Akuma no Kage Chapter 1: Leaving, Truth, and Promises!
Today was October 10 Naruto's and Nanase's birthday he had just come home from having a party at the Mitirashi house hold all his friends were there: Mikoto, Anko, Kurenai, Yuugao, Midori, Ino, Ten-ten, Tayuya, Kin, Hanabi, Hana, Kasumi, and Karin. Even Kotetsu and Izumo were there.
Naruto wasn't at his home for his birthday because for the 5th time his parents had forgotten his birthday for Nanase's. He loves his little sister dearly and is over protective of her so he doesn't care much being forgotten for her. And By a stroke of luck he and his sister were born on the same day but 4 years apart.
Naruto bid farewell to his friends and headed home to sleep but when he got home he realized that Nanase's party was still going on and it was easily past 2 am already.
Naruto walked into his home and closed the door and he walked through the room where the party was being held with an emotionless face trying to get to his room when he suddenly heard "Naruto nii-san!"
He turned around to see his little sister running towards him and giving him a hug he smiled and put his hand through her hair and whispered 'Happy Birthday imouto' in her ears.
Kushina turned to her son with a face of sadness realizing that she had forgotten her son's birthday. She was going to say something when Minato shouted 'Hey son! You gonna join the party?'
Naruto immediately replies 'no' saying he was tired and he wanted to get some sleep, but before going to bed he hands Nanase a small box saying Happy Birthday again before going to bed.
Nanase opens the small box and gasps at what is inside it. It is a pure Golden necklace with a large pendant on the chain on one side was the kyuubi in a standing position with each tail waving behind it, and on the other side was the great dragon Dark Wing standing and roaring to the skies.
When she opened it a note fell out, she read it she cried tears of happiness because what it said.
On the Note,
'Happy Birthday Imouto your one step closer to being a great ninja! If you keep working hard and never giving up im sure that you will become a great Kunoichi one even better than Baa-chan and Kaa-chan DATTEBAYO!
'I know that you are destined for great things know that whatever happens I will always love and believe in you'
Your Loving Brother,
Namikaze Uzumaki Naruto.
In his room naruto was talking to his tenats: Hitomi (Dark Wing).
Naruto: I think its time that we left… don't you think so Hitomi-chan?
Hitomi: I believe you are correct Naruto-kun… but what will you say to all the girls? Naruto-kun what will you say to them? I don't think that they will be happy to know that their 'naruto-kun' is leaving.
Naruto shuddered at the thought of the girls being angry at him then his emotion changed to sad because he didn't want them to be sad that he is gone.
Naruto: I'll tell them that I will be back at a later time.
Hitomi: if you believe that will work then im with you Naruto-kun
Naruto: Alright, I think we should leave today…
Hitomi: Ok but you have to tell the others...
Naruto packed his belongings and then made his way to the village gates making 13 clones to confront the girls (including Nanase) as he confronted Midori himself.
Ten minutes later on his way to Midori's house he got the memories of each clone and chuckles he gave 13 different girls their first kiss without being there.
-At Midori's house-
Naruto knocked on the door and Midori's mother answered and Naruto says: Ohayo Tsumiko-san! Is Midori here I need to speak with her."
Tsumiko who is Midori's mother replied: Oh yes I will get her!
Midori approaches the door and says a quick hello to naruto which he quickly replied "I need to talk to you Midori-chan"
Midori slightly blushed at the suffix and said 'ok'
They walked to the park then Naruto began to speak…
'Hey Midori-chan…' "Yes Naruto-kun?" 'Umm I wanted to tell you that im planning on leaving Konoha tonight.' Midori began to get teary eyed but was surprised at what happened next.
Naruto lifted her chin and lightly pressed his lips against hers and whispered in her ear: 'Midori-chan I will be back in 4 to 7 years time, to come back to you and the others so cheer up okay?'
Midori nodded and then said "Naruto-kun I want you to make a promise on this flower that you will never forget any of us!" Naruto lightly chuckled and said 'I promise' and gave her another took her home.
He then ran out and away from Konoha! only to return 7 years later as Akuma no Kage!
