Panting breaths amidst the icy pouring rain. The memory of just hours ago still flashing before her much like the storm, unable to see anything else.

"The weapon is WHAT? HOW!"

The only light on the old trail was the nearly constant flashes of lightning whose thunder drowned out the worried gasps of the figure as they ran, sloshing mud up onto them. Blond hair whipped in the strong gusts that threatened to send the fleeing figure forcefully to the ground.

"Seals of this nature are inherently unstable during such times, we must act."

Tears almost hidden by the falling rain trailed down marked cheeks while cobalt blue eyes wide with panic and fear glanced constantly about as their owner slipped into the mud. A feminine gasp strangled out and even though the mud was thick from the hard rain the figure's knees and palms were scratched and bleeding as they fought to keep the almost unnoticeable swell of their belly from being crushed. The reason for her banishment. The cause of everything. Too precious to give up.

"Uzumaki Naruto, turned female, locked in that gender, and impregnated, though supposedly impossible we see now it has happened. Given the probability that this is due to the demon sealed inside the… whatever it is, as a means to allow Kyuubi's escape. I am sure even now the seal is beginning to weaken. The only way to remove the Kyuubi is to remove the host. The Yondaime Hokage's seal allowed that. I vote that we slay this freak of nature and it's child to remove the threat that they pose before it is too late."

Naruto choked on her breath, bile rising as she remembered hearing the words of the elders as she stood virtually naked before them all shaking in the coldness of both the room and the stares of those in it.

"I refuse to allow such actions on a man who has given up so much to this village, hell the entire known world! To kill him because of his child simply is barbaric! To even suggest such a thing is dishonorable and I refuse to hear anything like such a suggestion again." Tsunade was always on her side.

"Such reckless abandon of ones duty, to turn itself female so it could spread it's legs for any piece of trash and kill us all."

Naruto felt the bile again, and racked her body against it's release.

"Hold your tongue. I have examined Naruto. He is still only producing the male cell structures and reproductive sperm cells. No matter how much his body is female that one fact means he is still for all intents and purposes male. No, the mother in this regard must have also similarly changed sex and thus caused the delivery of her egg to Naruto's body." Murmurs of just who would do such a thing echoed through the large spacious chamber before Shibi Aburame spoke out, the first one from the shinobi side of the council to speak since learning the news of Naruto's odd condition.

Memories of that drunken haze, of asking finally to be with the one she loved, only to have it turned into something twisted. Pain. Disgust. Fear. She did throw up then. Her body ejecting whatever she could hold down previously during the last hectic and horrible days in Konoha as her mind continued to replay the final moments of her life in Konoha.

"That aside. The problem then lies with this child. If taken to birth the toll on the seal and the person with the seal will allow the possibility of the Kyuubi breaking free. Without a seal master like Yondaime, or Jiraiya, I say to terminate the fetus at once. This will allow Uzumaki to return to his normal form and the village will be out of harm." The room was at once filled with pause before cries of outrage from both sides.

"What right do you have to tell him to terminate his child's life?" Tsunade strode up next to the man turned woman wrapping her arms around her. "It should be up to him and…" She leaned in and whispered into Naruto's ear. Tears pooled at the younger woman's eyes and she nodded. A few more questions responded by shakes and nods as the tears grew steadily worse until she was wrapped into the older woman's arms, comforting in her baa-chan's warmth. A sad pained smile etched itself slowly upon the elder woman's face as she looked into the lights before shaking her head.

Naruto pulled herself from the mud, her now dry heaves slowing enough to force herself up from the ground and against a tree to catch her breath.

"Try and control your pet, Tsunade, it's wails disgust me."

"Councilman Haruno, control yourself."

"This thing has tramped around my daughter like a love sick fool, no doubt it would say she is the 'co-instigator' of it's sick little game, and I refuse to hear it. It's bad enough it filled her head with useless notions."

"Councilman!"

"SHUT UP!" It was the first thing Naruto had said, not since she had been summoned before them, undressed, poked and prodded by the men in the room, called it and thing, and told she was disgusting.. A freak. She had weathered it all. But she broke under the man's words. "You leave her out of this! Even if it was Sakura-ch… Sakura. It wouldn't matter! Because this child is MINE! I refuse to let anyone kill my baby. So it doesn't matter who was the 'co-instigator' was. Besides she at that moment, was twice the man YOU'LL ever be."

"GET IT OUT OF MY SIGHT NOW!" The man rose, temple throbbing in anger and his face a brilliant shade of purple as he slammed his hands into the table enough to rattle the large semi circle and topple some of the glasses of water scattered upon it. "I refuse to deal with that freak, vote or not, until it is away from here! Besides it has no say in this matter, only the council can decide. Remove that slut at once." Naruto bristled at the word slut but Tsunade cupped her shoulders keeping her from charging and making an already tense situation worse.

"Naruto, I know how you feel but he is right. Get dressed and meet me in my office. I'll discuss what happens then. Give you your options."

"There is only one option Tsunade." Tsunade flinched at the gritted teeth growl from the girl she was holding. There was no hiding the red eyes and flared whisker marks that she knew was showing. "I'm keeping my baby, In the Leaf or not." Exactly what the councilman wanted, as his smile before his anger returned, said it all.

"YOU SEE YOU SEE! Look at the monster! It's already loosing control of the seal! Who knows how much time we have before the Kyuubi is released upon us! The thing will probably use the hellspawn in that freaks womb to do so! KILL IT! KILL IT AT ONCE!" The entire civilian side went up in arms shouting and pointing at Naruto while the Shinobi council stood by watching the entire scene.

"Naruto my office NOW." Tsunade pushed the younger woman towards Kakashi who had stood silently watching everything. He took Tsunade's position and pushed his now silent almost catatonic student towards the Hokage's office.

Amidst the thunderous volley from the sky a scream of anger poured forth from under the tree before trailing off, Naruto gasped for more air, to scream again but she was unable to gain any air into her lungs, she was choking. Drowning because her lungs couldn't force air past frenzied emotions that filled her chest instead.

"Uzumaki Naruto…" Tsunade finally said, to the utter relief of Naruto as Kakashi's silent treatment was hurtful and maddening all at the same time. However the look on the Hokage's face as she read the scroll before her was not promising. "It is the judgment of the council, a very close vote… that you are hereby banished from Hi no Kuni… Effective immediately. You have two days to remove yourself from our borders before a Kill on Sight is issued, effective only in Hi no Kuni. You can never return to Konoha unless this ruling is overturned by a 4/5ths majority by the current council at that time. So said the council at…" Naruto stopped listening. He stopped everything. Until Tsunade spoke up. "They have offered a dropping of all charges at any time you abort the pregnancy. A seal expert will have to be called to see the strain upon the seal and your psychiatric evaluation held weekly for a year afterwards to ensure little to no contamination from the Kyuubi has been done. You are also hereby never allowed the use of the Appa-henge kinjutsu known as Oiroke no Jutsu again should you choose this compromise." Tsunade was silent as she closed the scroll. "I'm sorry."

"No I'm sorry, Baa-chan. I…" the younger blonde closed her eyes as her shoulders slumped. "I wanted to be with her so much I did anything she asked."

"I would question why she did this but I have a feeling I know." Tsunade ran a hand through her bangs. "And now I have to loose you." Naruto looked up, wondering how the older woman knew what she was thinking. "I know you, I know what you really want in life. So I know there is nothing I can do to stop you from leaving. You should have two days, but knowing that council you'll have just hours after you leave before they call in the hit on you. I'll do what I can for you, and remember to write, Toads are still allowed in Konoha after all." The older woman was getting teary eyed and wrapped the younger woman in a hug. "Stay safe Naruto, prove them wrong, show them your will is stronger than that stupid fox, so maybe one day I can hold that grandbaby okay?" Shizune burst into the room , sobbing enveloping her little sister in her arms crying on the younger woman's shoulders.

Naruto took a deep breath then forced it through the insanity that was overwhelming her. Calming she nodded to herself before turning back towards the village of her birth.

"Baa-chan is right. I promise you'll see your grandkid, and I don't take back my promises, my NINDO! Fuck you council! So what if I am not a leaf nin! I'll still find a way to become Hokage! Ttebayo~!"

With that she began trudging off, a firm determined grin on her face.

Next chapter: Five Years Later

Welcome to Fakers 24~! … sigh… not really. Dammit. I have two thirds of it written, the most I have ever gotten out of a final chapter, but I don't like it. It reverts back to almost a chapter one level of writing… which sucked.

This however is an endeavor that had been pushed back almost from the moment Shippuden started by my brain. Which turned out I was right about the seals weakening due to child birth. Which is cool, but I can't find my original notes on the matter, but it's okay, I win the internet. This is an odd story, one I thought I'd never return to writing but as I till over many notes in Fakers and Memories, this and FarmerNin and KitNH have been clouding my thoughts. Especially for the reason why Naruto is stuck as you see him here. He won't permanently be female, but things will be mighty different.

Read review, tell me what you think… I think I am being stretched… like butter over too much bread. Too many ideas but none past certain points. So now I have like 30 stories but only like 8 done or abandoned.

Not very good odds. But Fakers surprised me. If I can get the final 24 out, the remaining three or so I might add are all bonus stories so it's very close to being done.

Now this at least won't bug me constantly and I can get some other work done. Which would be nice.
