Naruto's secret reviled!

Tsunade stood atop the Hokage tower, peering down upon a crowd of villagers that had accumulated after hearing the Hokage's wishes to have a village wide audience to announce some affairs about something important towards the village. The crowd had reached its fullest numbers, every ninja clan, merchant clan and even just regular civilians had made their way outside the Hokage tower to listen to the fifth Hokage.

"SILENCE!," Tsunade roared at the crowd that suddenly fell deathly silent. "I have called you all here today because it's about time that you all understood about the 'demon' you so call him." Tsunade announced as she looked around at the looks of protest and disgust upon hearing his nick name.

"Many of you here today… in fact almost everyone here today has misjudged and mistreated Naruto Uzumaki" Tsunade said as she looked around at the booing protesters that seemed to be getting all riled up.

All of the Konoha twelve all had looks of confusion and curiosity.

"M-Misjudge? M-Mistreat? What's lady Tsunade t-talking about Kurenai-sensei" Hinata said as she worried over her love of her life.

"Just wait and see Hinata. This is going to shock most of you and maybe even hate your village slightly after." Kurenai said a little saddened, she knew the majority here would be very angry with the village, but she knew a few here would learn to hate them.

Hinata nodded to her teacher and looked back up towards the Hokage tower; she wanted to know everything Tsunade knew about Naruto, because if Tsunade had any information on Naruto then she would eat the information up like it was her last meal.

"Many of you here know of the Kyuubi no Kitsune do you not?" she waited to see them all nod; many of the civilians and merchant clan members had a look of anger and hate when they did so. Hinata didn't like where this was going.

"Well most of the younger generation doesn't know the secret about Kyuubi's demise. I will reveal to you all the secret and after I am finished the majority will hate themselves or hate the people who did the worse things to him." Tsunade said as she tried to keep back her anger and doing a terrible job at it.

There was looks of great anger and hate coming from the crowd and shouts of "the demon disserved it!" and "who cares the demon is gone!". Hinata for her part had to be restrained from killing the crowd in a killing frenzy.

"Thirteen years ago the fourth Hokage battled with the nine tailed fox demon. The story says that the demon was killed by our greatest hero. One of the two that we owe our lives to this very day. But the fourth didn't kill the demon. No he sealed it within a baby boy." Tsunade started to lecture, she looked towards the younger generations and saw their looks of horror and surprise, and she knew that they knew where this was going.

"That baby boy is the second person we owe our lives to today, you all saw him as the Kyuubi himself when he was actually the prison that kept him from killing you all. He was beaten, burned, slashed, pummeled, spat on, hated, and neglected for thirteen years. By every single one of you dip shits! You all thought he was going to kill you. If he was the Kyuubi don't you think he would have done it already? Are you all that stupid? I remember when I returned to the village one day to meet up with my old sensei the third Hokage and chat to him about a few things, I remember a small five year old boy huddled up in a corner scared to death because he was getting stabbed by about six drunken men with broken beer bottles. If this is how the greatest village in the world treats a five year old boy then I am ashamed to call myself Hokage of this village! And once more no matter how much you called him, no matter how many cuts, bruises or burns he received from you terrible people he still loves this village and its villagers, he still wants to die to protect you. He hasn't left the village he's gone on a severe training trip where he won't return for another two to three years." Tsunade shouted out at the crowd with rage, her body shaking slightly with the immense anger.

Hinata was crying her eyes out. She never knew Naruto had it so ruff. She knew his life must have been hard with no parents and for some reason the entire village hated you. But now she knew he was hated for something beyond his power and that made her seethe, she wanted to kill every person in the crowd. But she was weak with the amount of emotional power keeping her to her knees in sorrow.

The rest of the Konoha twelve already understood the implications; they knew that Naruto must have been that boy Tsunade was talking about. Sakura was on the floor also, she already knew about all this but it didn't stop her from tearing up at the thought and being retold of his suffering. Sasuke looked like he was about to explode with rage, he was shaking and his hands and face were red with anger. All the girls were crying, some more so than others, all the boys had either looks of anger for the way he was treated or sadness for all he had to live through in his life.

"Why!!... Why did they all hurt him!! Why did they treat him that way!! Didn't they realize he wouldn't hurt them when he did nothing to strike back!" an angry Sasuke yelled up towards Tsunade.

The crowd of people looked towards the enraged Sasuke and couldn't help but feel guilty and ashamed for their actions on an innocent child.

"That's the point I'm trying to make Sasuke. I can't enforce people to like him, this crowd announcement has been needed for the last 13 years! These 'human beings' if they can so call themselves that after what they did, deserve to know what they have done and know that they are all going to hell with Yami if they don't atone for their sins!" a very angry Tsunade yelled out, the first half was directed towards Sasuke and the rest was directed at the crowd.

The crowd grew almost deathly silent, all that could be heard were the many sobs of clan members, ninja, civilians and most of all the Konoha twelve. Although it was told that ninja's may not show emotion for it brings bad things to happen, they couldn't help but let their sorrow take over, some of the boys who had tried to look strong could also no longer take it as they allowed tears to flow. Some of the Jonin instructors also tears in their eyes. But they cried because they knew the full story. Or at least most of it.

"I hope I gave you monsters an insight of what you did to the boy, imagine… if your own son or daughter was in Naruto's shoes. Imagine your son or daughter getting a demon sealed inside of him or her, imagine your son or daughter with no family and no friends because all the other mothers and fathers wouldn't allow their sons or daughters to play with your son or daughter… imagine your son or daughter getting stabbed on his birthday and his house being burnt down, I'm not joking that actually happened to Naruto on his sixth birthday. Do you that Naruto actual leave's the village on his birthday because it brings back so many bad memories?" Tsunade said the first half in a sickly sweat voice and the last half in a serious emotionless voice, besides her lacking to show emotions she allowed a single tear to roll down her cheek.

The crowd was a gulfed with the sounds of sobbing people. The entire village was filled with the sound and I'm sure that people a mile away could hear it. Tsunade looked out at the crowd and decided the deed had been done and that the people were truly sorry for what had happened.

Hinata had passed out from sorrow, her face red with anger, her eyes puffy and red also. Sakura and Kurenai had to take her back to Kurenai's house to rest.

Sasuke had ran off to one of the training grounds to relieve some anger onto the training poles, you could feel the killing intent all throughout the village.

Kiba, Shino, Choji and Shikamaru went back to the Nara family compound to be away from the villagers until their own hate and anger calmed down. It would take a while to forgive the village for what they did to their friend.

Tenten, Ino and rock lee walked back to the academy to sit on the swing there friend used to sit on when he felt depressed.

At the academy – with Ino, Tenten and lee

The three friends were outside the academy. Ino sat on the swing while lee and Tenten sat on the grass. All three friends seemed very depressed and in a less than talkative mood.

"We are all monsters…" Ino whispered quietly as she sat sadly on the swing.

"We WERE monsters… after the academy days we saw Naruto as much more than just 'dead last' or that kid that always failed… he proved us all wrong and became a strong rookie that was aiming for great things." Tenten said softly, she believed in what she said but she still couldn't forgive herself for the things she said to Naruto, the things she did to him and the things she refused to help him with.

"The fires of youth burn weakly on a day like today" Rock lee said surprisingly quite and soft, not using his usual loud, happy and hyperactive tone of voice.

The girls would usually giggle from his antics but today was too sad a day to even smile.

"The things we said to him… the things we did to him… there unforgivable!" Ino shouted as tears welled up in her eyes.

"Yes they were bad… but we can make it up to him, remember that was the old 'us'. We treated him nicely and as equals when we all turned Genin… Naruto will forgive us… and if he doesn't then we will make it up to him somehow." Tenten said as she quietly comforted her friend. Rock lee was downcast as he recalled all the times people had done bad things to him.

"I can remember when I was a little match stick of the flames of youth… I was trying to use a basic Jutsu that would pass me as a ninja… the only problem was my chakra control is null… it was impossible for me to focus chakra into hand signs and release the chakra into the Jutsu… I decided to give up when I came across a small blond boy in the woods. He was doing press ups, sit ups, jogging and even training his fighting styles with the trees. He was the first thing that inspired me to train physically; I had not even met or heard of Gai sensei by that time. I trained very hard physically and before I decided to quit again Gai sensei picked up the broken pieces and helped me. You see I would of never of given up but I had no teacher to teach me because they said I was useless and that I would make a bad Shinobi." Rock lee said sadly, he looked back to see them both calm down and pay attention to him.

"So Gai wasn't your first inspiration then?" Tenten asked amazed that lee's first inspiration to go into physical ninja training was Naruto.

Ino was evenly as amazed. "So Naruto effected your life to make you realize that giving up isn't an option for Shinobi… I always wondered why you two were so alike." Ino said smiling at him, she knew that lee in some respect had actually copied Naruto's lifestyle and traits and combined it with his own and his sensei Gai's.

Lee nodded and smiled sadly at the two. "that is correct, Naruto may have been seen as the 'weakest link' out of the Konoha 12 and the rookie 9 but I always saw his true strength." Lee said as he smiled.

The two girls nodded sadly. They had mistreated Naruto in the past as well. It was seen as the norm, everyone had at least done one thing to Naruto that was unkind… everyone that is except Hinata. Some people knew why she hadn't done anything; others just thought she was just being nice. It was actually a mixture of the two.

Konoha ANBU ROOT – Sai

Two men sat on two opposite sides of the round table. One was Sai and another was a crippled mysterious man, his entire right side was broken and unresponsive except for his arm and hand. His left side was still pretty bad but it wasn't so severe he couldn't walk. Half of his face was masked up with bandages; all that could be made out was some of his hair, his nose, his left eye, his mouth and two cross slashes under his mouth where his chin is. The two men were surrounded by about ten ANBU ROOT body guards.

"So… Sai… now that the demon child is no longer in Konoha it seems that we can start the mission objectives… you know what to do…" the mysterious man said as he looked on expressionless at Sai.

"Yes Danzo-Sama… but this Naruto… I hear that he may already be as strong as one of the legendary Sanin. Are you sure that we can take him out?" Sai asked nervously, he didn't show it in his voice or body language but in his mind he was nervous.

"Those are just rumors that the fifth Hokage is spreading around so that the village will respect him… I am almost positive that when the demon child returns he will be about Chunin, high Chunin level at best. You don't have to worry about anything." Danzo stated smugly.

At this point a ROOT member appeared in swirl of leaves and knelt on one knee bowing towards his master.

"Danzo-Sama, it appears that we cannot find any traces of Naruto's scent anywhere… it's as if he vanished." The ROOT ANBU member said in an emotionless voice.

"WHAT! How can he of disappeared? To be able to get rid of your scents completely is impossible and to hide it for this amount of time is beyond Kage level… keep searching and then report back with any information." Danzo said showing anger for the first time in many years.

"Yes Danzo-Sama." The ROOT ANBU said as he disappeared in a swirl of leaves.

Sai was taken aback by the sudden expression of emotion. It was deemed a rare sight for Danzo to express his feelings in any manner.

"you see master… I told you there was something about him… I may never of met him but I feel a strange feeling that he is more that he is cracked up to be. Your plan may back fire on you if you go through with it. If they catch you doing it…" Sai started but was interrupted by Danzo, his voice sounded slightly irritated.

"They won't catch me… they won't even suspect me… well maybe Tsunade will but you forget that I have the majority of the counsel on my side for this one." Danzo said as his ace turned from an irritated one to a smug one.

"Lady Tsunade is the Hokage and if she deems fit then she could out maneuver us and remove our chairmen and our half of the counsel… I mean it is her counsel and her village." Sai said rather worriedly.

"Don't worry about Tsunade… I have a very special clan help us out with this one… the Kedoui clan… they should be more than willing to allow us there services… I have already given them their payment and they should be ready whenever we are ready… we will start when the child returns… and the full plan will commence when I deem the time right… as for now we just need to sit and wait…"

Sorry for the long wait, and sorry for the slightly smaller chapter than usual. I do have my reasons and they are as follows. Busy with g.c.s.e's, finding a job, fixing my stupid computer and finally getting some removable hardrives so I still have my memory if my computer blows up again…

Also today made me very sad :( this kitten had been ran over on the middle of the road; don't worry the cat's fine, it just suffered from shock, loss of claws and a small fracture in the bone line. (Now remember I'm 16) my step dads driving along the road and we see this kitten lying down on its stomach in the middle of the road meowing. And these sick bastards are just driving round it. So I tell my step dad to stop and I ran out over this busy road picked it up and got back in. the cat was literally shaking with fear. So we took it to this vet clinic place. This cat had a collar but no address, name or nothing. So we were told to leave it there while r.s.p.c.a take care of its medication and wait to see if its owners call into their local vet to see if he's there. If not then it's going to be available for other owners to look after it. I just felt like sharing my rant with my readers, note I am not an animal freak but I'll be damned if I will allow some kitten not much older than 5-6 months be run over again or left to die in the middle f a busy street…
