Naruto Uzumaki was not one someone anyone should bother, but here was some Chunin idiot, by the name of Izumo, banging on his door shouting about how he has something important to tell Naruto. He had half a heart to rip out the man's heart for lying. Another pet peeve of Naruto do not lie be honest even if you hate the person you are talking to you do not lie when it can be helped. He didn't like to be disturbed that was obvious to everyone in the village and they usually did not bother him. As long as he did not bother them they could pretend like he does not exist and be happier for it. He no longer wore the orange jumpsuit. He was done playing the fool for the idiots who live in Konoha so he would no longer dress like one. In its place he now wore black ANBU pants and a white blank shirt with an unzipped tight gray hoodie over top of the whole ensemble. Naruto had found out what the Uzumaki bloodline was through shear accident he was playing around with Shika and Shika made a face which Naruto mocked and then his own face shifted to match Shikamaru's. While it was not the most epic or world ending of bloodlines it could be useful. He could do a true henge, transforming and changing his body shape, size, and weight. The bloodline even enables his clothes to change, probably because they were made out of once living beings. The true power lies in the ability to go anywhere be anyone so long as he had observed them long enough. Again not overtly powerful but not useless either.
Now this idiot Izumo had told the sorriest excuse of a lie ever, but it could be useful to see where he was going with this. Naruto was told to steal the forbidden scroll and learn a single technique from it in doing so he would be promoted to Gennin. This was something he could definitely do. Naruto had been planning to leave the village as he couldn't become a shinobi thanks to the sabotage of the academy. The fools had tried to hold him back. He had failed three times thanks to them. He had no further ties to this village, ever since Hiruzen Sarutobi died, well he did have one, but she would follow him anywhere, her name was Anko Mitarashi. He had been dating her for a short time now, and she was loyal to him over Konoha because of all the shit that Konoha had tried to pull with her. She knew that Kurenai, Shikamaru's wife would follow her if only to prepare a place where she could be with her husband and not get scorned for being in love and to be with her friend. They got together when Asuma died from a man named Hidan. Shino, his first partner and a little known genius at genetics, and Shikamaru, his other partner with an incredible understanding of pathology, neither had any real ties to the village anymore. Everyone hated them for being close to Naruto. Even their own families were nothing more than bigots and in Shino's case they were hypocrites. Sad that two boys were the only ones that saw past his seal. They were outcasts one by something beyond his control and the other two for doing what is right.
Many things had changed since Naruto did not pass, for one is the fact that Hinata, Sakura, and Kiba died. Naruto was a bit down because he could've used Kiba the boy was loyal beyond question and, he too saw past his seal. They died thanks to one Kakashi Hatake whose fault it is for foolishly taking a mission he shouldn't have with Gennin it was a mission Chunin would have had trouble with even with Hatake's help. He hadn't even taught them water walking yet so he had basically walked them straight to Death's door then opened it and pushed them inside. Even Naruto knew that much, thanks to his godfather Jiraiya. He loved the man like a father, but after Sarutobi died he left Konoha. Danzo was declared regent Hokage. So dark days came faster to Konoha. Danzo's first act was to declare Jiraiya a Missing Ninja stating to the public he had abandoned the village. The truth is he only left to find Tsunade his old teammate he would grieve later of the loss of his teacher now though the village needed someone strong with a hard back bone to be the new Hokage.
Naruto sighed, silently thanking Jiraiya for all the man had done for his fucked up little family over the years. He taught them many things. They secretly met every night and Jiraiya taught all he could as often as he could, to everyone Naruto, Anko, and Kurenai along with Shikamaru and Shino. Naruto smirked as he walked past the Hokage's office and grabbed the scroll. It was just too easy with his stealth abilities. He had to catch himself from yawning man it was too easy. Making his way out of the tower he ran to the forest and opened it. He saw only one thing that interested him, a little recipe for a potion called Kensei Zoukyou, it was said to give the drinker incredible abilities it did this by forcibly and painfully opening the bodies potential effectively speeding up evolution. Being a prodigy at Biochemistry and other sciences, he was very interested. He copied down the recipe and looked inside the scroll, nothing else of interest, now to put it back.
Suddenly he felt his arms being grabbed and cuffed. The last thing he felt was a chop to his neck, before everything went black. Naruto awoke to find himself in his home, but it seemed based on his senses that guards are at the door. He immediatly put two and two together. He walked towards his bathroom and shut the door. He removed the toilet lid and found a small black lever, so small and dark, one couldnt find it unless they knew it was there. He smirked slightly as the floor under his shower moved. He jumped down the hole he made log ago. It led to a tunnel and eventually a labratory, where Jiraiya, Shikamaru, and Shino met every night.
He smiled slightly, noting they were already there, waiting for him. "well guys... I may have found something to this power enhancer we were working on... as you know I stole the forbidden scroll and am probably going to get executed, so I have permanently sealed off my way here from my house. It seems our plans are going to be done much sooner than we thought" Naruto said. They
had been trying to find a formula for power enhancement for years, but had come up short. "Ironically we had the right formula all along, but it seems we weren't using it right we apparently were mixing things in the wrong order." He unsealed the recipe and instructions.
Shikamaru smirked slightly "good... we can have it ready by when?" He wanted it so badly, for many reasons, mostly because he didn't want to be left behind by his only two friends. And by no means was Shikamaru, Naruto, or Shino power hungry, they just wanted to leave, and with this they could.
Kurenai had just been declared an A ranked Missing ninja. Shikamaru knew she would meet him in the sand village. Suna didnt care for Konoha, they hated it, but loved its missing Ninja because no matter how they hate the way Konoha treats their allies it cannot be denied they produce strong nin. They were a perfect base for the moment. Anko had gone with Kurenai secretly, it was assumed she was on a mission, which she was, but she abandoned it. It was time alright. They could leave and take hold of their own destiny.
Jiraiya smirked, Danzo wouldn't be Hokage long. He hated that man, no that thing. He was tempted to kill him, but he couldn't fight all of Konoha, with these three's power enhancer, he could and he would. He would take over Konohagakure and return it to its former glory. He would invite them if they wanted to become Shinobi of the Leaf again, but even he doubted it. They had put too much work into escaping to come back just at the asking.
In three days Shikamaru, Shino, Jiraiya and Naruto had began making it, everything was working, now they were at the last stage, turning it into a high density gas. Naruto had set up a machine, thanks to Shino and Shikamaru helping him. The machine was designed so that it would compress the formula into very dense gas. Naruto was the first to try it. He stepped up to the machine and put the mask on, and
breathed deeply. For about a minute he breathed the stuff. As soon as he breathed normal oxygen he fainted.
Shikamaru, seeing this was a bit reluctant to use it, but knew it just knocked him out. He breathed in for about thirty seconds, before he backed away and coughed slightly "your next Shino." he coughed out. "It's a little hard breathing after you get it into your lungs. That's what knocked Naruto out."
Shino nodded and just as he put the mask on, the unbelievable happened. The gas exploded, destroyed the surrounding area, it was an unbelievably powerful explosion, felt even in Suna, but it was too far underground to be located exactly. Danzo was scared out of his wits, thinking it was the end of the world, along with the council. Hanzo, in Ame paused in his fight with Pein, but that was all it took for the man to kill him. Gaara felt this and shuddered. Madara was at the valley of the end, wondering if this was a bijuu. No one knew the true reason for this explosion, not even the ones in it.
