Chapter 1: A Banished Fox


Naruto had just had the battle of his life not too long ago. A battle with his so called 'best friend' Sasuke Uchiha. The two had went at it with so much will and determination to win in the Valley of the End that it was a miracle neither killed each other somehow. Even Kakashi was surprised by this when he arrived too late. He couldn't find Sasuke, but he did find an unconscious Naruto laying there, bleeding from an open wound to the chest. Kakashi couldn't understand at first. Why would Sasuke use that jutsu to try and kill Naruto? Despite everything those two had been through, the ups and downs and even the arguments, Kakashi thought beyond a shadow of a doubt that the two were brothers-in-arms no matter what. Naruto's bleeding body being carried by the copy ninja told him otherwise. Kakashi was sent out there to also retrieve Sasuke, but arrived too late to do so. If he knew anything for sure, he knew that somehow, the council would find some way of punishing Naruto for all of this.

As the silver haired man finally reached the gates of Konoha, he quickly hurried to the hospital to get Naruto treated. Not to his surprise, most of the retrieval team had been sent to the hospital as well. Shikamaru was waiting on a chair outside the emergency room when Kakashi came in. When he saw the trail of blood, his heart sank at the thought of how he nearly got his entire team killed.

Kakashi brought Naruto to the emergency room and then quickly headed out to inform Tsunade. He dreaded what she would think of all of this. The mission failed, Sasuke as a traitor, and the team aside from Shikamaru nearly killed. She was gonna have a field day with this.

As Kakashi was headed to see Lady Hokage, Naruto was being operated on. In his own mind, he played everything out over and over again. Sasuke had tried to kill him more than once, and even came extremely close a few times. If the open wound, nearly a fist sized hole in his chest gave off any indication of Sasuke's motivation. Naruto couldn't believe how far his teammate had fallen in the quest for power and revenge. It was sickening to the blonde at how much Sasuke was praised only for him to shove it back in everyone's face. How could he do this to a village that's bent over backwards for him? He just threw it all away for some revenge plan? In Naruto's opinion, that was a very foolish mindset, throwing away everything for revenge.

"Hey, kit." That deep voice rang through his ears again like before. It sounded a little less sinister this time though. Almost calming really. "Open your eyes kit."

Naruto did as he was told and slowly opened his eyes with some strain. When he fully opened them and focused, he saw that he was in some kind of sewer of some kind with a large gate in front of him. Though, it wasn't the surroundings or the gate that made the blond go wide eyed. No, it was what was inside that gate. A large, red fox.

The nine-tailed fox.

Naruto immediately leapt to his feet only to realize that the floor was mainly water. He looked at the fox with fear plastered on his face, yet that stopped when he noticed the look in the foxes eyes. It wasn't the look of a demon who craves destruction and death, but just a being who looked concerned for someone.

"You can relax kit." The fox started in a regular like tone. "You know something kit, if I hadn't have jumped in then and there, you would've died. You know that right?"

Naruto relaxed when he heard the foxes words. It was true. If it hadn't stepped in, then he would be dead from that Chidori through his chest.

"So." Naruto started with a look of confusion. "Why did you save me then?"

The fox still had a saddened look to its face as it thought of the answer to that question for a bit. True, if Naruto died then it would die, but for the fox there was more to it than that. A somewhat deeper connection of sorts that its never felt with any of its other vessels before. A sorrow that could be felt with the both of them while also a small ray of hope as well. It connected the two together in a way that even it didn't understand.

With a sigh, the fox lowered its head and averted its gaze away from Naruto. The blond didn't know why, but he could feel the sorrow coming from the fox spirit.

"Well, whatever the reason." Naruto started, causing the fox to wince, thinking that its jailer would do what the others would do. "Thank you."

The nine-tailed fox opened its eyes quickly and turned to Naruto, surprised that the boy thanked it. Before it could say anything, Naruto felt himself waking from wherever he was. He faded away from the fox and left it to ponder just what kind of vessel Naruto was, and how different he was from the others.

Hospital Room, A Week After The Mission

Naruto felt himself stir from sleep and opened his eyes slowly. He was quickly met by sunlight that was coming into his room and groaned. He covered his eyes with his right hand and noticed very quickly of how heavily taped his arm was. The medical tape stretched all the way from his palm and wrist to his elbow. He sat up from his bed and winced slightly at his still banged up body.

Upon further inspection of his body, Naruto could tell that most of his body was bandaged up from the Chidori and the scratches and cuts from his battle with Sasuke. Naruto really had to thank the fox for its healing abilities. if it weren't for that, then Naruto probably wouldn't have made it even halfway to Konoha. Aside from those wounds and the bandages from using a very powerful and dangerous Rasengan, Naruto was actually alright.

He looked around for any sign of a doctor or any of his friends in the room. To his surprise there was no one there to watch him. This reminded him a bit of his childhood whenever he was sent to the hospital by an Anbu. Whenever he would wake up there was no one there to check on him or ask if he was okay in any way. Now was feeling vaguely like before.

Naruto decided to get up off the bed and move around a bit to loosen his stiff muscles. Who knows just how long he was out. He moved his arms and legs a bit to get some feeling back into them before heading to the window to see the village. It was another bright and sunny day in Konoha. People were going about their daily lives as if nothing bad has happened. Naruto was at least happy to see that people weren't going off about their precious Sasuke being a traitor. Though, with Naruto's knowledge of how the villagers tend to act, the blame was probably gonna be put on him somehow.

As Naruto leaned down on the windowsill, he failed to hear the door open and a masked Anbu to enter. The Anbu was a woman in a neko mask and purple hair that was tied up at the moment. She saw that Naruto was up now and visible tensed up. She knew what her job was to do and dreaded every bit of it. Taking a deep breath, the Anbu spoke.

"Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto turned to see her standing in the doorway and jumped a bit from her sudden appearance in his room. "As soon as you are able, your presence is needed in the council meeting."

Before Naruto could even say an 'okay' the Anbu was gone in a shunshin. That was a red flag right there. Naruto decided to shrug it off and get himself ready to be yelled at by this council yet again. He didn't hate the council, surprisingly enough, he just hated that they blamed him for many things in the village. A few of them have even taken part in a previously annual 'Fox Hunt' years ago when Naruto was kicked out of the orphanage. Those were dark days that Naruto were glad that was long behind him.

It took a while, but Naruto was finally able to get out of the hospital and get into some of his comfortable clothes. His jacket that he wore when he arrived was shredded now, so he just tied around his waste while wearing his normal clothes and headband around his neck to hide some bandages. As Naruto left the hospital and took in the fresh air, he couldn't help but think more than a few eyes were on him wasn't an uncommon thing to the blond, but he hasn't felt like people were staring at him with hate for a while now. As he walked down to get to Hokage tower, he felt as if he was a child again with the way he actually saw people looking at him. Deciding to shrug it off, Naruto just continued on to get this over with and get some ramen later on. He would have to talk to his friends and sensei later unless he ran into them at some point.

"I can't believe that demon brat let Sasuke leave." One person whispered to another as Naruto passed them.

"I know. If anything, I really wish the Uchiha could've killed that monster and rid us all of it." Another whispered.

"When I heard that he was still somehow alive and lost the Uchiha, I just wanted to smother the little demon for it." Another whisper.

"Well, he is hurt now. So why don't we just finish him off?"

"Because then that old bitch of a Hokage would have us executed ."

"Hmph."

"Seeing that demon walking around, knowing that he's the reason that Sasuke is lost to us makes me so mad."

The whispers were starting to get a little louder now for Naruto to hear clear as day.

"He should die."

"It's all his fault."

"The demon should just disappear."

"Something like him shouldn't exist in our village."

"Maybe we should do another Fox Hunt this year."

Naruto's happy mood shifted to depressed when he heard the various comments he hadn't heard in nearly a year. He had long since thought that maybe the villagers were starting to look at him a ninja and started to respect him in the slightest, but with this one act, that was no more. Naruto didn't want to hear anymore and just ran off to get this meeting over with and go home to rest.

Council Meeting

Tsunade had just been informed about Naruto's recovery and soon arrival to the meeting. She went wide eyed and hated what she had no choice but to do now. If she knew Naruto, she knew that he would be torn up about what was about to happen to him. She looked around to the shinobi council and saw a mixture of anger and sadness. It was understandable since most of their children were good friends with the jinjuriki in the first place. Seeing the look on the boys face when he was told this will haunt them for a long number of days.

She then looked to the civilian council and was appalled by the smirks and satisfied glares they had. It sickened Tsunade that these people were the main reason that Naruto's life was such hell when he was only a frightened child. If Tsunade had her way, many of those council members would suffer by her hands.

Her angry thoughts were shattered though when Naruto walked through the door. She looked over to the boy and paled upon his entry. That was another red flag to Naruto. Tsunade never paled to anything unless it was horrible news.

Naruto stood in front of the council and waited to hear just what they planned on doing about the failed Uchiha recovery mission.

"Genin Naruto Uzumaki." Tsunade started after a couple of minutes of waiting. Naruto didn't say anything and just looked at her with those bright blue eyes of his. "I'm so sorry Naruto." She thought before continuing. "Because of your failure in retrieving Sasuke Uchiha, and nearly getting your team killed, you are hereby-" She hesitated for a few seconds before taking a deep breath and continuing again. "banished from Konohagakure."

Naruto went absolutely wide eyed as his jaw dropped to the floor. He couldn't form any words to describe how he felt towards this. Anger? Betrayal? Hatred? Sadness? Denial? He didn't know. All he knew was that Tsunade hated having to say those dreaded words and the shinobi council hated hearing them. He turned to the civilian council and saw their satisfied looks and disgusted glares as he processed this whole thing.

"You have until ten a.m. tomorrow to pack your things and leave the village, or you will be met with force." Tsunade said as she looked away from his sad eyes. Those eyes he made would haunt her dreams for the rest of her life now.

Naruto still couldn't say anything. He just couldn't. There were still no words to describe this feeling, this emptiness he had long thought was filled was now blank once again. Holding back tears, Naruto turned slowly as he walked back towards the door and left the room. Tsunade wanted to go and console him, but was stopped by one of the elders with the bandages around his face. She could only watch as Naruto's world came crashing down around him over the sake of one traitorous brat.

As Naruto waled with the same wide eyed look back to his rat-hole of a home, his mind still couldn't process all of this.

"What just happened?" He thought to himself. First the villagers were back to talking down on him, now he was banished because he failed to bring back a traitor? He was loyal to this village for his entire life. He stayed here with the hope of one day becoming Hokage and earning everyone's respect. No matter how hard the beatings, the near-deaths, the tortures he went through, or any other harsh treatment he had from these people, he was always loyal. Then one failed mission to bring back this villages precious 'loyal' Uchiha and he was banished? That made no sense to him in the slightest.

As he walked on with his stiff and still shocked expression, he could still hear the villagers bashing him. Of the various insults and hurtful remarks towards him, one word kept coming up. 'Demon'. That word was said to him for as long as he remembered. That word carried too much volume in how much it hurt him. To be called a demon when he's done nothing to truly hurt anybody was the worst part of it all.

As he finally made it to his 'home', he went up to room and closed the door. After he did that, he slumped to the floor and the tears he held in were let out along with a scream.

"Why? Why did this happen to me?" He thought to himself as he continued to sob into his hands. "Why? Why? Why? Why?"

"Because of me." That deep voice was back and quickly got Naruto's attention as he noticed he was back in that sewer again. He looked up to the fox and saw that it had a saddened expression to its face. "I'm so sorry Naruto. If it wasn't for me then this village wouldn't have treated you like this." Its voice was getting lighter and a little higher now. "If only it was someone else. If only it didn't have to be you, then you could've lived a normal life." Its voice started sounding higher pitched, almost feminine like. "Its all my fault and your suffering for it."

Before it- no- she could continue, Naruto stopped her. "You're a girl?"

She stopped when she realized her actual voice came out. With a sigh, she nodded to him. "Yes I am Naruto. I have been for my entire life." She looked down in shame almost. "That's not important now. What is important is that I'm sorry for all the horrible things I've caused to happen to you because of me being sealed inside you. It's all my fault that they're kicking you out of your home."

Naruto stopped his sobbing at the phrase 'your home'. He thought about it for a moment. "You know. I used to look in the windows of other people's houses when I was younger." She looked back to him.

"I remember."

"I always looked at how the parents would treat their kids with love and compassion." He continued. "I wanted something like that. I wanted to feel that warmth and love from others. I was a five year old living on the street with people from this village looking down at and beating me for just existing." He took a few breaths before continuing. "I thought at the time that everyone was like that in the world, but then the first time I ever truly left the village and went to Wave, I saw how wrong I was. Those people, Tazuna, Inari, his mother, they all treated me with kindness even before I helped save them from Gato." He looked back up to her and she was surprised by the look of determination back in his eyes. "I think now I really get it."

"Get what Naruto?"

He stood up and wiped away his tears before looking back up to her. "That a place where everyone constantly hurts you is no home at all."

The fox chuckled a bit before speaking to him again. "So what are you going to do kit?"

Naruto smiled up at her and answered. "I'm gonna leave this village forever, become stronger than anyone and carve out my own destiny far away from this hell."

She smiled at him and stood on her haunches. Naruto got a full look at her as she stood there. "Then to atone for the pain I've caused you all your life, I'll do whatever I can to help you Naruto."

He smiled up at her. "Thanks. I still don't know what to call you though."

She smiled again at her and leaned down. "For now, call me Kyuubi."

With that, Naruto smiled at Kyuubi before he was returned to his room. His resolve was strengthened and he stood up. Looking around his horrible room, Naruto deiced it was time. He grabbed a backpack and started to fill it with clothes and equipment for himself before glancing out the window. To his surprise, it was now night time and a full moon was out. He also spotted lanterns and heard people cheering about something. Upon closer inspection he could tell that word of his banishment must've got out and the villagers were celebrating. That was the last straw. That was when Naruto knew without a shadow of a doubt that this place was never his home.

Now in disgust, Naruto decided to pull on last prank on this village for all the suffering and pain they put him through.

It took some time and a lot of sneaking around, but Naruto was finally able to set up the explosive tags around his home and fireworks around the festival. Before he lit them, he had a few things he had to do.

First was dropping off his headband that Iruka gave him. Since he was banished now, he wouldn't need it anymore. He dropped it off at the academy with a note next to it on Iruka's desk. Last thing he wanted was to confront his former sensei about this whole thing.

Next was the necklace Tsunade gave him. His dream of becoming Hokage died now so he might as well return this to her desk as well. To his surprise, she wasn't in her office nor was anyone else. So he left it along with a note as well.

Last was seeing his friends one last time, but that was a mistake. He searched for them only to find that a few were actually at the festival. Sakura, Ino, Choji, Shikamaru, Kiba, Shino, Ten Ten, and even Neji and Lee were there.

They seemed to be enjoying themselves there at the 'Fox Festival', unaware that said fox boy was watching them. That was it. There was no other reason to stay in this place anymore. Naruto gritted his teeth and activated both tags and the fireworks and watched as everyone panicked. It was satisfying to see the angered and confused faces of the people on last time.

With that, Naruto left the area and went to the gate. He had no idea where he was going or what he was going to do, but one thing was for sure, he would never return to this village. He would keep his promise to become stronger than anyone, and with Kyuubi's help, he can live free and happy.

With that thought in mind, Naruto left the village to make a name for himself and to carve his own destiny.
