Heres my attempt at Perfect lionhearts Missing Hokage challenge, I hope to write much about this, but that will decided by the amount of reviews I get. Even flames are welcome. Though I would like you all to remember this is a Fan fiction so I can have the story pretty much however I want, it WILL NOT be exactly like the show/magna. Enjoy!
\^o^/
The Path to greatness is littered with obstacles, trials made to test us. Do we have what it takes to overcome them, to prove our worth? To fight for our dreams when we only have nightmares, to protect who we love when they only give hate, to smile and laugh when we just want to die. Perhaps, but that can only be answered by the one taking the test.
Us.
The heavens poured relentlessly as two boys lay unconscious at the foot of a valley. Kakashi sighed to himself as he jumped down to them from the tree line, closely followed by his ever loyal and favorite summon Pakkun. They stood over the two boys for a moment before Kakashi picked up Sasuke and turned to leave.
"Hey" said Pakkun in his gruff voice, "what about Naruto here?" Kakashi never even looked back at him as he jumped out of the valley and out of sight. Pakkun growled angrily, like every dog, Pakkun had a strong sense of friendship and loyalty, what Kakashi just did was an obvious disregard to them both. Pakkun let out a growl, that's it, his favoritism for that Uchiha boy and his ignorance of the other two students were bad enough before hand, THIS is plain bullshit, and he didn't even make a clone. Pakkun touched a hidden seal on his shoulder and the largest dog in his squad and a dog with a summoning contract appeared.
"Hey, Spike, grab Naruto here and take him back to Konoha, I'll follow you shortly" Pakkun ordered. the named dog nodded and, after picking up Naruto, jumped away.
"What are your orders for me?" asked the dog with the scroll
"tell the boss that Kakashi is to be removed from the contract" said Pakkun. The other dog raised an eyebrow at the disdain for Kakashi, as Pakkun was his favorite dog.
"What Happened?"
"He left Naruto here to die while he took the defecting Uchiha boy that had been knocked unconscious back to Konoha" growled Pakkun, the other dogs eyes darkened, he nodded before disappearing.
Pakkun left and quickly caught up to Spike and Naruto. He explained what happened and after getting the same reaction they maxed there speed to get Naruto to safety.
20 minutes later at Konoha
"I order you to let us GO!" yelled a soaked Tsunade as she threw yet another ANBU away with her super strength, Shizune also struggled next to her to be free of there captors. Kakashi had returned less than two minutes earlier, as soon as they had been alerted they had run towards the gates in disbelief of Kakashi's statement
FLASHBACK
"Kakashi!" yelled Tsunade as the other doctors ran to treat Sasuke, "where's Naruto?"
"He's dead, so I left him at the valley of the end" said Kakashi in a monotone voice. Tsunade and Shizune froze for half a second, not knowing whether to be burst into tears or kill Kakashi and Sasuke. They instead almost smashed through the hospital's automatic door as they ran towards the front gates.
FLASHBACK END
They finally broke free of the ANBU at the front gates when two figures jumped out off the darkness and landed in front of Tsunade and Shizune. They screamed out when they saw Naruto and immediately began treatment. Pakkun ran to the nearest ANBU and growled to get his attention.
"go get some medics to help out here, then bring Kakashi to me" he said quickly, the ANBU nodded and Shushined away,10 seconds later he returned with a team of medics and Kakashi. The medics hesitated when they saw the injured person was Naruto, but went to help because otherwise the Tsunade would have there heads, and there balls. Kakashi looked down at Pakkun and the other dog Spike, he crouched down to talk to them but they had other ideas, ideas like mauling him. He managed to replace himself with a branch and panted as he bled from many scratches and bites.
"What the hell was that for?" yelled Kakashi as he dodged a second attempt by the dogs.
"those who don't follow orders are trash, those who abandon their comrades are worse than trash" growled Pakkun angrily "you are worse than trash, come on Spike we are leaving, and by the way ass hole, your off the summoning contract" he then disappeared in a puff of smoke, as did Spike. Kakashi was wide eyed, he tried to summon someone but nothing happened, he swore to himself and shushined away to check on Sasuke.
Three days later
Tsunade sat at the head of the council as they finished the normal administrative jobs.
"okay" said Danzo, "two more things, first, we of the civilian council wish for you to temporarily dismiss Naruto Uzumaki as a Ninja" Tsunade twitched before she blasted them with KI, scaring the crap out of all but Danzo and a few clan heads, some of which were also releasing KI.
"Why the hell would I do that" she growled, Danzo smiled back at her.
"Simple, with him temporarily out of action he has no source of income" he answered, all smiles and friendly. "if he were to become a civilian than he'd qualify for the orphans allowance, that way he'd have the money to pay for rent and other necessities until he's able to support himself" Tsunade looked down at the man before her, hmm, I KNOW he's up to something, he's never liked Naruto in the slightest, infact, he wanted to make Naruto a weapon, if Sarutobi's files are correct. He's probably doing it to get on my good side, though he does have a good point. Tsunade sighed to herself.
"alright, but I will personally test and reinstate him when I think he's ready" said Tsunade, Danzo handed her a form and she signed/stamped it before handing it back "Naruto Uzumaki is now a Civilian, effective immediately" Danzo nodded before he produced another piece of paper and signed/stamped it himself before announcing loudly.
"Last thing today. We of the Civilian council have ordered the execution of a Civilian" gasps were heard from around the room.
"Who and for what?" asked Tsunade curiously, she flicked through her mind for any incident recently when a glaringly obvious one hit her even as he was saying it.
"For causing the defection of and seriously injuring a Konoha Shinobi, and the last loyal Uchiha, we have voted and will execute on the 10th, Civilian Naruto Uzim*gack*" Danzo never finished as he was slammed into a wall with Tsunade's hand around his neck. The ANBU in the room tensed but weren't dumb enough to interfere.
"Give me one reason NOT to snap your neck" she said dangerously, Danzo gulped and said the only thing that could get him out alive.
"Because even if you do the order will still go through, but I believe that I can over rule the civilian council without causing problems, how about we exile him" Tsunade sighed and knew he was right, she dropped him and nodded. She couldn't really do anything at the moment but she'd think of something.
"very well, but let him stay for 3 days after he is fully recovered so he can get what he needs and say farewells, go do that and I'll break the news to him" she said sadly, Danzo bowed and left, barely suppressing his anger at having his plans stopped, he'd soon fix that though. Back in the council room there was a stunned silence before it broke into an uproar, the Nara, Inoichi, Chouza, Inuzuka, Aburame and even the Hyuuga clan heads outraged at the council's underhanded tactics to get rid of Naruto, someone who had helped, befriended or had something in common with each clan.
"I understand your concern more than anyone" Tsunade sighed, "but unfortunately there isn't too much I can do right off the bat, Naruto will live, but this will probably tear him to pieces. I'll let him know that you protested this so he knows that he has friends he can talk to" the clan heads nodded and Tsunade Shushined away to see Naruto.
