I don't own Naruto

Naruto was chained to his bed in the Namikaze mansion, on his sides both his mother and sister lay asleep. Naruto looked at his family and sighed,

"What did I do to deserve this?"

Flashback

Naruto looked to the sky as he sat on the hokage monument. After not getting to eat any ramen, he needed to clear his head. He decided the best thing to do was have a quick nap, and began to lie down.

About ten minutes later Naruto was awoken from a sudden weight being put on his chest. He looked up to 2 big white eyes staring back at him.

"Hello my love," Hinata said with a smile.

"How did you know I was here?"

"I tagged you with a tracking seal silly," Naruto looked at Hinata almost coldly before smiling. Sure, she was bat-shit crazy, but she was one of the few people that truly cared for him. Besides, technically it was his fault she turned out like this. Suddenly, Narumi appeared before them.

"Naruto, it's really you," She said breathlessly. Naruto looked towards her coldly, as if her existence didn't matter. She flinched at his gaze but steeled her nerves, she had been waiting for this chance for 4 years.

"Naruto, please come home, Mom and dad miss you, I miss you." She cried out to him. His emotionless face didn't change.

"I really don't want to, however I would like to test my skills so I tell you what, let's have a little spar," Naruto said, "If you win I'll go back with you, but if I win you have to stop trying to get me to go back."

Narumi looked at her brother, disappointed in his choice, but firmed her resolve. If this was the only way to get her brother back home, so be it! She got in her stance and prepared to fight.

"Ready," Hinata said, "Hajime."

Suddenly the siblings became nothing but a blur of color as they relentlessly attacked one another. Hinata had to activate her byakugan just to keep up. Despite this, it was obvious Naruto was wining, and Narumi couldn't understand why.

Naruto's style seemed to have a lot of unnecessary moves, as if it was made to toy with her. Every punch was dodged right before it connected, even though there seemed to ample time in between. And the worst part, Naruto never threw a single punch. Finally, Narumi started to get angry. She decided she would finish this now and started sending chakra into her fist.

She exploded forward at blinding speeds before she felt her fist connect. However she was shocked to see that Naruto had stopped her fist with the palm of his foot. A simple kick had stopped one of her most powerful taijutsu moves.

"Minato and Kushina have taught you well," Naruto said plainly, "But I think it's time to end this."

Naruto pull out a deck of pure black cards and began shuffling them. The aura around him changed, as if the Shinigami was behind him, copying his movements. Then Naruto threw the deck into the air, scattering the cards around the field. Naruto quickly began forming hand seals.

"Card Style: Jokers Playground"

The cards began to glow lightly as Naruto disappeared. Not even Hinata's byakugan could see him. He suddenly reappeared in front of Narumi and punched her in the gut before disappearing. She clutched her stomach from the pain as Naruto appeared behind her and kicked her down.

"Look this was fun but I'm tired and you beaten, so we're done for now"

"Thi-is isn't o-over yet," Narumi said struggling to get up. She began to swirl chakra in her hand, hoping to beat him with her trump card. Red chakra began surrounding her as she rushed towards her brother.

"Rasengan"

"Card Style: Queen's Anger"

As the rasengan was about to connect, Narumi noticed she could no longer move. The rasengan began to shrivel out of existence and her cloak of red chakra died off. She looked down and realized she seemed to be chained in place. The chains seemed to pop out from the cards and sap her of her chakra.

"Familiar technique, don't you think." Naruto said, "I based it off of Kushina's chakra chains."

Those seemed to be the last words Narumi heard before she passed out. However she was caught by Minato who seemed to appear in a flash of light.

"Quite and interest style you've learned, what's it called?" Minato said with a smile.

"Kado-sensei called the Laughing Joker style."

"Where exactly is Asobu, I'd like to have a word with him?"

Naruto finally broke from his blank mask to look down in sadness.

"He's dead."

Minato looked at his son warily. This man, Asobu, was someone Minato truly hated for taking his son away, but at the same time, held the upmost respect for him. Asobu Kado gave Naruto something Minato never did. He gave him someone to truly look up to as a father.

Suddenly chains began to wrap around Naruto until he couldn't move. He was the tackled down by his mother. Her eyes looked puffy, as if she had been crying all day.

"I can't believe you're finally back." She said smothering her son, "Will you come back home."

"Please get away from me… all of you" Naruto said coldly. Unfortunately this only mad Kushina tighten her hug. Naruto tried hard to escape, but those damn chains were quickly draining his chakra reserves and there was nothing he could do.

"Enough of that young man, tonight, you will be with your family and you will enjoy it!" Kushina tried to say in a confident tone. She didn't want to be too hard on him, lest he leave the village again.

Flashback end

For the rest of the night Naruto just laid chained to the bed, literally waiting for something to happen. Finally he heard his window creak open.

"Onii-sama, I found you!" Konan said.

"Where have you been all day?"

"I was with a nice old man."

"Can you get me out of here?"

"Of course!"

And like that, He was out, and inside the cocoon of chains was a paper Naruto. Not wanting to wake anyone, Naruto and Konan quickly left the house.

"Wow it's already morning." Konan said off handedly.

"Well then, we should probably get ready," Naruto replied, "The academy starts today."

Konan the Explorer

After Naruto disappeared, almost everyone began searching for him. Everyone except Konan, who, being a child that can make paper wings, decided to fly and explore the village. Everything seemed so new and exciting. Of course her ability didn't go unnoticed. Many people ranging from civilian to Anbu stopped to look at Konan. It wasn't until she saw a stay shuriken that it clicked that she was an unknown girl using an unknown ability in a ninja village.

Immediately she quickened her pace, avoiding kunai, shuriken, and even fireballs. She looked behind to the Anbu following her on the rooftops. They were gaining on her, and she was running out of chakra. She decided to land in an ally way and began to run as fast as she could, but it wasn't enough. Soon she was cornered. Suddenly she heard a voice of an old man from the other side of the ally way.

"Stop!" Said the old Man, "I'll deal with her."

Soon Konan was taken to an ice cream parlor and was happy as … a kid in an ice cream parlor. The old man had given her a cone with vanilla ice cream. Unfortunately, the ice cream quickly began to melt and drip down the sides of the cone. But Konan was smart and used her paper ability to catch and she could lick up.

"That's some ability you have young lady," the old man said, "Be careful using it in public, you never know who would want to take advantage of that power."

Soon she had finished her ice cream and decided to start looking for Naruto.

"Thank you for everything old man!" she shouted.

"Please," He replied, "Call me Danzo."
