I am in love with this story... any suggestions are welcome.
A week later
"AHHH!"
To Kagami shock, it was an easy thing to find out the local Blackmarket to sell Ninja Corpses or Zabuza's blade. There were outright signs and so on, and he saw a Ninja dressed in the same robe as Itachi actually going into them. It was actually in a bathroom, a local pit stop. In that place, he not only bought a bingobook but also sold Zabuza's blade. He got a shit ton of money, and the respect of a man without a name. With his new fortune and Bingobook, he was set on his path.
That led him to his current situation, where he was kicking a local Ex Mist Ninja in the face. Hard, hard enough to shatter his jaw. The man had two comrades, all from Mist, acting as local thugs. They charged him as he nearly killed their leader. Ducking under a water bullet, he twisted like Rock Lee on one hand and rose with an uppercut that snapped the closest thug's neck.
Quickly arming himself with his claw, he cut through the leader's throat, and turned to rush the last thug, rising with a knee that also snapped their neck. Shaking off the adrenaline, he wondered aloud.
"Why don't I feel anything... I killed three people, a man and two women... why do I feel so little? Naruto would have freaked out... hm... for another time I have three bounties to turn in."
Sealing in the bodies away in a scroll, he rushed away, happily to the nearest Bounty office. He never felt the eyes on him, nor did he realize they followed and reported him to the local Bounty Office, giving him his own bounty... one born of a week of worth of stalking.

Tsunade frowned, looking at the newest bounty in her Bingobook. She always looked them over, any new additions, partially to see if they were one of hers or a huge threat, but also to see if she could employ them. Some of their greatest ninja were once Bounty Hunters afterall. It was just a pure fact, hell the village was founded on such people in the distant past.
This current one was interesting, hence the frown. It was on page one seventeen, in the B rank section.

Additional information : Subject was given the Alias pale healer for his/her skill in healing and White clothes/mask. Over the last week, they have healed over a hundred people in six villages of various injuries in addition to taking in bounties. They show excellent skills as a healer, and a ferocious skill as a fighter. Approach with hesitation.
Tsunade sighed. "Do you think they would make a good addition to the village, Shizune?"
Her anxious student nodded. "Yes, that is why I showed you the bounty. It is rare for anyone to get that level of skill as a medic, let alone at that age. We are so damaged from Orochimaru's assault, we are low on medics, combat ninja especially. He would be a welcome addition, and if he is young enough he might be able to acclimate well into our village."
"Hmm... add a bounty for us, capture only, two hundred thousand Ryo..."
"Our reports show that he is going toward Sea Country, perhaps we could send a team that way to speak to him?"
She nodded, and grinned. "I know just what team to send his way, an expert in getting young ninja to grow... Send in Team Gai, I have much to speak to them about. They are our fastest team, they will easily reach the young Ninja in time to make some sort of connection."
"""
Kagami only had about five minutes in Sea country to himself, he had been healing people for about three hours elsewise, of various injuries from bruises and cuts to more severe issues. Sea country was a poor place fishing country, and there was a lot to help with. He was paid with free fish, and a place to stay, which he happily agreed to. He, now finished, hurried onto the house he would be allowed to stay at.
However, before he knew what to so much as think, he heard a terrifyingly familiar voice call to him. "Pale Healer?" he froze, turning slowly where he saw the familiar faces of Team Gai. All of them, looking at him with curiosity and kindness, bar the stoic Neji.
"Who?" He asked, confused.
"You, my boy, the Pale Healer." When Kagami tipped his head, Gai pulled out a Bingobook. "That is your name in this book, you were added a few days ago. No one knows your name, but your rapid rise in it was... well, rare. Your gift for healing drew in the Mist country, they aim to scout you I believe. We too would like to scout you, my youthful friend. What say you?"
Sighing, Kagami sat down in the sand. "I say... I am not sure. I have heard poor things, about your village, from a boy in it... tales of mistreatment and abuse. Of a boy named Naruto, a hero hated from birth. Of a clan enslaved by it's own, in Neji... so much wrong. I was there during the Chunin exams, I learned a lot."
They all cringed, and it was Lee who stepped forward. "But there is much to be said about growth, Neji's uncle is teaching him as if he as a main family member and_"
"What about his slave Seal? Or the others in the clan still abused and hated? Or about Naruto's abuse? Naruto was never even recognized for stopping Gaara as far as I am aware."
It was here that he noticed a gaping Neji, eyes activated, looking through his mask... at his very Naruto like face. "Naruto is that you?" He asked and Kagami sighed. Rock Lee and Gai turned with sharp focus and attention in Gai's face.
"No, and yes,... it would be best if we went to a safe place to chat... please follow me." And within five minutes they were safely in a hut by the sea. It was here that Kagami took off his mask. "My name is Kagami Uzumaki, and I am a clone of Naruto Uzumaki, created entirely by mistake when Naruto rushed unprotected and unprepared into a base of Orochimaru's. I will explain the specifics later, I am well trained in science and medical jutsu and sealing as I was trained by monks for six months, with those skills I could make out an rough outline of my path and start."
Tenten leaned forward. "You don't sound like Naruto..."
"I am far more educated, it helps a lot. I am also more patient, patience is a key virtues of the monks. I learned it well, pairing well with meditation training."
Gai sighed. "You have to come with us, Kagami, Naruto has inherited vastly powerful enemies, and you could easily be mistaken for him...I am sorry, but for your own safety, I am willing to force this issue. More so, you have Naruto's DNA, which means you have secrets of the village, another reason to force this issue."
"Damn it, Gai!" They all froze at his words, even Gai. "Do you think me a fool, I know that, but I also know that those enemies include the Leaf villagers. They would kill me as soon they get the chance. I have Naruto's memories. I know the Leaf's bigotry has yet to fade! Furthermore, I refuse to lose my new self. I love Kagami, I never liked being Naruto... this new person, I am happier, smarter and better off. I will not become him again."
There was a long silence, before Gai said. "I know, kid, I know... and I won't let that happen. I will speak to Lady Tsunade... and we will see what can do... but there is little choice..."
Sighing, he nodded. "I know I cannot overpower you four, I will go peacefully but under protest... but I demand you call me Kagami and I get to keep the name Pale Healer. I earned it... and I love it now that I know it exists... we should leave in the morning. I was promised this place until the morning."
Chapter end, tell me what you think in the reviews.
Should he go with the Leaf or run away to another place... you pick! Maybe to Mist? Unsure...
Love, your Ninja Overlord,
Mika.
