Title:The Orange Flash and The White Dog
Word count:2611 words! Go Me!
Summary:Naruto is banished by the council after his failing to retreive Sasuke and return him to the village. On leaving, things happen between him and the Kyuubi and he ends up meeting Taishio Yaone. A powerful Inuyoukai who is the daughter of Taishio Sesshoumaru, the ruler of the Western Lands of the Makai and the Shikon Miko, Kagome.
Chapter I
Naruto looked at the council of elders in shock. “Why?”
“You failed in your mission to retrieve Uchiha Sasuke which is unacceptable,” one of the members replied viciously. “We have no need for a shinobi such as you.”
“You should never have been made a genin in the first place,” interjected another council member.
“Enough, as we have stated before, Uzumaki Naruto, you have been removed from the Konoha Shinobi register and hereby banished from the village. You have twenty-four hours to pack your possessions and leave,” sneered another member.
Naruto's fists clenched, he knew this was complete bullshit. The other members of the Sasuke retrieval squad were not being banished, only he was, It was because he was the Kyuubi Jinchuriki and they had been trying to get rid of him for years. He dimly heard Tsunade protesting but what she was saying did not register. The only thing he could think of was that he would not be able to fulfill his promise to Sakura-chan or become the Hokage. His dreams had died. He felt Jiraiya and Tsunade move up beside him and gently guide him out of the council chambers. He let them as thoughts and feelings of failure and anger and grief rushed through his mind, unable to focus on anything of any substance.
He eventually felt himself being eased down onto a chair and a cup of something warm placed into his hands. He distantly heard Iruka and Shizune demanding to know what was wrong with him as he sipped the cup of tea he had been given. He heard Tsunade mumbling something and subsequent shrieks of outrage. He breathed in shakily, tears coming to his eyes. “Why? Why do they hate me so much? I am not the Kyuubi,” he whispered.
“I know, brat, I know,” Tsunade whispered sadly.
“Is there anything you can do, Tsunade-sama?” Iruka questioned.
“No, this is final. The only way Naruto can be a Konoha ninja is if they bring him back into the fold. As of now, that will be impossible.” Tsunade muttered angrily.
Jiraiya sighed loudly and said, “Not only that they informed me that I would not be allowed to take him on as an apprentice because he is not a Konoha ninja. So I can not even train him to the point that the council would accept him back.”
“So, the only thing I can do is train myself or find someone who can train me to be strong and skilled enough for the council to accept me back,” Naruto whispered.
“Yes.”
“Ok, than, I guess that’s what I’ll do!”
Naruto stood up, determination burning in his eyes and looked at the Road Sannin, “Ero-sennin is there any way you can help me?”
Jirayi thought for a minute and then nodded slowly. “There is something I could do, it is not much but it will help you.”
Naruto jumped up and hugged Jirayi, “Thanks, Ero-sennin,” he choked out.
He stepped back and looked at everyone in the hokage’s office, memorizing their faces. He did not know when he would see them again. He walked toward Iruka, pulling off his hitai-ate, he looked down at it and clenched it tightly.
This was the hitai-ate that Iruka-sensei gave him, the one that once belonged to his Academy teacher. It meant the world to him but he knew he would not be allowed to take it with him when he left. He looked up at his former teacher and handed it to him. “Iruka-sensei, keep this safe until I come back for it, ok.”
Iruka nodded stiffly and carefully took the hitai-ate from Naurto's hands. “I will take good care of it while you are gone, I promise!”
Naruto grinned his happiest grin and proclaimed, “I will be back and that is a promise!” His smile dimmed and he declared, “After all I have to bring Sasuke back and become hokage!” He voice trailed off for a moment and hen he continued, “I guess, I guess I should go pack my things. I only have twenty-four hours to vacate the premises after all.”
Iruka grabbed Naruto desperately hugging his little brother. “Don’t get yourself killed, Naruto.”
“I won’t Iruka-sensei. Do not let your kids drive you nuts sensei.” Naruto said quietly and pulled himself out of his teachers embrace.
He turned and hugged Shizune, “Take care of baa-chan, Shizune. Do not let her drink and gamble too much.”
“Of course, Naruto, that is my duty as her apprentice. My job as her assistant means I have to keep her from trying to get away from the paperwork.”
Naruto went and hugged Jiraiya next. “Ero-sennin, I guess you will not stop spying on the women’s bathhouses. But do try to curb your perverted tendencies while in Konoha. I am sure baa-chan would appreciate it.” Naruto chuckled watery and continued, “Or baa-chan’s fists will appreciate it.”
Everyone chuckled quietly at that and Naruto turned to Tsunade. “Baa-chan, I am counting on you to keep that hat warm for me for when I return.”
“Of course, brat. It will be warm and toasty for you when you return.”
She hugged him desperately and Naruto whimpered as his ribs creaked. “Baa-chan my ribs!”
“Sorry,” Tsunade muttered sheepishly. “Try to stay out of trouble brat and do not worry. I will keep your precious people safe.”
“Thanks, baa-chan!”
Naruto turned to the door and walked out, closing the door quietly behind him before running to his apartment to pack his belongings.
The people he left behind stared at the door quietly until Tsunade screamed angrily and slammed her fist onto her desk, breaking it in half. “Damn them! Damn them to the nine hells!”
Jiraiya shook his head and jumped onto the window ledge. He looked back and said, “Tsunade, there is a safe behind the Yondaime’s portrait. Pull out the scroll contained in it. I’ll pick it up later. I need to find Kakashi and tell him what has happened. He will help me get what I need for Naruto.”
Jiraiya then leapt out the window, leaving the three of them alone. They looked at each other and then nodded. They went there separate ways they had stuff they had to collect for their favorite knuckle headed ninja.
***
Naruto swiftly arrived at his apartment. He grabbed a bunch of storage scrolls that Jiji had given him a while back. He would pack everything but his survival gear into them. The gear would go into his backpack. He quickly began packing his things. He wanted to be packed before his time was up. He knew if he stayed even a minute over the specified time, the council would use that as an excuse to kill him. He finished sealing the last of his possessions and looked around his empty apartment. He had lived her since he was sic. He remembered the day Jiji had brought him here after the orphanage had kicked him out. He sighed and put the last scroll into his backpack. He knew that soon it would be time to go. He would leave bright and early tomorrow morning. Now he some friends he had to say good-bye to.
***
Naruto opened the door to his apartment for the last time and stepped out. He walked down the stairs and put him key into the landlords’ mailbox. He had said goodbye to everyone yesterday except for Shino, who was till away with his father and Kakashi, who he could not find.
Everyone’s reaction had surprised him. He had not realized he was liked that much by his peers. The entire rookie eight plus Team Gai were furious with the council. Sakura had raged and cried. She had just lost her last teammate and it was so unfair. Kiba had growled angrily and stormed home to yell at his mother for allowing this to happen. Hinata had blushed when he arrived and then fell silent with anger, unable to express her rage accept by glaring at the ground. Neji reaction was hard to pin down. He was so quiet but Naruto saw the anger and unhappiness of the blatant obvious mistreatment of Naruto.
Shikamaru had muttered that his was all so troublesome and stared angrily up at the clouds. Chouji used one of his family jutsus and stared smashing up Team Tens training ground. Ino screamed angrily for half and hour. Naruto thought his ears would bleed at her shrillness. Lee had screamed angrily about the councils extreme unyouthfullness and began to repeated punch the training post in front of him until it splintered. Ten-ten said nothing but the hail of sharp, pointy weapons against the tress told Naruto what she would like to do to the members of the council.
Since he had not been able to find Kakashi at all he was unable to say goodbye to his genin sensei. He walked through the village to gates. He nodded to the chunin guards who nodded back and wished him luck. He took a bracing breath and stepped through the gate and out of Konoha for what would be a long time. He swiftly began to move away from the village. He had decided he would go to wave first and then decide where he would go from there.
A couple of miles later, he slowed to a stop. Waiting for him on the path was ero-sennin and Kakashi-sensei. Kakashi stepped forward. He held out four scrolls which were the same as the ones that Kakashi had given him earlier. “Kakashi cleared his throat, “These four scrolls contain every singe jutsu that I have ever copied.” He smiled tightly behind his mask, his anger radiating off of him. “I spent all day yesterday and all night making copies of them out for you.”
Jiraiya stepped forward and handed him another bunch of scrolls. “These scrolls are from Tsunade, Iruka and Shizune. They are filled with things they think you need. Extra shuriken, etc. As well as a lot of money.” Jiraiya grinned evilly and continued, “Tsunade raided the treasury for you, brat. She said if they were going to exile her little brother then she would take it out of the villages’ pocket. If you manage it wisely it should last you awhile.”
Naruto pulled off his pack and put the eight scrolls in with the others. Jiraiya cleared his throat, “This is from me . . .” he paused for a moment, “from me and the Yondaime.” Jiraiya passed Naruto five more scrolls.
Naruto looked at the scrolls and one caught his eye. It had a familiar spiral on it that had appeared on his clothes when he was younger. It also bore the name of Namikaze. He looked up at Jiraiya, “The Yondaime?”
“The scroll contains the inheritance that he and his wife, Uzumaki Kushina, left you. You were not supposed to get it until you were older but I think he would understand why I am giving it to you now.”
“Wife?” Kakashi choked out, a burning question in his visible eye.
Jiraiya looked at Kakashi and slowly nodded his head. “Why was I never told?”
“To keep him safe. If you had known you would have become more involved in his life. Which would have drawn attention to him by people we did not want knowing the truth,” came the soft reply.
Naruto listened to his with wide eyes, “The Yondaime’s my …”
“Yes. You go by your mother’s last name in order to protect you from your father’s enemies. Only Sarutobi and I knew of your parent’s marriage and when they died we thought it would be best to keep it quiet. If your father’s enemies had known about you it is most likely you would be dead by now. That is why Kakashi was never told. He would not have been able to stay away from you. This in turn would have drawn the attention of those who hated your father to you.” Jiraiya closed his eyes and hen whispered, “It’s why I stayed away from Konoha for so long. If I had been in the village I would have gone to visit my Godson.”
“Godson!”
Jiraiya nodded, “You don’t think our meeting at that hot spring was and accident, do you? Sarutobi and I arranged it with Kakashi and Ebisu for you have you here and to have events eventually leading for you to demand me to train you.”
Naruto grinned at Jiraiya and turned to Kakashi just as the Copy-nin had moved to desperately hug his student. “I was angry at the council before this now I’m even more enraged,” he hissed through clenched teeth. Naruto could hear the rage leashed in his sensei’s voice and shuddered inwardly. He was glad it was not him that Kakashi was pissed at. “Naruto, you show those overblown, pompous, ignorant bastards on the council just what they so callously threw away and stay safe.”
Naruto blinked back the tears that were threatening to fall ask Kakashi words brought back all that he had lost. “I will, Kakashi-sensei.”
“Good.”
Kakashi let Naruto go and stepped back. Naruto grinned shakily up at Kakashi and Jiraiya. “Well, I guess it is time for me to go,” he whispered as he put the last of the scrolls into his bag.
“By the way, brat,” Jiraiya said, “The rest of the scrolls I gave you contain various toad jutsus as well as some of my personal favorite jutsus. “I also left instruction on how to train with the various toads you can summon. I also included basic sealing manual. Your father left you the more advanced stuff.”
Naruto nodded and his eyes were once again caught by the spiral which he now realized was a family insignia. His finger brushed over it and determination filled crystal blue eyes. He vowed to make his parents proud. He would be her best!
He closed the pack, put it on his back and turned to leave just when tow figures appeared over the horizon. The figures quickly resolved themselves into the Aburame’s. Shibi and Shino stopped before them. Shibi looked at hen=m and then inquired, “What is going on, Kakashi?”
Kakashi smiled grimly and replied, “Uchiha Sasuke ran from the village to join Orochimaru. When Tsunade found out she sent out the only force she had at the time, Nara Shikamaru, Akimichi Chouji, Hyuga Neji, Inuzuka Kiba and his partner Akamaru and Uzumaki Naruto. They were later joined by the Sand siblings and Rock Lee. They ended up going against six Jounins of Oto. Naruto fought Sasuke and lost the fight to him who hen continued to proceed to join Orochimaru. The council in its infinite wisdom decided to banish Naruto over this. We were just saying our goodbyes to our favorite brat.”
Shibi and Shino’s eyes narrowed and their Kekai buzzed menacingly. “Those no good bastards. I take it the rest of team didn’t get banished?”
“No,” Jiraiya stated.
“Bastards! They used such a flimsy excuse. The other villages will wonder just what the hell is going one,” whispered Shibi viciously.
“True enough,” Jiraiya agreed.
Shibi looked at Naruto and inclined his head. “Good luck, Uzumaki Naruto,” he stated formally.
“Thank-you.”
Shino nods his head, his kekai still buzzing angrily. He stepped up beside Naruto and whispered his own good-bye and a heartfelt good luck.
Naruto waved goodbye to everyone and started loping down the road. Shino stood there and watched him go until he could no longer be seen. With one last indecipherable glance down the road he headed back to his village with his father, Jiraiya and Kakashi.
Now that was exhausting. See you tomorrow.
Zha'hai'vallv'a!
