After retrieval mission for Sasuke fails

Naruto is sitting at Ramen stand

--

"Hey, old man! One miso ramen to start off a new day!" shouted a blonde who obviously did not notice the other people in the booth, who in return gave said blonde many glares.

"Coming right up kid, and please try to keep it down." the aging man said while gesturing down the row, "I have other customers, thank you."

"Sorry old man, I just want to get something to eat before I head off and train, and also please don't call me a kid old man, I am a ninja and by Kanoha law, I am considered an adult." the blonde stated simply. "I mean come on old man, can I at least have a little respect?"

"Oh, sure thing my man, I will give you some respect," the old man reached under the counter to grab something, he quickly pulled up a frying pan while shouting, "Then stop calling me old man and respect this!" the old man shouted. The blonde closed both eyes and quickly brought his hands up to stop the frying pan from hitting him, but the contact never came. He slowly opened one eye to see a fuming Ayame.

Damn she looks hot when she's angry, I wonder what she would look like—Damn Naruto stop it… your thinking like the pervy sage, pull it together man. Then blonde thought.

"FATHER! Stop your scaring our other customers with your bickering with Naruto. I mean both of you are acting immature, you father, probably more than Naruto." she quickly stole a glance at Naruto to see him sticking his tongue out at her father. "And Naruto! You should know that respect is earned, not given!" the blonde winced out these words, all he did during his life was try to earn respect. Ayame immediately noticed her err in her choice of words and quickly said, "But Naruto, you have done a lot for the people of this village, but you need to realize that some people's respect are harder to earn than others.

"Thank you Ayame my daughter for stopping me during my temper tantrum, and I am sorry Naruto that I got so mad at you. But please could you do me one favor and stop calling me old man? I mean I am still very spirited and well, I do cook your food and you never know what I could slip in to it." the old ramen chef grinned inwardly, I have that blonde now, I know for sure now he will stop calling me old man once I threaten his ramen supply.

The blonde looked at the man with a simple I am sorry look and replied… "Thank you Ayame-chan, and my senile friend (The old men glares at the boy) I calls them, as I sees them." The old ramen chefs eyes started twitching, the blonde realized that that joke just went too far when he could literally see smoke coming out of the Ramen chef's ears. "I am joking! I will stop calling you old man! Don't cook me and serve me in to Ramen!"

The look on the old man's face instantly calmed. "That's more like it Naruto and as a reward I will stop calling you kid and just call you plain old Naruto. And by the way," the man turned back around to get to work on Naruto's miso ramen, "I wouldn't serve you in a form of ramen—"

"Well that's a relief—" interrupted the blonde boy.

The ramen chef continued, "because that would destroy my business and not to mention give my customers heart burn."

"That cut deep old man, that cut deep." The blonde looked hurt, but then Naruto gave his trademark foxy grin. "But I have to admit, for a man of your age, that was pretty good."

The old ramen chef grinned, "Well you see, when you have been around the block as many times as I have— HEY! wait a minute, you just called me old again you little sneak!" the old man shouted.

Ayame simply bowed her head, These two, they were always an interesting pair. I better make sure Naruto's ramen does not burn. She immediately hurried beyond the two bickering 'children' to attend to the ramen that her father was supposed to be cooking. And look at that, those two scared away the other customers… just like they do every morning… Ayame stole a quick glance at the blonde boy while she was sure no one was looking, but he sure is cute, if only I could... A faint blush grew on her face as she thought of the blonde.

Well it seems like my daughter has developed a liking for Naruto after all these years. Good, maybe, now I can finally get her out of my house and dating again… I don't really care who that special someone is for her, but is long as that person makes her happy, then I am fine with it. The ramen chef smiled at the thought of his daughter being happy again. He looked up to see two anbu approaching his ramen stand. "Anbu-sans, come sit down and have a quick bite to eat."

The masked ninja looked at the chef and replied in a monotone yet menacing voice that made Ayame shift uncomfortably, Naruto immediately noticed this and glared at the two anbu, "I am sorry old man," the ramen chef flinched at this, he knew Naruto and they joked around but someone should not just walk up and call him an old man. "but we have been requested to take Naruto to a hearing with the council."

"What for, if I may ask? Naruto here was just about to enjoy one of many of my delicious miso ramens and please don't ruin it for him." the chef asked in a careless tone.

"Shut it old man, we have come to take the boy to the council like they have order." Ayame was starting to tremble in fear due to the killing intent the to shinobi were leaking out. The old ramen chef was ready with another retort when Naruto raised his hand.

Naruto was getting real pissed with these Anbu, first of all they were making fun of Ayame-chan, second of all they work making fun of the old man, and third of all they were interrupting HIS RAMEN TIIME! "You two bastards are really something." the boy was now started to force out inhumane amounts of killing intent on to the two anbu. "You think you are so cool because your anbu, you cannot treat citizens of Kanoha like that you two lecherous bastards! I am going to come with you, but if you say one more word or release another ounce of killing intent over on those two, I will make sure you regret it."

"Whatever demon child, your idol threats are weak without force behind them, just come with us to the council's hearing chambers." The three ninja immediately disappeared in a flash.

Ayame and her father looked at each other, Ayame then asked in a frightened tone, "What do you think is going to happen to Naruto-kun father?" She was scared that something was going to happen to her Naruto-kun.

The old chef simply look at the girl, "I don't know, but judging by how those two anbu acted it can't be good. Let's have a bowl of ramen prepared for him after his meeting with the council. Something tells me he is going to need it.

--Council's Chamber-- (A/N: I seem to picture dark and depressing) --

The anbu pushed Naruto through a huge elegant door with the symbol of the leaf village on it, after which the two anbu followed him in to the room. Naruto took observed the new surroundings of the so called 'Council's Chamber'. Wow could they pick a more depressing setting. I mean the room is completely dark save the torches at lining the wall and in front of the council themselves, and the chains in the background don't help that much either… even the leaf village tapestry behind them is old and fading. This council must be really based in to tradition. The boy thought. He was suddenly awoken from his thoughts by an old bandaged man clearing his throat.

"Naruto, we have suffered from your failure to this village long enough. You had failed to protect your team mates on your mission the Land of the Wave which almost cost them their lives," Naruto visibly flinched at this and the Council grinned at his reaction, "You failed to defend the village during the Sound Invasion so Sasuke had to fight that Sand Demon by himself and won to." when the blonde heard this he spoke up to complain.

"That is not true! I was one the one who fought Gaara! Sasuke was knocked out due to the curse mark from Orochimaru!" the blonde shouted.

"SILENCE! That is not the report we had received from the pink haired kunoichi, Sakura I think it was, she said that Sasuke was the one who fought off the Sand Demon! Also our final reason is this, you failed to bring back our best shinobi, Sasuke Uchiha! We as a council plus with the word of the Fire Country Daimyo have decided to remove you from shinobi duty where you will now become a citizen of the leaf. We feel that you are unsafe to have as a shinobi and could damage not only the reputation of the leaf but the militaristic power as well." Danzo grinned to himself, the blonde was finished now, as a shinobi people would get suspicious if he just disappeared, but as a citizen, no one but friends would know. The demon had no friends, no one would be friends with a demon. If this plan goes through without a hitch we will be rid of the Demon Boy FOREVER! He glanced at the shocked demon child, The end will be near soon boy.

"Where Tsunade or Jiraiya? Tsunade especially should be here since she is hokage after all. Where are they?" asked the blonde.

"Boy, Tsunade is not here because we thought that she thinks of you to closely as family, we think that would cloud her judgment. Jiraiya is currently out of the village at the moment, we had already checked to see if he could come." said another council member. He will never know that part about Jiraiya was a lie because Jiraiya is frequently out of the village and Tsunade, he must see are reasons why she is not here, family would defend family after all. The man grinned to himself, there was no way this boy could win this.

Naruto was getting angry, "What the hell! The hokage should be here when someone's ninja career is on the line! Where is she! I want her here now!"

Danzo simply smiled at the boy, "It would not matter boy if she was here or not, we would have overruled her anyways as well as we have permission from the Daimyo. You no longer have any say, please hand over your forehead protector and the anbu will escort you out of the building." Our plan is almost complete soon we will be rid of the demon boy once and for all.

"Here is my forehead protector you soul-less bastards," Naruto then hurled his forehead protector at the tapestry behind the council which was then imbedded in to it, "I have done everything I could for this village and this is how you damn repay me! Also next time get your information from a better source not a fangirl/kunoichi wannabe!" Naruto then stormed out of the room before the anbu could get to him.

The two anbu then spoke up, "We are sorry for the boy's insolence, we will go 'punish' him for you." With that the two anbu disappeared in a blur.

"Go." spoke the council in unison. All who were in the council was shocked at the blonde's outburst, but they were still grinning at their success of their plan. After the anbu had left to 'punish' the boy, one spoke up. "So when do we start phase two?"

Danzo then spoke up, "Phase two has already begun when those two anbu left, we must finish the boy off before Tsunade becomes aware of the situation."
