Return of the Forsaken

Don't own Naruto

#2 Broken Trust Renewed



Raze helped Tenten carry Neji to the hospital and left for the inn.

He looked around as he walked. A few years ago if he had walked down these

streets he would have been teased, taunted, and beaten up.

Now as he walked he got some looks from people but it wasn't of pure

hatred.For him it was good.

"Here we go," Raze said as he walked into the inn.

"Hello. How may I help you?" The clerk asked.

"Raze Kazemirage," Raze said.

"Ok Mr. Kazemirage. Your room is the 3 floor. I hope you enjoy your

stay," The clerk said as she handed him his keys. Raze saw she was blushing

a bit, and her hands would not let go of the keys. His hand was touching

her's.

Back in the sand when Naruto became a teenager and was seeing the

village more. Hebecame the popular boy of the village. He was nice and good looking, was well

mannered and thoughtful. Even though he was a bit on the loud side and hyperactive it brought

excitement to the village.

Naruto was able to kindly take away the keys,. and he headed for his

room. Even with a mask he got looks from the female workers. He shook his

head as he blushed. He opened the door and headed in. The room was rather

large. It had a king size bed and a medium sized television set. He

opened the balcony door.

"It's too nice a night to spend in a room," Naruto said as he jumped

out.

*****************************************************************

Naruto listened to the night's noise as he sat on top of the Hokage

memorial. He suddenly sniffed the air.

"It has been a while hasn't Kakashi?" Naruto asked.

"How did ....?" Kakashi started.

"Kiba's not the only one with a great scent of smell plus my nose

doesn't need chakra." Naruto said as he tipped his nose. Kakashi walked next

to Naruto and sat down. "I see the village hasn't changed since I left,"

Naruto said, "If they only knew how closer the 'nine tails demon' is to them,"

"That would started a huge panic. Before they picked on you because you

were weaker than them, but now... I heard you bet Sasuke and Neji easily.

Well, You buried Sasuke up to his neck, and you knocked Neji back about 10

meters," Kakashi said.

"I fight with a lot of strong people. You of all people should know

what I

deal with," Naruto said, "I'm the Anbu captain of the Sand,"

"I don't think that it's a good time for you to return,"Kakashi said.

"I'm not staying," Naruto said. This caught Kakashi's attention.

"I have my reasons but It's mostly about this reason," Naruto said as

he held up his hand to show Kakashi the gold ring on his finger.

"I see. Anyways I don't think that it's a good time for you to show the

village who you really are," Kakashi said.

"That's why it's Raze who's visiting the Leaf, not Naruto Uzumaki,"

Naruto said, "Raze of the Sand Devils, Raze of the Razor Wing and Raze of

the dark arts,"

"One of the most powerful ninjas ever. I heard that you're a candidate

for Kazekage" Kakashi said.

"Can't be a Hokage without the real respect of the people. Even if I

became the Hokage, they would still hate me," Naruto said as he fell on his

back and looked up, "So where have you been?"

"On a mission. I just came back," Kakashi said, "I guess everyone

changes over time.You haven't yelled a single word yet,"

"Better than I was when you escorted me out of the village," Naruto

said, "I remember you threatening that you would rip up any anbu member with your chidori if

they layed a hand on me," Naruto laughed a bit.

"Everyone moved on, but the topic as to where you are will still come

up. They want to know where the 'weapon' is. They moved from hating you, to

thinking that you're like Gaara," Kakashi said.

"I said this once before I decided that I'd be a ninja my own way. I'm

no one's weapon or tool. I am me, a person, not a weapon," Naruto said, "The Sand Devils are

ninjas, not tools or weapons. We choose our own missions. We fight against who we have to,"

*****************************************************************

"Raze Kazemirage is joining the traitor's side in the challenge. This

isn't good," One of the Hyuga said to Hiashi.

"Raze of the Dark Arts?" Hiashi asked coldly.

"Yes. The one and the same. The leader of the Sand Devils and the Sand

Anbu captain," The Hyuga said, "He has shown that he is very powerful. He easily defeated

Sasuke, and Neji, and he uses the Kage Jyuuken,"

"That could be troublesome," Hiashi said, "Do we have someone following

him?"

"We sent someone but Raze discovered him, and he's in the ICU, but he

won't get into trouble since it was in self defense. Seems like the spy panicked

and attacked," The Hyuga said.

"About how strong is he?" Hiashi asked.

"Judging from rumors, data and when I seen, As strong as you sir," the

Hyuga said.

"That's impossible! I am the strongest of the Hyuga, and The Hyuga is

the strongest clan in the Leaf," Hiashi started losing his cool.

"Raze isn't of the Leaf," A voice said.

"Who's there?" The Hyuga asked. Hiashi turned and watched as the wall

illusion disappeared and Raze appeared.

"Why don't you simply let Hinata and Neji leave the clan? It would be

much easier than a tournament," Raze said.

"It would show weakness among the entire clan," Hiashi said.

"Instead you have them and their friends fight the Hyuga Clan's best?"

Raze asked.

"It'll show them the power of the Hyuga clan," Hirashi said. Raze

chuckled as he shookhis head.

"Too bad the best of the Hyuga clan doesn't stack up to me," Raze said

as he turned.

"No one can win an entire tournament," Hiashi said.

"Be prepared for a lot of surprises then. I was also trained outside

the Sand before. I know many Taijutsu styles," Raze said, "I have the knowledge of 10

000 years of war," Raze disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

"Ten thousands years?" Hiashi asked.

*****************************************************************

"So what happened to you!?" Kiba yelled as Neji came to the practice

area. In Hinata, and Neji's team there was well Hinata, and Neji of course

then Lee and Kiba.

"Me," Raze said as he dropped out of the tree.

"Who are you?" Hinata asked.

"Name's Raze Kazemirage. Your fifth fighter," Raze said as he took a

bow.

"Kazemirage? I remember I have heard of that name before," Kiba said.

"Raze of the Sand Devils," Raze said.

"You are Gaara's teammate!" Kiba yelled. Kiba looked around only to

find that Akamaru had high tailed it out of there.

"Akamaru!" Kiba yelled as he chased after him. Hinata looked at Raze.

Something was familiar about him.

"What style of Taijustu do you fight with?" Hinata asked.

"A lot of styles," Raze said, "Iron fists style, gentle fist styles, grappling style, Well a lot to say

the least, but I'll be using my Kage Jyuuken in the tournament for the most part. It's you who

needs the help,"

"What do mean?" Lee asked.

"All of your taijutsu styles are from the Leaf. It is possible that the

the Hyuga will know every move that you have especially you two. You

practice the same style as them," Raze said as he pointed at Neji and Hinata.

"And I take it that you don't?" Neji asked.

"I know a couple of lost arts, some forbidden ones ,and some insane

suicidal ones," Raze explained, "I can teach you some of them, but it's up to you on

how to use them"

"So instead of just one style you make it so that it is a hybrid

style?" Sakura asked. She would come to help Hinata with the medical stuff

incase someone got hurt.

"More or less. It's an edge that I can give you guys," Raze said as he

sat down crossed legged.

"What can these additions in style really do? It will simply mess up

your own style adding new elements to them," Neji said.

"I remember hearing about a ninja who's style changed very single

battle he fought in. He was only defeated by Class S criminals, and even

then it was close," Raze said as he stood up.

"He's ..not around anymore," Sakura said sadly.

"That's too bad. I was given, for you," Raze said as he held up a

letter in an orange envelop.

"From Naruto, It was written about 4 years ago. 2 years since he

disappeared," Raze said. Sakura grabbed it out of his hand. She opened it up. The letter was

written in his handwriting and it looked old. Sakura started to read it out loud.

Hey Everyone,

By the time you would get this letter it'll be a while. So how's

everyone doing? I'm currently in the Hidden Sand village. Kakashi and a

couple of Anbu helped get me out of the village. I'm sorry for what I said

before last time I saw all of you. I was in a very bad state of mind. I

don't think that you guys will see me again, so I hope this letter reaches

all of you. Temari has helped me for the past 2 years. Well I hope all of

you are ok and I wish all for you a good life. We might see each other again.

Signed,

Uzumaki Naruto

FLASHBACK

Sakura opened the door to Naruto's apartment. Like Naruto to leave it

unlocked. Lucky no one knew that he lived here. Sakura looked inside as

Sasuke stood guard, and looked around. Sakura simply took a few steps

backwards then she hit the wall and slid down. She was as white as a ghost,

and was mumbling nonsense about blood, blades and Naruto.

Sasuke ooked inside. "No way," Sasuke muttered. In the living room there was a pile of

paper that was still burning in the fireplace, a couch, and in

the darkest of corner was Naruto. He was sitting with his body

limp, and held loosly in his right hand was a kunai covered with blood.

Naruto's left wrist was sliced wide open. Even if most of it was healed

there was still a large pool of blood surrounding him.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Naruto's eyes fluttered then opened. His eyes had bags under them

because He hadn't gotten much sleep. He slept with a kunai under his pillow.

Naruto sat up and looked

around. Every team he knew and his 'friends' were there. He hadn't seen most

of them since the war.

"I hate all of you," Naruto said with disgust as he threw his head back

down to the bed and threw the sheets over his head. Everyone left. They

understood why he said it. It was true. He had a reason to.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

"Naruto?" Tsunade asked as she walked into the hospital room. Naruto

was sitting crossed legged in his bed, and looked at his legs.

"Hey. What do you want?" Naruto asked. His voice was low and depressed.

"I arranged something for your safety. I have arranged for you to go to

the Sand," Tsunade said, "I have an Anbu team led by Kakashi to escort you

to the village,"

"The Leaf Village. The Sand Village. Doesn't make any difference to

me," Naruto said as he continued to look at his legs. Tsunade slowly reached out, but Naruto

jerked away when she touched him.

"Just leave me alone," Naruto said.

"Sorry Naruto, but I can't do that. I'm sorry," Tsunade said as a

feathers appeared in the air.Naruto fell back asleep, and The Anbu team walked in.

"Be careful with him. I'll personally beat up you if he's hurt," Tsunade threaten.

"I'll rip you to shreds with my Chidori if any of you make a threatening move at him?"

Kakashi Growled. The Anbu nodded as Kakashi picked Naruto off the bed.
