Right, heres the next chapter, jumping straight on into the action with a large, and yet short fight. I reckon by the end of this chapter I might have lost a fan or two, and I reckon in about the next three chapters I'll lose a couple more with where this fic is heading.
Jumping Right on into the action!
Sorry for taking so long to come out with the update :( My greatest apologies, I'll try to get the next one up by next week.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
It didn't take him long at all to find it, and he really wished he hadn't found it when he had, in the forest not more then a half mile in from the fence was a gigantic spider ish demon. It was gigantic to be sure, it must have stood about 75 feet tall to the top of it's back, it had all eight legs, proving it to indeed be an arachnid, but the very bad part was the seven tails that were at the tail end of it, all dangerously resembling a Scorpions tail, having a large stinger on the end that was literally dripping with poison.
When Naruto arrived, the huge spider, demon thing instantly stopped what it was doing and starred right at him. It's huge fangs chattered about and it hissed a single word, that both clarified things, and confused them further. "Kyuubi"
One of it's seven tails suddenly lashed out at Naruto and he dodged it, and it smashed into the ground causing a large tremor, shattering the earth around the impact. Naruto started to run away from the spider, to lure it away from the genins and anything else it might be able to hurt. 'Kyuubi, just what the fuck is going on exactly!?' he screamed in his mind.
Kyuubi grimaced, this was not good, not at all 'Right, well I'm the king of the demons, right? Well, the more powerful demons are always competing for the top, but when I was sealed away I dropped off the radar, but was still the king. So....That burst of my chakra you sent out before, this demon must have recognized it as me, and came to kill me, and you, to claim the title as king'
Naruto paled 'What the fuck do I do now? I may have trained for a long time with you now, but still this thing just has so much raw power, it doesn't need skill! It has seven tails, I can only use three'
Kyuubi sighed, something he didn't do often, which meant bad news 'Truth be told? At this point we're both probably incredibly fucked, along with everyone in your village, once it kills us it will probably commence a celebratory slaughter of your village. I'm going to do my best to try and come up with something, for now just run, and hold it off as best you can'
Naruto started to sweat, something that was very rare for him, he just barely dodged another jab from one of it's tails. While he dodged around trees, it just ran through them and the trees shattered on it's exoskeleton, demonstrating it's durability.
Naruto reached the fence of the forest of death and spotted Anko on the other side, he leaped over the fence and jumped in a direction opposite of Anko, he turned to her and yelled one thing, that when Uzumaki Naruto yells to you, makes you scared
"RUN! NOW!"
Naruto didn't stop at all, and Anko took off in a different direction. Not a second later the gigantic beast came smashing through the tree line of the forest and barreled to, and through the fence as if it never existed. Anko's eyes widened as the beast that was chasing after Naruto came into view, she had to get help, or something! She disappeared in a swirl of leaves, and reappeared directly in Sarutobi's office, forgoing the normal procedure of appearing outside and knocking.
Sarutobi nearly chocked when a very disheveled Anko, who smelled of sex. Appeared in his office, panting and looking frightened, Anko was never frightened "Sarutobi-sama....Huge problem....chuunin exam... Monster" she said between pants.
Sarutobi's eyes widened and he jumped up from his desk, he had felt the large surge of chakra just minutes before, but he had also felt Naruto's a while earlier, and figured it was just him again. "Anko, what happened?"
Anko caught her breath and started "Something appeared in the forest of death, it gave off a huge wave of chakra. Naruto went to check it out, then came back a couple minutes later screaming for me to run, I did and not a second later a gigantic Spider thing with seven tails burst from the forest, chasing after Naruto"
Sarutobi's eyes widened further "What! Oh Kami this is bad, Karen! Round up every single available Jounin and Anbu in the village, tell them to get to where ever Naruto and the demon are, but to NOT engage" Karen, his secretary immediately nodded and hit the alarm for all Jounins and higher to report to the Hokages office. Sarutobi himself got up and left with Anko to chase down Naruto and the demon, which wasn't to hard considering the size of the behemoth.
Naruto led the spider to the largest training ground he knew of, big, flat and open. Perfect for taking on a gigantic demon. But when he and the spider got the field, the spider stopped, and stood there just staring at him, with all seven tails waving about slightly behind it, twitching in preparation.
Naruto and the Demon stood there, squaring off and more or less staring each other down, and all of the villages Jounin, Anbu, and Sarutobi and Anko all arrived in no time. To say they were surprised by what they found would be the ultimate understatement.
Naruto turned to the gathered Shinobi and growled "What the fuck are you all doing, gathering to be slaughtered? Get the fuck out of here!"
Sarutobi frowned at Naruto "And what exactly, leave you to fight this monster off alone? Leave you to die?"
Naruto growled again "Exactly! It's here to kill me, get the hell away from here. I'm the only one who has the slightest chance against this thing anyway! If you're going to be stupid and not leave, at least don't interfere, I can't risk you"
Sarutobi sighed "I can't leave you to die Naruto"
Naruto grabbed his hair in frustration "Yes you can! You send Shinobi to their deaths on missions everyday, this is no different! I have no chance at winning this fight, I'm just buying time for a solution to arise, now stop trying to help!"
The demon seemed to have had enough of Naruto not focusing on it and it lashed out with two of it's tails at once, Naruto ducked down and sprang away, just in time as the stingers slammed into the earth, shaking the training ground mildly. Naruto growled "Damn it! Fine lets go you piece of spider shit!" Naruto dragged up as much of Kyuubi's chakra as he could, and a red mist began to pour off of him as the chakra covered him in a cloak of red, and three tails formed behind him. His eyes turned blood red and his whiskers darkened. He dropped down onto all fours and leaned in, ready to pounce.
The spider reared forward to stab at him again with it's tails and Naruto took the advantage, he quickly launched to the side, dodging the blow, then sprang off the ground, cracking the earth where he was from the pressure. He rocketed across the gap between the two at incredible speeds, and he slammed his fist into the spiders exposed underside, the impact shattered Naruto's entire arm, and the entire spider was lifted up off the ground and launched back about twenty feet from the blow. The spider landed on the ground, again shaking the field and it merely shook off Naruto's blow. Naruto landed on the ground with his arm hanging limply at his side. He winced at the shattered bones, it would take a couple minutes to heal at least.
The giant spider charged forward towards Naruto, Naruto expected another attempted tail strike, and was caught completely offguard when the spider quickly flicked it's front most leg forward, smashing into Naruto, and sending him flying into, and through two trees, sending splinters of wood and leaves everywhere.
The impact knocked Naruto out, and he quickly found himself in his mind once again. He sprinted through the wet halls, he had memorized the route to Kyuubi's cage long ago. He arrived in the Kyuubi's room and ran up to the cage "Kyuubi we've got problems I got knocked out, and any luck on a solution!?"
Kyuubi appeared on the other side of the cage "Well, I did come up with one way we could do it, but I'm not sure if you want to do it"
Naruto grabbed his hair again in frustration "If it gives us a chance I'll do it, we don't have a choice here, it's do it or die, and then everyone else will die too! What do we have to do?"
Kyuubi sighed "We could modify the seal again, remove more of it, leave pretty much only the part that ties our souls together, that way you can access almost all of my power"
Naruto nodded furiously, "Okay, I'll do it! Just tell me what to do with the seal!"
Kyuubi shook his head "That isn't the only thing though, by removing all of the limiters, my chakra will also have complete access to you, and it will change you again, like when your teeth grew out and you gained claws, that was my chakra changing you, so it will change you again, but further, to what extent I don't know, but you will be forever different. It's possible that it would even go so far as to turn you into a fox"
Naruto gulped and sighed "Tell me what to do with the seal, it doesn't matter what happens to me in the end, we have to protect Anko, and Sarutobi, and living would be a bonus, even if it is as a fox"
Kyuubi nodded "Okay then, you truly are incredibly noble you know. You're going to have to rip the seal again, except this time leave only the top border of the seal, that is what ties our souls together, if you remove that piece our souls will be ripped from your body and we both die painfully, and slowly. Our combined power exploding out could very well level Konoha too"
Naruto gulped and reached up to the seal, and carefully ripped away more of the seal, so that in the end only the top border of the seal remained. He was once again flooded with intense pain, and was thrust from the mind scape, except he had to stay awake through the pain, and kill this spider while it happened.
Out in the real world Naruto exploded with the definition of power, waves of pure chakra rolled off of him, the shroud of chakra around him grew and morphed, so that Naruto looked almost completely like a fox, with a full nine tails lashing about behind him violently. Naruto winced at the incredible pain the removal of the seal was causing him, but he had to bare the pain, and work through it.
Naruto stood up from where he had fallen unconscious, he stood on all fours and growled incredibly loudly at the spider demon. And he disappeared, and reappeared above the demon and smashed his fist into the top of it's head, slamming the spiders entire body into the ground, effectively making it eat dirt.
Naruto's sudden complete change into a miniature nine tailed fox startled all of the gathered Shinobi to no extent, even Sarutobi was unnerved by it, and was sweating bullets, he turned to Anko "Did you know he could do that?"
Anko shook her head dumbly, not losing the completely astonished look on her face "I don't think he could do that, I think he did something, he said he had no chance before, that he was just buying time for a solution to arise. I think he might have been buying time for the Kyuubi to do something"
Sarutobi gulped, he really hoped this didn't turn really bad, really fast.
Back in the fight the spider got up from the dirt and clattered it's fangs at Naruto and hissed at him, the shroud of Naruto grinned evilly at the spider. He opened his mouth incredibly wide, and let out an earth shattering roar, literally. The ground around Naruto ripped apart and an incredibly powerful Concussive wave flew towards the giant spider. It hit it square in the face and launched the spider backwards and through the air. The spider landed about one hundred feet away with a crack in the exoskeleton on it's head, the soft innards of the creature could be seen beneath as it's purple blood seeped through the crack. The spider roared, whether it was pain or anger, or both, was unsure. But it looked mad at Naruto.
Naruto merely grinned at the spider and disappeared again, and reappeared above it once again, this time intent to deliver the fatal blow to the Spiders delicate innards. Naruto reared back with powerful punch, with his red chakra rolling around his fist in an almost flaming manner, he let his fist fly.
The sound of shredding flesh was unmistakable throughout the training ground, nor was the blood chilling scream of Anko. Naruto's fist stopped mere inches from the open crack in the spiders head. He looked down at himself and two of the spiders scorpid tails had pierced through him, one was through his chest, the other through his abdomen. The spider was actually holding him back from killing him, by impaling him through the back.
Naruto roared in anger and pain and twisted around, ignoring the two tails embedded in his body. He wrapped his hand around one of the tails and brutally ripped it from the spiders thorax., and he copied the action again and ripped the second tail off. He then grabbed a hold of the two tails and ripped them from his body.
The spider roared in incredible pain from having two of it's tails forcefully ripped from it's body, but it soon fell quite. Naruto took the stinger end of the tail that had pierced his chest and rammed it down through the cracked exoskeleton, into the spiders brain beneath as far as he could. The spider instantly fell silent and collapsed into the ground, once again causing the training ground to quake.
Naruto jumped from the top of the spiders head and the shroud of chakra quickly started to recede from him. He started to stumble over towards Sarutobi and Anko, as blood poured from the two gaping wounds in his chest and abdomen. By the time he got over to them the shroud had disappeared and his normal self was visible, and the exact damage could be seen, his chest and abdomen had both indeed been run through, right where his heart was in fact, he should have been dead already by all means.
Naruto got to them and stood before them swaying "Hah, I killed it, now to my house please, I have to get their soon, before the changing starts to fully begin, don't worry about the wounds, they'll heal fine" He managed to get the whole sentence out, albeit a bit slurred, but the message was heard. He then promptly collapsed into peace, free of the incredible pain he'd been baring since he modified the seal.
Sarutobi sighed, he thought Naruto should go to the hospital, but he seemed to know what was going on better then he himself did. "Anko, take him to his apartment, then get back to monitoring the chuunin exams, there's no need to get the genin more startled then whatever that spider may have done to them"
Anko nodded and lifted up Naruto's limp body, as blood still drained from the gaping wounds, she then jumped off towards his apartment
Sarutobi turned back to the crowd of Jounin and Anbu, who were even more stunned and confused then he or Anko was. "Everything you have all seen today is officially an S-rank secret until further notice, you will speak of it to no one in the village, you're all dismissed." The gathered Shinobi all nodded and disappeared in various swirls of leaves or puffs of smoke. 'I hope what ever he meant by changes isn't bad' Sarutobi thought.
Anko was fretting over Naruto's condition as she carried him to his house, like Sarutobi, she also thought that he should go to the hospital, not his house, but he seemed to know more then they did, and she trusted him, but the fact that the wounds on him had still yet to close, even with his advanced healing was still making her nervous, his blood was still leaking from the wounds, and down the front of her.
She arrived at his apartment and got in through his window, since the door was locked, she laid out a few towels to soak up the blood and she laid him out and quickly wrapped his wounds with some bandages, she kissed him once again on the lips and slipped out of his apartment. Not long after she left Naruto's body started the full process of his transformation, Kyuubi's Youkai once again surrounded his body and enveloped him in a cocoon ish looking shroud of red energy. Within the shroud his body was once again undergoing changes, brought on by Kyuubi's energy now have full access to his body, attempting to assimilate his body to it's power.
The shroud of energy lasted for over twenty-four hours, finally fading sometime in the middle of the next day. Naruto opened his eyes and groaned. He leaned up from his bed and was happy to see that he wasn't a fox, as far as he could tell. He got out of bed and also noticed his wounds were completely gone, not even leaving a scar, he decided to see exactly what Kyuubi's chakra had done to him, and he walked over to his mirror and looked into it, and jumped back in shock. "Holy Shit!" He yelled.
The chakra had changed him more then he had first thought, his face was even more fox like now, his eyes were angled, giving him a more sinister look, his whisker marks were now permanently enlarged, making him look even more feral and vicious, but that wasn't even nearly the last of it. His hair was now pitch black, with the ends being blood red, he had long jet black, red tipped fox ears poking up through his hair, and possibly the biggest possible change, was that he now had nine tails flowing about behind him, all jet black with red tips. How he missed them when he got up was beyond him, but they were clearly there now.
Naruto took in his entire appearance and sighed "Well, I sure look like you now, Kyuubi"
Kyuubi sighed 'I warned you Kit, but it could have been worse, you could be a fox right now, so it's not all bad'
Naruto shrugged and got dressed in his clothes, he needed to make a rip in his pants for his tails to go through, he noticed that he could consciously control the tails, and when he wasn't consciously thinking about them they seemed to do as they pleased. Naruto finished getting dressed and found a bandanna in his stuff, he tied it over his head tightly, hiding his hair and ears, and he managed to get his tails to wrap around his waist, kind of like a big furry belt, he then closed his trench coat, completely hiding all his new features, except for his face.
With everything done he left his house, locking the door behind him, he needed to see Anko, and soon.
Naruto went to Anko's house, then remembered it was now only the second day of the Chuunin second exam, so she was probably still proctoring it unless they were canceled, so he wasn't to surprised when she didn't answer her door. Naruto left her house and sprinted off towards the forest of death.
He arrived and looked about, the fence was still trashed and the path the spider had cleared through the forest was still very evident, He saw Anko leaning lazily against part of the undamaged fence. He decided to play a little joke on her, since she technically had no idea what he would look like after the change, so he quickly henged into a large jet black fox, with red tipped ears, and nine red tipped tails. He slowly walked over to where Anko was lounging and walked up to her, with his nine tails swishing.
Anko's eyes fell upon the large fox that was walking up to her, but furthermore on the nine long tails that were swishing about behind it, her eyes widened and her jaw dropped "It can't be" she whispered, but Naruto's super sensitive fox ears heard her easily, and he nodded.
Anko gasped and clasped her hand over her mouth "Naruto, is that you?"
The fox once again nodded "Yo Anko, yeah it's me"
Anko couldn't help but stare in disbelief at this huge fox that stood before her, telling her that it was her boyfriend, her love. "I-Is this what you meant by 'changes'?"
Naruto nodded "More or less, what are we gonna do though? It's not like we can stay together now, I'm a fox"
Anko frowned "Who says we can't? Sure it's weird, but I like you, not your body. Hell, if it is so needed, I could give bestiality a try"
Naruto couldn't help but tear up slightly, they had only been together for a short time, and she was so devoted to him as to stay with him, even if he was fox now. Naruto decided it was enough and he dispelled the henge with a cloud of smoke. The smoke cleared and Anko's eyes fell on Naruto, with his trench coat closed and a bandanna on, and also his changed face.
"What gives? I thought you were a fox?" Anko asked
Naruto sighed "It was just a henge, I originally wanted to see how you would freak out about it, but, you just had to be so accepting. Anko, I think I love you"
Anko choked on her saliva "Nani? Could you repeat that?"
Naruto frowned, he thought she was rejecting him "I said I think I love you Anko. I mean, who else could possibly be better for me then you? You understand me, what I've been through, and you're even willing to stay with me if I was a fox, how could I ever possibly find a better match for myself?"
Anko fumbled with her own words, a nonexistent thing for her, normally. "N-Naruto, the only thing I could possibly say back to you after saying something like that is, I-I love you too. I mean at first I just thought you were a hot guy, but on the first day that we met, even though it was an accident you removed my curse seal, and set me free of the snake bastards hold."
"From then on you just grew on me more and more, as I learned more about you, and your past I realized just how alike our lives have been, and how we really are like matching pieces of some demented puzzle. You're the first person to ever show me any true care, sure Kurenai is a good friend, but she doesn't love me, even in like a sisterly way. I guess the best way I can explain it, is that you make me whole, I just hope I do the same for you"
Naruto smiled "You do, more then you could imagine. Well, so what now? Whats the next step?"
Anko shrugged "I dunno, how about you start by taking off that bandanna, and open your coat and stop hiding whatever changes happened?"
Naruto nodded and pulled off the bandanna, revealing his new hair color, and his two long ears. Anko, still being a member of the female species saw the ears, and one and only one word flowed from her mouth "Kawaii!" She lunged forward to get her hands on the fuzzy ears but Naruto stopped her "Not yet, I'm not done yet"
Anko nodded and stepped back, And Naruto opened his trench coat, revealing the thick fluffy 'belt' around his waist. Anko eyed the fluffy thing and quirked and eyebrow "Uhh, what's that?" she said pointing at the 'belt'.
Naruto smirked, and unwound his tails from around his waist, the tails, back to having their free will instantly started to swish about around him. Naruto took conscious control of one of the tails and brought it forward and reached out towards Anko with it. Anko reached out towards the tail slowly, like a child who's curiosity was overpowering their nervousness. She took the tail in her hand and stroked it gently, and was amazed. "So soft, you're like my own teddy bear now you know"
Naruto guffawed "Teddy bear? This here is fox fur, milady"
Anko smiled "So, just what can these tails do?" And with that simple question Anko had signed her death certificate. Naruto attacked her, yes that's right all nine tails instantly lashed out at her... and began to tickle her to death.
Anko was reduced to a giggling five year old in under a few seconds, but it didn't take long for the deadly tickle fight to turn into a heated make out session between the two.
Their make out session eventually ended and the two leaned against the fence, both slightly winded from the kissing. Naruto turned to Anko and frowned slightly "Anko, we still have two and a half days until the exam ends, what the hell are we going to do? Sex is great, but we can't just go at it for two days, we would be dead by the time we had to greet the genin at the tower."
Anko shrugged "I dunno, I'm not good at coming up with things to do, normally when I'm bored I do one of a few things, get drunk, eat some dango, or harass some Chuunin or Genin"
Naruto grinned as a sudden, stupid idea hit him "Wait here Anko, I thought of something we can do, stupid, fun, and should pass the time nicely" Naruto disappeared, leaving Anko to ponder what he had come up with.
Naruto returned about twenty minutes later with a large bag, and a face splitting grin "Alright, Foxy. What did you get?"
Naruto chuckled at the nickname and emptied the contents of the bag out "Fine Sake, Fresh Dango, and Shougi!"
Anko quirked an eyebrow at him "Soo, you wanna play Shougi while smashed? Sounds like fun!"
Naruto grinned and started setting up the Shougi board, and Anko swiped all the Dango before he even got one.
And so they spent the rest of their time getting completely trashed, playing Shougi horribly, laughing at every little thing, and with a bit of wild drunken sex thrown in for kicks.
They managed to recover from their drinking binge just in time for the the exams to close, Naruto packed away all of their stuff, and the numerous bottles of Sake they burned through over their time alone, and the He swept up Anko off her feet and they disappeared in a swirl of fire.
They reappeared inside the tower in the center of the forest, in the center of a large arena looking room. And they appeared right in front of all of the genin teams that made it through the exam, Naruto had neglected to put his bandanna back on, but he did have his tails wrapped around him like a belt, but his coat was left open.
The appearance of the two...unique Jounin had startled a handful of the genin, and everyone noticed Naruto's change in hair color, but more so the long fuzzy ears that were poking through his hair, they also took notice of the large furry belt he had on, Kiba being the good ex-teammate he was brought the observations to bare "Yo, Naruto what the fuck happened? What's with the hair, those ears, the change to your face...and that...belt"
Naruto smirked, and set Anko down on her feet beside him "Firstly, it's not a belt" Naruto let his tails go free, and they instantly started to swish around again, seemingly happy at being free. Everyone's jaws dropped as the tails swished about, and anyone who wasn't aware of Naruto's containment of the nine tails mentally counted the number of tails and grew extremely confused, namely team Gai was completely lost. And Tenten wanted answers "Naruto? Why do you have nine tails?"
Naruto smirked "You weren't in our class, ask any of the genin about it all, they can explain it how they want, I don't feel like saying it"
Naruto noticed that she was done and finally continued "Right, so as I said before, preliminaries, get ready to fight against one another for your lives. These fights should be-" Naruto stopped mid-sentence as two Anbu's with strange emotionless masks appeared behind him, he could feel the the killing intent coming off of them, and the one on Naruto's left spoke "Dem...Naruto Uzumaki, you are to report to the council chambers now, concerning your actions earlier this week"
Naruto smirked without turning around "So, Word has already leaked about the S-class secret? Anko take over for me, I guess I'll say goodbye to all you genins now, since one of two things is going to happen once I get to the council chamber"
Trusty Tenten chirped in with a question "And what would those two things be?"
Naruto chuckled "Banishment, or Execution. Either one would be bad, but one would lead to the destruction of much of Konoha, so I hope they choose wisely" Naruto noticed the sudden fearful look in Anko's eyes and he looked straight at her "Don't worry Anko, it'll be alright, I'll come around to talk to you when whatever decision is made" Naruto swiftly turned around and clamped both of his hands over the two Anbu's throats, and the three disappeared in a swirl of fire.
Naruto appeared at the front of the council chamber, and dumped the two choking Root members on their asses. He had been to the chambers once before when Sarutobi gave him a small tour of the political side of Konoha when he was younger.
The gathered council gasped at his entrance, and furthermore at his appearance. Naruto noticed Sarutobi was there too, and didn't look the slightest bit happy 'Hah, so I was completely right' "Alright get on with it, not like I don't know why I'm here, or have a good idea as to what's gonna happen"
Danzo of the council stood up from his seat and cleared his throat "It has come to this council's attention that a few days ago you attracted an extremely powerful demon to Konoha, and then proceeded to battle it. In the process you destroyed hundreds of trees in the forest of death, trees that were older than Konoha itself, you also caused an untold amount of damage to the area from where the demon emerged, to where you fought it. Now tell me, what would have happened if that demon had instead appeared somewhere in the downtown area of Konoha?"
Naruto shrugged "I dunno, you'd have a whole bunch of dead villagers, and a giant dead spider in your market district"
Danzo nodded "Exactly, this council has come to a nearly unanimous decision that you Naruto Uzumaki are henceforth banished from Konoha, you will be given two days to gather your things, and leave this village to never return"
Naruto nodded "Fine, I'll be gone in no time, you wont have to worry about the demon destroying your village, but just so you know, I'm not gone for good, I will always be waiting in the shadows, lurking around, watching, waiting"
Sarutobi had until now remained silent spoke "Naruto, I'm sorry. Someone ignored my S-rank secrecy declaration and the news got around, I have some things I'd like to say to you before you go, so if you'd meet me in my office later today?"
Naruto nodded "Sure thing Jiji, I'll be there a little later today" Naruto then took off his hitai-ite and held it in his hand "Guess I won't be needing this anymore" He tossed it through the air and it bounced on the large table and slid across it, coming to a stop before Danzo. Naruto then glared one last time at the council members and flashed away in a swirl of fire.
Naruto reappeared back in the tower in the midst of a fight going on, Tenten was being thrashed by Temari in a giant cyclone of wind. Naruto ignored the fight and went over to Anko, Anko instantly noticed his lack of a hitai-ite and frowned "What happened?" She asked.
Naruto frowned "Just as I expected, they banished me from the village, I have until tomorrow to be gone"
Anko growled "Those fucking bastards! How dare they! Now what are we going to do?"
Naruto smiled warmly "Anko, you love me right?" Anko nodded "And I love you, so why don't you...come with me? I mean, what really ties you to this village anyway? Your friendship with Kurenai? If so no one banished you, you could come visit anytime you wanted to"
Anko couldn't believe that she hadn't thought to go with him. "Naru-kun, you're completely right, I will go with you! We'll lead a much better life, no rules, no bosses, we'll live the way we want to, with no more hateful glares, or sneering villagers"
Naruto couldn't help but grin at her sudden enthusiasm "Great, well Jiji said he wanted to talk to me before we go, so I guess you should get ready, you know? Pack up things you want to take with you, get prepared, say goodbye to friends, enemies that whole deal"
Anko nodded and took note of the fact that Tenten was now knocked out by Temari, and walked back over towards the two fighters "Temari is the winner, the next fight will be Kiba Inuzuka versus Kin Tsuchi. But before you guys begin I have to find you all a new proctor for the exams"
Sakura, who hadn't fought yet called out "Why do you have to find a new proctor Anko-san?"
Anko smirked "Because, Naru-kun was right, the village has banished him, and I'm leaving with him, so you're gonna need someone else to watch you all"
Everyone was shocked that Naruto had truly been banished, they all had thought that he was kidding, and all of the girls were devastated that he would be gone, they had all hoped beyond hope that he would get over Anko, that she was just some kind of phase, "So you guys are gone forever then?" Sakura asked.
Naruto shook his head "No, we won't be gone forever, I'll be watching, waiting. The council is going to lead this village to ruin. I'll be there when they make their mistake, and I'll fix everything back to it's proper place, even if I have to force it, I will slaughter the entire council and forcibly place myself as Hokage if I have to, whatever it takes, I will not allow this village to fall" Naruto finished his small speech and everyone that knew him well was stunned.
"Naruto, why would you be so willing to help this village after all they've done, all they've put you through, the pain, misery, torture even. Yet you still stand tall for the right side, fighting for good no matter the costs, why do you do it?" Sakura asked
Naruto shrugged "I don't know why I do what I do, but I do it, and I won't stop doing it, I guess I protect the village out of the fact that it is my birthplace, my original home, despite the hell hole that it was to me, plus you're all still here, my friends and allies. I can't just go and abandon you all and leave you all to fight and die on your own just because the village once again cast me out. Anyway, I need to go, I have some things to accomplish before we set off, so I shall see you all later. Look to the future, nothing but darkness awaits us, it's up to us, the next generation to fix the mistakes of the past" Naruto looked to Anko one last time, and disappeared in another swirl of fire.
Anko quickly turned back to the Genin "Alright, you have a small recess to do as you need, no fighting or you will disqualified and dealt with, I'm going to get you all a new proctor, I'll be back shortly" She then disappeared in a much less dazzling swirl of leaves, leaving the Genin to think about what transpired, and what Naruto had told them.
Naruto arrived in front of the Hokages office and knocked on the door, receiving a rushed 'Come in!' he opened the door and stepped in, and was quite shocked. The office was in shambles, or at least for Sarutobi it was. Papers were scattered about, the top of his desk was covered in various things and was all disorganized, the drawers of his desk had been pulled out and hastily jammed back in. Naruto quirked an eyebrow at the state of the office "Should I come back a little later perhaps?" He asked
Sarutobi looked up from the pile of papers he was sifting through and finally noticed that Naruto had entered and he shook his head "No, no. I just found everything I was looking for, I was getting prepared to tell you everything I could, and to help you out as much as I could"
Naruto's eyebrows rose up in curiosity "What exactly do you have to tell me Jiji? And help me? How?"
Sarutobi sighed, he hated lying to Naruto more then anything, and yet he had been forced to do it to the boy so much in the past, he hoped this wouldn't shatter his trust in him. "Naruto, tell me everything you know about your parents"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Man, Naruto's been further changed by the Kyuubi! What could possibly oppose him at this point? Fret not, he will have powerful enemies to oppose him later on in the fic when the major fighting starts.
What is Sarutobi about to tell him?
What are Anko and Naruto going to do now that Naruto's banished?
This is a heads up warning that in the next few chapters A LOT happens and REALLY fast, I tried to slow things down with some filler junk, but I still ended up with a lot of plot points happening quickly, hope no one gets pissed over a rapidly developing plot.
