In this story, Minato tells Naruto about a lot of other things and Naruto will also be a lot smarter than he was in canon.
Chapter 1
"You're… joking, right?" said Naruto as he heard what the Hokage just said.
"I'm not," replied Tsunade with a shake of her head. "I was said that you were the one who tried to assassinate the Raikage. Not only that, but you are also accused of killing Jonins from Kumogakure and Iwagakure, and there are even wanted posters of you from Kirigakure." With each word, Naruto's confusion rose and his heart dropped. "Therefore, until the investigation is complete, you will be sent to Hozuki Castle in Kusagakure for detainment."
"Wait, there's no way I could've done all that! I haven't even left the village in a long time!" Naruto tried to argue but he was only met with a hard stare from Tsunade and disapproving gazes from Kakashi, Sakura, and Yamato, and a sad one form Shizune. "W-Why…" he choked out, trying to hold back tears, and sunk to his knees.
"I'm sorry, Naruto," said Tsunade with a hard voice. "It'd be best for you to not resist and silently obey Yamato."
Naruto laughed. It wasn't the usual one, full of joy and happiness. No, this was a sad, self-deprecating one with malice dripping of each rumble that floated around the room. So… thought Naruto ruefully, I guess this is what betrayal feels like.
"Sixteen years…" he began, gaining confused looks from everyone. He stood up again and continued, "Sixteen years ago, the Kyuubi was sealed inside me without my consent. It was to keep the village safe; I understood and accepted it. For four years after that, I was put into an orphanage by the Sandaime. He knew the villagers hated me… that they blamed me for what the Kyuubi did. Yet he put me under their care. I was barely fed properly, given old clothes, and sometimes outright ignored by the caretakers. When I was four, I was literally kicked out of that shithole and left all alone on the streets to fend for myself."
By now, Sakura was gaping. She had no idea Naruto's life had been so hard… on top of that, she had mistreated him at almost every chance she had gotten when they were younger. The pinkette looked down feeling ashamed of her self.
Tsunade and Shizune had a sad look in their eyes. They knew somewhat of how Naruto was treated. In fact, Tsunade had found it surprising that Naruto had still wanted to become Hokage even after all the abuse from the villagers.
Kakashi looked down. He was an ANBU at the time and told himself that he never had time to care for his sensei's son but everyone, including him, knew that was merely bullshit.
"I understand that the Sandaime was busy, but literally all I had asked for was that I get a good place to call home. Instead, all I got was that sorry excuse of an apartment. Even in the Academy… all the teachers stunted my growth. I never fucking understood why. What had I done!? What was my fault!? I was sent out for asking questions, given rigged tests, made to use imperfect and imbalanced kunai and shuriken. And still, I managed to get a passing mark. After that, I get betrayed and get told by a fucking traitor of my burden," Naruto's hands were clenched so hard that his knuckles were almost turning white. "Then, I get put on a team with a so-called 'prodigy' with a superiority complex and a fangirl who doesn't know the first thing of the ninja life."
Sakura's head jerked up. She looked at Naruto like he had just slapped her.
"Sasuke-fucking-Uchiha… The last 'loyal' Uchiha. The one I considered my friend and my rival… the one who slammed two Chidori in my chest." Naruto looked at Sakura. "Did you know that, Sakura? Did you know that your oh-so-precious Uchiha was the one who willingly tried to kill me?"
"I-I…" Sakura stammered, not knowing what to say.
"Yeah, that's right. The curse mark didn't control him… He attempted to murder me in cold blood willingly. Which brings me to my next point. Our beloved cyclops. The copy-ninja. The one and only, Kakashi Hatake," Naruto openly glared at Kakashi. "The man who preaches to take care of your comrades and then openly, blatantly plays favourites with his students. The man who abandoned his own sensei's son."
Again, everyone's eyes widened.
"Huh?" Said Sakura, trying to process the information.
"Oh right, you guys don't know, do you? My father was the Yondaime Hokage. Minato Namikaze."
Sakura, Yamato, and Shizune couldn't believe it. The son of their hero… was treated like a pariah.
"Then came Jiraiya… my godfather. Also, the one who didn't teach me jack shit. I've so much to say about him it would take me a whole year to finish. Finally, when the Akatsuki attacked, I saved this village. I risked my life and defeated the enemy. Hell, I even went so far as to get Nagato to bring everyone back to life… And stil,l after all that, all I am to you guys is the Kyuubi brat who can't be trusted no matter what…"
"Naruto, that isn-," Tsunade tried to say but was abruptly cut off.
"You guys know what that spiral on the back of the flak jacket and the one in the leaf symbol means? No? Well education time, ya little shits. It symbolizes the alliance that the Leaf had with the Uzumaki. That when any of them were in trouble, they come to each others' rescue. You know what happened when they were attacked in the Second War? They were betrayed by the Leaf. Those who break the rules are trash but those who abandon their comrades… Wanna finish that sentence, sensei?" Naruto asked Kakashi to which he didn't receive a reply. Naruto chuckled, "That's what I thought. I thought, 'it's okay. Let's forgive and forget'… but it seems that treachery is a core part of the Leaf, huh?"
"Naruto… you're bordering on treason now," Tsunade said warily.
"Fuck you, Hokage-sama," Tsunade felt a pang in her heart. "Fuck the Leaf. Fuck the will of fire." Naruto said and turned around to walk out of the office.
"Naruto," called out Tsunade. "You can't leave!" she started to get up to halt him but before anyone could react, Naruto slammed his hand on the floor and an intricate seal array spread all across the room. Everyone found themselves unable to move and their chakra flow stilled, almost to the point where it wasn't moving. This way, Tsunade couldn't even release her yin seal to overpower the seal.
"May the leaf burn… and it's ashes be scattered to the wind," Naruto said as he slid off his headband and threw it on the floor and left.
Probably going to be a short story... or not. Idk, really. This was just an idea I wanted to put down on paper. If you want to adopt it, PM me.
