I do not own Naruto
He stood in front of the entrance gates that belonged to a village he once called home. A village that he once swore to protect with his life, he would have giving anything to protect the village. It was his home and the place where his family lived. His real family being dead was replaced with the only people in the village that cared for him. It was hard to imagine that he could ever feel love and acceptance. It was those few people in the village that made him want to protect it at first. But over time he realized the villagers only feared the unknown and he soon began to forgive them. It was hard for him at first and painful at times. He was going to show them all he was a good person not a monster. But like everything in his life something always seems nearly impossible. No matter how hard he tried he was always looked down on. Now it did not matter, everything from his previous life was nothing but a bad memory.
He felt hate and sadness as the memories rushed through his head. But at the same time he still had love for the village. It was a feeling no matter how bad things got that he could cling to. Having the love for the village still was something he could not explain but it would always be there. All three emotions ran through him as he stood in front of the gates. Hate for everything the villagers and ninja did to him all for something he did not understand at age. He was always confused by why he was called a demon and monster. That confusion later turned to hate. He used that hate to survive to prove to everyone he was not a monster. He felt sadness because he knew his dreams of becoming the village leader was nothing but a joke to everyone in the village. All he wanted to do was be a person in the villager's eyes. For so long he wanted to prove to the village he was worthy of their respect. He wanted to walk down the street without being taunted and yelled at. For so long he wanted to be accepted as a normal kid growing up. He wanted to have fun with other kids and enjoy his childhood. He now knew the village of Konoha never intended to respect or accept him. He now understood that the village wanted him dead. He knew leaving the village was the best thing for him. Leaving the village was the reason he was even a live.
The sun was getting ready to set and dark clouds starting to form off in the distance. He stood there watching the clouds move closer until they were right above him. He could feel the moisture in the air rise and the smell of wet dirt. It was about to rain but he did not care. He did not seek shelter nor did he move, He remained standing still at the village gates. Looking up at the clouds he let out a yell of anger, He let all the anger he held onto for so long into that one yell. At that very moment thunder rolled across the sky drowning out his yell, lightning could be seen in the distance as it lit up the dark sky. Then he let his head fall his chin now resting on his chest looking to the ground tears started to run down his cheeks. The pain of his life was too much to hold on to any longer, He watched his tears fall from his face and the moment they hit the ground rain started pouring. His tears now blending in with the rain he closed his eyes.
He soon felt someone hug him from behind wrapping their arms around his waist and rest their chin on his shoulder. With a voice filled with sadness and concern they spoke "Is something wrong Naruto?"
Looking up with tears still running down his face he turned around to face the person who was hugging him. "No I'm fine. I'm just thinking about how everything ended up the way it is now. I am still unsure of everything that has happened and will happen. I'm Sorry for dragging you out here with me Hinata you had better things to do then watch me break down like a little kid"
"No, it is not a problem. I want to be here with you Naruto. Besides after what you have been through no one has the right to judge you for crying. Naruto I will always be here for you no matter what." Hinata grabbed his hand to reassure him.
Hinata then turn to look at the gates Naruto was looking at. Her memories of the village although not pleasant were nowhere near as bad as Naruto's life. She then turned to look at Naruto again. Still holding his hand she remembered all the pain and torment Naruto went through being mocked and yelled at. The village would throw rotten food, trash, and sometimes even rocks at his as he walked the streets. She remembered how she once found him in an ally way laying in a pool of his own blood. He had both eyes swollen shut cuts covered hos entire body and even had a few kunai lodged into his back and chest. The villagers beat him and left him for dead. It was the first time she ever met Naruto and they were only seven years old at the time. She later found out that Naruto's life was a nightmare.
"Hinata, do you remember everything that happened the day we left the village?" Naruto asked as he turned to look at Hinata in the eyes.
Hinata nodded her head as she looked at Naruto and saw him smiling not sure if it was real or fake. She knew that was the day Naruto's life hit an all-time low, however soon after everything in his life began to change. "Yes, I remember that day Naruto. I remember everything that happened that day. I will never forget."
Naruto was standing on a wooden platform being watched by everyone in the village hate filled eyes. His hands and legs were bond by chakra wire. His body was covered in cuts and bruises and his clothes stained with blood. He could feel the hate as everyone stared at him. He then saw for the first time that everyone in front of him held nothing but pure hate for him. Not just fear and uncertainty like he once believed.
"Naruto Uzumaki, you are here before the Ninja and elder council of Konoha" spoke the head of the ninja council Danzo
"You are being charged with the intentional crimes committed against a fellow shinobi. During a mission to retrieve Sasuke Uchiha you engaged in a battle resulting in the near death of Sasuke. Not only is he a fellow shinobi he is your team mate." Stated Danzo as he read off a sheet of paper he held in front of himself. "Although you completed your mission and it was successful as you returned with Sasuke Uchiha, He was hospitalized in a critical state. After a medical check it was found he had multiple fractures throughout his body. The cuts that were present on him indicate excessive use of force. Upon completion of medical examinations it was declared by medical staff that the injuries found on Sasuke indicate you intended to kill Sasuke."
Naruto looked up in shock and horror as he heard what Danzo said.
"I did not intend to kill him. He was the one trying to kill me! He came at me with deadly force wanting to kill ME! I asked him to come back but he refused. He told him if I fought him he would kill me. So I did what I had to in order to stop him. I agree I may have used a little too much force. I brought him back like I promised, I did what I needed to do to make every one of you happy. I was wrong like always, there is nothing I can do to make you people happy.
"It was unfair the way they treated you Naruto. You brought him back to them yet they hated you. They always had an excuse to hate you. Every little thing you did was always wrong. I can't believe the whole village was like that to you. You did not deserve any of what happened to you. All this happened because of their precious Uchiha. Without you he would be gone right now, a play thing for Orochimaru." Hinata was thinking about how Sasuke was treated like a Prince and Naruto was treated like a rat. Nothing was ever good enough. He tried to be a kind and gentle person only to be kicked and spat on.
In Hinata's eyes Naruto was the true hero on the village. He was the one who deserved to be treated with respect by the villagers. Naruto was not the one who willingly tried to defect from the village. The way he was treated like a demon and monster made her upset beyond all measure. He was the kindest and sweetest person she ever knew. Even though he held the Nine Tail Demon inside him, Naruto did not deserve to be treated the way he was. As far as she was concerned Konoha did not deserve a person like Naruto protecting them. She still did not understand how Naruto was still sane after everything he went through in life.
"You're nothing but a demon you deserve to die. You are the problem in this village nothing or no one else is responsible for what has happened except you. You are a curse to this village. It was your fault Sasuke ran away in the first place" Danzo stated with hate in his voice." What you did to Sasuke is proof that you are too dangerous and need to die. It is too much risk to keep you around and you are much too old to be molded into a mindless weapon. If only the third Hokage listened to me then we would not have this problem"
Danzo and the council were staring at Naruto with pure hatred. Naruto could feel their hate searing deep into his soul if looks could kill he would be dead a hundred times over. It made him wonder why he wanted to protect the village in the first place. It made him realize why he had no true belonging in the village or anywhere for that matter. All this pain he felt deep in his heart and he had no one to turn to, he had no true family to turn to. His friends were always too busy to listen to him. Tsunade was tied up in her duties as Hokage. And his teachers were busy with other students to even notice he was there. He was invisible to everyone deep down he knew people like Tsunade and Iruka loved him but it was not enough. He had not true fear of death because he knew deep down Tsunade would help him. Even if he was killed it would be an end to all his pain and torment.
"I did everything I could for this village. I risked my life because you wanted him back! I brought him back. I did all that and this is the thanks I get? What more do you people want? If this is how you treat me then just kill me I would rather die than continue my life!" Naruto yelled at the council
"It is time for the counsel to vote, to see if you will be put to death for your crimes. If you have any last words speak them now demon.: Danzo said still staring down Naruto.
"I can speak all day and I would still not be able to change your minds, but I will say something." Naruto said with deep sadness in his voice. "I did everything for this village. I would have protected this village with my life. It is not the fact I hurt Sasuke It's you guys wanted an excuse to do this to me. Hurting him was enough to put me in this situation. I have done nothing wrong to anyone in this village. I have been completely loyal to a village that has no appreciation for someone like me. It's always about your precious Sasuke. I hope he leaves again and this time does not come back. Maybe then you will realize what I did. I…you know what I'm done talking."
"How dare you speak to us like that demon? If I had my way you would have been killed the day you were born! Or a mindless killing tool." Danzo slammed his fist down and yelled at Naruto.
"I remember how I tried to explain my action yet they did not listen. After all my sacrifice I had giving up that day. I finally accepted death and to be honest I wanted it" Naruto had sadness in his voice. "Even now after all this time I feel deep down I should have died that day. But regardless of everything a small part wants to return and protect them. I know it's crazy but I will always feel like that."
"Naruto they do not deserve your protection. The only way for you to gain respect from them is by showing them the true you and making them pay for what they did to you. They had no right treating you like a monster. I need you Tsunade needs you to be strong. Please do not regress into yourself again. I worked too hard to get you back and I will not lose you to darkness again" Looking into Naruto's eyes and soul Hinata tried to understand his pain. She cupped his cheek in her hand and smiled. She could not help but think how much he has gone through. His eyes shows pain even when he smiles. Over time with his training and constant missions Naruto's appearance had changed. Even his mentality about life had made a complete and surprising change. He was still kind to everyone but he was more stoic and focused.
He no longer had his blue eyes like when he was younger. His left eye was now permanently stuck in its demon form and his right eye was now as black as the moonless sky, it was like looking into a black hole. His hair still spiky but no longer the same shade of blonde it was now darker and appeared to have strands of black hair here and there. He was no taller the Hinata. And his whisker like scares was now thicker and stretched further along his cheeks. His teeth and ears were more fox like then human.
A lot of things changed about Naruto but his kindness and heart remained the same. How he could still be so kind was a mystery to Hinata. Anyone else would have been broken, filled with hate, or dead if they went through what Naruto went through. Even in the face of death Naruto cared for a village that hated him and wanted him to die. It was something that no one could explain even Naruto himself.
Understanding what was about to happen. Trying not to cry Naruto raised his head to look at the villagers he still cared for every one of them even now as they screamed for his death. He knew though he needed to do this for himself but maybe this is how he was supposed to protect them all along.
"If this is what makes you happy then I will happily die here. If this how I am supposed to protect my village then I surrender my life for your happiness."
Every villager was angry, but confused at the same time, they all wanted to see Naruto hang. No one could see past the demon inside Naruto. To the villagers Naruto was not human but the demon himself. It made no sense to then why Naruto was willing ready to die for them. but soon after the confusion ended the anger returned even worse than before.
"KILL HIM"
"YEA KILL HIM"
"BE RID OF THAT DEMON"
Everyone in the crowd was yelling.
With a smile Naruto looked down then spoke. "I hope this is the end of the village's hate and suffering. I hope after my death you all can live happy and peacefully."
"I never asked to be saved I never wanted to start a war. I had come to terms with everything. I wanted to die that day" Naruto was looking at the sky.
"Naruto, that's not fair. You know there are people who would protect you no matter what. Yet even after all these years you somehow find a way to blame us for this"
Naruto looked at Hinata and smiled. She was one of the few he trusted with his life and the only one he wanted to be with right now. He only saw beauty when he looked at her. Naruto though she was the most beautiful person in the world with her long Indigo hair, and beautiful pale lavender eyes. Naruto thought she was perfect.
"Remember what they did to you Naruto. They deserve what they got coming to them and so much more"
"Naruto Uzumaki you are here by sentenced to death."
Naruto stood there with his head hanging down and tears he once cried were now dry as he was ready for what was to come. As a cloth bag was placed over his head and a rope around his neck Naruto could hear the yelling and cheering of every villager. As he was pushed into place he thought to himself. 'I hope this is what I needed to do to bring this village closer. I hope I will get to meet my family in the afterlife.' as he stood there he felt the door under his feet open. As he fell time slowed and every memory of this village was rushing through his head. Every inch he fell seemed like forever, as the rope reached the end a dull thud was heard and Naruto continued to fall until he hit the ground. With his hands tied behind him he could not remove the cloth from his head.
"What is the meaning of this? Who dares interfere with official business" Shouted Danzo "I demand to know what is going on here?"
Everybody looked confused as they wondering how the rope had broken. Then a villager pointed out to everyone that a kunai was stuck in the wood where the rope was. People began to whisper about how other demons came to save Naruto. Others spoke about how it's a sign and they were all going to die.
Soon Naruto was able to stand up and broke the rope tying his hands together. He then removed the bag from his head and spoke. "What is going on here. I don't understand I should be dead."
As Naruto spoke other shinobi including the Hokage emerged from the crowd and stood next to Naruto. "You can't be..." Tsunade began looking at Naruto before being cut off.
"Tsunade how dare you interfere with an execution!" yelled Danzo with hate in his voice.
"The council could strip you of your title and exile you from the village Tsunade."
"No need to you creeps. I step down as Hokage and all of us standing here right now are no longer Konoha shinobi" Tsunade said to Danzo.
The tension around the village was thick and all eyes were on Naruto and Tsunade. The silence was broken when one of the ninja standing next to Naruto spoke.
"Actions speak louder than words and what was done to my friend and student is unforgivable, as his sensei I cannot allow this to happen. Not only because he's my student but because he is the son of my former sensei" Stated Kakashi before turning to Naruto with a smile under his mask.
"I don't understand I did not ask to be saved. I was ready to die. Why would you guys do this? I DID NOT ASK FOR THIS!" Naruto shouted the last part becoming angry.
"Calm down Naruto we will explain everything shortly." Tsunade said placing a hand in his shoulders to calm him.
The villagers looked scared and began to whisper among them. They all knew who Kakashi's former sensei was and if true they knew that a punishment worse than death was among them.
Danzo was angry. "How dare you tell such lies that demon child is not the child of the great Fourth Hokage."
"After your attempt to execute Naruto, I was forced to save him and leave this village. According to laws set by the Fourth Hokage we have no choice but to declare Konoha a fallen village. With that said I will be taking Naruto away from here. I am the direct descendant of the First Hokage and protector of Naruto and the Fourth Hokage's legacy." Tsunade stated holding a scroll in her hand..
"What do you mean fallen village?" A council member asked as she stood up. "Can you even do that?"
"As of today this village is officially striped of its credibility and name. And as the wishes of the Hokage before me I Tsunade am to rebuild a new Konoha in the hope to restore the name of my grandfather and the rest of the Hokage before me? It is all written here in this scroll and signed by the Fourth himself. He would be ashamed to know he protected a village like this one."
Danzo slammed his fist into the table in front of him and yelled. "You have no right to accuse us of disgracing the Hokage. The Demon is the one disgracing their name. He has no right to even be alive."
"How can the son of the Fourth Hokage be a disgrace to the Hokage name?" Tsunade asked
The whole village roared in disagreement with Tsunade. They believed the one responsible for disgracing the villages was Naruto. No villager believed the Fourth would do this to his own son.
"We shinobi that realize the Fourth Hokage's true dream have decided to leave with Naruto and Tsunade" Spoke Ino from the line of ninja.
"The Fourth wanted his son to be seen as a hero not a demon. He wanted the village to love him not hate him." Spoke Neji.
"Love him? How after the demon inside him killed so many!" the village screamed.
"Yes the demon not Naruto he is a person placed with a burden the Fourth would wish on no body. That is why he used his own son." Spoke Shizune.
"Why would he use his own son? It makes no sense that is why he can't be the son of the Fourth Hokage." Another villager yelled.
"The Fourth Hokage was not going to ask someone else to give up their child if he was not willing to give up his own child to save the village." Neji added.
"This is uncalled for you all are out of your minds sticking up for that demon." Danzo was even angrier.
Tsunade stepped forward and made one last announcement. "We are no longer shinobi for this village and this village has lost the right be a ninja village and soon will lose the right to be called Konoha all together."
"WE ARE NARUTO'S PROTECTERS!" they all said at once
Hinata Hyuga, Rock Lee, Neji Hyuga, Kiba, Ino Yamanaka, Choji Akimichi, Shikamaru Nara, Kakashi Hatake, Anko Mitarashi, and Kurenai Yuhi. Shizune and Tsunade were also among them. After Tsunade finished every ninja that once stood in the center of the crowd were now gone.
Naruto looked up one last time at the gates a place he visited often to pray that the gods have mercy on the village. As Naruto turned to leave he grabbed Hinata's hand and began to walk away.
"Hey sensei is this old village. The place those bastards treated you like dirt?" A voice came from the shadows.
"How long have you been here Aki?" Naruto asked with a little annoyance in his voice as he turned to look at a young girl around the age of fourteen.
"Long enough to see you and Hinata flirting. I think it's kind of cute." Aki teased as she walked up to Naruto and Hinata. Aki was a young female short black spiky hair, pale skin with almost maroon eyes. She wore a black shirt that was skin tight and baggy black ninja shorts and normal black ninja sandals. Aki also had her whole right arm and left leg wrapped in bandages.
"We were not flirting. Now I asked you what you were doing here Aki." Naruto said.
"You did not ask me that. You asked how long I had been here. Besides I just wanted to finally see the village we are going to destroy that's all. So is this it your old Village?" Aki asked Again.
Naruto smiled. "Yes this is the village I grew up in but it was more like hell to me."
With that Naruto, Hinata, and Aki walked back to their village. They all knew the next time they returned I would be for WAR.
