Prologue:
In a dimly lit room, a blond-haired boy stands in front of a council of nine men seated at a large table. The solemn expression on the boy's face was not mirrored by the the supposedly dignified men staring at him. Some of the bastards even looked overjoyed. A young woman sat at the end of the table with a look that said "I'm sorry." A man with pure white eyes at the end of the table stood up and addressed the young man standing before them.
"Naruto Uzumaki. Because of the events that took place during the mission to retrieve Sasake Uchiha, you are hereby banished from the Village Hidden in the Leaves. You have 48 hours to pack your bags and speak your peace." The man know as Hiashi Hyuuga sat back down. It was all he could do to keep from grinning from ear to ear as he watched the kuubi brat wince at the cold words. The village was finally going to be rid of the threat forever.
Tsunade was impressed by Naruto's self-control. She knew it took all he had to not rip the council a new one. It took all her self-control too. She watched Naruto silently walk out without a word but his expression said it all. Anger and hate. Something he felt all his life. This time the bastards on the council had went too far. Instead of killing him, they killed his dream. Her fist clenched as she felt the need to break something. Tsunade gave the council one last cold stare for good measure and left to go to her office. She needed a drink.

47 hours later...
The original rookie nine appeared at the gate except for Chouji , who was still in intensive care because of the pills he took during the failed mission. Neji came too, bandages and all. They all had been effected by Naruto, each a different way. They were the few that knew that the Village would be losing a great ninja, and not getting rid of a pest. They looked around for Naruto, knowing him, he would make a huge ruckus before he left causing some kind of uproar, but no uproar was to be found. Sakura, teammate of Naruto, walked to the gate and saw an envelope attached to the gate by a shuriken. She pulled it off the gate as the rest of the members surrounded her. Tears welled in her ears as she read it.
Dear Idiots,
I hate goodbyes so I decided to leave before things got emotional. Plus, I wanted to avoid the inevitable parties. Hope you do well. Don't worry about me, I become a better ninja than those bastards will ever be. Some day they will wish they hadn't banished me. When that day comes, I will laugh my ass off at them. Till that day, bye.
Naruto
Anger started welling up inside them as a firecracker exploded above their heads. They looked at each other and each knew what the other was thinking. They vanished quickly into the night. Let's just say, the "Demon's Gone" parties didn't go so well that night.

Two days later...
"Tsunade-sama please, I would like to enroll my son into the ninja academy." a young woman bowed to the old but young-looking Hokage sitting behind a extremely battered desk. The Hokage looked the young woman over. She did not look like a shinobi or even a shinobi's wife.
"What clan are you from? Why come to me? Registration is at the academy." Tsunade figured she wasn't from a very noble clan or she would have been able to register without coming to her.
"I am of the clan of Seika. My mother and father died many years ago. My son's father left my and I have not seen him since. I have raised him alone until now. He is very talented at hunting and fishing. I wish him to have a better life than I can give him. Will you take him, please Tsunade-sama?" The young woman pleaded with the Hokage. Tsunade was always a sucker for sob stories like that.
"It will be a hard life but if it is your wish, we will take him. Genki, take her to registration and make sure Iruka's assistant enrolls him this time." The assistant did as he was told and when they left, the Hokage told Shizune to cancel the rest of her appointments. After that, the slightly drunk Hokage fell asleep on the couch in her office.

Short but this is the prologue. First Naruto fic. Please tell me what you think and don't hold back because I'm new. I can take it. This is not going to have Naruto as a leading character. He may make an entrance much later in the story but this is the last you see him for a long time. Next chapter, I will introduce the hopeful newbie in the ninja word and all the trouble he will get into. This was originally called burning eyes but after I changed what I wanted to do, the title no longer fit. So, say hello to to Fanged Eye!
