Tsunade's Office_ _ _ _
"You may enter." Tsunade said as she heard knocking at the door of her office.
Inoichi Yamanaka entered immediately, and the look on his face did not promise good news in the slightest. The six files that he held in his hands hinted at the subject that brought him there.
"I take it that you have completed the evaluations?" Tsunade asked, glancing at the clock. It was almost one in the afternoon. She saw him nod. "Shut the door and take a seat. Then, you can tell me about it."
Following her orders, Inoichi soon found himself sitting across the desk from Tsunade. Clearing his throat, he said, "First, we have Shikamaru Nara. Upon reaching Chunin, he was required to undergo a mental evaluation, since conducting his last one we have more recent data to work with."
As he said that, Inoichi placed a file on Tsunade's desk.
Opening the file and studying it over carefully, the Hokage's eyes widened. "He's more stable now than he was a month ago?"
Inoichi nodded. "It seems that the failed mission provided him with an increase in maturity and stability. He is perfectly stable, and sane. He's even lazier than I expected though. His evaluator made specific notes about that."
Tsunade nodded before she shut the file. The laziness was hardly unexpected. He was a member of the Nara clan after all.
The moment that it was shut, a new file was placed on her desk. Opening it, she saw that it was Chouji's evaluation.
"As expected from an Akimichi, Chouji is as stable as they come. The only hint of instability is a berserk button that my associate discovered. Apparently the word 'fat' is taboo around him. Like Shikamaru, he's perfectly stable and fit for the responsibilities of his position." Inoichi concluded as he picked the next file from the stack and gave it to Tsunade.
Shutting Chouji's file and taking the new file that Inoichi offered, Tsunade realized that the third evaluation was over Neji. Similar to Shikamaru, his file contained multiple evaluations. It actually contained seventeen evaluations, which would have surprised her under normal circumstances. It did not at that moment though. She knew that Neji Hyuuga had experienced great trauma due to his father's death, along with the usual trauma that a sealed Hyuuga experienced growing up.
"The first time that Neji was evaluated, he was mentally unstable enough that he was unfit for the duties and responsibilities as a shinobi. Every evaluation after that was better than the one before it though. He is currently even more stable than Chouji is. I suspect that learning the truth about his father had something to do with the increase in stability." Inoichi explained.
"That's good to know." Tsunade thought. She shut the file at that point, readily accepting the fourth file. She was not surprised when she saw that it was not Naruto's file. It seemed that he was saving that one for last.
"Kiba Inuzuka was one of the two Genin that my cousin Santa Yamanaka evaluated. The evaluation is not very detailed at all due to the difficulties in evaluating a member of the Inuzuka clan. The simple answer in regards to Kiba is that he is as mentally stable as a member of the Inuzuka clan can be." Inoichi said. He then handed Tsunade the second to last file.
Tsunade shuddered upon looking inside the new file. It was Rock Lee's file.
"As much as it worries me to say this, Lee is perfectly stable." Inoichi said, shocking Tsunade. "Though Lee is… eccentric… he is actually quite stable. He's as stable as Neji Hyuuga at any rate." He replied
"I don't want to ask any more about him." Tsunade said as she closed the file and stacked it with the other four files. "Now, I want to hear about Naruto's evaluation." She asked
Inoichi hesitantly handed Tsunade Naruto's file and said, "Lady Hokage, I regret to inform you that Naruto Uzumaki is mentally unstable and unfit for the duties and responsibilities of a shinobi of the Hidden Leaf Village. It is my recommendation that Naruto be stripped of his rank and removed from the Ninja Corps for no less than two years, after which he could be required to be re-evaluated." Said Inoichi
That had Tsunade's attention and anger. She could not believe that Inoichi had said that. It was even worse that the file matched his assessment perfectly.
"You've got to be kidding me. What do you mean by that?" Tsunade asked in anger.
"Naruto Uzumaki suffered a traumatic childhood of isolation. He never had a family of any kind, and he was never taught the things a parent would teach a child. The stunted development as a result of all that has caused him a certain degree of mental instability. The impact of learning what he carries inside him, using its chakra, and fighting his best friend in what was nearly a death match has worsened his mental instability to dangerous levels. As it is, I fear for our village if he remains a shinobi. As a Jinchurriki, his instability is far more dangerous than that of a normal shinobi." Inoichi answered, not backing down in the slightest.
Tsunade closed her eyes as she thought about everything that Inoichi said. She barely held back the tears at the realization that Inoichi was correct. He would not have given that assessment to her if he had not believed that it was one hundred percent accurate.
"I hope you can forgive me, Naruto" she thought. As she already imagine how he'd take the news
"You may leave now, Inoichi." Tsunade said, surprising him. "I cannot refuse your recommendation, especially not when it was given as a result of my own orders. Following the laws that my grandfather set forth, I have no choice but to go through with the recommendation. I will inform Naruto myself." Tsunade said. She felt a small part of herself die on the inside just by speaking those words.
As soon as Inoichi was gone, Tsunade sent one of her ANBU body guards to escort Naruto there.
After a few minutes the door opened "Hey Granny Tsunade, did you need something? And can we hurry this up I was just about to head out for some ramen" said Naruto as he closed the door behind him. Tsunade looked at him for a moment she couldn't believe what she was gonna do to the young blonde in front of her.
"Naruto, sit down." Tsunade said sadly as she looked at him with such sadness in her eyes
Naruto didn't know why but he felt noticeably nervous. No one ever asked him to sit down when they were delivering good news, after all. Nonetheless, he sat down in the chair across from Tsunade without question.
"Naruto, I need to talk to you about the mental evaluation that Inoichi Yamanaka performed on you earlier today." Tsunade said.
"Why do you want to talk about that? He said that he'd tell you all about it." Naruto asked. It was clear at that moment that he was not aware of the actual results of the evaluation. She was not surprised though. That was not the type of thing Inoichi would have felt comfortable telling Naruto about.
Tsunade took a deep breath before she uttered the worst possible news ever to him "Naruto, your evaluation showed that you are mentally unstable and unfit for the duties and responsibilities of a shinobi of the Hidden Leaf Village. It has been recommended that you be stripped of your status as a shinobi of the Hidden Leaf Village for a period of no less than two years. After those two years are up, you can undergo another mental evaluation. If, at that time, you are found to be stable and fit for the duty of a shinobi of this village, then you will be made a Genin again. I am sorry, but I am going through with this recommendation." Said Tsunade as she soon saw the blonde's reaction to the news
As for Naruto he was astonished he couldn't believe at what she had just told him, his dream to become Hokage, the promises he made to Neji and Sakura and all the others as well had just shattered Naruto felt like Sasuke had just shoved another two Chidori's into his body if not worse after a few second's Naruto put his head down trying to hold all his tears in.
"you're telling me that I'm kicked out of the Ninja Crops on the grounds of mental instability, which means I will never be able to be Hokage, and you're telling me that you're sorry?, after everything I've done for the village this is what I deserve" he said As he rose to his feet so fast that his chair fell backwards.
"I'm sorry Naruto I don't have a choice, this is what has to be done, after everything that you've been though, and everything that has happen recently the village think's that this is for the best" said Tsunade as she tried to keep it all together
"You're fucking sorry! After everything I've done, after all the bull shit I went through to help this fucking village this is how it repays me" said Naruto in a very angry voice
"Naruto you have to understand I didn't want to do this but I have to, for the sake of the village, we can't allow you to be a ninja please understand" said Tsunade
"Understand…. Understand what! You took my dream the only thing I had, it was the only thing that kept me sane, after all the beatings, the names, the look's, being Hokage was everything to me and you crushed that, and you're sorry for that!" he said even angrier than before but just before Tsunade was gonna speak Naruto turned around and untied his head band and muttered the word's "I hope this village burn's" as he kicked the door open and exited the Hokage manor.
The last Senju was visibly shaking as the tears slow fell from her eyes. I'm so sorry… Naruto…
As Naruto walked back to his apartment he still couldn't believe what happened he had so many mixed feelings of anger, sadness, pitiful, depressed and so much more, He personality never considered the possibility that he would be considered mentally unstable though. It was not exactly common for a shinobi to be declared unstable enough to warrant removal from the Ninja Corps, after all. And what hurt the most was the fact that even if the two year period anyone that was removed from the Ninja Corps due to mental instability was ineligible for the position of Hokage at any point in their lifetime.
After some time he finally arrived to his apartment he sadly entered his apartment and quickly closed the door he then went to his room not even bothering to change his clothes he laid on the bed looking at the ceiling. Naruto was certain of one thing at this moment He truly did hate Tsunade. That was the only way he could describe his feelings towards her at that moment. She had betrayed him in the most unimaginable way. Sure, he might not have been banished or anything, but he suspected that such an action would have been less cruel. Soon tears went down his face as he tried to sleep but it was no use for him it truly the worst day of his young life.
Why… Kaasan?
at the Memorial stone
As Naruto was crying himself to sleep, Kakashi was standing in front of the Memorial Stone near the Third Training Ground. Kakashi kept looking at his best friend's name on the stone; Naruto had reminded him about Obito so much. He at this moment that wasn't the only thing he was thinking about He had been headed to talk to Tsunade a short while ago about the arrangements of Jiraiya taking Naruto away from the village on the training trip that had been planned.
Consequently, Kakashi had just passed Naruto when he went up the stairs; he noticed the sad and angry look that Naruto had as he passed him. So when Kakashi went to the office he had noticed the door was on the floor. He then saw the sadden face of Tsunade as he entered. After that Tsunade told him everything that had happened and what Naruto had told her
"If I had been in his position, I would have said worse, much worse." Kakashi thought.
Kakashi did not agree with Tsunade's actions in the slightest. He believed that Inoichi Yamanaka's assessment was clearly wrong as well. He was Naruto's sensei and knew him better than anyone alive. There was no way that Naruto was mentally unstable. Well, there was no way that he was mentally unstable enough to warrant removal from the Ninja Corps, at least.
"There's something going on here that I know for sure. Naruto couldn't have failed that mental exam Inoichi knows how hard Naruto life's been, and he know how Naruto can be, so why fail him"Kakashi thought. It wasn't that he did not trust Inoichi but something was amiss he just wasn't sure what. He did not like the prospect of anything going on that he was incapable of seeing, either. Having the Sharingan made him used to being able to see through anything, including Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, Taijutsu, and deception.
But one thing was for certain to Kakashi at that moment though.
"I need to get a message to Lord Jiraiya" Kakashi thought as he looked towards the horizon. "If my plan is to work, I'll need some help."
His eyes went back to the Memorial Stone the second after those thoughts passed. His eyes immediately went to the name of his sensei with a practiced eye. Very few people could locate a name on the stone without a second thought, and Kakashi was one of them. No one spent more time at the stone than he, after all.
"Minato- sensei, Kushina what would you have done, if you were here to see this?" thought Kakashi as the image on his sensei and his wife came into his mind as he rushed though the horizon
