Konoha hospital

Naruto woke up slowly, he couldn't recall anything about where he was or how he got in a bed, he pushed the white sheets from his body and was able to get into a sitting position. He was sitting in a white room with a single window that had the blinds over it so he couldn't see outside but judging from how much light was coming through he could tell it was night. He looked away from the window and toward a wooden door that was just barely open and let a yellow light creep into the room. He tried to collect his thought but all that came to his mind was battles and training, the only people he could remember were a purple haired woman and a blonde man but their names didn't come to mind.

Slowly he lifted his feet over the metal railing of the bed and jumped off, in made a noise that was faint but to Naruto it sounded like an explosion. He stood still, he wasn't sure if he was in enemy territory or not but he was taught to never take any chances no matter the situation.

Sakura was sitting in her corner office when she heard a creak come from the room that Naruto was in but decided he was probably having a bad dream; she recalled that Ino said her father couldn't sleep for a whole month after searching Narutos memories. It made her wonder what the boy saw but decided it was better not to pry; Naruto was a bit awkward around people.

Naruto started to move again, he looked over his bed and saw a black scroll with a paper crossing the opening that read "seal". He wasn't sure but it looked like it belonged to him so he took it and strapped it over his shoulder as quietly as he possibly could then he activated his hollow eyes and searched around the hospital, down the hall way was a female doctor doing some paperwork and the lower floors also had similar stations and finally a large desk guarding the front door. But outside was not guarded at all so that was the route Naruto chose to take.

He carefully opened the window just enough to let a bug pass, he was taught by the purple haired girl from his memories that you should do things slowly to let your suppressors senses get used to it. Naruto was doing exactly that, about a minute later Naruto could squeeze through and see that he was in a Ninja Village; he was always told to stay away from them but never told why. He squeezed his body through the gap and hung from the wall looking for a exit. There was a full moon that provided a lot of light which didn't work in his favor; it meant that people could spot him easier.

The ground was covered with civilians so that wasn't an option, the roof tops had ninja on them but they looked relaxed. Beyond the living grounds is a wall about 200 feet high that has masked shinobi guarding the top, they are constantly on guard but that wouldn't be a problem for Naruto as long as he flash stepped pass them.

He used a energy enhanced jump combined with a flash step to get to the closest building then he repeated the process until he came to a roof that was less than 50 feet away from the said wall. He looked and saw that a masked ninja was right in front of where his landing spot would be, he waited but the ninja didn't move. Naruto cursed and jumped a few roofs over but his leg hit a pot knocking it over causing the ninja on the roof to turn around. Naruto was hanging onto a ledge; the ninja walked over to the pot and observed how it fell from a wooden shelf mysteriously by itself. He walked over to the railing but was hit hard on the temple effectively knocking him out cold; Naruto caught the body of the ninja and laid him down close to where he was stationed.

Shit he thought, if the body was found then there is no doubt that the rest of the ninja in the village would be on alert and him not knowing his area well would be forced to make a exit. He looked up the wall again and saw that the masked ninja was currently faced away from him. He put a good amount of spiritual energy into his legs and jumped off the roof and latched onto the wall, when he reached the top he kicked the guard in the head but it disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

"Don't underestimate us" said the masked ninja before rushing at Naruto with a kunai in hand. The ANBU was less than a inch away from Naruto when he disappeared, no smoke or anything to signify that it was some type of ninjutsu. The ANBU cursed and threw a flare kunai into the air to warn the other ANBU on the wall that an intruder left the village.

Naruto was visibly exhausted, ever since he left the hospital he felt like a brick was laying on his chest restricting him from breathing and every time he used spiritual energy to seem to get worse. The forest he was currently standing in was unfamiliar to him so he just went off in any direction that suited him, but he did so fast. The ninja set off some kind of signal and would be trailing him soon, and as much as it used up precious energy, he had to flash step away. Just one good one he thought, with that he siphoned as much spiritual pressure as he could and pumped it into his knees then released it which caused the trees behind him to crack but it paid off because he was now a good 15 miles from the village and they won't be able to track him because almost all of his journey was in the air.

Naruto now felt like something was pulling him to the ground, he tried to take a step forward but as soon as he did his legs buckled under him and his body hit the ground with a thud.

The next day

Naruto woke up with his mouth full of dirt and bugs, he sat up and brushed the stuff out of his mouth and looked for a water source. Naruto was careful about using his spirit energy again but found that today it didn't have any of the side effects it did yesterday. He activated his hollow eyes and looked around, about 2.5 miles from him was a small but steady stream and another 4 miles beyond that was a small village that obviously didn't belong to any elemental village because of the lack of ninja. Without the weakening effects of using spiritual energy he got to the stream in 10 seconds. He washed his face and rinsed his mouth to get the dirt taste out, then he flash stepped to the village to look around, it was pretty clean and moderately sized for a civilian village but it held a lot of ninja passing through the area. Truth be told he was hoping that he found the two people from his memory but got no luck.

He sat at a dango shop thinking about his option, what he knew was that he woke in a ninja village and alerted a masked ninja that probably told his superiors what happened and that he could only remember two people. What he didn't know was almost everything, first he didn't know the names of the two people, second he didn't know his name, third he doesn't know how he got in a ninja village in the first place and last he couldn't remember his past. He felt the same way he felt yesterday, alone and confused.

Behind him sat two men, one had pale skin and a giant red scythe with a mouth worse than a sailors while the other one had a white wrap around his head and a black mask covering his mouth that said nothing. Naruto decided to eavesdrop.

"SHUT UP, this goes against everything my religion teaches-"

"Who gives a shit, we are ordered to get money and that's what we will do."

"FUCK YOU AND THIS BOOK," the man with the scythe threw a small black book across the room "I DON'T NEED ONE, YOU HAVING ONE IS GOOD ENOUGH."

"I never told you to get a book; you just picked it up off a dead body."

"YOU LITTLE FUCKER, DON'T TALK DOWN TO ME."

"You're lucky your immortal." With that the man with the mask left and the man with the scythe followed.

Naruto walked over to the book and picked it up, in it showed named and pictures of wanted ninja. He stopped at two in particular, the first was the purple haired woman he was looking for and the second was the blonde haired man. Both had a stamp under them that said "Captured and Executed." Naruto didn't know what to think, he was so sure that these people could help he remember who he was but now he had no idea what to do, but one thing was for sure he has no money and this book could help him. He flipped through the pages and saw the pictures of the two ninja that just left the restaurant and Narutos eyes almost popped out of his sockets. The masked one read 1,000,000 ryo and the other read 500,000.

Well, my luck just changed he thought, he continued to read through the pages and came across some other interesting people, they ranged from old samurai to demon containers that escaped their village. Just the thing to keep me busy he at the moment has absolutely no direction in life so this was the perfect thing to keep him occupied until he found anything that would hint at his past.

Well from now on this story will follow Naruto 95% of the time, he will eventually find his way back to the village but for now he will meet some new people that play a larger role in the overall story. Sorry I didn't upload yesterday, I had to meet with my superiors and tell them that I am finally done with military life. If everything goes as planned I should be home in a few weeks but I'm not sure what that will do to my upload schedule. I need to look for a job and a girlfriend of a butt buddy as soon as I get back. I'll try to keep you guys informed but I might be MIA for days on end for the next two months. Peace.
