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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hiashi was wondering as to what was going on. He had just arrived at the huge meeting field located behind the hokage tower after he and the whole clan was summoned for an emergency meeting. He immediately felt uneasy as though something bad had happened but he suppressed the feeling hoping that whatever he was feeling was based on nothing.

The moment he took his place at one of the seats that were reserved for especially for the clan heads of Konoha, Shinogu arrived looking very disturbed.

"What's wrong my friend? You look disturbed." Asked Hiashi.

"I just heard some very disturbing news involving Naruto and I fear that this is what the meeting is about." Replied Shinogu.

"What what's wrong with Naruto tell me!" demanded Hiashi feeling very protective of the fox-boy.

"I'm not sure Hiashi. I do not want to start any rumors if I can, so let's just wait for the hokage to explain what's this all about."

"Very well. But if this meeting is not related to Naruto you better tell me what happened." Demanded Hiashi to his long-time friend.

Shinogu just sighed before answering.

"Of course Hiashi. If this meeting is not about Naruto, I will personally be looking for answers regarding to what I heard about Naruto but seeing that Naruto is not present here, it only confirms my theory that this meeting somehow involves Naruto."

Hiashi just nodded and stood up when the only female hokage of Konoha arrived at the field with her escort of Anbu's. Hiashi knew she was using a very advance and powerful genjutsu to conceal the fact that she was old, but for some reason even her genjutsu could not hide the fact that she was looking very weary. This only made Hiashi and Shinogu even more worried.

Hinata was looking around for her crush, but no matter how hard she looked even with her Byakugan she could not find him. And as she saw that almost every Konoha shinobi's were present in the meeting except for the Anbu guards and patrols. She knew sometthing was wrong, and she was worried.....

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

Tsunade sighed at she surveyed her gathered shinobi's. She knew that at least half of them here would be glad that Naruto was gone, but it was the reaction of the other half that she was worried about. Naruto had made quite an impression on some of them and some were already fond of Naruto like the Shinogu, Hiashi and their family.

'This is going to be very painful for some of those present here.' Tsunade thought with a smirk while eying the Haruno's and the idiotic council members.

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

Once the hundreds of ninja's gathered in the field Tsunade began.

"I'm sure almost all of you are wondering as to why I have called an emergency meeting here today." She saw nods of agreement pass through the crowds before she continued.

"Today something which can only be describe as sickening happened. Today the village turned on one of its own and almost had this person publicly executed for crimes he did not commit." Dragged Tsunade.

"What are you talking about Hokage-sama? And who is this person?" asked Hiashi after seeing Shinogu tense. The sinking feeling that he got at the beginning was getting deeper and he prayed to what ever gods there were out there that nothing had happened to Naruto.

"I was getting to that Hiashi. Today this stupid village and it's oh so amazingly glorious council decided to have Uzumaki Naruto executed." The moment those words were spoken, all hell broke loose. The cheers were deafening but the yells of outrage were even worse. Those who were cheering immediately clammed shut when the others glared at them.

"HOKAGE-SAMA!!! What do you mean......? What happened to Naruto? Where is he? Is he alright?" yelled Iruka franticly.

"EVERYONE CALM DOWN AND SHUT-UP" yelled Tsunade above the din.

At once all the noise stopped and everyone once more gave their full attention to the angry hokage.

"Iruka please calm down. Naruto is fine, if you would please return to your previous position I will explain what happened." Iruka nodded and returned to where the chunnin's were standing.

"As I was saying, some members of this village went to the council and requested for Uzumaki Naruto to be punished for injuring the traitorous Uchiha during the retrieval mission. But the council decided that it was prudent to take further action and to have Naruto executed publicly." Explained Tsunade.

"But hokage-sama the council and the villagers need your authorization for something like that. And I'm sure you did not give it to them seeing as Naruto is still alive as you said." Asked Kurenai while the rest nodded.

"That's true they needed my permission and no I did not give it to them. But the council some villagers and the village representatives decided that they wielded more power in this village and went forth with the plans to execute Naruto. However I managed to arrive in time after being informed by one of the sand shinobi's who was transferred here. When I confronted the idiots for an answer they threatened to start a riot if their demands were not met and with most of the villagers backing them up I'm sure that would have happened."

This time the furious gazes were directed to a terrified village council who were seated at the far left side of the hokage.

"How dare they threaten the hokage!!"

"We should have them punished"

"I told you something like this would have happened sooner or later"

"He's right the council was always trying to challenge the hokage's powers even with the third"

"Silence!" roared Hyuga Hiashi and the crowed went dead.

"Hokage-sama as much has I agree with everyone about the council and their stupidity, please tell us as to who was the cause of this problems in the first place and where is Naruto now. I know I speak for a lot of us here when I saw we are worried for his safety." Said Hiashi calmly.

Tsunade gave out a tired sigh before continuing her story.

"If you want to know as to who was responsible for all of this mess, feel free to ask Haruno Sakura and her parents. I'm sure they will be glad to tell you as to why they did it. If they hesitate I'm sure some of you can be VERY persuasive in getting answers." Said Tsunade with a wicked glint in her eye.

Sakura and her parents immediately felt like killing themselves right then and there after feeling the most intense killing intent projected at them. Anything was better than that. It was almost unbearable, but somehow they managed to pull themselves together without wetting themselves.

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

Sakura looked at the other genins hoping to get some form of support, but she was shocked to see disgust and barely suppressed anger being projected towards her. Kiba even spat at the ground when he looked at her. But what surprised her even more was that Ino, Tenten and Hinata's sister were pulling and holding back a furious Hinata from ripping Sakura to shreds. Sakura immediately shrank back to her parents for protection. Not that it was of any use if everyone decided to attack.

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

"Now as for what happened to Uzumaki Naruto, I plead for you to listen to everything before you jump to bite my neck off. I did what I had to do and even though I don't like it, it was for the best." After surveying the crowd for a second she proceeded.

"After the council's threat was made clear to me I took the only course of action that would save Naruto and give the villagers what they wanted at the same time............I stripped Uzumaki Naruto of his Konoha citizenship, his shinobi title and banished him from Konoha. The sand shinobi's declined their Konoha citizenship and followed Naruto seeing as they had sort of adopted him. They left a few hours ago and I have no idea as to where they went." As Tsunade finished she was barely keeping her tears in check.

The genins, their sensei's, Iruka, the Aburame's and Hiashi and his family could not believe their ears. Naruto was gone never to come back.

"Hokage-sama surely there could be a way to bring Naruto back and revoke your decision? Let the villagers do what ever they want I promise you the Hyuga's will be beside you." Said Hiashi.

"As will the Aburame's." added Shinogu.

"I'm afraid everyone that is not possible. You see Naruto after going through all that was unable to take it anymore. He and the sound Nins nearly went berserk at all the threats Naruto was receiving. And Naruto himself told me that he had enough. And let me ask you this, if Naruto were to return do you actually things would have gone back to normal. Do you actually think that the idiots in this village will treat Naruto like the here he truly is? Hell! Do you even thing that they would even treat him as an actual human being?" asked Tsunade with her voice getting louder and louder with every word.

Hiashi understood and stood up once more.

"Everyone we are returning to the Hyuga estates now." Hiashi addressed the Hyuga's present.

The rest of the shinobi's and the clans also started dispersing after Tsunade announced that the hearing for the council and the Haruno's would be held in a weeks time.

Right before going away Shinogu whispered into Hiashi ear.

"I'll meet you after I have a meeting with my clan"

"Very Well. I will see you then. As for me......it's time to put my clans elders in their place."

Little did Konoha know that in the next few hours a new revolution and riot was about to take place........it was going to be bad for Konoha, but it was going to be good for Naruto in more ways than one.
