The truth behind the truth!

Chapter 1

I do not own Naruto.

This is my first story. So please cut me a break.

Characters may be added and some maybe out of character. Others characters may not have the right names. Sorry.

Naruto had been doing nothing for a while. Tsunade wont send him on any missions. But lately everyone has been busy. Naruto had to do something or he was going to go mad. Everytime he had asked someone to train with him they said that they were to busy to train with him they had bigger things to do then train and all that. Naruto had never been rejected so many times. It was heart breaking to know that his friends wanted nothing to do with him.

"Man what am I going to do. Nobody will train with me. They say they are all to busy to do anything but work. Man its just not right. "

Naruto in is sulking bad mood went to Ichircku Ramen to get his mind off things and help him think better. When he arrived the Old Man that mines the store was acting strange. More then usual.

"Hey what up old man?" Naruto had enjoyed the roman that has been given to him over the years.

"Nothing really. Why do you look so blue Naruto?" The old man has never seen Naruto this sad before not even when Saskue had left or when he tried to destroy the villige. He was worried.

Naruto just sighed. He didn't know what to say or do. But finally Naruto opened up. "Everyone is to busy to do anything with me they wont train, or hang out or go out to eat with me or anything. It is like I don't have any friends at all.

The old man looked at Naruto then put a bowl of roman infront of him. "Don't worry so much it's not like they hate you or anything." The old man was pleased with what he told Naruto and walked away and went to go make more roman.

Naruto on the other hand looked at him in amazment. He couldn't believe that he still had friends. It didn't seem like it to him. It really looked like he was all alone again. Just like when he was a kid. Nobody wanted him then and nobody wants him now. So unfortnatly Naruto got a crazy idea in his head.

Naruto went home packed a bag and set off to go someplace and never planed to come back. Naruto had good speed, he was fast thanks to the Jenjurkie. He would be at least a one day a head of anyone who came after him. But he felt as if no one would come. So he left he got out without anybody noticeing. Then he was gone.

Mean time while Naruto is acting like an idiot.

Somebody knocks on Naruto's door. "Naruto ya home?" Another knock. But no answer. "Naruto are you in there?" The knob turns. "What if he gets mad at us for barging in on him like this Sakura?" Hinata was worried Naruto would get angry. "Don't worry Hinata Naruto wont mind, will you Naruto?" But still no answer. Sakura herself was starting to worry. Naruto never ignored Hinata or her before so why now.

They both go inside. They look at the place. Hinata used her byakugon but saw nothing. She then saw a note on the table. She walked over to it slowly to the saw that it was Naruto's hand writting and so she read what it said.

This is Naruto but I guess you already know that seeing how you are in my house. I have decided to leave the village. Nobody wants me around. I can't go on missions. I feel as if it is like it was before I became a ninja, nobody wanted to look at me they didn't want to speak to me. I believe this is the best for all of us. Don't worry bout me. I can take care of my self. I have my whole life I can finish it now.

Naruto Uzimaki

Hinata couldn't believe what she had just read. She was in shock.

"Sakura! Naruto has left the village!"

Sakura turned to look at Hinata. She didn't believe her until she saw the HInata shaking and looking at a note. Sakura crossed the room to be by Hinata's side. SHe knew Naruto was pset that nobody did anything with him but he would go that far.

"You must be mistaken Hinata, Naruto is an Idiot but not that big of an idiot." Hinata showed Sakura the note. Sakura read it, then she re-read it again she was frozen for about fifteen minutes.

"Hinata go tell Lady Tsunade, I will go get the others and tell them what has happned. We will go look for him." Hinata shooke her head and left, Sakura did the same.

They all met up and the Hokages office. They even had the Sand Shanobi there to be there for Naruto's big suprise.

"Alright the situation is this. Naruto left the village because I never sent him on any missions, nobody would train with him or go out to eat with him. We must all go and search for him but Kiba I wont you to use Akamaru so you can all go as a group. It is everybodys fault we all should have saw this coming. So work as a group. Alright? Now go."

Everyone nodded and went on theur mission. Garra even listened. He knew everyone had to help. The villagers were even helping by finishing what the group hadn't got done yet. Kiba and Akamaru were in the lead. They had the smell of Naruto, so they could find him quickly. Everyone in the group was worried about Naruto. They didn't want him to get hurt anymore.

While the group was on Naruto's trail Naruto was rethinking everything. Maybe he was wrong to do what he did. He did act on impulse after all. Maybe he should go back and find his friends and talk to them about what has been bugging him for so long. He finally decided to return to the village. So he left and headed back.

"Do you think we can find him in time? Who knows how long he has been gone for?" Tenten did not help in this situation at all. She made everything seem worse then what it was.

It made Hinata feel bad. She was the most worried about Naruto. She wanted to please him not make him sad. She never really cared what people said about Naruto. She wanted to be there for him not matter what. She cared more about Naruto then her own life. She knew Naruto didnt care for her. She knew he had a crush on Sakura but it didn't matter to her. She still would do anything for him.

Naruto was on his way back he knew he made the wrong choice but he had to take a break he couldn't run anymore it wore him out all the running he did for nothing. She decided to go through his pack to see if he packed and food or drinks. He was foing through it when he saw a jar. The jar was filled with ointment. He remembered who gave it to him as well.

It was during the Chuunin Exams. Hinata gave it to him to heal his wounds. He was greatful she had done this. She had been worried about him. He also rememebers that it was also the day she got badly hurt from Neji. When he returned home he saw how they got along which had made him feel better knowing that she was making a good relationship with her family. Her Father no longer saw her as a small pathetic child that can't do anything for herself. And that she changed not only her relationships with her family but with her teammates as had really grown up.

But Naruto still hadn't figured out why Hinata always fainted around him. He never understood that about her. The only time he ever saw a girl faint like that is when Saskue had his fain club. That was the only time he s... Naruto started think back way back from when he was a kid.

Hinata had always fainted around him, but never Saskue. She always went out of her way for Naruto. She would help him. Encourage him to do better. Watch him while he trained. She did alot of things all of the girls who liked Saskue did but not for Saskue or anyone else but for Naruto.

"Could it be that Hinata likes me? Could she really like me that much? She is weird but in a good way. Her actions are liek the girls who like Saskue but she shows them to me not anyone else. Could it really be?"

Naruto was lost in thought on what he discoverd. He couldn't wrap his head around it long enough to think through and then he was on the move again. He was going to go find Hinata and ask her if what he thought to be true is true. He need to know and quick. Naruto was on to something.

He kept thinking about how she was there for him and cared for him. He never really took that into thought on anything. If he had known sooner he would have told her something. How coudl he have been so blind. He felt stupid for not noticing sooner.

"I am so stupid, how long would I have to appologize for not returning her feelings." Naruto felt so bad that as he was running he ran right into someone.

"Ouch!" They both screamed. They looked at one another. Naruto blinked Hinata Blinked.

"Hinata its you. I mean of course its you why wouldn't it be. I mean what I'm trying to say is I'm sorry." Naruto ran out of breath while he was rambaling on. Hinata was lost she had no clue what he was talking about and didn't understand why he was appologizing.

Everyone looked at Naruto all weird. Then as soon as Naruto was about to appologize for leaving that is when Hinata spoke up.

"Naruto we understand why you left. It was our fault. We should have put you first before what we were doing. We should be sorry not you." Hinata just looked at him. He still had that sorry look on his face.

"But I left because nobody wanted me anymore just like before when I was younger." Naruto was scared it would be like before and nobody would have him around.

"Naruto it;s our fault we should have been paying attention to you and not your birthday party. So stop beating your self up over it ok?" Sai said and it was to late to take bake his word for he knew he just blow the whole suprise party.

"Yeah but I feel like it is...Wait what birthday party?" Naruto was confused as to they were talking about.

They all looked at him, like he had never had a birthday party before. They couldn't beleive Naurto forgot his own birthday. How could he. I mean it was huge the whole village was part of it.

"Come on Naruto surly you have ahd a Birthday party I mean you are 17 now." Ino was so lost she couldn't believe the look she was getting from him. Naruto shook his head.

"Never got one everyone in the village didn't like me so Iruka sensie would take me to go get roman. But he didnt do it this year so I figured that he must have forgot or got tired of me." Naruto was so lost and confused.

"Naruto no one forgot you. We couldn't do that to you not after what you have been through. Understand we are here til the end." Kakashi was sweet and kind about what he said. And he meant it he couldn't ever lie to him. Not with the way Naruto looks at him. He is just like Obito when he was still alive.

Naruto was greatful for Kakashi's words he was glad his sensei could help him. His father said he would so then he must listen to his fathers words. He was glad he did. But he must speak to Hinata alone as soon as possable. He must tell her everything.

So they returned to the village at a late hour but that didn't stop the villagers from parting. So they had a blast. Everyone in the villaged lined up to give Naruto a gift. They all thought he deserved it after what he has been trough.

So after he recieved every present possable. Naruto helped clean up. They got done about three in the morning. He was glad when it was all over. He looked around and then he saw all of the presents he had. But he noticed he didn't get a present from Kakashi. SO instead of an object he wanted something else. He would confront Kakashi about hs wanted to know about him. He thought it would be the best way. So when he found Kakashi he also saw everyone else. Even Shikamaru, Ino, and Choji's fathers where there. He was suprised, but he went to see the group anyway it was about time everyone knew who he really was.

"So Naruto did you like your party?" Shikamaru's dad asked. He helped put it together which was kindof suprising for him at least. NAruto figured Shikmaru got his laziness from his father.

"Yeah I did thanks alot. I had alot of fun. I wont ever forget it." Naruto was truly happy with everything that happned tonight. But his smile faded quickly.

"Whats wrong Naruto. You said you liked it why the long face." Kiba wanted to know why he didn't like his party. They all worked hard on if for him, and when they had to go get him that added to it.

"I did like my party a lot. It was great. But I have to asked Kakashi sensei something that only he can answer."

They all looked at Kakashi. They wanted to know what he knew that they didn't know.

"You want to know about your father? Is that right?" But it wasn't Kakashi that answered hi, it was Shikaku. (A/N: By the way I didn't know how to spell his dads name so please forgive me) Shickamaru's dad. They all looked at him is shock.

"Why on earth would you think that Dad?" Shikamaru was curiouse about it. he wanted to know as well as everyone else.

"Yeah I wanted to know more about him." Naruto looked down. He felt as if he had broken and unspoken promise.

"Well let me tell you this you are a lot like him. But more like your mother."

Everyone was really shocked. They sill couldn't believe they were talkin about Naruto's father and mother it was amazing the first anyone has ever heard of them and they got to hear it.

"Well Naruto dose everyone here know about your little secret?"

What little secret?" Ino was really goin crazy she wanted to know everything about everyone.

Naruto looked down. "No not everyone just you adults I guess."

Shikaku looked at him and nodded. "Well I will only tell you if everyone here knows everything. Or I would have broken my promise to you father."

Naruto nodded, he was scared that he would lose all his friends. But this is something two people already knew. Only Shikamaru and Garra knew that he was a jenchuriki. They were able to handel it so maybe everyone else can to. But what about Hinata? Naruto was really worried about her and her not being able to handel it.

"Well Naruto what is it that we have to know before you can find out about your father?" Ino was very imapiant. She wanted to know so bad. It drove her nuts.

"When I was born my father and mother sealed a nine tailed fox demon inside of me." Naruto looked at all of his friends. He was scared they would think he was lieing 'bout it. He saw everyones faces, but looked at Hinata's face the longests. He didn't want to lose her. Not to what his father and mother had done to him when he was a child. But what he saw was not fear or terror. But is was a face that said yeah so what we still care about you no matter what. He smiled.

"Naruto you may be different from us but you are still our friend and we will always be there for you because you are there for us. Got that?" Sakura looked at Sai and Saskue both and they nodded in agreement with Sakura.

Naruto looked at Sakura and Saskue and Sai and was greatful he had such a great squad. He would never change what has happened for anything in the world he would change time or anything like that. He had his friends that was good enough for him.

"Well alright then. So Minato was the fourth Hokage. Your mother she was a ninja from a special clan from the Land of Wind and very beautiful. That is where you get your ability of wind from. So when the Demon attacked the village yur father took your mother and hid her away. He wanted to make sure you were safe." Shikaku said.

"Wait your saying that Naruto is born from the Fourth Hokage a great ninja and a beautiful woman?" Ino couldn't believe it. She just could not wrap her head around it. It was unbelieveable.

"Yes Ino" Shikaku really didn't like being interupted by her while he was telling a story. "As I was saying. Your father made sure you were safe from harm he knew that if anything if it came down to it he would seal the demon waay inside you. He said if he believed anyone could handel the demon it would be his son. The boy he named after a great character out of a book."

Naruto looked at him in a strange way. "Wait out of what book?" Naruto didn't know this. He wanted to know what great character.

"It was out of Jiraya's book Make out Paridice. The first book of the series." Kakashi said with a grin on his face.

Eveyone just stared at Kakashi. They didn't believe Naruto was named after a charcter that the Perverted old man created. It just couldn't be. Naruto just looked as if he was staring into spcae. He just couldn't believe that his father did that.

"Are you kidding me? He named me after a charcter that the Pervy Sage made up? Out of his stupid book?" Naruto was shocked it was a sick joke his father played on him. How could his mother have done that. He just couldn't believe it.

"Well your father did encourge him to write the book after all. Your father encourged alot of people to do things that they thought they could never have done before he gave them the confadence that they needed." Kakashi was happy about what he said.

"How do you know what he was like Sensei?" Sai had to ask. He still didn't understand much about friendships so he was trying to pay extra attention to the story to learn more.

"Well its because the Fourth Hokage was my Sensei Sai. Hw taught me a lot of things. Like what it means to be a team. How to use our skills the right way." Kakashi looked at Naruto for that one.

Everyone looked in amzement at Kakashi.

"So wait Sensei you mean to tell us you werent always the way you are now?" Sakura couldnt believe it.

"Sakura well thats mean. You make it sound like I am late for everything, never act serious at important momments. It is sad to know you think that way." KAkashi sounded affended by what Sakura said.

But that didn't stop the team from saying. "You are always late and are never serious about anything!" They all said in harmony.

Kakashi just looked and laughd. "Well then thats nice to know what you think of me." Kakashi just gave a scary laugh.

"Sakura I hate to be you right now." Ino said with sypmathy.

All three members of Kakashi just looked at him like he was the most pathetic person in the world. They all knew Kakshi wouldn't do anything to them. He wouldn't make them go through any hard core training or make them write an essay on team work or anything like that. It just wasn't Kakashi's style.

"So not only were taught by my father but you learned a lot right?" Naruto was happy that his father didn't let him down. He was truly happy to be the Fourth Hokage's son. No matter what people thought of him in the past or in the future. He was a very lucky ninja and a great man and a great woman's son as well.

Kakashi nodded his head. "Yes Naruto everything I learned from my Sensei I have taught to you three. But I have also taught you something a friend of mine taught me back when he was still around." Kakashi said with a quite tone.

"What do you mean when he was still around?" Lee wanted to know. He thought that maybe he could put this to his training.

"Well Lee his name was Obito. He was a good friend and a great ninja. He always said he was going to show me up. Always making excuses about being late and how he was always helping someone in need. He was always doing things like that. You remind me of him Naruto a lot. He to had a weekness for pretty girls." Kakashi said with a wink.

"Wow where did he come from Sensei?" Lee was so interested in the story. Naruto was happy to hear stories about when his father was around and how great a man he was. He was truly happy to say that the Fourth Hokage was his father. He wouldn't change it one bit.

"Obito came from the Uchiha clan. He was a skill ninja." Kakashi said with pride as he mentioned his best friend.

This made Saskue look alert and amazed. A person from the Uchiha clan acting like that. It was un heard of if they were know as a ninja that is. Saskue was so into the conversation now. He wanted to know more about this Obito person. He had never heard of him.

"Where did he go?" It was strange to hear Saskue's voice he hadn't really talked much sense he left the village.

Kakashi looked at him in the eye. "He died when I was a kid. We were on a mission and he was crushed to death. That is why I have one Sharingan eye. He gave it to me. Our medicel ninja Rin put it in for me. That is where I learned the value of team work. He taught it to me. By going back for Rin our team mate."

Naruto looked around and nobody was judging everyone. They were all friends and they worked together as a team. That is what it is to be a ninja in Naruto's eyes. But something was still on Naruto's mind.

Hinata.
