The dragged his bruised and broken body toward the gate, leaving a watery blood trail behind the body as the cold rain pelted the earth around the mob, the sky was painted grey and black with thundering clouds as lightning struck over the village. As the young boy was dragged toward the gate through the mud the mob around were screaming curses and spitting at him, some even went as far as to piss on him and push his face down into the dirt alongside the frequent beatings on the way to the gate.
The boy in question had spent the last hours being tortured to the breaking point, his mouth had been stitched closed with ninja wire, his arms and legs were broken if not shattered he had his hands severely burnt as kunai through his palms which were being used to drag the boy through the mud, the lashed cuts on his back filling with dirt.
The boy had tears of blood rolling down his face uncontrollably as he tried in vain to escape the crowd he looked around as people spat down upon him and booted him in the face before they stopped and threw him out of the gate before he was assaulted with heavy stones and even a kunai or two. As the doors slowly started to close, with the villages pushing them shut, the boy tried to scramble to his feet, knowing he didn't stand a chance he just lay there and wept tears of blood.
Inside there were cheers and applause as villagers ran through the streets with bloodlust clear in their hearts.
"It has finally been disposed of! The beast has been dealt with; rejoice for the Yondaime's work has been finished!" a random villager yelled as the villagers around him cheered in agreement.
But their partying and merrymaking soon came to a horrifying end as a blood curdling scream of agony erupted from outside the village, turning into a deep rumbling roar or pure intense hatred and rage. The killer intent could be tasted by everyone closest to the gates as if their mouths had actually started to bleed an intense amount of putrid tasting gore. Those who had felt the Kyuubi's intense presence several years ago instantly took in a sharp breath as they turned pale.
The roar echoed off the Hokage monument and shook the very earth.
Konoha council chambers
"And so I propose a ..." the speaker stopped short of the roaring sound that echoed loudly through the village.
Sarutobi's stood immediately "ALL ANBU UNITS TO THE GATE IMEDIATLY!" he shouted as he himself used a Shunshin to get to the gate.
As Sarutobi's appeared before the gates, he noticed the messy blood trail that lead out of the gates and ordered they be opened immediately as he moved quickly toward them. As they opened Sarutobi's eyes widened in shock, horror and shame for the boy that had been beaten, abused and treated like he were a monster.
He had been beaten into submission and dehumanised and now he had become what the villagers had driven him to be, he had become a shell of his former self, sitting there in the mud, blood pooling in his eyes as his elongated canines shone even in the gloom of the weather, his whisker scars were far more defined like red tattoos and his eyes had turned a deep crystal purple-blue with the under lids of his eyes the same dark red as his whiskers. His hair was wilder and a little longer than before.
"What have they done to you Naruto ..." Sarutobi asked in a whisper to himself as he slowly approached the crouching boy who was staring him down, baring his fangs at the aged Hokage.
"They want me out of the village .... Fine.... I'll leave them to rot in their own ignorance ... they have cast me out and for that they will pay!" came the quiet voice of Naruto who turned and leapt away quickly into the forest.
"ANBU ... follow him and bring him back unharmed, I do not want you to use excessive force at all, we need to find out what happened" the Hokage ordered as he turned to look away.
"Naruto ... I'll make them pay for what they did to you" Sarutobi's looked back toward the forest before he walked back into the heart of the village which would soon become a bloodbath if he didn't get answers he had already decided for the next week, Konohagakure no Sato was now a dictatorship and he was taking full control, with the council being advisor's holding absolutely no power of him or his decisions, too long had he been used as a door mat by the elders and Danzo.
Konoha council chambers
"I do believe it's time for a change in leadership, Sarutobi may be a good leader but the man is not firm! We need to elect a new Hokage!" Stated a heavily mummified man, he stared at the rest of the councillors.
"Oh it's time for change ... and I will have change" the Hokage stated as he entered the council chambers, ending the argumentative discussions that had ensued after his departure.
"Hokage-sama ..." stated the same man.
"Can the pleasantries Danzo" Sarutobi spoke as he took his seat once more.
"As I was saying, it's time to elect a new Hokage" Danzo stated.
"I'm not nearly finished with this shit hole to pass the torch on" the old man stated aloud. This gained gasps from around the room, of all people to curse it was the Hokage who swore and it never was good if Sarutobi's resorted to cursing.
"Excuse me? Hokage-sama could you please keep your language in check in the chamber of the council please" Danzo asked first as he turned to look at the Hokage.
"Who the fuck do you think you are to order me... I'm the Hokage here, not you and if I have anything to say about it you never will be, as of now this village is a dictatorship and I'm taking control of everything!"
"Sarutobi, you can do that we have rights!" Koharu stated loudly with anger.
"Not anymore you do not, this is MY village and I will run it as I see fit" Sarutobi's stated firmly.
"This is an outrage! You cannot do this!" a civilian councilman stated, just before his body slumped against his desk with a kunai protruding through his forehead.
"Damn he's still got it" stated a certain lazy Nara clan head quietly to his team mates as he nodded with a slight smirk.
"From now on it will be the council's primary function to advise me, not decision making unless I say otherwise ... understood?" Sarutobi's said loudly.
"Now, there has been an incident involving the Assault of one Uzumaki Naruto that I would like to bring to attention" Sarutobi's stated while taking out his pipe.
"Not this crap again!" came the harsh voice of Fugaku Uchiha.
"It just so happens that some of your clansmen aided in the assault of the boy, Fugaku and I'm telling you now that it won't go unpunished, I will be seizing a portion of the Uchiha clans assets, including the military police and the kitsune summoning contract, I'll let you deal with those who are to blame for your loss of power"
To say Fugaku was upset was an understatement; he was absolutely seething with anger.
"Hiashi ... I think I can count on you and your clan to run the military police from here on out" Sarutobi's said adding insult to injury for the entire Uchiha clan.
"Of course Hokage-sama" Hiashi replied with a slight smile.
"I do have one condition though ... you must rid your clan of that abominable curse seal" Sarutobi's said as he stared at Hiashi.
"Consider it gone, Hokage-sama" Hiashi stated with an even larger smile.
"Good, the meeting is over, oh and Danzo, your off the council" Sarutobi's said with a bright smile to the mummified bastard.
