Here is my second chapter. I have changed the title to this story but obviously not much. Now please read, enjoy and review.
Naruto walked and walked, he had woken up hours ago and all he's been doing is walking since then. Naruto didn't know where he was going, because he wasn't paying attention to his surroundings. He only payed enough attention to notice that he was in a forest of some kind, he knew this forest, but he just couldn't figure out which one it was. Not that he really cared, so he just looked at his feet and continued to walk.
As Naruto wondered through the unknown forest he seemed to be in, he wondered through his thoughts as well, "What am I going to do? What can I do? Now I can never become Hokage! Why? Why is this happening to me? What should I do? I cant ever become Hokage, so what do I do with my life? My life is meaningless now, isn't it? Maybe it would have been better if I died in the battle against Sasuke. Goddamn it! Why did I have to have the nine tails sealed inside me? Why couldn't it have been someone else?"
Naruto let his tears begin to fall once again, he really had no purpose in life anymore. Naruto cried for several minuets, until he felt like breaking down again, but before his body could quit out on him, he heard a noise. Naruto quickly looked around and realized just where he was, he was deep in the forest of death. Naruto continued to looked around, he didn't understand how he had wondered into the forest of death without knowing it. Naruto quickly wiped his face of tears but before he could move another muscle he was locked in a choke hold.
Naruto grabbed at the arms restricting his breathing, he struggled and struggled but he was beginning to lose consciousness. But Naruto managed to pull out one of his kunai's and stab the perpetrator in the hand. The kunai entered the attackers flesh, so he let go of Naruto, Naruto quickly turned around to see Kabuto was the one who had him in the choke hold. Naruto fought for air, as Kabuto pulled out the kunai, threw it down to the ground and used his medical ninjutsu to heal himself.
"Heh. Well if it isn't Naruto, what are you doing out here?"
"Yeah like I'm going to tell you!"
"Hmm. I don't really care, just curious. Wait a minuet...are you trying to get Sasuke to comeback again?"
"What's it to you?"
"Like I said before, just curiosity. But if you haven't noticed Sasuke wants power and lord Orochimaru can give it too him. So it's no use to try and bring him back, he doesn't want to come back, ever."
Naruto gritted his teeth, he hated this guy.
Kabuto looked Naruto up and down for a moment, "Ah. I see you've been exiled from the Hidden Leaf."
"What did you just say?"
"You heard me. I can tell from your small bag, the lack of your headband and the rawness of your eyes, you've been crying."
"Yeah, and?"
"And it's funny."
"What did you just say?"
"I said it's funny."
That was it, Naruto couldent take it anymore, all his sorrow and the hate he felt for Orochimaru and the old man who exiled him began to swirl together and on top of that Kabuto just made fun of him. Inside Naruto's mind there was a voice not his own, "Come, let us show him what happens when somebody to patronize's us. Take a bit of my power and use it...to destroy him!"
Naruto's eyes quickly turned red and his pupils turned into slitted fox pupils, he grew fangs from his mouth and his fingernails grew to new lengths, sharpened like knifes.
"You think it's funny? I will be the last thing you laugh at...EVER!"
Naruto's body was then encased in a red chakra aura in the shape of a fox, Naruto charged towards Kabuto, but before he could dodge Naruto gave a hard right hook to his face. Kabuto was knocked to the ground and thanks to the impact rolled several feet away.
Kabuto quickly stood up, a small trickle of blood pouring out his mouth and streaming down onto his chin. Kabuto wiped the blood onto his right arm's sleeve. Kabuto then looked directly at Naruto and spoke, "You'll pay for that, you brat!" Kabuto quickly formed his chakra dissection blade and charged towards Naruto. Kabuto slashed at him, so he jumped several feet into the air, Kabuto followed Naruto into the air, wanting to finish him off quickly. Kabuto shot the chakra blade forward but Naruto dodged, he moved so fast it was as if he teleported.
Naruto appeared behind Kabuto, mid-air, slammed both of his knee's into Kabuto's back and then kicked him down towards the ground. Kabuto hit the ground hard and his chakra dissection blade disappeared. He began trying to get up, Naruto quickly landed on the ground and raced towards Kabuto. Naruto jumped on top of Kabuto, pinned him to the ground and began to repeatedly punch him in the face. Naruto was too strong when he was like this, for Kabuto to break away from him.
Naruto punched him, punched him and punched him, he broke Kabuto's glasses and broke Kabuto's nose causing blood to gush out of it. Naruto Knocked a few teeth out of Kabuto's mouth and finally Naruto grabbed Kabuto's head with both hands, dug his nails into Kabuto's skin, lifted his head two inches off the ground, brought his own head back and slammed his head into Kabuto's head as hard as he could. Busting both His and Kabuto's heads open, they were both bleeding from their foreheads.
But before Naruto could do anything else he was interrupted.
"fire style: Fireball jutsu!"
Naruto quickly looked up, but just as he saw the fireball coming at him, it hit him, knocking him off of Kabuto. Naruto rolled on the ground from the impact, but he quickly got back up. He gritted his teeth and stared at the one who had hit him with a fireball, Sasuke Uchiha.
"Naruto, your a fool. Now your actions will warrant your death."
Orochimaru walked up behind Sasuke and glanced at Kabuto, he was unconscious.
"Ahh, the Nine Tails chakra. You are a reckless one aren't you? Did you come out here alone just to finish your mission? That is foolish."
Naruto snarled at Orochimaru. Orochimaru looked Naruto up and down, "Well it looks like you didn't come here for a mission after all."
Sasuke just glanced towards Orochimaru then turned his attention back to Naruto, Orochimaru then continued, "Your lack of headband says enough and to top it off, your sack of belongings also says quite a bit. You've been exiled from the village haven't you?"
Sasuke looked towards Orochimaru with a questioning look and then, he looked at Naruto with a slightly concerned look. Naruto didn't like Orochimaru's deduction at all, even if it was true, "How dare you! My dreams have been crushed and as you stare at me, a dreamless person, you act like it's nothing out of the ordinary!"
Sasuke's concerned look grew a bit more, he couldn't believe Naruto had been banished from the Leaf.
Orochimaru just laughed, "Ha ha ha! It really isn't a big deal. The Leaf exiled me, a genius, that's when they proved that they are weak and idiotic. But they also exiled a no talent brat like yourself, well at least they have some brains. The truth is we were both exiled, and for what? Your a talentless kid, which is one thing, but I was on the verge of something great! No matter how different we are, we are alike."
Naruto snarled once again, "I'm nothing like you! I didn't betray my friends!"
"That may be true. But didn't they betray you? Has anyone come to help you? Your not too far from the village, someone would have been here by now...if they were coming to help you that is."
"That's it! I'll kill you here and now!"
Naruto then charged towards Orochimaru, Naruto jumped into the air and brought down his claws with the intent to kill. Orochimaru quickly dodged, since he dodged Naruto landed in the same spot he was just standing in, Sasuke took this as an opportunity to attack Naruto.
Sasuke brought up his leg and tried to kick Naruto in the face, Naruto caught his leg, twisted it and slammed Sasuke down onto the ground. Naruto quickly turned back around to face Orochimaru, but he was already in his face, Orochimaru brought up his knee with great force, slamming it into Naruto's jaw.
Naruto was knocked several feet into the air, Orochimaru watched as Naruto tried to regain his composure. Naruto failed at this of course, because Sasuke quickly jumped into the air after him. Sasuke flipped in the air and tried to slam his leg into Naruto's gut, but he caught Sasuke's leg with one hand. He then used his other hand to grab Sasuke's other leg, he then spun around and threw Sasuke towards a tree with great force. Sasuke, caught off guard by this, did not have enough time to recompose himself as he soared through the air.
He hit the tree hard and fell to the ground, Naruto landed and looked over at Orochimaru, he just smiled at Naruto. Naruto snarled once again and charged Orochimaru. Orochimaru just stood there, Naruto got up in his face to cut him to pieces but he was knocked to the ground and Orochimaru didn't even lift a finger. Naruto felt sharp pain's in his back, when he stood back up he found that his back was plastered with several shuriken. Sasuke stood by the tree he hit, his shuriken no longer on his person.
Naruto was enraged by this, "Stop interrupting!"
Naruto then charged Sasuke, Sasuke got in a defensive position to stop Naruto. Naruto brought back his right arm and shot it forward, with a balled fist. Sasuke caught Naruto's punch, Naruto threw a left hook at Sasuke, he caught that as well. So Naruto brought up his knee and slammed it into Sasuke's gut, Sasuke got the wind knocked out of him, he slammed to his knee's and coughed up a bit of blood.
Sasuke couldn't stand being so weak, but it was the after effects of him using all of his chakra in the second level of his curse mark two days ago. Sasuke, desperate as he was, grabbed the kunai that Naruto had used on Kabuto, that had been tossed to the ground and began to stand up. Naruto quickly formed ten shadow clones, they all raced towards Orochimaru, but he wasn't in the least bit worried. That was the case, until out of nowhere he was being held back by five different Naruto clones.
As the real Naruto raced towards Orochimaru, he formed a Rasengan and was ready to use it to destroy the former Sannin. But before he could get to him Sasuke quickly ran in front of him, avoided his Rasengan and sunk Naruto's own Kunai deep into Naruto's chest. Naruto dropped to his knee's, the nine tails chakra faded away and Naruto keeled over. The shadow clones that were alongside the real Naruto and the ones holding Orochimaru disappeared.
Orochimaru smiled, he did like this new Sasuke, he liked him very much, he would do anything for power...anything. Sasuke and Orochimaru carried Kabuto away and left Naruto to stay where his body had dropped, he wouldn't have to be dealt with again. Less than two hours later though Naruto's eyes slowly began to open, Naruto's eyes quickly snapped to full attention and looked all around. When no sight of an enemy was found, Naruto wrapped both of his hands around the kunai that was plunged into his chest, he pulled and pulled until it came out.
Naruto quickly found and grabbed his small bag, took out some bandages and patched himself up. He then stood up and looked around one more time just to make sure no hostiles were there. When Naruto couldn't find any, he looked around and wondered, "Which way do I go? To get to...well anywhere." Naruto gave up and just walked strait ahead, hoping to have some good luck in his future. Naruto walked for a while and just as he was about to think the forest of death was endless, he appeared outside the forest.
He had no clue how but he had made his way to the path that led to a small village, then a small dock where he could get to the land of waves from.
"Wait, maybe I could go to the land of waves and ask the bridge builder to let me stay for a little while. I hope he says yes."
Naruto, plan in hand made his way down the path, wondering if the bridge builder would help him. It took Naruto about an hour to get to the small village and another hour to convince one of the boatmen to take him to the land of waves for only a small amount of Ryo. He had to do this because if he took the bridge, he wouldn't know where to go.
But if he went by boat and was dropped off at the same spot he was dropped off at before, he'd know where to go. The ride didn't last too long before Naruto reached the land of waves, Naruto de-boarded the boat, payed the man the Ryo he owed him and set out for the bridge builders house. Naruto walked through the village in the land of waves thinking over all the places he visited here when he was younger, this made him begin to tear up again, he wanted to cry his eyes out, but he just couldn't.
Naruto tried his best to keep his focus on his plan, but every couple of minuets he would pass something that would remind him of, Sakura, Kakashi or Sasuke. Naruto shed two tears, but kept on walking. Naruto eventually found himself in the woods, in the same spot he met Haku at, he also eventually passed through the area where he, Sasuke and Sakura trained their chakra concentration at. Naruto wiped his face and continued on, he had to find the bridge builder's house and stay there until he could find a better plan for what he was going to do with his life.
Naruto realized he was getting closer to the bridge builders house, so he sped up his pace just a bit.
