AN: okay for this story to advance I will have to do something that might upset some of you, but there will be a good reason for it that I will explain at the next chapter, like I said in another story of mine there are reasons for my madness. Also no, Naruto will not become emotionless (so if you expect that from this fic, sorry) and finally sorry for taking so long, but I've been busy and I have another 12 fics to look after.
CHAPTER 1: plans and consequences
The raikage was starting to get worried, since they left konoha two days ago the kid had not utter one word, then again he was told that he was basically given to kumo in order to avoid conflict.
Why you ask? Simple, because the raikage wanted a weapon. and a weapon with will is not useful. The strange if not a bit scary thing is that the boy seemed to expect it.
"kid we will rest here and depart in the morning and don't wander off" thought it sounded innocent the hidden message was 'or else'.
The blond however had no intention of running away, he knew it was best for him to stay put. and he had come to terms that excluding a few select number of people, everyone in the village hated him. As for the why he really didn't know.
The kage and the mysterious woman set camp making sure that the boy was always in one of their gazes, though he was not doing anything besides staring at the fire in front of him that was just lit with a Katon jutsu, Everything was calm.
Meanwhile in kumogakure:
In the village hidden of the clouds the situation was not calm, but at the same time it was not chaotic. at least not in the open; you see many people both civilian and shinobi were tired of their kage's actions and tyranny, of how he sacrificed shinobi and civilian alike to meet his goals without caring who is harmed in the process, of how he is leading kumo to it's demise.
(AN: yeah the raikage it's a big s.o.b)
"is everything ready?" asked a woman in her mid twenties, she had short black hair that cascaded to both sides of her face, heart-shaped mouth, dark-jade green eyes and soft features, she was standing at her 5.9 of height, had the right curves in the right places, not too big but not little either, and more importantly, a fit body consequence of years of training and active duty.
"it is Suzume, the riot will star when scheduled" said an elder man.
Many would have objected or at least raised an eyebrow on how familiar the old man was to the future ruler of kumogakure, but if anyone earned the right to talk to her with such familiarity was Shingo Aoi (it means something blue light, I think) her old sensei and the only man that had ever seen her broke down and cry, he didn't just taught her, he heard her, of how his husband was bent on turning his daughter in a weapon (it's not Yugito), on how the vessel of Nibi was being mistreated without even remorse, on her problems and concerns, and as he listened he talked as well, he told her of the great nation that cloud once was, before her husband took the power, on how it was hard but still happy times.
Shingo Aoi was a simple man, he reached Suzume's chin in height, his round head was devoid of any hair, his eyes were almost always closed in a thin line (think Gin from Bleach) he sported a pair of gray bushy eyebrows ( not as much as Lee but in the same manner) and from beneath his nose and along both sides of his mouth a long, thin white mustache ran down the length of his body stopping in front of his knees, and he was dressed in a simple white robe ( like the one Hiashi uses).
Yet, to underestimate him would be a mistake, mistake that many did in the past and paid dearly for it.
"soon kumo will have a new leader and a new path" said the elder man.
The woman looked concerned, she put her arms around herself as if she was trying to warm herself before saying "I hope we are doing the right thing"
"it is Suzume, if things keep going the way they are the village will likely be destroyed in short time"
she mentally snorted at that thought, gathering allies for this cue was surprisingly easy, with the exception of some clans almost every shinobi wanted a new management in the village, and in all the involved it was decided by a landslide that Ikazuchi Suzume (thunder sparrow) was shoe in for becoming the new godaime raikage.
"and what about my husband?" asked the female. Spitting the last word as if was the foulest poison in existence.
"the reports says that he departed from konoha two days ago, what worries me is that he also has a kid with him"
"a kid?"
"yes, what bothers me is why him would go out of his way to get him?" that was something that was disconcertating, as the raikage was not a man to do something without a reason.
"I guess we'll cross that brigde when we get there" the female replied.
Back in the camp:
while the raikage and his companion where getting ready torest for the nigth, Naruto just sat in his place under a tree in complete silence wondering how his life that was nothing but hell got even worse in the first place. On what he left behind, Will people notice his absence? will he be missed? Somehow he doubted it. Then it dawned on him, there were people who cared for him: the hokage, the old man Teuchi and his daugther Ayame.
For the first time since he left konoha Uzumaki Naruto shed tears for what was taken from him.
Konohagakure:
Back in konoha it was a different matter altogether, for you see the day Naruto was 'sent to kumo for the sake of konoha's well being' most of the older, wiser and more importantly knowing part of the council including the ninja part was not in the session for one reason or another. so imagine their surprise to find out on their return that the local demon vessel was given to a highly militaristic power bent on conquering. Needless to say they were not amused.
"now exactly why would you think it was a good idea to let the most direct threat to konoha have the kyuubi vessel?" asked Danzou in evened, clipped tones, the hidden message of what will happen to the merchant being addressed by the question hung in the air.
The merchant was pale. he couldn't remember the last time he was so scared as he was not in the village during the attack of the kyuubi; though he did loose a lot of places and merchandise. and in his mind it was more than enough reason to have Naruto sent to another country.
Though the killer intent and the steeled gaze told him that Danzou, Koharu and Homura thougth otherwise; so he answered the best he could "w-w-w-e t-t-hougth that it was a golden opportunity to get rid of the demon Danzou-sama"
Homura exploded " YOU FOOLS, DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!!"
"they don't, after they're only civilians," said a voice near the entrance, making everyone turn to the source to find Jiraiya leaned on the wall, arms crossed and a serious expression on his features.
Silence hung up in the air for a few moments before a civilian councilman was brave enough to ask the question on everyone's minds " Jiraiya-sama what are you saying, are somehow implying that the demon was important?" the question was answered with a blast of killer intent from both the sage and the hokage.
"what I'm saying you biggoted morons is that you managed to drive the last member of the Kazama clan," said Jiraiya evenly. Leaving the council flabbergasted who looked at the sandaime for confirmation, who let out a grimm nod.
"not only that but the raikage and his associate now have in their possession the scrolls of both Kazama Arashi (AN: the yondaime) and Uzumaki Tifa ( AN: his mother, oc)"
the wails and shouts of outrage were heard several blocks around the tower.
Danzou moved trough the pasages of the building unhindered by His nins who moved out of the way least not to be killed by the elder. He entered his office and slammed the door mentally cursing the Sandaime, The senile fool first refused to allow him to turn the brat into a weapon and then he gave kumo those scrolls, he silently wondered fi the pacifism haven't make him too soft to the position, as it was his thougths that the shinobi was forged and molded in wars and blood, not in peace. he started thinking, he needed a way to salvage this.
"take a good look to your new home" said the raikage as Naruto eyed warily the mountain that was surrounded by by dark clouds that released lightning every now and then.

AN: I know it was a short chapter for such long wait, but I had to sit down and think were i wanted the plot to go as well as work something for the plothole left in the last chapter, now for this chapter it was mainly concieved as a bridge of sorts between the events of the next and this the last chapter, so it's a filler, as for Naruto's mother there are several reasons, the first it's because this story was concieved before the name of the yondaime and his wife/ lover/ girlfriend were revealed and as such it allowed me a lot of room for speculation, the next because after the name was revealed it was also revealed in the manga that Kushina fougth like Naruto so I couldn't use her (as I needed Naruto's mother as shinobi that relies heavily on taijutsu and Tifa fitted the bill just fine) also her heritage as a person of whirlpool country was in the way (there is a reason for this and you see the why in a few chapters... or the next, i really don't know) and finally i always ahd a soft spot for Tifa. now for the voting
The number to the left is votes for individual pairing, the one in the rigth is for that person to be in a harem ( please no more than four)
From konoha:
Hanna ( I would have to adjust her age to match Temari's (sorry but an 18 year old does nto fall for a 12 year old) 2/3
Sakura/
Tenten/
Ino 2/
Hinata (it seriously require mayor support) 2/
From other places:
Temari(sand) 2/
Female Haku(kumo, as a refugee) 5/3
Oc(from kumo, sand and mist) 3/4
Kin( from sound) /1
Sasame (yes, and please no buts) 2/4
Yugito (requires age adjustment, but if she's not chosen the she becomes Naruto's jounin sensei) 1/
No one ( because you trust my judgement to make the rigth. Pfftt yeah rigth)
Now for the second vote; Tifa ( Naruto's mother in this fic. Don't bother telling me to change because I won't ) should be:
dead and pushing daisies.
In a deep coma but alive
In a coma, but she wakes up, and goes to kumo to raise Naruto
In a coma, but she wakes up, beats up a bunch of ANBU, and goes to kumo to raise Naruto ( she doesn't become a missing nin( how the hell i'm gong to acomplish that i ahve no idea)
In a coma, but she wakes up, and acts as liason between teh two countries to see her child
Stuff I will not consider: she does not abandon Naruto, she will not neglect, hate him, ignore him, forget about him, etc, etc,ect, yadda, yadda, yadda (is not natural. And besides the poor boy had the shitiest live i have ever seen)
The voting closes the next chapter. THAT WILL COME OUT IN TREE, FOUR MONTHS TOPS, OR EVEN SOONER IF I FIND THE INSPIRATION
Well review please if you don't have anything nice and/or constructive to say don't bother.
JA Ne!!
