Chapter 1: The lie

Naruto stood at the gate of Konoha in the middle of the night with some things he packed.

(Flashback…)

(Naruto's POV)

'Another stupid mission with them.' I thought. I'm Uzumaki Naruto, now eighteen. I just came back from a mission and now walking home along the streets of Konoha, the hidden village of the Leaf.

As I walked, the villagers sent me glares, not even someone who smiled at me. After 3 minutes of walking, I reached the apartment that I have been living all my life.

I headed straight for the kitchen – I'm hungry! So I found my miso ramen and cooked it, of course. Grr… 1 minute… 2 minutes… 3 minutes!!! YAY!!! The ramen's cooked!!!

Due to my hungriness, I slurped down the ramen within only 2 minutes. Next, I went to the bathroom, to bath. I winced when the water rushed down to my wrist. I looked at it. There are deep cuts on it.

' Why are there wounds?' I thought.

' I remember now… I cut them myself using the kunai. Why? Hmm… Ah! I remember now, it's because of those fucking villagers. Hell! I'm not the Kyuubi! She's just sealed in me!!! I really can't stand it. Forget it! I'm going to leave Konoha tonight! I'll just leave a note for those that I know. But to where?' I continued thinking.

I quickly finished my bath, packed some things and wrote a note. Using my ninja skills, I leaped to the gates of Konoha.

(Normal POV)

" Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Technique)." He called out softly. A clone appeared. The clone leaped back to a tree near the bridge where Team 7 gathers in the morning, waiting for the always-late Kakashi. While on the other hand, the real Naruto leaped to the forest.

(With the real Naruto…)

Naruto leaped deep into the forest, in the direction of the Hidden Village of the Sand. When the sun was up, the climbed onto a tree branch and took a nap. Unknown to him though, two men had been following him…

(With the clone…)

Looking down, he saw that Sakura had arrived on the bridge, followed by Sasuke minutes later. Waiting for a few minutes, the clone made his way to the bridge. He began to walk towards the bridge, being the usual last one.

" Ohayo Sakura-chan, Sasuke-teme. " The clone greeted cheerfully. " Ohayo, Naruto." Sakura greeted " Hn." Sasuke replied. The three rookies waited for two hours for Kakashi to turn up.

" Yo! I just got lost in the- " Kakashi started." SHUT UP! YOU ARE ALWAYS LATE AND TELLING EXCUSES WITH A SMILING FACE!!!" Sakura and the clone screamed. Sasuke looked so pissed off that he was about to be the one who killed his clan.

' Those kids are really angry today…' Kakashi thought, secretly smiling under his mask. " Alright then, lets go to the Hokage tower and get our mission." And Team 7 began walking to the Hokage tower.
