This Naruto idea is a kind of sad one... one I thought about after seeing an episode of Criminal Mind featuring an Women with a severe case of Stockholm Syndrome from her husbands rampant abuse... I know alot about Domestic violence and why it is so hard to leave and could not help but think of Naruto and Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. Dog fighting also kind of played a part in my thinking...
This Story will feature more then just Jutsu and fight scenes... it will be about the mind, healing and Naruto's growth as a person. I rarely say this, but This story could be big...even if I Start but don't finish it, I will leave it up to be adopted. ::::
" Just another mile..." Naruto, dressed in a grey Hoodie and Black ANBU Pants, mumbled as he hustlted towards his target. " Almost there..." He was so close, so close to freedom... to a chance to be more then the Villages Monkey. He could pratically taste it... " I hope there is food there... " He hadn't had time to pack anything, splitting from Jiriaya was a split second decision after all. Not an ounce of real planning went into this, but it was still the best idea he had ever had... or so he hoped.
It had all started about a Month ago, when he woke up in the Hospital after failing to bring Sasuke home. His Mind had raced, his guilt waging within at his failure. He was miserable for hours when the adrenaline finally left and he had one emotion, Fear. Not towards his failure but to the idea that Maybe, just maybe Sasuke had been right to leave. Naruto wasn't stupid, no matter how he pretended to be in an effort to get people to like him, he knew that Sasuke had been miserable since his family died. He saw that same misery in his own eyes, and felt it spike when he heard Sasuke rant about it during their battle. Most of Naruto's own anger hadn't been about his disagreeing with Sasuke, but instead the anger that he too felt that and hated himself for it. The Old man had done so much for him, reassuring him that he would one day be respected and loved... that he could become Hokage one day. Leaving felt like a betrayal, but in that moment he felt like he had to. It was ten times worse then Adrenaline, it was pure panic and instinct. He didn't even really start to give it thought until he was already sixty miles away from the hotel Jiraiya had left him in. Part of Naruto knew that he would get caught so he had left a Clone with most of his chakra there hoping it would last long enough for him to get away safely...
In his borderline feral state, he went to the only safe place he knew of... Orochimaru's base. The One Sasuke had gone to, the one he had sent a clone to find after he pretended Sasuke Knocked him out. He had wanted to see if his freind got what he sacrificed to achieve...
He knew that they were gone from the base, he sent a clone to watch the place daily, scopping out the area as much as he could. He didn't know what he planned on doing there but he knew that the place had antisummoning seals in it. It was how he kept his few Summoner Experiments from being reversed Summoned to the base of their Summons, he had heard Orochimaru explain as Much to Sasuke when he questioned the chances of a Leaf Ninja Finding them. Those Seals would ensure that he was safe from Jiriaya, at least long enough to really think about his life and choices.
" Finnally..." Naruto practically moaned out as he rushed into the Base, silently hurrying to the nearest Showers. Mud and blood rused off of his body, easing his pain and worry but increasing his panic. A Panic attack slammed into his chest with the force of an angry Tsunade, making him sob and freak out for at least an Hour. He wasn't entirely sure...
