Naruto sat in front of the small shack opening the large scroll in front of him. It had been easy enough for him to get in and swipe it, and with a quick sexy jutsu he slipped past the Hokage himself. "Alright so one jutsu and I pass." He looked at the first jutsu on the scroll. "Hmm Shadow clone jutsu. Let's see what it does." He said reading further.
"Requirments: large chakra reserves, Jonin or above. Effect: Creates solid clones out of chakra, Clones can perform jutsu, any knowledge or expirience the clone recieves is transfered to the user when they dispell. This sounds perfect." He said as he began practicing.
It took about thirty minutes for Naruto to get to the point he where he could make ten solid clones. "Well I've still got some time before Mizuki sensei get's here. Might as well learn as much as I can." He said as he had each clone take a Jutsu and begin working on them. They nodded scattering.
As he read he learned of a place called Uzushiogakure appearently it's where his family was originally from. It had been all but destroyed in the second great shinobi world war. The ruins were still there though. Appearently they were masters of a art called Fuinjutsu. Naruto made a note to look into that later.
As the hour passed Naruto made clones to perfect the jutsu he'd chosen while he focused on reading the notes in the scroll. He found that the fourth was his father. That he had sealed the fox inside him. Also that he had left him a large sum of money and his personal jutsu collection sealed in a box on top of his head on the Hokage monument.
Thinking quickly Naruto made a Shadow clone who transformed into a civilian before taking off to the mountain. Naruto continued to study. When he felt he had learned on jutsu to a decent extend he moved to the next. He had found some ink a brush and paper in the shack and had a clone practice hand writing. If he wanted to learn seals he'd need the practice.
About twenty minutes went by and the clone returned handing Naruto the box. "Well I guess it's time to leave. As much as I'd love to become the Hokage. I can't forgive this village for abandoning my home." He created another two clones. One to pretend to wait. The other to transform into the scroll.
Naruto strapped the scoll to his back. He transformed into a Chunin and took off into the woods. With twenty minutes until the scheduled meeting time he hoped his clone could buy him some time to get further out of the village.
He ran at top speeds for as long as he could. About twenty five minutes into his run he got the memories of his clone. The clone had told Iruka to run to the Hokage and get help. Admiting he was a clone and that the real Naruto had figured out Mizuki's plan, and was in hiding waiting for his capture.
Iruka had fell for it and the clone had managed to make two more clones who were currently holding off Mizuki. Naruto knew they wouldn't last long. At most he had a couple of minutes. But with the Anbu handling Mizuki, and everyone thinking Naruto would likely appear in the morning when he knew Mizuki was in custody he may have been bought some time.
Within a few hours he was at the coast. The clone who had been inside working on hand writing had appearently decided to hang back and watch the fight. When he saw the other clones lead Mizuki into the woods he took off towards Hokage mouintan. Naruto didn't know this yet but he hadn't gotten the memories of that clone so he knew he was around somewhere.
The clone had hidden deep in the woods behind the mouintan. With any luck he'd last till morning and could help in keeping the original off radar. He had taken the supplies with him so he continued the task at hand while he waite. As morning came he had run out of paper and was meditating with a leaf on his head to practice chakra control.
When he thought he had waited long enough whe walked out and ran towards the Hokage tower. The entire place was surrounded by Chunin and Jonin alike. "Guys I'm here."
Within seconds of saying that sentance Hiruzen appeared in a swirl of leaves. "Naruto-kun thank goodness you're ok. But where is the scroll?" He asked as he hugged the boy.
"It's tucked away safe. It will stay there until I get some answers Jiji." Naruto said as he hugged the man. "After all I believe the matter of my father is more pressing." Hiruzen sighed. He dismissed the Shinobi and lead Naruto into the tower.
As he walked into the office he activated several seals shutting off the room to the outside world. "So Naruto-kun want to tell me how you figured it out." He said as his expression turned serious.
"I looked in the scroll. Before he died he left a message in there. Of who I was. What his plan was. Where he left my inheritance. All of it there. So when I left I went and picked it up before I hid." He explained as he sat down.
Hiruzen sighed as he sat down. "Well now that you know what will you do my boy?"
"Simple really. I'm leaving Konoha." He stated bluntly as Hiruzen's jaw dropped to the floor and his pipe fell from his mouth.
"But why? Isn't your dream to become Hokage?" Hiruzen asked.
"It was. But the things I learned last night have made it so I can no longer stay in the village. Since I didn't graduate I am not a shinobi and am free to leave at any time. Isn't that right Jiji?" He said smirking.
"Well you are right about that. I can't stop you. But I would like to know the location of the scroll before you leave."
"it's hidden in the forrest behind the Hokage mountain. I can't tell you the specific location because I don't quite remember. But it shouldn't be to hard to find with a couple of Hyuuga."
"I see thank you Naruto. Is there anything else you need before you go off?"
"Yes there is one thing." Hiruzen raised a eyebrow waiting for the request. Instead of stating it Naruto moved forward and wrapped the elderly man in a hug. "Incase I don't make it back. Just know I'm not mad about you keeping my family identity from me. I love you Jiji and I always will."
A tear rolled down the old mans eye as he hugged is surroget no hugged his grandson back. "I love you too my boy. Please come home soon." He said.
"Don't worry Jiji I will. I'll be back and I'll make you proud." He said as he deactivated the seal on the window and lept out toward the gates.
As he watched Naruto run off into the distance Hiruzen smiled slightly through his tears. "You already have my boy. You already have." When Naruto wa out of sight he turned and sighed. The council would be raising hell when they heard their weapon was gone. He didn't care. Legally there was nothing they could do to stop Naruto from leaving.
As the clone made it out of the village it dissapeared. The real Naruto shed a tear as he sailed from the coast in the small outboard motor boat he had bought with some of his inhearitance. Thanks to his clone he'd gotten Hiruzen's blessing to leave the village.
Now all he had to worry about was what would happen when they discovered the scroll was gone. But he would worry about that later. Thanks to that clones hard work his hand writing was now signifacintly better and he even felt like he had slightly better chakra control.
As he looked out on the water he saw the village or what was left of it. A small Island and a few shacks. But he saw the remnents of a wall off in the distance. "Well I'm home."
