Hello Ladies and Germs! Sorry i haven't updated any of my stories for like 4 months, i has so much going on right now, but i will say some updates are coming. Now, i know this isnt fanfic, but my first comic book is almost done, and im so excited to finish drawing and writing it.
In other news, Welcome to the rewrite of Rise of the Yamikage. For those that didnt read that, its fine, dont worry about it. I hope all the fans of the past story enjoy this, as it will be different, yet contain many of the old themes and a few other things. Also, some of the characters abilities come almost exactly from Kingdom Hearts, i will change them here and there, but if you know your KH, you'll probably see them pretty easily. Now, i havent said this in a while, buuuuut, ON WITH THE SHOW!!! I can neither confirm nor deny a new austin powers movie. WRONG SHOW! But look it up, Mike Myers did say this!!!
"I can't just sit here while my friend is still chasing after a homicidal, anti-social, megalomaniac!" Shikamaru screamed. "You're team is in no condition to chase after him, you're lucky that you only got a broken finger and a burst eardrum." Tsunade said mildly irritated after operating for so long. "Naruto is still out there, that means that Sasuke has yet to be retrieved, and is still dangerous." Shikamaru said. "I agree, but i cannot send you out alone, you almost had chakra depletion just a few hours ago. Your body may be fine now, but your chakra is not." Tsunade said firmly. As Shikamaru opened his mouth to argue more, the door burst open, Izumo, one of the gate guards ran in.
"Lady Tsunade! I have urgent news! Naruto Uzumaki is at the gates with Sasuke Uchiha, both are in critical condition!" The eternal chunin reported. Tsunade flew from her desk, Shikamaru and Izumo close behind. A crowd was gathered at the gates, a large portion being civilians. "Move out of the way!" Tsunade demanded. The crowd parted, revealing a steaming Naruto, his wounds healing themselves, and a bleeding Sasuke. "Hey... Granny I, cough, did it..." Naruto said raising his fist into the air. He then fainted from exhaustion.
"Bring me two stretchers, ASAP!" Tsunade yelled. The nearest shinobi sprinted to hospital as fast as they could. Tsunade went through a few handsigns and scanned the two genin. Naruto seemed to have the most damage, but the fox in his stomach was utilizing every crack in the seal that it could reach, pooring as much of its chakra into the boy, enhancing his already impressive healing ability.
Sasuke on the other hand, was a whole different problem. His body was corrupted from the curse mark and was slowly being poisoned from the new chakra being invaided into his body. With him using so much chakra in the fight, it had opened the valve so to speak on the mark, allowing it gain a greater hold onhis psyche and chakra coils. His body wasnt in very good shape either. Burn marks littered his hand, while his shoulder was shredded from a rasengan. Both boys were near dead.
half a day later...
"Why have you summoned me here?!" Tsunade demanded. She was currently in the council room, and she wasnt the one to call it. "We are here to decide the fate of the Uzumaki boy." Said an elderly man. He had bandages over most of his face, and only had one arm, holding a staff. "There is nothing to discuss, he followed his mission objectives and orders to the letter. Sasuke Uchiha was retrieved, and both are alive." Tsunade said, her eye twitching. "Be that as it may, we have found traces of "It's" chakra at the valley of the end and at the gates. The boy must be controlled, or else." The man said. "Are you threatening one of MY ninja Danzo?" Tsunade said. "No, I am promising. If he is not under someone's control, then the civilians will surely kill him." Danzo said calmly. Tsunade sat in thought for a minute. The civilian side of the council was oddly quiet. "What do you suggest then?" Tsunade said. "Give him to me. I will train him into the weapon he should be."
Meanwhile
"Uhhh." Naruto groaned as he woke up. Don't be in the hospital. Don't be in the hospital. Naruto thought. He slowly peaked open his eye's to see a white room. "Uhhhh i hate mondays." Naruto said as he sat up. There was a knock on the door. "Come in." Naruto said. "I'm suprised your up Naruto." Shizune said as she entered the room. "You know me! Nothing can keep me down!" Naruto said witha foxy smile. Shizune giggled and said, "I guess your right. How are you feeling?"
"Pretty sore i guess. I'm definetly ready to get out of here though." Naruto grinned." Ah ah, not so fast, your not cleared to leave yet. Not till Lady Tsunade herself checks you out." Shizune said. Naruto's stomach growled. "Can i at least get something to eat?" Naruto asked. "Sure." Shizune said before leaving the room. A few minutes later there was another knock at the door. "It's open."
The door slowly opened to show Sakura. "How are you feeling Naruto?" She asked. "Hey Sakura! I feel a bit sore, but otherwise I'm fine!" Sakura approached Naruto. "That's good. Otherwise..." Sakura said. "Otherwise I wouls feel bad about this." Sakura said before she punshed Naruto into the wall, creating a human shaped crater. "S-Sakura... wh...hy?" Naruto gasped. "I told you to bring back Sasuke, Not nearly Kill him!" Sakura yelled. "You probably wanted to kill him you monster! Just so you could date me! But Newsflash, i don't like you! Especially since you nearly killed Sasuke!" She said before slamming her hands into Naruto a few times. After a minute or two of attacking Naruto, Sakura stopped. "You should have died, not nearly Sasuke." She said before leaving. Naruto passed out from the pain, a tear flowing down his cheek.
"Naruto will not become a slave with schizoid personality disorder! I forbid it!" Tsunade yelled. "Its either that, or death. Unless you have some form of an idea?" Danzo said. "If I may." A voice in the council said. Everyone turned towards the owner of the outburst. "What if we banish Naruto, for a set number of years? Give the Civilians the time to release their anger, and when the times up, Naruto returns as a ninja, under the watch of anbu for a year or so?" Said the man. "And what if he doesn't come back Shikaku?" Asked a man wearing shades. "Then we label him a missing Ninja, and have him tracked down." Shikaku said. "Is this more preferable?" He asked. Tsunade thought it over and nodded her head. "Is there anything we can hold over him to ensure he returns?" Danzo asked. "If the Uchiha stays loyal, and becomes strong enough, we can tell the boy that the Uchiha is nominated to become Hokage, it will surely bring him back." Said a man with white eyes and long hair. "Very well then, lets put it to a vote." Most of the entire council voted to banish him, including Danzo and Tsunade. The ones against were some of the lesser clans and civilians.
"Once Genin Naruto Uzumaki is out of the Hospital, he will have 6 hours to pack his things and leave the village. After that he cannot set foot here until he is called back in 5 years. He also cannot come within 30 miles of the village in that time." Tsunade decreed.
"Naruto i got you some - NARUTO!" Shizune yelled, dropping the soup she was carrying. She rushed to the unconsious blondes side, running a scan over him. "How could this have happened! I was just gone for ten minutes!" Shizune worried. Eventually, after fixing a few bones and a concussion, she placed Naruto back in bed before running to Tsunade's Office. "How am I going to break this to him." Tsunade said, a whole bottle of sake already drank. Shizune burst threw the doors, causing Tsunade to flinch from the loud noise. "Lady Tsunade! Some one attacked Naruto!" Shizune yelled.
"What!?" Tsunade demanded, standing up from her desk. The two rushed back to the hospital. whem they got to his room, Naruto was sitting up, staring at the wall, his eyes dull and lifeless. "Naruto. Are you alright?" Tsunade asked quietly. Naruto was silent. "Naruto, do you remember who attacked you?" Tsunade asked. "S-Sakura..." Naruto whispered. "Sakura!?" Tsuande said angrily. "She..." Naruto started. "What did she do?" Tsunade asked, her ear next to his mouth. "She... she said that... she wished i had died." Naruto whispered.
Tsunade's eyes widened. "Shizune, go get Sakura, bring her to my office." She commanded. Shizune nodded and left the room. "Naruto. There's something I need to tell you. And your not going to like it." Tsunade said slowly. Naruto turned to look at her. "The council, has decided that you are to be banished from the village for the next five years. After that, you are to return to the village and be watched for a year constantly by Anbu." Tsunade said, tears in her eyes. "I'm not suprised, I failed." Naruto said. "What do you mean?" Tsunade asked. "I didn't get Sakura to love me. So I failed." Naruto explained.
"What are you talking about Naruto?" Tsunade said even more confused.
"If I could make Sakura like me, then i could make everyone like me. But she wants me dead." Naruto said. Tsunade finally understood and hunged the blonde. "You've been through so much, and you still have to fight for your place in this world. " Tsunade said, a tear rolling down her cheek. "What happens if I don't come back?" Naruto asked. "Then you will be branded a missing ninja, and hunted down. You have six hours to pack your things and leave the village. This was the best I could do for you Naruto." Tsunade explained. "Thank you." He said before reaching towards his neck. "This is yours Tsunade." Naruto said, untying the necklace. "No, I cant take it back." Tsunade said. "But i will probably be dead by the time my banishment is over." He said, trying to hand her the necklace. Tsunade placed her hands on Naruto's, closing his hand around the necklace. "You won that fair and square Naruto, and you may not becone Hokage, but you are destined to change the world. This necklace proves that." Tsunade said.
She slowly kissed his forehead. "For good luck. Now go pack, and say your goodbyes." Tsunade said. "Thank you, for acknowledging me." Naruto said before leaving the room.
Knock Knock. The door opened. " Can I- Naruto? What are you doing here?" Iruka asked. "Hey Iruka-sensei, sorry to interupt your class, but can i have a word with you, Konohamaru, Udon, and Moegi?" Naruto asked. "Nows not a very good time Naruto. Whatever you wish to tell us can wait." Iruka said. "No, it really can't." Naruto said. Iruka scanned Naruto's eyes and nodded. "Konohamaru, Udon, Moegi, come here please." Iruka said. The five walked into a meeting room before Iruka said, "What is so important that you need to interupt my class and take out three of my students Naruto?" Naruto sighed, something that put Iruka off. 'There's no easy way to say this. I've been banished for the next 5 years." Iruka gasped while the Konohamaru corps just looked confused. "What do you mean boss?" Konohamaru asked. "I won't be in the village for 5 years, if at all after today. I've come to say goodbye." Naruto said.
The gravity of the situation hit the trio like a bag of bricks. "But.. whose gonna pass the mantle of Hokage to me!?" Konohamaru sniffled. Naruto kneeled down and smiled at the lad. "Hey now, no cryin. That goes for you two as well. Konohamaru, I don't know what the future holds, but promise me, if I'm not in the village after five years, that you will fufill your dream, and become Hokage." Naruto said. Konohamaru wiped the tears from his eyes and gave him a salute. "And you two. I want you to be just as strong next time we meet." Naruto said to Udon and Moegi. All three gave him a salute, befoe hugging him, and going back to class. "Iruka... thanks for looking out for me when I was a kid." Naruto said. Iruka grabbed him in a hug. "Take care... little brother." Iruka said before walking away.
"Hey Naruto!" Ayame said as Naruto walked into the stand. "Hows my best customer doing?" Teuchi said as he fired up the oven. "Not good guys." Naruto said. "Why don't you tell us about it over some ramen?" Ayame asked. "I don't have much time, but one bowl couldn't hurt." Naruto said. "Atta boy. So what seems to be the problem?" Teuchi asked. "Saying goodbye." Naruto said. "What do you mean?" Ayame ased. "You two, are the closest thing I probably have to family. And I won't be seeing you anymore." Naruto said. Teuchi turned around and looked at Ayame. The teen shrugged and turned back to Naruto. "What do you mean you wont be seeing us? Are you going on a long mission?" She asked. "No, I've been banished for the next five years." Naruto said, shocking the two. "H-how?" Ayame stuttered out. "I dont know myself. But thank you, both of you, for taking care of me all these years." Naruto said teary eyed.
Ayame and Teuchi looked at each other and nodded, before Ayame reached under the table, and pulled out a giant bowl. "We were saving this for when you became a chunin, but nows as good as time as ever." Teuchi said. "This is our Naruto sized bowl, and for you, its free." Teuchi said filling it up. "Thank you." Naruto said. "Let me give you some advice. You will never die, so long as there is at least one person who will remember you Naruto." Teuchi said, pulling out a picture frame. It was of Naruto eating the last ramen Teuchi had, said chef passed out on the floor, and Ayame laughing at her dad. "Our best customer, and an honorary Ichiraku." Ayame said before hugging the blonde and slipping a book in his pocket. Naruto ate his last Ichiraku ramen and bid them farewell.
His next stop was quite different, it was the memorial stone. "Hey old man. I don't know where they actually buried you, but i figured this would ne as good a place as ever to talk to you. I got banished for a few years, and I'm really thinking of not coming back after its over. So I just wanted to say, thanks for everything gramps." Naruto said before walking to his last destination before home.
"May I- Oh, it's you." The woman said. "Hi there Mrs. Nara, is Shikimaru here?" Naruto asked. "I'll go get him." Shikamaru's mom said. ten minutes later Shikamaru walked out the front door with a yawn. "Troublesome. Whats up Naruto?" Shikamaru asked. "Hey Shika, your looking rested." Naruto said. "Yeah, the Hokage told me to take it easy for a few days." The lazy ninja said. "Shikamaru. I don't know if you've heard, but I've been banished." Naruto said. Shikamaru's eyebrows raised nearly ino his hair. "You're serious!?" He asked. "Afraid so. I don't have much time, but I want to thank you for being a friend, and can you pass a long the messege to the others?" Naruto said. "Sure man. When do you leave?" He asked the Blonde. "Ive got about an hour and a half time I need to be put of here." Naruto explained. "Troublesome. This sucks so much you know?" Shikamaru said. "Yeah. I'll see you around Shika." Naruto said before turning to leave. "Naruto." Shikamaru said. Naeuro turned around. "Its been an honor serving with you." Shikamaru said, stretching his hand out. "And its been an honor with you Shikamaru." Naruto said shaking his hand before he left.
"Alright Uzumaki, its time to go." A cat masked wearing Anbu said, appearing in Naruto's room. "Alright, thank you for informing me." Naruto said before being escorted to the gate. "Naruto Uzumaki, you are being banished for loosing control of yourself and nearly killing your target. You cannot set foot in this village or in 30 miles of this location for the next 5 years. After that you are to return here or be hunted down by the Hunter nin. Do you have any questions?" Tsunade asked. "No." He said. "Very well, I wish you luck for the next five years." Tsunade said.
Just as he was about to leave someone from behind him said, "Oi!" Naruto turned around to see Shikamaru, Tenten, Lee, Shino, and Iruka. "What are you guys doing here?" Naruto asked. "You can't leave with out our parting gifts." Shino said. "Yes! Our Youthful gifts will help you very much Naruto!" Lee said. Iruka was first, and handed him a box. "Inside are the tools you'll need." Iruka said before stepping back. "Yosh! Here you go my Youthful friend!" Lee said handing Naruto a scroll. Shino handed him a book. "This should help you significantly." Shino said before Tenten stepped up. "Here. I may not have known you for very long Naruto, but i wish we could have spent more time with each other." She said before giving him a box and a kiss on the cheek.
Finally, Shikamaru stepped forward. "It's not going to be the same with you gone." He said. "At least it will be less troublesome." Naruto said with a laugh. "Yeah. Anyway here. I suggest page 43." Shikamaru said handing Naruto a book. Naruto raised his eyebrow before putting it with his other stuff. "And here. I made this for you." He said handing him a star shaped pendant. It had a cream colored outline with orange glass in the holes and the swirl normally seen on the back of chunin jackets in the middle. "It's a wayfinder. With it, you will always find a way back to your friends, even if it takes years. I made it out of the antlers of some of our deer and some orange glass." Shikamaru said. "Thank you, all of you." Naruto said before pocketing everything and jumping into the woods.
There we go! Remember how i said kingdom hearts stuff? It has just begun haha. Anyway i hope everyone likes it. Its different from before, but i have a reason for this. just wait. I bid you all adieu!
