Chapter 4:

Tsunade had spent a lot of time preparing her and her allie's exodus from Konoha. It was going to be quite fun to see the Oh-so-great-and-superior Konoha fall to its knees because of a single gennin. No Naruto was definitely not a single gennin. Member of various political assignments, jinchuuriki and an abnormally good person, Naruto stood out, orange jumpsuit or not. Of course many would disagree and call him monster or defiler of Yondaime's good name. Then others would call him Namikaze-sama and beg his forgiveness. Idiots the lot of them. The best way to characterize Naruto was simply... Naruto. He was one of a kind, unique and the most surprising ninja of the world, not just the little village of Konoha. Tsunade reminiscent the good times in her office, both before Naruto was exiled and after it. She really had some favourites. Such as Sakura...

Flashback

Tsunade was having a perfectly good day doing nothing, Shizune actually approving of it, since neither cared about Konoha anymore. After all they would both be gone from in very VERY soon. All of a sudden a pink-haired, gorilla-strong banshee barged inside the office without even knocking. Seriously was that thing a shinobi? A kunoichi at that? Pink dress, pink hair, shiny forehead, shrill voice, no manners... Tsunade almost felt sorry for Konoha and her low standards. Almost.

"Tsunade-sama! I want to become your apprentice!"

"Excuse me?"

"I want to become your apprentice!"

"And why pray tell?"

"Because I have awesome chakra control and so I can care for Sasuke-kun! Besides with your techniques I will be able to help Sasuke-kun and he will fall in love with me and marry me and..." And the being kept on ranting about her future with the ever-so-awesome Uuuchihaaa Saaasukeee!!!, divine light shining down on her as she extolled Sasuke's numerous virtues... Or something like that.

"Let me think about it- NO."

"What? Why not Tsunade-sama?"

"Because I don't want to. Now git. You annoy me."

"B-but kaa-san told me I should come to you and tell you to take me as your apprentice! The councils agreed!"

"And I care about the councils because?"

"Isn't it obvious? Because they are right! I mean they banished that monster Naruto and-"

"Get out."

"Wha?"


"Get. Out. Now."

"But Tsunade-sama!"

"It is Senju-sama or Hokage-sama you stupid fangirl. Get the fuck out of my room. Now. I have no patience for fools like you."

"No! I will not leave until you make my your apprentice! You don't understand! I have to get Sasuke-kun's heart! I have to-"

Suddenly Hinata appeared from a side door before speaking coldly; "Become his slut for all of time, we know Haruno. Now get the heck out. Tsunade-sensei was getting ready for my lessons and we happen to not have time for insufferable fangirls like you. For all your vaunted intelligence you really are an idiot Haruno. Now leave us alone."

Sakura looked at Hinata before scowling. "The pale-eyed freak. What do you want? I know you liked that idiot fox freak Uzumaki" Hinata twitched "Unless you changed. That's it isn't it? You finally realized realized how cool and awesome my Sasuke-kun is eh? That's why you're training with Tsunade-sama right?" Hinata and Tsunade twitched "You want him for yourself right? So you can treat him and then steal him away from me with your tricks and oversized boobs right?!" Even Kage started twitching "Well I won't lose! Tsunade-sama! I demand that I be taught like the Hyuga here! I can't loose my Sasuke-kun to the hands of this slut!"

By now even the cute Ongaku was up from its resting place on Tsunade's lap (Tonton had gone with Shizune on an errand) and was looking curously at her. Of course as soon as Sakura saw Ongaku she almost flew towards her in order to grab her and squish her screaming 'KAWAI!!!'. Or well she tried. It seems insulting a certain blonde knucklehead doesn't sit well with a certain Hyuga. Hinata appeared before the leaping Sakura, deflected both her hands with a spin before sending a very powerful Jyuken strike in Sakura's gut, knocking out the inane banshee with sheer pain. Then she looked at the Hokage, smirked and promptly kicked Sakura with a jyuken-enhanced foot right in her womanhood. Results; instant neutering as well as a destroyed bladder.

Tsunade was looking at the ceiling, whistling innocently. Hinata giggled once, in a weird semi-innocent, semi-guilty way that was so out of the way of the usually timid Hyuga before summoning the the ANBU stationed invisible inside the room reacted, half shuddering, half laughing at the unfortunate fangirl.

End Flashback

Oh these were fun times Tsunade surmised. Definitely the highlights of it all. Sakura blew a gasket when she woke up tied to a bed. Of course she tried to press charges against the Hyuga but with so many eye-witnesses swearing they saw her physically assault the Hokage... it was a lost cause. And the stupid girl didn't even know of the status of her genitals. Tsunade snorted, food poisoning her huge and glorious breasts. It was real fun. Just like that time with Sarutobi's old teammates...

Flashback

Homura and Koharu, or more commonly dubbed Ancient Duet by Naruto himself, barged into Tsunade's office. The Hokage sighed internally. What was with all those idiots never using proper ways? Half her jounin jumped in from the window, her ANBU and the rest jounin just shunshined and everyone else barged in like they owned the place these days. Was knocking such a hard job for these people?! Or were they just retarded? Then Tsunade remembered that these people hated Naruto for actually keeping them alive so yeah that kind of made sense. If they can't tell a 100feet tall nine-tailed demon lord of doom in the shape of a fox with buny ears (she still cracked at the nickname bunny-chan that Naruto affectionately gave Kyubi, behind said being's back of course) with the kindest child to walk this land... Well she would rest her case. Bloody idiots. Was this really the Konoha that her grandfather and granduncle had built? This was pathetic Tsunade surmised. Just pathetic.

Moving on though, the duo of political doom, mental death and moral decay stepped inside, barely noting Hinata standing next to Tsunade helping her with some files.

"Tsunade we have come here to tell you of our dislike about your rash actions. You will re-instate the council. It is our decision."

Tsunade promptly ignored them and kept talking with Hinata.

"Tsunade! We do not have time for your childish games anymore! You will listen to us and re-instate the council! Immidiately."

Tsunade looked up from her papers and looked at them. "Your advice is duly noted. You shall be informed of my decision on the matter at my convenience. You can go civilians."

The two bristled at this. "Tsunade this is enough! Are you going insane? If needed we shall go to the Daimyo and we will get the council restored it is after all-"

"Would you two shut the hell up? I'm having a real hard time deciding which team to give this D-rank mission to... Hmmm cleaning the public toilets of Konohagakure looks real hard, I think our top team, cell 5 (chuunin team consisting of Naruto-haters) should handle it. What do you think Hinata-chan?"

"I have to agree Hokage-sama, it is indeed a most harsh job, fit only for proffesionals like team 5. I think it will suit them fine."

The elders once again tried to push. "Tsunade we're warning you! This is going to go to the Daimyo! Your head is in trouble here!"

Of course they forgot that when someone pushes, they should be prepared for someone to push back. "Oh really now? Since you're throwing his name so freely, how calling him over here? So I can show him every lie you've told him? Besides, he's been sent the full extent of Naruto's doings. He knows everything, including your conspiracy to overthrow me. So don't go around threatening me civilians, or be prepared for me to decimate you. I am not a foolish little girl you can push around. I am Senju Tsunade, Godaime Hokage! So get the fuck out of my office you fossils before I decide to get even. I'm sure everyone will mourn your unfortunate demise from heart failure. Noone will ever think about that little poison I made back in the war. Remember it? I've improved it, tasteless, odorless, colorless, doesn't react to any poison marker... Really beautiful thing. Trully wondrous. Now git."

The elders left knowing they had lost everything. If only Danzou was still amongst them... But the old hawk was still being treated by the medics, who were less than gentle, not to mention his body went through extreme changes with the removal of an arm and an eye.

End Flashback

Tsunade laughed a lot that day. Especially at the faces of the elders and cell 5. They really had that coming for a long, long time. Filling a saucer with some sake she toasted to the plan's success.

Meanwhile Shizune was busy as hell. Between her rounds at the hospital, the library raids and the law twisting she had to do... It was real hard. She could rest easy though, as far as Tsunade was concerned though. Hinata would keep her in line.

Hinata and the rest of Konoha's 10 were in Tsunade's house, having what is could be called, a war meeting. It came as a surprise to most when Hinata appeared at their house and asked them to come over to Tsunade's home to discuss some things.

"S-so how's e-everyone? I-I asked y-you to c-come because I h-ave to t-tell you s-something. In a couple of w-weeks... I'm leaving Konoha."

Of course said statement caused a lot of shouting, protests and questions. Hinata took a deep breath, steadied herself and began:

"Its because I just can't stand being in a place that hates Naruto-kun. Most still hate him even after they found out about the fox. The rest just try to play good with him to get their hands on his clan name. It is in short disgusting. I hate it. So, I'm leaving this place. I mean what do I have here? I have two friends and an abusive family, which is much more than anything Naruto-kun could ever claim. So I'm going with him. Besides I won't be going alone. Tsunade-sama and Shizune-senpai will be coming along as well. You can come with me too if you want. You and your clans. I mean this is not Konoha. Not the Konoha it is supposed to be. Look outside, its a bigoted place filled with fools. I hate it. I'm going with Naruto-kun. I called you here to tell this as well as invite you with me. However, you don't have to make this decision right now. Think about it."

"But why should we leave? I mean Konoha is our home!" countered Kiba. "We can't abandon the pack!"

"I never said this Kiba. But tell me, what do you fight for? You fight for your home right? What is your home? Is it the wood and stone or the people that make it? Think about it Kiba... Besides I said you don't have to make the decision right now. Nor do you have to go along. I happen to know some things... After Tsunade-sama will be gone, Jiraiya-sama will become Hokage. You can leave with him. You and your families. We'll cut the chain that binds us to this place, trapped by civilians and be free for once. We'll probably become nomads for some time, going from place to place until we settle down and make a new home. A proper home this time. One where people will be accepted regardless of looks or age or burden or clan or bloodline. I know it sounds great right now to some or horrible to others. That's why I'm telling you to think about it. Take your time. I mean Kiba, who makes up your pack? Do you want your pack to be people that banish others because they got the short end of the stick? I beg you please think about it. Not now, but in time. We have a chance to change the world, change our fates, be free. Let's not waste it. Not for fools that would never accept us anyway. They are not worth it."

"What about Konoha? What will happen to it Hinata?" Inquired a curious Shino.

"Konoha has dug her own grave. You may not know it but Naruto-kun is seen as a hero in many lands. Exiling him for a burden he never chose isn't going to sit well with them and unfortunately for Konoha, they are very important people like Nami No Kuni and Yuki No Kuni. Not to mention other lands will stop trusting Konoha. I mean we just exiled the son of our greatest hero for keeping everyone safe, while completed his mission. Not to mention the fact that Naruto-kun has the power to summon the Kyubi and a powerful Kekkei Genkai. Few will trust Konoha any longer. If Konoha doesn't fall from lack of external funds, it is going to fall from lack of internal funds. The Namikaze, Uzumaki and Senju accounds consist of about 50% of Konoha's cash and its going away soon. Not only that but Tsunade-sama went to the Daimyo and told him the full story about Naruto-kun. I read the letter he sent... It was... colorful. Konoha is no longer protected by its Daimyo."

It was Ino's turn this time. "B-but what about our homes? Where will we settle? How will we survive?"

"That's why you're going to have to wait a bit. Most likely we'll live as nomads for sometime, unless Naruto-kun becomes strong enough to claim his mother's lands. Other than that, we'll become strong and trusted enough to take missions instead of Konoha or other countries. Konoha will fall. We can rise. If you're wondering the land Naruto-kun can claim is the entire Uzu no Kuni, a huge island surrounded by whirlpools, which is next to impossible to cross unless you know the way. It was destroyed by Uchiha Madara and Kyubi. Besides as Mother always said, home is where your heart is. I don't know about you but my heart is with Naruto-kun."

Lee and Tenten seemed to be quite agreeable, after all both were orphans and had very little ties to the village. Shino was thinking about it as well. The only problem his clan would encounter would be transfering their colonies, but that could also be fixed. Next to Shino was Shikamaru, also in deep thought. He couldn't live with traitors. Besides living like that seemed... un-troublesome in fact. Kiba agreed mostly, especially after what Hinata told him about his pack. He was sure the rest of the clan would agree as well. Chouji would agree with whatever Shikamaru said, besides he didn't have much tolerance for traitors either. Neji... Neji was conflicted. He could leave but what about the secondary branch's fate? Hiashi alone could just kill them all with a hand seal. If it weren't for that damnable seal... Ino too was confused. Her eternal crush proved to be a traitor, the dead-last proved to be a hero and so many things were changing. Thankfully, Ongaku in her lap proved to be very good at calming her down.

"Look, you can talk to your families and think about it. Besides it won't be just us shinobi. Some civilians may want to come along, disgusted by Konoha's actions. No I'm not talking about Ichiraku's alone. Believe it or not some in fact regret their past actions and want to make up for it. Its just that the majority of this place still hates people like Naruto-kun. Well if they don't want to see the truth, we shouldn't push them. Just leave them be, their own actions condemn them. Just think about this offer please. That's all I'm asking of you."

With Hinata's speech complete, her friends started leaving. Hinata just collapsed on the couch and sighed. That was positively one of the hardest things in her life. She lifted Ongaku in the air, looked at her and spoke. "Well Ongaku-chan, that's done. Now we wait..."

"Hai Hinata-chan. Nice speech by the way. How did you manage to not stutter?"

"Simple. I reminded myself why I was doing it and what I was getting away from. After that it was easy. I don't think I'll be able to do it again though... Not soon anyway."

"Its alright Hinata-chan. Don't worry, I'll help and so will Naruto-sama when you meet him."

Hinata just sighed. "Naruto-kun..."

Meanwhile Shizune had taken great care to gather a large amount of scrolls for the journey. She giggled at Jiraiya's face when Kage told him about their plan. Jiraiya was shocked for a bit before grinning widely. To use sealing like this... Jiraira laughed while drawing seals around a certain mansion. This project could take days. Thankfully Jiraiya was a seal master otherwise it would be completely impossible. Jiraiya's smile never left his fac while he laboured day and night around a huge estate that had been abandoned for thirteen whole years... Now Jiraiya knew exactly why the Kitsune clan was feared amongst the summons. They had one badass mean streak.

In Nami no Kuni, a blonde boy looked at a certain chibi fox before giving it a new message.

"Alright Ongaku, off you go to Hinata-chan." Then said blonde turned to Anko with a feral smirk. "Its all coming along nicely. Konoha never deserved my father's legacy. Now let's see them squirm. Anyway nee-chan, I think I should stop using chakra soon. After all the day of the Kage's exodus is coming and we gotta prepare for them. Hehehehe, Konoha hasn't seen the last of Uzumaki-Namikaze Naruto. Not by one hell of a long shot!"

A few days later Ongaku returned to Naruto and whispered some news to his ear. Anko noticed the smirk on Naruto's face. Konoha was going to get another punch in the genitals. Going to a huge clearing, Naruto took a kunai, nicked his fingers and began handseals, chakra flaring around him. Ongaku safely perched on Anko's shoulders, she giggled along with her mount err carrier. Naruto finished his handeals, gathered his chakra to his hands. slapped his hands to the ground and shouted: "Tajuu Kitsune Kuchiyose no Jutsu!"

Puffs of smoke erupted all around the clearing and concealed it. When it dispersed there stood...

A/N: God... this chapter a pain to write... I had to stop every ten seconds when writing Sakura's parts. How do other writers do it?!? It annoyed the heck out of me. Anyway, this chappie came out fast. My guess is because this one is actually the easiest fic I ever had to write (apart from Sakura's part that is *shudder shudder*). Hope you liked this chappie, even with the small cliffie. What will naruto summon this time around? What is his plan? How will he ridicule Konoha one more time? Did you like the chapter? Hate it? Do I have to change something? I'll be waiting for your reviews :D
