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.

Tsunade could not believe her own village's stupidity. After all that they have put Naruto through they still had the nerve to blame everything including the Uchiha's betrayal on Naruto. If she was not the hokage she would most definitely have destroyed Konoha for its stupidity.

She arrived just in time to see the villagers cursing and throwing stones at Naruto before they stopped when they spotted her with her 3 escorts.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"What the hell do you idiots think your doing? And who's bright idea was it to see the council to have Naruto executed?" everyone was silent when they heard the hokage's outburst and those who were responsible for Naruto's current predicament were currently cowering in fear, and that included the Haruno's and the council.

"WELL!!!! Answer me dammit! Before I beat it out of each and everyone of you." Yelled an infuriated Tsunade.

"Tsunade-sama we the village representatives and the council decided as a whole that the demon should be executed. If its anyone's fault blame the demon. If he was not alive al....SMACK! Setsuna's words died out when she was slapped and landed more than 20 feet away by Tsunade.

"I-if I ever catch you saying that Naruto's is a demon again that will be the last words to ever escape that foul mouth of yours. Do I make my self clear?" Asked Tsunade while she lifted a terrified Setsuna of the ground by the collar of her jounin vest with one finger.

Setsuna just nodded unable to comprehend as to why the hokage would want to defend the demon. She knew the 3rd was fond of the demon, but Tsunade was new to the village, how could she have become so close to the demon so fast?

"Now I want to know who gave all of you worthless pile of trash the authority to make the decision to execute Naruto? Hmm as far as I know you need the hokage's permission to make the final choice on such a huge decision. And forgive me if I'm wrong, but I'm the hokage and I sure as hell did not give anyone such permission. So anyone care to explain that?" asked Tsunade with an extremely fake sugary voice which promised tons of pain to the ones who were to give her an answer which she did not like.

Everyone gathered there shuddered at the display Tsunade just showed and started arguing as to who was going to explain the current predicament to the enraged hokage.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sakura could not believe that the hokage just hit her mother. Sakura never really understood the raw power a Kage possessed but after what she saw she understood that making a Kage pissed was not a good thing. And currently she was scared out of her wits as she thought as to what the hokage would do to her when she found out that she was the one who started all of this.

Meanwhile Ibiki was taking a sadistic amount of pleasure of seeing Sakura's father and the 3 Anbu's who were involved in this mess squirm under his interrogation. Ibiki never hated the boy in fact he kind of liked the kid's energy and loudness, but now the stupid village had to take their hate one step further. In the back of his mind he wondered if this was the reason that Orochimaru and Itachi betrayed Konoha.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tsunade was currently watching Naruto and his friends from the sand. She smiled sadly at the thought that it took Naruto so long before he actually found some true friends. But what she was afraid of at the moment was the barely suppressed rage she saw in the eyes of the group. The sand 4 she could understand but the expression on Naruto's face was what scared her. It was emotionless except for the occasional flicker of red every once in a while. She understood that even if this matter was settled today nothing would be the same. Before she could confront Naruto and the sand 4 one of the council members stepped front and spoke.

"Hokage-sama we the council and the village representatives have come to the decision that we do not have to explain our choice in this matter to you. We have agreed that today the demon dies. And you better heed to our whishes or the consequences will be dire." Said the old man while Setsuna and the rest of the village idiots stood behind her with a smug expression.

Kakashi, Ibiki and the sand 4 with Naruto could not believe what they were hearing. The stupid villagers actually had the nerve to threaten the hokage.

"Is that a threat elder?" asked Tsunade in an ice cold tone.

"No it is a promise. If you do not agree to our whishes you might find that you have to contend with nothing short of a riot on your hands. And I'm sure the rest of the villagers will agree to this' after all is it not your duty to do what's in the best interest of the village?" said the elder getting braver and braver with every passing second.

Tsunade surveyed the surrounding villagers to see murmurs of agreement ringing throughout the area.

'Damm of all the days I had to send Jiraiya away on a mission today.' Thought Tsunade before she spoke.

"I see. Does everyone here feel the same was as these bastards?" yelled Tsunade.

"Yeah! Kill the demon"

"He deserves nothing less"

"Burn him"

"SHUT UP!!"

"If anyone one of you opens your filthy mouth's again I'll rip you a new one. You actually think I'll stand here picking flowers while you try and execute me? I will kill each and everyone of you before that happens. You call me a demon I'll show you what this so called demon is capable of. If you thought that 13 years ago was a nightmare, it will pale in comparison with what I will do. Like I said this ends today one way or another." Sneered Naruto to the terrified spectators.

"And you will have to deal with us also." Said Gaara while stepping forward with his siblings and Baki.

"If you thought one demon was bad enough what will you do with two?" asked Temari mockingly.

Everyone paled at the last comment.

"Silence!" yelled Tsunade.

"No one will be killing anyone here today as much as I want it to happen." Said Tsunade while she eyed the council and the Haruno's.

"As long as I am hokage I will not let anyone lay a finger on Naruto. How ever I also understand that nothing is going to change even if this matter is settled today. So by the power invested in me as the Hokage of Konoha I hereby strip Uzumaki Naruto of his village citizenship and his shinobi status. Uzumaki Naruto do you understand what this means?" asked Tsunade with a sad smile, while Naruto just nodded his answer.

This means that you are no longer a citizen of Konoha and you will not be welcomed here without proper documents. You are to leave this village as soon as you have gathered your things. And you four since you have not signed your transfer papers from the sand to Konoha you are officially without a village at the moment if you will follow me I will prepare the necessary documents for you Konoha citizenship." Said Tsunade but the pleading in her eyes said otherwise.

"We decline hokage-sama. We have come to the conclusion that this village will do us more harm than good so we will leave with Uzumaki Naruto as soon as he is ready." Said Baki while his three charges nodded their agreement. Tsunade just smiled with relief at their answer.

"Y-you don't have to this I will leave this stupid village you don't have to follow me." Said Naruto.

"Naruto-kun stop being silly. Your our brother now and we will be dammed before anyone breaks us apart." Said Temari while smiling.

"Now if anyone even thinks of laying a finger on our guests they will punished. Those five do not belong to any village now and any attacks on them will reflect bad on us and our current alliance with the sand. So I suggest if you don't want to be the cause of the start of a full scale war between the leaf and the sand...BACK THE HELL OFF!!" yelled Tsunade before escorting the 5 of them to the hokage's office.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After Naruto and the sand 4 gathered all of their belongings they made their way to the hokage tower to finalize everything.

Tsunade was currently hugging the life out of Naruto while crying and saying that she was sorry. Naruto just smiled and said everything was not her fault. But he soon stopped when he spotted Tsunade signing a letter and placing it on her desk.

"Obachan what letter is that?" asked Naruto to Tsunade.

"It's my resignation letter as being hokage. I'm coming with you Naruto." Said Tsunade calmly.

"Hokage-sama you can't be serious!" yelled Kakashi.

"Oh but I am Kakashi. I'm dead serious." Replied Tsunade.

"Obachan. Please don't do this. I understand that you are angry with the village. I am too but don't resign. There are others who need you here." Said Naruto while looking at Tsunade straight in the eye.

"But Naruto you have to understand I cannot forgive them for what they have done. I just cant continue being hokage when all of this has happened."

I know Obachan but please stay for me. People like Iruka sensei and my friends need you to be here. And besides since I cannot become hokage anymore you'll just have to be the best hokage for me..........please do this for me..." Pleaded Naruto.

Tsunade just sighed before she replied. "Very well Naruto I'll continue being the hokage for your sake. And when the time comes I will resign understand Naruto?" asked Tsunade.

Naruto just replied with a small smile.

"By the way Naruto I have already spoken with the bank and all of you family funds have been authorized to be taken out of any branch. Your family was one of the riches families in fire country Naruto use the money wisely. I know you never had any reason to spend all the money you had but now you do. So enjoy yourself and send me a letter when you have settled down. Understand?"

Naruto just nodded before he was looking into the eyes of his former teacher Kakashi.

"Naruto I know I have not been the best of teacher to you but I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me Naruto." Pleaded Kakashi to his ex-student.

"I don't know Kakashi-san maybe with time. But until then I don't know.' Replied Naruto.

Kakashi's heart broke when he heard those words from Naruto but inside he knew he deserved after ignoring Naruto all this while.

As they approached the gates Naruto turned around and embraced Tsunade one last time before saying.

"Please tell everyone I'm sorry and I'll miss them. And tell Iruka sensei I'll treat him to ramen if we ever meet up again."

And with that Naruto and his new family left Konoha never to return for a long time. But when they do return no one will know if it will be as friends or enemies.

With a tired sigh she sent some Anbu's to fetch all the shinobi's and clans for an emergency meeting. It was going to be tough explaining to some of them what just happened.
