I don't own Naruto or any of its characters.
Pairings: Naruto x Hinata and/or (Naruto x "Female" Haku maybe)
Info: This story follows after Sasuke left leaf to join Orochimaru. Naruto and gang manage to get him back and I'm taking it from there.
English is not my first language; please inform me if there are any mistakes I'll correct them.
I got the idea for this fic from BigAznDaddy's Survival of the Forsaken.

'Naruto, it is because of you that I feel this pain! The pain of loneliness. You think you had it bad? Well you are completely wrong! All Sasuke-kun wanted was to get stronger and you always had to be in the way, and all I have ever wanted was to have Sasuke to my self. But no, you always had to be around! Messing up Sasuke-kun's time with me. During the forest of death exams if you were not there I bet Sasuke-kun could have beaten Orochimaru but once again you had to get in the way. It's your fault that Sasuke-kun and I are suffering now. No wonder the villagers hate you so much. I finally understand why you have to die. My parents and the council were right; you have to die for all your crimes. You are nothing but a worthless dead-last of a shinobi. I hope you suffer in the after life Naruto, for all that you have done to us!' Thought Sakura as they approached Naruto's apartment.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naruto could only stand at his door as Setsuna read out his so called sentence. He had so many thoughts running through his mind the moment the word came out of her mouth.
'What did I do?'
'Why does this happen to me?'
'Does Tsunade know about this?'
'Does she want me dead to?'
'Do I deserve this'
Naruto was about to open his mouth to ask a question when he saw Sakura come up. Hope flared with him as he saw his teammate coming to his rescue but that hope soon turned to shock when he heard what Sakura said to him.
"Naruto listen to my mother and do as she says. If you don't come peacefully I'm sure everyone here will be more than willing to drag you out to the street like the worthless dog that you are." Sneered Sakura right to Naruto's face.
"Why Sakura-chan? Why are you doing this?" Asked Naruto in a voice barely above a whisper.
"I'm doing this because it's what you deserve you bastard. You are the sole cause of everyone's suffering especially and Sasuke-kun and me. For that you have to die. You know what's funny? When I approached my parents to get the council to punish you, I never knew that they would go one step further by executing you, but I'm not complaining, that's one less trash for me to deal with on a daily basis. And I'm sure the villagers will thank us when you're dead." With that she spat at Naruto's face before turning around.
Naruto only stepped out of his shocked state when he saw Baki grabbing Setsuna's hand from dragging Naruto by his hair.
Temari immediately came up and wrapped Naruto in a hug from behind while putting her fan in its folded state in from of him daring anyone to make one false move. While Gaara and Kankuro were inches away from killing everyone except that Baki told them to hold that notion off until he found out as to what the hell was going on.
"What's the hell do you mean you are here to escort Naruto to be executed? What are his so called crimes against Konoha?" Asked Baki with venom in his voice.
Everyone present there was currently shaking with fear because of the killing intent being projected by the group of 4 not including Naruto. Even though they had 3 Anbu's with them and Sakura's parents they knew that if the sand 4 were to attack it would be nothing short of a massacre.
"W-we the council and the village representatives have agreed that Uzumaki Naruto is dangerous to the village and for his crimes as the demon Kyubi, the attack 13 years ago and for causing the last Uchiha to try and betray his village, it has been decided that he has to be executed." Explained one of the village council members with as much courage as he could muster.
"What kind of bullshit is this?!!! What the hell do you mean for his crimes as Kyubi 13 years ago? Was he the Kyubi before it was sealed within him? You people are the epitome of idiocy." Yelled Baki. Everyone there flinched at the tone of his voice before Setsuna spoke.
"That is irrelevant. And no matter what you say will not change it. Uzumaki will be executed and you will not stop us." Sneered Setsuna.
"Oh I wont stop you will I? Are you brave enough to test that theory?" Baki tone was so cold it sent shivers down even the Anbu's spine.
"Kankuro go and get the hokage! We will see what she has to say about this as you need the hokage's approval in order to execute someone." Ordered Baki to Kankuro who immediately set for to the task. One of the Anbu's were about to stop Kankuro if it were not for Gaara's sand poised for an attack the moment the Anbu's made a move.
Setsuna and the council members knew if the hokage were to arrive she would have their heads for even thinking about this. So thinking fast they decided to push forward with their plan to get Naruto to the town square. After all if the entire village backing them up the hokage has to agree to their demands.
"Even if the hokage arrives you will see that she will agree to our demands. So do not cause anymore trouble and follow us to the town square." Said Setsuna.
"We will not be going anywhere until the hokage arrives." Replied Baki.
"I-I-its ok. Let follow them to the town square. Today we will finish this one way or another." Said Naruto shocking everyone.
"Naruto you don't have to do this we can wait for the hokage to come here" Temari was cut off when Naruto interrupted her.
"No! Let's go to the town square. I'm sick of all of this! Like I said today it ends one way or another."
Without anything more to reply everyone set out to the town square. The entire village populace were wondering as to what was going on when the word started spreading. Soon the half of the village was convened at the town square.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naruto finally understood about his life. He was sick of living it like this and like he said today it was going to end. Either he dies or lives, but he knew that even if he lived things were not going to be the same anymore. He, Gaara, Temari and Baki were barely holding in their anger when they heard some of the whispers being directed towards Naruto.
"Finally the demon is going to die"
"Look at him, I don't know why we even kept him alive this long. We should have killed him when he was a baby."
"See those whisker marks on his face? That's because he the demon fox."
"Its be cause he was a demon that his parents died. I'll bet they were too ashamed and scared of their own son. I know I would be if it was me."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sakura was shocked to hear that Naruto was the demon fox at first. But after thinking about it her hate for him only grew by leaps and bounds making her resolve to see him die stronger.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Soon the crowd started speaking and cursing Naruto louder and louder as their courage grew seeing that they outnumbered the demon and his 3 friends. The braver ones even started throwing stones to Naruto only to be blocked by Gaara's sand. Gaara was about to do more but he was stopped when Naruto placed a hand on his shoulder.
The crowd was starting to get worked up into a frenzy but they soon stopped silent when the hokage Tsunade arrived at the scene with Kakashi and Ibiki and Kankuro in tow.
And she was mad.......
