Chapter 1: Change and Departure

00000000

Naruto looked up at a stark white ceiling. He was in the hospital...again. He had just came back from trying to retrieve Sasuke Uchiha his former bestfriend. He didn't know why his 'bestfriend' would shove not one, but TWO Chidoris through his chest. In another universe he would have forgiven Sasuke and still tried to foolishly persue him. He was done.

He was vaguely aware that his hospital room door had opened. His un-invited guest was none other then Tsunade Senju, The 5th Hokage.

"You're lucky for your 'tenant' brat. Had he not healed your wounds you would have most certainly kicked the bucket." Stated Tsunade sternly. She got no response.

Naruto continued staring at the ceiling. He said not a word, and was just letting it flow past him. He was ignoring her to get his thought process in line. He didn't care what she stated or assumed about him or his choices. So he continued to stare at the ceiling.

Tsunade seeing no response was getting angry. This brat was ignoring her. "NA-RU-TO you better answer me NOW!!" The slug sannin said as threatening as she could. Her voice along with medium ammounts of KI to try and get his attention.

Naruto gave no reaction. He just continued to stare at the ceiling. Tsunade just sighed and left the room. Jiraiya who had been secretly watching from outside the window was frowing in thought. Sasukes betrayal must have hit him harder then he thought.

"Hey brat." Jiraiya greeted the young blonde only to get the same silent treatment. He took the time to look at the blonde more thoroughly. He nearly gasped in shock at what he saw in the blondes eyes. They held no innocence or happiness that they used to hold. They now were blank like what you would see from someone who was 'trained' by the war hawk Danzo Shimura.

He shuddered when he saw those eyes. He just settled for sitting in the window seal. That was all ruined when the door was slammed open and in came an angry bubblegum pink haired Sakura Haruno.

"NARUTO-BAKA!!!! YOU PROMISED TO BRING SASUKE-KUN BACK TO ME!!" Shrieked the angry girl until she overstepped her boundaries and punched the already injured blonde in the face breaking his nose and busting his lip. Jiraiya jumped off his window ledge and restrained the girl.

"You need to leave little girl before you get hurt." Threatened Jiraiya coldly. Sakura flinched and ran out of the door as fast as she came in. Jiraiya sighed he certainly wasn't expecting that little soap opera.

He looked at his godson and saw that he made no physical indication of being in pain. He was just blank. No emotion, and No reaction whatsoever.

"Whenever you get out of here we will be going on a 3 year training trip alright?" Jiraiya said to his godson only to get silence in return. He sighed and jumped out the window and onto the rooftops.

(1 Day Later)

Naruto was finally released from the hospital. He trudged to the front gate where Jiraiya had said to meet him.

He waited for 3 hours. Normally he would be angry and cursing up a storm, but he was just watching the tree leaves blowing in the wind.

Jiraiya had been there for 2 hours watching his godson. He was expecting Naruto to lash out at the air around him. His expectations weren't met. He wanted to hear Naruto call him 'Ero-sennin' again. He sighes as he dropped his cloak jutsu.

"Why haven't you packed anything brat?" Jiraiya asled curiously seeing no bag on his students back.

"I have nothing to pack." Naruto stated monotonously. Jiraiya flinched at that tone. He then sighed and walked down the dirt road with his student walking in step with him. Naruto never noticed a pair of lavender orbs watch him go sadly.

(3 Days Later)

Naruto was laying on his hotel bed. Where was his sensei at? Well he said he had to go meet up with a 'contact' which was more or less going to peek on the local hot springs. Naruto decided to leave if he was going to be left by himself during these three years, then he didn't need hindrances like Jiraiya weighing him down.

He dug into the sannins bag for his portfolio and any other items that could be used to track him. Without so much as a worry he left the hotel taking his time.

(2 Hours Later)

Naruto was deep in a forest. He felt something calling him here. So naturally with nothing better to do he answered the call. He trudged through brush and branches until he got closer to where the feeling was getting stronger.

About another 10 minutes of walking he came across an ordinary tree. Well he saw a symbol of an eye that had a drop going from the bottom lid and 3 triangles posing as eyelashes. He touched the symbol and felt a pull on his soul as if reading him.

After about 5 minutes of standing there the tree opened up enough for one person to fut through with a small spiral staircase leading down. He went down the stairs after the opening closed it was dark at first but as he travelled further down the stairs it started to get brighter.

He finally made it down the stairs and gasped in shock at what he saw. It looked a giant wood cabin with a mix of stone. What really caught his attention was all the scrolls in a giant bookshelf and an outfit fitting on a manican.

(A/N: Picture Sheiks outfit in red and black) He also saw a tanto in the same color. He looked at a certain picture. His heart nearly stopped when he saw the name.

Kushina Uzumaki

She had red hair that was braided and at the end was wrapped in bandages with a little spear at the end. She also had this outfit on that was on the manican. He looked at the outfit and saw a seal that adjusts to the users size and build.

He also saw a letter addresses to him.

Dear Sochi

Hey Sochi. My name is Kushina Uzumaki and i'm you kaa-san. I know me and him left you by yourself but i figured i could leave you with all of this since it is your heritage from my side of the family.

You see i come from the Uzumaki clan which are descendants of the Shiekah Tribe thousands of years ago. You and your children must carry on our legacy Naruto an know that i will always love you.

Love Kaa-san

Naruto shed tears for the first time since he was young. He had a mom that loved him! He was also apart of a clan as well as an ancient tribe. He was going to learn everything in this library and master it for his mother. He then noticed something else on the letter.

P.S If you've learned the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu then you should know that whatever the clone does you receive its memory and experience.

Naruto wanted to slap himself. How could he have not known this! I mean he spams them like there going out of style!! He shrugged, At least he has that information now. He made a familiar cross hand sign and created 200 clones.

"Alright i want 100 of you to practice Tree climbing and water walking but be careful to not get caught by anyone. The other hundred read eerything on that bookshelf while i check the rest of the place out and work on my training schedule.

A chorus of "Hais" was his response as they went off to do there own thing. There waa just one thing to do. He bit his thumb and flipped through handsigns.

"Summoning Jutsu." Said Naruto as he slammed his hand down to summon Gamakichi his personal summon.

"Yo. Naruto what's up?" Said the little orange toad. Naruto looked down and saw his summon had gotten a tad bit bigger since the chunin exams standing up to his thighs.

"I need you to relay a message to your father. Tell him under no circumstances is he to tell Jiraiya about my whereabouts. Can you do that?" Naruto asked the toad.

"Yeah, but why did you run away from Jiraiya? I thought he was going to train you?" Naruto scoffed at that.

"Oh please. That pervert cares more about his 'research' then making me stronger to fight the Akatsuki or protect myself." Stated Naruto. Gamakichi nodded knowing all about Jiraiyas habits from his father.

"All right well just be careful okay?" Said the taod as he stuck his fist out for a fist bump. Naruto smiled a tiny smile, and met his fist with his own.

"Yeah i will. Ja ne." Naruto said as the toad poofed back to his world. He sighed as he began writing his training schedule. That was before the clones he made read all the scrolls dispelled all at once giving him a massive headache, causing him to pass out.

(The Next Day)

Naruto woke up with a groan and what felt like a hangover. His head was theobbing so hard it felt like Tsunade used him for a punching bag.

He sorted out all the memories of his clones, and noticed the fighting style of the Sheikahs relied on extreme flexibility and speed. It also relied on precise striking that reminded him of the fightsing style Hinata and Neji used. He then started to stretch so he could be limber enough to do the torturous excercises.

It was going to be a long 3 years.

End of Chapter.
