Chapter 5

How to be Dead

Here we go!

Naruto opened his eyes. He looked around, another courtroom. No, the same one, there was Tsunade-sama and the council sitting directly in front of him, there was no choker this time but his body was tatooed with charkra maintaned seals, not permanent like Kyuubi's but just as useful.

"Naruto Namikaze, aka Naruto Uzimaki, you are charged with massive assault and masnslaughter. How do you plead?"

Naruto groaned, was everyone against him now. He opened his mouth to speak but was silenced by the Hokage.

"What the hell do I care what you plead. I'll tell you now the death penalty is what you'll get."

Naruto looked at one of the only people he thought cared for him, she showed him no emotion but anger and pain.

"wh-what?"

Tsunade threw the papers on her desk at Naruto.

"Silence demon!" 'Please Naruto, you dont know how hard this is already.'

Naruto bit back tears, his lip began to bleed profusley.

"Now we have several villagers here to help me choose the 'verdict' this will inevitably end in your death, but put on a good show or I swear I will make this as painful as possible."

Naruto nodded his head, rage filling his mind.

"First testimony, jonin Shikamaru Nara."

Naruto heard the name but didnt aknowlege it his mind still screaming in emotional agony. The said ninja walked in.

"Shikamaru Nara, what do you belief the verdict should be?"

Shikamaru looked at the hokage then Naruto, and smiled at him.

"Death."

Naruto, looked up in shock.

"What!? Why!?"

Shikamaru smirked at Naruto.

"You're a demon, you're a fucking idiot, and you're just a hinderence to everyone. We'd be better off without you."

Naruto roared, the most heartbroken sound a human being could make.

"Shikamaru, you were my friend-"

"No you insolent bastard! I felt sorry for you! I thought you were a victim of the demon's attacks, but now...they were Sakura's parents Naruto!"

Naruto frowned.

"I didnt kill anyone..."

Shikamaru looked at Naruto and uttered with no trace of remorse,

"Death, Tsunade-sama."

Several testimonies followed Shikamaru. Kakashi, Kiba, and Ino all gave the same heartless vote.

"Death."

Naruto's anger was ripping his mind to shreds, he was screaming, he was choking on his screams, his skin felt like it was on fire, then Sakura's testimony.

"Exile."

Naruto looked up, his pain momentarily stopped.

"Sakura?"

"Shut up! You killed my parents, you will never speak to me for as long as you live, you heartless bastard!"

Naruto felt a pang of sadness in his heart. He loved her and she hated him.

"Sakura Haruno, exile? Why do you choose this punishment."

Sakura looked at her Hokage.

"Everyone he ever cared for now Hates him. To go on living with no contact with them, knowing that he has no one in this world that loves him, is a punishment far worse than death."

Naruto suddenly snapped, this was terrible, what happened to him, who decided this, what god would curse this upon him?

"Sakura, this is a great idea. Naruto I hearby exile you. Permanatley."

Naruto gasped. With those words, he lost everything.

"Please kill me!"

The seals on Naruto's body exploded and he passed out.

He opened his eyes. It was dark, nightime dark. He was in the middle of a forest, somewhere. He heard a noise and ran in it's direction but eventually stopped. He was alone. He was exiled. He spun around and ripped a nearby tree out from the ground. He roared in agony at the midnight sky.

"Naruto..."

Naruto whipped his head in the direction of the noise and chased after it.

Tsunade looked at the five testiomonials, and sighed.

"If this goes wrong, all of you will pay, I swear it!"

The five realesed the hinge, revealing five members of the village council.

Naruto had been running in circles for hours, the voice calling his name several times, eventually he passed out from exhaustion.

Thats it for now, i apologize for short chaps, but id rather try to have a short one out everyday then take two or three on a long one.
