Chapter 2: How it all Began, Part 2
Last Time
That could work. If Naruto used Kyuubi's charka to teleport himself to another world than he could forever escape the council and start over with a new life. A better one than fate had dealt him. The question was would Naruto accept willingly. Would he go and leave everything he knew behind? Would he give up his dream to live?
Now
A breath.
How it hurt.
He stretched as the seal shocked him back into his slouching position. Darkness that was all that he could see right now as it embraced him within his cell.
He heard no sound.
He smelt no scent.
He tasted nothing.
And his touch was limited within his void of darkness.
And now he was wondering how the hell he got into this to begin with.
He groaned as he remembered.
A promise.
A fool's hope.
A death wish.
A bond he shouldn't have forged.
Sakura.
He growled out as his memories of her assaulted him.
He loved her.
She never loved back.
She hit him.
She beat him.
She crushed him.
He promised her the world and she spat in his face.
She asked him the unforgivable.
And he went like her loyal dog.
He failed and she hurt him.
Not physically.
Anything physically, he come have taken.
No, she gave him the stare and the treatment.
He faded away to escape before his mind caved in. He left and his traitorous heart never stopped. His mind never ended. But his soul did weep.
He returned.
She seemed happy.
Always look underneath the underneath.
She hung out with him.
She hugged him.
She kissed him.
She went out with him.
She asked him when he was going after Sasuke again.
She started the cracking of went out of love and spite.
He failed again.
She hurt him.
She cheated on him to teach him.
She tortured him to make him understand.
Then she came to his rescue.
She claimed love and heated promises.
She started a scorching inferno.
She made him.
She teased.
She tempted.
She whispered.
She possessed him.
He was losing his mind with her.
But she was just like Sakura.
A snake hidden within the grass he dared lay upon.
She broke him when she betrayed him.
She broke him when she lied.
She broke him when she killed their child.
She broke him when she loved him through her lies.
She broke him with her smile.
She broke him with her words.
She broke him with her broken bond.
He wanted to scream.
He shook ruthlessly.
He had to forget her.
Her face.
Her name.
Her smell.
Her taste.
Her touch.
Her voice.
Her soul.
Her love.
Her very being.
He should hate her.
But he couldn't it would make him no better.
He had a dream he had to live.
He was one of the best within the village.
He would be free.
He would live on.
He would prove them all wrong.
He would...
Stop making useless promises.
Like bring the teme back.
Grudgeless on both parts but they were brothers no matter what the said or did.
He had nothing to worry about.
All was fine.
They would set him free soon.
He grunted as he twisted.
He needed to stop spurting and believing bullshit.

Tsunade signed another document as Shizune stacked more paperwork on her desk. She hadn't told Naruto yet. She couldn't not if her assumption were right. Her eyes drifted to the two Anbu guards before the door as she picked up another piece of paper. The one on the left wore a hawk mask as his right-hand twitch ever now and then. And the guard on the right had a falcon mask and was fingering his katana with his left hand. Nope, these weren't her Anbu. First off, the two never work together because they were brothers so work hardly got done with the two together. Second, Hawk left hand always twitched not his right. While Falcon was more gear to use his katana with his right hand not left.
So, the council was watching her.
She figured the bastards be nervous and antsy.
She wasn't foolish enough to go herself or send Shizune.
She wouldn't play into their hands nor would she act stupidly. They were guarding her to keep her for her sochi. And mostly had a plan to go behind her back. Well she had a plan to. They did know how far her resources were now or what she was willing to do for Naruto.
She would let them think they had the upper hand and bid her time. Because the council didn't know what she planned and how much they screwed themselves over.
She sighed as she signed another document as Shizune's eyes flickered and Tsunade nodded.

Admiration.
Loyalty.
Praise.
Love.
Worship.
Faith.
Kami, it made him sick.
He destroyed they're love ones and they beg for his seed.
He destroyed their homes and the offered him anything within a whimper.
He could have rape, ravish, annihilated and betray them and they would welcome him with open arms.
It made him want to puke.
Konoha was still seriously fucked up.
Another woman batted her eyelashes at him as he ignored as a squeal followed.
Rabid soul sucking bitches that didn't give a damn about him just his name, status, money and appearance. They could all burn in hell. He was tempted flick them all off but they just might take it as an invitation.
Damnit, where was the dope apartment complex.
He stopped as he saw a monstrous of pink approach him. Her eyes lit up when she saw him as she latched onto his arm.
"Sasuke-kun!" she yelled out.
"Sakura, I have a question?"
Her eyes lit up more as she waited.
"Where Naruto's home?"
Her face fell as it was quickly replaced by scowled as she answered, "Why do you want to know where the demon's home is?"
Unfortunately, the next thing second Sakura was pinned by her neck as Sasuke growled out, "What the fuck you say?"
Sakura not being the brightest star repeated, "Why do you want to know where the demon's home is?"
Sasuke grip tighten as Mangekyo Sharingan blazed in his eyes as Sakura slumped against the wall.
"Was that necessary?" a voice tartly asked.
Sasuke whipped around to see Ino.
Kami, must hate him.
"Hn."
Ino rolled her eyes at that and mumbled, "Answer me Uchiha."
Sasuke raised an eyebrow at that. Didn't she use to be as bad as Sakura?
"She was annoying." he stated.
"What else is new?" Ino stated as she looked away from him.
"Do you know where Naruto lives?" he asked randomly. Hell, somebody had to know.
"Yea. Two blocks from here. After that make, a right down the alley and it led straight to his apartment. He lives on the third floor and the room is 210." she replied.
"Hn. Thanks." he said as he stared to fidget. She was going to use this against him. How he didn't know nor when. But he would regret asking for her help.
"Whatev." she retorted as she took one look at Sakura before walking away.
'Hm, Ino changed greatly.' he mused as his eyes followed her heart shaped ass.
'Look in to it and find out how much.' he mentally took note as his eyes skimmed the rest of her curves.
He shook his head as he followed her instruction and walked up the street to the third floor to 210.
He growled at what his eyes met.
The door had been knocked off the hinges. The room was badly burned and the furniture broken. The walls were covered in graffiti. And the smell of urine choked him.
He didn't want to go in but he had to for the dope.
He searched the floorboard as he said and found the bag.
It was heavy, Sasuke noted as he took a quick peak inside.
He nearly gasped at all the weapons, explosive tags, and jutsu scrolls.
The dope was prepared for war.
He shuffled through it some more and smiled at the team and client photos.
Maybe not war just what he valued.
Sasuke wondered if the dope planned to take off.
After all the hell, his brother had been put through he couldn't blame him if he did.
And if Naruto left then so would he.
Maybe after a little quality time with Ino.
He quickly wiped the blood from his nose.
He guessed he could get the dope some more scroll and a few Uchiha ones. A thought hit him as he smirked the Uchiha clan wasn't the only one willing to give up a few scrolls.

He was in position as were they others.
They were to follow the council arrangement before the bang.
They were to have their justice for most likely the death of Falcon, Hawk and the others lost and replaced by Root.
They were they will of the true Konoha.
They were the will of the Hokage.
They were loyal to their comrades.
And Naruto would not die today.
From he was a leaf with their branch.
Betrayer wouldn't be tolerance.
The council had overstepped its finally rule.
All would be anew in the flame.
All would be corrected.
All would be changed.
All would be for the best.
All would stand for the occasion.
All would serve.
"To Naruto and the will of fire." was erred through their mouths from there locations.

Naruto stretched as he rose from his cell and got dress and remember the events of his previous week and his sentence.
For as long as he remembered he was hollow. Every action, every smile, every yell and sound was fake. If he faked it, everyone was happy. They were only happy when he played the fool but he was tired. So tired. They glared and tortured him with the walls of the hell he called home for as long as he could have remembered. No matter how much he gave they still hated him. No one really knew him. His life was of misery and pain.
He smirked he was starting to sound like the teme.
Yet he was used to it. People coming and going while stringing him along just to cut him off. But he walked the road with his head held high as they tried to cut him down. His will was undeniable. He smirked still even when one of the Anbu guard removed his sealed blindfold. He was still bound however. He smiled as they spat at him, as they throw things at him, as they shouted at him, as the glare and his heart bleed as some cried for him.
He sighed as he stood in the empty room staring at the empty semi-circle of chairs on a platform. He was to wait for his trial which was two hours early. Wait for their judgment now, yet he knew the council would condemn him like they had since his birth. He was too strong now; no amount of loyalty could stop their plot against him. He was a walking threat that they would eradicate and never look back on. He waited as they filed in the respected places. He waited as they doomed him to execution.
"Uzumaki Naruto, you stand before the council on the charge of the attempted murder of Uchiha Sasuke. How do you plead?"
"First, it Namikaze Uzumaki Naruto and not guilt."
"You have no right to that name!"
"Death!"
He only smirked as he felt a familiar charka source speed as a flask of flames appeared beside him as Sasuke cut through his binding. As a jyuuken strike knocked out the guard to his right. Sasuke throw Naruto his bag as he sent a fire ball towards a shocked council as Neji grabbed hold on his shoulder as the shunshin away.
He stood before the gates as Tsunade stood beside Shizune as they waited along with team ten, some civilians, team Gai, Suna, team eight minus Hinata, team seven, minus Sakura, Konohamaru's squad, and a few more for the academy and Anbu.
"So, what going on?" he asked as Tsunade gave him a sad smile.
She explained with the others as he stood in the mist, his opinion didn't matter. He knew they want only the best. He accepted his fate like he always had. Tsunade wept as she handed him flesh clothing and everyone got in their goodbyes.
He wore a long crimson coat with a black hood and on the back of his coat was black flames of a nine-tailed fox. He wore under the coat, a white form fitting shirt with a emerald jewel around his neck. With red cargo pants and black combat boots. He had the hood of his coat up and a white and red fox mask upon his face. Over his shoulder he had his bag full of scrolls and weapons.
He was walking amid a forest as he waved goodbye and began the instructed hand seals before lightning cracked around him. He looked back one last time at all his friends and surrogate family. He felt his heart slowly break at the thought of never seeing them again as complete loneliness choked all his heart into the darkness of despair. They didn't know. They never know. He would leave behind not just Konoha. He couldn't live without them. He hoped they forgive him. As he finished the hand seals as he was engulfed in light. He began another set of hand seals. One he promised to forget. One he promised never to try again. One that ever Kyuubi's charka couldn't heal. He smiled blissfully as charka flooded his system and pain followed ruthless as he screamed and he enter the new world as Konoha begin to fade. Red charka erupted from his body and hurled at him as blue hurled around. Silence was heard from either side and then a mighty explosion.
Forgive me.
