The story begins after the Sasuke retrieval
Hatake Kakashi was caring two boys in critical condition heading towards a large village called Konoha.
One of the boys had blonde hair and the other black. The blonde hair boy's wounds were slowly healing if you examined them carefully and he slowly began to stir.
When Kakashi reached Konoha, they were met by Haruno Sakura.
She rushed up to Kakashi, "Sasuke-kun, where is he?"
"He is here, although he is in critical condition"
"Who did this to him?"
"Naruto, but"
"NARUTO did this, I'll kill him" Sakura picked up Naruto in her left hand and punched him in the face with her right. It definitely didn't help Naruto that she inherited Tsunade's power.
By this time, Naruto was already awake for Sakura to hit him, and it broke his heart seeing Sakura hit him, and also the fact that he tried his very best to find Sasuke and bring him back, but this is how he was treated.
"Sakura-chan…why" Naruto mumbled weakly as he started to lose conscience.
"Sakura, that's enough" yelled Kakashi. "Sasuke betrayed the village, and Naruto had to bring him back. Without Naruto, Sasuke would not be here."
"No… That can't be true. Sasuke-kun wouldn't do this…" Sakura whispered to herself. Sakura ran off into the distance crying to herself.
"Well, now I have to get these two to Tsunade, man, why couldn't Sakura help" complained Kakashi.
Two hours Later
"Tsunade-sama," cried Shizune making the blonde Hokage turn around, "Neji is still in critical condition, but he is improving and should be stable in another hour, Chouji is stable and we have purged the pills out of his system, Shikimaru is perfectly fine, Naruto should be fine in a day or two thanks to his healing, and Sasuke is still in critical but should recover soon."
"Okay, that's good," Tsunade said nodding her head, "But the Council wants vengeance from Naruto injuring Sasuke, and there is not much I can do against them"
"Naruto-kun" whispered Shizune (this is not going to be Naru/Shizune, just think of it as a brother/sister relationship)
"We will just have to hope for the best, and I know I can at least protect him until he wakes up. I want you to assign you and Kakashi to guard Naruto until he wakes up. Make sure no one gets in until I say so."
"Hai, I will protect him as best as I can"
Naruto wakes up a day later and with all his wounds healed. He still can't help but think of what Sakura did to him the day before.
"Ah, Naruto-kun you are awake," said Shizune as she looked up from the book she was reading.
"Naruto," yelled Tsunade as she burst into the room and catching Naruto in a big hug.
Naruto's face started to turn red, then blue, then purple as he was still in a death hug.
"Tsunade-sama, you're suffocating him" said Shizune on the side starting to pry Tsunade off of Naruto.
"Sorry, I just got excited," said Tsunade sheepishly. "Look Naruto, the council wants to meet you and I am afraid it is not good news. Jiraiya, Shizune, and I will be there to protect you, but I just can't shake off that they have something planned"
"It's all right obaa-chan, I'll be fine"
"I hope so"
Later at in the Council Room
"Naruto, you are hereby exiled from Konoha and stripped of your rank as a ninja"
"WHAT, you can't do that, I am the Hokage you must consult with me first"
"Everyone agreed to this decision, and when it is unanimous, we can overrule the Hokage" replied a council member.
"You can't do that"
"No, obaa-chan, it's okay, I will leave" said Naruto sadly.
All the council members had a grin on their face.
"But, all of you in the Council beware, for I shall return in seven years time to take your life" said Naruto venomously while letting a bit of Kyuubi's chakra flow out of his tenketsus. "Enjoy your life for now."
After saying this, Naruto walked out of the room and was never seen again for seven years.
