Chapter one: Setbacks
Naruto was running from tree to tree to catch a certain raven haired uchiha. Sasuke Uchiha deserted the village on the quest to gain power fast. "Sasuke, why are you leaving?!" Naruto shouted.
"This village is slowing me down, at the rate I'm growing, I'll never be able to kill my brother!" Sasuke shouted as the two reached the valley of the end. Sasuke landed on Uchiha Madara's head and Naruto landed on Hashirama's.
"I will bring you back Sasuke, '' I promised Sakura." Naruto said, clenching his fist. "Hn, still fawning over me when I don't want it." Sasuke narrowed his eyes. "You're too weak to stop me Naruto."
"Sasuke, I don't want to fight you, you're the first bond I've ever made." Naruto shouted. Naruto's message got to Sasuke but it didn't matter. "Naruto, I feel the same as you, but I need to avenge my clan. You wouldn't, no you couldn't understand." Sasuke started.
"I had a family, I had a clan till it was taken from me. You had no one from the beginning, that's why I felt a connection with you." Naruto gritted his teeth. "Seems like I can't talk you out of it eh, teme?" Naruto gave a sad smile. "Yeah, my mind is made up, dobe." Sasuke replied.
The two shinobi jumped off their respective rock heads and started to clash.
Naruto sent a ferocious kick to Sasuke, which he parried with a right hook. Naruto blocked with his forearm and the two separated.
"Katon: gokakyuu no jutsu!" Sasuke screamed before a massive fireball was hurled towards his friend. Naruto jumped out of the way but was met with a fist to the gut. Sasuke followed this with a flurry of strikes to the torso and head.
Sasuke then made three hand signs. All that was heard was the sound of a thousand birds.
Sasuke held Naruto by the neck and said "Chidori." But in the last second Naruto kicked Sasuke's forearm, throwing his aim off and he managed to get free.
"Seems you're better than I thought, dobe." Sasuke said. "This Isn't personal Naruto, I'd rather us not fight at all, but that doesn't mean I won't do what is necessary." Sasuke said before running towards the blonde boy.
"Heh, you just don't learn, do you, teme?" Naruto chuckled before exploding in a red aura. 'What is this chakra?!' Sasuke shouted in his mind. Naruto then got on all fours and started to grow a tail.
"I won't let you go to the Orochimaru teme… EVEN IF I HAVE TO BREAK EVERY BONE IN YOUR BODY!" Naruto finished with a yell. Sasuke was thrown back by the sheer force of the scream.
Sasuke, wasting no more time, activated his curse mark stage two. 'Damn it.' Naruto thought. Without any more thoughts after that Naruto made a vermillion Rasengan and Sasuke charged up an onyx chidori. The two boys lunged at each other and were about to hit.
"Argh!" Naruto yelled and winced at the pain coming from his forearm. Sasuke capitalized on this and aimed for his weakened side. Naruto froze at the look on Sasuke's face, it was full of insanity, pain, confusion, and rage. Naruto could only think it was towards himself than it was at him.
"ARGHHHHHHHHHH!" Naruto felt Sasuke's chidori rip Naruto's arm off. Naruto's arm fell down onto the water, and floated towards the shore. "S-Sasuke…" Naruto said before coughing up blood. Sasuke's eyes went wide at what he's done. "I'm sorry, Naruto." Sasuke pulled his arm away from Naruto as he fell on his back. "Teme cough heh, it seems you cough, it seems you are stronger than me."
Naruto's eyes soon closed and his breath began to slow. Sasuke ran off with tears in his eyes and a flower pattern in both of his eyes. Kakashi arrived a minute later and what he found horrified him.
"Naruto!" Kakashi jumped down and checked his pulse, it was weak. "Damn it I was late again, Paakun!" Kakashi yelled. "What is it Kaka- Understood." Paakun soon ran off to the leaf village. Kakashi picked up Naruto and ran as fast as he could back to the village.
Sakura, Hinata, Tsunade and all the others were waiting there patiently until they say a gray and yellow blur pass them. "Tsunade-sama!" Kakashi yelled. "What is it?" Tsunade asked before seeing who Kakashi was holding. "Naruto!" Tsunade yelled, before running with Kakashi.
The two arrived at the hospital and Tsunade busted the door. "I need the ICU room, NOW!" Tsunade demanded. "Hai!" The nurse said. Sakura and Hinata soon came in and Sakura asked Kakashi. "What is going on?" The look on his eye showed how serious the situation was.
"Naruto chased after Sasuke, and from what I could tell from the battle Sasuke used the chidori and…" Kakashi looked down. "W-What h-happened?" Hinata asked, worry in her voice evident. "Sasuke used the chidori to rip his right arm off, along with his right eye." The two girls shouted in horror at what happened with the blonde.
Three hours later, Naruto was finally out of surgery. Tsunade, tired from chakra use, walked out. "What's his condition?" Kakashi asked. Tsunade let out a sigh. "He can't continue as a ninja with his injuries." Tsunade's voice was cracking. "His arm can be attached but he won't be able to use chakra in it ever again, his eye is another story." Everyone looked at her with saddened eyes. "For some reason Naruto's eye has Sasuke's chakra embedded in it, along with his dna." Tsunade explained. "That's impossible!" Kakashi proclaimed. "Believe it, Naruto will need to make a full recovery but I don't know how he's going to react to the news." Tsunade sighed before slumping in her seat.
Right after the last comment, an Anbu appeared. "Hokage-sama, the council has called for a meeting and requests Kakashi-san to accompany you." Tsunade groaned and got up. "All right, tell them I'll be right there, thank you cat." Tsunade said.
Tsunade walked in with Kakashi and was welcomed with a tense silence. "Huh, this is new." Tsunade joked. "Hokage-sama, what is the news on the Uchiha-sama retrieval mission?" A council member asked.
Tsunade sat down and put her hands together, interlocking her fingers. "It was a failure." She announced. "Kakashi, give your statement." She ordered.
"Hai, Hokage-sama." Kakashi stood straight. "From what I could piece together Naruto left Lee to fight one of the sound four along with Gaara who joined him. After finding Sasuke he chased him all the way to the valley of the end. When I arrived, I found what seemed like a hard but quick battle, one Naruto was not prepared for." Kakashi put his head down.
"The demon gaki was no match for Uchiha-sama, of course he was unprepared." Mebuki Haruno said. "Haruno-san be aware your daughter is on my squad, I could make her life a living hell full of training, and seeing what her teammates have done to each other, she would gladly accept it." Kakashi growled.
"Bite your tongue Hatake." Mebuki growled. "Focus!" Tsunade interjected. "Kakashi please continue." Kakashi followed up. "When I saw the condition Naruto was in, I rushed back so he could receive medical treatment."
"Why didn't you go after Uchiha-sama? That was the mission, not save the Kyuubi jinjuriki." Danzo announced. "Danzo-sama, Sasuke left on his own volition." Kakashi said. "Preposterous, he was influenced by the curse seal." Said another council member. "So what of the Kyuubi brat?" Asked Mebuki. "He must be punished for failing the mission." Said another.
"On what authority?" Tsunade barked. "The authority of the council." Mebuki replied. "I will not allo-." "Hokage-sama, This is not something you can fight." Danzo cut in. "We shall put it to a vote, all in favor of the banishment of Uzumaki Naruto?" Danzo pronounced. All civilians and two shinobi council members raised their hands.
"This is so troublesome, you all are idiots." Shukaku said. "Shut it Naru-san." Barked Mebuki. "Uzumaki Naruto is hereby banished from the hidden leaf, He must leave once he is fully healed from his injuries, he has three days." Danzo spoke. "That's not nearly enough time!" Tsunade shouted.
"Why so?" Asked Danzo. "Because Uchiha used an S-class assasination technique and ripped Naruto's arm off and caused him to have chakra coil damage!" Tsunade screamed. "That doesn't matter." Said Danzo. "Shinobi have given up more and still fought for the good of Konoha in that condition." Danzo finished.
Hinata and Sakura were sitting next to Naruto's bed when they felt him move. "Naruto-kun?" Sakura asked loud enough for the nurse to hear. "Hnnnn." Naruto mumbled with pain. "Wh-what happened to me? Sakura-chan?" Naruto tried to grab Sakura's hand but realized he couldn't feel his right arm.
Looking over he saw the blanket was deflated when it should show where it should be. Panicking, Naruto pulled the blanket off of him and he saw in horror what happened. "My… arm." Naruto said with tears running down his face. "Oh Naruto-kun!" Sakura hugged Naruto ask Naruto began to sob into her neck.
"How could he do this to Naruto-kun?" She began to cry with the boy as Hinata shed tears of her own. The door opened to reveal Tsunade. "Baa-chan?!" Naruto shouted. "Can you fix this?!" He asked in a hurried tone. "I'm sorry Naruto-kun, but there is something I need to tell you." Tsunade said, trying to not tear up at the boy.
"Baa-chan, you're scaring me, just go out and say it." Tsunade took a deep breath and looked at him with a sad look. "The council has deemed you expendable and is banishing you." Silence took over for a few moments till Naruto chuckled. "Come one Baa-chan, the pain may be getting to my head but I could've sworn you said I was kicked out." Naruto's hair covered his eyes as he looked down. "You heard right, Naruto." Tsunade said before hearing Naruto.
"After all I did for them…" Naruto started before growling. "After all I sacrificed…" Naruto yelled with some chakra exploding unintentionally. "THIS VILLAGE STILL DAMNED ME!" Naruto yelled with tears flowing out of his eyes before he felt himself being enveloped in a hug by the older woman. "Naruto, I'm sorry, the only reason I came was because of you and now they treat you like this." Tsunade said.
Naruto hugged the woman back as he fell asleep while holding onto Tsunade like a vice. "He fell asleep, must've been too much to handle." Sakura said while putting a hand on Hinata's shoulder, who was crying for her crush.
Three days later Naruto was walking towards the Konoha main gate. Naruto found all his friends and comrades waiting for him. Naruto sighed and walked over to them, bag on his back. "Hey guys, what's up here to send a last goodbye to the fu-" Naruto stopped. "To say goodbye to me?" Naruto finished in a deflated tone.
"Naruto." Tsunade said sadly. The moment was interrupted when an old war hawk came close. "Uzumaki, you are banished, will you leave this village peacefully. Otherwise you will be killed for breaking the law." Naruto growled until Tsunade stepped forward. "You bastard, If you touch a hair on his head then you will never see the light of day again." Danzo narrowed his eye and walked away.
"Baa-chan." Naruto looked at his surrogate mother. "Naruto, before you go I want to give you something but we should talk in private." Tsunade pointed away from everyone. "Okay Baa-chan," Naruto said, walking with her.
"So what did you want to gi-" Naruto stopped as Tsunade hugged Naruto tightly. "You baka, be careful okay." Tsunade teared up. "What's wrong, Baa-chan?" Naruto was about to get his answer. "Heh, that's the most fitting name you can give me Naruto." Tsunade chuckled. "What do you mean?"
"Naruto, Sarutobi sensei told me if this were to ever happen or once you made chunin, you should know who your parents are." Tsunade said as she cupped Naruto's cheek. "But Jiji didn't know who they were, he told me himself." Naruto exclaimed. "Why do you think he said that? He didn't want it to go to your head and have the chance of you becoming a snob, gaki." She said before bonking him on the head.
"Wait, you know who they are then?!" Naruto asked, almost screaming it. "Yeah, but first take this scroll, it has their bank accounts and land documents, go to the fire lord and give him the red scroll." Tsunade explained. "Now then about your parents.
Naruto was on his tiptoes with excitement. "Your mother's name is Kushina Uzumaki, that's where you got you last name because your fathers enemies would try to kill you." Naruto asked. "Who was he then?"
"Minato Namikaze, the Yondaime Hokage."
"EHHHHHHH?!" Naruto screeched. Naruto then went silent. He started shaking. "Did you know him?" Naruto asked simply. "Of course I knew him, he was my son." Tsunade said. "At least that's what the dna test said a few years ago." Naruto began to raise his only arm.
Slap
Everyone stood there in shock when Naruto slapped Tsunade across the face. "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW THEY TREATED ME BAA-CHAN?! I WAS BEATEN, RAPED, ROBBED!" Naruto screamed. "AND WHERE WERE YOU?! YOU WERE GETTING DRUNK OFF YOUR ASS!" Naruto fell to his knees and began to cry.
"Hokage-sama?" A chunin asked. She put her hand up to stop him. "Naruto, I had no idea we were family, let alone you being alive." Tsunade then explained what Hiruzen told her.
Flashback
"Where is Minato-kun?! Where is Kushi-chan?!" Tsunade barged into the office after getting the news.
"I'm sorry Tsunade-chan, they passed away from the kyuubi." Hiruzen said. "And Naru-chan? Please tell me Naru-chan is alive." Tsunade pleaded. "I'm sorry Tsunaade-chan, he was killed with his parents." Hiruzen said.
Tsunade couldn't take it anymore, she fell onto her hands and knees and cried harder than she's ever done before. "Dan-kun, please forgive me, I failed our son." She said through sobs.
13 years later
"Tsunade-hime?!"
"Jiraiya?!"
"What are you doing here? And who's the little squirt… Taking another apprentice? See how the last one ended up?" Tsunade said drunkenly.
"Hey Naruto, go out and get an inn for the night." Hearing the name, Tsunade looked up and had a scowl until she saw his eye. "Minato-kun." She whispered.
"Tsunade…" "Who is the boy and why does he have my dead grandson's name? Answer me now jiraiya." Tsunade answered with a dangerous tone. "His name is Naruto Uzumaki, Jijuriki of the nine tails." Tsunade slammed her fist on the table. "Where do you get off from making this up?!" She barked.
"Oi why are you so pissed baa-chan? We've been looking for you for weeks, this is gonna be our godaime hokage?" Naruto asked. "Who. Are. You. Gaki?" Naruto, not understanding what's going on, proceeded to say. "Uzumaki Naruto, the future hokage, Dattebayo!" Naruto gave a foxy grin.
'Minato-kun, Kushi-chan… your son… he's alive." Her face showed absolute shock.
Flashback end
"Jiji faked my death? Why?" Naruto asked, still in shock. "Your guess is as good as mine." She responded. "Well Obaa-chan, take care of the village for me, okay?" Naruto said as he hugged his surrogate mother, now blood related grandmother "Naruto, please take care of yourself and know we all are there to support you." Iruka said. "Thank you Iruka-sensei, I'll train my butt off to prove myself to this village." Naruto said. "Just prove it to yourself, not for this forsaken village." Tsunade said, patting his head.
Naruto nodded and went on to say his goodbyes. Naruto then came to Hinata, when he was about to say something, Hinata smashed her lips on his. This action shocked everyone, especially Hiashi and Naruto. After she broke the kiss she said "I love you Naruto, I hope we see each other again." She buried her face in Neji's shoulder.
"Hinata.." Naruto commented.
Naruto then walked away from the village, ready for his new life and the adventure that awaits him.
