A/N: I want to state before I begin this story, that this is my first Naruto fanfic. Sorry ahead if theirs any mistakes about techniques/jutsu or if some characters seem OOC. Like I said before this is my first one.

To give some details on the actual story.

Pairing is NarutoxTemari, however they won't get together for a good bit.

This is a banishment/leaving Konoha fanfic, I'm not trying to do what others have done in the past. I'm gonna take this a different route in my mind that would be not that cliche (For the most part, this is a post Sasuke retrieval arc too.)

This isn't gonna be some dues ex machina story as well, Naruto will be op eventually, but he is going to train to get that strength.

Feel free to message me/review and tips or suggestions you have.

Well on to the story!

Naruto was for a lack of a better word, fucking sick of everything. Everything was building up and a few thoughts had been going through his head.

He found himself thinking about a very important topic, for anyone in his situation.

That was loyalty, not in just the sense of his loyalty, but loyalty on a whole basis. His and theirs. He was currently sitting in his old rundown apartment that had been vandalized and desecrated on the outside so many times.

He remembered how his day went, and it wasn't good.

He had fulfilled his promise to her and brought back him, and what did he get from it? Ha!, it was like his childhood all over again, he was brought back to being the demon, the one who was to blame. Everyone took his side, save for a few.

He remembered it very clearly indeed.

(Flashback Start)

Naruto found himself staring up at the white room, watching the ceiling fan spin and spin, ignoring his thoughts about what happened at the Valley of The End. He was in the hospital.

He looked down to see the mark where Sasuke's chidori hit him, it didn't leave a scar though. He had always had that insane and ridiculous healing factor of his, so he knew he would be fine.

He didn't know if he could say the same for Sasuke though. He did hit him with a rasengan that was enhanced with the Kyuubi's chakra, so it was reasonable that he did do quite a bit of damage to the boy.

However nothing could prepare him for what would transpire on this day, and it would change him forever. With no going back whatsoever, he would have to make a choice. One that would be his hardest to date.

Suddenly the door opened and in walked Shizune. She was instantly happy to see him awake, he smiled at seeing the hokage's assistant.

"Naruto! How are you?" She quickly asked, clearly worried.

He chuckled a bit and sat up a bit more.

"A bit sore, but nonetheless I'm good." He said.

She sighed and nodded, then she sat down.

"Tsunade was worried like crazy after seeing you in your previous condition, you look to be fairly recovered. So I will get you released, you just have to take it easy for a few days." She said.

He nodded and thanked her, she quickly walked out of the room.

It was a few minutes later and she returned and smiled.

"Your free to leave the hospital, just remember what I said." She said.

He nodded and stood up out of the bed, he noticed his clothes were on the nightstand by it. So he quickly took them and walked into the nearby bathroom. A few moments later he walked out in his normal orange jumpsuit.

He noticed Shizune had already left, he knew she had duties that needed to be taken care of. So he quickly walked out of the hospital, not thinking at all about what this day would bring and the consequences it would have on the world he knew.

Before he knew it he was already walking along the streets of his village when he heard a voice behind him, he instantly knew who it was. However he knew she wasn't happy, but he didn't know why though.

"Hey you!" It was Sakura.

He turned and looked at her in confusion. Why was she looking at him like that?

"Sakura? What's wrong?" He asked quickly.

Her scowl seemed to worsen as she heard him.

"WHAT'S WRONG!? YOU NEARLY KILLED SASUKE!" She screeched angrily.

His expression changed from confusion to annoyed quickly, she was the one who asked him to bring him back in the first place, and he was trying to kill him too. So how was he not supposed to fight back with equal force and not risk dying?

"Why are you being like this? I brought him back like you begged me to, and now your blaming me for nearly killing him? Last time I checked he was coming at me with a chidori as well!" He retorted dryly.

She seemed to falter a bit, however her face contorted back to rage. However before she could speak up, another voice came into the fray.

"Even so Naruto, you lost control of the Kyuubi and used a rasengan at quite a close range. Not to mention the Kyuubi's chakra strengthening it's power." It was Kakashi.

He turned to his sensei and glared, this was starting to turn into a real shit storm for him.

"So your siding with her? You say that I lost control of the Kyuubi, while that is true. Don't forget the fact that Sasuke was using the cursed mark he got from Orochimaru! I had no choice in the matter. It was a simple flip of a coin to me, either risk it and have a chance of being able to match him or staying calm and most definitely going in there without any sort of powerup, which would of been suicidal!" He said quickly.

He was starting to feel the Kyuubi trying to come out, he needed to get away from them quickly before he blew up.

"I thought you of all people would take my side Kakashi, but no. Your blind and fail to see past the fact that just because I lost control, that I'm in the wrong. You know what's also funny? I knew you liked Sasuke better. I mean you straight up ditched me to train him and her for the chunnin exams!" He roared.

Both of them faltered, it seemed Naruto was getting closer to his limit, and would break soon. Then there would be no going back.

Kakashi tried to speak up, but Naruto already started walking away. The damage was done and he knew he couldn't fix what happened, it was already said and done.

Sakura just glared at him, Naruto felt her killing intent and stopped dead in his tracks and turned back to her.

"What? Got something to say?" He said through gritted teeth.

Her glare just hardened.

"Ya, I guess my mother was always right! You truly are a demon!" She screeched.

Kakashi realized what came out of her mouth and turned to Naruto, his eyes were closed and was breathing in and out slowly. He was suppressing a ton of killing intent on his own will.

When his eyes opened, they weren't the cerulean blue eyes. No they were the red eyes that held all his pain, anger and hate. He glared at her and spoke.

"You know what? I can't believe I ever thought of you as a friend! All you did was reject me and push me around or call me stupid then fawn over Sasuke. Your shallow, and I hope you realize Sasuke can't be saved, I know that now. So I'm done, you want him so badly, next time you jump into the fray and try to convince to come back, cause I won't!" He roared at her.

She quickly stepped back, Kakashi knew what's done is done. He just hoped this didn't affect them too much, he knew that was a hopeless thought though.

Sakura didn't have any words as both of them watched Naruto's retreating form.

Naruto needed to calm down quickly, so he walked to the one place where he was always happy, his favorite shop.

Ichiraku's.

He needed some ramen too, he was starving.

Before he knew it he already had a bowl in front of him, suddenly he felt someone sit next to him. It was Jiraiya. He sighed as he heard him speak.

"So kid, tell me what's wrong. I know there's something that's bothering you." He said.

Naruto looked up.

"An argument took place between me, Kakashi and Sakura." He said.

Jiraiya raised an eyebrow, he knew something was wrong now. Naruto never fought that badly with his teammates and if he did it was over something stupid, but the look on Naruto told him that this time it was serious.

"What was said?" He asked.

Naruto began to recall their argument and as Jiraiya listened he could understand where he was coming from.

"I see, Naruto just remember don't listen to what they think about it. Just know that you did what you had to, if you didn't who's to say you would still be here." He said.

Naruto nodded to his sensei and looked at him.

"Thank you." He said.

Jiraiya nodded and looked up.

"Now I got to go, if you need someone to talk to. Don't hesitate to come to me again or someone you know who would listen to you." He said quickly.

Naruto nodded and watched as Jiraiya walked off, however even with his comforting words, the damage was already done. Now he was slowly wondering about what to do, and he had no idea what was going to happen in the next day. It would shake him to his core and make him choose and his life would never be the same.

However it would mean a change for the future, for a new chance at life. To really live and not be a victim.

He quickly finished his food and started to walk away from the shop, as he walked in the streets he noticed glares from the usual people. It seemed things never would change for him.

He was walking for so long and he was lost in his thoughts that he didn't notice the footsteps behind him. He heard a cough behind him and turned to see Ino, Shikamaru and Choji. He growled as he saw there expressions.

It seemed Sakura had already told them, most likely a exaggerated truth though.

"What?" He asked dryly.

Ino stepped forwards and spoke up.

"Who do you think you are? Speaking to Sakura like that? Not to mention your sensei Kakashi!" She asked angrily.

Shikamaru just shook his head, Choji shrugged and started to eat again.

Ino flinched from Naruto's glare.

"Really? Who do you think you re butting in when it isn't your business? You weren't even there! Do you know what was said at all?" He shouted.

They all widened their eyes, Naruto was getting angry, and fast.

"If you think Sakura is right, then go ahead and take her side. I already told my side and explained why I'm right, and I don't regret what I said at all. Sasuke came at me with the intent to kill. So I had no choice!" He shouted.

The Kyuubi started to come out again.

Ino glared at him, Shikamaru was as well.

"That wasn't very smart thing though, you could of gone about it differently." Shikamaru added.

Naruto glared at him, Shikamaru flinched as he felt the killing intent.

"Like I told her, I don't care what you think! I don't give two shits to what your opinion is. So butt out!" He shouted.

He quickly turned around and started to walk away. He heard some mutterings and curses, but ignored them and continued forwards. He shortly arrived at his apartment and slammed the door and fell on the bed, instantly falling asleep.

He was done with it all.

(Flashback end)

That was yesterday, he didn't care anymore. He didn't care what they thought, he had dealt with their opinions with him all his life and he wasn't too thrilled about it.

He was about to get up and go to the Hokage's monument, to clear his head. However he felt lightheaded and fell back on the bed unconscious.

He suddenly found himself in his mind, he knew where he was.

He didn't know why though. He looked at the cage that held the Kyuubi, it looked at him for a minute.

"Brat, come closer." He said.

Naruto flinched at his tone, it was it's normal bitter one, but there was something else to it.

Naruto didn't know what made him, but he complied and walked to the cage.

"I can sense your mind is in turmoil, now I'm not going to sugar coat it for you kid. I can see what you see, I know what has transpired yesterday, the question for you is what would you do about it to change your future?" He suddenly asked.

Naruto blinked, was this right? Was he actually having a civil conversation with him?

"Why do you care?" Naruto asked suspiciously.

The Kyuubi made a snorting sound before speaking up.

"Contrary to popular belief, I am not evil. Even if you are a stubborn brat that needs to learn some respect, I have no choice in the matter. You are my host and if something were to happen to you, I would be affected as well." He explained.

Naruto blinked, but nonetheless spoke up.

"What could I do about it anyways? Most of the village thinks I'm a demon, I know my attempts would be futile. They'd never see me as "Naruto Uzumaki.", no they see me as a nuisance and nonetheless a demon." He said.

The Kyuubi looked at it's host for a minute before relenting.

"Listen, I'm going to be straight with you. Blunt as a matter of fact. What you say is true, with me in you, you'd never really get respect for who you are. Now I'm not suggesting freeing me, I know how'd that would turn out. No what I'm saying is why do you place your trust in people would already turned their backs to you? Why do you try to get them to acknowledge you when you know what the result will always be? With what happened yesterday is more proof to me." He said.

Naruto sighed and realized there was some truth to what he was saying.

"Can you just get to the point?" He asked dryly.

The Kyuubi just snorted.

"Figures you'd say that, ok then. We know you aren't really welcome in this village and most of the people who are your friends have turned, now let's put in a hypothetical and say you had a choice. You could stay in the village and never see any change in how they treat you, or you could throw caution to the wind and say fuck it. Leave the damned place and start a new life." He said with a chuckle.

Naruto's eyes widened.

"Become a missing-nin? Are you insane?" He screeched.

The Kyuubi rolled his eyes.

"Yes a missing-nin, now if this were the case. You wouldn't be alone, I'd personally train you how to use my chakra, so that you'd stand a chance against the hunters." He explained.

Naruto's eyes widened again, if he did do that he could get incredibly more powerful. He could even learn new jutsu's from the other villages. It was tempting indeed.

He knew there was a catch however.

"What's the catch?" He asked.

The Kyuubi laughed.

"Your right, there is a catch. Now if you were to stay here, you'd eventually break and lost control and well, they might not want to deal with you. Who knows what could happen. Now if we were to do the first option, it would be hard to escape. I could do it though, if you gave me control over your body, now this isn't permanent, just to get a good distance away. As to the catch, well first would be some leeway, give me some room to breath in here. Then I would like to at least get some more time to control you. Preferably to fight." He explained.

Naruto was weighing his options, he needed to know if there was anymore to it.

"Is there anything else?" He asked.

"A few things as well, but we can discuss those at a later date. Now there are some other things I think I should tell you." He said quickly.

Naruto blinked again, what was he getting at?

"What is it?" He asked.

He heard what he assumed to be a sigh coming from the Kyuubi.

"Boy it's about your parents, why do you think they never told you your true parentage? There hiding some very important details from you." He said.

Naruto's eyes widened, it couldn't be true? Could it? He looked sharply at the Kyuubi.

"Explain." Was all he said.

The Kyuubi chuckled a bit.

"That got your attention huh? Well it's true they are hiding something from you, and I know what it is. You see your parents are rather famous, and powerful. Especially your father." He started.

Naruto's eyes widened again and he needed to know.

"Who are they?" He asked quickly.

The Kyuubi looked at him seriously.

"You want to know? You need to make a choice, if you knew who they were and you stayed here. It would only cause problems, now if you were to leave and then find out, you could benefit from the knowledge better." He said quickly.

Naruto blinked and got angry suddenly. He was being bribed? The Kyuubi was bribing him!?

"Really?" He asked dryly.

The Kyuubi nodded numbly.

Naruto sighed and looked at him.

"Give me some time to think it over." He said.

The Kyuubi chuckled and nodded, before Naruto knew it he was already waking up.

He quickly got up and started to think about his conversation with the Kyuubi, he was willing to train him and give him knowledge about his parents? That is if he followed what he said and left the village.

He was tempted to do it after all, and all he needed one was little push and he would.

He didn't know that, the push he needed was coming and soon.

Sooner than he thought.

Before he knew it the sun had set and he wasn't back in his apartment yet. He was walking towards the Hokage's monument to think, he needed to decide what he was going to do and fast. He knew their were ANBU members watching him closely.

There was no doubt in his mind, people were noticing the change in his attitude and would come to investigate it.

Soon he was sitting atop the monument and was watching the night sky and he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.

He turned around to see Kakashi and a few ANBU members.

"Naruto, why are you up this late?" Kakashi asked curiously.

Naruto didn't speak, he didn't trust himself to control himself from his boiling rage.

"Why do you care?" He spat.

They noticed his tone was bitter and unforgiving. Kakashi sighed and spoke again.

"Tsunade wants to see you now, there's something she needs to talk to you about." He said.

Naruto didn't move, he looked up before speaking.

"How can I trust what you say?" He muttered.

Everyone heard him and wondered what he was going on about.

"What do you mean?" Kakashi asked quickly.

Naruto turned around to look right at him.

"All my life, I've been treated like a demon by the villagers. I sick of it all, mow my loyalties are in question. Why am I even here when I'm lied to and being treated like I am?" He asked aloud.

Kakashi looked at him shocked.

"What do you mean?" He asked hesitantly.

He was afraid of the answer.

"The Kyuubi told me he knew who my parents are, so if you knew, why'd you lie about it?" Naruto said aloud.

Kakashi sighed and looked at him.

"I think it's time to go to the hokage Naruto." He said.

He was avoiding the question.

Naruto just started laughing.

"No, I don't think so." He muttered.

Kakashi took a step back, what was he thinking? What was he going to do?

"What do you mean?" Kakashi asked quickly.

Naruto didn't speak at all, suddenly a red chakra formed around him and two tails formed.

"I think the brat said it pretty clearly." It was the Kyuubi.

Everyone took up defensive stances.

The Kyuubi was now in control.
