At the gates of Konoha

Sai arrived just as the large group of ANBU were leaving. They all knew their mission; to find the newly made missing nin and bring him back alive before any more - permanent - damage could be done. One turned as Sai shouted for them to wait.

"Why are you here." One spoke with clear demand in his voice. Sai began talking without any of his usual remarks or insults.

"I'm coming with you. Naruto is my friend and I'm not letting him leave us." With those words spoken he turned and started walking out of the village. Everybody else - anbu and bystanders alike - looked at each other wide eyed, nobody thought that's Sai could be able to act like that.

Sai started running, leaving Konoha behind with his decision that; If Naruto doesn't come back, neither would he.

"I'm coming." He said to the wind. With new found resolve, he sped through the trees in search of his best friend.

Somewhere in the land of water...

"Dang it! Why don't these people have ramen?! I travel all this way just to find another place to stay and they don't have any ramen stands! Gaaaah!" Naruto was complaining out loud.

"Hey, kid, you should stop being so loud. Unless, that is, you wanna get killed!" Naruto looked up at the source of these words to find a group of men, ages around 25-30, huddled around a campfire. All had dark, torn, dirty, old cloths on that didn't seem to hold much heat. The one who must have spoken drew out a rusted, crooked knife, showing it off as though it would be able to scare away the newcomer. Not a single one expected Naruto to laugh at their pathetic efforts.

"Haha, You guy's - hahaha - think that - ahahaha - could scare me - hehe - away? HA! Baka!" The blonds fit of giggles continued even once the men charged at him with the obvious intent to kill. One was even able to radiate a small amount of KI that was actually feelable to his opponent. The only problem with that was it just so small that it made Naruto go into full blown laughter, making him fall to the ground, making some of the men sweat-drop. The others that weren't looking at Naruto like he was crazy tried attacking while he was down.

Only to be pushed back by an invisible force. "*hehe* I told you, didn't I! Dont mess with me or you die!" He said, still laughing throughout this entire threat. The men ran away, fearing for their lives with Naruto staring at their retreating backs. "So... that's it? Lame." He turned and walked away, still searching for his missing ramen.

'Where are you Naruto?' Sai asked himself though he was trying to project his thoughts. 'I may be the only one who knows how good you might actually be, but that doesn't mean I'm able to track you dang it!' Sai, flying on his ink bird, searched from the sky's. He knew about Naruto's ability to fly (like the people from Iwagakure) and decided that would be his chosen course of action.

A smaller and more chakra infused ink bird flew up to the larger one as well as it's creator. Sai pulled out a piece of paper as to allow the bird to hop on it, creating words before flying in an opposite direction. It motioned for the boy to follow and took off full speed in the direction of Kirigakure. Sai sighed. 'This is going to be a long trip.'

'Why would Naruto of all people leave? He loves this village!' The pink-haired kunoichi thought to herself as she walked to her best friend Ino's house. 'I wonder if anyone else will know… maybe-' Her train of thought was broken off as a brunette bumped into her. Kiba.

"Yo!" Sakura allowed him a small smile before a muttered 'hi'. "What's wrong? Something happen about Sasuke? Is the Duck-butt coming back?" Nearly all of Sasuke's old friends and fangirls didn't trust or like him anymore. All but Naruto. Sakura blinked in realization. 'That's right! Back when I was thinking about how people were going to react I thought about him wanting to bring back Sasuke! So Naruto's going to go after Sasuke! That has to be it! This way, he will have more freedom to search and won't have to check in with the hokage each time! And he'll come back right once he finds Sasuke! Well, that's better. Now I don't have to worry about the Baka.' A smile graced her features at the thought.

"... Umm… Hello?" 'Oh, that's right… I was talking to Kiba.'

"Hum? What is it?" Kiba looked at her as though she had four heads (ya, that's right! Four, not two! two is perfectly normal!)

"I was wondering what was wrong, then you spaced out."

"Oh yeah!" Her voice quieted as she re-remembered what happened. "Naruto… left the village. Sai went to look for him as well as some ANBU so he should be back soon. Also, he has been labeled as an S-rank missing nin until he has been found. If you want - though I suggest that you don't - you can look at his apartment. I warn you that what you see will scar you." Her tone grew dark during the last part of her speech as she was seeing the horrors of the room in her mind.

"His apartment? And why did he leave? This is Naruto that were talking about, right? He's going to be Hokage! I'm going to see what happened myself!" And with that, the dog-boy ran off, heading to the apartment. 'Everyone's going to know about this by the end of the day… ugh. Maybe I should tell Ino.' And so, with that decided, the pink-haired girl continued to her blond best-friends house.

With Kiba

Wide eyes greeted the empty, torture-chamber-looking room. "What. The. Hell. What happened to this place! I was here just yesterday!"

"Genjutsu" said a voice from the corner. It belonged to a certain silver haired(not white! he's not old!) cyclopes.

"Eh? Kakashi? What do you mean genjutsu? Naruto was never able to perform even the easiest genjutsu to save his life!" A sad smile graced the sharingan wielders face, though it remained unseen due to his mask.

"The kid was a hidden genius. No one ever actually saw his full potential, maybe save Jiraiya. But we weren't the only blind ones… read this." The jonin handed Kiba a slip of paper, AKA, his letter. This time, instead of his eyes widening or breaking down in tears, the Inuzuka screamed in rage before continuing to crumple the note in his hand.

"BAKA! HOW COULD YOU BE SO STUPID! I WILL BRING YOU BACK, RIP OUT YOUR LIMBS, FEED IT TO AKAMARU, THEN STUFF THEM BACK INTO YOU!" The rage filled eyes turned to a surprised Kakashi. "WHERE IS HE! I'LL FIND HIM FIRST!" Kakashi gave another hidden smile.

"Track him Inuzuka. It is your clans specialty." Kiba growled before rushing off to gather his team, both human and mutt. 'Hinata, Shino, you better help me. I can't do this alone.'

With Shino

'Huh, something happened to make Kiba mad. I should go to Hinata, he will go to her first.' Akamaru passed, heading to the Hyuuga compound. 'I was right. Considering how much my bugs let off, Kiba is truly angry. Better not delay any longer.' And with that, the Aburame was off, heading to see his raging friend.

And that is the end for this chapie! Just one question to those who have an opinion, do you think that almost all of Naruto's friends should leave Konoha to join him or just Sai? Thats it.
