Konoha
Council meeting
"Lady Tsunade, Naruto has been missing for a month and a half, I believe it's time we brand him as a missing-nin." Elder Koharu said.
"Very well, desertion of the village is unacceptable. Give Naruto a 10 million Ryo bounty and the rank of A rank missing-nin." Tsunade said, unwavering determination flowing through her words.
"While these precautions are necessary, this village needs it's weapon back. I will make sure he is captured and rehabilitated." Thought Danzo.
Meanwhile with Naruto
"Alright, finally got this lightning exercise done, now to find out where to stay for the night." Naruto exclaimed, after a long day of nonstop elemental manipulation training.
Naruto decides to stay in the land of bears for one more day before continuing his travels.
The next day
Naruto wakes up early in the morning to grab all his things and leave the land of bears. Before he leaves, he goes to a store to grab some supplies.
"A map, 20 shuriken, 20 kunai, 20 feet of rope,and a standard katana. That'll be 3560 Ryo" The shop clerk told Naruto.
This was simple pocket change for Naruto since he had accrued over half a million.
Naruto leaves the land of bears ready for his next adventure. Naruto takes his time walking through dense forests, just enjoying the scenery. After a long day of walking, he decides to set up camp in a small clearing near a river.
"Hmmmm, according to this map I'm just outside the hidden hot water village. Maybe they'll have good hot springs. Man, a bath sounds great right now." Naruto thought to himself before sending a few clones to gather fish to eat.
After eating up his food Naruto hit the hay and was dead to the world.
Four hours later
"Boar, target in sight, appears to be sleeping. Seems to have a few traps set."
"Copy that Rat, move in and immobilize the target." Boar whispered.
As Boar and his Anbu squad closed in on Naruto, Naruto woke up. Thanks to all the hunting Naruto has done, his five senses sharpened intensely, and he also developed an innate chakra sensing ability.
"There're people outside, I don't have a good feeling about this. No way am I letting these guys take me down." Naruto thought to himself, his brain thinking in overdrive mode.
After finally coming to a decision, Naruto gets up and looks around for his intruders.
"He noticed us" Boar thought to himself, now concerned about the mission ahead.
"Rat, use senbon immobilize the target before he fully comes to his senses" Boar commanded quickly, hoping to avoid any major conflict.
Unfortunately for Boar, the moment the senbon was thrown, Naruto side stepped out of the way, pure adrenaline kicking in.
"Found ya." Naruto exclaimed, forming the hand sign for the multi shadow clone jutsu. Dozens of Naruto's appeared in the clearing. Naruto then had his clones throw each other into the trees, to take out the Anbu ninja.
"Those masks, they're Anbu. Ah crap the village is after my ass already!" Naruto thought with a slight panic slowly consuming his thoughts.
Naruto then whipped his head to the left to see an Anbu dashing towards him.
"Time to do a field test." Naruto thought to himself, as he and his clones started weaving through hand signs.
"Wind release: Great Breakthrough"
The result was nothing short of catastrophic as dozens of Naruto clones created a huge burst of wind that uprooted all the trees in front of them. This also sent all but 1 of the Anbu flying off the trees as one of the Anbu was on the ground to provide support.
"Damn the report was right, this kid is unpredictable and not to be taken lightly." Boar thought to himself as he regained his posture, a small sweat trickling down his forehead.
"GRAAAAAH I'M NOT DONE YET." Naruto shouted as he and his clones started jumping the Anbu in an almost brawl type of fighting to overwhelm the opponent. To Naruto's surprise, he won.
"If these guys are supposed to be the hokage's elite force then I should've been promoted to Jonin." Naruto said out loud.
"Now what to do with these guys?" Naruto thought to himself, knowing if he left them free, he would just warrant another attack.
Naruto came up with the conclusion to tie them up in a tree hanging from a branch. "That'll teach em!" Naruto said out loud, laughing as he drew graffiti on all their faces.
After the attack, Naruto couldn't sleep so he decided to walk to the hidden hot water village. Upon entering Naruto found the nearest hotel, and passed out peacefully, because who likes to be woken up in the middle of the night.
After half a good night's rest, Naruto woke up with a huge yawn and went out to eat breakfast. Upon entering the restaurant Naruto has a fateful encounter that will change his life completely.
"I'm just getting started, keep the fish coming, I'm gonna eat my fill today!" A moppy red-haired figure with dark green eyes exclaimed as he kept devouring his food.
"Oi oi, do you even have any money to pay for all this food?" The Chef asked, clearly concerned about the young man's finances, seeing that he's only a kid, looking to be around his teenage years.
"Of course I do, my wallets right he-, aw crap I must have left it at home." The red head said, with clear worry in his voice.
"Well, if you can't pay then you're gonna be scrubbing dishes in the back to pay your debt!" The chef stated with anger oozing out of his voice.
"No need gramps I'll cover him!" Naruto stated, coming to the red head's rescue. "How much is the bill?" Naruto asked.
"179,364 Ryo." The chef stated, while Naruto's face turned into a look that screamed flabbergasted.
Naruto reluctantly paid for the food and sat down to eat his own food.
"Hey, thanks for helping me out back there. What's your name if you don't mind me asking?" the red-haired boy said.
"I'm Uzumaki Naruto, what about you?"
"WAIT UZUMAKI?! There's no way you're an Uzumaki you have yellow hair.
