Flashback
"Naru Uzumaki, the Council has decided that for your actions in attacking Sasuke Uchiha you are to be banished from Konoha. You are to leave within three days or be executed." Said Danzo Shimura. As the Council stared at her and Tsunade simply lowered her head refusing to look at her, Naru glared at them with hate.
"You bastards! You're banishing me for attacking the Uchiha?! Never mind the fact he abandoned the village and was planning to join Orochimaru or the fact he shoved a Chidori through my chest in an attempt to kill me!" Naru Yelled at them.
"It has been decided that the curse seal given by Orochimaru was responsible for Sasuke Uchiha's erratic behavior. As such, it has been decided he will not be punished." Said Koharu Ututane.
"So he betrays the village and gets off scott free!? Fine. If you all want to suck the Uchiha's little prick that much go right ahead!" she paused,slamming her fist into the desk,continuing, "But when your actions finally catch up to you,don't come to me for help." She said before taking the headband from around her neck,throwing it on the table and leaving the room.
As she reached the exit she saw Kakashi and Sakura both standing in front of the door. Kakashi had his normal bored look on his face but Sakura was glaring at her with hate. As she got near them,Sakura began stalking toward her and started to yell.
"Naru-Baka! How dare you hurt Sasuke-kun! You're just a worthless- URK" she screeched as she tried to punch Naru in the head, only for Naru to side step and bury her fist in Sakura's stomach.
"I'm sick and tired of you trying to hit me fangirl! As for your precious Uchiha, he tried to kill me and my only regret is I didn't finish him when I had a chance." Naru growled at the girl before removing her fist and stepping past her as she landed on her hands and knees and started throwing up.
"Now,now Naru apologize to your team mate, after all, you're going to have to work together when Sasuke gets out of the hospital." Kakashi lectured while reading his book.
"Wow Hatake, you really are that stupid aren't you?" Naru said surprising Kakashi who looked up from his book. "I've just been banished by council of Uchiha cock suckers, so our 'team' is done. Not that we were ever much of a team to begin with given the fact Sakura never trains, the Uchiha's only interested in power, and you're playing favorites. You're a failure as a Sensei, and hypocrite to boot. Go back to ignoring me as you always have, I have better things to do than pander to your illusions."
As Naru pushed past him and exited the building Kakashi stood there in shock, his book laying on the ground forgotten.
The first thing she did was head for her apartment to grab the few things of worth she owned. After sealing them up,she headed to Ichiraku to talk to Teuchi and Ayame before leaving. Before she left her apartment,she made sure to leave a surprise to the next idiot who tried to break in.
"Teuchi, Ayame are you guys busy?" Naru asked,entering the small shop Ichiraku's ramen. It had originally been a small shop but Naru had seen how hard of a time they were having just to make ends meet and decided to send a letter to Koyuki in spring country asking for help for the Icharuka family. Koyuki was happy to help and sent several construction crews and enough money to live a comfortable life. When later asked why she had done so,her answer was that no one who Naru considered family was going to suffer while she still lived.
"We're in the back Naru." Ayame called from the kitchen. Walking past the few costumers scattered around room, Naru headed for the kitchen. Pushing aside the purple curtain she saw Ayame was washing dishes while her father was busy at the stove making a large batch of ramen, having gotten started as soon as he had heard Naru's voice.
"Hey Naru, I'll have a big batch of ramen for you in just a moment." Teuchi said without turning around. Looking at the father daughter duo,Naru couldn't help but smile, they were the closest thing she had to a family and the thought of leaving finally broke the control she was using not to cry.
Ayame had just finished washing the dishes and turned around just in time to see Naru start to tear up. She was momentarily stunned, Naru hadn't cried since she was six and it took only a second for her brain to reboot. She hurried across the room tapping her father on the shoulder as passed, and holding Naru close. This proved to be the straw that broke the camels back and her crying turned into heart wrenching sobs, Ayame could do little but hold her as she broke down. After she had finished crying she told them about the mission and the council's decision. When she was done explaining,Naru told them about her plane to head for wave and stay with Tazuna and his family for a short while before deciding what to do next. She hugged them both before leaving and asked them to watch over Konohamaru and his friends for her. After she left she headed to wave and spent the night with Tazuna and his family before deciding what to do next. It was Tazuna who mentioned the exploration vessel, and explained how the ship was going to sail past the vale that surrounded the Elemental nations in search of a new home for civilians to live without having to worry about the Ninja's and their wars.
Flashback End
As she gazed at the moon,she heard rumbling in the distance. Deciding to get a closer look, she climbed up into the crows nest where she found a sailor sleeping. Resolving to tell the captain about him later,she looked to where she had heard the rumbling coming from. At first it looked like she had imagined it, until she saw a flash of blue streak across the sky. Seeing as the ship was heading directly for the storm she grabbed the bell and began ringing it as loudly as she could.
By the time the Crew had reached the deck the storm had already hit and they were fighting to keep the ship afloat. Naru was helping with the sails when the ship was hit by a large wave,capsizing it. As Naru tried to get her barrings, she could see some of the men swimming to the surface, while others were trapped by some ropes from the ship and were being dragged down into the dark waters.
Making a snap second decision she began swimming down toward the sinking ship to save as many men as she could. After cutting the ones she could see free with the knive she kept in her right boot, Naru began swimming to the surface. As her head broke the surface,she gasped for breath. Naru looked around frantically and saw the men climibing into a Large row boat that had fallen of the ships when it capsized. After climbing into the boat, her and the surviving crew members decided that they would sleep in shifts and row towards the North East, the direction the ship had been headed in.
They rowed for three days and nights, and it was Naru's turn to rest. Suddenly She was awoken by one of the men yelling. "LAND AHEAD!" He shouted excitedly while pointing in front of them. At his shout everyone grabbed an oar and began rowing with renewed vigor towards the shore. As they reached the shore one man jumped out of the boat and began kissing the sand, only to start spitting it out of his mouth afterward, making everyone laugh.
The survivors decided to take the row boat with them as they moved inland, to use as cover in case of rain or snow. As they moved inland it was discovered that while the men were expert sailors and several liked to fish during their free time, they didn't know how to hunt or survive in the wilderness, so it fell on Naru to hunt and lead the group in staying alive.
Her training as a Kunoichi included how to hunt and survival of the land, an important skill when in enemy territory.
After several days the group arrived at what looked like an abandoned town, the buildings were falling apart and were overgrown with grass and weeds. The crew decided to split up and see if they could find anything of use. As Naru entered one of the houses, she saw that there were still some picture frames on the walls. Heading into the first doorway on her right Naru walked into what looked like a child's bedroom. The room had a bed on the far right corner,under the window. As she looked around she spotted a closed door to her left. When she moved toward it to check inside she could hear some of the men yelling about finding a wine cellar that was still full.
The survivors had finished checking the town and had gathered in the building that was in the best condition and started to tally everything they had found. After they had tallied everything and stored them in the packs found in one of the buildings, they decided to get some sleep.
It was late at night when Naru woke, sitting up and looking around she could see the fire had gotten low. As she got up to grab some more fire wood to add to the fire she suddenly got the feeling she was being watched. Unable to shake the feeling she quickly grabbed her Sealing scroll and Unsealed her Kunai poach, tying the poach to her right leg she looked around to see if she could spot anything out of the ordinary. After a few minutes of just starring out the door and not seeing anything, Naru headed for the Basement where they had found a storage room full of old wooden chairs that they were breaking and using for fire wood.
Basement
'Let it never be said that breaking things doesn't make you feel like smilling.' Naru thought to herself with a smile as she threw another chair against the wall. Bending down to grab the pieces she was startled by screams. 'What the hell!' her mind raced wondering what was happening. Even as she was rushing up the stairs and down the hall towards the others in hopes of being able to save them, the logical part of her mind told her that the chances of her finding survivors were slim.
The screaming had stopped by the time she had reached the top of the stairs and an eerie silence had fallen. Opening the door she was confronted with a massacre, there was blood everywhere and the men were in pieces. Moving further into the room she tried to see if she could find any clues that would tell her what had happened and who it was that attacked them. Kneeling next to one of the few bodies that was relatively intact she could see that whatever blade was used had been either heated or electrified due to the scorch marks along the wound. As she was inspecting the body she couldn't see the slight distortion in the air moving towards her, it was only her instincts that saved her by allowing her to dodge the blade aimed for her heart.
Dodging to the left, she turned to get her first look at the attacker. The first thing she noticed was that it had four arms instead of two, the next thing she noticed was that it had four eyes, two on each side of it's head. It was the size of a full grown man and was unlike anything she had seen before. Suddenly it charged forward with its Arc blade coming down towards her head. Dodging to the right Naru threw two Kunai at the thing, only for the Kunai to bounce off the armor without leaving so much as a scratch.
The thing leaped at her again trying to finish her off before she could catch her balance. Drawing another kunai she tried to block the sword only for it to cut through the kunai like butter and continue on until it buried itself in her chest just below her heart. Determined to at least take her killer with her Naru stabbed the monster in one of its eyes with the broken kunai, the monster howled in pain yanking the blade out and retreating back into the darkness.
Sliding down the wall Naru was able to look out the broken window and watch the sun rise. 'Beautiful' Naru thought as her eyes closed before dying with a small smile.
Konoha "What do you mean she's gone?" Tsunade said glaring at Jiraiya from across her desk.
Jiraiya fidgeted from the glare he was getting. When Naru had been banished Tsunade had ordered him to find her and to train her until she could get the banishment problem was the when Jaraiya had left Tsunade's Office he had decided to head for the hot springs for his research as he called it, believing Naru would want to stay in the leaf for as long as she could before having to leave.
When the day came for her to leave he was waiting at the gate for her, only she never showed up. By the time he figured out what had happened she had already boarded the ship and left, and for some reason the toads were unable reverse summon her. Having no other choice he returned to Tsunade to report the news which lead to his current predicament, explaining to Tsunade that the girl she saw as her little sister was gone without her killing him.
"I mean she's not in the elemental countries anymore, she boarded an exploration ship and left. I tried asking the toads to reverse summon her but all their attempts failed." Jiraiya said hoping she wouldn't ask why he wasn't watching Naru like she had told him to.
"And just how did she manage to leave the elemental nations when you were supposed to be training her?" Tsuande said glaring at him. "Wait, let me guess you decided to go peep on the hot springs rather than watch over Naru liked I asked didn't you?" She said glaring even harder at the white haired man, his guilty look was all the answer she needed. "God damn it Jiraiya what the hell is your problem! Does the fact you're her Godfather not matter to you? Is your perversion so important that you would ignore your god daughter in favor of it?" she yelled at him before slamming her fist into her desk shattering it into pieces and making Jiraiya flinch fear.
"It's not my fault Tsunade-hime. I thought she would want to stay in the village as long as possible like Minato would have, I didn't expect her to leave on the very first day and there is no way for me to have guessed she would be willing to actually leave the elemental nations as a whole." Jiraiya exclaimed in an attempt to stop Tsunade from sending him to the hospital. At Tsunade's glare he knew he had said the wrong thing and was about to be sent to the intensive care ward when they were interrupted by a small toad poofing into existence. Startled by the sound Tsunade and Jiraiya,both looked to see which toad had summoned its self. After the smoke had cleared away there was an old toad with white hair in small Mohawk and wearing a grey cloak.
"Pa what are you doing here?" asked Jiraiya recognizing the toad who trained him in the Sage Arts.
"I'm afraid I've come with bad news Jiraiya-boy." The now identified Pa said somberly. Jiraiya immediately had a sinking feeling in his stomach and prayed to what ever deity would listen that his decision to go peeking hadn't gotten his goddaughter killed. "Naru's name has disappeared from the scroll." Pa said with his head bowed. Jiraiya felt like he'd just been punched in the gut and had to lean on Tsunade's desk to stay standing.
Tsunade seeing Jiraiya's reaction to what the toad had said,subconsciously knowing what it meant,but her conscious refused to accept what her subconscious was telling her. "What does that mean exactly Jiraiya?" Tsunade asked dreading the answer. At first neither one wanted to answer her question and stayed silent, Tsunade asked again. "What does it mean Jiraiya?"
It took a moment for Jiraiya to compose himself before he could answer Tsunade's question.
"The only time a summoners name disappears from the scroll is either they've been removed from the scroll intentionally or they have died." Jiraiya answered in a monotone voice.
Tsunade collapsed into her chair in shock before his words finally hit home and she broke down.
5 Years later, Old Russia ruins
A white orb was flying around scanning some old abandoned houses when it came across a large building.
"Strange, it looks like there was a battle here recently but who could the fallen have been fighting way out here I wonder. There hasn't been any reports of any Guardians this far out recently." It said to its self upon seeing the scorch marks from the Fallens weapons. Flying inside, it found the bodies of several men but after scanning them, it found them too damaged to revive and turn into Guardians, moving further into the room he saw a young woman laying against the wall with the suns rays shining threw the broken window onto her form as if saying he had found the one.
Scanning the girl he found the remnants of a strange aura that seemed keeping her body in a state of suspended animation. "Hmm her body seems to be in perfect condition except for her heart being pierced. Easily fixable, and I get the feeling she would make a wonderful Guardian. I do wonder where her stange energy is coming from though." It said to its self while using a blue and white beam to heal the girls heart and creating a connection between its self and the girl to turn her into the newest Guardian of the City.
"Time to wake up Guardian."

Author's note
Well that's the first Chapter down. First I wanna apologize to everyone for taking so long to get this posted but I've always been more into reading than writing and only really write when I can really focus on it and not make a substandard (at least to me anyway) story. Anyway please leave a review and tell me what you think and if you have any advice I'm always open to improvement. This is banko54 singing off.
