Chapter 2- Leaving and coming back.

Naruto was currently sitting up in his bed at the hospital. "Why Sasuke?" he thought. Sasuke was the only thing on his mind.

His thoughts were interrupted when he heard the door open and Shikamaru entered the room. "So you're awake after all." He said.

"Shikamaru…" said Naruto in a sad voice. Then looked away from his friend.

While in the entrance of the hospital Sakura and Ino were getting the room numbers for their team mates. "I'm going to see Chouji first, how about you?" asked Ino.

"I'm going to see Naruto and Sasuke-kun first." Answered Sakura.

"I see." Said Naruto. " So everyone was alright after all, I'm glad."

Shikamaru noticed the sad look on Naruto's face "And what about Sasuke?"

"Yeah…he got away." Naruto said sadly.

Unfortunately Sakura was standing at the door and heard every word and was devastated.

Tsunade was walking down a hall to go visit Naruto when she noticed Sakura standing by the door. "You came to pay a visit, information spreads quickly."

Tsunade opened the door and walked in with Sakura, who had a sad look on her face.

"Sakura-chan"

Her eyes suddenly filled with tears, and she ran out of the room.

"Wait Sakura-chan!" Naruto yelled and tried to get out of the bed but fell to the floor.

"Naruto your still too injured to walk." Tsunade inquired. "Don't worry she'll come around.'

Naruto couldn't stand the guilt of breaking his promise "I'm sorry Sakura-chan"

Later that day Naruto left the hospital without permission and went home. He was packing his bags to leave the village.

Off in the distance in the Hokage tower, Shizune was running to her master's office, "Tsunade-sama!" She yelled as she barged into Tsunades office. 'What's wrong Shizune?"

"Uzumaki Naruto has left the hospital and we can't find him." Said Shizune

"Place ANBU at all of the gates in the village." Tsunade ordered

"Hai!" Shizune said and with that she left.

Naruto was moving quickly and quietly through the village when he arrived at the main gate he notice ANBU standing guard "Damn they already know I left" he leapt off to another gate which also had ANBU standing guard.

He had an idea he went to an unguarded area of the village's wall "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" and a clone appeared right next to him he held his hand out and his clone started to form a Rasengan. "Rasengan!" and he slammed it into the ground and kept doing so until he was on the other side of the wall.

"Now to start training so I can rescue Sasuke." Naruto thought to himself and took off at top speed.

"Tsunade-sama we've looked everywhere and we cant find Naruto the Hyuga's who helped us search couldn't find him either, it seems Naruto escaped from a man-made hole on the southeastern part of the village wall, he's long gone by now." Reported Shizune

"Naruto." Tsunade thought to herself tears filling her eyes.

The news spread throughout the village, the rookie 9 and team Gai were saddened by the news, but many of the villagers were overjoyed by the news the "Demon" boy was now gone.

Three years passed and Naruto was a subject that no one liked to speak about and it was ordered by Tsunade herself that no one was to speak of him.

But that didn't stop people from missing him, Jiraiya disappeared for several weeks at a time in search of his apprentice but always came back empty.

It was three years ago on this particular day in Konoha that Naruto left the village. And everyone was grieving and didn't pay any attention to the outside world.

Off in the distance a lone traveler was walking on an old dirt path he had blonde hair and blue eyes, this of course you know is our very own Uzumaki Naruto.

"I wonder if they missed me, probably not, but I'm going back regardless."

He wasn't too far from his home village, when it came into sight he was hoping for a welcoming sight but instead all he saw was destruction, "W-what the hell happened!"

Naruto ran as fast as he could to the village and when he entered everything was destroyed bodies everywhere "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED!" he yelled.

"N-Naruto…" said a weak voice not to far away.

Naruto heard the voice and rushed over to where it was, it was Sakura, "S-Sakura-chan, what the hell happened!" he demanded.

She was covered in blood and had various wounds all over her, "It was…It was Sasuke-kun." She said with all her strength and then she died.

"Sasuke!" Naruto screamed in his mind, he placed his left hand over Sakura's eyes and moved his hand down to close them, "I'm sorry Sakura-chan."

"Are you sad now, Naruto?" said a voice from behind.

"I know that voice anywhere." He turned his head "Sasuke!"

"Why the hell did you do this, Sasuke?" Naruto yelled

"So I could test my strength for when I fight Itachi." Sasuke explained.

"Hehe." Chuckled Naruto.

"What's so damn funny about that?" Sasuke snarled angrily.

"I just think it's funny that you're still trying to kill Itachi, because you never will." Naruto replied.

This got Sasuke really pissed "Don't try to mess with my head!" He yelled. "What makes you think that I can't kill my brother!"

"Because…I've already killed him, and the rest of the Akatsuki" Naruto said.

"That's impossible a person like you could never do something like that." Sasuke getting even more pissed.

"Well I'm not the same person you knew anymore, you don't stand a chance against me, just like the Akatsuki." Naruto simply replied.

That crossed the line in of Sasuke's anger. "Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu!" A giant fireball erupted from Sasuke's mouth aimed at Naruto.

When the fire subsided Naruto wasn't there, "Is that the best you've got Sasuke?"

"Katon: Mythical Fire Flower no Jutsu!" five small fireballs shot out at Naruto.

"Suiton: Suikoudon no Jutsu!" (Water element, Water Shark Missile)

Naruto's dragon clashed with Sasuke's fireballs, the missile knocked Sasuke a little ways back. "grrr." Sasuke growled "He can't be better than me!" Sasuke yelled in his head.

"I thought you were finished killing everyone Sasuke-kun?" said a voice. It was the snake sannin Orochimaru. "Oh what's this, little Naruto how nice of you to join us."

"Well if it isn't the snake-bastard Orochimaru." Naruto replied.

"I don't care much for your pitiful insults, especially after I've completed my goal, the destruction of Konoha, taking care of the two who would be able to stop me was quite easier than I thought." Said Orochimaru,

Naruto noticed what Orochimaru was holding, he was holding the bodies of Tsunade and Jiraiya, His eyes widened, "Ero-sannin, Tsunade-obaa-chan." Naruto said sadly "You, You BASTARD! I'm going to kill both of you!"

Red chakra was consuming Naruto's body, 1 tail "I' , 2 tails "Will", 3 tails "Kill", 4 tails "You", 5 tails "For", 6 tails "Destroying", 7 tails "My", 8 tails "Village", 9 tails…

A/N: Cliff hanger I know but next chapter Naruto will be having a discussion with the Kyuubi about his second chance so R&R please.
