Chapter 2
" What happened, Tsunade-sama?" Shizune asked as she poured a cup of sake for Tsunade.
" Well… it seems he told Sasuke and Sakura about the Kyuubi…" Tsunade replied as she sighed.
" Tsunade-sama… Do you think… Naruto would hate… the Yondaime?" Shizune asked.
" I don't think so… Naruto does know that Arashi is his father…" Jiraiya answered.
" Jir… Jiraiya-sama!!" Shizune gasped.
" Jiraiya… Don't pop out of nowhere like that…" Tsunade warned.
" Okay, Okay… mind pouring me a cup of sake?" Jiraiya asked Shizune. Shizune did as told.
" Tsunade-sama, Jiraiya-sama, May I take my leave?" Shizune asked.
" Yes." Tsunade replied.
" So what happened anyway?" Jiraiya asked. He walked towards Naruto and stroked his hair slightly.
" He told Sasuke and Sakura about the Kyuubi." Tsunade drank another cup of sake.
" Finally…"
" Finally?"
" Yeah, I knew he wouldn't keep this a secret forever… But, it seemed so fast…"
" Fast? Now that you said it… It is fast…"
" Let's just hope nothing bad happens…"
Suddenly, the door burst opened as team 7, well… Kakashi, Sasuke and Sakura rushed in.
" You're going to pay if that door spoils!!" Tsunade yelled.
" Sorry Hokage-sama, but Naruto's… Naruto?" The trio looked at Naruto, who was still fast asleep. Then there was a long silent…
…until a knock on the door broke it.
" Come in." It was Shizune with a packed ramen from the Ichiraku. Somehow, Naruto got up right away when he smelled ramen.
" It's the ramen from Ichiraku!! Thanks Shizune nii-chan!!" Naruto grinned. Jiraiya, Tsunade and Shizune smiled at this.
Naruto mumbled a soft 'Itadakimasu' before eating.
Everyone stared at him.
" You know… It's not nice having people staring at you while you eat." Naruto said, before continuing to finish his ramen. They fell into silence.
" Hokage-sama, is it true that Naruto is the vessel of the Kyuubi?" Sasuke asked. Naruto coughed, hard. Tears were forming at his eyes again.
" Here." Shizune offered Naruto a glass of water.
" Ne, baa-chan… I can take this." Naruto said, trying not to cry. Shizune sat beside Naruto while Jiraiya took the other side.
" That is right Uchiha-san." Tsunade replied, not even bothering to look at them. She kept her eyes on Naruto. Jiraiya ruffled Naruto's hair gently.
" The Yondaime… Is he really the father of Naruto?" Sakura asked. Surprisingly, Sasuke glared at Sakura. Tsunade replied anyway.
" Yes. And Jiraiya here- " Tsunade said, but was cut-off by Naruto.
" Ero-sensei was the teacher of my father."
" Then, Arashi became the sensei of Hatake-san." Jiraiya added.
" I became Naruto's sensei." Kakashi said.
Naruto stood up. He walked to the door and called the two ANBUs.
" Tasuya nii-san!! Reken nii-san!!"
The two ANBUs walked in, and bowed to Tsunade.
" Nii-san, could you get Iruka-sensei for me?" Naruto asked. They nodded.
" Thanks. Tell him it's er… an emergency!!" Naruto smiled.
" Sure." Tasuya and Reken replied. They both ruffled Naruto's head and disappeared in a poof.
" You are really going to do this?" Tsunade asked. Naruto nodded.
" I've made my choice." Was all Naruto said.
" Kakashi. I want you to sign here." Tsunade said, taking out a piece of paper. Kakashi didn't move. Naruto sighed.
" I really should thank Kyuu for teaching me this…" Naruto mumbled. Sasuke raised an eyebrow. He activated his Sharingan, just in case.
Naruto shot out a hand, in the direction of Kakashi. He then closed his eyes.
" What are you trying to do?" Sakura said defensively. Naruto opened his eyes, smirking.
Kakashi felt himself being pulled to Tsunade's table. He took a pen and signed.
" What did you do?!" Kakashi demanded.
" YES!! IT WORKED!! I DID IT!!" Naruto yelled. Jiraiya hit him in the head.
" OW!! Hey it's not nice to hit a person in the head ya know. Anyway, I simply just push a bit of my chakra, or rather Kyuu's chakra into your body. That chakra controlled you and made you do what you're told." Naruto explained, glaring at Jiraiya.
" Tsunade-sama." Iruka greeted.
" Iruka, I need you to sign this." Tsunade said, pointing to the paper Kakashi just signed.
" Are you sure about this?" Iruka asked. Naruto nodded.
" Sure!! I've got all of you with me!!" Naruto grinned. Iruka smiled and signed on the paper.
" Can I have a little speech?" Naruto asked. Tsunade, Jiraiya and Iruka looked and each other.
" I don't know. Maybe they won't be able to take it." Iruka replied.
Naruto pouted before saying, " Then baa-chan will go first." Naruto hid behind Jiraiya.
" Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura, Naruto will no longer be on Team 7." Tsunade said.
" WHAT?!" Sakura yelled.
" Who's team will he be on?" Kakashi asked.
" Why." Sasuke asked.
" No one. Naruto will be independent." Tsunade replied to Kakashi's question.
" My turn!!" Naruto said.
" To put it simply, Team 7 has been the worst team of the Rookie 9." Naruto started. Sasuke glared, Sakura looked like she could kill (not that she really can…) and Kakashi was speechless.
" As genin teams, what a team requires is teamwork. And everyone can see that Team 7 has absolutely no teamwork." Naruto continued.
" Other than that, let's go on to the individuals. Uchiha Sasuke, all you ever do is think of revenge. You'll even join an S-class dangerous snake freak just for the sake of revenge. Let me tell you this, don't think that just because you are the only Uchiha left, you'll get everything for granted." Naruto said; his voice had no emotions. Sasuke only stared at Naruto.
" Next Haruno Sakura, all that you care about is your all-so-precious Sasuke-kun. I can tell you; even Ino is better than you. Frankly speaking, you are the worst shinobi I've ever met." Naruto continued. Sakura burst out crying.
" And finally, Hatake Kakashi. Well congratulations, you've become a trash yourself." Jiraiya chuckled.
" All that you're concerned about is Uchiha-san. Don't think that because Obito gave you his Sharingan, you can forget about your other students. Even Ero-sensei is better than you. He does his so-called research, but he never forgets to train me. I guess my fa- I don't think your sensei would like that." Naruto finished. Jiraiya was smiling. Naruto looked at Tsunade, smiling.
' Wow… I feel so free now…'' Feels great right?'
' Yeah…'" You are dismissed." Tsunade said, voice firm.
" Well,
I'm off." And with that, Naruto disappeared into the streets on
Konoha, never turning back.
