Chapter 4 – The decision

Sorry for the long update, I've decided that I will wait with the parings and see what happens when I write, other than that nothing new :P

After Naruto had come home that night he unsealed everything and went to bed… the next morning he thought about whether to summon Erakk or train some more before summoning him. Since Erakk probably would be at least a little pissed, but Naruto didn't want to disappoint him. So he trained until the sun was at its highest and summoned Erakk.
"So… how far have you progressed?" said Erakk with his paws crossed.

"Does slicing or making the leaf burn count as progress" said Naruto with a sheepish grin on his face.

"What do you mean… you mean you sliced it and burned it!?" Said Erakk with shock on his face.

"Yeah but sometimes nothing happened, I guess I should train some more…" Naruto said looking down a little.

Erakk was amazed, not only did the boy seem to have affinity for wind, but fire… "Nalorakk going to be happy at least…" Erakk thought. "It's been a long time since one in the clan has had anything but water and earth affinity…"

"Uhm… Erakk-sensei? You there?" Naruto asked the bear who was deep in thought…

"What? Oh yes just thinking, have you ever used any jutsus? Besides summoning!" Erakk said after he noticed that Naruto was almost shouting at him.

"Yea, I can do the great fireball" Naruto said, feeling a little ashamed that he only knew one jutsu besides summoning.

"Really now, that's a C-rank if I remember correctly… that's a pretty high level jutsu for someone who isn't even a genin" Erakk saw Naruto lighten up again… "If this is how he is as an 8 year, then his teen years are going to be crazy." Erakk thought as he face vaulted.

"Well Naruto since you seem to have a huge affinity for fire and wind, skip a couple of years and teach you some elemental manipulation right away or else you'd probably burn everything…"

"Well once I was…"

FLASHBACK!

Naruto was 5 years old and was in an old storage house of some kind, as he didn't really pay any attention to that since he was hunted once again… by the villagers, a bigger group than normal this time. So Naruto had run through the big gates and had been running until he found this old storage and ran in.
Naruto was crying since he had no idea why as usual, why konoha hated him so much. He was hiding between some old boxes praying to whatever deity who could hear him… to bad that those who heard couldn't do anything, by now the villagers had surrounded the old building. Some of the braver ones went inside and started smashing stuff… until one of them hit a barrel close to Naruto, who yelped at the loud sound.
The man who had smashed the barrel smiled, and picked up Naruto by holding him in his hair

"I found him!" said the villager with a sadistic grin on his face… from the outside you could hear how the other shouted in joy that they would finally kill him. Naruto struggled but to no use, The man holding him lifted him up higher in the air as another man came with a plank and smashed it against Narutos chest making Naruto shout out in pain… another hit came but the man stabbed the plank though the stomach instead, since it was a blunt weapon it didn't go through but… on a 5 year old… with a malnourished body… it destroyed a lot of the insides and Naruto vomited out a lot of blood.

"Hey demon, to bad your mother isn't here or we could've killed her too" the men laughed…
"Or make you kill her!" The men laughed some more
"Should we go get that ramen chef and his daughter, they seem to like him." One man said a little further away
"and kill them for their treason against konoha, feeding the demon… what in the world were they thinking"

While the men were talking and the other villagers outside were shouting, Naruto was getting angry… no not angry… EXTREMELY PISSED! The wounds in his stomach were already healing and Naruto was fuming, suddenly a wind stated to blow inside of the building, and as it grow stronger with the villagers laughing and shouting some of stopped and looked inside to see what was happening.

"AHHHH" said the man holding Naruto as his hand had caught fire and he dropped Naruto…

Naruto was standing on the floor his face darkened by his hair, Naruto started to burn… the winds were now really strong… the villagers on the outside were unable to stop watching which would be their final mistake…
Then Narutos head rose and you could see his eyes… red slitted…

"The demon…" someone said
"he's…"

At this Naruto screamed with the kyuubi enforcing his voice he shook the whole building, the peoples closet to him also screamed but for a different reason… their ears had started to bleed. Narutos flames then rose higher in the air as the wind began to giving small cuts where it was concentrated the most… then… Naruto screamed one more time but this time the fire rose with scream and got bigger because of the wind… everything shot outwards and burned everything within 300 meters… the only person with any memory of this is Naruto, even with him it's only pieces left of the memories of that night

ENDFLASHBACK

Erakk was surprised to say the least that Naruto had created so much damage at such a low age…

"We really need to concentrate on elemental manipulation." "And we have to find a way to stop the kyuubi from giving him chakra when he's angry" Erakk thought

"You what Naruto, I think I should probably bring you to the bear world and train you under the supervision of the clan!" Erakk said after a while…

"Wow really? But then I have to ask the Sandaime" Naruto said

"Summon me the next time you talk with him alone! Since there's a lot to be sorted out." Erakk said.

"Okay" Naruto said with a smile. "Maybe this time I can finally call something home"

"Don't forget, well then see you later then!" *pouf*

"Better do this right away" Naruto thought as he ran out of the cave and towards the village.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

At the village Naruto ran as fast as he could since he didn't want to be stopped by some villager or ninja, even though the last one probably could catch up with him anyway. He should have watch his step, because then he wouldn't have run into one of the Inuzukas…

"Ouf" was all that came from Narutos mouth
"Oie! Kid watch where you're runni… oh it's you" his snarl turned into a grin and he picked up Naruto from the ground

"you ran into me on purpose didn't you!" The man said
"no I was on my way to the hokage and ran a little… Argh!" The Inuzuka had punched him in the stomach

"What makes you think that you can see the hokage, demon?" The man said smiling
"please! Let me go!!" Naruto begged
"No…" The man said as he started to punch Naruto
then an ANBU came down and stopped the Inuzuka…
"Under the orders of the Sandaime you're to be constrained until a proper hearing has occurred" The ANBU said

Naruto took this as his chance to run away since he would probably get caught instead if the ANBU saw that it was Naruto and not a boy who was being beaten… "I hate Inuzukas, I hate ANBU, I hate villagers… I HATE KONOHA!" Naruto had decided now… he would leave konoha and get stronger with the clan even if Sandaime said no… and he would get the clans revenge on the Inuzukas.

At the Hokages office…

Naruto ran straight in the office and closed the door, the Sandaime looked up and saw little Naruto walking towards him and then stopping in the middle of the room.

"What is it Naruto?" the Sandaime asked concerned since Naruto only came to his office for allowance and to talk…

Naruto bit his thumb and put both hands down on the floor and said
"Kuchiyose no Jutsu!"

Sarutobi jumped back in surprise because of two reasons
1: he didn't know Naruto could summon.
2: he wasn't prepared to have a summon in his office.
3: he was tired from doing an all-nighter with the paperwork.

After the smoke cleared Sarutobi saw a big grey bear and then it hit him Kushina had a summon contract with the bears. "How did Naruto find that?"

"Hiruzen Sarutobi…" Erakk said in a commanding voice
"Erakk it's been a while" Sarutobi said once he stood up straight
"We want to take Naruto to bear lands and train him" Erakk said while looking at the Sandaime
"What?!" Sarutobi almost screamed
"Konoha isn't safe for Naruto so we'll be training him where he is safe"
"well that's good to hear, but he has to back in 4 years for the genin exams"
"deal, Naruto go seal your stuff at the cave and then summon me… and we'll be on our way" Erakk ended the conversation with a *pouf* and left Naruto and Hiruzen alone.

"Are you sure about this Naruto… I'll miss along with Teuchi and Ayame." Sarutobi said with a sad smile on his face
"konoha has done nothing to make me want to stay, but I'll be back to become a genin so that I can show everyone that I'm not the kyuubi." Naruto said with determination in his eyes.
"Just don't forget to say goodbye to the ichirukas" The Sandaime said as Naruto was walking towards the door. Naruto just nodded.
"Goodbye Naruto" Sarutobi said after Naruto had closed the door.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

At the ichirukas Naruto had explained everything to Teuchi and Ayame, Even if Naruto guessed there would be some waterworks, he didn't expect it from Teuchi.

*sob* "My best costumer" *sob* Teuchi cried out while Ayame was giving him a goodbye hug…
"Dad! You're scaring away the other costumers… CALM DOWN!" Ayame said to her father after she had let go of Naruto. About an hour later which contained Naruto trying to get out of Teuchi grip and Ayame helping Naruto, Teuchi finally let go and accepted that after 4 years Naruto would be back and he would be bigger which meant… more room to stuff in ramen. Naruto waved goodbye and left towards the cave…

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

In the forest Naruto was walking along a path… imagining what he would be learning when he heard a bark…
"Inuzuka…" Naruto thought as he ran behind a tree when he realized that it was a futile attempt, as the Inuzuka could still smell him and hear him, so he walked back to the path and just continued walking.

"Naruto!" came a voice and then a bark right after…
"It's just Kiba... phew! That really scared me" Naruto sweet dropped and replied.
"What!?"
"Just wondering if you want to play" Kiba said when caught up with Naruto…
Naruto was surprised and sad since because he had never been asked to play with before and also because of that Kiba was an Inuzuka and Naruto was an Uzumaki. Well… that's just an excuse since it would probably be Kibas family who would be the real problem… "Ah what the hell, I'll go away for 4 years damn it…" Naruto thought
"Sure" Naruto replied with a smile, Kiba and Akamaru went ecstatic…

(Insert games and other fantasies created by 8 year olds)

"Wow that was fun, but it's getting dark so I should probably head home before mom gets worried, can we play again tomorrow?" Kiba asked lying on the ground exhausted since Naruto (AKA STAMINA FREAK) didn't slow down one bit and therefore Kiba was out of order temporarily…

"Sorry but I won't be in konoha in the next 4 years." Naruto said with sadness now that he had found a friend he had another reason to stay but it didn't change his decision about leaving, it just made it harder…

"Oh, but… you're going to come back in 4 years, why?" Kiba asked disappointed as he too had found a friend. But his hopes weren't completely gone…

"I'm going to go on a training trip for 4 years in the bear lands" Naruto said boosting up every word.
"But I'm going back to take the genin exams and beat everyone else" Naruto Ended it with a big fox grin.

"No you won't, because I'll be the one who'll beat everyone." Kiba said with a confident smile.

"Then I expect you to get a lot stronger since I beat you pretty easy now." Naruto teased.
"See you in 4 years Kiba, grow strong." Naruto said grinning
"yea see you later mate, grow tall." Kiba said snickering

Naruto grabbed Kiba hand and said
"How about an oath, Whoever we become we'll always be friends."
"And whoever we kill fight or fall in love with we'll still be friends." Kiba said as They shook the hand.

Naruto grinned and said
"Goodbye friend"
"Goodbye friend" Kiba said and left.

Naruto walked to the cave and when he arrived he started packing everything and when he was done he summoned Erakk.

"Ready to leave?" Erakk said
"yeah…"

Erakk took a hold of Narutos shoulder and said
"here we go"

End of chapter

(A/N)I'm going to time jump now since I don't want to try and create a whole new world. But I'll give you a quick explanation if your still interested… The bear lands consists of four parts… The Snow mountains where the polar clan rules, The Deep forest Where the Grizzlies live (browns if you didn't know) The jungle Where the black bears rule and the last… the big mountain where the grey live… Naruto will go around the whole place but will mostly stay at the big mountain and jungle since he has affinity for fire (black bears) and for wind (grey bears)
