Lonesome Road

He lost it all that day. He lost his friends, his crush, his home, his life, and his dream. He just slogged through the rain. Going in some unknown direction, some unknown designation.

-Flashback-

Naruto sat waiting for the inevitable to happen to him. He knew it would come to this. The council banishing him from Konohagakure no Sato. He had no chance, his only allies were Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Iruka and only Jiraiya and Tsunade had any real pull with the council. His other teacher, Kakashi, was no where to be seen.

"The only way for Naruto, is banishment. You saw the mission report. He lost control and allowed the Kyuubi to escape. Not only that, he used deadly force against Sasuke Uchiha. For the safety of the village, he must be killed or exiled. I think I speak for the rest of the council when I say lets banish Naruto Uzumaki. Are there any objections?" Koharu said.

"Yeah I have an objection. He did nothing wrong. He brought back the Uchiha and denied Orochimaru the Sharingan and you're rewarding him with banishment? How is that fair?!" Jiraiya yelled.

"You can't do this, as the Godiame Hokage, I can over rule you." Tsunade said.

"I'm sorry Tsunade. But even you can't go against the majority of the Council." Danzo said. "The Daimyo gave us these laws to check the Hokage's powers. There is nothing you can do."

"I think it's decided. Naruto Uzumaki. Do you have anything to say?" Homura said.

"I have nothing to say to you." Naruto growled.

"Naruto." Iruka said in a warning voice.

"His anger is unchecked. He could easily fall victim to the fox and kill us all." A Shinobi councilman said.

Tsunade was about to retort, but was cut off by Koharu. "We're sorry Tsunade, but this is the only way." She turned to Naruto. "Naruto Uzumaki, you are hear-by stripped of your rank of Genin and banished from the Konoha. If you attempt to return after a one week period. You will be put to death."

-Present-

So Naruto kept on walking. Eventually he stopped and realized he was in the Land of Waves. It didn't take him long to find Tazuna's house.

"Naruto" Tsunami said. "God Naruto you look awful. What happened…" She was cut off has Naruto collapsed into her arms crying. Leaving her and Inari to wonder what happened to him.
