Here's chapter four folks. I thank everyone who reviewed my last chapters. You guys rock. I am really glad you like my story.

And I don't own Naruto

NECESSARY EVIL

CHAPTER 4

Naruto sat in the small restaurant idly sipping his black coffee.

The restaurant was owned by a man who had been a part of the mob that had beaten Naruto when he was younger more than once. Now Naruto was sitting there enjoying watching the man fidgeting before him. News was yet to leak out about Naruto's decision at the council chamber to leave Konoha; so even now the civilians were trying their hardest to get into the blonde's favor so that he would stay in Konoha.

Naruto hummed inaudibly, the coffee was okay, but it paled in comparison to the one Kyoshiro made or even the one Akira made.

"Anything else, sir?" The young woman in a maid costume asked with a sultry smile and bend to show more than necessary cleavage.

Naruto simply stared at the woman, a stare which unnerved her. The woman fidgeted under his gaze and his glare intensified. The woman took a step back in fright wondering if he would attack her. Add some concentrated KI to the mix and the woman ran for the hill, causing Naruto to chuckle amused.

His guards were astonished at his actions; although they perfectly understood his reasons for hating every single Konoha inhabitant, but this was the first time they or anyone in the demon country had seen this almost sadistic side of Naruto, because to them Naruto was the kind young lord who always protected them and had a solution to all their problems. They couldn't but shake their heads in amusement as well. Being Naruto's personal bodyguards whenever Naruto left the Demon country, they were close enough to know of Naruto's past and decisions. They knew that Naruto had chosen to forget his revenge on Konoha and move on. But now, Konoha themselves tried to insert back into his life and had ignited the fire that Naruto had vanquished long ago. So now Konoha had made an enemy that is unbeatable.

Naruto stood up with a sigh, his coffee no longer interesting. He could feel an annoying presence approaching, no doubt in order to question him about his words to the council. He thought about going the other way to avoid confrontation, but then again, he had nothing else to do and was bored, so maybe it would be good entertainment.

He took some money out of his wallet and left it on the table.

"Oh, no, no, Naruto san, the coffee is on the house. After all you have returned home after so long." The manager; the very same man who enjoyed beating him when he was younger, said with a smile.

I always amazed Naruto how ignorant humans can be; especially people from Konoha. Maybe the excessive yokai during the Kyubi attack had eroded their brain capacity or something. How did they even expect him to want to stay one moment in this village that was the embodiment of the torture he endured over the years?

"You think I don't remember you?" Naruto asked quietly, making the manager panic. The manager had hoped that the boy had forgotten what he had done.

"I don't know wha-"

Naruto didn't let the stuttering man finish.

"I remember. I remember everything you did. Everything all of you did to me. Keep in mind; I hold no love for this village or anyone in this village. And I don't plan on staying in this disgusting village." Naruto's cold words were clear to everyone in the restaurant and they gaped at the boy's audacity. How dare the demon! After all they had done to make him feel better!

The manager's smile turned into a sneer and he was about to retort very angrily when an angry and distressed Uchiha burst (literally; since he broke down the doors in his hurry) in to the restaurant.

Sasuke Uchiha was very distraught. The Akatsuki was gone. His brother was dead. His revenge was meaningless. All these years worth of hard work (hard work to him that is. After all, all he ever did was copy what he thought was necessary with his cursed eyes)

Wasted. Now he won't even get his brother's eyes; which he needed to be able to use the eternal mangekyo sharingan; all because of the dobe. Well it was not exactly the blonde's fault, even Sasuke knew that. But Sasuke was angry and he needed to vent and Naruto just happened to be available.

The people in the restaurant looked at the Uchiha bewildered and then bowed in respect; entirely dismissing the fact that he just broke the door down; except the manager who trying to figure a way to blame this on the demon so that he could get some money in the name of repercussions.

"Dobe is it true that-"All Sasuke remembered was going to the blond in order to grab him by the neck so that he could get some answers; the next thing he knew, he was getting acquainted with the tiled floor which cracked as his face met with it.

The onlookers was surprised seeing their precious Uchiha get slammed to the ground like an amateur by one of the blonde's bodyguards while the other stood protectively in front of the blond. The others were feeling very grateful that they hadn't attempted the same thing earlier even if they felt like teaching the blond a lesson.

Sasuke glared at the black suited man looking down at him from his black sun glasses. His sharingan flared to life and to his utter surprise it flared out just as quickly. Unknown to him the guard was using a medical technique to cut his chakra flow to his eyes, thus deactivating the sharingan. The guard was yet to let go of the downed Uchiha's neck.

Throughout all this Naruto stood there with an amused smirk.

"Sasuke!" The pink haired banshee entered and screamed seeing the Uchiha on the ground. She was followed by Kakashi and Sai.

"Release him this instant!" Sakura screamed her hands glowing with green chakra, as she got ready to pound the guard who dared harm Sasuke. The guard didn't move. Kakashi stepped forward with his single eye narrowed.

"Release Sasuke at once or you will be arrested for violence against a Konoha shinobi." He said with authority. This meant nothing to the guard.

A soft chuckle cracked the tension that was permeating the restaurant, "Let the Uchiha go, Keiran."

Naruto softly said to the black haired bodyguard. Keiran as the guard was now known released the Uchiha instantly and was by Naruto's side with his red haired counterpart.

Sasuke stood up and glared and turned on his sharingan which activated much to his relief.

"Rey, Keiran we are leaving." Naruto said ignoring the shinobi who were staring at him. Rey; the red haired bodyguard and Keiran; the black haired bodyguard silently followed their leader as he was about to walk out the door, in front of which the shinobi was standing.

As Naruto was about to pass by her, Sakura made to grab his hand; this interpreted by Rey.

Sakura glared at the guard, she used her super strength to try and force the guard to let her go, but she failed miserably. It seems that the red head had a level of chakra control that surpassed even Tsunade and using his chakra perfectly he negated her super strength easily, without it she was not really that strong.

Naruto was still amused, Kakashi could see this and he narrowed his eyes at the blond, Naruto looked at him and smirked.

"Naruto…" Kakashi began, "You have really changed."

Naruto only raised his eyebrow, not really feeling like giving a verbal answer.

"Is it true?"

Naruto looked at the Uchiha who asked the question.

"Is it true that my brother is dead?"

"Your brother? Oh you mean Itachi! You two are so different that I rarely think of him as your brother anymore. And no, he's not dead." Naruto answered casually.

Sasuke's eyes widened.

"But you said that the Akatsuki died extracting the Kyubi from you." Kakashi said remembering what the blond said at the council meeting. The civilians all gasped, the blond no longer had the demon?

"The organization known as Akatsuki is dead." Naruto answered.

"Where is he? Tell me where Itachi is?" Sasuke roared, but he didn't dare attack Naruto again.

Naruto scoffed, "Why should I? I hold no obligations to you or anyone in this pathetic village."

"DOBE!" Sasuke was livid; Oh Naruto was going to pay once he became Sasuke's (According to Sasuke's observations he still had a chance with the blond).

Naruto shook his head exasperated, "We're leaving."

"No!" Sasuke bit out.

Naruto didn't even acknowledge him.

"Fight me." Sasuke said again. Rey and Keiran tensed expecting the Uchiha to attack their lord. Naruto however was bored and wasn't even acknowledging Sasuke.

"Are you scared dobe?" Sasuke taunted hoping for a reaction. He was sorely disappointed when he got none. In his anger his chakra swirled in his palm and the resengan was spinning within his arms.

Naruto who wasn't really interested in thrashing the fool (now anyway, since he had to meet with one of his subordinates), stopped cold when he heard the sound of the familiar jutsu.

"Fine" The quiet answer startled Sasuke and his resengan dissipated, he gave the dobe a smug look.

"Are you angry that I learned one of your strongest techniques, dobe?" Sasuke smirked.

"Oh more that you can imagine, Uchiha. More that you can imagine." Naruto whispered. "Rey, inform Tsubasa to reschedule our meeting to tonight at 8."

Rey nodded and vanished like the wind. The onlookers were amazed by the shunshin that left no trace, not even a detectable chakra signature.

Sakura looked at Naruto, His anger was going to be his downfall, she thought. She vanished to inform the council about this recent turn of events. Maybe they could somehow twist this in their favor.

Naruto saw her leaving and had a pretty good idea where she had gone to. Sai was missing as well, most likely gone to Danzo.

"Meet me at training ground seven when you're ready." Sasuke said.

"I am ready."

Sasuke stared at the blonde's attire which was definitely not suited for a shinobi battle. Yet if the dobe didn't care why should he?

So Sasuke nodded and both moved to the training ground.

It came as no surprise to Naruto that there was a crowd already waiting for them at training ground seven. Naruto ignored the teary eyed hokage. A solemn Jiraya stood next to her. The rest of the council was there as well.

His eyes met that of one of his most precious person (not any longer, at least Naruto liked to think so). Umino Iruka stood staring at the blonde, with guilt ridden eyes. Naruto stared at the man impassively and the man met Naruto's blue eyes dead on. There were tears, dark bags under dull chocolate eyes and Naruto could see a soul that reeked of pain and guilt; then there was joy. The happiness in the man surprised Naruto, why was he happy. This made Naruto angry. There was only one person; only one person in Konoha that Naruto hated and loved and it was Iruka. Other's he was indifferent about. It was Iruka's betrayal that had hurt the blond the worst. Because Iruka knew him since he was young, knew him long before Tsunade or Jiraya or Kakashi. Understood him more than his so called comrades at that time. He had a bond with Iruka that almost as deep as the one he had with the sandaime. And Iruka shattered it with a few choice words. Thinking back on it, Iruka never did as much as others did, Naruto didn't even remember seeing him on the days of his banishment. But Iruka had hurt him more than any other could.

Naruto snapped his gaze back to Sasuke who was scowling at the sight of the crowd. Even looking at Iruka bought a stab of pain to his chest. This was the reason he had studiously avoided any news on Iruka over the years.

The Uchiha was hoping to get a chance to get intimate with the blonde after he had defeated him. That had become impossible with the crowd present. Sasuke growled angrily.

Naruto rolled his eyes at the Uchiha.

"Shall we?" Naruto questioned with a nonchalant air. This managed to successfully piss Sasuke off; his superiority complex not really liking how the blond wasn't afraid of him.

"Uzumaki Naruto." Tsunade's voice sounded from a few feet ahead. Naruto fixed her with a bored gaze. Tsunade was still a mess, but she desperately held on to composure.

"I as the Hokage of Konohagakure and the honorable council have come to a decision."

Naruto raised an eyebrow, thinking on what twisted plan the council cooked up now.

Danzo Shimura stepped forward; "We have already read through your request to gain you clan inheritance; both of them."

Naruto scoffed at the 'request' part; "It is no request Danzo, it is a certified order from the daimyo, you wish to make changes in that?" Naruto smirked.

Danzo ignored the blonde's words, "We cannot approve of it."

"In case you didn't notice Danzo, you or your council's approval means nothing to me or the daimyo."

Danzo glared at the blond. "However we plan on arriving at a compromise."

"Oh and what would that be?" Naruto asked mockingly.

"This will be considered as an official match for the inheritance of the Namikaze and Uzumaki clans."

Naruto remained calm. The civilians and some shinobi that were present gasped at the name Namikaze.

"My clan inheritance is my right Danzo. None of you have the power to deny me my right. However, if this helps things go smoothly then I will do it."

The council smirked; the blond will definitely lose to the Uchiha.

"Since you agree, the other terms shall be revealed." Danzo hid a smirk as he looked at the blond.

"Other terms Danzo?" Naruto asked, he was entirely amused with the old crone.

"Yes, you will be fighting the entire previous Rookie nine and previous team 11 for your clan rights."

Naruto's eyes widened. The council members were thinking that he was scared and they smirked in victory. Naruto however was thinking something entirely different; 'Oh my! I was waiting for a chance to get even with them. And they give it right to me. How lovely!'

"And if you fail, you will belong to Konoha and all your properties including the ones in other countries will be taken over by the council. You will work for us after that."

"Mmhmm…. Interesting. You're all greedy as ever I see." Naruto said not really concerned.

Sasuke was smirking to himself, with the power he had on the council forcing the blond to marry him after that would be piece of cake. And he can get the current husband of the blond killed.

"I agree." Naruto smirked, surprising all of them. But most of them pushed it aside as the blond being over confident.

Then Naruto continued, "But I have some conditions of my own."

"They are?" Danzo asked.

"Add Tsunade, Jiraya and the four jonin sensei to the group I am fighting." Many gasps were heard at that. Some began getting suspicious but they all believed that the blonde had no chance of winning.

"And" Naruto continued, "When I win, I will be taking everything owned by the Namikaze and Uzumaki with me; back to Demon country and there should be no protest against that." Naruto observed the disbelieving and angered looks when he said it like that he was sure of his victory. "One more condition, any property I own in Konoha will be outside the jurisdiction of the Hokage or the council after that. I can do whatever I want with them, even build a summer camp for Iwa shinobi and you will do nothing about it."

The confidence that Naruto was leaking had set them unease. But it was they were the ones that started this so backing down was out of the option.

"You're being arrogant Uzumaki." Danzo warned.

"Oh, the entire deal seems one sided doesn't it? So it is only right that I get something more out of this. Or do you fear that I would be able to defeat all of your so called elites?" Naruto asked in mock concern.

"We agree." Some of the council members shouted fully believing that the blond will fail. Tsunade nodded her consent as well. Danzo, despite his suspicions were outnumbered and therefore had no chance of stopping this.

Naruto smirked; everything was handed to him in a metaphorical silver platter.

"The fight will be on-"

Naruto cut Danzo off before he could finish; "Oh no, no, no. You think I would fight you just trusting your word that you will do all this if I win?" Naruto scoffed. "I want all of this in an official document and it will be sent to the fire and demon daimyo. The fight will only take place if and only if both daimyo approve and only in either their own or their representatives' presence. I will never ever do the mistake of trusting Konoha again." Naruto said with a smirk.

Danzo now knew that the blonde had something planned. If the blonde had any doubt he wouldn't win, he wouldn't have asked for the presence and permission of the daimyos. This way both parties couldn't back out of the terms of the fight.

"I will have my lawyer arrive this evening. He will prepare the contract and once the Hokage approves it will be delivered to the daimyo. The fight will have to be postponed till everything is ready. Now I have other business to attend to"

Naruto walked away with Keiran and Rey (whose presence was a shocker to everyone since no one noticed his arrival). The stunned crowd stood there murmuring among themselves. Most was sure about the outcome of the fight. Only a few felt uneasy with what was happening.

One Umino Iruka smiled at the retreating back of his ex-student. He had a feeling that Konoha had just dug its own grave and he was more than satisfied to know that Naruto would be the one to bring down Konoha.

'Konoha deserves anything you give her Naruto. It's time we pay for our crimes.'

Iruka walked away smiling softly in a very long time.
