Konohagakure
It's been two days since Naruto's banishment and the streets are celebrating parties all day long. The Konoha 9 are not celebrating though they're all still in shock and in some cases more than pissed off. Shikamaru won't talk to his dad, he just glares at him. Most of the others are the same. Other than Tenten, of course. She has no parents to glare at but still, she's angry with the villagers.
They're all together now as there are no missions. For the first hour, not a word was spoken, they'd look around and see all the villagers laughing and celebrating like there was something good to celebrate about. None of them know about the Kyuubi being sealed in Naruto. They watch the villagers and shake their heads. Then Kiba speaks up, "This is messed up! We've just lost a friend and those damn idiots are all over the village celebrating! I just want to bash some of their heads in."
Shikamaru sighs, "Our parents seem to be the same I can't even look at my dad right now let alone speak to him. I guess I was right though it's troublesome."
Choji sighs as well, "At least they banished him and didn't kill him."
Everyone nods at that then Tenten sighs "So where do you think he'll go? He's still only 12 and it's dangerous out there all by himself."
Sakura eventually speaks up, a lot of the 9 have ignored her lately for her comments concerning Naruto, "He might visit Tazuna in wave country, he did say he would return to visit, Then, well, there's Gaara maybe he'll visit Suna to see his friend over there."
They all nod as Lee speaks and not too loudly, "Still though, he's only one person what if he gets attacked by missing-nin's? He can take on Genin and maybe most Chūnin, but what if he comes up against a Jōnin level missing-nin?"
They all nod at that but there is little they can do. They're all sad at his banishment. Some more than others, the one's who weren' really nice to him like Sakura and Ino. Sakura at first was unsure of her feelings towards the situation, her parents were over the moon and at first, she was too because he had hurt Sasuke-Kun.
But then she realized that Sasuke-Kun probably wouldn't have listened to reason no matter who was talking and he did almost kill Naruto. After lot's of thought she realized something, she realized that she'd never want Naruto banished.
Meanwhile, Naruto's been walking for two days but not really heading to a specific place until he reached a bridge. He stops upon seeing his name and grins. It's the first time he's done that in days "They named it after me huh? Wow, that's cool suck on that everyone! A bridge was named after me!"
He's about to walk off when he remembered he said he would return. Well he has nothing better to do. He crosses the bridge that he helped guard and smiles again as he keeps on walking until he sees someone he recognizes. He grins wider and approaches her, "Excuse me Mrs?"
Tsunami turns around, "Yes? What can I... Naruto! Why this is a nice surprise."
Naruto nods, "Yea told you I'd come back."
She smiles, "Are you with your team?"
Naruto shakes his head no, "A lot has happened since we came here."
She then notices he isn't wearing his headband and notices he's not his hyperactive self, "Come on Naruto I'll make you some tea and we can talk about what's happened."
Naruto nods, "Do you want help with those."
She smiles at his offer, "Why not" She passes him one of the bags and they talk on the way but not about Naruto, more about Wave country. It's prospered since Gato's downfall. The walk doesn't take long but Naruto is shocked when she takes him to a massive house. As she sees his shock she chuckles, "They made Tazuna the mayor after the bridge was built."
Naruto smiles, "That's cool."
She nods, "Yeah, it is come on in."
She steps inside and Naruto follows her and they put the groceries away and she makes some tea. Just as there about to start the door opens and in comes Inari and Tazuna. They walk into the kitchen and see Naruto, Inari grins, "Naruto Oniisan."
Naruto smiles, "Hey Inari, man you've grown up."
Tazuna smiles "It's good to see you Naruto where is your team."
At that Naruto's smile drops, "You might as well sit down."
They all sit down and Naruto tells them what happened. There all shocked Inari is angry though, treating his Oniisan this way.
Tsunami sighs, "So what are you going to do Naruto?"
Naruto shrugs, "Not sure really, travel I guess. Maybe visit Suna and see Gaara, after that? I really have no idea."
She nods and Tazuna sighs, "I can't believe they would do that, Sasuke made his choice. It seems to me they just used any excuse to get rid of you."
Naruto nods, "Yeah, probably."
Tazuna nods, "Well, while you're here, you up for a mission? There's been bandits trying to set up a toll on the bridge I was going to request that Konoha deal with it but with this I think I'll not rely on them anymore. So, you up for it? I can pay and you can stay here for a while. There's a boat leaving in two weeks and it's travelling to the border of Suna."
Naruto nods, "Yeah, that would be fine. So tell me about this mission."
Tsunami stands up and motions to her son, "Come, Inari let these two discuss the mission."
Inari nods, "See you soon Naruto Oniisan."
Naruto nods back and turns to Tazuna to discuss the mission...
Two weeks later...
Naruto has just woken up. The mission against the bandits was almost too easy, easy enough that Naruto and 50 clones dealt with all the bandits in 10 minutes flat. Caught them all unaware and drunk. While he did have to kill a few of them most were just knocked out and they were taken away later on.
Today is the day he leaves the Land of Waves. He's promised to come back again but isn't sure when. He gets a hug from Tsunami who's packed him several lunches which he stored in scrolls. He's also bought some new clothes he finally got out of those orange monstrosities for two reasons one Tsunami finally got it through Naruto's thick skull that it would do him more harm than good even more so now he's literally all alone.
The second reason is he wanted to change who he is, people from Konoha know him as wearing bright Orange and he wants nothing to do with Konoha anymore. They banished him so why should he care? He only really cares about the Ichiraku's. It seems that in the end, Tsunade's friendship was all false. Little did he know she really did care but was holding in her tears for the person she saw as a son.
Naruto got another big hug from Tsunami which left a blush on his face and a smirking Tazuna. He had a handshake from Tazuna and a hug from Inari. He then continued his journey arriving at the port and boarded the boat. It took just two days to get to the border and Naruto helped out on the boat. It was a fishing boat after all so he helped them fish. He actually rather enjoyed it if he's honest. When he said goodbye the captain was sad to see him go.
Naruto continued his journey stopping off to get some clothes for the sand a hood and some looser clothes. He then continued the journey on the way he got attacked by bandits. They picked a bad day to attack him though, because his water had just run out and he was cranky. When the 50 bandits demanded Naruto hand over everything he had, he created 500 clones and left the clones to deal with the bandits and to search them for water. If there was none to dispel but. If there was to follow him.
One clone returned with over 25 water flasks definitely a bad day for the bandits. He had to enter a cave one night to get out of a sandstorm which totally sucked. He finally arrived at Suna two days later he was stopped at the gates.
The guard looks at Naruto, "What is your business traveler?"
Naruto smiles, "Come to visit a friend, Gaara."
The guard looks at Naruto, "You know Gaara?"
Naruto nods, "Yeah, we met at the Chūnin exams."
The guard sighs "A bad day for us, that, tricked by Orochimaru. Can I ask who you are?"
Naruto sighs Trying to keep a low profile, "Just say Whiskers is here to see Gaara."
"Whiskers?"
Naruto nods, "Yeah, he should get who I am. From that."
The guard nods in return, "I will get someone to inform him. Did it take you long to get here?"
"A few days. Would have been here two days ago but got stuck in a sandstorm. Man they suck."
The guard chuckles, "I'm sure they do, OK, wait right here."
Naruto nods and sits down to wait. After a few minutes, he hears a female voice speaking to the guard he spoke to, then hears footsteps which stop next to him.
He then hears the voice, "Why do you want to speak to Gaara?"
Naruto looks up and smiles, "Hey Temari long time no see."
"Naruto? What are you doing here?"
She helps him up and he brushes himself off, "A long story, man walking across that desert sucks. How do you do it?"
She grins, "Practice, Hey, Are you hungry?"
Naruto nods "Yea."
She nods, "Well then, come on, Gaara will be happy to see you, Wait! Are you here alone?"
Naruto nods, "Long story remember."
She nods "Of course."
They walk to the Sabaku compound and when they enter Gaara's sitting down but is surprised to see Naruto following Temari inside, "Naruto what are you doing here?"
Naruto grins, "Can't a friend visit a friend?"
Gaara nods, "Of course have a seat."
Naruto takes off the cloak and hood and they notice not only no Orange clothes but no leaf headband. Naruto notices and smiles a few minutes later Temari comes back with sandwiches and tea by then Kankurō has joined them. They quickly eat then Naruto sighs, "OK long story short I was banished."
