Don't own Naruto only OCs.
"Fight? We have injured as it is. Fleeing is the best option. I am not risking anymore lives, Danok." Tsunade said. Danok turned to face her.
"They will never reach these ships. The bones with a slash mark flag is a mark that says they fight hand to hand. Our cannons have a reach of 100ft. We will fire scattershot first to damage their mast. Then if they keep coming towards us, then we will make evasive moves. If they get on these ships, alot more will die. Please, bear with me. Soon we will docking at port and I am sure all of you will be alot more comfortable." Danok said leaving the room. Booms were held a short time later as the ships tried to discourage the pirates. Meanwhile, Naruto appeared to sleep but he was awake in his mind.
Mindscape
Naruto walked down a hall lined with pipes. Where am I? He wondered.
"Come closer, kit. It is time you met your tenant." A voice growled softly. Naruto walked to the end of the hall until in stood in front of a large gate with a seal on it. A huge pair of burning red eyes greeted him.
"Who are you and why are you in my head?" Naturo yelled. Kyuubi winced.
"Easy, kit. I am Kyuubi no Kitsune. The nine tailed fox. You are my kit. I have been inside you since the day you were born. My attack on konoha ended when your Yondaime sealed me in you. In short, I am the reason the villagers hated you. They seen you as the fox reborn. Don't worry because those you truly care for you are with you now. Besides, konoha was going to fall soon enough."
Kyuubi said softly. Naruto stood in front of the great cage tears running down his cheeks. All these years of hate,pain, being called demon, freak, monster. All because they knew that I had the nine tailed Fox inside me.
"Why me? Why would the 4th choose me? I'm a nobody. An orphan. A loser. Why choose me?" Naruto wondered aloud. Kyuubi swished one of his tails out to lift up Naruto's tearful face. Red eyes met blue.
"Because, kit, he knew that you were the strongest, best, and only person for the job. In order for a biiju to exist, they must exist within a strong person." Kyuubi said.
"Do...any others know?" Naruto asked.
"All of the older generations know, some don't care because they see you for you, kit. Most of those on this journey left because of what the council did. These are those who care about YOU." Kyuubi said. Naruto looked away. He knew that some of the village didn't hate him. Some did. Now he knew why. But why keep it secret? Why not tell him? Naruto begin to feel a little faint.
"Kyuubi? What's happening?"
"You are waking up. I'll see you later kit." Kyuubi said as Naruto faded. Sakura was sitting in between Naruto and Sasuke when she heard Naruto moan.
"Naruto? Are you awake?" Sakura said looking at the blonde. Naruto cracked his eyes opened.
"Sakura? Where's Sasuke? Is he alright? I did kill him did I?" Naruto quickly looking around. Sakura sighed.
"He's in the bed on the other side. Yes he'll be fine. No you didn't kill him."She replied. Naruto looked to the bed on the other side of Sakura to see a sleeping Sasuke.
"I really messed up this time. I got banished, Baa-chan and Ero-sennin got banished, most of those who stood up for me left. I'm to blame for everything." Naruto said sadly. Sakura looked at her blonde teammate for a moment then.
Smack!
S..Sakura, why did you slap me? That hurt."
"You are not to blame. Danzo, the civilian council, and Orochimaru are. They used the system to defeat their enemies. ROOT shinobi attacked us when we came to these ships. Freinds of Kakashi-sensi saved us. We left because we couldn't stand what the village was becoming. If it hadn't been for you, alot of peopke wouldn't be who they are today. I wouldn't be alive. We are you friends and teammates. Besides, you're like a little brother to me. The Council is playing with fire. We are the true shinobis of the will of fire. Lady Tsunade said that she'll be in to check on you soon."
"Baa-chan? She hates me doesn't she?" Naruto said. Sakura was beginning to rear her hand back but a voice stopped her.
"What gave you that idea, gaki? Tsunade doesn't hate you. She...couldn't hate you." Jirayia said. Naruto looked at his second sensi. His almond eyes showed no lies.
"Because of me, Konoha lost some great people. I should've left. Not you guys. I'm sorry for being such a pain in the ass." Naruto said.
"Naruto, we are your friends. How long do you think we would've been happy in Konoha without you? We made a choice. You promised me you'd bring Sasuke back to us and you did. The council would've banished anyone in their way. Orochimaru's Hokage now. We chose to leave because of the dirt of Konoha. I go with my team." Sakura said. Naruto still looked down. Jirayia moved to say something but a voice stopped him.
"Oi, Brat. I told you not to blame yourself." Tsunade said. Naruto looked at Tsunade and the man standing beside her.
"Kit, listen to them. I know this man but cannot place him. He can help you and your friends." Kyuubi said. Naruto looked at Tsunade with questions in his eyes.
"Naruto, meet Danok Sanos."
