Naruto ran he had just left Kohona and already he was on the run.
Shit
He ran faster as he caught the smell of several teams closing in he wished he never met that man, or took up his offer.

-Flashback-
Naruto was in a hospital bed after the failed mission to bring Sasuke back from Orocchimaru.
Why, why Sasuke did you leave. Why SASUKE, Naruto shouted.
He hung his head weeping tears of bitterness and spite. Naruto wallowed in his depression until he heard a creaking sound as the door opened up and standing before was Sakura looking at him with a hesitant expression.
"Naruto, where's Sasuke-kun"
"I…I couldn't bring him back, I ffailed sorry Sakura-Chan", Naruto said turning away his face full of guilt and shame.
SLAP
"You didn't bring Sasuke-kun back; you probably let him leave didn't you!" Sakura shouted. "Why couldn't you have been the one to leave why did you have to be the one to stay WHY!?" Sakura had tears running down her face as she spoke.
Her next three words wrenched Naruto heart from his chest.
I hate you.
Sakura ran out of the room leaving Naruto alone to his own feelings.
Naruto couldn't feel or hear as he thought of those three words over and over again in his mind as he once again silently wept. Naruto made a vow then and there biting his finger mixing his blood with.
"Sasuke I will bring you back even if I have to go to the darkest pits of hell then I will upon my blood and tears I will."
Naruto was broken out of his thoughts as he heard an acid like sound coming from the door as a black cloud came in and started to form into a shape of a person.
The figure that the cloud formed spoke.
"I can help you save your friend; I can give you the power beyond your dreams. I can give you a safe haven a place where you will not be hated. But you must pledge yourself to me to gain it."
"You can d…do that", Naruto spoke eyes full of hope and longing to save his friend.
"Yes I can" simply spoke the figure, "But to do that for me you must come with me". The figure spoke turning back into a cloud. "Break your bonds and follow these directions to find me ", the cloud like figure spoke as he threw a scroll for over his shoulder.
"Break my bonds eh….I guess it's worth it besides it's not like anyone will miss if I do they might even make a holiday out of it.." said Naruto unwrapping the scroll.
"Hm three…"
"Days"… Naruto and the figure spoke at the same moment.
"Soon the boy will come to me and I will make him strong" the figure said with a slightly dark chuckle.

Naruto sighed. Is this really worth all the trouble. He was so caught up in his thought that he failed to notice the enormous 50 ft tall tree in with way and crashed into it leaving a Naruto sized impression in the trunk.
Naruto got up dazed and once again started running along
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Kakashi, Sakura, Kiba, Shino, and Hinata were running through the forest as fast as they could. There was no time for words as they were trying to catch up to Naruto, all the while being lost in their thoughts.
Damn idiot, trying to run away, now I have to go drag him back, Kiba thought while narrowly avoiding a tree root sticking out of the ground by jumping over it.
Naruto-kun why did you leave us, thought Hinata worriedly, keeping an active eye open for any sign for Naruto.
…... was all that was going through Shino's mind. (Not very surprising)
This all my fault, he wouldn't have left if it wasn't for me, Sakura silently berated. Sakura hurried as she remembered what had happened when Tsunade found out about Naruto leaving.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
-Flashback-
Team eight was in the Hokage's office receiving an assignment to clear out s bandit camp near a village in fire country.
When Sakura suddenly burst through the door.
"Tsunade-sama, Naruto left the village", Sakura screeched waving around a piece of paper high in the air.
Everyone was taken aback before Tsunade suddenly spoke "Hinata, Kiba, and Shino you have a new mission grab Kakashi and be ready to leave in fifth teen minutes.
"Hai!" as they left a fine trail of dust.
Tsunade suddenly turned to Sakura as she asked with narrowed eyes "Sakura you wouldn't happen to know why he left would you"
Sakura faulted under the glare she was receiving as she managed to squeak out, "Hhe might have l…left b…b…because ofof m…me".
Tsunade sighed a then suddenly the desk was left in pieces as she harshly chewed Sakura out before saying, "You had better bring him back or it'll be your head instead of his".
Sakura hesitated.
"What are you waiting for get going you don't have all day" Tsunade barked out.
Sakura sped out of the room as if the devil himself was casing after her. (She probably was.)
Tsunade collapsed on her desk as she spoke to no one in particular as she said "Maybe it would be best if he did all the crap he has to put up with the villagers and everyone else," as tears started spilling out of her eyes.

Sakura Was so caught up in her thoughts that she didn't notice the kunai heading straight for her.
Kakashi tackled her out of the way as he cautiously surveyed the area seeing the traps that practically littered the area and the fifty or so kage bushin around.
This is going to take awhile Kakashi thought out loud.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Naruto finally reached his destination which was a clearing that had a small mountain on its edge of it. The terrain was slightly rocky as he was near the border of Mountain Country.
Naruto slowly made his way over to the small mountain as he was completely confident that anyone would be able to find him as it was made a point in the instructions to stop at every lake to lose his scent.
Naruto smirked as he thought not even Kiba could find him now.
Naruto took out a kunai and went to the point designated in the scroll and cut his wrist wipe blood along a certain area.
The said area started to glow black as the rocks rearranged themselves to form a doorway.
Naruto slowly walked in wary of the darkness but he continued to press forward soon he saw a light and moved towards it.
When he finally emerged in the light he found himself in a dimly lit room with a figure in it.
The said figure bowed.
"Welcome Naruto-sama I am Jai the servant of my lord", said Jai bowing even lower.
Getting up and turning swiftly around Jai spoke, "Come my lord has been waiting quite a while for you Naruto-sama."
Naruto moved to follow Jai even farther into the structure, since Naruto couldn't quite figure out what else to call except for a base and that didn't sound quite right to him.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The group following Naruto emerged for a tree line looking worse for wear all of them coming out with at least a couple of injuries.
Everyone except Hinata was trying to figure out a way to kill Naruto without being discover but couldn't quite come up with a way that didn't end with them getting killed by Tsunade.
As they came across a river they found three Naruto sitting on the water waiting for them patiently.
Soon as the Naruto saw the group they all ran in a different direction making the group have to split up.
Thirty minutes later the groups came back to the river each chasing their Naruto to find it was a clone in the end.
The group decided to go back to Kohona to regroup and find a better way to look for Naruto.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Naruto winched slightly as the last memories of his clones came back to him.
Jai and Naruto continued to walk down the dark tunnel-like hallway until they reached a door of grand design being made of mostly silver and gold.
Jai slowly opened the door to reveal a huge room that had Naruto slightly taken aback.
It was a dimly lit room that had ten pedestals around the room, and part of a river seemed to come through the room. (Think the Akatsuki hideout in Naruto Shippuuden except for the statue there are pedestals.)
"My lord" said Jai putting Naruto back on alert.
Looking around the room Naruto's eyes settled of a figure on one of the pedestals.
"Thank-you Jai you may go", said the figured waving his hand.
"Yes my lord," said Jai leaving the room.
The figure in the room stepped into the light revealing a man that appeared to be in his early twenties. The man had on a black trench coat that went down to his knees while wearing a simple white shirt and Black pants that weren't too tight while slightly baggy.
He had black hair that was spiky but most of it leaned to one side. (A cross between Sasuke and Naruto's hair.)
He had a handsome face but his most striking features were his eyes, his eyes themselves were grayish while the area around his pupil were a glowing purple and had three comma marks around it. The pupil itself was slit in a wolf like fashion.
The man gave Naruto a wolfish grin which made Naruto somewhat uncomfortable.
"Hello Naruto", the man spoke, "My name is Kurage Tai and I will make you strong."

AN: The pairing for this story will be Naruto/Yugito. I might change it to a Naruto/Kin or Naruto/OC but I need votes to do so.
This is my first fanfic so I need votes to see what you think of my story any criticism would help me later.
Arigato!!
