It has been a dark eight years for Konohagakure. The economy of the village was falling; the population was in a state of division, and the rest of the Eastern World was either united against them or were unwilling to work with them. All this trouble could be traced back to the banishment of one blond haired Shinobi, Naruto Uzumaki.

Konoha Council Chambers-8 years ago

The twelve year old Uzumaki was standing before the council, covered in chakra restraining seals and chains. Following the successful Sasuke Retrieval Mission, Naruto was arrested for causing bodily harm to the arrogant Uchiha, later being charged with attempted murder. The council, of course, payed no attention to the various broken bones and damage done to Naruto from Sasuke's Chidori.

Naruto was locked away in a chakra restricting cell for weeks, while the clan heads, with the exception of the Inuzuka, told their children his secret about holding the Kyuubi. They managed to convince them he was the demon instead of just the container. Most of the Konoha 11 was now thoroughly against Naruto, the only exceptions were Rock Lee and Tenten Higurashi.

Most of the Jounin were also turned against him, with Maito Gai, Kurenai Yuhi, Iruka Umiono, and Anko Mitarashi being the exception.

The only ANBU that remained on Naruto's side was Yugao Uzuki.

Now, Naruto stood before both the scowling civilian and Shinobi council, with even Jiraiya scowling at him. The only comfort he had was from the saddened face of the Hokage, Tsunade Senju. His gaze then fell on three people he hated with a passion, Danzo Shimura, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utataane. The three elders had it out for Naruto since he was born and now they felt they finally had what they wanted.

"Naruto Uzumaki" said Tsunade with clear sadness in her voice "You have been accused of the attempted murder of Sasuke Uchiha. For this you are stripped of your rank as a Shinobi of Konohagakure. We shall also vote on wither or not you shall be banished from the village. All those for…"

The civilians, clan heads, with the exception of Tsume Inuzuka, the elders, and even Jiraiya raised their hands. Tsunade looked at Jiraiya with a look of pure disgust.

"And all against" said Tsunade.

Only Tsunade and Tsume raised their hands.

Tsunade let a few tears run down her cheeks before saying "Naruto Uzumaki you are here by banished from Konohagakure". She then whispered to herself "I'm sorry".

Naruto stood silent through the entire event with his head down, his bangs creating a shadow over his eyes. Finally he looked up and said with a sinister smile "Thank you".

The council went completely silent for a good minute before Danzo said "What do you mean demon?"

Naruto turned to him and said "Thank you for letting me leave this hellhole. Now I can finally reach my real potential without scum like you holding me back. And know this, one day I'll be back and only a few will be happy when I return".

He then turned to Tsunade and said "Don't be sad Granny; I know this isn't your fault. I promise to grow stronger for you and those who truly care for me". Hearing this made Tsunade give a small smile.

Naruto was then lead out by ANBU guards and lead to the village gates. Civilians and Shinobi yelled insults at him and threw things at him until he was finally past the gates. The ANBU removed the seals and chains from him before pushing him out the gate.

Naruto was beginning to walk away when he heard a female voice say "Wait!" Turning around he saw Shizune running towards him. Once she reached him, she pulled him into a tight hug. Shocked at first, Naruto soon smiled and returned the hug.

After a few minutes Shizune pulled back and Naruto saw tears in her eyes, "I'm so sorry this happened Naruto" she said.

Naruto gently wiped away her tears and said with a smile "It's okay Shizune. I promise, someday I'll comeback".

Shizune returned a sad smile and gave him one last hug before going back to the village.

Taking one last look, Naruto sent a sinister smile at the village before beginning his journey.

Present Time

After Naruto's banishment, things for Konoha went from bad to worse. Already weakened from the failed invasion by Orochimaru, they were further weakened by diplomatic loses. Suna, now under the leadership of Gaara, severed all ties with Konoha, along with Wave country. The worse was once the Fire Daimyo got word of the banishment. The Daimyo was greatly angered by the fact Konoha had banished a Shinobi for successfully completing a mission. As a result, he cut Konoha's military budget by 30%. This lead to a massive deduction in the quality of the weapons and training for the next Shinobi members.

Once news of the deductions reached Orochimaru, he was quick to formulate a new plan of attack. He decided to recruit both Iwagakure and Kumogakure into an alliance against Konoha. Iwa agreed in order to get revenge against the massive loss in forces done by Minato Kamikaze. Kumo agreed because Orochimaru promised to deliver to them a Hyuga in order to obtain the Byakugan. This lead to the formation of the Oto-Iwa-Kumo Alliance, (O-I-K for short). The three have launched continued cross border attacks on Konoha, causing massive causalities for both sides.

Konoha was also plagued by internal conflicts. The council had made major changes to the structure of power, making the Hokage almost just a figurehead with them containing most of the power. This inevitably led to conflict between the clans and the civilian council members. The Inuzuka clan especially grew angry, with all except Kiba refusing to work with the civilian population. Tsunade was unable to stop them due to her depressed state cause by the loss of Naruto.

This allowed Danzo to implement his ROOT training system into the mainstream Shinobi educational system. The new Shinobi were now being raised to be emotionless killing machines, loyal in name to Konoha but truly to Danzo only.

The few who supported Naruto were constantly harassed by the civilian and fellow Shinobi. Team Guy was ultimately disbanded due to conflict when Neji vocally called Naruto a "pathetic demon". This lead to a massive beat down by his teammates, even Gai joining in. Neji was now being trained by his clan only, Gai became only Lee's instructor, and Tsunade agreed to let Tenten become her apprentice.

Kurenai also refused to be her team's leader after the horrible words they said about Naruto. She was especially disappointed in Hinata, who said "I can't believe I ever liked that demon". She also refused any date with Asuma after he said "I can't believe my father ever protected that demon". This lead to a painful lesson by the Genjutsu Mistress, by putting in a Genjutsu with him forced to watch Orochimaru and Gai oiled up and dancing.

The former team members were now trained by the clans, except Kiba whose mother refused to teach him after turning of his friend. This caused him to declare he should be clan head and his mother shouldn't be since she's a woman. This of course, led to a painful lesson from his mother and sister, Hana.

Iruka quit his job as a teacher after refusing to teach the ROOT system to the new Shinobi students. He attempted to convince the council it was a horrible system but they said it was for the best of the village they have ninjas as ruthless as possible.

The owners of Naruto's favorite ramen stand, Teuchi and Ayame Ichiraku, were harassed so mush Tsunade actually payed for them to leave the village safely and find a new place to live.

Currently, Tsunade was seated in the council chambers with the two councils discussing the problem of the O-I-K raids on the border. They were giving the usual ideas of more border guards or increased traps, until Jiraiya arrived. After Naruto was banished, Jiraiya became an even bigger pervert. His peeping increased and he even began peeping on the academy students. This always led to a painful beating by Tsunade, only for him to do again it a few hours later.

"What do you have to reports Jiraiya" asked Danzo.

"Well we still can't get any help from Suna. Wave is still unwilling to do any trade with us in order to get more supplies. I think we should look elsewhere for help" answered Jiraiya.

"What do you mean by that" asked Homura.

"I think we should look to The West for help" answered Jiraiya.

This was met with complete silence from the council until Shikaku Nara said, "What do you mean by that? I thought The West was just a collection of warlord controlled areas".

Jiraiya chuckled at that and said "It was, until a few years ago. A new warlord appeared there about six years ago. Unlike most of them, he started moving from one area to the next, taking control and gaining the armies of the various warlords. About two years ago he took over the former capital and declared the creation of what he calls the Taiseiyo Teikoku (Great Western Empire). He himself is now Emperor".

"Who is this new Emperor?" asked Hiashi Hyuga.

"I unfortunately don't know. I have sent people to try and find his identity, but every time his police force arrests them. The Shinobi he usually kills, but he lets the Kunoichi go home" answered Jiraiya.

"That is interesting but how do we know they can help us?" asked Inoichi Yamanaka.

"I know you may doubt Western Forces could fight forces here, but I know they can" answered Jiraiya.

"What do you mean by that?" asked Choza Akimichi.

"As you know Kirigakure has been in a bloody civil war for years now. Both the Mizukage and the Rebels neither side gaining or losing much ground through the whole war. That ended with the arrival of Western Forces on the side of the Rebels. After a few months of fighting the old Mizukages's forces were destroyed and the Rebel leader became the new Mizukage" said Jiraiya.

"That certainly is impressive" said Tsume Inuzuka.

"That's not all. A few months back, the daughter of the former Daimyo of the Land of Snow was kidnapped by the man who took over. She was scheduled to be executed, until an army of former Daimyo loyalists along with Western Forces stormed Kazahana Castle and rescued the girl. They then continued and captured the then Daimyo, later executing him for the murder of the former. The girl is now the Daimyo and has renamed the place the Land of Spring" said Jiraiya.

"It seems that the Western Forces are truly ones that can handle fighting people like the O-I-K. I believe it is best we try and form an alliance with them" said Shibi Aburame.

"Agreed" said Koharu "All those in favor of seeking an alliance with the West…"

The entire council raised their hands.

"Then it is settled. Jiraiya you shall form an expedition team to establish an alliance with the West" said Koharu.

The entire meeting Tsunade just sat quietly, knowing she had no real voice anymore. She just sat and thought to herself "It's been eight years. I hope you're okay Naruto".

Taiseiyo Teikoku (Great Western Empire)

The land known as the West is a unique land. It is mostly a desert filled with the few plants that can survive such a climate. Most towns are built near the coastal regions while a few villages exist in the harsh desert, filled with hardened people who thrive in harsh locations. The coast of the West is where most of the population is. All major cities as well as the new capital were by the coast.

The people in the West were also unique. Most don't use chakra and many can't even channel it. Many however, have control over the elements Air, Earth, Water, and Fire. The people who have this ability are called Benders, because they can bend the elements to their will. Those who aren't benders are usually trained in the arts of swordsmanship or martial arts. Their skills are at a level many consider them almost stronger then Benders. This lead to a rise in conflict between the two, only resolved by the introduction of the now Emperor who brought them together. The coast also used to have a problem with pirates, each competing to immense the most wealth. The Emperor was able to get their loyalty by promising most amnesty and garneting they would keep most of their wealth.

The West's history was also unique. It was once an actual empire, until the king for most of the empires existence passed away. Since the king never had an heir, an internal conflict between former allies to broke out to see who would become king. This lead to a massive war between the various sides that brought about the end of the empire. Soon only mini states, ruled by warlords was left. The East, meanwhile, built a massive wall in order to keep the fighting from spreading.

Many believed this way would remain forever, until the arrival of the now Emperor. Unlike most warlords, the Emperor treated both the civilians and captures soldiers humanly, getting their trust and support. Most captured soldiers joined his army as he began moving into more territories. After four years of fighting, the entire West has brought under his control and he declared the creation of the new Taiseiyo Teikoku with him as Emperor. Another unique thing about the Emperor was most of his closest allies were women. Most just thought they were allies with similar ideas, however many saw a clear romance between the Emperor and the women. So for many it was no surprise when during his coronation as Emperor he proposed to all of them, with them saying yes. The date of the wedding is soon approaching with the entire population expected to be attending.

As of now, the Emperor was currently sleeping in a rather large bed with two women, one a beautiful tanned women with mint green hair and the other with blond hair in a long ponytail, sleeping by his side. The two women were awoken by the sound of knocking on the door, the Emperor was still sleeping. Deciding to be playful, the two gave him a double cheek kiss, waking him up.

"Always a great way to wake up" said the Emperor, making the two women blush and smile. He then heard the knocking and after the two women covered up, due to their lack of clothing, he said "Enter".

A man in a full suite of samurai armor then enter and saluted "Hail the Emperor!" he said.

"What is it soldier" asked the Emperor.

"There is a meeting today with your generals in one hour, Sir" answered the samurai.

"Very well. I will be there shortly. Dismissed" answered the Emperor.

The samurai gave a final salute before leaving and closing the door.

The Emperor turned to the two and said "Well looks like we have to get up".

"Aw, I don't wanna. I'm comfortable here. Besides, after last night I'm not sure we can get up" said the mint haired girl, making both women smile and blush.

The Emperor chuckled then said "Now Fu, you know we have to attend this meeting. You and Yugito get ready and I'll see you there".

The two, know identified as Fu and Yugito, sighed before saying "Fine". The two then got up, giving the Emperor a nice view of their absolutely stunning bodies, and proceeded to leave, but not before saying… "We'll see you soon…Emperor Uzumaki".
