Hiya guys and girls.
Second fanfic on the way here! And no I have not forgotten about the other one!
Before we start I wanna get some things clear. In this story Madara and Obito died. They do not exist during this story! Excellent now sit back put yo feet up and enjoy!
Pein stared down at the broke, bloody body lying at his feet. Never before had anyone actually made him fear. If he hadn't have activated everything in his arsenal, he would be dead. Plain and simple. Yet the boy hadn't even reached his potential. Such a pity. Their battle had wiped out at least three quarters of the hidden leaf village. Killing possibly over ten-thousand villages, along with one-thousand shinobi. Most of that had been the boy however. The fox had taken over and gone berserk. Such power the boy possessed, it was truly amazing.
"Do you hate me now boy?" Pein asked, studying Naruto.
There was no reply, Naruto could hardly reply in his current state. He had used seven Rasenshuriken and four Big Ball Rasengans. Naruto was drained and he knew it. Naruto was just awaiting death now, ready to greet it like an old friend.
"Boy the world is my oyster, I am currently the most powerful shinobi alive. I would finish you now but unfortunately there is a large mass of movement this way. It's a shame the Akatsuki could use you. " Pein said impassively.
"Get lost, I would never betray my friends!" Naruto roared at him. His voice cracking at the last.
"But what if your friends were to betray you, boy. I can hear them already. Chanting you name, along with the words death and kill. They hate you boy, they hate everything about you. You saved their village but in the process destroyed it. Thousands have died, yet it was not all your fault. Yet they solely blame you, as the nine tails beast. Think on what I have said. We will be waiting."
Pein leapt off, leaving the battered bloody body of Naruto in stunned shock. He also had said that the village hated him. What? What had he done wrong. And all that about the nine tails? Had he lost control? Visions of death and destruction passed through his mind. What had he done.
Several minutes later he heard the chanting.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"Death to the beast! Death to the body!"
Naruto managed to drag his body around to the incoming chants, his eyes narrowing in fear and suspicion. Coming towards him was every remaining member of the village. Twenty-thousand angry faces were aimed straight at him. They marched carrying and assortment of weaponry, pitchforks, swords and axes.
"Hold! Do not take a step closer!" A voice boomed. Tsunade, the Hokage stood before Naruto.
At her voice the crowd halted, their voices stilled. More and more of the surviving leaf shinobi begun to form up at her side. Yet their faces were covered in hatred and fear. Especially the older shinobi, who had witnessed the death and destruction once before.
"Naruto will be taken for healing, then judgement will be made by the council! Not the villagers without thought and consideration!" Tsunade boomed at them. She too felt scared of what had happened. Yet her fear was aimed towards what would happen to Naruto now.
"Get the crowds back, begin repair work immediately. Tend to the wounded and get out searching for Pein!" Tsunade called out order after order. "Shikaku, take over. The council will want to see Naruto."
The aged strategist looked down at the young man lying before him. He was one of few who looked at him with sadness. Knowing his fate. He then quickly set about his task. Gathering shinobi we walked off.
"Kakashi, gather him up. He has a meeting with the council..." Tsunade's whispered.
Tsunade looked around at the destruction of her village. Sakura stood cradling the broken figures of her parents. She turned and was surprised to see anger on the face of the copycat ninja.
"Naruto, what have you done..." Kakashi mumbled. "You said you could control it..." He bent down and picked Naruto off the floor. The pair of them leapt off. Leaving the anger and hatred behind.
"You cannot be serious!" Naruto cried out, anger surfacing for the first time in the meeting.
"It is that or death Naruto! My hands are tied!" Tsunade exclaimed back at him. "What choice did I have!"
Naruto slumped then. They village had betrayed him, his friends had abandoned him. Not one had spoken to him since the fight that had torn apart the village. Alone he had been in his cell. Only his thoughts and his clones to keep him company. His mind kept flashing back to what Pein had said.
"They hate you boy."
Then he had thought that the guy was crazy. His village would never betray him, yet here he was. Being told that he had to give up shinobi life, become a prisoner of the leaf village. That he would live his life in a cell with a chakra seal over him. Preventing any use of chakra whatsoever.
It was then and there that his mind was made.
"Do what you must." He stated simply, his shoulders slumping in defeat.
Tsunade looked at Naruto, her sadness threatening to tip over the edge.
"You have one day to prepare yourself. Say goodbyes or pay respects. After that you will not see a human again. Anbu will be watching you wherever you go." The female elder told him.
On the outside Naruto looked defeated and resigned to his fate. But inside he was already plotting his escape. He needed out of this village. He stumbled out of the Hokage's office, walking aimlessly through the corridors. As he neared the exit he saw two people he had hoped to avoid.
Sakura and Kakashi Sensei.
They were deep in conversation, Kakashi had is arm on Sakura's shoulder and seemed to be comforting her. They both looked up when they heard footsteps. Sakura's face contorted in anger upon sight on Naruto.
"Sakura...I..." Naruto tried.
"Go away you monster!" Sakura cried out. "Get out of here!"
Naruto recoiled at the pure hatred on his teammates face.
"Sakura..." He tried again.
"I SAID GET LOST!" Sakura roared.
She stepped forwards and punched him, yet there was no chakra behind it. It was a purely normal punch. Instead of destroying him, she had decided to send a message. Their friendship was over. Naruto stumbled back, holding his cheek in on hand.
"Kakashi Sensei..." He mumbled.
Kakashi didn't answer, he just guided Sakura away. He didn't even glance over his shoulder.
Naruto stumbled away, walking back to his apartment. Darkness consumed him on the way.
Naruto woke up on the day he was meant to meet leave the village.
He glanced over at his clock. 2 AM. Perfect. Naruto began to pack, gathering only the essentials. He needed to move fast and hard. He needed out of this village. Naruto gathered one set of spare clothes, some spare food rations and spare weapons. Nothing else he needed. He considered taking the photos he had. But rage consumed him, in a fit of anger he threw them across the room. He walked over, staring down at the cracked picture frames containing photos of Team 7 and his friends. The only photo he kept was of Jiraiya. That was his precious person.
Naruto spun as the door slammed open. The four Anbu who had been stationed to watch him came running in. The rage entered Naruto again. His eyes changed into the red slits of the fox. Chakra swirled around him. The Anbu instantly reacted beginning the hand signs for their sealing Jutsus. But before they even completed the first sign Naruto was on them.
Naruto leapt forwards, throwing his fist forwards. The connected solidly snapping the head of the Anbu leader back. There was an audible snap as his spine broke. Spinning Naruto's foot slammed into the abdomen of the second Anbu. Followed by a Kunai through the back of the Anbu's head. The third Anbu swung a lightning fast punch straight at Naruto's head. Only to be met with thin air. The Anbu grunted as a Kunai erupted from his stomach. Blood spewing everywhere. Naruto turned to the last Anbu, who was preparing themselves for the oncoming fight.
"Tell the higher ups that if they follow me, they will die. Any force they send will be crushed. You saw how fast I killed three elite shinobi. I could crush any force you send. Understand!" Naruto practically roared the last part. "Also tell my 'friends' of the Konoha 11 that if I see any of them again, there is a good chance I will kill them!"
The Anbu carefully considered his options, before nodding and then vanished in a cloud of smoke. Naruto surveyed his handiwork.
"Not bad kid"
Naruto started, where had they voice come from.
"You're not gunna find me anywhere outside your mind kid. I'm inside."
Naruto felt himself switch through space. He found himself standing in a dark corridor. He instantly knew where he was, and who the voice was.
"Fox, what do you want." He called to the darkness.
"I'm here to help you. You see this Naruto suits me. Hatred and anger that can be converted into power."
"What's your idea then Fox?" Naruto said, looking up at the mass of fur behind the cage.
"I'll explain all when we are out. Until then you need to run."
"All in good time kid, let us see what they have to say before I propose anything. Now get moving I can feel several presences heading this way. We can't afford to miss our little date can we?"
With that the fox retreated into the darkness.
Naruto took one last look at his old apartment. He then leapt out of the window, heading out of the village. From far away he heard the screams of anger, recognising them as the remaining members of the Konoha 11.
Naruto leapt from branch to branch. He could feel the ANBU gaining ground on him. Two whole squads sent after him. They must of decided to kill him then. Anger surged, how dare they after he had saved the village. He was broken from his angry thoughts when a Kunai slammed into his shoulder. Naruto went spinning off the branch he was on. Crashing into a tree. He slid down the tree thudding to the floor.
"Kid you gotta move. I can't help you the seal is preventing my chakra from leaving. Damnit why now!"
Naruto had been about to respond when another Kunai thudded into his leg. He cried out in pain.
"So this is the demon kid. Not much, I heard he was stronger. " An ANBU with an owl mask said.
"Shut up and kill him. I wanna get back for the celebrations." Another ANBU said, his frog mask covering his face.
Naruto groaned shutting his eyes, he had prepared himself for the end.
"I'm sorry fox."
He felt a boot slam into his head sending him spinning away. He slid across the floor. He tried to pull himself up, however another boot hit his back sending him crashing into the ground.
"It's all over now boy." The Frog Anbu said.
The rest of the Anbu were watching with smiles behind their masks.
"I wouldn't say that." A voice said.
Naruto managed to open one eye, seeing before him a stocky man. He looked about 5 foot 11 inches tall. He had broad shoulders, sporting heavily muscled arms. His legs looked like they had absolutely no fat on them at all. Pure muscle. He wore a black tank top, with black trousers. He had heavy black boots. His lower face was covered in a mask similar to what Kakashi wore.
"Step away from the boy." He growled.
"Or what? Get lost." The ANBU said.
"Or I'll kick your ass kiddo." The man said.
He leapt forwards spinning. His foot slammed into the first ANBU sending him flying, the ANBU slumped against the tree he hit, knocked out. The man then used his momentum to crunch his elbow into the next ANBU sending his neck snapping back killing him instantly. The man then ducked under a lightning fast sword sweep, pulling out a thick dagger from his jacket pocket. He spun it around his finger before slamming it into the ANBU's throat. He then went to work on two more ANBU, quickly killing them. He managed to duck under a sweeping foot, slamming the dagger into the thigh of the attacking ANBU. His fist came up in a devastating upper cut. The ANBU dropped with his spine shattered.
The man stepped back then, nodding to himself. He jogged over to Naruto doing a quick examination of his body, checking for wounds. He grunted to himself.
"We gotta get you help kid, and soon."
He pulled up Naruto, slinging him over his shoulder. He turned surveying the dead ANBU. He sighed before leaping off.
1 Week later
Hawke sat watching Naruto, the young blonde had woken up from a medically induced coma a couple of hours ago. He had smiled as the young blond sat bolt upright demanding ramen. His laugh had broken the tension created as Naruto studied him. After the introductions and recap of what had happened Naruto had gone deadly quiet. The pair were sitting on a river bank in front of their camp.
"Hawke, can I ask you a question?" Naruto said.
"Ask away kid." Hawke said, watching the fish swim down the river.
"Why did you save me?"
"Interesting question, well to be honest there were several reasons." The stocky man said. "Firstly I saw potential in you. Secondly I witnessed how you protected that village. You got skills kid. Thirdly after seeing what the villagers did to ya, I figured you needed somewhere to go."
"Potential in me?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah, you got powers kid. Needs controlling and training but you could become a force of nature one day." Hawke said.
He saw the blonde frown. His eyes were full of despair.
"Training I want to give you."
The blonde spun around, staring at him.
"Why would you want to train me? There has to be a reason?"
"Well firstly as I said you could become godly strong kid, secondly I was hoping that you might join us." Hawke said, watching the young shinobi.
"Whose us?"
"My organisation. The Hunters are a group of extremely powerful shinobi, on par maybe stronger than the Akatsuki. We keep the peace behind the scenes. If war looks like it's about to sprout we stop it. We also hunt and kill bandits and protect the helpless. We also do multiple very high end mercenary jobs."
"So why me?" Naruto asked.
"I figured you would like to join us. You could grow and fulfil your potential. Secondly we have a space."
"Aright, I accept."
Hawke blinked. He had at least expected the kid to think about it.
"You not gunna think about it?" Hawke said in surprise.
"Well I haven't got anywhere else to go. Plus the stronger I get the closer I am to destroying Konoha." Naruto said impassively.
Hawke winced at the destroy Konoha bit, however he was generally happy with that outcome.
"Let's get started then Kid, your hell starts now." Hawke said with a grin that scared Naruto a bit.
