Chapter 3: Exile

'This is not good!' Naruto thought. A rock collided with his head after that thought.

"DEMON!" screamed one of the angry villagers. "GO AWAY!"

"YEAH!" Others agreed with him.

Naruto took another step back as the villagers began to advance on him. More rocks were being thrown at him but some of the elderly and young villagers. The adults went on to more, destructive weapons, such as farming tools and knifes. Naruto looked over to his friends for help.

"Guys?" he asked. His eyes stung as he tried to hold back his tears when they just stared back him with looks of disbelief, horror, and pity. Naruto's constricted, and air was hard pressed to get into his lungs. Some of their parents began to usher them away from the seen. Hinata's father, Hiashi, came and pulled her and Neji away. Next Ino was pulled away by her mom. It hurt so much more considering that none of them fought to stay by his side. None of them cared.

'I'm just a demon to them. They won't help me. They- they left.'

"DEMON BE GONE!" More of the villagers began to shout. Naruto dropped his head in defeat. He couldn't hold back the tears now. They slowly slid down his face, one by one.

He took one step back, and then another, before he turned and sprinted through the village toward his home.

"GET HIM!" he heard the shout of the villagers as they began to chase after him. Lucky for him, they were just the townspeople, so that gave him an advantage cause of his ninja speed. But, it was only a matter of time before ninja's that had a grudge against the Kyuubi would join in.

He sprinted with all of his might toward his small apartment. When it loomed into view up ahead, he put on an extra burst of speed to reach it. Not even bothering with the door, he crashed trough the window, raining glass all over the floor. After gaining his footing again, he ran into his bedroom and began to pack all of his little belongings.

'I-I can't believe they just abandoned me like that. My friends.' Throwing a black duffel bag on the bed he threw in all of his black tee-shirts and orange jumpsuits in the bag. Then he threw in some of his toiletries and his other pair of ninja sandals. The shouts of the villagers began to reach his hears now. More tears began to slide down his face now.

Let's go Kit The Kyuubi's voice whispered in his head. For once, he didn't sound evil, he sounded, sympathetic.

'Right, just one thing first.' Naruto reached up and untied his village leaf headband from his forehead and placed it on the table, opposite from the door.

Naruto turned and looked at his ramshackle apartment once more before he took off into the dead of the night. Leaving all of his hopes and dreams, behind.

-------------------------------------------Hokage's Office---------------------------------------------

Iruka and Tsunade were discussing certain matters about the academy and how they would be able to improve test scores and the amount of participating students, when Shikamaru and Choji came busting into the office. They were then followed by Kiba, Shino, Ten Ten, and Lee.

"Hokage-sama," they all exclaimed in unison, "Its Naruto!"

"What," she asked, "What is going on here?" asked Tsunade.

"Naruto-huff- villagers- huff- riot- huff- Kyuubi-huff." Kiba panted. Although those words were slightly vague, a combination of those words could only mean trouble.

"Slow down Kiba. Someone tell me exactly what is going on."

Ten Ten stepped forward and began to tell the Hokage what had just transpired only moments before. By the end of it, Tsunade and Iruka's eyes were wide in terror.

"NARUTO!" They exclaimed, and rushed out the door towards his apartment.

--------------------------------Back with Naruto ------------------------------------------------------

His lungs were burning at the speed he was running. He wouldn't stop, not even for a decent breath of air. The tears wouldn't stop flowing, no matter how hard he tried.

Kit, slow down and catch your breath.

After Naruto heard Kyuubi's voice, anger swelled inside of him.

'YOU! THIS IS ALL OF YOUR FAULT! I WOULD STILL HAVE A FAMILY AND A VILLAGE IF IT WASN'T FOR YOU! I WISH THEY WOULD HAVE JUST KILLED YOU!'

Kit, I-

'NO! JUST SHUT UP AND LEAVE ME ALONE! FOREVER!'

………

The Kyuubi was silent after that. Naruto felt the Kyuubi's chakra recede from his body and for once, Naruto couldn't feel any presence of the fox demon. He began to slow down. His legs hurt, his lips were parched, his throat burned, and his eyes stung. He finally stopped running when he reached the top of a large hill. He turned and he looked back towards Konoha.

"Goodbye." He whispered, letting the wing carry his words back to the Village hidden in the leaves. Then he headed off back into the forest.

-------------------------------------------The Hospital-------------------------------------------------

Sakura was the first person to regain consciousness since she obtained the least amount of damage. Her eyes slowly blinked open and her first sight was a pure white ceiling looming overhead. She tried to sit up but pain shot through her body.

"Oh deary! You shouldn't try to sit up yet. You have 7 broken ribs, and some internal bleeding." A elderly nurse said while walking into the room. "You're lucky that the ANBU saved you and your teammates from that monster. You're lucky that you're alive."

"Monster? What are you talking about?"

"Oh no! You're delusional!" exclaimed the nurse.

"Wha- no I'm not! I got attacked by some Rock village ninja on a mission." Sakura told the nurse.

"But the demo-"

"Uhhh," groaned Sasuke. He slowly sat up, wincing as he did so. "What happened?"

"Well you were-"

"Nurse Siriyu report to operating room 2, repeat, Nurse Siriyu report to operating room 2. Thank you." A voice over the intercom said.

"Oh well, I'll leave you two alone for now. Tootles." The Nurse said as she scurried out of the room to complete her task.

"Tootles? Who says that now?" asked Sakura.

"No clue." Sasuke replied back. A hint of a grimace in his voice from the pain.

"Sasuke?"

"Hmm?"

"What happened after I was knocked out?"

Sasuke thought about that question for a little bit before he answered. "I'm not to sure. After you were knocked out, I fought one of the Jounin while the other attacked Naruto, but then I lost consciousness. I'm not sure what happened after that.'

"Oh…..Where is Kakashi-sensei?"

"I don't know." He said back.

Another nurse was walking by the room and Sakura ushered her in.

"Excuse me? Could you please tell me where Kakashi-sensei is?" Sakura inquired softly, a hint of worry entering her voice.

"Oh Kakashi? I believe he is in surgery right now. But, you two should lie back down. The Medic nin's will be in in a minute."

"Ok." They replied unanimously.

--------------------------------------With Tsunade and Iruka-----------------------------------------

Tsunade and Iruka rushed through the town as fast as they could. They could see smoke rising up from the next street over. The street where Naruto lives. They jumped up over the roofs in their way and what they saw shocked them.

Flames were poring out of the windows of Naruto's apartment. And more flames were being added by the villagers.

"NARUTO!" screamed Tsunade. She began to perform several hand seals and then a water dragon appeared out of no where and doused the flames. The villagers halted in their tracks at the sign of Tsunade.

Tsunade and Iruka jumped through the window of Naruto's apartment and began to search frantically. She ran into his charred bedroom and started to look through his closet.

"Iruka! His clothes are gone!"

"Tsunade…" Iruka whispered solemnly.

"What is it?" she asked while coming back out of his bedroom. Iruka was standing with his back facing hers and he was holding something in his hands.

"Iruka?"

"He's gone Tsunade-sama. He left."

"How do you kn- HUH!" Iruka had turned around and in his hands was Naruto's leaf headband. The blue fabric had burnt holes in it and the polished protector was black in some places with scratches covering it. Tsunade walked over to Iruka with tears in her eyes and slowly took the headband from his hands. She stared at it for several moments, before she tilted her head foreword and having her hair covering her eyes.

"Tsunade-sama?" questioned Iruka.

Tsunade's shoulder's started to shake and then crystal like tears began to slide down her face. Iruka had to catch her when her knees gave out. He slowly lowered her to the floor while she cried in his arms.

"Naruto…Naruto…...NARUTO!" She screamed out in anguish.
