Chapter 1

Huff, Huff!

"You know, with this hole in my chest and your dead weight, it is hard hauling your teme butt back to the village!" Naruto verbalizes while stumbling his way back to the village.

As Naruto finally stumbles back into the village he sees all of his friends (the ones that are not currently in the hospital). Specifically he sees Sakura.

He smiles at her thinking she is going to be so proud of him for bringing Sasuke back to the village. How wrong he was.

Sakura takes a good look at Sasuke (completely ignoring the blood coming from Naruto, "Naruto you baka. How could you hurt Sasuke-kun! I cannot believe it!"

"Sakura-chan, what do mean, he was trying to kill me. I did what I had to do to bring him back for you, he's just little beat up but will be fine." replies Naruto.

"I didn't ask you to bring him back half dead. I hate you, you monster!" yells Sakura as she cradles Sasuke.

At this point people are cheering and supporting Sakura for putting the 'demon' in its place.

Naruto friends start to step forward but at that moment the Village Council steps through the crowd and glares Naruto's friends. Seeing their parents and village leaders gather around makes the Konoha Rookies back down.

Naruto, with tears building in his eyes, sees the council approach and attempts to stand as best he could.

Koharu and Homura step forward "Naruto Uzumaki, by decree of the council you are hereby banished from Konoha until further notice. You are not to come within 200 miles of the village and you are not allowed to collect any belongs you believe you own. This decree is executed immediately and you must leave at once."

Naruto couldn't believe it. "Why am I being banished, I completed the mission?"

"The council does not have to justify itself, nor do you have any right to ask this question" Homora said.

Naruto looks to his friends for support, but due to fear of the council and respective parents his friends keep their eyes down at the ground unable to look at Naruto.

"What about the Hokage, doesn't banishment have to have her seal of approval?" asks Naruto.

This time Koharu speaks up, "once again we don't have to answer your questions; however, here is a copy of the banishment for you. It clearly has her seal stamped at the bottom. Now leave before we imprison you." …(What nobody notices is Shikamaru running has fast as he can to the Hospital)

With tears running down his face Naruto glances up at Hokage Mountain realizing his dream will no longer come true and runs from the village as fast as he can.

In the back ground nobody sees Danzo fade into the shadows with a pleased looked on his face.

While Naruto is running from the gates Shikamaru burst into the Hospital looking for Tsunade. When he finds out where she is at he is stopped by the Hospital staff due to her being in surgery. Shikamaru is forced to wait for the surgery to be complete and starts pacing the floor.

One hour later Tsundae exits the surgery room and see Shikamaru pacing with a very angry and concerned look on his face.

"Shikamaru, Choji is going to be just fine. Don't you worry…." Tsunade seeing the tears in his eyes but not tears of joy. She can see his emotion and wonders what's going on.

"Hokage-sama, the council has banished Naruto". Heaves Shikamaru.

Tsunade's eyes widen. "WHAT! How is that possible, they don't have my approval for such action?"

"Hokage-sama, they did have it"

Tsunade was confused. She never would have approved this. Her Naruto was precious to her. Her anger was starting to flare beyond belief.

Tsunade storms out of the hospital with Killer Intent (KI) so high that the village could feel it.

The council having prepared for this was waiting in the council chambers with smug looks on their faces (except Hiashi and Danzo due to their never losing composure attitudes).

A few minutes later at the Council Chambers

Tsunade bursts through the doors in a rage.

"Where is this decree" Tsunade screams while taking her place at the table.

Homura hands Tsunade the decree.

"You have forged my seal on this document without my approval. This is not only treason, but null and void"

"Tsunade….

"That is Hokage-sama, Danzo, don't you dare disrespect me again" Tsunade seethes toward Danzo.

"My apologies Hokage-sama", Donzo replies rather nonchalant like. "However, per village law while you are disposed, in this case in surgery, we as the council do have the authority to act in the best interest of the village."

"And pray tell how banishing Naruto is in the best interest of the village" Tsunade replies still leaking KI.

Koharu replies "the Uchiha are the legacy of the village and Naruto practically kills him dragging him back to the village. This cannot go unpunished. However, the offence is not tantamount to a death penalty according to Danzo-san; however, per the suggestion of the civilian council banishment is the only option available."

With Tsunade's voice rising every minute…"So you are telling me that Naruto completed the mission and just because he roughed up your precious Uchiha he was banished." (At this point the civilian side has passed out by the level of KI that Tsunade is emitting in the room.)

"And what about you Shinobi Council" Tsunade directs her attention to just now. "Your children are friends with Naruto, how could you possible support this?"

Shibi Aburame speaks up, "Hokage-sama, we believe our children will be safer with Naruto being gone considering…what's inside him. It is only logical to protect the village from all threats both outside and within the village."

"Naruto has fought beside all your children, hell Choza, Choji might have died today if it wasn't for me being here. I wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for Naruto. He is the sole reason I came back to this village did you know that."

"And what about you Hiashi, If my assistant wasn't here with me then Neji might have died to. You all cannot possibly support this when it is solely Naruto who has saved this village and his friends before. He's a hero!" Tsunade starts trying to reason and holding back her tears.

At this point Danzo opens his mouth, "Tsu...Hokage-sama, we are very fortunate to have you here among us, but as shinobi our children can be placed in serious danger while serving the village. It is only natural that deaths may occur. This is a fact that shinobi must come to accept and a fact that all parents must accept as well"

Unseen to everyone in the room the Shinobi side having agreed with Danzo on the banishment of Naruto all mentally flinch at how callous Danzo was with their children's lives. However, they cannot appear to be weak in resolve so they all file this information away for now not knowing that each of them was thinking the same thing. Did we support the wrong side, Danzo always has been secretive.

Tsunade seeing that she has no support and not seeing a way out of this mess currently decides to leave a threat out there for now…"I will allow this FOR NOW; however, I pass a new law right now that if anyone uses the Hokage's power without prior authorization then it will be seen as treason punishable by immediate death. I would like to see anyone say anything about this right now, I DARE YOU!"

Everyone realizing how serious she was being decided to let it get go and leave.

As soon as everyone left the room Tsunade breaks down and cries. She promises that she will find a way to bring Naruto back home.
