Chapter 12: Trust

Naruto was having a grand time being summoned to the Hokage's office for who knows how many times. He has been summoned this whole week to her office and every time he went it was the same reason why he was called for. Truth be told he really didn't want to be here but the face that the Hokage held made it that much worth while being there. The Hokage held an irritated face with a vein throbbing with anger. He couldn't help but smirk under his breath on how easily she got irritated over something as simple as this. Naruto waited on her to speak and by counting that throbbing vein pulsing faster it was going to happen soon. Yes in 3..2..1.

"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS? THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS! I TOLD YOU ALREADY I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOUR MONEY THAT PEOPLE ARE SENDING PAYING YOU BACK ON WHAT YOU HAVE HELPED WITH! IN JUST THIS ENTIRE SIX DAYS YOU HAVE HAD OVER 4 BILLION! IN THAT WAS JUST THE TIP OF IT!" oh yes the Hokage was passed angry she was furious and Naruto was enjoying every minute of it. He looked over to both sides of the room and at each side he saw doors open at the sides of the room and both next-door rooms were filled with nothing but money all for him. He smirked on his accomplishment over the years he has been away and that all this money was only his and none of it belonged to Konoha.

"Is there going to be anymore arriving that I should no about?" she asked staring him down to tell her before hand. Naruto shrugged it, as in telling her he had no clue.

"I wouldn't know they don't even tell me." He said straight out. He at least helped her calm down by teleporting all of his money back to his house with a snap of his fingers and poof the money was now gone. Tsunade just shooked her head about how Naruto can carelessly teleport his money like it was no big deal at all. Tsunade had to admit throughout her whole life she has never seen so much money or be surrounded by it in her entire life. She was jealous on how Naruto had so much money and that was just from getting missions he didn't even ask for to get paid for but not only that he also had his inheritance left by his father as well. It was official Naruto was the richest person in Konoha. She stared down on to her desk and she once again got furious.

"Not only is the money getting ridiculous but ALSO THIS!" Tsunade waved a stack of papers in front of Naruto's face. No doubt in Naruto's mind he knew it was missions requested from other villages'.

"There is no way you can complete all of these missions all on your own." She said in disbelief reading through them.

"I have traveled on my own this whole time and have done such missions as those and more on my own. So don't say something that even you don't know what I am capable of." Naruto told her in his deepest and coldest tone he knew he had. He was now angry at her. She had told him in his face that he isn't able to accomplish any of that like he was the same pathetic ninja from back then. He glared at her the meanest way he could and it made Tsunade shiver from it. He smirked in triumph that even he could make a legendary Nin shiver from his stare.

"Well on other terms I will assign them to you once you get back from your mission which you will start tomorrow. The mission is to go to lighting village and escort a young lady to Konoha. She is being targeted by some rebellious group of ninja that are against the treaty with the lighting village and Konoha. So through out the mission you have to protect her at all times. You have to prepare to leave in the morning and it will take three days to get there and back. You report at the entrance gates at eight o'clock. Are there any questions or details I need to go over again?" she asked.

"None except one. May I leave now?" Naruto wanted more than to leave. Tsunade just stared at him until she gave a nod that he was dismissed. Naruto only nod his head to show at least some rest towards the Hokage. He made his way to the door and left, Tsunade just stared at door sadly wishing she could once again have the same relationship she once had with the blond but knew she couldn't.

Naruto made his way out of the Hokage tower and was walking around the village aimlessly just staring out into the depth of his mind. He didn't know where he was going until he was rudely interrupted from them.

"NARUTO-SAMA!!" Naoto yelled at the top of his lungs. Naruto sighed. He really wasn't in the mood for this, he didn't even want to deal with the kid at all knowing that if he did interfere Iruka and Kakashi will integrate the poor boy for answers on his life and he didn't want that. He tried to ignore him the best he could but the boy was so happy to see him again he couldn't tell him to bug off after what he had told him about always feeling lonely because his parents were always busy and didn't have anyone but his own.

"Hey did you know I was named after you? Well almost named after you." The boy asked in a big smile.

"I can only tell. Your name is Naoto when my name is Naruto. I can see your parents were trying to bring back what they can't." He said.

"Oh. Well anyways I am really happy I get to meet you now for the very first time! My mom and dad always talk about you and the more they told me about the things you have done I want to be just like you! A great ninja like you!" he stood in front of Naruto so he was able to see he was serious.

"Kid you don't know anything about me or what I have truly done and what I have been through. Also your parents only tell you half of the things of my missions and my life. You shouldn't say things that come so easily to say. It's accomplishing them that is the hardest and what you have to do to get where u want to be. Well I have to go now I have to pack for the mission tomorrow. See you around kid." Naruto waved goodbye at him. Naoto was sad to know that his parents weren't telling him the truth about his hero that he admired so much now he had the thought that he shouldn't believe what they say for now on. Now all he was going to believe was Naruto and he was now going to ask him the truth about his life. He smiled knowing that Naruto really was a true and honest ninja that everyone had come to respect.

Naruto got home and packed what was necessary like just clothes and food. He really didn't need any medical supplies since when he gets hurt he heals right there at the spot and he has no need for any medical attention. He set his bag next to his bed that way when he wakes up he gets ready and grabs his bag and just teleports out of there. He goes down stairs to prepare something to eat for dinner and then gets ready for bed.

'Naruto, you really need to grow up.'

'Naruto, what do you have there?'

'Naruto, do you know what your saying?'

'NARUTO HELP!'

'Na…ru…to…I…love…you.'

Naruto woke up in sweat he was having those nightmares again about her. He sat there panting trying to get his breath back to a normal pace again. Once regained he lifted his hand up and with the tips of his fingers he brushed against the two rings he wore on his necklace and gave a sadden smile. He then grabbed the two rings in his fist and raised it to up so he can stare at them. He opened his hand and right there in his palm sat the two rings and he stared at the word that was engraved on it.

"Forever." He said. He then let them go and the rings were back hanging around his neck. He laid back down and said a name and went back to sleep.

He woke up the next morning and got ready for to go meet up with the rest of his so-called teammates. Once he was ready he teleported to the spot he was told to meet up but when he got there, there was no one there. He figured he was the first one there and he had to wait for the rest to show so he made the best to get comfortable against the gate and waited. Finally after waiting Sasuke and Sakura showed up together and where having a pleasant talk amongst themselves. Naruto didn't have to open up his eyes to know it was them that where coming his way he knew by their chakra it was them. He still lean against the gate waiting for their so-called leader to show up and they can soon be on their way. When Kakashi finally showed up he wasn't alone he was with Iruka and their son as well.

"Hello Sasuke, Sakura. Hello Naru-" when Iruka was about to say hello to Naruto he noticed that Naruto was no longer leaning against the gate but was already starting sown the path. Iruka had a sad look on her face seeing Naruto still ignoring them.

"Don't worry once back from the mission we will soon have the old Naruto back." Kakashi smiled to his wife. Iruka gave back a faulty smile and said her goodbyes to the team and so did Naoto. The team tried their best to catch up to Naruto and they did though Naruto was always a foot ahead them and ignored them the whole time. Sasuke tried to approach Naruto but Naruto just jumped onto a nearby tree and just started jumping tree to tree. It soon turned nightfall and they prepared camp. Kakashi told them they needed someone to first stand watch, which Naruto volunteered first. Kakashi told him after he watch was over he was to wake Sasuke for his shift then he will be last to take over and they will start back again on heading out.

Morning aroused and Sasuke and Kakashi noticed they were not awakened for their shift and they went on the search for Naruto. They found Naruto perched on a tree just leaning against.

"Hey Naruto why didn't you wake us up for our shift. Are you crazy or something? You got no sleep and you will be useless now on the mission with having you to slow us down since your tired. Are you even listening?!" Sasuke was mad at Naruto and just wanted more but to punch him in his face. He was getting more mad because Naruto was ignoring him when he was demanding an answer. He couldn't stand it anymore that he jumped right up there and grabbed Naruto by the shirt but when he did Naruto just poofed away. Sasuke had a surprised look and so did Kakashi. They were really confused on what just happened and tried to figure out where did Naruto go. They soon heard someone approach their camp and got in to their fighting stance but when they saw whom it was the went back into their normal stand. There was Naruto standing in front of them in his usual clothes but they seem the same they were different ones but also they noticed that Naruto's hair was damped like he went off to the river and took a bath or something.

"I see you found my watch guard." He said smirking at them for their slowness on that was a fake Naruto and they didn't even notice.

"Why didn't you tell us that you were going to do this. You could have saved us the hassle on worrying about who was going to watch over and stuff." Sasuke said. Naruto just glared at them on how they can just bum off of him from his technique he used when he traveled on his own.

"The only reason I did this it was because it benefited me more than it was for you." With that said Naruto packed up his gear and started walking down the path. Everyone looked at each other and did the same and caught up with Naruto. This was when it went down hill for the team seven to bring Naruto back to them the remainder of the mission Naruto ignored them to the extend that he camped alone and away from the rest of them and that he was always a mile ahead of them. They seemed that they had lost hope but then they got another chance.

They had finally arrived to lighting village and went to get the young lady know as Lady Yuiko. It seemed that once Lady Yuiko found out that none other than the great assassin Yoru was escorting her back to Konoha (aka Naruto) she was thrilled. On the way back Lady Yuiko was always clinging on Naruto and he didn't even mind he just ignored her and let her talk on and on and on and Naruto didn't even do anything to shut her up. Since Lady Yuiko was hanging around Naruto this made it hard from him to be separated from the group because Lady Yuiko was scared to be far away from the group she felt if she wasn't surrounded she was an easy target to get kidnapped so she dragged Naruto into this fearful hole of hers. After two days of walking and sleeping they were now on their third day to go home they all knew that this was their last chance to get Naruto to go back to them but they really couldn't with Lady Yuiko always around Naruto. They devised a plan to get Lady Yuiko away from Naruto, thye gotten Sakura to take Lady Yuiko down by the river for a moonlight bath so that would give Kakashi and Sasuke time to talk with Naruto. They set their plan in motion and gotten Lady Yuiko to leave with Sakura to bathe and that now left Kakashi and Sasuke with Naruto. They were about to speak when they heard a scream. Naruto was the first to get up and leave and to arrive there while the rest were trying to catch up. When Naruto got there he noticed that Sakura was laying on the ground and that Lady Yuiko was nowhere in sight. He looked around for any traces of her until he picked up a chakra signature and followed it. He left behind the rest of the team and went to rescue the client.

He got there and he came face to face with about thirty ninjas. Naruto was about to make a move but when he saw that they held a kunai to Lady Yuiko's throat he stopped. They leader of the group said his demands on what he wanted and Naruto did the only thing he could but to accept the terms they set out. They were to meet in an hour to exchange the hostage for what they wanted in return. Naruto nodded in agreement and he let them go to get what they wanted. Team seven finally caught up with Naruto and Naruto had informed them of what had happened and that they had an hour to get up that hill if they wanted to rescue Lady Yuiko. It took exactly a whole hour for team seven to climb that hill and when they got there they meet up with the rebels.

"I see you brought what we asked for that's good. Now we will exchange." The leader said. Naruto nodded and gathered up his chakra and formed ropes around Sasuke's wrists and legs. Sasuke fell down with the sudden ropes that tied his legs and stared back at Naruto.

"What are you doing?" he demanded.

"I agreed to exchange her for you." Team seven couldn't believe it Naruto was willing to exchange Sasuke life with Lady Yuiko.

"Why me though?" Sasuke asked.

"You should be blaming this on your brother. We hate that bastard and we will take out on you. I mean an Uchiha is an Uchiha no matter what. Blood is blood." The leader of the squad said. Naruto nodded to the leader letting him know that he was ready for the exchange. Naruto threw Sasuke to them and they threw Lady Yuiko to him.

"Sasuke!" Sakura screamed but Naruto stopped her before she ran to him and try to safe him. Naruto noticed that the team was ready to pounce on the squad and before they could strike he teleported them all back on the path to Konoha. Sakura noticed they were back on the road and she saw that Naruto had his back towards them. She was angry on how Naruto can carelessly throw Sasuke like that when they have been the best of friends.

"How can you do that? Do you even know what you have done? How could you?! He is you best friend and you just throw him like he was just a worthless exposable life?! Your nothing but a cold heartless monster!" Sakura yelled at him. Naruto didn't even flinch or turned around to see her and this got Sakura mad and she ran towards him to beat the living lights out of him but when she was about to strike him he poofed away and she was now confronted with Sasuke. Sasuke was laying on the ground helplessly until the ropes that tied him down disappeared. He got up and noticed he was back with his team. Sakura was so happy that Sasuke was back and she hugged him with dear life. Then they noticed that Naruto was gone and nowhere in sight.

"He went back to the group of nins to kill them off. He told me his plan telepathically when they were making negations on what they wanted in return. This was all a set-up they targeted me knowing that they will send a team of ninja's from Konoha and that Sasuke was going to be one of them so that's why they targeted me to get to you." Lady Yuiko informed them all that Naruto was doing just to spare Sasuke's life. Once they realized that Naruto was up on that hill on his own they ran back up there as fast as they could to help him out but when they got there they saw nothing but bodies sprawled everywhere and there stood Naruto in the middle with now scratch on him or even spilled blood. Once Naruto acknowledges they were there he turned around and walked towards them but instead of talking to them he walks right pass them. They went after Naruto trying to catch up to him and tell him they were sorry for accusing him of such treachery. Naruto just ignored them and was a mile ahead of them not wanting to be anywhere near them. Once they have arrived home they went straight to report in to the Hokage.

"Lady Yuiko you look exhausted lets get you to a room so you can rest." Tsunade told Shizune to take Lady Yuiko to a spare room. Lady Yuiko said her thanks to team seven and left.

"Now report in on what happened on the mission." They told her everything that happened on the mission even the part when Naruto exchanged Sasuke for Lady Yuiko that's when Tsunade interrupted.

"YOU DID WHAT! HOW CAN YOU DO THAT! DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID! SAUKE IS THE LAST SURVIVOR OF HIS CLAN IF HE DIES THEN SO DOES THE UCHIHA NAME!" Tsunade went on and on about how special Sasuke was and how they couldn't risk his life like that. Naruto was getting mad on how she accused him for such treachery. But when Sasuke punched a hole through his chest did he get this kind of lecture. NO! He was mad and he was about to leave when he heard Sakura tell the Hokage the rest of the story on how it was a plan and that Lady Yuiko told them about it. Tsunade just stared at Naruto and she was pale than a ghost.

"I don't think you need me here to explain the mission when you have already three ninjas here that can tell you every detail. I'm leaving!" Naruto turned to leave but was stopped by Tsunade.

"Naruto….I…I mean…we-" Tsunade tried to say.

"We're sorry Naruto. We're sorry we should have trusted you." Sakura finished for Tsunade.

"There is nothing to be sorry for," they were glad to here that Naruto wasn't mad at them until, "when there was no trust for me to begin with." And with that said Naruto left. Everyone stared at the door where Naruto once stood and they were all pained with guilt on how those words that Naruto said hit them hard and it stabbed right into their hearts.

"We are worst off now than how we started off at the beginning when he came back." Tsunade said and the rest could only nod.
