Authors Note: Aye yo readers lol Im really sorry for taking so long, life has picked up on the busyness so please don't mob haha. Please enjoy.

DAY1:

Everyone was walking along the path back towards the Leaf. It would be a 2 to 3 day trek depending on the weather. Everyone is distant with the young vessel and there is an awkward feel to the air. They all took turns holding Naruto's rope as he was allowed to walk, just his entire torso was wrapped up. The team all of course treated and acted and interacted with him differently.

WITH NARUTO AND SHINO:

Though Naruto was weirded out by his bugs he didn't wanna admit it he kinda liked him. He was like him in some ways. He looked at things in a deferent light. He was smart but he didn't flaunt it like he would later find out a lot of kids his age would do.

"So uhh where do those bugs come from?" Naruto asked.

"I have a hive living in my body so then that provides the optimum surprise and attacking speed possible." Shino answered.

"Ah that makes since, it did catch me off guard at first." Naruto chuckled a little.

"I wanted to inquire upon that, why did my insects flee from you after tasting your chakra, this has never happened in the recordings of my clan?" Shino asked.

"Haha lets just say I might have a chakra that would be could act as almost poisonous to them, if things follow along a certain path then maybe you'll find out more later." Naruto confusing answered.

Shino nodded decided not to dive deeper into the subject. They walked along with each other in peaceful silence after that. Naruto spent this time thinking about his captures. He didn't hate the entire group.

WITH NARUTO AND HINATA:

They walked in silence for most of the time. Hinata wanted to get to know the boy as she had seen Shino conversing with him frequently and Kiba here and there. But he seemed to not really care to talk to her at all. She felt bad for being the one taking him down especially since he was crying. She didn't know sensei had killed his grandfather. She was ordered and just reacted but he doesn't care.

"U-um, I I'm sorry about paralyzing you." Hinata whispered white poking her pointers together.

"Hn." Naruto answered and continued walking with his hood over his face. (oh my what was that, the famous Uchina Hn. Haha sorry had to.)

"You're a-a-an a-ass." She whispered being fed up with him handing him off to Kiba.

WITH NARUTO AND KIBA:

Naruto new Kiba was pretty much a mutt so he masked his scent knowing that dogs and foxes didn't really mix to well. They walked mostly in silence but every now and then would make the occasional friendly-ish threat or compliment to ones fighting style.

"Okay I'm going to put my pride aside for this one…. How did you take me out so quickly?" Kiba gritted out.

"Don't forget effortlessly to." Naruto laughed.

"Shut up." Kiba grunted.

"Okay well anyways, to answer you, I've trained way harder then any of your group for my entire life let alone when you recently became a "ninja"." Naruto answered.

"Well will you show me some of these techniques, I cant have you beating my ass that easily anymore." Kiba said.

"We will see how things turn out before I answer, I don't really plan on sticking around to long." Naurto answered.

Kiba eyed him questioningly but couldn't get the boy to talk from there. Naruto just leaned forward to throw his hood up and kept silent for the rest of his trip with Kiba.

WITH NARUTO AND KURENAI:

Well this portion of the journey didn't exactly go to well. Kurenai watched the kid closely for any signs of stress after what she did to his grandfather. Admittedly she felt horrible for doing that to him but it was part of the life as a shinobi. She had tried to apologize but he only answered back with a reply which disturbed her even though she was a jonin.

"Look kid I'm really sorry about what happened to you grandfather but that's part of life, especially in the world we live in. I wanted more than anything to avoid taking his life but he decided that that wasn't what he wanted and he choose his fate." Kurenai tried to explain.

"That's okay." Naruto smiled at her. "And it'll be a part of life when I end your existence." He continued on walking the rest of the day as if nothing had happened out of the ordinary.

WITH THE GROUP:

"Alright that's enough." Kurenai called for a halt as the day was winding down and the stars were waking up. She set Naruto's tent up and brought him to the camp fire were Kiba was starting the fire and Hinata was preparing the dinner.

They all set around the campfire eating their respective meals. Kiba and Shino sat side by side into their own conversation as Hinata and Kurenai were as well. Naruto sat alone.

"Hey I cant exactly eat without hands here." Naruto complained.

"Hinata would you mind feeding him?" Kurenai asked.

"U-um, o-okay." Hinata replied somewhat happy to be feeding the cute boy but also hesitant because of his extreme dislike of her. He complied though without much animosity towards her. He ate silently as she fed him not looking at her staying focused on the spoon.

"I'm going to sleep now." Goodnight Shino and Kiba Naruto nodded as he dipped into his tent. Kurenai shared a look with Hinata that said just ignore him.

….. Hours later.

Naruto sat up still tied up. He thought to himself time to get some payback. He concentrated on himself and dived into his mindscape. 'Kyuu I need some help real quick.' Naruto said to Kyuubi. 'What with?' She asked. 'Well I'm tied up and I need to make a clone.' Naruto answered. 'Okay I can help you with that, just remember not to try doing unsealed Jutsus without me and you obviously cant be using me in the heat of battle so don't try to rely on this it'll take some time.'

'Okay here we begin go back to reality and lemme focus. You'll know if it worked when you see a clone, gimme a few minutes okay?' She said. 'Okay.' He answered then sat patiently as Kyuubi got to work. She sat down in her meadow crossing her legs and began to focus on his chakra trying to mold it into the proper form to make a clone. It was difficult as it was not directly her own chakra but she got it in a few minutes.

Back in reality another Naruto popped into existence in front of the original and already knowing his plan pulled out a kunai and cut his roped.

"I want you to tie up Shino then spar with Kiba while I deal with the other two." Naruto said and the clone nodded going to fulfill his purpose.

Next thing Shino knows he's tied up to a tree with a Naruto in his face.

"Look I like you somewhat so do not get into this, I don't really want to hurt or fight you okay?" Naruto asked. Shino replied with a nod knowing Naruto could easily take him out right then if he didn't agree. That and the rope was so tight he couldn't even summon his bugs to let him loose.

(Clone Naruto will be addressed as Clone for now.)

Clone headed over to the sleeping Kiba now and decided to wake him up with a friendly shake.

"Get up, you wanted a rematch spar, let's go." Clone growled.

"Haha I was waiting for you to try and escape, bring it." Kiba retaliated.

"O this isn't about escape." Clone said then charged at Kiba.

They continued to trade blows the clone working more on dodging and blocking then hitting, he needed to stay alive and keep the mutt busy while the original finished his plan.

Naruto then headed over to the women's tent. He woke Hinata up first.

"I'm only giving you fair warning because you were ordered to do what you did. Get outside and get ready." Naruto growled barely controlling himself. She eeped silently and rustled out of the tent hurriedly as she was told. 'Ready?' She thought to herself until..

Kurenai went flying through the tent compliments of a kick to the ribs from Naruto. Then he split off into clones and charged the two stunned women. Hinata being the closest was targeted first. The original charged in aiming a punch for her mid section. Only reacting with instinct she slapped it away sending a jab towards his collar bone only to be interrupted with the clone hopping over the original and kneeing her in the forehead where she slid into her sensei. The two Narutos stood in their fighting stance complete seriousness written on their faces. The two females picked themselves up still in confusion.

"How did you get free?" Kurnai demanded.

"I have my ways." Naruto answered as one of them disappeared into the ground and the other started signing. "Slicing winds Jutsu." He yelled as an x shaped bladelike wind flew towards his opponents.

Hinata jumped out of the way but Kurenai got stuck by something. She looked down to see a pair of hands holding onto her ankles right before she was blasted away with the wind. The Naruto duo didn't waste any time and went after the young Hyuuga while her sensei was temporarily out of the fight. The Narutos sprinted at her criss crossing continuously as the ran to confuse her as one yelled. "Fox Fire Jutsu." She looked at the one yelling but saw nothing happen as she felt heat radiating from her other side. She looked quickly and saw a fox shapped flame aimed at her. She quickly danced out of the way only to instantly be on the defensive as the Narutos attacked with punches and kicks. She was doing everything she could to simply keep them at bay when they were sent crashing through the trees by her returning sensei.

"Hinata with the clone dispersed we cant give him time to make anymore, it'll just make the fight that much more difficult. I want you to shadow me and take him down if you see an opening." Kurenai instructed.

"Yes sensei." She answered as she got behind her.

Naurto walked back onto the encampment to find his targets. His eyes were glowing a shining violet as he started to pick up the pace towards his opponents. Kurenai noted the change and knowing about the fox knew this wasn't good. He disappeared ready to end this. Appearing behind both of them he chopped Hinata in the neck knocking her unconscious and threw her body aside like a rag doll focusing on her sensei, his primary target, his kill. Kurenai whipped around a second later to watch her student be taken down and reacted instantly with a roundhouse to Naruto's head, he disappeared only to show up ducked and behind her sweeping her legs and kicking her stomach to send her flying once more. He didn't let the trees meet her this time, practically teleporting to her he grabbed her wrist and sent her sky high where she attempted to right herself preparing for his next attack which came from behind hind. A devastating axe kick to the back of her head sending her unconsciously reeling towards the ground where she created a crated.

Naruto on her a second after her impact, knee in her chest and sharpened nails at her throat ready to finish the job.

CLIFF HANGER

Authors Note: If I decide to somehow make Naruto still go to the leaf, should I put him with a team or introduce a new character into the fray who'll take Naruto on as his own student. They would still be considered a Konoha team just only as a 1 student and instructor. Lemme know. Hope you enjoyed.
