And, just to let you all know what the main pairing is going to be, it's gonna be a Naruto/Temari story.

"My successor and the next Hokage is going to be…" Naruto's beautiful azure eyes were so full of hope that it broke her heart as she then finished the sentence, "Uchiha Sasuke."

Naruto's face faulted as his eyes lost their usual sparkle and his head drooped down as he then walked back through the crowd as he heard the villagers laughing at their demon who's dreams were crushed.

"Did you really think that they would make you Hokage?!"

Naruto continued walking his bangs covering his eyes as he continued walking towards his apartment, he could hear his crush Sakura gushing over Sasuke the traitor who left to gain power from Orochimaru. His mind was in disarray as he continued walking to his apartment while enduring the village's taunts, he felt more and more of the life he thought he knew fall apart as he reached his apartment but someone was standing at his door. A young woman with sandy-blonde hair and deep silver/violet orbs stared at him with sadness.

Naruto narrowed his eyes at the person and asked, "What the hell do you want?"

The woman said, "I heard what happened, Naruto. I'm sorry."

Snorting, Naruto said, "Don't be sorry. Be sorry for those assholes who would rather give that fucking traitor the title of Hokage than the 'demon child' who saved this village from your brother, Temari."

Smirking, Temari said, "They just went with who they thought was the one who stopped Gaara."

Staring at the blonde, Naruto said, "And it's their decision that's gonna get them killed one day."

Rubbing her neck slightly, Temari asked, "Why don't you leave Konoha, Naruto?"

Blinking, Naruto said, "And give them the pleasure of making me a nuke-nin? Over my dead body."

Getting a thoughtful look on her face, Temari asked, "Then, what about quitting the shinobi life?"

Seeing the confused look on his face, Temari said, "I don't know if this applies to Konoha, but in Suna, if a shinobi wished to leave the village and not become a nuke-nin, then they would have to sign papers stating that he or she is quitting the shinobi life."

Getting the same thoughtful look on his face, Naruto asked, "And if he or she makes a new shinobi village?"

Standing straight up, Temari said, "You know, I honestly don't know."

With a fox-like smirk, Naruto said, "I have an idea then."

Seeing that Temari was curious about his idea, Naruto said, "I still need to see if it's possible first, Temari. I'll be right back."

Turning away, Naruto walked off. But, before he got too far, the Kyuubi container tossed a set of keys to Temari, saying, "Make yourself at home."

With that said, Naruto disappeared into the night. Naruto was walking through the forest of Konoha with no emotion visible in his person as he then felt the familiar chakra of his former sensei, Hatake Kakashi.

He turned towards the silver-haired man as he then asked, "What do you want Hatake-san?"

The silver-haired man as usual had out his orange book and answered, "I was just following you on your sulking from losing the title of Hokage to Sasuke…You knew that there was never a competition for he has always been the strongest out of you two but you should focus on protecting the village and you don't have to be Hokage to do that."

Naruto's eyes widened and then they narrowed in silent fury and instead of retaliating like Kakashi hoped so he knew that he was the same Naruto, he just laughed a humorless, cruel, bitter, and angry laugh.

"You really think I care about this stupid title anymore? I really don't care about the title of Hokage this village's protector?" Naruto continued to laugh not noticing the concerned and a little tense look as Naruto then walked away still laughing bitterly.

Kakashi then teleported to Tsunade's office where the woman was crying over her desk and Shizune of to the side petting Tonton sadly as the 5th Hokage asked, "How is he Kakashi?"

The one-eyed scarecrow then told her, "I tried to make him see that he didn't have to be Hokage to protect this village and tried to get him feel he needed to compete with Sasuke to see who is the better protector though Sasuke gets the title but he laughed and not his normal laugh but a bitter and angry laugh that chilled me to the bone."

Tsunade's eyes saddened and she was about to ask another question when there was a knock at the door, "Come in."

The door opened to reveal no other than Naruto with black traveling clothes and his ninja weapons still visible, a black bag on his back which looked full and the one thing that was noticeable of all was Naruto's headband that was hanging limply in his hand.

Naruto tossed the headband on Tsunade's desk as he then smiled a very bitter smile, "I quit."

He then turned to walk out the building but was stopped by Tsunade, "What do you mean? Have you given up your dream of gaining this village's respect? I thought that you wanted to protect this village with your life? Even without the Hokage title you can still-"

Naruto's eyes narrowed and killer intent rolled off him in waves, "No! I will not protect this village that doesn't want me! I will not continue to live the lies that I have been forcing myself to believe! I hate this village and everyone in it! You have all ridiculed all my life, looked past me, ignored me, beat me, mob me, nearly kill, I save this village a million times, but who cares about that."

Naruto then put his smile back on the smile that they all recognize before saying, "I will torment myself by falling for your fruitless plans to keep me protecting Konoha…I will not disgrace myself by becoming a missing-nin…I am quitting as a Shinobi of leaf for I don't want to be of leaf…I am leaving and I am going to travel and find my reason for existence."

He then looked at all of their faces and laughed letting Tsunade and Shizune get a taste of the shiver that rolled down Kakashi's spine before as he then said, "One day Konoha will be in a tight spot and I won't be there to help it…as I never will be."

With that he disappeared and left the three adults in the room stunned when ANBU ran in ready to fight whatever made that killer intent, Tsunade looked at them with a anger mark on her forehead and then she sighed sadly.

"Why are you guys always late?"

Temari, with her brothers Kankuro Gaara, was standing at the north gate, waiting for a certain jinchuuriki to show up. When Naruto had returned from his brief encounter with Kakashi, the Suna siblings talked with him on what he was going to do. Nearby, the fan wielder noticed Naruto's former team mates were standing there, with the male darting his eyes around. In Temari's mind, Sasuke's actions were one of wanting to rub his victory in Naruto's face. It wasn't long before the familiar visage of Naruto came into view. Temari also noted that there was a crowd forming near the Uchiha, who was making his way towards the blonde.

"Dobe!"

Naruto kept walking ignoring the nick-name that Sasuke insisted on calling him though he had told him that they were not friends anymore when he brought Sasuke back from Orochimaru, Sasuke of course thought he was playing around.

"Naruto! Sasuke-kun is talking to you!" Naruto kept walking until he got to the Suna siblings.

He stopped in front of them, with Gaara asking, "Are you ready to do this, Uzumaki."

Ignoring the calls from Sakura Sasuke, Naruto said, "What did I say about calling me that, Gaara? I told you to call me Naruto."

Snorting, Kankuro said, "I doubt Gaara will ever call you anything other than Uzumaki. He may call you his friend… someday."

Rolling his eyes, Naruto said, "Let's get outta here. This place sickens me."

Sakura was in shock as she noticed the bags Naruto was carrying as he was heading towards the gate with the Suna siblings, the same gate that Sasuke had walked through some time ago to go to Orochimaru. She was a little sad that Sasuke got to be Hokage since it was Naruto's dream to have that title. The fact was that, in Sakura's eyes, Sasuke was the better choice for the title of Hokage instead of Naruto and hoped that he would get over his personal problems and congratulate the Uchiha.

"Hey Naruto! Just because Sasuke became Hokage instead of you doesn't mean that you should go away!"

Naruto stopped as he decided to hear out what Sakura was going to say and maybe even consider staying if she gave him a reason to but that wasn't the case.

"It wasn't Sasuke's fault that he was the better choice for Hokage!"

Naruto's eyes glowed crimson for a second before calmly walking away with the Suna siblings but not before his final message that chilled everyone in Konoha to the bone as everyone seemed to hear him in that second.

"One day I will destroy Konoha."
