Chapter 2 Konoha's demon

Naruto climbed the stairs of his apartment complex pulling his key out from the pocket in his forehead protector where he put it 3 years ago. One thing was sure he was glad to be home again. Opening the his front door Naruto was met with a horrible stench, from inside his apartment he saw piles of garbage bags slung about the place.

'dam land lord probably just started using this as a trash dump since I left' the land lord had never liked me, ever since I was little always trying to run me off or kicking me when ever he got a chance 'He'll pay for this'

"Well I have an idea, if its revenge you're looking for"

'I'm not going to kill him over something stupid as this'

'hahahaha no I wasn't planning anything that drastic' as the Kyubi filled him in on the plan a smile played arose his face as his prankster glint came in to his eye. He quickly created a mass of clones that sprung in to action at once to carry out the plan.


Misanto was curling up in his bed for the night in the managers room at the bottom of his building, completely unaware of the young blond ninja with a grudge against him. 'Yes life was good' Misanto thought to him self. While not being a rich man he was quite well off as he was surrounded by his "wealth" tapestries hanging on the wall, little statues by the famous 'Isato Suzumiya'.

Well they were excellent knock off's of the great 'Isato Suzumiya', but they were so good, that he was positive no one but Isato him self could tell the difference he pointed them out to any guest foolish enough to enter his abode. And of course there was his pride and joy his fully functional replica samurai sword that he managed to scam off a old man in a pawn shop 2 city's over.

Yes he thought to him self life was very good, he was even collecting full rent on the demon brat's apartment and he wasn't even here. Misanto had even started to dump his trash in 'its' room instead of having the trash collected. Sure it was a pain in the ass climbing to the top of the building but it was going to be worth it when the brat returned. He didn't even care if the other residents complained about the smell he just simply told them that it was the close proximity of the demons 'lair' as he would call it to those of age to know of the secret.

Ah how he loved to use that excuse if the water heated was broken he would just get a sad look on his face and tell them that it was the demons fault. Of course that excuse didn't work as well as it used to ever since that fool of a woman became Hokage. Her no tolerance on people who spoke ill of the demon brat, had many people sitting in jail or the hospital after saying something out of line.

The Third even though he set down the law wouldn't do anything unless it happened in front of him. Even most of his eyes and ears most didn't stop you until it got out of hand then it would just be a slap on the wrist or at worst being detained for a few hours. But ever since the attempted Sound and Suna invasion everyone began looking at him differently. Mostly every one was shocked at how well he did in the Chunin exam beating not only a Hyuga but the prodigal Neji Hyuga claimed to be a genius.

After the attack 'The boy' helped out around the village usually till he fell over from exhaustion. Some villages were even saying what a nice person he was, once you got to know him. Misanto wasn't going to be fooled though he knew the boy was a demon and he was going to do everything he could to make its life miserable.

At that moment and awful stench filled the room he turned on his bed side light he jumped out of bed and pulled back the sliding door separating the two rooms. There sat 15 garbage bags scattered about his living room and kitchen. The over whelming stench upon opening the door made him keel over and vomit up the contents of his stomach all over his floor. When he recovered at turned around there he saw another 4 bags on his bed where he was moments before. His eyes immediately saw a small furry looking at him from the bed top. Minato screamed in rage pulling his prized sword off the wall and began hacking at his bed in an attempt to kill his fuzzy intruder.

Try as he might he the rat was always avoided being struck. A few stray slashes cut in to the bags of trash spilling its contents on to the bed which just infuriated Misanto more his strikes became wilder as he used both hands cutting deep in to the bags. As if deciding his work was done the rat jumped behind the bed and burst in to a small puff of white smoke. The intruders departure went unnoticed by the only person left in the room, who was blindly hacking his bed to pieces.

Naruto's smile got wider as his brain was filled with the memories of his shadow clone. He turned around to look over his apartment, the trash was gone but the smell remained it would take a day of solid scrubbing to get this place clean. Naruto sighed he was looking forward to spending a night in his bed again after 2 years. He went around opening the windows to help get rid of the smell. He bent down in front of his bed and pulled out a kunni from his pouch and jabbed it in between the floor boards and pried the board up enough to get his fingers under it.

Under the floor board was a small box about a foot long. He opened it, inside were all the birthday presents that he had ever received, some from Iruka-Sensai one or two from other friends like Sakura, Sasuke and Kakashi. But most of them were anonymous just left by his front door on his birth day. Who ever it was had to be a ninja because no mater how hard he tried he could never catch them. His only clue was a stack of cards with identical hand writing saying 'Happy Birthday Naruto' in spirally hand writing. Inside were his old goggles, a pair of fingerless gloves he'd out grown, a spinning top, a pair of sunglasses that were broken in a fight the first time he wore them but he still saved all of the pieces and lastly 4 small cards that wished him a happy birthday.

These were his treasures, his precious gifts the things that kept him going when all hope seamed lost. He ran his fingers over the items briefly before closing the box and packing it in his bag. Replacing the floor board and locking the door as he left.


Naruto walked around town trying to decide if he should get a room for the night or just camp out. The people in town used to overcharge him up the wazu when he was a kid, He wasn't sure if things had changed since he left. Most people didn't stare at him at the moment, they just walked by him like he was any ordinary person, it was just being like in any other city. almost he could still make out people who stared at him darkly from the corners of his eyes. Still every hard stare cut like a knife, he had saved the village so many times he had sweat and bled for the village hidden in the leaves. Yet there were still people that looked at him with such disdain it hurt, more that he was willing to admit. After years of traveling around the world and seeing so many things it was hard to come back to the place that he called home and be treated like an intruder. Naruto was lost in these thoughts as he walked through Konoha.

After about half and hour Naruto decided to get a hotel for the night, when he heard a commotion coming from one of the near by bars he went closer for a look.

"I think you've had enough" said a woman's voice before a loud 'Smash'

"Wha..'hicup' ar you u tall talkn abouut ten-chan, i had just the won" came the slurred speech that sounded familiar. Naruto looked over the crowd most of which he was tall than. Naruto saw a familiar looking Chunin downing a bottle of sake at the bar. Gai-sensai?

"Lee no more that's enough" came the woman's voice again. Lee? The pieces started to fit together it wasn't Gai that was drunk it was 'The Gai clone' Lee that was pissed drunk. Naruto the woman standing well away from the drunk Chunin in front of a collapsed table. Look's like some one got on lee's bad side. Naruto glanced back across the bar Dam Tenten's hot thought Naruto as his eyes fell upon 'the woman' 'dam Ero-sennin rubbing off on me' as he mentally kicked him self.

"oh yous want to fight then" said the inebriated lee. Naruto pause in his own mental ass kicking. Lee looked serious he could feel his fighting spirit from 10 feet away, and Tenten didn't look like she was ready for a fight.

"Oyi Lee how about a walk" said the blond ninja before he could stop him self

The inebriated ninja, and everyone else turned to look at him. Naruto pushed his way threw the crowd easily as he was a foot taller than most of the people here. When he go to the front of the crowd he flashed Ten-ten a smile and a wink before turning back to lee.

"Yoo Look Just like this guy I Use to no" said the drunk

"Lee its me, Naruto" replied the ninja closing in on the wrecked bar

"NARUTO" replied the drunk boy in a voice to loud to be used in doors "its yoo"

"Yea Its me" said Naruto trying to keep his movements slow he really didn't want to get in to a fight with lee. He was sure he could win but he was also sure one wrong move could put him in a world of hurt.

"Naruto how's about a drinks?" asked lee

Naruto eyed the inebriated Chunin before saying "How about a walk out side"

Lee eyed him dangerously getting very close to Naruto "for a drink" added Naruto quickly

"Yess a drink in the moon light is very youthful" said lee. Naruto could see Ten-ten giving her approval with a nod.

Lee headed for the door all of the spectators wisely made way for him Naruto and Ten-ten followed quickly. They managed to steer him toward the empty canal walk except for a few couples that were oblivious to the world out side each other. The three leaned over the railing watching the water flow beneath in silence.

Naruto struggled for a subject to talk about finally grasping out blindly "so lee hows Sakura?" Immediately lees head shot up, and he could see Ten-ten shaking her head.

"Sa ku ra? Oooo I see you want 2 Fight for me for her then" said lee entering a fighting stance.

"Lee don't do it" said Ten-ten backing away, Lee wasn't listening. She knew with out her weapons she wasn't going to be much use.

Naruto quickly went on the defensive as a fist wized by his head, he already knew lee was fast, faster than he could hope to be. But he had been training with one of the legendary Sannin for crying out loud. Even so his defense was put to the test, Lee was fast when he had left and if possible he was even more so now. Naruto kicked off the ground doing a back flip to get some distance between him self and the drunken beast of Konoha.

"My flaMe of youttthh burns BRIGHTLY" said lee shouting the last part for all to hear.

"Lee can't we talk about this" said Naruto holding up his hands defensively. Lee didn't appear to hear him as he charged again. Naruto kicked out hard at lee's gut lee spun just before it hit him but continued forward out of the spin. Lees fist shot out at Naruto but instead of the puch he was expecting, Lee grabbed the front of his jacket pulling him over his head to slam him in to the ground. A gasp escaped Naruto s lips before he exploded in to a puff of white smoke leaving a log in his place.

Lee stared at the log for a second before a foot connected with the side of his head from behind. Lee rolled a few times before connecting with the guard rail. Lee got back on to his feet shakily. Fighting lee when he's serious is such a pain in the ass one false move and he would end up in a world of pain, Incentive not to mess up then, he thought to himself.

Naruto decided it would be best to end this quickly before things got out of hand.

"Kage Bushin betabetano Jutsu" cried Naruto 2 clones appeared next to him. "OK you guys know what to do" the doppelgangers gave him a nod, as they jumped to intercept Lee. One jumping to lees left the other straight on. Naruto took a few steps back for safety.

Ten-ten saw Naruto take a few steps back and wondered what he was up to, she was well aware of Naruto's unpredictable nature. She watched as lees fist connected with the Naruto clone in front of him. As soon as he did the clone exploded in to a shower of white substance that stuck to Lee where ever it landed.It looks like Glue! Thought Ten-ten as she saw Lee's fist immobilized by the clone goop. Meanwhile the other clone circled around on lees now bound side and jumped on to his back self detonating as he did. Completely trapping him, Naruto walked up and punched him hard enough on the temple to knock him out. Lee stuck in the plaster hard glue just slumped where he stood giving a grunt.

"Gees Ten-ten, what caused him to go off like that I just asked him how Sakura was?" said the blond turning to Ten-ten

"Nice to see you too Naruto" she said putting her hands on her hips Glaring at him.

"eh…Hi Ten-ten wh.." started not sure why she was mad "I'm back?" asked

A smile split across her face. "good, now what's this stuff.." said Ten-ten reaching out to touch the goop.

"AHHH don't touch it" cried Naruto "I developed it when I was with Ero-Sennin he told me it didn't matter how powerful I was if I couldn't hit anyone" Naruto's mind flashed back to when he fought Kabuto he only got a hit on him because he let him stab him first. "Then some gum got stuck on my shoe and it gave me the idea about clones that explode in to a ball of gum, to hold my enemies while I knock the crap out of them."

"Oh that's quite the idea Naruto, but how do we get him out of it?" asked Tenten

"Ah" said Naruto as he scratched the back of his head "well I haven't figured that out yet, it disappears after a while, but I haven't found anything that can dissolve it with out burning the person as well."

"So are we just going to leave him here?" she asked

"No no ill cut him out it just take a while"

"Well then I'm going to collect my date from back at the bar, ill be right back" as she ran back in the direction of the bar.

'Huh date?' Thought Naruto 'I wonder who her date is' as he pulled out a kunai and filled it with air infused chakra and set to work.

Naruto had Lee cut free after about 10 minuets of cutting and set him on a bench. Ten-ten returned soon after carrying an unconscious person, he couldn't make out to much detail from far away. As they got closer he recognized the unconscious form and couldn't keep his voice down "NEGI?"

Ten-ten immediately clamped a hand over his mouth "SHUT up Naruto were trying to keep it a secret" she said in a loud whisper. Giving him an angery glare.

"Sorry but your dating 'Negi stick up the ass Hyuga'" said Naruto in a whisper with an incredulous look on his face.

She smiled a little bit "He's not that bad any more he's really mellowed out over the last couple years"

"Eh" Naruto gave her a look that he would believe it when saw pigs fly

"Anyway give me a had getting these two home"

He gave a nod and took Negi and slung him over his shoulder and did the same with Lee, looking a little strainedunder there combined weights, including Lees training weights.

Ten-ten hid her smile with her hand "wouldn't it be easier to create a clone to help?" she asked.

"Well a clone's strength is proportional to the person their cloned from, right so if I'm stronger then my clones will be stronger" he said after thinking for a second

"I guess that makes a strange kind of sense " she replied

As Naruto began following Tenten through Konoha

"So how did lee manage to knock out Negi for so long?" asked Naruto as the walked.

"Well only part of it is lees doing" she said as she smiled "Negi is bit of a light weight and he ended up stumbling in to Lee who swallowed some sake he had been holding since we showed up." Looks like Sakura turned him down again she thought to her self "so Lee lashed out at Negi and ended up knocking him threw the table, that's about when you walked in" she finished

"Looks like there both going to have on hell of a hang over in the morning" laughed Naruto. They made small talk as they walked, Naruto found out that she and Negi had been dating shortly after he and lee had moved in together over a year ago. And he told her why he was out on the street so late leaving out the mountain of trash in his apartment just saying that his apartment was not safe for any living being, so she told him she could sleep at Lees and Negi's for the night. They talked about the village and what had happened for the last 3 years.

They reached the unconscious ninja's apartment a few minuets later Tenten said good night after getting the boys in to bed. Naruto lay on the couch thinking over the events of the day. He was really glad to be home with his friends, just then a great idea came to mind, he reached for his marker pen.


The next morning two voiced could be herd screaming "NARUTO"
