A/N - Good day everyone! I got another chapter for you all to read.

In other news! Chapter four of Kitsune Sanctuary got corrupted somehow and I lost the file with all my hard work. I properly raged and almost punched my computer. I now have to restart the entire chapter! Luckily for me, I wasn't completely happy with the product I have created and can rework it. Expect a time-skip very soon in that story!

When the writing is like this, then that means you are not in a scene.

Update - 7/2/2018

Fixed grammatical errors and switched the scenes to bold to make it easier for the readers.


Just as Kami and Naruto are about to start watching another reality, Naruto heard footsteps behind him. This confused the blond boy greatly as he had assumed it was only him and the loli-goddess. He turned around and his jaw hung open as he stared blankly ahead. It is a man that he knew very well. He is fair-skinned with wild spikey black hair covering the right side of his face, one black eye visible. He wore a loose black t-shirt and baggy grey sweat-pants and is barefoot. The man in front of him walking away carrying a bag of chips is Madara Uchiha.

"M-Madara!" Naruto shouted in panic. He immediately jumped to his feet and glared fiercely at the man in front of him who strangely just looked at him lazily. It wasn't exactly what he imagined his next encounter with the man would be like.

"Yo." The elder Uchiha waved lazily at the blond boy. Normally he would have challenged him to a dance of death, but he really wanted to eat more of these delicious chips. Never mind the fact that they are both dead.

Naruto stared dumbfounded at the great evil known as Madara Uchiha. The man who ruined his life and killed many of his loved ones just shrug him off like he didn't matter. That greeting also freaked him out slightly, 'Did Kakashi somehow corrupt the Uchiha?' he thought worriedly, looking over the Uchiha for an orange book of some sort. Luckily, he didn't see the porn anywhere on his body.

"Hey Mada-chan, how is Yami-chan treating you?" the blond goddess asked, her words laced with mirth as she waved at the Uchiha.

The Uchiha grunted at how the damn loli said his name. "She is fine, and very interested in reading different versions of my life. I find her… odd." The elder Uchiha admitted.

"Wait, you have different versions of your life too!?" Naruto shouted in shock. He thought he would be the only one as he thought it is rare. Apparently, it isn't as rare as he thought.

"What of it boy?" Madara grunted. He looked down at his hands and stared at the beautiful bag of chips. Growing up, he never has been a person who enjoyed junk food but dying twice changes things. Plus, that damn goddess Yami force fed him bags upon bags of junk food and told him to get the metaphorical stick out of his ass. She is surprisingly persuasive.

Naruto was about to respond to the rude comment but someone else beat him to it. "Mada-kun, where are you? You're not trying to hide from me again, are you? Do we need to have another talk?" a candy sweet voice called out from a hallway Madara had been walking towards before being interrupted by him.

Madara's eyes opened in fear, not that he would ever admit that. Her 'talks' were disturbing, he could still feel the rough ropes that bound him to the chair. He shivered unconsciously before responding to the she-devil. "I am just grabbing chips Yami, I'm coming back right now!" Madara called out loudly with a slight shakiness in his voice. He sent a lazy glare at the pest that ruined his plans and scurried out of the room leaving a dumb-struck blond boy and amused goddess.

"What just happened?" Naruto asked dumbly staring off towards the hallway.

"Yami took a great interest in Mada-chan… and she has been training him." The loli-goddess said trying to stifle her laughter.

Naruto sat back down on the couch and nodded dumbly. This other goddess is training the Madara Uchiha like a puppy. If the idea didn't sound so ridiculous, he probably would have burst out laughing at the thought. Shaking his head to clear away his thoughts, he looked over to the smiling girl beside him. "I guess we should continue where we left off?" Naruto asked trying to ignore the previous scene.

"Indeed." She said agreeing with her fellow blond. She turned back to the television and clicked the remote. The screen changed from black to a strange scene.

Naruto Uzumaki stood dumbfounded in front of the shinobi and civilian council. He is still wearing his newly patched up bright orange jumpsuit with bandages across his face and arms. His sapphire blue eyes are filled with so much disbelief at what he is hearing. 'They couldn't do this just for completing the mission I was assigned right?!' he thought wildly.

"…and that's why from this point on, you shall be exiled from the village and not allowed to return, or you shall face execution. You will not be allowed in any of our ally's territory or you will be detained and face execution. Your chakra will be sealed so you can't harm any of our allies." An old councilor woman stated coldly, sneering at the blond in front of her.

Exiled from the village.

Execution for returning.

Chakra will be sealed.

Naruto stared at the screen in disbelief. 'I got exiled from the village for completing my mission objective!? I know the villagers hated me, but they never went this far…' he thought sadly. He couldn't believe something like this is happening to his counterpart. He wondered though, 'What mission caused this?'

The current hokage is currently shaking in visible anger as she listened to her advisors and council rattle on. "Do you honestly believe I'm going to allow you to exile one of our most loyal shinobi just because he completed his mission!?" the Godaime hokage shouted in anger.

An elderly man wrapped in bandage with one eye visible decided to comment on that. "You're too emotional entwined with the culprit and couldn't trust you to do what is right for the village. We went to the daimyo, and he agreed with our choice. You've been overruled Tsunade-san." The old war hawk smirked internally watching the hokage glower with anger.

"I don't understand what the pup did wrong, he brought back a traitor that almost got my son killed!" a member of the shinobi council snarled out.

"Troublesome, I agree. Uzumaki-san has done nothing wrong to warrant such an action." An older pineapple haired shinobi council member commented lazily.

"What you're doing to this child is cruel." A big-boned member of the shinobi council commented with his arms crossed.

"It's nice to know you have some people that at least decided to stick up for you." Kami said idly as she continued to watch the scene unfold in front of her. Though she did see Naruto from the corner of her eye, he looked disappointed.

"They're talking about Sasuke's retrieval mission… I think." Naruto said absently as he stared at the council on the screen. He failed to bring Sasuke back and ended up in the hospital for a while before being allowed back on active duty. If he had succeeded, would they really have used that as an excuse to banish him?

"Why?" Naruto said lowly, almost a whisper. His hair shadowed his eyes as he stared at the ground. He is confused, disappointed, angry, and hurt. His emotions are going haywire with everything he heard.

"What did you say? Speak up boy." A merchant on the civilian council demanded.

"Why are you banishing me for bringing back Sasuke? I did everything to bring him back, so why?" Naruto said shakily, his entire stature trembled with unknown emotions.

"Brought him back!? You might as well have brought him back in a body bag your damn demon!" an elderly woman on the civilian council shouted angry.

That is all Naruto needed to hear to understand the true reason behind his exile, his unjust banishment. It wasn't because he brought Sasuke back barely holding onto life. It is all because he held the Kyuubi, the demon kitsune that garnished so much hatred before being sealed inside him. "So that's why you're doing this…" he voiced his thoughts lowly.

The council room quieted and stared at the blond child. He stopped trembling and looked up at them with a blank expression, his eyes a dull cold blue. Everyone had to suppress the shiver his tundra cold eyes sent out.

"It's not because of Sasuke, it's because the Kyuubi. Something I have no control over…" he said with a sharp edge.

"That is just another reason to get you out of the village. With this criminal organization after you, it's safer for the village if you're not here." The war hawk said coldly. Internally, he is pleased with this outcome. If he can't control the weapon, he'll get a rid of it.

"So, if I didn't have the Kyuubi sealed inside me, I wouldn't be banished?" Naruto said sharply, though his eyes have an unusual glint in them. He has a terrible idea, but he could care less with the outcome anymore. If the village wanted to abandon him, he would fix their mistake.

"I believe you're about to do something stupid." The loli-goddess commented looking over to the blond next to her. He has a look of concentration, like he is trying to figure out his others plan.

His eyes widened in shock. "I think I know what I'm about to do…" Naruto said with a gasp. If his other is about to do what he thinks, then pray to Kami that she watches over everyone's poor soul.

Kami's eyes narrowed, but then turned back to the television to see what is about to happen. Naruto decided not to elaborate, so she would just have to watch to figure out. It is most likely stupid though…

Naruto closed his eyes, then reopened them in front of a mighty steel gate with a sealing tag stuck in the center. Behind the gate is endless darkness and one lone eye the size of Naruto himself. It's crimson slitted eye stared back into the icy cold blue eyes. "Kyuubi, how would you like your freedom?" Naruto asked.

"Oh? Did the village hurt your feelings so bad that you want me to crush them for you? Or perhaps you hope that if I'm not sealed inside you anymore, they will let you stay?" the Kyuubi patronized the blond boy in front of it.

Naruto decided to ignore the taunts and continue his proposition. "You're the most powerful existence in the world, you don't deserve to be trapped behind a cage. However, it's always been my duty to keep you locked up to protect the villagers from your wrath. Humanity is cruel, and I wonder to myself, 'Why do I protect humans when they don't even see me as a human?'." Naruto stated garnishing the full attention of the nine-tailed kitsune.

Naruto seeing that he has the full attention of the fox continued, "If I free you, could you take me with you? If I die in the process, could you take my body and bury it somewhere nice? I imagine the villagers will not give me the same courtesy." He said calmly.

The Kyuubi stared at the blond-haired boy for a few minutes thinking over his words. Freedom is right in his grasp, and all the boy wanted is to be buried somewhere nice? The kitsune could easily do that but taking the child with him and raising it in his image sounded interesting as well. 'What would you do father?' the kitsune thought.

A few more minutes passed pondering before he decided. "I accept your offer human, I will take you with me. Your body will be weak though when you free me and will experience pain like nothing before." The Kyuubi stated with narrowed eyes.

"I understand Kyuubi." Naruto said, "When I release the seal, could you wait and let me speak once more with the council?" he asked politely. The idea of Naruto asking politely would have worried anyone, and instantly assume he planned a prank like no other.

"Fine but be quick." The Kyuubi barked out.

Kami stared at Naruto in surprise. She didn't expect Naruto to free the Kyuubi on his own people, but it appears this Naruto lost hope in humanity. Such a shame to see such a pure soul shatter like that.

Naruto walked over to the gate and put his hand on the large gate. The water below him raised him up to the seal above him, and he slowly reached his hand out to the seal. There is no going back from this once he did it. Steeling his resolve, the grasped the paper and pulled hard.

"Ah, I remember this part. Happened completely differently, but here comes my father." Naruto said with a hint of excitement at seeing his dad again.

Naruto's hand stopped abruptly as a man that looked very much like him grabbed his hand. He pushed him backwards into the water and jumped down in front of him. "What the hell!?" Naruto said in shock.

"Kyuubi, I don't know what you did to my son to make him want to free you, but I won't allow it." The new man said coldly, leveling his glare at the kitsune trapped behind the steel gate.

The Kyuubi snarled at the man, before snorting. "Yondaime, I didn't trick the boy at all. He came to me on his own free will to release me." The kitsune said condescendingly.

The Yondaime's eyes narrowed at that statement and turned around to stare at the blond boy laying in the water staring at him. "Is that true Naruto?" he asked seriously.

"H-How do you know my name?" Naruto asked in shock. His hero stood in front of him, and somehow knew his name.

"He said you are his son earlier, shouldn't be that shocking." Kami said, rolling her eyes.

"I was kind of shocked, and my hero was standing in front of me. Forgive me for not hearing the word son." Naruto responded dryly.

"That's cause you're my precious son, Naruto." The taller blond man said in a sweet and sincere tone.

"Wait for it…" Naruto said with mirth, his eyes dancing in amusement. The man sealed his fate – pun not intended – when he mentioned he is his father.

His son got up and walked over to the him. He opened his arms up expecting a warm father-son hug. He sadly, much to his displeasure, received a very powerful punch to the gut that he folded in to.

Naruto broke out into laughter seeing his father get sucker punched in the gut again. What did the man expect, he sealed the Kyuubi inside of him forcing him to suffer at the hands of the villagers for his entire childhood? Apparently, he expected instant forgiveness and love.

Kami herself started to chuckle at the man as he got punched in the stomach. From what she could tell, Naruto is most definitely a momma's boy. Never in any of the futures she has seen where Kushina and Naruto meet for the first time has she been punched in the gut. She is always welcomed with that warm heartfelt hug that Minato desired. Poor, poor Minato.

Naruto's father fell backwards and coughed, "I deserve that…" He said with a chuckle.

"Why?" he said lowly, shaking silently before glaring at his father, "Why did you seal the Kyuubi inside of me! My life has been hell because of you! The villagers treat me like a monster. Shops won't let me buy anything unless it's overcharged to the point where I can't even afford it! I was sabotaged throughout my entire time in the academy! Everyone ignored me when I begged for help! It's all your fault!" Naruto shouted at the man, tears sliding down his whiskered cheeks.

"I did it to protect the village and because I knew you could handle the burden. The village was supposed to see you as a hero, not a monster." The Yondaime said sadly. "Why are you trying to free the Kyuubi?" He asked carefully.

He chuckled darkly at the thought of him being treated like a hero. "The village is banishing me because I hold the Kyuubi. They plan on sealing away my chakra and throwing me to the wolves." He said with a glare.

Minato, the fourth hokage stared at his son in shock. His dying wish to see his son as a hero was ignored blatantly, and worse they are banishing him from the village for something he has no control over? He could tell his body was rolling in his grave at this moment. At least he understood why he is going to release the Kyuubi on those ungrateful bastards. "I-I understand." Minato said with a slight stutter. The village didn't deserve his protection.

"The Kyuubi has promised to take me with him, or at least bury me somewhere nice." Naruto said to his father before he thought of something. Looking back towards the Kyuubi, "Could you spare my precious people, you know who they are." Naruto asked kindly, bowing his head towards the massive beast.

"The current hokage and her apprentice, that teacher from the academy, and the ramen family, correct?" The Kyuubi asked receiving a nod, "Fine, I will attempt to not squish them." the kitsune said seriously.

"Naruto, I want you to know. No matter what, I'm always proud of you and love you greatly. My time here is up, I'll miss you son." The Yondaime said lovingly before vanishing out of existence leaving Naruto and the Kyuubi alone.

"I didn't expect him to allow me to do this, and I'm happy he loves me even after my decision." Naruto said happily, a few tears gathering in his eyes at he stared at the screen. He truly has an amazing father.

Naruto went through the same process and ripped the seal off the gate freeing the Kyuubi. The Kyuubi did as promised and sat patiently in the dark staring at the blond. Naruto bowed once more before disappearing from the seal and back into the real world. While for him, he had been in there for almost an hour, only a few seconds had passed for him.

He looked over to the current hokage who stared at him with worry. "Baa-chan, thank you for trying." He said before looking towards the council who sat staring or mostly glaring at him. "Then I shall no longer hold the Kyuubi. If me holding it has caused me so many problems, then I refuse to hold it any longer." Naruto stated coldly causing the room the tense up.

"What do you mean Naruto?" Tsunade asked Naruto with wide eyes.

"I mean, I just freed the Kyuubi from the seal." He stated to the council, "Sorry Baa-chan, might want to find cover." Naruto said sadly. Just as he finished saying that, a red aura started flooding out of Naruto. Unlike how it usually covers his body this fell to the floor like a mist. The heavy feeling of malice filled the air causing everyone to freeze in place and stare at the event happening in front of them.

The next moment, sounds of fight and shouting filled Naruto's ears. However, the blond is in far too much pain to pay attention. He collapsed, but instead of falling on to the cold council floor, he landed on the softest patch of fur. His eyes drifted into darkness as unconsciousness took over.

The village hidden in the leaves lost a lot of shinobi that day, and most of the village was destroyed once more. The Kyuubi vanished from the face of the elemental nations and Naruto's body was never found or recovered.

"I wonder if I died, or the Kurama kept me alive." Naruto wondered out loud.

"I bet you're still alive, the Kyuubi took interest in raising you in his image after all." Kami voiced her opinion.

"I bet this put a dent in the Akatsuki's plan!" He chuckled at the thought of them searching for him but never finding him. They would never have expected him to release the nine-tails.

Kami couldn't help but agree with that statement. From the sounds of it, Kurama took Naruto out of the elemental nations all together. She shook her head in amusement. "What did you think?" the blond loli asked.

Naruto thought over her question for a moment. "I'm shocked that they would banish me for retrieving Sasuke, and while I'm disappointed in my counterpart's decision… I can't fault him for it." He said seriously.

"I see… are you ready for the next scene then?" She asked her fellow blond.

"Ready as I'll ever be!" Naruto said giving her a thumbs up.
