Chapter 2:

It was two days later that Naruto woke to his new self. His body had grown to be a bit taller than average now, with much more lean muscle, giving him a wiry frame. Naruto's face had slimmed out and his hair grown, making him look like a younger version of the Yondaime. Naruto's voice had deepened and he felt... calmer, more mature than before. His chakra was also so much easier to control, although not perfect by a long shot, which was a pipe dream anyway considering how much he had. To Naruto the world felt crispier, more alive than ever before, as if he had muted his senses before.

Hinata was in Naruto's room when he awoke. Poor shy heiress could only look in amazement as Naruto changed more and more overnight. Then she remembered what Naruto had suffered and Hinata felt a rare emotion for her, anger. She was angry at Sakura, angry at Sasuke, angry at Kakashi, angry at Yondaime, angry at Sandaime, angry at herself for never speaking up. She was woken up from her musings by Naruto's hand who had poked her forehead.

"Maa Hinata-chan lighten up. I prefer it when you smile, makes the world look brighter." And cue a thud as Hinata fainted from being too close to Naruto, but not before muttering "N-Naruto...kun..."

Naruto chuckled before getting up. Looking to the side he saw that Anko had brought him some clothes. While they might not fit him perfectly they were definitely much better than his older clothes or hospital rags. So taking his clothes and getting dressed, Naruto checked out after waking Hinata up and asking her to come with him. On the way Hinata asked Naruto what he wanted and when she found out he needed clothes, she took him to the shop Tenten's father owned. According to Tenten, the retired Shinobi didn't hate the kid. Once the pair got there, Naruto knocked on the door to be let in. The store was made up of two parts, clothes and equipment. Naruto headed to the clothes section to get something to wear that wasn't as... orange as before. Hinata went with him not to peep on him of course, oh no. Just to give him some advice...Yes some perfectly innocent advice. The fact she never stopped blushing is completely irrelevant of course.

Naruto took his time choosing his outfit. After all god knew how long it would take for him to get to a quality shop again. In the end he settled for black ANBU style pants with red trim and a large number of pockets, a black shirt with a depiction of a fox head in front in shades of red and orange while in the back it had a fox chasing its chasing its tail in the same colors, over it he got a jounin-style vest in black with a red and orange depiction of a roaring fox head and a long coat like his father's, only his was black and red. Naruto added a thick black belt and solid black iron shod boots to his outfit before coming out. On top he added a pair of black bracers with retractable blades on the outer rim, a quick-release kunai and fingerless gloves with metalic caps on the knuckles. Naruto also added a pair of belt pouches behind him, where he would store explosive tags already wrapped around kunai. Along with his now-grown hair, he looked rather sharp and proffesional. After that he went to the weapons department and bought a large amount of shuriken, kunai, senbon needles, explosive notes and sealing scrolls. After sealing most of them away, and putting the rest in his pouches, Naruto went to pick up the sword Tenten had picked out of him. It was a beautiful black colored blade with while edge and red handle. It was placed inside a black scabbard that Naruto put on his back for easy drawing. He would rather have it on his side but being untrained in iaijutsu, it was better on his back. Naruto found the belt the blade hung from impractical and resolved to find a way around it.

After all was said and done, and Naruto much much poorer, he and Hinata went to meet Naruto's other friends for the supplies he would need.

At the Hokage's Office

Tsunade, Shizune, Jiraiya and Anko were talking about the gaki. Jiraiya offered to take care of the kid but he was denied by Tsunade. At everyone's questioning looks Tsunade continued:

"The bastards have hurt Naruto enough. He was the only reason I even came back here and these jerks want him off? Well I'm not going to stay here then. Jiraiya I want you to stay here and 'take care' of Konoha after I leave. I'm not going to take this lieing down damnit. I'm going to fight back. Anko you are going to go with the gaki and help him. I'm gonna give you enough money to last for a few months living comfortably. You'll also take some scrolls with you containing some gifts the council was oh-so-generous in providing you. After I settle things here, me and Shizune are going to come with you and help the gaki as much as possible. I'm guessing Jiraiya you won't stay here for long eh?"

"Like hell I am. I'm not coming back to this shithole. Should never even have left Naruto here in the first place. Damn sensei for trusting the council so much. Damn civilians do whatever they want to."

"Not anymore Jiraiya. Not anymore. I'm gonna cripple them so much they won't be able to walk straight for months. And its starting today. Anko, Shizune, Jiraiya, would to mind coming with me to the council meeting? I think you're going to love it."

Later at the Council Chamber

The council was celebrating. They had finally sent the damn demon brat away! Now Tsunade would break and they would gain complete control. Meanwhile Danzou would make a proper weapon to serve them and their needs. It was all good. That abruptly changed as they saw Tsunade and co. walking inside. Something was not going according to plan but they didn't dwell on it. Victory was so sweet. After the starting proceedures Tsunade got up and went on to break their day.

"Ok enough with formalities and nice speaking. You jackasses have taken too much power and forgot where it came from. You bastards banished Naruto? Under who's power? Who the FUCK gave YOU dimwitted fuck-ups the power to banish one of MY shinobi? You forgot one simple thing you sons of bitches. This is NOT a fucking democracy. Here I am JUDGE JURY AND EXECUTIONER. NOW SHUT THE FUCK UP! You bastards commited treason upon your Hokage by usurping my power. Know what? Screw you. You are all hereby stripped of all your rights and powers. I HEREBY DISBAND THE COUNCIL! Kakashi show yourself you traitorous fuck. For crimes against the Hokage and breaking your oath to Konoha I hereby strip you of rank. You are FIRED." Gasps echo'ed and Kakashi tried to make a comeback but Tsunade never gave him time. "You will be stripped of all clan holdings and rights. You will be stripped of your Sharingan eye, which will be destroyed. Your chakra circulatory system will be destroyed and your fingers broken beyond repair. You will also be neutered. Your crimes will end your line. I would ask Inoichi to remove knowledge of jutsu but I want you lucid enough to feel the whole weight of the punishment. If you're wondering your crimes include assault and battery of a civilian, refusing a mission, failing S-ranked missions, falsifieing reports, do I even need to go on? I don't think so. You disgraced Obito's, Minato's and even your own father's memory. You abandoned your comrades, showed favouritism and ignored the dieing plea of the one man to treat you nicely. ANBU take that scum out of here. Oh and Hatake?" Tsunade whispered the next stuff to the nearly broken man. "If Minato had a son who would he look like? Think about it and rot. You're worse than scum." Kakashi upon hearing this broke down and started screaming before the ANBU took him away.

Tsunade turned to the civilian council with an evil smirk. "This was just the beggining assholes. One little excuse. Just one little excuse and I will make Kakashi's punishment seem pleasurable. You are dismissed. Permanently." Tsunade turned on her heel and left the gob-smacked council looking at her. At the exit she stopped and looked over her shoulder "Oh and I took some liberties to make sure this doesn't happen again. I have sent the fines for your treachery to the banks already and cashed them out. I also made sure to tax you for the years you haven't been. Lastly I'll be checking over some accounts. Wouldn't want to have someone stealing other clan's money or kami forbid Konoha's treasury now would we? Have a nice day jerks." And with that Tsunade left the council with a snickering shinobi council, a laughing Anko, a giggling Shizune and a nearly crying Jiraiya. This was so much fun! She should do it more often!

With Naruto and Hinata

Naruto stopped eating his beloved ramen from heaven and looked towards the Hokage tower.

"A-ano Naruto-kun, w-what's w-wrong?"

"I dunno Hinata-chan. Just got the sneaking suspicion I should be rolling on the floor laughing and then hug baa-chan." Ignoring his feelings Naruto dived right back into his ramen with a vengeance. Taking care to order a bunch of extras, for the way, sealing them in his scroll. Chouji's recipes were good, but nothing compares with Ichiraku's Ramen of Heavenly Goodness. Just ask Naruto. He knows his ramen.

Naruto spent that night in Anko's apartment, enjoying his nee-san's dango and stories, sharing his pain with the one other person to understand him to some point.

The Next Day- Hokage Tower- Three Hours Before Banishment

Naruto stood on top of the Hokage tower, hell-raising smirk in place. Beside him the rest of the Konoha 10, Tsunade, Anko and Shizune stood. They all had the most wicked smirk on their faces. Some members of the shinobi council stood next to them as well. They knew what was coming but they had to see it with their own eyes. Naruto walked at the edge and remove his shirt, revealing his stomach. Channeling a bit of chakra, the seal containing the Kyubi appeared. Naruto smirked before clapping his hands together and emitting a huge amount of chakra. Naruto started doing handseals, that if one knew, were the handseals for summoning the Shinigami in reverse order.

"SHIKI FUUJIN! KAI!"

With that cry Naruto slapped both of his chakra-charged hands on his seal, channeling more chakra than any five jounin had, into the seal. To everyone's amazement the seal started dissolving and something came out. A blinding flash of light came from Naruto and out of the seeming sphere-shaped globe that erupted before him, four red-haired legs appeared, followed by two bunny-styled ears and nine tails. By the time the light faded away... Kyubi no Yoko was free. Kyubi roared shaking the village.

Naruto almost fell to a knee from the exhertion. He wouldn't allow it though. Hinata made to support him but Anko stopped her. Naruto had to do this alone.

Meanwhile civilians and Shinobi were looking in abject terror at the figure of the Kyubi. The demon lord was back and there was hell to pay. The more reasonable of them understood the fact that maybe they had pushed a bit more than the seal could take, and now that it wasn't in place... well it wasn't gonna be nice. Karma was a real bitch. The rest just curled up in balls and cursed the demon-brat. The great demon ROARED again and life seemed to be sqeezed away. Meanwhile Naruto had erected a barrier with his chakra protecting his friends and allies. The rest... were not so lucky. As Kyubi made to smack his tails on the ground...

"OI Kyubi! Stop scaring the heck out of these idiots!"

"Hahaha! Just like you squirt! Not even before me do you cower. Impressive, just like your father."

"Guess it runs in the family furball." By now most shinobi that weren't drowning in pools of drool from the shock and fear were listening. Who the heck was Naruto's father that actually impressed the demon lord?

"I still remember that blond gaki on top of that ugly toad Gamabunta. I tell you your dad and that huge frog made on heck of a team. Second human to survive my wrath and the first to actually impress me. I guess that makes you third and second huh brat?"

Dawning realization came upon the few that were still sane... Gamabunta+blonde=Yondaime. Oh holy fucking crap of a hell chicken. They had been hurting the Yondaime's own SON.

"Told ya it runs in the family. Though my mom's has better firepower. That kekkei-genkai Hatake suppressed? I tell you chakra manipulation has never been THIS fun Kyubi. No wonder mom was called Crimson Death. Heck she would have impressed you too if she hadn't been poisoned by that fuck-up Danzou and his butt-buddy Orochimaru."

Konoha was shaking in her -imaginative- boots, or sandals as they were. There was only one Crimson Death and that was Uzumaki Kushina. Now the problem was; Kushina's Kekkei Genkai+Kyubi's power+pissed off wielder=ownage and pwnage.

"Heh if you're anything to go by I wouldn't doubt it. Really the most unpredictable Shinobi of the world brat. Managing to find and destroy that accursed berserker seal that had me acting like a mindless animal at the behest of that Uchiha bastard."

Things were not good for Konoha, that much were certain. Those that had been celebrating about the brat's banishment now were cursing themselves and their luck. Maybe if they offered accepting him or money or wives he'd come back? Then all would be good right? Right? He wouldn't say no if they made him Jounin or gave him jutsu? Right?

"Anyway as much as I love talking to yo Kyubi, which is not much compared to me talking to Anko-nee, we gotta complete our deal. I've let you out and even let you scare the crap out of Konoha. Got your preparations finished on your side?"

"Heh disrespectful brat. I still AM the most powerful Bijuu damnit! Show me some respect! Then again if you did you wouldn't be Naruto would you? Anyway yeah I completed my side. I'll give up my place as a bijuu and go home to my vixens, while giving you the summoning scroll for the Kitsune Demons. Keh who would have thought I'd end up supporting the village I almost destroyed. Even if had gone half-assed on you. Or quarter-assed as it were. Anyway here's the summoning contract, sign it just like the toads and let's get this over with."

Kyubi flicked one of his tails at Naruto and something landed before him. Naruto took his time cutting his finger and scribing his name on it.

"Heh thanks Kyubi, you're not a bad guy after all. Just a liiiitle bit on the bloodthirsty side. Anyway I'm done. Don't ya worry Kyubi, I'll call you out to play often I think. Especially if any Konoha bastard wants a piece of me or me to come back here 'cause of who my parents were. Anyway don't ya have a family to get to? I'm sure 13 years away from the missus must have been hard. I don't even want to imagine what that liquid was in the seal's room."

Kyubi made a disgusted face. Meanwhile Konoha blanched at Naruto's declaration of calling the Kyubi if they tried to get him back. This was SO not good.

"Hey I had to relieve myself you know! Hey hey I'm only joking. It was just your unshed tears from all the shit these fools put you through. To think they confused a scrawny weak ningen brat with ME of all things. Bloody idiots. If you were me, they'd have died the same night they first tried to murder you 12 years ago in that craddle. Feh idiots. Anyway before I go I'll give ya a little gift. I'll strengthen your bloodline a bit. Of course it won't be like the Sharingan I made some few hundred years ago, I learned my mistakes from that fiasco. Instead I'm just gonna give you all elemental affinities and the ability to use affinities you can manipulate instead of the raw chakra with your Kekkei Genkai. Knowing you, that's gonna be more useful to you than that damnable Sharingan. To think I made that... even if I did it to combat that damned Dragon's Byakugan, it wasn't one of my brightest moments. Anyway I'm gonna have some fun with my vixen instead of griping like an old fox. See ya brat!"

With an earth-shaking roar, Kyubi's youkai flared around him before a smoke covered him, and when the smoke was gone, the Kyubi was gone as well. In his wake he left an exhilarated Naruto, his happy friends, a terrified village and a catatonic Kakashi.

"Damn furball is not gonna let his mate get out of the den for the next week. Heh whatever, he deserves it. I just hope he doesn't get any kids yet or he'll be moving here full time to escape his mate, if any stories he has of her temper are anything to go by." Naruto chuckled to himself as he let the barrier collapse.

Most of Konoha 10 and Naruto's few allies by now were just gawking at the blonde. Seriously who had the guts to talk to the effin' Kyubi like that? Well someone actually did. Inuzuka Tsume and Mitarashi Anko laughed. Naruto laughed with them before going to his nee-san.

"Alright Anko-nee. We'll wait a bit and then I'm gonna summon us a Kitsune for transportation. Still have a couple of hours to get out of Konoha."

"Sure brat. Just lemme get our ehh... travelling supplies from Tsunade before we go. Can't let ya go half arsed out there now can I? Not to mention you don't know half the things you should. Ah well more fun for me I guess."

After the shinobi councilmembers that were present left, Naruto and his friends started talking and planning on what they'd do next. It had been a fun hour for them until Naruto had to leave.

Naruto got up and dusted himself off before turning to his friends one last time.

"Shika don't be so damnably lazy anymore. You might be smart but you need to be strong as well to protect your friends. Chouji, make sure he stops being so scrawny and weak. In fact cut down on your dosage and up his. Ino, keep these bakas in line ok? I swear sometimes they are hopeless. Lee continue on your path, just tone it down a bit. Passion is nice, but sometimes discretion is the better part of valour as they say. Tenten, keep that baka alive ok? Neji, now that you've opened your eyes, look for what's truly important and keep it safe. Friends, true friends, are something worth giving your soul for, not merely your life, I should know. Shino, keep your team safe and make sure Kiba doesn't get lost in the forests. Kiba, protect the pack from all threats, not just the ones you can see and smell. Tsunade-baa-chan, I know you like sake and gambling but you should really cut it down. Life is short, so make the most of it. Shizune-nee-chan, keep Tsunade in line. She's got a new stash in her office by the way." Naruto turned to Hinata and looked straight in her eyes. "I who have ignored your existence for the longest time, cannot ask anything of you Hinata-chan. I can only tell you that the strength you have is greater than anyone else's, for your power is your kindness. I believe in you."

Leaving poor Hinata in a daze, Naruto gathered his chakra, made a few handseals and summoned a large fox. It was about as large as a horse, with three tails and was colored rust red.

"Hmm so you're the one Kyubi-sama told us of. You don't look much."

"And yet I could summon the old furball here and have him kick your ass. Not all things are obvious Kitsune-chan."

"Hmm just as Kyubi-sama said, you've got spunk. Very well, what do you need me for?"

"I just want you to carry me and Anko-nee here somewhere. I was intending on summoning a fast fox, so I'm guessing you're the fastest I could get with that chakra right?"

"Correct. My name is Hayase, meaning speed. I am an effective fighter too, but I do so prefer simply running. So where to?"

"Wave country for starters. I got a long overdue meeting over there. But before we go..."

Naruto lept on his summon and used a jutsu to make his voice sound loud enough to be heard all over Konoha.

"Before I go I got a few things to say. SCREW YOU! Screw you Konoha, screw you Koharu, screw you Homura, let's not forget to screw you Danzou but most importantly SCREW YOU KAKASHI! Thank you all very much for being insufferable jackasses that wouldn't find their way out of a paper bag. So SCREW YOU BITCHES!" Naruto screamed to Konoha, giving them a nice view of his middle finger at every 'screw you' declaration. Right after he pulled Anko on Hayase. "ONWARDS! WITH ALL SPEED!!! HAHAHA!" Laughing like a maniac, Naruto urged his Kitsune mount onwards to wave. The fox had to hand it to the brat, that was one heck of a goodbye. Anko in fact was laughing so hard, Naruto had to hold her steady or she'd fall.

Back in Konoha, the people were still looking at where Naruto had been. The shinobi council was snickering and Tsunade was outright laughing. One-upping at its finest.

"Now Danzou... We all heard about you and Orochimaru... a well known traitor... Which makes you a traitor yourself."

Danzou stepped out of the shadows he was hiding in with a small army of ROOT agents.

"I regret nothing Tsunade. Orochimaru only wanted some in Konoha dead. I would rule over the rest and bring Konoha to its rightfull place. If it wasn't for that demon brat I would have had all the power in my hand-"

Killer intent washed over him. Danzou blinked a few times before realizing it came from the Hyuga heir who was slowly removing her coat, chakra flaring around her.

"What... did... you... call Naruto-kun?"

"What do you care for the demon brat? He's just a bastard son of a-"

Hinata disappeared from view and appeared in front of Danzou, rearing her palm. Danzou's eyes widened before Hinata called her technique:

"Tengen! (Divine Judgement)"

Her palm landed on Danzou on the chest and her charkra spread all over him. At first there was nothing. Then...

CR-CRACK!

And Danzou fell on his knees. Tsunade looked in wonder. That was an unmastered jutsu, but its idea and execution were flawless. It just needed some more work. Still...

"Damn Hinata... You broke every bone in his chest area.... That's one heck of an attack for being incomplete."

Everyone, including the ROOT, were gaping at her. Hinata panted before taking up an offencive stance but was interrupted by the ROOT, as they ran to protect their master. Tsunade smirked at them.

"Your loyalty is... admirable at least. But are you forgetting something? If we fight here, especially with me, you are going to loose and Danzou will die. It would be better for all of you to surrender correct?"

The ROOT knew they had no choice, they had to surrender. After all Tsunade was bound to heal Danzou-sama. Bowing their heads they kneeled before Tsunade as ANBU came to take them away.

"Now Hinata-chan, mind explaining what that move was? It was impressive."

"H-hai... Yesterday, Naruto-kun asked me to come with me to a training ground, where he showed me how he could use fuuton-chakra. When he asked me to copy him I c-couldn't. I c-couldn't make fuuton-chakra but I had noticed something. Fuuton chakra when concentrated, tends to vibrate at high frequencies. I-I found I could replicate that on my normal chakra. It t-took a lot but I managed it. I c-could make my chakra vibrate in high frequencies. I simply c-chose the frequency of bone. T-Tengen is incomplete. I c-can vibrate only one frequency when I used it so I didn't do as much as I could. I only w-weakened the outer layer of his bones so they collapsed on themselves. I-if I had b-better control o-or more chakra I w-would have killed him."

"Well that's one kick ass technique Hinata. Anyway want to come to my office later on? I do so want to hear more about it."

"H-Hai Tsunade-sama."

And slowly the grop dispersed, thinking about the show they had just received but also knowing that the soul of the village had been exiled in such a cowardly way. Hard times were ahead.

Meanwhile Naruto was making good time to Wave Country and was looking forward to seeing Inari, Tsunami and Tazuna again.

A/N: Ok chapter two complete. I am waiting for your opinion. Mind you as I've said already I haven't thought much about and it is a perfectly good opportunity for me to poke fun at and bash everything in sight. You've been warned!

By the way thanks for all the reviews. Love'em all :D
