AN: Chapter two and the fic is still alive, again mostly a development point for Naruto and his Trickster persona. Remember he is still learning how to perfect his Tricks so to speak, and he also wants to tag more Victims.
Now I want to go more into the whole Victim thing, basically they represent the lives of people he will now harass until they die. Sasuke is the first because Naruto loathes arrogant bastards such as Sasugay. Personally I have nothing against the Sasuke character, however in this fic he will be less of an Avenger and more of a Protector.
And before any of you ask there will be no Batman in this fic, only my version of the Joker as the Trickster, and possibly a Shinobi version of Harley Quinn.
Disclaimer: I no own Naruto or Batman.
Chapter Two
-Take A Bow-
The Trickster gazed out at the chaos he had caused after a few weeks, mass panic and confusion as explosions constantly rocked the city. Flames expanding constantly as the ANBU scrambled to find the cause of the destruction, as if they would. Naruto had acquired a few more implements for his Tricks, a metal chain that he kept hidden under the right sleeve under his coat. He had also coated all of the blades on his person with the poison he had retrieved a while ago. And finally a pair of black leather gloves that he had modified to increase his strength by 1.25 times.
Giggling at the mayhem he now had the urge to visit his Victim No. 1. Namely a certain Uchiha that was confined to a hospital bed. Leaping into the air he landed in the street and strolled by the havoc of the nights events. Whistling an odd tune and twiddling one of his blades between his fingers. The civilians and Shinobi need not notice him as they concentrated on extinguishing the flames.
With a certain skip to his step he entered the hospital, ignoring the horrified screams of patients and doctors. Bounding into the elevator he only noticed one young nurse that looked to be around seventeen and shaking, with short cropped ebony hair and emerald green eyes. Grinning to her he selected the floor he wished to go to and hummed patiently.
Unexpectedly he looked at her and asked, "What's your name miss?"
"A-Akiko Mishima." She stuttered whilst cowering into a corner.
He smiled kindly to her, "Nice name, and a cute girl to back it up with. I'm The Trickster, pleasure to make your acquaintance. How's the night been for you so far?" He queried with a normal grin for once.
Still frightened she took her time to answer, "A-ano... O-ok I g-guess, Trickster-san."
"Well that is certainly good to hear, although you don't seem as thrilled as my other audience." He rubbed his chin and stepped closer, "You don't seem as afraid as my fans usually are. Tell me why?"
Her answer was quick and easy, "Because I only fear for the patients lives." She shyly said.
Naruto snapped his fingers as if by realization, "That's it! That must be it! Fear of others excludes fear for your own existence! Now let's take this theory to the next level. If I... Oh, I Dunno, did this-" He unsheathed his Kodachi and held it to her throat, "What do you fear right now?" He smirked psychotically.
She gulped before replying with fear now evident, "Y-you ending my life right now."
He sheathed his blade before nodding quickly, "It is only when in direct contact with fear that you also fear for your own existence." The doors opened and Naruto seemed to have the moment catch up with him. "Whoops, sorry cutie but this is my stop! We'll continue this later, alright?" And with that he bolted down the hall, ignoring the screams of the patients.
Akiko then collapsed to the floor and calmed her beating heart, that was one of the few encounters with death she had in her life so far. Suffice to say it was odd and quite frankly no one would believe her...
There were two Jounin stationed at the door to Sasukes' room, and both pulled out kunai at the sign of the skipping Trickster. They had bth heard the reports on how he dealt with his attackers, and did not underestimate him one little bit. Stopping before them the Green haired youth saluted with a grin to the men.
"Evening gentlemen, by any chance is Uchiha-teme in there?" He queried with a smile.
"And what if he is?" One asked whilst edging away slowly from the killer-clown.
"Oh, I just came to deliver a message if you would be so kind as to let me pass." He said whilst stepping forward, hands hidden by his sleeves.
One snorted before getting into a basic stance, "As if, we know who you are, Mister The Trickster."
Naruto nodded his head and folded his arms with a grin. "So my reputation precedes me, would you men like an autograph?" He said pulling out two pieces of paper.
They took defensive positions at the sight of the paper, "No thankyou, we have strict orders to not accept anything from you and inform ANBU black ops of any appearances of you. If I were you I'd turn myself in before this got ugly."
Naruto smiled sadly, "And if I were you I'd accept these autographs, ahh oh well, can't please everybody. Catch you later gentlemen!" He dropped the paper and walked off without a care in the world.
The men just stared at him with no words to express the gratitude they felt towards kami for living. Cautiously they each picked up a piece of paper, they were surprised to see a containment seal on each. Shrugging to one another they applied chakra to the seals, the last thing they ever did as a multitude of bladed weapons shot out and diced the men to pieces.
Naruto reappeared laughing loudly, the blood from his latest victims corpses strewn along the walls with knives sticking into the walls. He had ever so slightly modified the containment seal so that the items inside would blast out in the direction the seal was facing. This was the first time he had made practical use of it as an ambush weapon and was very pleased with the results. But this was one of the few Tricks he had made during the last few nights.
But getting back to matters at hand he casually knocked on the door to the Uchiha's room, "Uuuchiiiiihaaaa! Can I come in and perform for you!" He grinned as he heard no answer, "I'll take that as a yes then." Taking a step back he slammed a kick into the door, knocking it off its hinges and onto the floor. He was mildly surprised at what he saw, Sasuke had vanished and the room was empty, along with the lights being off. Whistling he strolled in to take a look around, it was then that he noticed the window was open, walking forward he precariously shut the window and turned around.
Only to come face to face with an angry Sasuke and a reverse roundhouse kick, grinning wildly he allowed the attack to connect and he was slammed into the floor. Sasuke had only recently come out of shock and was still tired, he had some gauze wrapped around his new scar. He also wore a black shirt and his dark blue boxers, along with the switchblade knife in his hand that Naruto had left for him. He gripped it tightly in his left palm and took a basic stance, Naruto flipped himself up and spat out a mouthful of blood grinning.
"Nice Sasuke, Nice. However, you made one crucial mistake when trying to confront me." He wagged his finger before reaching into his coat.
Sasuke glared, "And what might that be bastard?"
Naruto grinned before pulling out Sasukes' old pair of Kogatana, "Never bring a knife to a sword fight dumbass!" He charged whilst slashing wildly and seemingly at random.
Sasuke was forced back as he could barely deflect the longer blades with his smaller one. Narrowly avoiding would could have been fatal slashes, he threw the flick-blade in desperation only for it to be deflected by one of his old blades. Naruto finally got the Uchiha to the wall and held one blade to his throat and the other to his chest.
He smirked madly at the Uchiha, "Now we've got ourselves into a little situation here. If you punch my gut I'll slice your throat, if you knock away my blade at your throat I'll stab your chest. So do you want to listen or fight? Hm? It's your choice Teme."
Sasuke glared before straining to speak, "I'll listen, you freak." Naruto smiled before removing his hand from the throat only to backhand the arrogant heir.
"Better watch your manners, teme. Want me to tell you how I got these scars?" He asked with a mad grin. With slight curiosity, Sasuke nodded, "It was a fair while ago now. You see I was a very serious guy, never smiled properly. And I always asked myself, 'Why So Serious?' So one day I looked at myself in the mirror. 'Why So Serious?' I asked myself, I pulled out a knife, like this one here. 'Why So Serious?' I put it in in my mouth, 'Why SO SERIOUS?' And I had a great idea, 'Let's put a smile on that face.' And then I decided to always see the funny side of things, now I'm always smiling!" He exclaimed gleefully.
Sasuke stared in horror at the freak of nature in front of him. "You're insane." He said calmly.
Naruto dropped the smile and glared at the Uchiha, "What have I told you about minding your manners, Teme? You need to lighten up a little... Lets put a smile on that face!" And Sasukes' eyes widened in horror as he put the blade on the side of his face. He grunted as Naruto applied pressure on the blade and slowly formed a Glasgow grin using a thin pair of cuts. "Do you see the funny side of things yet, Uchiha? Well? DO YOU?" He bellowed with laughter as Sasuke screamed at what the Trickster had done now.
"Why are you doing this! What have I done to deserve this you bastard!" Sasuke screamed as he felt the small wounds begin to bleed. Naruto got in close gin with that crazed smile of his.
"To set an example to all the other arrogant bastards in Konoha! Your time of reckoning is upon you, too long have you all schemed and crafted the world to your own desires! I'm an Agent of Chaos that will bring everything to the way it should be! Anarchy will be the law and order of the world! Everything Burns!" He roared with laughter as the ANBU crashed in through the windows.
"Cease and desist! We outnumber you Trickster!" The captain ordered whilst grabbing his Ninja Tou. Naruto cackled whilst allowing Sasuke to fall to the ground.
"Time to take a Bow!" He opened up his palms to reveal his modified containment seals on the palms of his gloves. "My Final Performance for the NIGHT!" He applied chakra and watched with satisfaction as a hail of shuriken tore the ANBU to shreds before they could even scream. Laughing wildly he looked to the camera and saluted whilst smiling casually. "The Trickster bids all you bitches and bastards a good night! You've all been a perfect audience!"
He grinned at Sasuke one final time before tossing back the signature flick-blade and his pair of Kogatana. "See you later Uchiha-teme! Remember that you need to smile some more! Or you'll be very sorry!" With a final cackle he leapt out of the window to disappear for the night...
Naruto neatly folded away his attire into his closet with a gleeful grin, last night had been the most fun yet. The implementations for his new seal had opened up new barriers for himself in the art of weapons and his Tricks. Lounging on his couch in nothing but a white towel he felt pleased with himself, the village now knew of his alias. Things were only going to get better and better for him in the coming weeks, he just knew it.
It was the early daylight hours of another Saturday and Naruto intended to spend it stocking up on weapons. So after hoisting himself out of the couch he head to his room and decided to go for a different look for shopping. A pair of black pants and long sleeved black shirt were the base with a plain white sleeveless jacket with a hood. He also decided on a whim to wear his Trickster boots with the hidden blades.
Heading out of the complex he applied the hood to shadow his features and hide his blonde hair. He then subconsciously admired the remains of the previous nights performance, the smouldering ruins of many stores. Nearly the entire Shinobi force was out patrolling the streets and rooftops, however the blonde knew that they would not find anything. Shinobi did not use forensics or any form of science to aid in capturing a criminal.
Instead they use surveillance to detect a criminal, then would send a team to detain the dangerous person as soon as possible. Another method was sending out a bounty for the mans head, along with a ranking and hints of favoured abilities. And that was what the Shinobi forces had done, sending word to any Oinin and Bounty Nin for any assistance. Pinching one of the flyers he looked at the price on The Tricksters' head; 500,000,000.00 ryou if alive, 175,000,000.00 ryou if dead.
Naruto inwardly smirked while whistling, that was quite a lot of cash for one criminal. And only high A-Class at that, Itachi was S-Class and didn't have a bounty that high. Tucking the flyer in his jacket he went for one of the small weapon stores that he hadn't destroyed yet. Walking in he saw it was crowded with Chuunin and Genin stocking up on equipment for a chance at all the money. When you had that amount of cash you could retire early, as was often the case of successful Bounty Nin.
Going to the armour section he stared at leather bracers that were on sale along with a blade attachment at the bottom. Whilst it struck him as a good weapon it didn't seem his style, sighing he went to the empty scroll section and pulled out a few dozen. Wanting to spice things up a little he opted for Makibishi and senbon which were also on sale, opening his wallet he saw he had just the right amount. Shoving his way through to the counter he put them all in a bag and left the money on the counter for the owners to discover later.
Leaving the chaotic store he entered the bustling streets again to see many Bounty Nin had arrived already in the early morning hours armed to the teeth with many exotic weapons. Hiding a smirk he easily walked past them without suspecting a thing, they would be easy to deal with. He also noted that not one of them smiled at any time, 'Tonight I'll change that, the Funny Side is quite appealing.' He thought with hidden glee, a lot more smiles were going to be made tonight.
Retreating back to his apartment he set to work on loading up the scrolls with all his newly acquired weapons. It was a strenuous task as he had to be careful with the actual seal itself, one small screw-up and the seal would explode when chakra is applied. And since it was a custom seal it would require extra attention with the tweaking. After four hours he had four scrolls made for the night, two Senbon, one Makibishi and the final being Shuriken. It was then that he recalled that he needed more money or the Sandaime would get suspicious if he found all the Blondes' money gone.
Groaning at the looming prospect he decided to choose a bank now to acquire new money from. Cleaning up all the ink and placing the scrolls in his closet he left for the least appealing prospect for the night. Stealing unused weapons and clothes is ok, stealing some other persons hard earned cash was not ok. However he knew it was going to be necessary to bend his normal morals for the greater good. The greater good being the continuation of his Tricks for Konoha to view for a good amount of time.
Entering the streets again he blended right in to the crowd and passed many banks, one caught his eyes. It was almost as large as the Hokage tower and was guarded by many samurai, it also seemed that all of the smaller banks funds and documents were being transferred here. A Cohort of ANBU were visibly making a perimeter in case of any attack, sniggering at the pitiful defence he turned on his heel for his apartment. A plan already forming in his twisted mind...
The Trickster prepared for what he hoped would be a fun night, storing the scrolls in the vests pockets he restrapped on his belts of knives and decided to wrap his battle-chain along his right leg. Pulling on his gloves and strapping his Kodachi he was ready and giggled with giddiness at the new night. Taking a precaution this time from the increased security he leapt out of the window and into a shadowed alley. Where an opened drain entrance was located, grinning madly he allowed himself to fall into the dank sewerage system.
He held his nose whilst grinning, "Smells worse than a fat mans indigestion!" He laughed loudly at his own joke before trudging through the tunnels. Giggling at how easy this was going to be, those Bounty Nin were in for a big surprise alright...
Kokoro had been in the Bounty Nin business for quite a while now, at thirty three he thought he had seen every twisted ninja psycho out there. From suicidal Jounin to mistreated Genin he had grown a rep for bringing the target back, alive and detained. But nothing could have prepared him for the madness that was to ensue tonight.
He was a good six and a half feet tall and wore a black cloak with a pair of scythes strapped to his back, a full suit of leather armour hidden underneath along with hefty chain-mail. He crouched hidden in the trees of the park, many other Bounty Nin, Oinin and village Shinobi were flashing everywhere. Searching for the elusive Trickster and his tell tale signs of explosives. It was already nine at night and there was no sign of the terrorist anywhere.
Usually he began the second after sunset with setting many small businesses on fire, the destruction would then spread to the woods and finally some place of political importance. It was then that he heard a deep rumbling, and it kept building and building until the very streets themselves exploded with fire.
Realization then hit him, The Trickster was underground and exploding he roads using the sewer system. Kokoro pulled out the wanted flyer and looked into the saluting form of the killer-clown and had to admit the kid was ingenious. Sighing he waited for the stream of explosions to end before leaping out of the trees to find his prey...
Naruto laughed as the explosions stopped, he had delayed his performance in order to prepare a Grand Entrance. Placing a tag above him he took cover as the roof collapsed, directly under the banks vault. Peeking his head through he whistled at the large amount of stacked cash in the massive area. Hefting himself in he pulled out a blank scroll and ink, setting to work on making the containment seals.
Quickly finishing he eyed a crate that was crammed with wads of notes and jewels. Giggling he push it over and performed the brief ritual of sealing it inside his scroll. Whistling a happy tune he pocketed the scroll and allowed himself to fall into the sewer system again. Heading the opposite way he came he twirled one of his kunai while looking for a suitable exit.
After a kilometre he saw one that lead into a small alley barely visible outside. Flicking up a tag he took cover as the explosion made a hole for him to exit out of. Leaping out through the exit he roared out for all of the Shinobi to hear, "Evening bitches and bastards! Tonight's entertainment has begun! Introducing the always loved Mr. The Trickster!"
Bounty Nin were on him immediately in all directions, smirking he held out his palms and spun. The torrent of Shuriken tearing many of the Nin to shreds before their corpses landed. When the few survivors landed, Naruto threw an explosive note directly under him. Jumping up the explosion created a hole in the roof of an abandoned motel, which he promptly fell into while waving goodbye to the men and women. "Chow!"
They instantly followed, only for the first pursuer to be promptly decapitated by twine held just below the entrance by a pair of kunai. Kokoro cursed silently as he entered and avoided an explosive trap that went off on contact. Grunting he quickly analysed his singed arm and noticed the damage was minimum, only himself and another Bounty Nin.
This one was female and looked very young with a slim figure and wearing ANBU attire, only without the mask. She had blonde hair strung back into a tail and pale blue eyes. She had only had some hair cut off from the wire and only barely avoided the blast radius being the last one inside. She eyed him warily as he searched around the abandoned building for tell-tale signs of the mischievous kid.
"Oi, what's your name old man?" She asked out of the blue.
"... Kokoro, what about yours?" He replied carefully.
"Aiko, looks like we're after the same brat. He does have some skills after all." She said with hidden praise at the man.
Kokoro nodded, the kid terroist was different from his many other adversaries. From what he observed he mainly used seals and explosives along with sharp weapons to get the job done. Although that was a no-brainer, but this kid used surprise tactics and ambush to win a fight, he never stayed for a prolonged fight over thirty seconds. Which indicated another thing, as insane as the kid was in his current state he still held reasoning over brute force. And explosive tags seemed to work wonders for blitzkrieg tactics like the ones he used.
Kokoro finally realized why he was A-Class and not S. "Aiko, I think I know what the kids weakness is." He spoke after grabbing out one of his scythes.
She stared at him expectantly, "Well don't think on it, any information is useful here."
Grunting with slight annoyance he explained, "He never stays in a fight after he gives away the surprise in his moves. Like just before, after he took out the others he quickly retreated down here and set up a quick surprise for anyone who followed. He uses hit and regroup tactics with a large kick, he would not survive in a prolonged battle." He gained a gleam in his eye and she smirked as realization dawned on her as well.
But it was quickly replaced with a frown, "But how can we engage in a long battle without him becoming Sparky Sparky Boom Man on us?" She exaggerated whilst thinking intently.
"Well first we'll need to bide our time, he'll be distracted by all the others until we can get a solid plan-"
He was cut off, "Hold on a sec there! Exactly how much of the cash are you after here, otherwise I'm not helping ya." She crossed her arms.
Sweat dropping he cleared his throat. "To be fair I propose we go sixty forty, with the sixty being mine, I am looking for a retirement soon." He explained casually.
"No way mate! I got a sick brother to look after and I need the money to pay for his surgery. I ain't settling for less than fifty one percent in my favour!" She barked and cracked her knuckles for good measure.
He twitched before grinding his teeth together, "Fine, if you can help me catch him alive... Then we'll split the cash your way. Now as I was saying, we need to ambush him and catch him off guard, the only way we can do that is when I distract him. How stealthy are you?" He queried seriously.
Shrugging she answered simply, "I'm an Ex-ANBU black ops Lieutenant back in Kiri, I'd say A Bordering S-Class at best."
He nodded with a small smile, "That'll have to do, what weapons do you have on you?"
"Just ten Shuriken, six Kunai, a Wakizashi and some twine, wasn't planning on capturing alive. How about you?"
Kokoro sighed with a slight blush, "Three Kunai, Six Shuriken and my pair of Scythes."
She twitched and sat down angrily, "Then how the hell are we gonna distract an explosive madman like the Trickster? Bunshin are a no-go, fire Jutsu would edge him on and water isn't in good supply here."
Kokoro thought intently for a few minutes, "I have one idea that might work, it's risky but might work if executed perfectly. Here's what we have to do..."
Naruto casually strolled down an undamaged street whistling and twirling his Kunai without a care in the world. Unless you count a couple dozen dead bodies of nondescript Bounty Nin and Genin. His Performance was going smoothly and he had nearly set a third of the village on fire, however it didn't seem as fulfilling as before. He was horrified to think on it, but maybe, just maybe, he was getting bored at these endless Tricks.
It had only been three weeks and he was already bored of this village being set on fire repeatedly by his nightly Acts. Sighing he didn't laugh for a while, stopping he stared at the smoke filled sky and the barely concealed full moon. Wondering what he should do, the thrill of vengeance still appealed to him, but had lost some of it's flare, so to speak.
In his thinking he barely managed to avoid the hand that came shooting out of the earth. Mildly surprised he twisted in midair before landing and preparing to throw his Kunai with a gleeful smile. A new confrontation always brought a childlike happiness to him, something he had been denied of too long.
Kokoro hefted himself out of the ground and pulled out one of his Scythes and took a basic attack stance with the blade behind him. Having landed already, Naruto then used his free hand to pull out a trio of notes and reel his arms back. "Such a dedicated fan deserves an Encore me-thinks." He grinned madly at the Bounty Nin for the second time.
Kokoro then spoke normally, "Trickster, I will only warn you once to come with me before I confront you violently. We can both be on our own agenda easily that way."
Naruto snorted before standing up normally, "Are you not an admirer of my Acts. If so then why warn me of violence, I have lived it my whole life and life it seems wants me to give back to the world. You can collect your reward when I take my final Bow for the night. Because that's the only way you're gonna get right now." He smirked wildly, and then gained a mildly surprised look when his hands are pulled behind his back and he is pushed to his knees.
"Got him Kokoro! Now let's go pick up the cash before it gets to mornin'!" Aiko yelled out. To their surprise they heard a deep chuckle come from the blonde, which expanded to an open laugh. Which finally evolved into a full blown cackle as they stared at the killer clown with raised eyebrows. Calming down to a few giggles he turned his head to face Aiko.
"Do you take me for an idiot? I knew this was gonna happen someday. Although not when or how exactly to the letter. So I made sure for a final Trick to be Performed if this ever happened. Look beneath my vest, bitch." He grinned as she carefully unzipped the clothing slowly whilst keeping her grip on the terrorist. "See."
Both Bounty Nin were horrified to discover that the child's entire chest was covered in highly explosive tags. Aiko began to sweat as the boy grinned, before he spoke again, "Now if you would be so kind, release me and step away. Or it'll be damn hard to collect the money with no physical remains as proof."
Aiko was torn in what to decide, let him go and get no money or keep holding him and die. Kokoro put down his Scythes and small-armaments, subconsciously willing for Aiko to do the same. Backing away slowly he knew the kid was serious and would rather die then be executed publicly. Strangely the same way, only the thing was he would have to wait for an execution.
Slowly, Aiko released the kid and leapt back, an angry frown on her face. Turning to her he lost his grin for an instant."Hey, blonde chick, wanna know how I got these scars?" He flicked out a Kunai and motioned using his face. Slowly she nodded, mild curiosity that she would regret. "It was a fair while ago now. You see I was a very serious guy, never smiled properly. And I always asked myself, 'Why So Serious?' So one day I looked at myself in the mirror. 'Why So Serious?' I asked myself, I pulled out a knife, like this one here. 'Why So Serious?' I put it in in my mouth, 'Why SO SERIOUS?' And I had a great idea, 'Let's put a smile on that face.' And then I decided to always see the funny side of things, now I'm always smiling!" He exclaimed gleefully.
Kokoro felt like vomiting on the spot, what kind of jacked up kid would do that to themselves as a joke? A freaking joke for Kamis' sake? Naruto then looked at Kokoro, "You never seem to see the Funny Side of things? Why is that?"
Kokoro lost his urge to throw-up and stared gravely at the psycho, "I have a pregnant wife I need to pay for back in Ame. This was supposed to be my last Job, the one that ended the constant nightmare of dealing with freaks like you." He sighed wistfully, "But, I guess, I have to settle for getting rid of bandits for a few months."
Aiko then stepped forward, "My older brother was diagnosed with a curable case of leprosy. The surgery cost over 20,000,000,00 ryou, and then there's the constant care for six months which will cost another 20,000,000.00 ryou. And finally all of my familys' debts they left me with, over 200,000,000.00 ryou. Splitting the money if we caught you alive would have allowed me to settle down, if only for a little while."
Naruto then sat and thought on this, "I may be a guy that has all the fun, but even I can see when someone's in serious trouble. I have a pretty tricky plan, but if it works we all get what we want, time for the Trickster to have his final bow for Konoha..."
You ask me why I never smile. Why I never laugh with joy. Why can I never find happiness in simple things?
Why can't I just be normal?
I laugh.
You say it sounds like a hyena with a throat full of blood.
I frown.
You ask me to feel the energy of life. You say to just open, to let it all in. You say to dance with the wind and listen to the birds music.
I tell you there is no wind. All I hear is sorrow. All I feel is pain.
And you frown.
I lock myself in, my palms are sweaty. Your pounding at the door, yet I hear nothing.
Why can't I be normal? I make the incision.
Why can I never find happiness? I drive the blade deep.
Why don't I smile? The door crashes open. How you scream.
I smile.
Oh how I smile, with my new Glasgow Grin.
AN: Slightly longer than the last chapter. Now as I have stated before the first five or so chapters will be the prelude, which is why everything is so fast packed. It well get better when the actual plot comes in. And that is when the Chapters will get REALLY long, instead of five thousand words they should be up in the ten thousand mark.
Kokoro and Aiko will be vital parts as they will be his allies for most of the mayhem he creates. And the reason I want Naruto to Leave Konoha, well it's pretty simple; Konoha is usually the main village in the series. I wanna spice it up a little so we are gonna have a little vote here.
Which of the following villages should Naruto retreat to:
Ame
Kiri
Kusa
Oto(unlikely)
Suna
Or suggest a custom small village.
R&R Zenzeigan.
