Hello everyone. I finally got off my ass and decided to write chapter 2, by the time you are reading this it's Wednesday but I'm writing it Tuesday.

I just wanted to say a few things first.

1 Thanks for the kind reviews. I really appreciate them. They made my day when I read them.

2 Asura. Now I know some of you pointed out that giving naruto asura's chakra would make jigen desire him to be his vessel more but I think that wouldn't work out well for him if i decided to roll with that. You have to find out this chapter. But why you may be wondering? Well if he has an otsutsuki's chakra in him already that would just (A) cancel out both or (B) give him a white karma seal which means that he can't be Isshiki's vessel which would lower the stakes but it would create an interesting story about naruto getting strong enough to body kara and other threats in the naruto world. But idk if I wanna do that so we will have to wait and see. Also if he has a white kama seal jigen will still want him for experiments, a potential way to turn a white kama seal into a regular one, And he doesn't want kara's secrets to be leaked. He won't go into the field himself for a while though

3 I haven't watched boruto yet so most of this info is from youtube, google, and narutopedia. That's literally how I learned how the kama seal works

And 4 The Akatsuki will be involved. Some may be friends others foes you will just have to wait and see

Also, I would put naruto at mid-high chunin level right now. Can't have him be too strong at the moment

Anyways that's enough rambling. Chapter 2 Escape. START!

Edit: i just decided there will be no Indra/asura reincarnations.


Time skip: 6 years

Naruto looked back. He didn't want to go back to jigen. He was free like a bird now. 'I need to thank Amado if I see him again." Naruto remembered that Amado arranged for this along with Kashin koji. Together they must have crashed victors blimp. Naruto looked at his surroundings and sighed his luck was terrible "WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE THE LAND OF FIRE?' Naruto shouted aloud. He didn't want to be anywhere near Konoha. They would most certainly take him back and he didn't want to go back to the glares and hatred. No, never again would he be hated for no reason!

Naruto then looked back at the crash. There was a lot of smoke. Shinobi would be here soon, He had to leave now before they got here or before victor's puppets awakened. The bastard was a part of kara for his own selfish reasons so he would most likely just kidnap him before a kara member came after him. So he had to GTFO now. Naruto grabbed one of the puppet cloaks he would need. His blond hair was very recognizable

Naruto then began fleeing.' I should go to a town, supplies would be nice.' Naruto thought. He was making plans already. He couldn't go to a hidden village, especially Konoha. They would just use him for their own selfish gain or try to extract the Kyuubi. Naruto knew he had the Kyuubi. He knew after jigen implanted the mark onto him and the Kyuubi tried to stop it but it went catatonic after. He still couldn't get the stupid fox to wake up, nor could he use its power at the moment. He could only gain claws that weren't that strong without the Kyuubi's chakra to strengthen them.

Naruto began going through the forest. He hated trees as they just reminded him of pain. They were good covers though. Speaking of cover. A stream of fire blazed toward Naruto which he dodged by hiding behind a tree. "I knew that bastard would try something. There are too many of them to fight and I need to escape." Naruto was looking at upwards of sixty puppets that would make any suna puppet look like a joke. But he couldn't get away that easily so he had to fight his way out or make a gamble and escape. Luckily he was a human so he was actually smart.

Naruto jumped out from the tree then he began his attack by ripping one of the puppet's arms off. He then started swinging the arm around like a club knocking the puppets away. But the puppets were durable enough to survive. that and their hands pulled themselves up to reveal flamethrowers and bayonets. "Shit" the puppets began to shoot fire and try to stab him. Naruto jumped off one of the puppets, grabbing one of the branches on a tall tree and swinging his club at a random puppet that grabbed onto his leg. The puppet was destroyed with a loud crack being heard for a few seconds

The puppets refused to back down and they began to climb up the tree quickly at that. As they were about to reach naruto he suddenly substituted with a log. "Praise be the holy log!" Truth be told, Jigen actually encouraged Naruto to read and he even got him books on chakra and basic ninjutsu. He learned the substitution and the transformation but he couldn't learn the thrice-damned clone technique! He also learned the shunshin. He used to love using it before jigen got annoyed and um "encouraged" him to not use it in the kara headquarters anymore. So he stopped using it.

Naruto shunshined to a different tree branch after puppets continued to swarm his other new tree branch. "You really won't give up won't you?" Naruto by this time had destroyed around 20 puppets. The rest of the puppets began to climb the trees around him. He was having fun, he hasn't beaten anything before so this was new to him. Naruto grabbed one of the puppet's heads and ripped it from its body. The puppet tried to spit out a kunai but Naruto grabbed it and threw it at another puppet impaling its head with ease. He was starting to hate these puppets

Naruto then threw the puppet's head like a baseball, knocking off a few more puppet's heads. "Down to 30 now" A puppet spat a kunai from behind him stabbing his calf. "Spoke too soon" Naruto didn't outwardly show he was affected. He dealt with worse so this just disabled movement. It still sucked though

"I need to get away now. " Naruto pulled out the kunai and threw it to the popped behind him but it dodged. Then the puppets all spat a bunch of poison "It's official I hate puppets now" Naruto claimed. The puppets were beginning to swarm him now and he didn't want to abuse log-samas' grace. Naruto then ripped off a small branch from the tree he was on and threw it like a spear hitting a few puppets, distracting them temporarily. He then ripped off a part of his cloak and wrapped it around his calf. It would work for now but he would need some help soon

Naruto shunshined away. He left the remaining puppets to themselves.


Blimp-crash site

Garō wasn't a happy man. Jigen wouldn't be happy either. Naruto was missing and the puppets were activated, This wasn't good. Kara's goal might be leaked and that wouldn't be good at all for their ambition. He could sense Naruto's chakra up north for a little while. But he was no sensor so he didn't know if he would be there or not. He elected to follow him after he dealt with these pesky ninjas. "BRING IT ON" He yelled to a bunch of random shinobi looking on at him with awe and fear


Back with Naruto

Naruto had reached Tanzaku town a gambling town. It would work well enough for finding everything he needed.

"I wonder if I can find any ramen here?" Naruto mumbled. It had been literal years since he had ramen and he wanted quite a bit of it to make up for lost time... but he needed money first. So he either gets a job or...

"GET BACK HERE YOU LITTLE THIEF " A man cried. He was overweight, balding, wore a fancy suit, and he was here to gamble. Naruto had pickpocketed him as he was a perfect target for such a thing. "No can do..." Naruto said mockingly. He was really enjoying himself now. He had to do this more often, it was entertaining.

People tried to help the man catch Naruto but it was of no use. Naruto was simply faster than them.

Naruto eventually ducked into an ally "Haha sucker" Naruto then threw away the wallet after stealing all of the money inside. He wanted to get some new clothes, supplies, and most importantly. " Ten large bowls of miso ramen, please," Naruto told the shop owner. The man looked elated. Nobody ordered that much ramen at once. But the owner was excited about his customer ordering that much

"Right away sir!" The man was very enthusiastic. As was naruto. The ramen chef then began cooking the ramen

Naruto was happy. Today was an awesome day... Other than getting stabbed he had escaped jigen, had a fun fight, and most importantly he was getting his ramen. There were other things he needed to do like replace his clothing. Currently, he was wearing an old white tank top and baggy pants along with shinobi sandals. He also needed to buy equipment that shinobi normally use and more books to read. They would be vital until he could find or bribe someone to be his teacher. But that could take a bit so until then he would work on mastering his chakra and learning what his white mark was. Then he could remove it and be done with it for good. And finally he cou- his thoughts were interrupted by the ramen chef.

"Here you go sir and please enjoy!" The ramen chef handed naruto his ramen and naruto handed him his money.

"Thank you!" Naruto then dug in with gusto. Everyone around him was shocked by how much ramen he could eat and how quickly he could do it.

After around five minutes naruto finished "*BURP!* Thanks again, now I'm off" Naruto got up and left. A clothing store was next on his list of places to visit. Then the library! He really loved reading. It kept him company during his crappy childhood. Books on history, chakra, and fantasy were his best friends. They especially helped him when naruto refused to activate the mark he got from jigen. Naruto really wished he had read books earlier on in his childhood.

He just wished he didn't take jigens hand that fateful day. If he didn't he might have been an idiot but he still would have been better off than he was with jigen. Jigen made his life hell and his will diminished to almost nothing... until Amado and Koji gave him a chance. He would forever thank them for saving him

Naruto left the ramen stand and went into a clothes store. It was time to get a new look. maybe even some hair dye!


Konohagakure: Hokage's office

Hiruzen sighed. After Naruto went missing he had so many calls for him to be removed from office. Danzo really was pissed off at him for losing their "weapon" and it was fair. Naruto must have finally broken under pressure and left. He tried to find him... well Jiraya did but he had no luck and they had given up.

More enraged Danzo, More enraged Danzo, More enraged Danzo, and "Ah finally something different. A petition for using the Uchiha clan district for more business. " Hiruzen sighed, he was at the end of the line with this shit. So many pleas to desecrate a clan that is mostly dead. He didn't get why people wanted to desecrate sacred grounds. They were sacred for a reason.

Hiruzen looked at his desk. He had so much more paperwork to do. "Damn you tobirama-sensei for making me do this paperwork!" Hiruzen sighed. He looked toward the picture of his sensei and his successor; they were both smirking at him. "And damn you minato for leaving me this paperwork again!"

Hiruzen just wished he could retire again. But the only choices were either Danzo or Tsunade and he wasn't sure he could get Tsunade to become the Hokage. Maybe he could get Kakashi to become the Hokage. Hiruzen was just about to burn his paperwork when he heard a knock on the window

*Knock, Knock, Knock*

"Yes jiraiya you can come in," Hiruzen sighed, putting down his paperwork. This gave him an excuse to procrastinate on his paperwork.

"Heya sensei!" Jiraya sounded exciter than usual. After Naruto left jiraiya fell into a dark depression. He failed to be there for naruto.

"You sound happier than usual jiraiya. Did you finally get Tsunade to come back?" hiruzen asked hopefully. He could finally dump this accursed paperwork onto some other poor soul. He would have given the hat to jiraya but he would sooner give up peeping than take up the hat.

"No even better!" Jiraya sounded like he just got flashed by Tsunade. It was unlikely but hey anything was possible

"Tell me already" Hiruzen lit up his pipe. It was a nice stress reliever. Especially after naruto's disappearance

"One of my spy's found naruto" Jiraya's smile looked like it could break his face in half.

Hiruzen's pipe dropped out of his mouth "Where?, When? I need to get Anbu to go after him " Hiruzen truth be told was happy about this new development. He had a chance to actually fulfill his promise to kushina

"I found him in Tanzaku town. He apparently just went there today. He looks pretty banged up like he got into a fight too, my spy said. Also, let me go after him. I will bring him back here in a few hours."

"I would love to let you go after him alone... but I can't because it's standard procedure to have our hunter nin go after him. Danzo will most likely try to use this too as an advantage. He will most likely use the fact that we just found him now to make us look incompetent" hiruzen started. He watched Jiraiya's face deflate. "But i can also have you follow them to make sure nothing goes wrong" Hiruzen finished. Jiraya's face lit up.

"Thank you sensei. I will head out on your orders, ``Jiraya said.

"ANBU" Hiruzen shouted. They had a jinchuuriki to catch.


Root

"With this development ... we can now retrieve the weapon. Get squads three and four and send them to tanzaku town. Make sure they go as quickly as possible." A cold voice said. This voice belonged to one Shimura Danzo. The shadow of Konoha and the darkness of Hiruzen's light.

"Yes, Danzo-sama," the root agent he had spy on Hiruzen said. He was glad he had placed him there.

"Soon the roots that strengthen Konoha will rise stronger than before," Danzo said to himself. Soon he would have the power of the Kyuubi no kitsune. He would be able to get rid of Hiruzen and his peace-loving ways. And soon he would be able to restore Konoha to its former glory as the most powerful village in the world.

All he needed to do was bide his time for a little bit longer.


Back with Naruto

"Thank you, sir" Naruto bowed to the shop owner before walking out in his new outfit. It was a pair of dark orange pants, a black long-sleeved shirt, Fingerless gloves, regular shinobi sandals, and some black hair dye. He couldn't let anyone that had the potential to recognize him see him. So he had to dye his awesome blond hair. He also had 3 extra pairs of his outfit

He hated that he had to do it but it was what needed to be done.

Naruto then left to go rent a hotel room for the night. He needed some sleep and to make sure he was well rested before he went out and grabbed the other stuff he needed.

"One room please," Naruto said to the clerk who just handed him a key. The poor man looked overworked. "By the way, you should go get some sleep," naruto said entering his room and closing the door.

"Okay first thing I need to do is*Naruto quickly and hastily read the instructions* wash my hair, then apply the dye... okay okay. Naruto then began to run some bathwater. A nice hot bath was what he needed at the moment.

Naruto then decided to relax for a little while before he would have to begin his training.

*Knock, knock*

Chapter end


GET CLIFFHANGERED. Anyways, did you like this chapter? Sorry, the different povs were kinda short. I really had no idea what to put there for most of them. Especially Danzo. He was a pain to write. Anyways yes I did a time skip as I said i would do the last chapter. I'm happy with this chapter. I hope Naruto wasn't overly edgy. Also kara will be different and they will have a role in this fic(duh) as will the Akatsuki and everyone else i mentioned in this chapter. No he will not be rejoining konoha(anytime soon. ya never know). Anyways naruto isn't going to be able to evade anbu or jiraya for long. And who was the person knocking at the door? You never know it might even be jigen or pain.(maybe lol)

All jokes aside, who do you think that person knocking was? I know but you all don't and i would love to hear your theories

Anyways, question of the chapter time!: If I give Naruto a weapon, what do you think would suit him best? I'm thinking an ax or a billy club but i just want to hear the public's opinion first before i do anything else

Stalk out

Edit: i will explain why he has a white kama seal later. not next chapter though.

P.s I hope you are all having a great day!
