Many villagers and ninja were waiting around the main gate of konoha. Tsunade was there as was sakura, shino, Ino, ten ten, Gai, Kakashi, kurenai, Asuma, and some of the council. The original Ino-Shiko-Cho team was there, as well as Iruka and the Ichiraku man. They were all waiting for the rescue team to return and bring them their Uchiha back.

"There they are!!!" shouted a guard.

Everyone turned their attention to the path outside the gate. A couple figure s came into view but you could not tell who it was yet.

I hope its sasuke Sakura thought to herself.

When the figures arrived it was Gaara and his siblings. Gaara had sand floating behind him carrying kiba and Akamaru on one, Chougi on another, Lee fully enclosed in one and neji was on the last. Shikamaru was draped over temari's shoulder.

"Who is in the worst shape?" Tsunade said in a voice that let everyone know she was Hokage and she was in charge.

Gaara replied in a flat voice. "They all are suffering chakra depletion. Neji has a large wound in his left shoulder and multiples others. Chougi has severe chakra depletion.

And Kiba has many wounds, he is in the best shape of them but they all need treatment."

Gai stepped forward. "What about Lee how bad are his wounds?

"Lee is fine, he was just drunk"

"WHAT, who gave him alcohol??"

Tsunade smashed him over the head effectively shutting him up.

Shikamaru lifted his head. "Chouza, Chougi took all three pills."

The Ino-Shiko-Cho team all dashed forward. They knew what that meant and the dangers with it.

"Quick give him this" as Shikaku pulled a pill from his pouch. The pill was given to Chougi and he swallowed with the help of Inoichi relaxing his throat muscles.

"He will be fine now he just needs some rest, besides he's already up." Shikaku said with a smile as Chougi opened his eyes to see his father and his team.

Tsunade and the others began working on the rest of them.

Shikamaru had been set on the ground and Temari was helping him sit. Kankuro had sat on the other side of Gaara as he was still standing with his arms crossed.

"But where is sasuke, you guys were supposed to get him, what happened to him!?!?" Sakura screamed. The villagers also began to murmur about their Uchiha. The older ninja were more concerned about Naruto though.

"Well what happened, you guys failed didn't you!" Sakura was now furious.

Sand quickly surrounded Sakura and before anyone could react sakura was covered to her head with sand.

"If you do not silence yourself I will do it for you." Gaara replied

"Besides, Naruto went after him" Kankuro said while fixing one of his puppets.

"Yea right, like Naruto could beat sasuke" sakura said.

Kakashi just slapped his forehead. And the others sighed

Sakura was about to continue when she felt the sand around her tighten o where it began to hurt. "I was not kidding, whether we be allies or not, I owe Naruto more than this whole village." Gaara replied still looking towards the path.

1 hour later

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Neji was now stabilized with help from Tsunade and shizune, Lee was on Gai's shoulders smiling. Chougi was next to Shikamaru talking and Kiba was being tended to by hinata and shino was talking with him. The rest of the ninja were still waiting and the villagers were confident about their Uchiha returning.

"I see something coming!" shouted the guard again.

This time it was Naruto with sasuke knocked out and in terrible shape over his shoulder with tightly bound ropes. Naruto was just as bruised and injured.

"I knew he could do it, he is after all the most surprising ninja of Konoha." Whispered some jounin.

The villagers were disgusted

Naruto dropped sasuke on the ground "Here you are Sakura-chan, just like I promised" Naruto was too tired to even scratch the back of his head so he just stood there with his arms at his side.

"NARUTO QUICKLY" "have some ramen" as Tuechi gave him a large bowl that was still hot. Naruto began to eat the bowl.

"WHAT Naruto look what you did to him, he's almost dead you could of killed him what were you thinking." Sakura was screaming. She suddenly knocked the bowl out of his hands and punched him straight in the face.

Naruto fell to the ground and put his hand to his face. "Why did you do this too him"

"Sakura-cha.. Naruto tried to say but was cut off.

"You probably used that red chakra to beat him, there is no way you are strong enough" as she kicked him.

All of the ninja were pissed now and waiting to see what happened. The villagers were loving it.

Ino approached sakura "Sakura what are you doing?!? He just brought sasuke back after he was captured, and this is how you treat him." Ino yelled.

Ino had lost her love for sasuke and had began to admire Naruto as well as some of the other ninja.

"What are you talking about Ino, I'll bet he didn't do anything and the rest of them did all the work." Sakura said as she moved to kick Naruto again.

Sand exploded from all around and covered sakura lifting her of the ground, as Gaara walked between Naruto and her.

"If you make another move on Uzumaki I will kill you, allies or not"

Sakura let a laugh escape "You are just mad because sasuke beat you just like in the chunnin exams"

"FOR YOUR INFORMATION, this Uchiha was completely useless in his attempt to stop me." Gaara paused and a smirk grew on his face. "Naruto could probably take on this whole village if he had too."

"YOU'RE lieing"

"You just don't want to admit defeat to sasuke" the villagers began to yell towards Gaara.

Gaara once again had his bored look on his face as he continued. "You think I lie, well then let me tell you about it." The ninja were now intently listening.

"He first was able to place a exploding tag where my armor was thinnest where the uchiha could not even touch me."

"Uzumaki created over 2000 shadow clones that beat me to a pulp before I transformed. When I did transform he summoned some frog named 'Gamabunta' that matched me in power."

The ninja were now amazed and held respect for Naruto seeing as only two people have been able to summon the Boss frog. Jiraiya of the legendary sannin and the Yondaime.

"There is more, when I used 100 percent of my power, Uzumaki called on even more strength and transformed not only himself but also Gamabunta into a 9-tailed fox when they could not take hold of me."

The villagers were now scared and some of the older ninja at the mention of the Kyuubi.

"He then beat me with a head butt to the forehead." Gaara replied as he 'dropped' sakura to the ground and looked over at Naruto.

The villagers still thought he was lieing so they needed to expose him somehow. The villagers began to yell at Naruto. Calling him demon and wishing death upon him, but were quickly silenced by Tsunade and the ANBU.

Naruto still had his hand to his face where sakura punched him. The rest of the rookie nine and gai's team were now in front of Naruto except for sasuke and sakura. It was eerily silent.

Naruto stood. His face was now full of anger and fury, but it turned to a smile.

"Then I am leaving."

The villagers cheered and the ninja were confused.

"I can't believe that I go out and capture the Uchiha who left of his own free will and even put a chidori threw my chest "he glanced at Kakashi" and then bring him back and then get screamed at for doing it.!" Naruto said with sarcasm

Everyone was confused

"He left of his own free will to Orochimaru because he thought the leaf was weak."

Naruto laughed

"Well I guess I showed him"

"Well like I said, I am leaving this village, and baa-chan, if you send hu…

"I wont brat, but you better come visit"

Naruto smiled "Well I am off to start my own village"

Everyone was shocked except for Tsunade.

"Anyone want to come?"

"I WILL" screamed Tuechi as he hurriedly rushed with ayame to behind Naruto

"I would lose business if you left, and besides who want to live in a place where they hate someone for just living" as Tuechi glared at the villagers. "Although I am going to need some help getting all my pots and utensils"

'I got it covered" and Naruto created 30 shadow clones to go get all the stuff from ichiraku.

"I will go as well, traditions or not" Neji said as he joined Naruto.

"We are coming" Gaara said flatly as he and his siblings joined Naruto

"Are we gonna be allies with leaf?" Shikamaru asked

"With the ninja yes, villagers maybe" Naruto replied smirking

"I'm in then"

"Me too"

"If they go im coming" Ino said as she glanced at Naruto

Chougi, Ino, and Shikamaru moved too.

"He'll need a lot of help doing what he wants" replied Shikamaru with a lazy tone.

"And of course we'll visit" said Chougi in response to the look their parents were giving him.

"You dare betray the konoha?, you are all gennin and chunnin" said a council member stepping forward.

"They are going whether you like it or not, and if anyone wants to stop them they have to go through me" Tsunade said facing the crowd

Ten-ten, kiba, shino and hinata moved as well.

"We will be in touch father" was all shino said as he moved.

"GAI-sensei, I wish to go along with my friends but do not wish to leave you, what should I do ?"

"Lee you go, be with your friends" Gai screamed "I will come back sensei" Lee said as he and Gai began their 'ritual'

Tsunade walked forward. "Brat you better not get killed, Shikamaru take care of him"

"Troublesome"

"I'll be fine baa-chan" Naruto stepped forward and gave her a huge hug. "I'll see you again, tell the pervy sage too"

They all began walking away from the village as soon as the clones returned carrying all of the ramen equipment and supplies.

Naruto was in the lead with Shikamaru at his side and Chougi and Neji were being carried on stretchers by some clones. Everyone else was in a group behind them just walking along. Ino had moved towards the front and got as close to Naruto as she could before making it obvious.

"So, Naruto where do you plan on going? Or are we starting a village from scratch?" Shikamaru asked

Naruto put on one of his biggest smiles

"Have you ever been to the Land of waves"?
