Chapter 1
Naruto was quietly sneaking into the apartment that he shared with his boyfriend Kakashi. Why was he sneaking in you wonder. Well it was their 2 years anniversary and he wanted to make sure Kakashi was either not in or asleep so he could make him his favourite meal, and he was hoping that he would be able to propose. So naturally he was nervous.
Naruto was currently 18 and a jounin, he could have become ANBU or Hunter Nin anytime he wanted but those were not carrier options that he wanted at the moment. He had changed a lot over the years, he was no longer the short, orange and ramen obsessed boy that ran around declaring that he was going to be Hokage. He was now 6 foot 1 and wore black baggy ninja pants with a black muscle shirt and a black leather trench coat with red nine tailed fox on the back. He had lost all traces of baby fat that he had once had and he was muscular but not overly so. His blond hair with black and red streaks in it was now up in a pony tail that went all the way down to the middle of his back.
He had just set the bag of groceries and jewellery bag in the kitchen when he heard moans and groans coming from the bedroom.
Looking at the door in confusion he edged towards it slowly wondering what the noises could possibly mean. Slowly he opened the door quietly and his heart shattered at what he saw when he looked in. There in his and Kakashi's bed was Kakashi but the person with him most certainly wasn't him (duh). The person that Kakashi was currently pounding into was one of the few people that he looked at like family. Shizune. Not wanting to look anymore lest his heart shatter into even smaller pieces he closed the door quietly as tears streaked down his face. He ran out the apartment, not making even a sound, and ran all the way to the Hokage's office.
He burst through the door, startling Tsunade who was actually working, and ran round the desk as he cried his heart out to his 'kaa-chan' as she made soothing noises and rubbed gentle circles on his back to try to calm the hysterical boy down. Just after he had come running in the ANBU guards came in to see what the noise was all about but promptly ran out when they were faced with a furious glare from Tsunade.
After 10 minutes she managed to calm him down enough that she could speak to him.
"Sochi (son) what's wrong? What happened" Tsunade spoke in a calm and reassuring tone.
Naruto told her about his plan to cook Kakashi dinner and propose to him that night and that when he got into the apartment he found Kakashi in bed with Shizune.
Tsunade was PISSED. Well and truly. She couldn't believe that Kakashi or Shizune would do this, but one look at her 'son' told her that they had.
"K-kaa-ch-chan." Naruto managed to say between sobs.
"Hai Sochi what is it?" She asked as she looked down at him as she held him close to her, not willing to let go of him.
"C-can you g-give me a lo-long term trai-training mission outside the vil-village please? I just don't think that I can be in the village right now; I need some time to myself. Get away from the bad memories I have here." He asked in a soft and broken voice as he started to get his sobs under control.
Tsunade looked down at him in shock and them her eyes softened as she understood that he would need time away from Kakashi and that wouldn't be possible inside the village.
"Alright but you will need food, money, clothes and weapons." She said softly knowing that he would have to get them from his apartment.
"No need I already have them in the sealing tattoo on my arm. I always carry spare weapons clothes food and water incase of emergencies. Kinda lucky, ne." He spoke with a soft teary smile.
"Alright you get off now and I'll send off a slug to give you the scroll so that you have more time to get to the place that you will be going to, kay?" She murmured as she kissed the top of his head affectionately.
"Thanks, kaa-chan." He said as he got up wiping his eyes and gave her the key to his and Kakashi's apartment so she could get his things. "Will you tell Iruka-tou-san that I'm sorry I couldn't stay to say good bye and to tell him what happened."
"Sure Sochi. Be careful and be sure and make sure you write to us both so we know your okay. And show this to the gate guards so they know to let you out." She told him in a motherly tone as she wrote a note, with the Hokage seal, to the gate guards that he leaving on an extended mission and to allow him to exit the gates.
He laughed slightly agreeing to write every month as he took the note. He jumped out the window and made his way to the gates. As Tsunade asked one of the ANBU guards to go get Iruka
20 minutes after Naruto left the apartment Kakashi and Shizune walked out of the bedroom and walked into the kitchen only to freeze at the site of the grocery bags and the jewellery bag.
"That wasn't there before was it?" A half dressed Kakashi asked as he turned towards an equally half dressed Shizune getting a shake of the head as a reply. They walked over to the grocery bag with confused expressions, how and it gotten there when they knew that nobody had been in the apartment while they had been in there, right?
Kakashi opened it only to find all the ingredients that Naruto would use to make Kakashi his favourite food. The sinking feeling he had in his stomach suddenly got a hundred times worse.
NO. Naruto couldn't have been here. Not while we were... I would have noticed I would have felt his chakra. Kakashi thought as he started to panic.
Turning to the jewellery bag he opened with shaky hands, he reached inside and pulled out a ring box. He opened it slowly, inside was a beautifully crafted white, red and yellow gold ring with sapphire and diamond on the top of it (Kakashi's birthday is September 12th and Sapphire is the birth stone for September). It was made so that it could be resistant to wear and tear and would not be easily broken. It was bulky but not overly so, just enough that it would not break and would last.
It was a beautiful ring and you could tell that it must have cost an absolute fortune.
On the inside there was an inscription that read:
'Kakashi you are the light in my darkness. I love you now and forever. X- Naruto.'
Kakashi could feel the twist in his heart. Naruto was here and if he was here then that meant that he had seen him with Shizune which meant…
"Oh shit." Kakashi whispered as horror latched onto his face and terror onto his heart. He ran into the bedroom with Shizune trailing after him as she had come to the same conclusion. They were both fully dressed and out of the apartment in under 20 seconds. They headed straight to Iruka's apartment as they knew Naruto would either go there or to Tsunade. They knocked on the door frantically when they got there. They knocked again, this time disturbing the next door neighbour.
"Is there something wrong?" The lady next door to Iruka asked as she noticed the urgency on their faces.
"Yes, is Iruka in and have you seen a tall blond man with blue eyes come here?" Kakashi asked quickly.
"Sorry no but an ANBU came by about 5 minutes ago with a message for Iruka to go to the Hokage immediately, something about his son I think the ANBU said." The lady replied, then got worried when she noticed the colour leave both of their faces, but before she could ask what was wrong they had shot off in the direction of the Hokage tower.
Dread. That's all he could feel, it had seeped into his heart and soul as he made his way to the Hokage tower.
When they got there they flew up the stairs and straight to the Hokage's office. Before the ANBU could stop them they had barged through the door, what they found was a hysterically sobbing Iruka and Tsunade as she hugged the younger man trying to calm him down from both sadness and righteous fury.
Too bad for Kakashi that he was the cause for his fury and coming into the office at that moment was not a good thing.
As soon as they had gotten through the door they were on the receiving end of 2 very, very pissed glares that would make what the Hyuuga and Uchiha death glares look like an adorable puppy, and that was if they were COMBINED.
The ANBU that were about to remove the 2 people that had interrupted their Hokage promptly ran out the room closing the door after them.
The killer intent (ki) coming off the normally kind and caring academy teacher would make the Kyuubi itself step back in terror.
Shizune and Kakashi had long since lost all colour in their faces but the look on Tsunade and Iruka's face was beyond terrifying. The ANBU outside the tower could easily feel the ki coming from the pair, most of Konoha had stopped because they could feel the killer intent. The rookie nine (minus Naruto of course, Naruto brought back Sasuke), team Gai and other students from the academy and ninja, that had the displeasure of pissing off Iruka, could feel Iruka's ki and everyone recognised Tsunade's.
The rookie nine and team Gai began running towards the source of the ki. Each of them knew that the only thing that could piss off Iruka and Tsunade this much would if someone had done something to Naruto. They all just hoped and prayed that they were wrong because if they had done something to Naruto then the person responsible would be in for a world of pain.
The site that met them as they burst into the Hokage office was off Iruka and Tsunade being held back, by 5 ANBU each, from killing a terrified Kakashi and Shizune.
Tsunade and Iruka were screaming at them as tears streamed down their faces but still they wouldn't stop trying to kill them.
Genma was just coming doing some shopping after being out of Konoha doing an A-rank mission when he felt the killer intent wash over him. He could feel Iruka's mixed with Tsunade's and began running to the source of it.
He got there just after the rookie nine and team Gai. When he saw Iruka he ran over to him and desperately tried to calm him down so he could get a coherent sentence out of him while Jiraiya, who had also been attracted by Tsunade's ki, and Sakura tried to calm Tsunade down.
After over 5 minutes they had managed to calm them down and Iruka had collapsed and was sobbing into Genma's chest, while he rubbed soothing circles on his back to calm him down again, this time from sobbing. Tsunade was in the same predicament but with Jiraiya.
After another 5 minutes they had managed to get them to calm down to small sobs.
"Okay now that you're calm can you tell us what is wrong and why you are trying to kill Kakashi and Shizune?" Jiraiya asked as he let Tsunade pull away from him. She and Iruka glared at Kakashi and Shizune with pure hate.
"That bastard has been cheating on Naruto with Shizune." She spat with as much hate as she could. Which was a LOT. Everyone's eyes went to the size of dinner plates and they all looked Kakashi who was looking down in shame.
That's when all hell broke loose.
Hinata and Neji threw caution to the wind and attacked them but not with Jyuuken, no they wanted them to hurt so they used chakra enhanced slaps, Hinata, and punches, Neji.
Kiba, Shino and Shikamaru, who had had a crush on Naruto for years, were furious, and that would be putting it lightly. And for an Aburame to be pissed and show it meant that he was ROYALLY pissed. They attacked them with anger enhancing their movements.
Sakura, Ino, Sasuke, Choji, Tenten and Lee were shocked, horrified and pissed that they would do something like that to Naruto, who had become the sun in Konoha.
Genma was furious and held onto Iruka tightly; otherwise he knew he would rip Kakashi apart. During the time that he and Iruka had been together Genma had become like a second father to Naruto, after Iruka, and he looked upon Naruto in the same regard as Iruka did.
Kurenai and Asuma were also furious; she knew how good a person Naruto was and how much he had suffered in his life. For Kakashi to have done this to him was appalling.
Gai was shocked, he had never thought that his 'youthful' rival would ever do anything to hurt Naruto, but here he was proven otherwise.
All in all the people in the room were murderous.
Before anyone could get a hit in on the pair and large group of ANBU had burst in the room wondering what the sudden increase of ki was about. Seeing that the large group of people were about to attack Kakashi and Shizune they immediately jumped in to protect them when they noticed who they were.
The group of ANBU managed to stop them from getting hurt, mostly. A chakra enhanced slap from Hinata sent Shizune reeling and a kick to the stomach from Kiba sent Kakashi straight to and though the wall.
By the time they had both collected themselves from the hits the group had managed to be calmed down, barely.
"Where is he?" Kiba asked when they had all managed to stop themselves, with the ANBU's help, from ripping Kakashi and Shizune apart.
"Gone." Tsunade replied. Everyone, except for Iruka who already knew, looked at her in confusion.
"Gone? What do you mean 'gone'." Kiba asked. Not really knowing if he wanted to know the answer.
"Gone as in gone. He wanted to leave so I sent him on a long term training mission at his request." She clarified bluntly.
Kakashi felt his heart stop.
"W-when is he coming back." Kiba asked quietly.
"I don't know." She answered softly. She knew all about Kiba, Shino and Shikamaru's feelings, it's not hard to work out, but apparently she was the only one that had worked it out. "He wanted some time to himself and didn't think that he could be in the village for some time. Too many bad memories. "
Most of the people in the room winched at that. They all knew that at some point in their childhood they had been either hurtful, resentful or just a plain ass, to the blond. He had already told them that he was ok and that he had already forgiven them a long time ago.
Tsunade sat back down in the chair at her desk and began writing Naruto's mission report for his extended training mission and a note telling him when he got back all his things would be in her home and a few ideas for what he should do while he was away.
She rolled the scroll with the small notes on a piece of paper and put it in a cylinder that was used to send messages by bird or summon.
She quickly flashed through hand signs and bit her thumb and summoned a slug, the size of a large cat, in a puff of smoke.
"Take this and give it to Naruto." She said as she strapped the cylinder around the top of the slug, by its head (it was either that or have the slug swallow it and that is just plain gross).
"Hai Tsunade-sama." The slug said in soft voice as it puffed away.
"Iruka I want you to go to Naruto and Kakashi's apartment and take everything that belonged to Naruto and bring it here so we can move it to my home so that when he gets back he will have a place to stay." Tsunade told Iruka.
"Hai Tsunade-sa..." Iruka said but was interrupted by Kakashi.
"He can stay at our home when he gets back I'm not about to throw his things out." Kakashi stated as he levelled a glare at the Hokage.
"No Kakashi he will not be staying with you, you have already done enough damage as it is. I will not allow you to hurt him anymore." She told him levelling her own glare at him, he backed down when the rest of the room, minus Shizune, also glared at him.
"Ts-Tsunade-sama where will he stay, we only have 2 rooms and those are yours and mine." Shizune asked as she looked at Tsunade in confusion.
"Well since you and Kakashi are so well acquainted you can live with him as I do not want you under my roof any longer." Tsunade told her in a sickly sweet tone as she shifted her glare from Kakashi to Shizune, who looked horrified. "Come now Shizune you cannot possibly think that I would want you in my home after what you did to Naruto can you?"
"Bu-But Tsunade-sama..." Shizune said as she began to argue but was cut off by Tsunade as she continued her conversation with Iruka.
"Iruka please go and get Naruto's things and go to this address." Tsunade said as she wrote an address on a piece of paper and the key that Naruto gave her for his apartment and a key from her key chain, for her and Shizune's apartment.
Iruka nodded and moved to the door and was joined by Kiba, Shikamaru, Shino and Neji also went to the door.
"We'll help." Kiba said with Shikamaru, Shino and Neji nodding.
"Now will you all get out so I can do my work." Tsunade said as she looked at each of the people left, glaring at Kakashi and Shizune. Nobody said anything and they each began to leave so they could think about what had happened. Just when Shizune was about to leave Tsunade spoke up. "And I want you to be out of the apartment by the time I get back at 9 or the things that are left will be thrown out." She said in a voice like ice.
"Hai Tsunade-sama." Shizune replied with tears beginning to form at the edge of her eyes.
That was the last day that the sun truly shined in Konoha for a VERY long time.
The next day the news had spread around Konoha about what had happened. Nobody knew who had found out what had happened but someone must have eavesdropped on the conversation.
Probably one of ANBU guards. Tsunade had thought bitterly.
Most of the civilians and a few of the shinobi were celebrating the loss of the 'Demon brat'. They were too busy to notice that the sun had dimmed.
Most of them had congratulated Kakashi and Shizune. One for breaking the demons spell and the other for, as one civilian put it, 'stickin it to the damn demon filth.'
That man is currently in intensive care from a chakra enhanced punch through 3 walls and being thrown around like a rag doll, courtesy of Sakura.
There were many people admitted to the hospital that day courtesy of the rookie nine, team Gai, their senseis (minus Kakashi), Iruka, Genma, Tsunade and many other ninja.
One unlucky ANBU decided to bad mouth Naruto while on guard duty for Tsunade. He was demoted to genin and put on D-rank missions for 7 months, using no chakra.
The next couple of months were hard for the rookie nine, team Gai, their senseis (minus Kakashi), Iruka, Genma, Tsunade and many other ninja. Kakashi was depressed as was Shizune. Though they were now officially dating. By now everyone had noticed the sun wasn't as bright. People were less cheerful, Konohamaru and Iruka and some others began pranking all the people that used to be mean to Naruto or bad mouthed him, now or past.
--------------------*Brake*------------------------------------------------------
Naruto had decided to travel the world and get as many jutsu's as he could from each of the 4 other hidden villages. He already had many from Tsunade as she would give him scrolls to copy the jutsu then learn them from the copy.
His first stop was Kumogakure.
As he approached the village gates he pulled off his Konoha forehead protector so they would not know he was a Konoha shinobi. He walked up to the gates and told them he was a traveller. It was surprisingly easy to get into the village, though he was in another form.
Thank god for mum's kekkei gankai. Naruto thought to himself.
His mother had been a whirlpool shinobi that had survived the 'massacre of blood and water', as it had later been called. She was called Kushina Uzumaki and had died due to complications in child birth. The kekkei gankai he got from her was the ability to shape shift, the power to literally become whatever he wanted. All that was required was that you had to have seen and come into contact with whatever it is that you want to shape shift into. He had also gotten a second summoning scroll from his mother. It was the ability to summon dragons. The boss was a kind old dragon that reminded Naruto of Sarutobi-jiji, but don't let that make you think he was weak. He was the boss of the dragons for a reason; the dragons had always been revered as one of, if not the most powerful summon to have ever existed. It is said that the Sage of the six paths also summoned dragons. The contract had thought to have been lost many years ago.
Naruto didn't know who his father was but he did know that he got his other kekkei gankai from him. It was the ability to use psionic powers, telekinesis, telepathy, empathy that sort of thing. He knew that he was a Konoha shinobi. He had been told that he couldn't have his father's scrolls till he was 20, why it was that and not by the time he got to be jounin he didn't know.
He was only adept in his kekkei gankai but was determined to have mastered them by the time he returned to Konoha.
By the time he had stopped thinking he was just outside the Kage building. He was about to go in when he heard a crash from down to the left of him. Deciding to check it out he started walking down the alleyway that opened up into a road that went down into an area that was deserted. The open area was what looked like a training ground.
As he moved towards the training area he could sense the distinct presence of demonic chakra. Speeding up he reached the edge of the training ground to find two men in black robes with red clouds on them. Fighting a woman with long blonde hair tied up into a pony tail. She had slanted green eyes catlike eyes and thin lips, she wore a black and purple long sleaved top with the top half being black and the bottom half being purple and tight black pants with black shinobi sandals. She looked to be about 23 and was 5 foot 10.
Akatsuki. He thought with venom.
The 3 had just jumped away from each other when Naruto decided to jump in. The only reason the Akatsuki would have to corner someone and attack them would be if they were a Jinchuuriki or if they were worth a large amount of money.
Added to the demonic chakra he was going to guess she was a Jinchuuriki. When he had landed in-between the 2 Akatsuki and the winded Jinchuuriki they all looked at him with confusion.
(I am going to assume that you know all of the Akatsuki members and what they look like because I am too lazy to describe them all to you, though I will describe the Jinchuuriki, all of them but Naruto (obviously), Yugito and Gaara will be my own characters.)
"Who the hell are you?" Hidan asked loudly as he propped his scythe on his shoulder.
Naruto just smirked as he reverted back to his original form. He wore baggy black ninja pants with many pockets for scrolls and other knickknacks. He wore a form fighting black Chinese top that had a white flame wrapping around his torso. He wore black fingerless glove with the red kanji for 9 on the back, he wore black combat boots with steel toe caps to add in an extra kick to his kicks. His hair was tied up in a pony tail that went into a plait that ended just above his midback. He also wore his black trench coat with the nine tailed fox on the back and his Konoha headband was tied around his upper left arm.
"Ah the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki." Kakuza said with little interest, catching the attention of the woman that had just been fighting them.
"Good now we can show up the Uchiha and fish face when we bring back the Jinchuuriki that they couldn't." Hidan said with a superior smirk.
Naruto smirked back at him, his eyes hardening into ice and his face turning to stone as he readied himself for the fight to come.
"On the contrary you will not be leaving here alive." Naruto told the 2 Akatsuki members, his voice sending shivers up even their spines with how cold it sounded but the thing that scared them was the well hidden fury. Probably at the fact that they were after the other Jinchuuriki like him.
"We can't die brat so there is no way you could kill us." Hidan retorted, that superior smirk still on his face.
"Well from what I know from spy networks. Hidan is a true immortal, blessed by his god, so all I have to do is cut him into many tiny little pieces or destroy every cell in your body and for Kakuza I just have to destroy your 5 hearts." Naruto mused loudly.
Kakuza's and Hidan's eyes widened at the fact that he knew about how they stayed alive and ways to kill them.
"You're well informed." Kakuza said with narrowed eyes.
"Well when there is an evil organisation after you that want a giant puff ball that lives in your stomach you usually are well informed about who is after you and what they can do." Naruto told them with a smirk as he heard the Kyuubi's whining that he wasn't a puff ball.
"You sure are brave to call the strongest of the bijuu a 'puff ball.'" Kakuza spoke in his dead tone.
"Well when you talk to him from the age of 6 you make names for things at such a young age and they usually stick. Hence the name puff ball." Naruto explained.
"Enough talking, more fighting." Hidan said getting anxious.
"Good idea." Naruto spoke, not once taking his eyes off the 2. "What your name lady?"
"Yugito Nii." The blond haired lady spoke between pants.
"Alright Yugito go rest by the wall to your right behind the pillar." Naruto told her.
"What about you?" She asked with concern showing in her vice.
"I'm gunna wipe the floor with Kakuza while a friend of mine will deal with Hidan." Naruto said with a smirk directed at the 2 Akatsuki as he made some hand seals, bit his thumb and pressed it onto the floor with a quite cry of 'Kuchiyose no jutsu' creating a puff of red smoke that obscured Naruto and Yugito from view as she dashed to the pillar and hid behind it.
"Summonings wont do squat against us." Hidan spoke up arrogantly, that is until the smoke dispersed and they saw what had been summoned.
