This story starts right after the Sasuke Retrieval mission.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
Chapter 1: A New start!
"Chidori!"
"Rasengan!"
A 13 years old blond ninja was thinking hard about how his life turned out.
His latest mission failure...
What if he had taken Iruka's lesson seriously...
What if he had done some more training...
What if he had spend his time in better way than just for recognition by konoha populus.
What if ...
What if ..
" Will you stop whining ? " kyuubi roared.
" What a loser "
Naruto shook his head of the morbid thoughts, now wasn't the time to be dwelling on such things. Sasuke's defection had opened Naruto's eyes to the reality of his situation.
He needed to get stronger, he had to train and try his hardest to become a real shinobi, not the loud brat who could not even bring back someone he considered a brother.
As he was now Naruto was lacking in every aspect of being a shinobi.
In every battle he had fought so far if it were not for the Kyuubi, Naruto knew he would have died.
During the battle on the bridge, in the Land of Wave he had used it to fight Haku.
During his fight with Orochimaru in the forest of death he had been forced to use it.
During fight with Gaara,
During fight with Sasuke,
Every major battle he had been in he had used it.
' I can count on my one hand the skill I have. Shadow clone jutsu, Rasengan, Academy Three, and Sexy jutsu. That's all . I don't have anything to call myself a ninja '.
=== Hokage Tower ===
" So how he's doing ?"
" I can't say anything about it Jiraiya"
" What do you mean ? " Jiraiya said with a small hint of surprise and confusion.
Tsunade snorted " He is just dwelling on his failed mission and just saying 'what if this or that'".
"Good news . Akatsuki won't be trying to capture bijus until three & half years. Orochi-teme can't have Uchiha for same time period. I want to take kid away from Konoha for training trip for three and half year to make himeself ready for action ahead. "
" Why outside ? He's safe here than away from Konoha and you know council won't agree. "
"..."
" Well ..."
Tsunade turned to face Jiraiya with serious look.
Jiraiya looked thoughtful for a moment, "I imagined there would be some problems to this. So I am just going to pull San-nin card on council."
Jiraiya spent the next hour explaining his thoughts about this training trip.
=== Hospital Room ===
Naruto turned his head to the side away from her "Sorry, Sakura-chan. I wasn't able to bring back Sasu…"
"SHUT UP!"
Naruto's head shot up hearing this as he looked up at Sakura only for his eyes to widen slightly "Sa-Sakura-chan…" He stammered out as she glared down at him with pure unhindered rage.
"Don't you dare say Sasuke-kun's name, you BEAST!" She finished yelling at him with a thunderous slap to the side of his face, causing him to be sent falling to the ground. Naruto soon rolled over and started to push himself up onto his hands and knees while gritting his teeth in pain before he started coughing up more blood again.
After a few seconds of spitting out the remaining globs of blood in his mouth he turned his head to look back at Sakura, over his shoulder "Sa-Sakura, w-wha…"
"You're nothing compared to Sasuke-kun. You don't even deserve to lie at his feet. You're an abomination that never should have been born Naruto, a freak, a fucking demon!"
Naruto narrowed his eyes hearing this as he started to push himself back up onto his knees before he started getting back up to his feet "b- but ...!"
However before he could get back up to his feet, Sakura delivered a right hook to the side of Naruto's head, knocking him back down to the ground. "You are what you are, and what you are is the Kyuubi!" From back down on the ground Naruto's eyes widened hearing this before a smirk appeared on Sakura's face "Yes I know about you and Kyuubi, but… I know the real truth. You're not the container for the Kyuubi. You ARE the bastard fox!"
"..."
Before he could say anything else she knocked him down again with a well placed kick.
Then came a loud yell of "Enough!"
Naruto looked over to the side, where the voice had called out from, only to see Tsunade walking up to him with a scroll in hand. "Baa-chan?"
Hearing this Tsunade just glared down at Sakura before ramming her fist into Sakura's gut.
Naruto winced in pain before coughing up some blood. He then raised his head back up and shot a glare at Tsunade "What the hell was that for, why are you hitting her when its my fault?!. I failed to bring Sasuke back and because of me my whole team is in hospital. ..."
Tsunade just narrowed her eyes "Silence!"
She then turned her back to him and faced Pink-haired waste-of kunoichi.
Tsunade started speaking to Sakura " What a waste of a judgement of mine. Here I thought you were a better ninja. Perfect Chakra Control, Exellent knowledge... I hereby disband Team 7. You are getting absorbed in Team Ten as Shikamaru got to Chu-nin. Just get out of here. "
Sakura just narrowed her eyes at him before nodding to Tsu- no Hokage-sama and left.
Then she turned her back to him and sighed.
" Just shut up and listen brat. I don't care what you thing about this whole situation but know this that its not your fault Uchiha boy turned traitor or Team got injured. Just be ready to face trial of Shinobi life or get the fuck out of program. you hear me ?"
He nods and shake his head to get rid of his self-pity thoughts.
" Sorry... "
" That's better. Now listen I just got some news for you..."
=== Sometimes later ===
Naruto was finally released from the hospital with Tsunade's approval and immediately went to his apartment. Jiraiya told him that they would be leaving the next day so that would be enough time for Naruto to tie up any loose ends he had. The blonde had said goodbye to all his friends in that weak and told them that he would get stronger in no time.
Currently, Naruto was packing his bags full of essentials for his trip, but if one looked close enough they would see that the blonde wasn't entirely focused on packing, Those conditions of trip that Naruto knew about had occupied his mind for that entire week.
=== Next day morning ===
"So where are we going Ero-Sennin?" Naruto asked as he looked up at the larger male.
" Fire Temple "
