuubi talked off and on for the next four hours with Naruto taking an hour break in between to grab something to eat.
As the bridge came into view it brought back memories of a time when he and his team got along. Okay so there teamwork wasn't the best but it still felt like a family to Naruto. Naruto smiled the first smile since he left Konoha when he saw the bridges name 'THE GREAT NARUTO BRIDGE.' The best sight he had seen so far was the village. It had change from being so poverty ridden that almost everywhere you looked there was someone begging on the streets. It now had children running around playing and people talking and chatting in the streets while they shopped.
Naruto reached Tazunas house around suppertime. Just as he was about to knock a boy who was around a head shorter rushed out the door knocking into him. "Oomph," Naruto said as he fell to the ground with the boy on top of him.
'Who the… Oh hey Naruto, what are you doing here?" Inari asked as he saw whom it was.
"Nothing much, hey is your mom or grandpa around?" Naruto looked around.
"Moms in the house and grandpa is in town" Inari looked at Naruto happy to see him after not hearing from him for over a year.
"Cool, well you seemed busy so I'll just go say hi to your mom" Naruto said with a smile.
Inari looked surprised for a second before he remembered that he was suppose to be meeting his friends in town. "Shoot, I got to go I'll talk to you when I get back. You'll still be here right?" Inari said in a rush.
"Ya of course go have fun." Naruto smiled his trademark smile as Inari said bye while running off to make it on time. Naruto knocked on the door and waited for Tsunami to answer.
Tsunami answered the door with a surprised look when she saw who it was, "Naruto?" Tsunami whispered.
Naruto smiled and put his hands behind his head "yup long time no see, how ya been Tsunami san?"
After getting over her surprise she reached over and grabbed him into a hug. "It's so good to see you again. We have all missed you. I have been great how about you?"
"Hehe, see that's sort of what I wanted to talk to you about." Naruto said after she had let him go, while looking down. "I was kind of banished and was wondering if I could stay for awhile just till I find some place to go?" He said in a rush.
"Oh… Naruto," Tsunami had tears in her eyes. "Of course you can. You can stay as long as you want. Come inside and tell me what happened." Tsunami grabbed his hand and pulled him to the kitchen where she sat him down, and went to get him something to light to eat and drink before he told her what happened. Once she was seated he began to talk.
"It all started to go wrong during the chunin exams." Naruto began "the first was a written exam which I was no good at but I still passed. The second exam was to take place during the forest of death. Each team was given a scroll; it was either heaven or earth. The object was to get one of each scroll and make your way to the tower with in the five days we were given. Everything was going fine for the first day until we ran into Orochimaru." Naruto got a far away look in his eye as he continued. "I got separated from Sasuke and Sakura for a while and ran in to a giant snake. When I finally made my way back to them they where already fighting."
Naruto continued to explain what had happened at the rest of the exam. About Sasuke getting the curse mark and the invasion. How the Hokage was killed, running into Akatsuki and going on a training trip with Jiraiya to bring back Tsunade. When he got to the point where Sasuke deserted and they fought Naruto had tears in his eyes.
"It was after we got back and I had got out of the hospital that I was called to the council room." Naruto had silent tears streaming down his face by this point. "I thought that maybe just maybe they would congratulate me for bringing him home and that I would finally be accepted." Tsunami moved around the table to hold him while he finished.
"The council kept saying how I was a monster and should have been put down at birth and that they where being lenient with just banishing me." He looked at Tsunami with eyes filled with self-loath. "Where they right should I be killed? Do I deserve death?" Naruto asked with a pained smile.
Tsunami looked horrified at the thought and held Naruto tighter. "No Never" She whispered fiercely. "It is them who are the monsters for doing this to an innocent child. You are one of the most caring kind and generous people I have met. If they don't want you I will gladly have you stay here." She answered with a smile. "Now lets get you settled into the guest room."
When they reached the guest room Naruto looked to Tsunami "Thanks, I will get out of your hair soon I just need some place to stay till I figure out what I am going to do."
"Hush now, you are free to stay here for as long as you want you are no bother." Tsunami said. "Rest for now I will call you when supper is ready."
