Now on to the story.
Four things told Naruto that today wasn't going to be a good day. The first was that he was bound and gagged in the center of his room. The second was that he could smell large amounts of oil in the room. Third was that he could hear a large crowed outside the building calling for his death. The fourth and final was one shout in particular,
"Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu"
'Oh fuck me.' he thought with tears falling as he saw the large fireball incoming.
'Sorry, I don't swing that way Kit. Maybe you can go see Orochimaru after this.' Kyu replied sarcastically while laughing his ass off.
'Oh screw you too Kyu.' he thought as the fireball was only three feet from the window. He felt something hit the back of his neck before everything went black.
"Your safe Naruto-san."
As Naruto fell forward a man dressed as an Anbu wearing a dog mask grabbed a hold him before he Shunshined away as the fireball entered the room.
~Outside the orphanage~
The crowed standing outside the building was glad, yet most were disappointed. They wanted to hear the 'demon boy' yell out for help, to hear his cries of pain and agony. But all they could hear was the roar of the fire.
After about ten minutes an Anbu squad arrived to extinguish the flames.
"What was that for Anbu-san?" asked one of the civilians.
"We're making sure no one was injured or killed in the flames." said the female Anbu in a cat mask, known to the public as Neko.
"Ha. The only one that died in that flame was the Demon brat. Everyone else was evacuated before the fire started." stated a rather obnoxious female.
"Yeah, we were just finishing the fourth's work." said another smug female civilian.
"That means you deliberately left the boy to die." Neko stated, unknown to the civilians her right eye was twitching.
"And why should we have saved that damned Kyuubi brat any way." Shouted one of the male civilians, only to drop seconds later by a kunai sticking out his throat. With a flick of her wrist two Anbu grabbed the three other civilians and vanishing, taking them to the T&I department.
"Kyaaa." screamed one of the females there.
"What is the meaning of this." Shouted/Screeched a pink haired woman in her mid twenties, who held the title of most annoying voice for a civilian, Sasaki Haruno. (A/N what the ninja have secret titles for those they dislike.)
"Councilor Haruno, you will be informed by the Hokage after our investigation." stated Neko.
"I don't care about your investigation. I want to know why one of our own civilians is laying in a pool of his own blood. I saw no reason for this action." Sasaki screeched almost loud enough to shatter glass.
"He broke the Thirds law. As such he was punished as determined by the Third." Neko said in a strained neutral voice as she resisted grabbing another Kunai to silence the screeching banshee. 'Just a flick of my wrist and Konoha will be quieter.' As tempting as it sounded she knew their would be hell to pay.
As Sasaki was about to speak, one of the male Anbu, wearing a dove mask, appeared between her and Neko.
"Hato, Report."
"We've found evidence of some sort oil covering the room, also a high powered Katon jutsu was used to start the fire." said Hato
"Any sign of a body inside the room?" Neko asked hoping their wasn't.
'Of course their was, I bound the Kyuubi brat my self.' Sasaki thought as she listened to Hato.
"There was no sign of a body inside the room. Also the flames were not hot enough to turn a body to ash either." Hato stated much to Sasaki's ire.
'The Kyuubi brat survived! Those good for nothing imbeciles couldn't even kill a brat!' Sasaki was mentally seething .
"Then that leaves one question." Neko spoke as she looked towards the Hokage monument, "Where is Naruto Uzumaki?"
~Council chamber~
'Oh Kami my head.' Naruto thought as he regained consciousness. Sitting up with his eyes still closed, "Oh man, who the hell spiked the drinks. " he groaned while holding his head, "I bet it was Kiba, that asshole. He knows not to start a prank war of revenge with me." he started to chuckle, "Extra chunky peanut butter for toothpaste will do just fine." he started to laugh like a well known pedophile, "Bad Naruto, your not a gay pedophile like Orochimaru." he started to rant before.
"Ahem." the sound came from his left. Naruto's eyes snapped open as he looked towards the sound.
What Naruto saw was not what he wanted to, he was sitting in front of the whole ninja council, and the Hokage. As he looked at the council, he remembered where he was, or more importantly, what point of the timeline he was at. "I guess you want an explanation. Huh?"
"What would make you think that Pup?" said the most feral looking and only female in the room, Tsume Inuzuka, head of the Inuzuka. With a vein throbbing over her twitching left eye.
"Well first there's the fact that I called your son by his name and insulted him, even though we have never met. Second the fact that I planned to prank him with peanut butter. And last but not least lets not forget that I was nearly killed by a Katon jutsu, while I was bound and gagged in an orphanage of all places." he said counting what he said on his fingers before stating the third in a sarcastic manner.
To say the council was calm would be like saying the Akimichi clan only ate fat free food. Before they could get anymore out of Naruto, a female Anbu appeared between the boy and the Hokage, "What's the situation Neko-san?" Sarutobi asked.
"The orphanage, to be more precise the room of one Naruto Uzumaki, was set aflame by an unknown ninja. I have two more units currently looking for the boy as we speak." she said with her head bowed.
"Thank you for your report Neko-san. But you need not worry about the young Uzumaki. He is safe and uninjured. You can call off the search." Sarutobi said as he pointed behind her.
Turning around she say the boy standing not four feet from her. She smiled under her mask before turning back to Hiruzen, "As you wish Hokage-sama." she bowed before vanishing in a swirl of leafs.
Looking back at the council and Naruto, Hiruzen sighed inwardly, "Now for the reason I called the ninja council, and Naruto. As it pertains to the latter." Looking at said boy, "Would you explain to us what happened to you last night? My Anbu was unclear on what happened."
Naruto looked into the old mans eyes before sighing, "Alright, but I'm not giving away all my secrets." he said with a glare that held no compromise. "First's things first old man. I know my secrets and the reasons for them." he said before raising a hand in silence, "I know of the Kyuubi and I gotta say, he's more understanding then most of this village." he said while glairing at the door. "we don't have much time left, I talked with Kyu last night and he said 'remove the seals, but keep the seal.'." he said looking at the Hyuuga and Uchiha, "From what he told me there are Twenty-Five seals on me not including his." he looked back a the door then at the Hokage, "I want to speak with you alone later."
As soon as he finished that last word the doors to the council room flew open to reveal the entire civilian council and the elder council. As the civilians and the elders walked into the room they all noticed Naruto standing in the center of the room. Their reactions varied. Their was anger, disgust, pure loathing, and fear.
As soon as all of the remaining council were seated all hell broke loose, on the civilian side at least, courtesy of one pink haired banshee. This carried on for at least twenty minutes. After twenty long minutes of calling for Naruto's death, banishment, or imprisonment, Hiruzen had heard enough bickering and screeching.
"SILENCE!" He yelled adding in his killing intent. "Now what is the meaning of the civilian council barging in here while were having a discussion about our ninja forces?"
"That…Boy burned down the orphanage he was housed in not three hours ago. Nearly injuring the rest of the children and staff." Sasaki slightly screeched.
"How could he have set a fire when he was here with us at the time of the fire?" said the scarred ninja.
"Shikaku-san is right, He was here with us as we discussed the academy's effect on our younger generations survival rates, mainly those of civilian birth." said another male with a high collar and sunglasses.
"And what would he know about the academy and survival rates?" said a more portly civilian member.
"I know more about survival then most genin, and I owe it all to most of the civilians." He said the last part as sarcastic as possible. "Oh and you cant forget the annual fox hunt." he spat that out as venomous as he could while looking at the civilians and elders.
"Hold you tongue you ungrateful brat. It has been us, the civilian, who have been taking care of you since your whore of a mother and bastard of a father died." Sasaki spat out back at him, glaring with untold fury.
The air in the chamber dropped at least thirty degrees after she spoke, the killing intent lacing the air was strong enough to make the clan heads fear moving out of pure fear. As Naruto turned to Sasaki the remaining civilians felt pinned to their seats, "You are an ungrateful whore that doesn't even deserve to live in even the deepest pits of hell. My parents died to protect this village from the Kyuubi, which I'm now the jailer of. If I wished it, this village would be leveled with only a large clearing to show where it once stood. A kunai is a kunai, and a scroll is a scroll. If you sealed the kunai into the scroll, it remains a scroll. Not a kunai. You should learn the difference between the jailor and the jailed before pissing off one of the most powerful binges in the world." taking a deep breath he turned towards Hiruzen. The air warmed back to it's previous temperature. All the while his eyes remained pure blue without the slightest hint of the Kyuubi's influence.
Sighing Hiruzen spoke up, "This meeting is dismissed, I want all the clan heads and Naruto in my office." as he stood up he saw Tsume covering her nose and leave the chamber as fast as she could. As he was almost to the door a foul odor hit his nose. He looked towards the civilian side and saw all of them still sitting there. If it wasn't for their chests rising and falling, he would have thought them dead, 'maybe I should give Naruto the mantle of Kage.' as he left the room he turned to one of the guarding Chunin, "I need two teams for a C-ranked mission. It is to be paid out of the Haruno account."
"What does the mission detail sir?" asked the Chunin.
"Cleaning the civilian council chairs."
"But sir that hardly counts as a C-rank." said another Chunin.
'You'll understand once they enter the room." he chuckled to himself as he walked to his office he thought of the meeting, 'At least it ended quietly for once.' as he reached the door he realized a few things. One he had to change the academy some how. Two he had to talk privately with Naruto. And last but not least it was only around noon and the paperwork would just keep piling up, 'Damn you paperwork, You're the only enemy a Kage cannot defeat alone.' placing his hand on the handle he turned the knob and opened the door, walking into the well lit room.
