Chapter 01: Dark Departure
(Konohagakure)
Uzumaki Naruto, the Jinchuuriki of Shinju Kiyomi, the Kyuubi no Yoko Kitsune, and Konoha Genin, was sitting down cross-legged on his bed, dressing his freshly made wounds he received from his recent mission, the Sasuke Retrieval Mission, along with his secret girlfriends that no one knows about.
Naruto, along with Nara Shikamaru, Akimichi Choji, Inuzuka Kiba, and Hyuuga Neji were assigned to get back Uchiha Sasuke, one of the last surviving members of the Uchiha Clan and Naruto's fellow teammate on Team Seven, who decided to go to Orochimaru of the Sannin after he promised him power to kill his brother, Uchiha Itachi, the one who massacred their clan.
Their orders were to retrieve him intact by any means necessary, even by force, if Sasuke resisted and refused to come back.
During the pursuit, the retrieval team split up to deal with Orochimaru's elite shinobi sent from Otogakure to give Sasuke safe passage, the Sound Four: Kidomaru of the East Gate, Jirobo of the South Gate, Sakon and Ukon of the West Gate, and Tayuya of the North Gate. Choji took on Jirobo, Neji took on Kidōmaru, Kiba and his partner Akamaru took on Sakon and Ukon, and Shikamaru took on Tayuya, leaving Naruto in pursuit of Sasuke.
He managed to get to him at first, but was intercepted by another Oto shinobi, Kaguya Kimimaro, who was stronger than the Sound Four combined due to his unique Kekkei Genkai, allowing Sasuke to escape. Naruto managed to hold his own against Kimimaro without using Kiyomi's chakra, and instead used the Raijin no Ken, a sword he acquired in a previous mission from a rogue Konoha shinobi, Aoi Rokusho. Rock Lee then appeared and took Naruto's place, allowing him to go finally catch up to Sasuke.
With Sasuke refusing to listen to reason, being the usual brooding, power-hungry arrogant emo that he is, Naruto dropped his emotional mask of the idiot everyone knew him to be and became his true self that awakened ever since the Forbidden Scroll of Sealing incident, and engaged Sasuke, the Cursed Seal of Heaven given to him by Orochimaru which has been powered up by a pill given to him by the Sound Four, giving him inhuman strength that gave Naruto a hard time.
During the battle, Naruto took two Chidoris to the chest, forcing him to use Kiyomi's chakra for healing purposes only to keep him going, and used the power of Sage Mode he gained during the one month training period for the Chunin Exam Finals, due to the first toad he summoned, Gamabunta, seeing potential in Naruto after he managed to stay on his head; and upon learning that he's the son of his late former favorite summoner, the Yondaime Hokage Namikaze Minato, and his wife, Uzumaki Kushina, the former Kyuubi Jinchuuriki, he took him to Mount Myoboku, without the knowledge of Naruto's sensei during that time, Jiraiya of the Sannin.
With the power of Sage Mode augmented by Kiyomi's chakra that only lasted for five minutes, Naruto managed to subdue Sasuke, defeating him with Senpo: Odama Rasengan, and dragged him back. Along the way, he was surprised to see the Suna Siblings, Gaara, Temari, and Kankurō, who had his injured teammates.
After they walked through the village gates, Leaf shinobi appeared immediately before taking Sasuke, Shikamaru, Neji, Choji, and Kiba and Akamaru away for immediate medical attention. The Suna Siblings were confused as to why they weren't tending to Naruto as well before coming to the horrible conclusion as to why, just as Neji's cousin, Hyuuga Hinata, and their fellow rookie, Yanamaka Ino, appeared and helped Naruto back to his apartment, with the Suna Siblings heading back to their hotel to rest up before going to see the Hokage.
"There, that should do it." Hinata said after Ino finished wrapping Naruto's torso and arms with bandages after applying her special healing salve to them.
"Thanks, Hinata-chan, Ino-chan. As always, you're lifesavers." Naruto said as he put his orange jumpsuit back on that was part of his mask.
Both Naruto and Hinata have been seeing each other in secret ever since Hinata's kidnapping by Kumo. It was Naruto who help saved her by coming across her kidnapper and latching onto him, flaring his chakra that lead Hinata's father to them to kill the Kumo ambassador. Hinata knew it was Naruto because she unknowingly activated her Byakugan and saw him. Ever since, they met in the shadows, her relationship blossoming from childhood friends to boyfriend and girlfriend. She was one of the only people in the village who knew the true Naruto.
Ino on the other hand was a different case. She was a Sasuke fangirl through and through until the Chunin Exams, when she saw Sasuke's true nature manifest in the Forest of Death, and witnessed Naruto's and Gaara's battle during the Invasion. Ever since then, she starting stalking Naruto until she could no longer contain her feelings and showed herself when he and Hinata were alone, declaring her love before outright kissing Naruto, and Hinata too before she could react. It's been an awkward threesome relationship at first, but due to being the last male Uzumaki and Namikaze, he's required by International Shinobi Law to take on multiple wives, fact he learned from the Great Toad Sage back on Mount Myoboku.
There was a knock on the door. Naruto motioned for Hinata and Ino to hide, with them quietly slipping into the bedroom closet. Making sure they were well hidden, Naruto answered the door to see one of the Hokage's ANBU. Unfortunately, it was not his usual ANBU stalker codenamed Neko, but a different one; one of the ones who hates his huts from what Naruto could tell from his Negative Emotions Sensing ability he got from Kiyomi.
"The Hokage demands your presence, brat." The ANBU growled.
"When?" Naruto inquired.
"Now!" the ANBU snarled before going poof.
"Geez." Naruto said, slamming the door as Hinata and Ino came out of hiding.
"What would Tsunade-sama want from you?" Ino wondered.
"Probably a debrief." Naruto guessed, "Can you two get back on your own?"
"With your hidden tunnels? Of course." Hinata replied as Naruto stepped forward and gave her and Ino a kiss.
"I don't need to tell you to be careful," he whispered, stroking their hairs with Hinata moaning uncontrollably.
"Never." Ino said before opening a hidden trapdoor that'll lead to a tunnel with different paths that'll take Hinata near the Hyuuga Compound and Ino near the Yamanaka Compound.
"Now then, time to report in to Tsunade-baachan!"
(Hokage's Office)
"Yo, Tsunade-baachan! I'm- Holy-!" Naruto yelled as he dodged a large paperweight thrown at his head that could've killed him, "What the-?!"
"YOU WENT AGAINST MY ORDERS YOU LITTLE FUCK!" Tsunade yelled as she picked up another paperweight.
"Wait! What?!" Naruto was dumbfounded as his Negative Emotions Sensing ability was going haywire, "What the hell are you talking about, baa-chan?! You authorized for us to bring in Sasuke by any means necessary should he refuse to come back, even by force! The guy wouldn't budge an inch!"
"And you believe that give you an excuse to use Kyuubi's power? Jiraiya told you to hold back from using its chakra in order for the Shinigami Seal to remain as strong as possible!" she exclaimed, throwing another paperweight that Naruto managed to dodge.
"Wait! I only used "its" chakra to heal myself, not empower my jutsu! Had I not, I would've been unable to continue the mission since Sasuke was using that Cursed Seal to kill me, and he would've gotten away- Son of a bitch!" Naruto evaded Tsunade's head-smashing punch and looked at her with shocked eyes, "Baa-chan, what the hell?! Why are you-"
"Until I summon you to face my judgment for your actions against the Uchiha, you will be under house arrest in your apartment. You will be under the watch of the ANBU and if you so much step out of that door just to get your so-called beloved ramen, they will kill you, on the spot!" Tsunade snarled with Naruto looking lost for words.
Sending out a subtle pulse of chakra to check for genjutsu, she found none affecting her, much to his horror. She was just like him, wearing a mask, but only as a wolf in sheep's clothing.
After a moment, he closed his eyes and sighed, shaking his head, "I can't believe it. All this time, you were one of them. You hate me for holding Kyuubi, just like everyone else in this village. So, Hokage-sama, may I ask why you harbor such hatred for me?"
"You dare ask why! Because you tried took Kushina away from me, as well as Minato away from Jiraiya!" Tsunade screamed, trying to punch him again, but Naruto used a Kiwarimi to escape, substituting himself for the stack of worksheets Tsunade had yet to get to, "But soon, you're going to get that you deserve, you monster!"
"I see." Naruto said, dropping his mask as his eyes turned ice-cold, "Never in an eternity did I think you'll be one of them. I mean, you're of the Senju, and the Senju clan are the relatives of the Uzumaki clan. After all I done for you from saving your life from Kabuto to getting over your fear of blood, I should've just left you to drown in your pathetic sorrows!"
"What? How does we know about relations between the Senju and Uzumaki? That's an S-ranked secret!" Tsunade thought shocked, before his other words registered in her unstable head, "What did you just-"
"I never thought I'd see a Senju kissing the ass of an Uchiha like Sasuke. With you, the Will of Fire's been corrupted. You've a disgrace, a traitor to everything your grandfather, the Shodaime Hokage, Senju Hashirama, stood for. One day, Tsunade, you're going to get what's coming to you, and I'll be there to see it with a bag of popcorn in hand and a cold one in the other. When the time comes, don't expect me to save your sorry ass, you Uchiha loving bitch!"
Those unexpected insults shocked Tsunade to the core, with Naruto taking advantage and zipping out of the open window.
"Damn that brat!" Tsunade growling, biting her thumbnail in anger.
"Hmm, that could've gone better."
Tunade turned to see Jiraiya with a serious expression.
"You think? He dares speak blasphemy against me, the Hokage?! He's lucky I don't banish him right now! No, banishment would be too good for him, especially for what going to happen in a few days, but after that little display he pulled, he's going to suffer dearly for his crimes!" Tsunade replied while sitting down in her chair and saw the man awaiting orders.
"So what's the plan, hime?" Jiraiya asked with Tsunade narrowing her eyes in thought.
"Seal up his chakra. All of it! I want him to be powerless as a newborn. After that...you will send him to the maximum security cells of our prison," Tsunade commanded with a vicious look in her eyes, while Jiraiya nodded in confirmation.
"They'll tear him to shreds until there's nothing left, you know." Jiraiya commented, though Tsunade didn't care as much as he did.
Why should he when he almost lost his favorite student to the Kyuubi incident?
"The boy deserves no less. His birth threatened the plan we all made after the Third Shinobi World War. Sensei was forced back into office instead of retiring after years of service to the village. The Uchiha is back, thank goodness, but in the hospital, and having his wounds dressed by Shizune while I deal with him!" Tsunade growled with Jiraiya nodding.
"When do you want me to do this and how long should he be locked away?" Jiraiya inquired with Tsunade looking at him with a slightly insane look in her eyes.
"Tomorrow morning, and make sure he's asleep when you strike. As for how long...it will be until the guests of honor reveal themselves…" Tsunade answered with Jiraiya nodding.
"Not a problem. It'll buy me time to prepare the proper sealing arrangements to seal off Naruto's chakra, as well as Kyuubi's should he try to call upon it. Not to mention I have to remove him from the Toad Summoning Contract just in case he tries to call on them for assistance…" Jiraiya said before there was a knock at the door.
"Enter." Tsunade said, straightening herself up.
Four people walked in, one with blonde hair and blue eyes, one with red hair and violet eyes, and another with long blond hair and blue eyes, with each of them sharing a physical similarity to Naruto expect for the old man that was with them; their appearances making Tsunade and Jiraiya smile, each others returning them.
Unknown to any of them of them...a little bird was on the edge of the window chirping before it flew away going "poof!" in midflight, as an ANBU in a Neko mask silently shunshined away from the roof.
(Naruto's Apartment)
"To think that's they're still alive as well… It's not just them or Tsunade, it's the village as well. 99% of Konohagakure are wolves in sheep's clothing now…" Naruto muttered to himself, recovering from the shock of what he saw after processing the memories of what his Kage Bunshin heard and saw before it expelled.
His father and mother are still alive, and it appears that they had another child, which made that child his sister. Not only that, but the Sandaime Hokage, the one who was like a surrogate grandfather to Naruto, is still alive, which means that he faked his death during his fight with Orochimaru.
Even worse, they were in on the corruption of Konoha.
Jiraiya. His father. His mother. And the Sandaime. They all betrayed him just like Tsunade did, and no Naruto was sure this was just the beginning. No doubt after they lock him up, they were going to drag him out in front of his family to shock him into disbelief that'll not allow him to fight back then they execute him just to get rid of Kiyomi.
"Kushina-chan… Why? How could you…"
"Kiyomi-chan…"
Naruto and Kiyomi had bonded to a level that they could sense what the other was feeling, making them unable to lie to each other. Kiyomi was best friends with Kushina, and they were pretty much the same, but Kiyomi never sensed any malicious intent from Kushina…except the time when she's asleep, the thought making Kiyomi's heart break even further.
Now that the facts were out, they had to prepare for the worst. The Councils pretty much hated his existence, and all the Clan Heads were indifferent to him, and never gave him a chance.
With all those facts combined, Konoha is no longer Naruto's home. It wasn't even a safe haven to begin with due to the abuse he got in his early childhood. It was practically one giant death trap.
"Well, it was fun while it lasted…" Naruto muttered as he went over to a secret compartment.
"Fun?! Almost everyone in this god-forsaken hellhole practically made your life hell ever since you were one, just to get to me!" Kiyomi screamed at her container, "Where's the fun in that?!"
"Come on, Kiyomi-chan, there were good times. Like infiltrating the Clan Heads homes and booby-trapping them for letting those fat assholes Civilian Council and those old crows from the Shinobi Council do whatever they wanted with me. Then there was opening up a can of whoop-ass on Mizuki with the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu after learning about my heritage from the Forbidden Scroll of Sealing, which allowed me to become as strong as I am now." Naruto countered as he opened the secret compartment, which included a backpack filled with items necessary for surviving outside Konoha along with several scrolls full of weapons.
"Oh, true…" Kiyomi muttered as Naruto put the backpack on.
Naruto then grabbed the many items he collected during his time as a Konoha Shinobi: including a scroll that was actually a copy of the jutsu written inside the Forbidden Scroll of Sealing; a pair of curved, single-edged kunai-like blades he brought from the store that are the same model Konoha Chunins Izumo and Kotetsu uses; a massive broadsword called the Kubikiribōchō that was bequeathed to him by the late Momochi Zabuza after the Wave Mission, a scroll full of Fuma Shuriken, and the Raijin no Ken.
"Now for the finishing touches-" Naruto started before he saw the trapdoor open up, causing him to summon a Fuma Shuriken, but relaxed when he saw it was Hinata, followed by an ANBU Shinobi with the Neko Mask, "Hinata-chan, Neko! What are you- Hinata-chan?"
Naruto saw Hinata with a similar backpack on her back, with her Konoha Hitai-ate in her hand.
"I'm sorry, Naruto-kun. I used one of the tunnels to follow you to the Hokage's Office, and saw and heard everything with my Byakugan." she cried, severely shaken, "Why- how could this be happening?"
"Considering their politics, Konoha's looking to be the top village of the Elemental Countries, no matter how they do it, and since I hold Kiyomi-chan, I'm a wild card they're looking to get off."
"It's just as Hayate-kun suspected, which no doubt got him killed." Neko commented.
Naruto frowned, "I thought it was Gaara's sensei, Baki, who killed him."
Neko shook her head as she produced a sheet of paper, "This is Hayate's final letter to me before he was killed, Before the Chunin Exam Finals, the Sandaime told me that it was Baki who killed Hayate-kun, but while I was fighting Baki, he told me that he witnessed Hayate getting killed by his own comrades by the Sandaime's order because he was discovered meeting with Orochimaru. Of course, I didn't believe it, but after finding this, along with recent events, including what I heard and saw in the office, Hayate and Baki were right. Konoha's about to start a war with the Elemental Countries, all to take over the world and attempt to gain power that more than rivals the gods. The village is about to fall past the point of no return, and it start with the execution they have planned for you. The reason being that if you die, the Kyuubi'll die with you, keeping the village from the Akatsuki's radar."
"Why are you telling me all this?" Naruto asked, narrowing his eyes.
"Like Hayate-kun, Hinata, Ino, Anko, Kurama Yakumo, Shizune, Konohamaru and his friends, Hanabi, and the Ichiraku Family, we all know the difference between a kunai and the scroll is sealed in. You can trust all of us." Neko assured him as she handed him a box, "Here, this is from them."
Naruto took it and opened it to find scroll full of sword techniques from Hayate and Neko, a book called Learn All About the Body: Sex Techniques from Anko and (reluctantly) Hana, a portrait of him and the others by Yakumo, a first-aid kit from Shizune, and a book of homemade ramen recipes from Teuchi and Ayame, "A care package?"
"We all knew you would leave Konoha at some point, probably by way of banishment, so we got together and made it for you." Neko explained.
"Uh, thanks…" Naruto said as he stuffed it into his pack, "And Hinata-chan, what's with the bag."
"I'm coming with you,"
"What? Why? What about your clan-"
"They're not my clan anymore, especially when my father insulted my mother's memory one too many times. Now the elders plan on putting the Caged Bird Seal on me on the same day as your execution. It's punishment for not becoming a Chunin after my loss against Neji, who slowly returning to the dark side you pulled him out of…" Hinata said, balling her hands into fists, "I'm tired of it. I've had enough of listening to those…fools. Now I'm listening to my heart, and you."
Naruto scratched the back of his head, "I'm leaving the Elemental Countries altogether to walk my own Path of the Shinobi without anyone taking control of my life. Are you sure you're up for it?"
"And I'll be there with you, Naruto-kun, to share you life with you" Hinata said, holding his hands, "Like I said before, I'm yours, forever…"
"Oh, come on, Naruto-kun! You could use the company besides me!" Kiyomi said, "I'm sure if you say no, she'll still sneak off after you!"
"Good point…" Naruto thought before nodding, "Fine. Just keep up if you can. There's no redemption where I'm going."
"I'm not complaining." Hinata said as Naruto opened the trapdoor, "What will you do, Neko-san?"
"I'll be working to get the others out of Konoha before shit hits the fan. Ino-san can't wait to get away from her parents after reading her clan's black book. Anko is tired of trying to prove her loyalty and she's' not like her "sensei". Yakumo-san doesn't want to marry the Uchiha. Konohamaru, his friends, and Hanabi are looking to join Suna. And the Ichiraku's are unwilling to serve the populous of Konoha any longer. And me? Konoha betrayed my fiancé, and I refuse to wield my blade for their conquest." Neko growled, halfway unsheathing her sword before sheathing it back.
"I trust you, Neko. You and Hayate were the few that saved my life many times, and had my back. I'm sorry I won't be able to help in your revenge. Hayate was like a brother to me, as you are a sister." Naruto said, making Neko smile under her mask, knowing it was true.
"Thank you, Naruto. You'll be safe outside the Elemental Countries. You just leave everything to me, and the many allies you made outside his hellhole. Don't tell me where or how you plan on leaving, just in case things go south. Plausible went poof, indicating that she was a Shadow Clone.
"Thank you, Neko-oneechan."
"Are we leaving now, Naruto-kun?"
"In a moment."
Naruto took the team photo of Team Seven, smashed it to the ground, and wiped the sole of his foot in it. Next, he took his and Hinata's Konoha Hitai-ate and crushed them in his hand using Kiyomi's chakra before kicking the pieces under his bed.
Then he summoned two Kyuubi chakra enhanced Kage Bunshin, and sealed one along with certain "items" in a time-released seal in an empty before hiding it beneath a floorboard. He then nodded to the remaining Kage Bunshin, who nodded and gave him the thumbs-up; as Hinata summoned her own Kage Bunshin, which Naruto then infused with Kiyomi's chakra so it can last longer.
The clones are going be part of the plan to distract Konoha while Naruto and Hinata make a break for it. Hinata's clone will go about her business as Naruto's clone will be captured by Jiraiya, who will throw it into the maximum security prison until the day of execution when the Yondaime, his wife, their daughter, and the Sandaime will make their reappearance.
By that time, Naruto and Hinata will be long gone, miles away from Konoha.
With the stage set, Naruto and Hinata decided that it was now time to get the hell out of Konoha by using a tunnel that will take them a few blocks away from an opening in the village wall, the same opening the Sound Four used when they infiltrated the village. It'll take a while for them to traverse, but with the distractions set, nothing can go wrong.
An hour later, Naruto and Hinata popped up out of a sewer in an alley near the main gates of Konoha. Nodding to each other, Naruto and Hinata henged themselves into random civilians and sneaked out of the alley. As they passed the hospital, they saw their now former fellow rookies in one of the recovery rooms on the top floor through an open window.
And what they heard from them was less than encouraging.
"So Naruto is the Kyuubi after all. I knew there was something off about him the moment I met him!" Kiba said exclaimed with the others agrees.
"I can't believe I was tricked by Kyuubi. He is truly a despicable demon for deceiving me…" Neji said, scowling with anger.
"If I see him, I'm going to use his corpse for target practice!" Tenten said, with several kunai at the ready.
"I should've fought them in the Chunin Exams! It would've been an honor to defeat an unyouthful creature such as Kyuubi!" Lee declared.
"I already knew that baka was the Kyuubi like my parents told me and he proved it by maiming Sasuke-kun! Once I learn Tsunade-sama's Super Strength, I'm gonna punch his head clean off!" Sakura shrieked.
"From what the Hokage's ANBU told me, Naruto's under house arrest. We just have to be patient in the hopes Naruto is as stupid as always to make a move to escape so we can have a crack at him," Shikamaru told them with the others nodding in agreement.
"And they say Orochimaru's a traitor…"
The rookies turned to see the Sand Siblings, Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro entering the room, arriving in time to hear what the rookies are saying.
"What are you talking about?" Shikamaru said before getting his nose broken by Temari's punch and soon saw her siblings flanking her position to protect her from retaliation.
"You heard me, you lazy baka! For someone with an IQ of over 200, you're as blind as a bat when it comes to the truth. My own brother here is just like Naruto! He was the worst of the worst, caring for nothing but himself growing up until Naruto snapped him out of it!" Temari said while her siblings glared daggers at them all.
"It just proves Naruto is a monster just like your baka brother!" Sakura shrieked before killer intent from Gaara instantly silenced her.
"You little bitch. Who was it that saved you from my brother here? Who was it that defeated him and saving the skins of your villagers during the invasion of your village? It was all Naruto, not your precious Uchiha like you no doubt believe and reported to the Hokage." Kankuro snarled at the harpie.
"For siding with the Uchiha after the fool tried to escape to Orochimaru, the alliance between our two villages is hereby terminated. If any Konoha-nin are seen in the Land of Wind, they will be executed on the spot. Let's go." Gaara said coldly, his eyes glaring bloody kunai at them before they left.
Unknownst to the rookies, they never even noticed that one of their own, Ino, wasn't there with them, as she left just as Gaara and his siblings came though the door, but none saw her go poof.
"Konoha has no future if my generation's mindset is now like this and the Hokage's sentencing Naruto to house arrest like a criminal. It's really is time to go…" she thought before going poof, "Wait for me, Naruto-kun!"
"Thank you, Gaara, Temari, Kankuro." Naruto thought before he and Hinata took off and managed to get through the opening in the village walls, disabling their henges in the process, and took to the trees.
(Konoha Forest, a while later)
"I can't believe we managed to get away. I thought for sure we were going to get caught." Hinata said as she and Naruto jumped through the trees.
"Konoha's home to three clans in their shinobi force who specialize in tracking: the Hyuuga, the Inuzuka, and the Aburame. The fact that we weren't caught by any of their bloodlines proves their growing incompetence. And it looks like it extended to our former comrades, minus Ino-chan." Naruto commented.
"Does it hurt you?" Hinata asked her secret lover.
"In a way, but it's barely a surprises. Shikamaru's too lazy to use all of his brainpower to think anything though. Choji follows him wherever he goes on things. Kiba just hates me because you have eyes only for me. Shino just follows his clan's logic, which will no doubt lead towards the council's way of thinking. And do I really need to get into Sakura?" Naruto deadpanned.
"What about Lee and…Neji?" Hinata asked, looking crestfallen when she thought of her cousin who switched his tune.
"I brought that bitch Tsunade back to Konoha not only to become Hokage, but to heal Lee's leg, and Lee owes me his life for restoring his shinobi career. As for Neji, it seems he returned to his arrogant self I thought I stamped out after our battle. If I see either of those two again…" Naruto growled out as Hinata nodded.
"After everything you did for them, they had no right to turn their backs on you." Hinata agreed, ending all familial feeling towards her cousin like the rest of her clan, "They deserve to suffer!"
"Damn straight- Mmm?" Naruto frowned when he spotted something, or someone, partially buried by freshly cut trees.
"What's wrong, Naruto-kun?" Hinata asked as they slowed down.
"…There's someone under these trees."
They landed at the spot where the person was. She was a slender-figured female with long, untamed red hair with a pink tint, with her legs buried under a log. Naruto leaned forward, noticing a Cursed Seal on her neck, and checked her pulse.
"She was one of the ones sent by Orochi-teme to retrieve Sasuke." he noted as the girl's eye fluttered and her hand trying to reach out to him, "Holy shit. She's still alive!"
"What do we do, Naruto-kun?" Hinata squeaked, "We can't just leave her here!"
"Of course not. Orochi-teme may have left her for dead, but the last thing she needs is to get found by Konoha if they decide to do another sweep. If they do, the council will make her the Uchiha's wife and will be used as breeding stock." Naruto said, using a Rasengan to destroy the log pinning the now former Sound kunoichi's legs, "We're taking her with us."
"Won't that slow you down more?"
Naruto and Hinata whipped around to find Ino and Anko landing in front of them with packs on their backs.
"Ino-san! Anko-sensei! What are you doing here?!" Hinata said.
"I've been sent on a mission to Oto, and elected Ino to come with me. But really, we're using this mission to get the hell out of Konoha. I heard from Neko-chan on what happened, and let's just say Konoha's becoming a snake pit." Anko explained, looking back in the direction
"Konoha's not the shining star they've made it out to be in the Academy, and the Chunin Exams showed me that my future isn't with them. I admit I'm weak, but I want to get stronger, and in order to do that, I'm coming with you guys." Ino declared and latched herself to Naruto's arm, "That and I'll go crazy without you, Naruto-kun."
"Ino-san, we don't have time for this!" Hinata snapped, and lightning from the eyes of the bluette and the blonde, making Naruto sigh in exasperation.
"Enough, kiddies!" Anko snapped, whacking the two hellcats on their heads, "It's time to go! Right whiskers?"
"She's right. We have to keep moving if we are to continue putting distance between us and Konoha." Naruto agreed, with the two girls pouting but understanding, "What about the others who'll be leaving Konoha?"
"There's a suitable replacement. I can only say that despite how she acts with men, she's always supported you with me and Neko."
"…I see."
Putting the still out Tayuya on his back piggyback style, Naruto bounded back into the trees with Hinata, Ino, and Anko, heading to the Land of Fire's port to get the first boat out to the Land of Spring.
(Konoha, three days later)
For Konoha, everything went as planned. The Shadow Clone of Naruto was subdued and taken to prison, while the Shadow Clone of Hinata was put under house arrest in preparation for the Caged Bird Seal. Both clone suffered, but they dealt with it, as they looked forward to the day they'll spring the ultimate middle finger on Konoha.
And that day is today.
A beaten up "Naruto" was on a platform, tied to a pole in front of the masses, screaming for his death, while "Hinata" was in the council chambers of the Hyuuga Compound, about to receive the Caged Bird Seal.
As the Godaime spoke to the cheering masses on top of the execution platform with Jiraiya, Uchiha Sasuke and the Yondaime and his family, "Naruto" gave a yawn, due to being bored to tears. "He" couldn't wait to pull the trigger that will begin Konoha's misery, and the same could be said for "Hinata", who was getting the seal written on "her".
But seriously, could Tsunade not get anymore over-the-top-dramatic in her speech about how the Yondaime and his wife have returned to rule Konoha? About how with "his" death, Sasuke will achieve the next level of power? About how Konoha will finally be rid of the bane that is Kyuubi? She makes it sound like Konoha won a war of epic proportions.
To bad she couldn't be any further from the truth.
"Hinata" was in a similar boat, except for the fact that "her" father revealed that he was the one who personally killed "her" mother right after Hanabi was born. One little Juken poke to the heart and her already weakened body and she was gone, never to interfere with her daughters' development and the clan's plan for them. The final straw was that he heartlessly laughed about how easy it was to finish her off, and hoped that she was rotting in hell for her continuous defiance of the Hyuuga Clan.
Oh, the real Hinata was going to be pissed!
"Any last words, loser?"
"Naruto" looked straight into Sasuke's eyes, and then at the active Chidori jutsu meant to put a hole in "him", and smirked.
"Not much, really. I'm surprised that you consider me a friend with the way you carry yourself. News flash my old teammate, I was never your friend, because I was one of the only ones in the village who saw you for what you really are. A little runt of an Uchiha who couldn't kill his brother Itachi even on his best day, no matter how much power you attained. But if you truly think you can get power to kill Itachi by killing me, then go for it, runt. Unless you're afraid that is…" "Naruto" baited him.
"Empty words from a nobody! You will give power for the Mangekyou Sharingan! DIE!" Sasuke yelled and slammed the Chidori into "Naruto", who never lost his smirk.
"Oh yeah, you did asked me if I had any final words, right? Well…"
Back at the Hyuuga Compound, the ink has dried on "Hinata's" forehead as "her" father Hiashi prepared to activate the seal for a test run.
"Any last words, my failure of a daughter?" he asked, while unnerved at "Hinata's" sudden eerie grin.
"Actually my dear father, I do…"
"Oh really? And what's that?" the Yondaime, Minato, and Hiashi asked smugly.
"Naruto" and "Hinata" took a deep breath, channeling Kiyomi's chakra within them, and bellowed, "FUCK YOU! YOKO KITSUNE STYLE: BUNSHIN DAIBAKUHA!"
Naruto's Shadow Clone exploded with force of several C4, destroying the execution platform and sending its occupants crashing into the ground; with the force of the explosion knocking the large crowd back into the streets and building, injuring almost everyone. Sasuke, who had his arm in the clone, had it worse as he screamed in pain, his entire arm now lost with only a stump up to his shoulder left.
At the same time, Hinata's Shadow Clone also exploded the same way, decimating the Hyuuga Clan Compound. The Clan Elders who was overseeing the seal were left in critical condition while Hiashi was sent flying out of the compound and into a tree with his lower spine shattering, leaving him handicapped for the rest of his life.
Meanwhile, outside of Konoha, several former shinobi of Konoha oversaw the explosions that shook their former village from up top of a hill.
Yugao Uzuki, Hana Inuzuka, Shizune Kato, Yakumo Kurama, Iruka Umino, and the three members of the Konohamaru Corps along with Hanabi Hyuuga. The Ichiraku family were down below, taking care of the horses that was pulling their carriage full of things from their shop.
"Now that's an exit!" Konohamaru said as they reveled in the cries of pain from the village, "Serves them right!"
"I can't believe their plan actually worked." Hana said, seeing the proof that Konoha isn't as badass as they think they were. They should've thought that Naruto would pull a stunt like this since it's well known that he can use Kage Bunshin.
"Maybe if the council weren't dipping into the village treasury that forced cutbacks, this wouldn't have happened." Iruka commented, knowing that the next generation of Konoha was going to be crippled due to some of the subjects about being a true shinobi being cut out of the Shinobi Academy curriculum.
"Come on. We have to get the Wave while Konoha's still in disarray." Yugao said and walked down the hill with the others, satisfied that that explosions signaled the beginning of the fall of Konoha, "And you. Are you sure you want to leave with us?"
The one she was speaking to is leaning against the carriage as she looked back at Konoha.
"I'm sure." Kurenai Yuhi stated, smiled at Yugao, who smiled back.
"Well then. Let's get going!"
(Haru no Kuni, a week later)
The Land of Spring, formerly known as the Land of Snow, is home to technological wonders, more advanced than the rest of the territories in the Elemental Countries. This was due to one of the train lines leading to the mainland.
And Naruto, Hinata, Ino, Anko, and the girl known as Tayuya, were on a train heading to the mainland to live a new life and train, provided by the Daimyo of the Land of Spring, Kazahana Koyuki, who is eternally indebted to Naruto for saving her and her county from her treacherous uncle Doto.
While she would never show it, Tayuya was forever grateful to Naruto, Hinata, Ino, and Anko for saving her life after being left for dead. After being knocked out cold by Temari's attack, she awakened to find her body racked with pain, slowly losing pain, and cursed loudly for hours. She was already fading from the blood loss until Naruto and Hinata arrived and freed her, taking her with them.
Naruto used Kiyomi's chakra along with Hinata's healing salve to heal her legs along the way to the Land of Spring. Tayuya surprisingly wasn't very talkative as she traveled with them, but finally opened up after Naruto heard her muttering "Kin" in her sleep, recognizing her name as the only Sound kunoichi on the Sound Team that participated in the Chunin Exams.
Tayuya revealed that Kin was her girlfriend, and the reason she was active with Orochimaru's plan because she was told Kin died at the hands of Konoha-nin, directing her rage over the lost of her lover at them. However, Naruto drew Tayuya into his mindscape and showed her a memory of one of his Shadow Clones witnessing the battle between the Sandaime Hokage and Orochimaru, showing Tayuya that Kin was used as a sacrifice for his Edo Tensei Jutsu that ended her life.
Tayuya wanted to return to Oto immediately to kill Orochimaru and avenge her beloved, but Naruto managed to talk her out of it, citing the fact that they weren't strong enough, and the only way to do is to train outside the Elemental Countries where no one could be able to get to them.
Hence why they were on the first train out of the Elemental Countries until their eventual return.
"Are you sure you can't stay one more day; at least another week? I'm going to miss you!" Koyuki whined, holding Naruto's hand outside the train.
"I'll miss you too, Koyuki-hime, but we've overstayed our welcome. Soon Konoha shinobi will come calling since the Land of Spring is one of the places I've made an impact."
"They will never be welcomed into our lands as long as I'm Daimyo. As we speak, every country in the Elemental Nation are ending trading rights and alliances with Konoha. The Fire Daimyo will look into this, and realize his mistake in not watching his shinobi village closely like the other Daimyo like myself do. Konoha will pay for what they've done to you all, and for trying to start a war with the world!" Koyuki declared as the train whistled, signaling its departure, with her letting go of Naruto's hand.
"All I ask is that you leave that cocksucking pedophile Orochimaru for me! He's mine to kill!" Tayuya shouted from the window.
"You'll have to get in line, gaki. You're not the only person who Orochimaru screwed over." Anko growled, making Tayuya growl at her.
"Just be careful. The world outside is unlike the one you know here. You'll be forced to adapt." Koyuki told them, with the three nodding.
"I'll keep Naruto-kun safe./It's a promise, Koyuki-san!" Hinata and Ino assured the Spring Daimyo as they latched on to Naruto, who smiled.
"See? I'm in safe hands already." Naruto said as the train began to move, "Sayonara, Koyuki-hime! I promise we'll come back no matter what!"
"It's a promise, Naruto-kun, Hinata-san, Ino-san, Tayuya-san, Anko-san! We'll see each other when fate bring us together again!" Koyuki shouted after him.
They waved at each other until they were out of sight, and Koyuki put her hands together in prayer, praying for their safe return.
