The golden rays of the sun poked through whatever small spaces they could to provide nourishment for the plants below. A difficult task due to the dense canopy that made up the upper layers of vegetation in the Forest of Death. Naruto was currently resting beneath one of the massive trees native to the dangerous forest after ultimately deciding to stay since he felt more at home here than with the people that were family in nothing but blood. He stayed in the forbidden zone of the Forest of Death since it provided him the perfect place for him to train and not be disturbed by anyone who might be venturing in the forest.

The wild life didn't bother him either, which was a plus in anyone's book. Giant bears, giant centipedes, giant wolves, giant snakes...there was a lot of giant carnivores in the forest, but once you didn't bother them they would do you no harm. Unless they were hungry of course in which case Naruto, or rather Saeko, would release a small burst of youkai warning them not to come any closer when they wished to enter his personal bubble. Said bubble had a wide berth so some of the animals learned to not enter Naruto's 'safety zone'.

The vessel of the Juubi no Bakemono took a deep breath of air and released a contented sigh. To some it may be Death's playground, but for Naruto it felt like home.

Naruto would make a clone to withdraw some cash from his former clan's account so he can buy some cloths, survival tools, and necessary materials needed to maintain his hygiene. Naruto would sometimes order the clone to check if his former family noticed he was gone, but fortunately (with a tad of unfortunately) the people he would have called his family had met his expectations as they haven't noticed that he wasn't even at the dining table when they were eating breakfast.

Since he stayed in the Forest of Death, Naruto made his own home with the help of his Wood Release technique to make a small tree house. Above the tree house he could see the whole forest including the village, it helps when you have a very powerful Dojutsu that acts like a telescope to observe if any things had changed with his former family, but after a week he gave up. Clearly they hadn't even noticed him gone. If anything. they seemed to be more happy about it. He also kept an eye on the civilian populace for just-in-case purposes, but Naruto paid them no mind since he didn't care for their opinions nor did he try to change their views on him since he simply did not care for any of them at all.

He could care less if the village was invaded and all the men turn into slaves, the women were force to be nothing more than mere sex toys or amusement, yes even his own sister or mother.

It showed how he gave up on this place along with its people and he could justify it. The people of this village had made him into an outcast, branded him a demon, tried multiple times to kill him, and his own family denied him his existence by ignoring him. Hell, he even heard some villager ask his former parents about it and they either laughed at them or told them to go away or stop making jokes or lies.

But he didn't care since he already had his piece of happiness and soon he'd finally be rid of this place for good.

He already got the documents signed that emancipated him from his clan. Minato didn't even raise an eyebrow or notice what it was nor did the young Hokage notice that this was the first time in the longest time that Naruto had approached him away from the compound. He didn't even take in his new appearance. But at least now he was rid of them in all but blood...but he'd find a way to change that eventually.

The important parts of the document were that he (Naruto) would be the only one that could break the contract, fifty-five percent of the clan finances and scrolls would go to him (Naruto), and they can't force him (Naruto) to break the contract.

Naruto woke up with a satisfied grin on his face the clearly said 'I just had sex'. Naruto made two clones to catch some fish in the nearby lake while he took a look at his new weapon.

"It seems your weapon is finally finished, but what would you call it?" Saeko asked. Naruto thought on it for a moment. He needed a name that would complement the weapon's abilities and features. Naruto spun the weapon around in his hands and watched with childish glee as it shifted into its gun mode and then back into its blade form. The sounds of the form changes were like music to his ears and thus...the name came to him.

"Gunblade Overture...that will be its name." Naruto said with a satisfied smile on his face. Naruto quickly grasp the handle of Overture then horizontally slashed a tree, making a perfectly clean cut along the thick bark.

With a quick twitch of the wrist, Overture changed to its gun mode. Naruto then fired off a three condensed chakra bullets, the concussive rounds piercing each tree that Naruto targeted. Then Naruto concentrated in channeling his fire affinity to Overture.

"Now let's see if this works. Come on, give me fire bullets." He said with a hopeful tone of voice. He pressed his finger on the trigger and his eyes brightened as the gun-blade fired off three fire bullets. Satisfied with the results Naruto changed Overture back to its blade mode and then sheathed it

"Are you satisfied with the results, love?" Saeko asked. Naruto chuckled as he was indeed happy with the results.

"Yes I am. Overture is able to handle my chakra allowing me to fire off a condensed chakra bullet. I'll call that technique, Ruin for a small portion of chakra if I want to knock them out. Then I'll have the Ruinga for a high portion of chakra if I want to kill my opponent off. I was also further pleased that Overture was able fire off elemental bullets." Naruto said with a large smile that threatened to split his face.

"Well I'm very happy that my lover is happy gaining a new toy, but for now go take a shower then go and buy the items we need for our departure" Saeko said, reminding him on the task at hand.

"Yeah, don't worry. I'll send some Kage Bunshins to withdraw some cash from my former clan's accounts then have them Henge to buy the supplies we need." Naruto said. True to his word, the blonde immediately made four clones, ordering them to get everything ready for their departure.

Naruto then made his way to the lake and washed himself before returning to the tree house to change into a clean set of clothes. Once he was fully clothed, he decided to try out some of combat techniques with Overture atop the lake, but paused in doing so as he felt an odd sensation and noise reach his body and ears, respectively.

"Saeko something is resonating from further in the forest. Think we should check it out?" Naruto asked. The Juubi no Bakemono hummed in thought within her lover's mindscape before nodding.

"Go on ahead. I am also curious as to what could cause such things, but be on your guard Naruto-kun." Saeko said. Naruto nodded and leaped into the brush to search for his the source of his rising curiosity. After a few minutes of hopping from tree branch to tree branch, the blonde vessel came to a stop when he arrived at his destination.

He dropped down and his blue eyes widened in amazement as he began to glance around the area. Naruto was surprised to find a forest full of sakura trees. "Wow this place would be perfect for our first date or wedding." Naruto said. Saeko blushed at the idea Naruto had.

"I agree, but does it seems strange that this place is full of sakura trees. Go further in Naruto-kun, the source may be deeper within." She said.

As he ventured further in to the forest of pink, Naruto could feel that whatever power was within the rose coloured forest was connected to each of the cherry blossom tree, if the power coming off them was any indication. It was like a thread that was connected to a single source and whatever that source was, it was very powerful.

"Be on your guard Naruto-kun. Whatever is at the end of this forest is powerful, do not underestimate it." Saeko warned her lover. Naruto nodded and drew Overture from its sheath.

Naruto arrive at the middle of the forest and the saw the source of power he was feeling. He was in shock to find the source was a woman. One whose beauty was on par with Saeko's he noticed. Though the light growl from said Juubi made him aware that she was not exactly pleased with hearing that thought.

The unknown woman was currently sitting on a large bolder, letting her legs dangle from her perch. She had long, light pink hair, pale blue coloured eyes and slightly tanned skin. She wore a purple dress with a flowering design that accented the curves of her figure, namely her wide hips and C-Cup breasts. On her feet were a pair of metallic pink high heels.

Naruto gaze upon her and was instantly entranced by her beauty. She was the second person he had ever met, aside from Saeko, whom he thought was the most beautiful woman in all of the Elemental Nations.

"What is the name of the warrior who has ventured into my forest?" She asked. Though she asked a question, the stern tone that accompanied it showed that she demanded an answer. Naruto shook off his trance and addressed her, deciding it would be wise to bow first before doing so.

"My name is Naruto. I am sorry for trespassing on your domain, fair goddess. I mean no disrespect. I was generally curious of the power that was coming from your forest." Naruto explained in a respectful tone while holding his bow.

The woman rose from her sitting position and in an instant she was in front of him. He kept his eyes on her feet and restrained his feeling of surprise and the movement that would come with it. However, he had yet to feel any sort of killing intent nor was Saeko telling him she was hostile, so he just let her presence remain where it was. The mysterious woman placed her hand on the left side of his head and Naruto felt like something was in his mind, but the feeling quickly vanish when he heard a small gasp.

"Please raise your head, young Naruto." She said in a gentle tone. Naruto did so and returned to his full height to face her. He was quick to bite the inside of his cheek to restrain the gasp of amazement.

'By Kami-sama, she looks as beautiful as Saeko up-close.' He thought.

"Naruto I have viewed your life. I am surprised that someone was able to go through what you went through and still remain sane." She said. "Your fortitude in terms of your character is admirable and I am greatly impressed by that." A frown then marred her beautiful features. "I am also very disappointed with your villagers, but more with your parents for ignoring you just because your twin sisters hold the Kyuubi and they believe them to be the children of prophecy. Those reasons do not justify their actions, nor was it acceptable for them to be ignoring and neglecting you." She said this time her voice was with rage and she spat the parents part as if it were acid on her tongue.

"It's fine...I have already given up on them along with this village. If they don't recognize me as a person or as their son they why should I also care about them? I mean, not to sound bitter, but it is the truth miss...?" Naruto gave her questioning glance, hinting for her to tell him her name.

She was mildly surprised, and then gained a thoughtful look before answering. "Before I tell you my name I wish to test your battle capabilities, Naruto." She requested. Naruto thought on it for a moment before shrugging nonchalantly. What was the harm?

"Very well, but is this going to be with weapons or are we going to do this hand-to-hand?" Naruto asked but then blushed at the last part as some...improper thoughts came to the forefront of his imagination.

The pink haired woman giggled and then waved her hand. Suddenly cherry blossoms from the sakura tree danced around into a circle before they joined together to produce a katana. The weapon was made up of a simple cross guard with an open frame, much like a four-pane window. From that simple gesture alone his mind told him to not underestimate her. Naruto unsheathed Overture and then prepared his stance and activated his True Eye dojutsu.

"Scatter." He heard her say. Naruto's eyes widened as the blade from her katana started to separate into thousands of tiny sakura petals, though from the uncharacteristic shine on their forms, he could tell they were most likely as sharp as the katana blade they once formed. The petals swirled around for a moment and then instantly launched themselves at him.

"Shit!" He cursed as the tiny blades rushed at him he knew he couldn't dodge them, so deflection was his best bet. He held out his hands in front of him and his eyes pulsed with power.

"Shinra Tensei!" Naruto sent forth a burst of gravitational energy against the dangerous petals. His instincts then kicked in as he dodged an attack from the blade petals from behind. Naruto then shifted his hands to form the Tiger seal and inhaled deeply, calling upon his fire natured chakra.

"Katon: Goukakyu no Jutsu/Fire Release: Grand Fireball Technique!" Naruto exhaled a large ball of fire towards his opponent, but what he didn't expect was for the sakura petals to encircle her, defending her from the jutsu. The fire spread across the flammable sakura petals, but they didn't seem to be turn to ashes for some odd reason. This made Naruto narrow his eyes in annoyance.

"Don't seem so surprised. We have yet to show our true ability." The woman directed the sakura blades at him, the worst part was they were laced with fire making them more dangerous. Naruto changed Overture to its gun mode. He cocked the projectile firing weapon and squeezed the trigger while channeling his water natured chakra.

"Ruinga-Aqua!" The bullets of pressurized water crashed against the flaming petals effectively blocking the technique and generated a small cloud of steam. Naruto then fired off three shoots of water, hoping to use the steam as a way to form a surprise attack, but failed when the steam parted and showed that his attack was blocked by her blade petals once more.

'Hmm so her technique acts as both an offense and defense. Let's see if this could work.' Naruto thought as he made a quick string of handseals. "Shakuton: Dairyuukokyuu/Scorch Release: Great Dragon Breath!" Naruto's technique appeared in form of a burst of crimson fire that immediately took the form of a dragon's head, glowing red eyes and all. The head of the fiery reptile unleashed a roar as it rushed towards his pink haired opponent.

The technique was once again blocked. This made Naruto think for a second. 'She's good. Her technique was able to defend against my shakuton jutsu, but it seems she may have a defensive zone. I'll test that.' He thought as he channeled his chakra to his feet to increase his speed. He then appeared behind the beautiful woman and twirled Overture above his head, spinning it to change it into its blade form.

"Spark-Strike!" Naruto coated his blade with his lightning element and then slashed down. However, the woman didn't even glance back at him as her sakura petal defense immediately reverted into the katana blade she once had. A burst of lightning formed from the impact, but it did neither combatant any harm. She quickly spun around then gave him a sharp kick, and with her high heels...well, it hurt like hell.

"That was a great effort, but it won't be that easy Naruto. But can you tell me, what was that move?" She asked, curious and amazed at how fast he got behind her.

Naruto was on his knees panting, slightly winded by her kick. "That move..." He rose to his feet as he regained his breath. "...is what I called Shunpo/Flash Step which allows me to move faster than the eye can follow. The best way to characterize this is how I can get from point A to point B by the number of steps, but that's all I can say since I don't want to fully reveal this technique to someone who I have just meant." Naruto said pride evident in his voice for his technique that he developed.

A small smirk graced the woman's face. "No, I understand. That technique of yours, it is very impressive. It has somehow outmatched the speed of my blades, but it won't be enough." She said. Pointing her blade downward she released the hilt and Naruto stared in awe as the blade just hovered in the air.

"Senbonzakura Kageyoshi/Vibrant Display of a Thousand Cherry Blossoms." The sword then fell straight down. The sword phased into the ground, as though it was a pool of water. Suddenly, an energy ripple expanded its radius throughout the area, turning it dark. Within a second, two rows of one thousand giant blades rose up from the ground. All of the blades turned into sharp sakura blossom petals, swirling menacingly around their user.

Naruto saw this as both beautiful and scary at the same time. He had only one thing to say to that. "Shit just got real." The boy's blue eyes widened as he saw the blades surround him and were about to pierce him. "Shinra-Ten'in!" Naruto raised both his hands on his left and right side to push back the blade 'I need to my speed in this I got to risk it' Naruto thought.

Naruto drop his restriction seals increasing his power level. Suddenly he was swallowed up by a wave of cherry petals. The woman though it was ove,r but then she felt a presence behind her. She quickly spun around, using her hand to guide the blade. She struck him only to see him puff out of existence. She then felt a strong arm wrap around her and a sharp metal object press against her neck.

"I win." Naruto stated. The woman's blue eyes widened, blinking to personify her confusion as realization followed soon after. She chuckled lightly.

"Yes you have, but tell me how you figured out my 'Hurtless Area'." She said.

Naruto smirked. "It was earlier when my fire jutsu clashed with your technique. I theorized that you may have a defensive zone so I confirmed it with my Shunpo earlier. Your defensive zone was around eighty-five centimeters maximum, but I figured you could still move those petals so I used Kage Shunpo, a combination of the Kage Bunshin and Shunpo. Now...did I pass? May I know the name of the goddess I'm holding" He asked. For a second, he could a sworn he saw a shade of pink before it vanished and was replaced with a small, but beautiful smile.

"It's Senbonzakura. I am sentient blade spirit and you pass as my first wielder, Naruto." The woman now identified as Senbonzakura, made Naruto's eyes widen. A sentient sword spirit?! He had read about those in books about such swords, but never in his wildest dream would he have thought he would get to meet one, let alone be the wielder of such a blade.

"But why did you choose me? Not that I'm not happy, but I'm just some guy you just met." Naruto said releasing her from his grasp, with a bit of reluctance. Senbonzakura turned around, pale blue eyes meeting oceanic blue.

"It's because of your will, Naruto. While others would have taken the easy way out and would have taken their own lives, you pushed on. You stayed strong to become strong. You were able to hold off against me, even though both of us were holding back, but still you won. That shows how you didn't let what happened to you affect you and persevered. That's why I chose you. If anything this small spar just proves just how worthy of a wielder you are." She explained.

Naruto paled slightly on the last part. If it was a small spar for her, what would a full on battle be like? Naruto shuddered at the thought. "Alright, I accept you as my partner, Sen-chan, but is there any other name aside from Senbonzakura I could call you. I figure you would want to stay in your human form if we are not in battle."

"Hmm...how about I'll let you decide." She said.

Naruto thought of it for a moment and then answered. "Claire. Your name is Claire. I'll call you that if we're in crowd and I'll call you by your true name when we're alone." Naruto said with a smile. She smiled at the name he gave her and nodded in approval.

"Very well. Claire shall be my name." She said. Naruto did so and suddenly the entirety of the petals from the sakura tree surrounded them, dancing around them.

Naruto then gained an idea. "Will the fair maiden allow this commoner to grace him with a small dance?" He asked with an overly polite tone. Claire laughed lightly at the way he presented his request, but also blushed a bit as she was also a bit flustered by said request.

"Very well," She replied with a curtsy to respond to his gentlemanly bow. Naruto held Claire's left hand with his left hand in front of her left shoulder. Naruto then placed his right hand against her slim waist while Claire placed her hand on his corresponding shoulder. The basic stance for the waltz.

It felt nice in her opinion since this was the first time being this close to someone. She was never one to venture into human territory, seeing as how they lusted for power, either with money or gaining status, not caring who they harmed. But something about Naruto told her he was different. He had power, but wasn't arrogant about it nor does he abuse it. He strove to leave his past behind and worked hard to gain his power and she found him attractive. She pushed that thought into the corners of her mind, but she would be lying to herself if she didn't find her current situation with him appealing.

Petals appeared beneath her going upward leaving him with the sword she used earlier. 'Claire-chan I hope you like your accommodation. I'll change it if you wish.' Naruto thought to the sentient sword.

"No need. It's perfectly fine, Naruto." She replied from Naruto's mindscape.

Claire then turn her attention to her roommate. The silver haired beauty that was the Juubi no Bakemono stood before Senbonzakura with a welcoming smile on her face.

"Hello Claire. I am the Juubi, but you can call me Saeko. It is a pleasure to meet you."

"Likewise, Saeko. Saeko, if it isn't too much trouble, I would like to know a bit more about my wielder." She requested. Saeko raised an eyebrow at that and decided to tease the poor sword spirit.

"Oh, you want to know about Naruto-kun? Hmm are you trying to steal my man, Claire?" She asked with a toothy smirk.

"N-N-No! I'm just want to know more about him!" Claire exclaimed with a little blush and stutter.

Saeko giggled a bit. "Oh don't worry, I'm just teasing. Though I find the idea of sharing appealing. One-on-one sex does tend to lose its appeal at times and I do feel rather adventurous at times." She said making Claire go red with embarrassment. "Well, anyways I'll tell you all about him...including his sweet spots." She said making Claire regret asking her.

It was a good thing they cut off the mental link or this would be extremely embarrassing and awkward for her wielder.

Naruto smiled to himself as he gained a new partner. He wondered if there would be anything else interesting would come to him today. Naruto then blinked in surprise when he just received the memory from his clones showing him that their task was finished. Naruto used Shunpo and appeared before his tree house. He entered his temporary home and gave it a once over as he would be leaving it.

It had only a small bed to sleep on, a small chest of drawers for his clothes and small desk where he made his seals or for just simple reading. Naruto reminisced a bit as this would be the only place that he might miss. This place, this small house he made for himself felt more like home than his former home.

"Well, I'll be leaving. I may miss having a good bed to sleep on since I'll be sleeping on the ground." Naruto said to himself.

"Ummm Naru-kun..." Saeko's voice appeared in his mind. "...you do know that you could just store this place in a storage scroll, right?"

Naruto sheepishly rubbed the back of his head. "Hehe...ummm...I may have forgotten that. Whoops."

Both female tenants sweatdropped at that, but then again he was still a kid and this could be the only time he could get to act like one.

After manipulating the tree with his mokuton techniques, which was awesome in his opinion, he brought down his small house and then stored it in a large storage scroll. He then stored that in a much more compact storage scroll. Since it would be a pain in the ass to carry a big ass scroll, this just made it more convenient.

After cleaning up, he just remembered to take another bath after becoming a bit sweaty from his battle with Claire. He changed his clothes and he was now wearing a short sleeved red shirt, with the sleeves being black, a black hooded jacket that had temperature seals so that he wouldn't feel hot wearing them, black, skin tight pants similar to those worn by the ANBU, and combat boots. He placed Senbonzakura on his left side while he placed Overture on his back. Naruto exhaled as he was finally going to be free from this place and the feeling coming from it was exhilarating.

As soon as stepped out the Forest of Death, Naruto transformed himself as to blend with the crowd. That and he didn' want anyone to recognize him. Especially now since today was the anniversary of the Kyuubi's defeat and his former twin sisters' birthday. He had often wondered if he was adopted by them since they never paid any attention, hell he always thought how he made it out of infancy, but he banished those thoughts in favour of heading for the walls of Konoha.

Naruto was walking around the village, running a hand through his now midnight black hair. He then scratched his cheeks which were without his whisker marks. While most ignored his presence since he looked rather ordinary, to the few that found him attractive, the females followed after his chosen path, blushes adorning their faces. Some of the boys his age, especially those who were with the girls that were watching him, gritted their teeth and narrowed their eyes in envy and restrained jealousy.

He didn't care about their opinion or what they were thinking about him. The only thing that mattered was getting the hell out of this place. He wished none of the women or men would make a scene or do something like approach him, but unfortunately Murphy's Law decided to introduce itself to him by meddling in his affairs.

"Hey there handsome, haven't seen you around this village before." The person in front of him had short purple hair that was tied into a spiky ponytail, giving the style an appearance resembling a pineapple. She wore a brown trench coat that barely hid her body that was only covered by a fishnet top, an orange miniskirt and blue sandals. Naruto knew who this was from the memory from his clone.

Anko Mitarashi, Snake Mistress of Konoha and second in-command of Konoha's Torture and Interrogation department. He didn't want to get into any sort of attention or draw more towards himself so he decided to answer quickly and leave. "Well, I'm not from here you see. I'm a traveler. Now if you'll excuse me I'll take my leave."

Naruto was about to walk past her till she grabbed him by the arm. "Why the rush handsome? Got somewhere to go?" Anko asked as she press her bust against his arm. Inside Saeko was fuming. How dare this slut try to seduce her man! Claire was also glaring daggers at the purple haired woman.

"No actually, but I need to take my leave if I want to make it to the next town." Naruto said, trying, and failing, to get the woman to leave him. However, it was to no avail as she was stubborn. He knew someone or something was fucking with him and he made a mental note to kill whatever it was trying to fuck with him.

"Oh? So you're just heading to the next town? Well why not enjoy yourself first? It's not like the next town you're going to will vanish, unless someone would cause that, but I highly doubt something like that would happen. Why not enjoy yourself and take this sexy woman with you on a date? If not I'll shout your sexually harassing me." She said making Naruto's eye twitch at the last part.

Naruto sighed. "Fine, but I won't stay long."

"Great, now come along. I want you to meet a couple of my friends at this dango shop." She said while dragging him.

'Saeko-chan I need you control my emotions and chakra flux so any lie I say appears truthful.' Naruto spoke. Living in a shinobi village, trying to lie was like trying to teach a goldfish to fly at times.

Saeko nodded. "Don't worry Naru-kun. I'll handle it, just make sure anything you say isn't too over the top and be careful. If they figure us out then we have no other choice, but to fight our way out." She said. Naruto inwardly nodded and prayed to Kami that whoever was trying to fuck with him would go away and die.

Naruto saw the people at the dango shop where Anko was dragging him. Three women and three men sat at the table, some of them waving over to her. Naruto scanned the table and identified each person there. The red eyed woman wearing a red dress over what looked like bandages was Kurenai Yuhi Genjutsu mistress. A feral woman wearing what looked like a medic-nin uniform, with fang-like tattoos on her cheeks sat with her three dog companions. This was Hana Inuzuka, taijutsu mistress and daughter of the Inuzuka clan head, Tsume Inuzuka. The third and final woman had long, purple hair and was wearing a simple black t-shirt and long pants. This was Yugao Uzuki, kenjutsu mistress, member of the ANBU and student to his former mother.

Now moving on to the men, the first had silver, gravity defying hair, one of the trademarks of the jounin known as Kakashi Hatake the Copy-Cat and student to his former father. The second man wore a horrific green spandex and thus identified to be the youthful Maito Gai, Konoha's taijutsu master. The third man was a young man currently taking a drag from a cigarette in his mouth, a sight that made one Kurenai Yuhi frown. Asuma Sarutobi, son of the deceased Sandaime Hokage, ignored the glare and frown and released a small streak of smoke into the air.

'Whoever you are trying to fuck with me...one day I will find you, then I will kill you...painfully.' Naruto thought as his current situation just went from a simple meeting to an 'oh shit' moment.

"Hey Anko, who's your friend?" Asuma asked.

Before she could answer, Naruto cut her off hoping that her friends would scold her and he could get away. "Oh, just someone who she happened to just drag from a random crowd." He inwardly smirked as he saw them gasp and he saw Kurenai stood up. He thought she was going to scold her for her action, but to his surprise, she just look at him.

"Well if she did, then she found you interesting and besides, it's a day of celebration. What's one more person?" She said, shocking Naruto and causing him to curse at the entity that was doing this to him.

Naruto sat calmly, but inside he was sweating. He was seated between Anko and Hana, the latter was still pushing her breasts up against his arm. "So tell us where you from and what you going here?" Hana decided to ask. "

"Ah well I am originally from the Iron Country and decided to leave to see the world. You know; travel, see the sites...that kind of stuff." Naruto said making them nod.

Naruto was eyeing each of them. He need to make a sort of situation that would give him an excuse to leave. He saw that Asuma was sitting beside Kurenai. He could see he was interested in her. A plan made its way to his mind. "So tell me Asuma-san, Kurenai-san...are the two of you together? You seem awfully close." Naruto asked. The two jounin shook their heads.

"Well, I've often asked her, but she would always turn me down." Asuma said making Kurenai nod, confirming his words.

Naruto inwardly grinned, he could use this to his advantage. He could get a rise out of Asuma, make him mad, getting his excuse or he could get Kurenai mad if not Asuma. Either way, he'll get a reason to leave. "Well there are reasons why a women would turn you down. One would be that she's playing for the other team or possibly both which would go for the other reason. Two, she's already with someone or she already found someone who she's interested in. Three, she simply does not find you appealing, she has no sort of interest or she has certain tastes. Either that or she's just leading you on." Naruto said making the others look at him. Naruto chuckled inwardly as he knew his plan work since Asuma was looking down and Kurenai's eye where overshadowe by her bangs.

But to his shock, which Saeko kept in check, they were chuckling. The chuckling grew louder and more forceful until it turned into full blown laughter. "Haha yeah! You may be right about that, maybe she is playing for the other team or both. I guess she has a certain taste in men or women. Thanks for setting me straight!" Asuma exclaimed with a cheery expression.

"Well you are correct. I do have certain tastes in men, I'm not a lesbian though I did have that one time thing...right Anko-chan." She said making everyone, minus Naruto, gawk at her as she freely admitted that she and Anko had sex with each other. The latter couldn't believe she would admit it.

Naruto cursed yet again at whoever was fucking with him along with Kami. Why this was happening to him he didn't know. He looked at Gai. Maybe if he insulted his clothing, his friends may take it as an offense and tell him to leave.

"Gai-san why do you where such a horrendous looking, bright green spandex? I understand that it makes for good exercise, but in the battlefield it makes you into a moving target. It also would give your position away along with your teammates if you were on a stealth mission and it is simply an eye sore. It sucks!" Naruto said bluntly saying the last part with a lot more conviction. Now he knew they were going to ask him to leave since they stopped laughing and he saw a lone tear on Gai. He must have really loved the clothing he was wearing.

"You are correct! I should not wear this often on mission...maybe on training, but not on missions as it could my fellow youthful teammates in danger along with my youthful students! Thank you for setting me straight my youthful friend I'll change clothes after today and if I fail to remember I will do one thousand push-ups on my thumbs! YOSH!" He said as anime tears streaked down his face.

The others looking at him like he was a god-king.

"Damn, you've done something that no one else had ever done." Hana said in disbelief. "You convinced him to get rid of those hideous spandex."

Anko where the hell did you find him?!" Yugao asked.

"I just saw him walking around and decided to drag him with me. You know; get drunk, then drunken one-night sex...that kind of thing. But now I think I'll keep you with me." Anko said much to his ire.

"Now now Anko you need to learn how to share such a man with great wisdom such as him." Kurenai said making Naruto inwardly groan even more as he knew he might have just dug his grave.

Naruto curse whatever entity that was fucking with him...for the ninth time. He could only hope that it wouldn't get worse. Unfortunately Murphy had one last card to play, solidifying the intro as his bane of existence next to the sun.

"Hey everyone! Looks like all of you are having fun and who's this? A new friend of yours, 'ttebane?" Kushina walked towards them with a toothy grin on her face.

"I've never seen him before, but looks like you know him."

"Mind explaining?"

He knew who those two voices belonged to and he refused to look back.

"Hi sensei, Kushina-sama. What are you and the twins doing here?" Kakashi asked while Naruto was having a hard time trying to calm himself, even with Saeko's help.

"Well we are actually looking for Naruto since I need to talk to him about a marriage alliance contract I receive earlier from Iwa, Kumo and Nadeshiko." Minato said.

Kushina shook her head a bit "honestly we have spoiled him too much since we haven't seen him at home so we figure that he might be around the village since today is the celebration honestly where did we go wrong with him" she said making Naruto near boiling point.

"Yeah Onii-chan is always not around or when he was, he was too busy." Narumi said. Naruto could tell just from the sound of her voice she was embarrassed of him. How dare that slut?! She doesn't know anything!

"It was like he was pushing us away. What's wrong with him?" Naruko said a little mad with her brother, who was fuming at that.

"Yes it seems that we may have turned him into a spoiled brat, but anyways we have to find him and tell him about the marriage alliance. Since this would benefit both the village and him of becoming humble and learn responsibility and stop think only about him..." Minato couldn't finish that last part as he was sucker punched by Naruto making all around him eyes widen.

"How fucking dare you presume that I am selfish! How dare you presume that I am spoiled! Not once have I ever felt your parental love!" Naruto roared. His rage consuming him, the henge on his body began to drop. Midnight black hair returned to its original sunkissed appearance and the whisker marks on his cheeks due to the Juubi's presence reappeared on his face.

"Naruto apologize to your father this instant and I don't know what you're talking about! I've shown each of my children equal love! That goes for Minato-kun as..." Everyone's eyes widened even further as Kushina was denied the ability to finish her sentence. The resounding slap from the younger blonde echoed through the small dango shop.

"SHUT UP YOU SLUT! NOT ONCE DID EITHER OF YOU SHOW ME LOVE! ONLY THE TWINS! TELL ME YOU FUCKING FAN-GIRL SLUT, CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT ME?!" Naruto shouted his dojutsu coming to life. The air was now thick with his killing intent.

Kushina along with Minato thought for a few moments, and to their shock they couldn't find anything. They looked harder through their minds, searching for something, anything that would defend them, Kushina doing more than Minato as she kept denying that she didn't shown love to all three of her children. However, to their despair, they couldn't find a single memory. They don't know what were his likes or his dislikes, or any event where they were together as a whole.

Naruto saw this and scowled. "See! Both of you know nothing about me! Hell, you didn't even know that I stop staying at the compound for SIX YEARS and that I was only sending Kage Bunshins to get what I need." Naruto said making their eyes widen, tears forming from their eyes.

Naruto started to laugh darkly. "And did you know that I was beaten up by your villagers Tou-san?"

"Wh-What?!"

"Yeah, apparently they thought I was the Kyuubi incarnate whose power was trapped with my two sisters. But here let me show you." He pressed his fingers harshly against his parents' temples and suddenly a flood of images entered their minds. Naruto showed the two all the times he was abused; all the cuts, stabs, burns, all the times he observed them being the happy family while he suffered, all the times he cried himself to sleep wondering why they didn't love him.

Kushina felt despair and anguish at what she saw her son had suffered multiple times and it was because of her and her husband. She could feel her heart shatter and her mind almost broke.

She was an Uzumaki and they were know to love their family above all else, but after what she saw, she felt ashamed and disgusted with herself. She recalled what she said earlier and it just made her feel very much not like a mother.

Minato felt the same. He couldn't believe at what his own village did to his son and he was also pissed with himself for ignoring his son like that. "Please, Naruto, we're sorry for ignoring you, but we had to train the twins. It was for the good of the village and for their safety!" Minato tried to reason but to no avail as he just saw ungodly rage in his son's eyes.

"Please, sochi-kun please give me...us...another chance!" Kushina pleaded.

"I already gave up on both of you along with your family here. Let me show you something" Naruto toss both of them a scroll. After reading it, Kushina started to sob uncontrollably and Minato's hands shook. "I'm not a part of the Uzumaki and Namikaze. I am just Naruto. Now if you will excuse me, I'll take my leave." Naruto said.

However, he was stopped when golden chains wrapped themselves around him. "NO! I WILL NOT LET YOU! I REFUSE TO LET YOU GO!" Kushina cried hysterically. Another set of chains wrapped around him courtesy of his twin sisters.

"WE WON'T ALLOW YOU TO GO ONII-CHAN! WE ARE NOT GOING TO LOSE OUR BROTHER!" They said in unison.

Naruto struggled to get free and he saw the people who he was forcefully seated with, stand up to restrain him, his father reaching into his weapons pouch and retrieved a pair of seal tags. One being a restraining one and the other, Naruto could only assume what the second did as the kanji for 'Memory' was drawn on its surface.

'No! I won't let them! I will be free!' He thought as he started to flare his chakra in an effort to break the chains around him, but failed to do so. He continued to flare more of his chakra, determined to not to be bound by them, determine to not let his one chance at freedom flee from his grasp. He saw them get closer to him; he could feel fear, fear that his one chance of happiness away from this hell would slip from his grasp.

"Do want the power to leave this place?" An unknown feminine voice made itself known.

Time appeared to have stopped as a shadowy figure revealed itself to Naruto which was shown to be a woman with long, raven black hair with brown streaks, a perfect hour-glass figure, slightly pale skin and DD size bust. She wore a tattered looking, black cloak that fluttered in the non-existent wind and a pair of black shoes. She adjusted the glasses on her face, the light of the surrounding area reflecting off of the orange tinted lenses for a moment.

"Tell me...do you want power to be free from your binds and to get away from this place? And if so, what will you do if I do give you such power after escaping?" She asked.

Naruto thought of it for a moment. What would he do if he did gain power? What would he do with it? Why did he want to have power in the first place?

"Yes, I want power to be free of this place. I want power, not to show them that I did not need them, I wanted power to protect Saeko-chan and anyone who I might find precious to me so please lend me strength whoever you are." Naruto begged. The dual hair coloured beauty glanced at him before nodding.

"Very well. I will lend you my strength, but remember this...abandon your fears and look forward. Look forward and never stop. If you pull back, if you hesitate...you die."

Time began to flow once more. Naruto blinked in surprise as he felt a sudden surge of power coursing through his veins. Then the voice of the unknown woman came to the forefront of his mind.

"Invoke my name and the power shall be yours. My name is..."

"Tensa Zangetsu!" Naruto shouted and instantly reddish black energy exploded upward destroying the chains that bound him. Everyone was thrown backwards by the power Naruto unleashed. They saw him holding a long black blade that held a smooth curve along its length with three protrusions along the blunt side. The weapon had a manji-like guard and a long chain that grasped his right arm.

"You dare try to restraint me?! You dare try to rewrite by memory and act like this never happen?! I'll show you...I'll show ALL OF YOU MY PAIN!" Naruto then shot into the skies above Konoha with his back facing the full moon. Naruto drop all his restrictions and everyone felt his power, which surpassed anything they felt. It was like the Kyuubi made its second appearance.

"SHINRA TENSEI!" Naruto shouted. In an instant everything around Konoha was blown away by an invisible force. But Naruto wasn't done Naruto held his new sword with both hands concentrated on using its power. Reddish black energy bled forth from the blade and Narut raised it high above his head.

"GETSUGA TENSHO!" The reddish-black wave of energy clashed against the Hokage monument where his former father's face was, completely destroying it. Satisfied he left via Shunpo leaving Konoha in ruins. Though some survived, they were shell shocked at the sheer of power the jutsu that Naruto used.

They knew, since everyone in Konoha, even those who were not part of Konoha, saw his memory and knew why he did it. But what they didn't see was a black and white plant-like person was watching everything. It then vanished beneath the earth as if it were never there.
