The End of the Beginning

Tsunade was pissed, plain and simple. After spending quite some time trying to calm Anko down, she left with Jiraiya and Shizune, and headed straight for home. She looked forward to some sleep and wanted to think about what was going to happen in the next couple of days. Her hopes were crushed when they found a couple dozen shinobi at their house. Needless to say, they fell like flies. Tsunade was so proud when she saw her daughter take down ,what looked like, five jounin at once.

Of course, this was forgotten when she heard one of the shinobi state that they would die along side Naruto. Tsunade hesitated, before she killed the nin swiftly, along with every other one there. The second that the last one hit the floor, they ran as fast as they could towards Anko's house. Unfortunately the route was blocked off by seven to eight squads of anbu. They decided not to fight the anbu ( Even though one sannin could easily kill them, let alone two.), since the battle itself would draw to much attention. This, in turn, forced them to take the long way. Ya, Tsunade was having a serious headach.

Tsunade took a deep breath and sighed, as she looked back at Jiraiya ans Shizune. They had been running through the streets of Konoha for some time now, avoiding as much combat as possible. She new that Jiraiya, if given the chance, would use some big, overly destructive jutsu that would destroy half of the village. Especially with how pissed off he had become.

That's why Tsunade wasn't giving him one.

Shizune was also determined to spill some blood. One of the attackers had called her the demons whore. It was a funny sight to behold, when Shizune went berserk. She not only pulled the sword out of the mans hand, but stabbed him below the belt. Where exactly is up to you, personally Tsunade was routing for her to aim it directly under the belt buckle and ram it straight through his-.

" Mother, look up at the sky! " yelled Shizune, bringing Tsunade out of her thoughts. Tsunade looked upwards to see a large smoke cloud. Tsunade couldn't tell what they were burning, only that it had to be at least the size of a small house. She wondered for a few moments before Jiraiya spoke up.

" Their burning her house." he stated grimly, as the others looked in shock at him.

" Are you sure? " asked Tsunade, as she looked back at Shizune, who had a worried expression.

" What else would they burn? " replied Jiraiya, Tsunade turned her attention towards him, seeing the neutral expression on his face.

" Do you think Naruto-kun and Anko-chan?" asked Shizune worryingly, Tsunade and Jiraiya just stayed quite, keeping their eye's to the ground. This caused Shizune to worry even more. " Should we at least return to their house? "

" No, that wouldn't help them...or us now." stated Jiraiya, as he stopped running, both Tsunade and Shizune stopped, and looked directly at him.

" So what do we do then? " asked Tsunade, who was starting to get a little impatient.

" We split up, you two will head towards the Hyuuga compound and I will look for anyone else that can help." stated Jiraiya. Tsunade thought for a moment, before nodding. " Alright, that would give us some what of an advantage." She then looked over at Shizune. " Lets go." Tsunade then proceeded to run towards the Hyuuga mansion. Shizune hesitated for a second, before taking off after her mother. Jiraiya watched the girls run off and sighed. He felt a few raindrops fall on him, before it started rain like no tomorrow, soaking him completely. He crossed his arms over his chest, while he looked up at the giant smoke cloud.

"Don't die on me yet...brat."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sarutobi couldn't believe what he was seeing, what was left of...him. He looked over at Kakashi, who was once again comforting Rin, as she cried a stream of tears. He himself only showed a blank expression. Iruka was being held back by a group of shinobi, as he tried to break through them, shedding tears as well. Yugao was also being held back by a group of anbu she once had command over. She, like Kakashi , only showed a blank face. Emotionless if you will, as she ripped the anbu to shreds with her sword. All of them seemed to be out of it, not noticing the world around them, as the sunk deeper into their own little worlds

Sarutobi looked up and at the people of konoha, who had surrounded them the second that they arrived, attempting to keep them as far away as possible. He looked at each and every face of the people there. All of them had smiles, happy with what they had done. The children that they had brought...they were also smiling. The third then looked over at Fugaku, who just smirked, while he spit in his direction. Sarutobi looked back towards the person, who was like a grandson to him.

" My god...Naruto...what have they done...?"

WARNING: This next section contains extreme disfiguration of the body, loss of body parts, and blood. This section of the fanfic has been labeled M rating, and reading this next part is of your own decision. That is all WARNING.

They had completely destroyed him. He had everything: burns, stab marks, cuts, drill holes (ect). Pieces of his flesh laid everywhere, with the occasional parts of organs here and there. His limbs were pitch black and melted to the ground. His chest was full of drill holes, no doubt that what organs that were left inside of him would look like they had went through a blender. His muscles were all over the ground, all unwound into separate pieces. Kunai, needles, shurekin and many other different kinds of weapons were sticking out of him. They looked like they were pinning him to the ground rather than to cause him pain. Blood was everywhere, all over the roads, the body parts...the people. Some of it had been washed away, due to the rain, but it still left stains on the ground. The main parts of the body were in a small pile, completely soaked from the water. On top was, what looked like, half of Naruto's face , his eye staring directly at the third. The third threw up on the spot after seeing this.

The Third looked at Fugaku, who was still smirking, before standing up and looking directly into Fugaku's eyes. Light seemed to flicker in both their eye's, both knowing the next question to come, but the answer...

" Why?" asked the Hokage, who didn't move an inch, keeping his eye's locked with Fugaku's.

"Because...he took everything away from me." answered Fugaku, as he looked over at Naruto and smiled. " He got everything, but also kept nothing. The fool stood in my path, an...obstacle. He was a demon that deserved to die and nothing more." The third glared at him in anger, but there was also a slight hint of pain in his eyes as well.

" He was an innocent child, that gave his very existence to keep us safe. He never hurt anyone and smiled at everyone. He was the fourths son and protector of the village. And...after all these years, you kill him with no reason what so ever. So I ask you again, why?"

Fugaku closed his eyes and thought about this question, as everyone stared at him, waiting for an answer. He looked over at everyone there and called on past memories. He called on things he had seen before Naruto was born, before the kyuubi attacked. Every square inch of his mind was covered for something anything. Even though, he already knew the real reason to why he hated Naruto.

" The reason why is because..." Fugaku said, as he opened his eyes. " ...he's a Uzumaki." Fugaku walked over to the pile and pulled out a sword. "A crappy clan, with fools as clan members." He looked down at Naruto with a disgusted look. " And a demon, that holds no power...worthless." The thirds eyes grew wide when he saw Fugaku prepared to stab Naruto by positioning his sword right above the boys body and pulled it up a bit, before bringing it downwards...

...and having it knocked out of his hands, as he was sent into the nearest building, causing it to fall to the ground. The otherssnapped out of their thoughtsand looked towards Naruto in shock. The third took a moment to realize what had happened.

Eleven Hyuuga's were now surrounding the body, all in fighting positions. Hiashi was standing next to Tsunade and Shizune, who were searching through the pile of parts, their arms deep within it.

Kakashi looked around to see that the shinobi from before had backed away at the sight of the Hyuuga and took the opportunity to reach the boy.

Kakashi looked back at the others. " Come on!" he yelled, as he broke from his embrace with Rin and ran towards Naruto. They caught on a second later and proceeded to also run towards Naruto. As soon as they reached him, Kakashi, and Iruka took defensive stances to guard Naruto as well, while Yugao and Rin ran up to Shizune ( she was closer. )

"Is their anyway we can help?" asked Yugao, as Shizune looked up at them.

" Yes, there is, but we have to-." " FOUND IT! " yelled Tsunade, cutting off Shizune. Shizune immediately pulled her ,now blood covered, hands out of the pile and ran towards Tsunade. The two just froze, as they watched Shizune put her hand on Tsunade's left shoulder, while Tsunade looked up at the two.

" What are you waiting for? Get over here!" She yelled as the women ran over to Tsunade, who was now forming seals. They looked questionably at Shizune, who just motioned for them to place their hand on Tsunade. Rin placed her hand on Tsunade's right shoulder and Yagou placed her hand on Tsunade's back.. Yugao looked up at Shizune and was about to asked her a few questions when she was cut off.

" He's not dead." stated Shizune, who looked at Rin's and Yugao's shocked face's " Those bastards were keeping him alive by pumping chakar through his heart, forcing it to beat and keeping the veins to his nervous system and to his limbs connected, but that still wouldn't be enough. If it weren't for the Kyuubi and the spiders in naruto's body, who are constantly repairing him at this point, he'd be dead by now." She looked over at Tsunade, who was whispering something, as seals started to appear all over her body. " We were looking for the heart earlier and, thanks to mother, we were able to find it. Now listen carefully, when she finishes her seals, you to need to focus as much chakra into her as possible, since the technique for saving Naruto requires more then both myself and mother can provide." Shizune stated, as she watched her mother move through seals faster then any normal shinobi could do. When she finished, the seals covering Tsunade started to glow a bright blue, as she shoved her hand into the pile once again.

".Ninpo Sozo Saise: Uzumaki Shi-Ru! " Tsunade yelled, as she focused as much chakra into Naruto as physically possible. The three girls also focused as much chakra as the could into Tsunade without losing consciousness. The four girls were covered by a dome of light, as a HUGE light shot upwards towards the sky, breaking through the clouds. The light intensified, as the clouds started to swirl around the light.

A figure could be seen in the light, rising upwards towards the sky. Everyone gasped when they realized that it was Naruto, who was now completely healed. His entire body was glowing white, black seals appearing all over his body, as his pure white eye's looked down on them. A second later, four BIG ASS wings shot out of his back. The light intensified, as the clouds disappeared reveling a big symbol above Naruto. The size of the seal was immense, since it looked like it could take up about 1/4 of Konoha. Naruto continued to look down at them, while flapping to keep up in the air. Nine small black seals appeared behind his wings in a semi circle like fashion.

A second later, he stopped flapping his wings, as his body produced a large flash of light. He fell backwards towards the ground and hitting it hard, now in his normal state, as a group of white feathers fell slowly towards the ground as well. Hiashi ran towards Naruto and checked him. He had a weak heart beat, but one none the less. The Third, who had just stayed still the entire time slowly walked up to Naruto and checked the him himself. He was relieved to know that the Kyuubi was still working over time and at this rate, Naruto would be fine in a couple of minutes...physically anyway.

The light itself had disappeared in a flash of light, as the four women could be spotted on the ground. Kakashi and Iruka ran up to the women and checked all of them. They were all unconscious, but were still breathing. Of course through all of this, they failed to noticed a few shinobi had gotten over their shock at seeing such a thing and were preparing to attack Naruto. They did, however, notice the screams of pain and agony from the shinobi, as they turned in their direction.

A small group of spiders were attached to the faces of all the shinobi and were spraying acid on them. The spiders jumped off, as the shinobi grabbed their faces, smoke visibly coming from them. They dropped to the ground a few seconds later, as the spiders stood on their back four legs, their front ones high in the air, as they hissed in victory. The third heard some one laugh, as he turned to face the direction of the building that Fugaku went through.

" So you managed to save the brat...for now, what are you going to do Sarutobi? The penalty for attacking a konoha citizen is death, but what happens if over half the village is part of it? Are you going to kill us all!" Fugaku continued to laugh, as the Third gritted his teeth.

Fugaku my have been a heartless bastard, but he was smart enough to know how to get through konoha laws. He knew that their was at least some chance of them failing, so he came up with a plan B. If the Sandaime punished the people for their crimes, then he would have to punish everyone with death, including the children. Even if he decided to due this, over half of Konoha's population would be gone, which would undoubtedly destroy The Hidden Leaf. The worst part is... they would be able to do this again, sure he could put up another law, but he had already put up laws to protect the Uzumaki's...to protect Naruto.. The old Hokage looked through his mind for every possible way to help the Uzumaki family, every law that every Hokage has passed, ran through his mind, until he finally found something. The Third smirked we he finally remembered something that could help.

It seems that Fugaku was not the only person to have plan B's.

Fugaku stopped laughing when he saw the Thirds smirk.. It was rare for the Third to smirk, he smiles frequently yes, but to smirk? He knew that as soon as he saw that smirk, he was royally fucked.. All the other shinobi's were thinking that as well, as the children in the group looked at the Third with puzzled faces.

" Your right Fugaku...for once. I can't kill off half of the konoha population or punish anyone here." all of them visibly relaxed, as the Third continued to smirk. " I can, however, do two things., one is..." The Third then proceeded to pull out a large yellow scroll and opened it. " To activate the Fourths law." everyone of the shinobi looked at him in shock, as Fugaku's jaw dropped to the floor.

" I, The Sandaime, here by activate the law of the deceased Hokage, The Fourth, in order to protect the Kyuubi carrier, Uzumaki Naruto." The Third took in a deep breath and began to read it. " Naruto will be given to protect him ( One, the ability to leave and return to the village of his own accord. ( Two, should his mother, Uzumaki Anko, be killed in any manner, he will be appointed a guardian to watch over him until he reaches the age required in Konoha to be considered an adult. ( And Finally, He shall inherit everything that belonged to the fourth Hokage." the Thirds smirk grew as he saw Fugaku face grow into one of...terror?

The Hokage knew what the law meant when he read it, and apparently, so did Fugaku. Of course Naruto would inherit all of the fourths things, but there was one thing that was special...one thing that Fugaku has had his eye on for years and that was...The scroll of Forbidden Scroll. The fourth had written it, put every jutsu that he had learned and studied in it. He spent three years working on it, only to be killed two weeks later when the Kyuubi attacked.

Fugaku's face lit up in anger, as he made some hand motions. " I will not allow that...thing to have the Scroll!" He yelled as ten Uchiha branch members flew from the roof tops and landed on the ground, and started to run towards Naruto. They didn't make it five feet, before they were engulfed in a Huge swarm of bugs and were lifted into the air. Their screams rang through Konoha, as their bodies dropped to the ground, completely sucked dry of any fluids left. At the site of the bug's, the three spiders returned to Naruto, knowing full well that he would be safe from this point on.

"...And we won't allow you to hurt him." Stated a voice, as the Third looked towards it. Shibi was walking down one of the roads, with his clan behind him and a large swarm of bugs flying over their heads. Fugaku looked at Shibi in rage.

" Stay out of this! " he yelled at Shibi, who just glared him.

"...He may be a Uzumaki, but he is considered to be one of us and shall be protected accordingly."

The swarm of bugs started to swarm over their heads violently, as Shibi looked towards the Hokage. "...Jiraiya wanted me to tell you that he's already gone to retrieve the Scroll and will meet you at the North gate." The Hokage nodded, as he looked over at the shinobi, glancing at each and everyone's face, before stopping on Fugaku's face. He stared into the eye's of the Man that caused so much suffering, just to kill one child. He knew that their was other people like him in Konoha, ones that would stop at nothing to get what they want. All the destruction, chaos...pain, that's all this village ever caused for anyone and he...just couldn't take it anymore.

He closed his eye's. " The second thing I can do is..." The third took in a deep breath, his face expressing much pain in the decision he was about to make. " I, Sarutobi, Sandaime Hokage of the village of the leaves, retire from active duty as Hokage and shall become the guardian of Naruto. Further more, I shall immediately hand the title of Hokage over to Uzumaki Jiraiy." The third then slowly took off the Hokage hat and tossed it to the ground. Shibi walked up to Sarutobi and handed him a small note.

"...Jiraiya thought that you might say that." stated Shibi, as the Third read over the note and gave a small smile.

To Sarutobi

" ...When do I start?"

The Third crumbled the paper and also tossed it to the ground. He proceeded to pick up Naruto's body and head north. He looked back at Iruka and Kakashi, who were receiving help from the Hyuuga in picking up the unconscious Uzumaki women. Both men looked at Sarutobi and then at Naruto, before listening to him.

"Tell the Anbu group that Naruto will not be going back to the house." Sarutobi turned his back and was about to walk off, before he stopped and looked over his shoulder at them. " And tell my family...I'm sorry." He then started to walk down the road, as people stepped aside to make a path for the former Hokage...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shibi watched sarutobi walk off with interest. A man that has done some much for this village, was now betrayed by more then half of it in one night. Yet...he is still able to keep strong, for those that are to weak and for those that needed him. His kind of people...was rare in this world, in this village itself., and the reason why his kind were so rare was...He was kind-hearted. For once, Shibi did something that was also rare in this world, something that only a few have ever seen.

He, An Aburame, smiled.

"...Father, is something wrong." asked a figure with a female voice. Shibi looked down towards the voice. There stood a little girl, around the age of 7, right next to him. She wore the usual Aburame outfit of black pants and a white jacket with a high collar, sunglasses covering her eyes. What did make her stand out from the Aburame was the color of her hair, which was a mixture of white and pink. Shibi couldn't understand why it was that color, it just was. They had no blood relations with the Haruno's and her mother only had white hair, how the pink was mixed in, he'll never know.

" Nothing Okami, nothing at all."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

" So Naruto...do you understand why we left? " asked Sarutobi, as he watched the blond nod in response. He sighed, as he continued to walk forward. What Konoha had done to him was unforgivable, that had changed him completely. The once loud, smiling child, was now cold and quite one. Naruto just continued to stare forward, as his eye's showed no emotion what so ever.

He had been like this ever since he woke up.

After making the exchange with Jiraiya, Sarutobi left with Naruto in his arm's and the Forbidden Scroll on his back. He was surprised when he saw Ami with Jiraiyaas well, though all Ami didwas look up at him, before heading towards Naruto and crawling inside of him to rest.Several hours later, Naruto finally woke up and asked him what had happened...before he remembered on his own. Naruto then quietly listened to Sarutobi's explanation on what had happened. Sarutobi wished that there was a way, anyway to change this, but he came up with nothing.

Sarutobi snapped out of his thoughts as he put his hand in front of Naruto to stop him in his tracks and drew a sword from his robe's, prepared for anything that could happen. Sarutobi visibly relaxed when he saw a figure walk up to them.

" Hello, Sarutobi-sama." Greeted the anbu, as he bowed a bit.

Sarutobi smiled as he noticed Naruto's expression light up and watched him run up to the Anbu ,while hugging him tightly. " Itachi-kun!" Naruto yelled, as he tightened his grip. Though both Sarutobi and Naruto could not see it, behind his mask, Itachi's face formed into a small smile.

" Hello...Naruto-kun."

A few days later, the Uchiha massacrer happened.

Author: well there you go, I managed to get over my sickness. ( with some minor difficulties, okay it was hell.) Anyway I was thinking that since this chapter seems to have more detail and words then the last chapters, that I might not rush the fanfic anymore and concentrate on quality then quantity.
