First story ever on fanfiction so don't flame me too badly.
Just to let you know, this will not be a Naruto x Sakura fic because I think that Sakura just goes with Sasuke more. They're not really my favorite characters. If you think differently, please don't be offended. Pairing instead is Naruto x Temari (favorite female character) On to the story. Trust me there will be dark naruto you can expect that, just not in the first few chapters.
I don't own naruto. There, now you can't sue me.

Metamorphosis
"Go away demon, we don't want you here anymore" shouted a villager. "Yeah, it's time you were killed" another said with a sneer. Naruto turned and looked at the angry mob of people yelling at him. He saw Sakura among them. "Sakura-chan, help!" he begged. "You broke your promise to me. How could you do that? Do us all a favor and get out of here!" Naruto stared at Sakura as if she had slapped him. Naruto's heart broke into pieces. His crush had just treated him like the villagers did. It was too much too take. How had this happened?
Flashback
He and his friends sat in a restaurant talking. They had not seen each other in ages being too busy with missions from Tsunade. "HOW DID YOUR MISSION GO NARUTO?" Lee yelled. Lee had finally gotten ridden of the bowl haircut and the green jumpsuit but was still the same lee everyone knew and loved. "Just fine, it was only a B-rank mission after all. I can handle missions. Believe it!!" Everyone laughed at the number one hyperactive ninja.
Three ninjas walked in and over to the booth where everyone was sitting. One of them asked "the hokage orders the attendance of you at her office stat" Everyone wondered why would she want all of them at her office.
They arrived to find the council and Sasuke sitting in one of the chairs that was around a table. Neji, Lee, Kiba, Choji, Shikamaru glared at the traitor of the village. Sasuke seemed to ignore the glares with an aloof expression. Tsunade starting the meeting announced "the council has decided that Sasuke shall be reinstated as a jounin" All the boys mouth dropped. What the heck !?
Naruto ran out of the office with a frown slamming the door on his way out. Sasuke betrays the village and gets off scot free while we have to be in the hospital for weeks just because of the injuries he gave us. That is so unfair. Punching the wall in frustration, he didn't notice a villager beside him. The villager seeing such immense power ran off to tell the others.
As Naruto walked down the street , he began to notice mothers hiding their children away from them and their husbands sharpening swords and knifes. What has the villagers so riled up? A mob appeared at the end of the street he was on. "What going on here?"
End Flashback
Neji, Lee and the others looked out at the commotion in the street all thinking What's going here? They could't rush out and kill innocent people. The group was stuck watching helpless while the all the elders except Tsunade smirked at the scene.
Naruto looked left and right and couldn't see an escape. Villagers left and right started throwing rocks at him. He couldn't take much more of this.
He closed his eyes and appeared in front of a huge dungeon, cage of the kyuubi.
What do you want weakling?
The monster glanced at Naruto and sensed that something was troubling him.
Kyuubi all I ask of you right now is too give me enough power to escape from Konoha
Alright, but only since I don't want people thinking that my container may be weak. I will definitely not allow that.
Outside Naruto's mind, the villagers including Sakura wondered in the boy was unconscious. Suddenly they felt an overwhelming power source nearby. Danger was in the air. Villagers soon realized it was coming from the container of the kyuubi. Red charka was covering the body of the boy giving him red highlights in his blond hair. His whiskers became thick and wide. Naruto opened his eyes and everyone looked in horror at his eyes. No longer were they a stunning blue but a dark shade of red in slits.
Naruto stormed through the crowd knocking out whoever was in his way until he was out of the village. He turned around let out a ferocious yell making everyone in town piss themselves if they hadn't already.
Marking a line through his leaf protector, Naruto became a missing nin at the age of 15.

Ten years later…
"Looks like I'm back to this ugly trashed place, Konoha", mumbled a stranger in a red cloak. He was approaching the gates quickly jumping off the trees to land on the ground. Man, the wall protecting this city is pathetic. I could flick it and it would collapse. Maybe I should just to scare them. What about it Kyuubi?
What ever, you mortal. As long as you get your revenge, I'll be happy. How about it? Walking in and destroying every building in sight. Muwhahahaha! Not now Kyuubi, it will be sweeter once everyone feels like I wouldn't hurt a fly. Once that happens, surprise! What a splendid way to get my revenge.
The stranger continued walking to the gate. He was approached by the guards. "Who goes there? Enemy or foe? Let me check your papers now. Hand them over." As the stranger handed them over the guards checked him over. He felt a powerful aura coming for the stranger. This guy could kill me if I got him mad. He checked the papers and found something wrong. He started to look"I'm sorry, but your papers don't check out so if you could wait-
The stranger had already gone into the village. The guard tried to call after him but mysterious man had turned the corner before he could him.
He took off his cloak to reveal his blond hair with red highlights, pointed ears and the same thin lines on his cheeks. As he walked through the town, you could hear girls swooning. He neared the ramen shop to see if anyone he knew was there.
"Choji stop being such a pig. Shikamaru stop being so lazy" drifted from the shop.
The stranger recognized the voice. It was Ino's. He put back on the cloak so he wouldn't be recognized and walked inside and sat at the counter. The container of the Kyuubi looked down the counter. There was a beautiful blond woman sitting there with an orange skirt and white blouse on yelling at two guys, one with a ponytail and the other with a hat on. The woman was too busy yelling to realize that someone was staring at her.
Hokage's tower:
It's been ten years now, since he left. I wonder where he is, hopefully alive and well. Tsunade sat at her desk with a bottle of sake. Paperwork sat in a messy stack next to her. Tsunade was too busy missing Naruto to file or do any work. It was the anniversary of the day he left. She remembered how the citizens had partied for a week until Naruto's friends had crashed the party attacking anyone in sight. It had taken at least 10 jounin just to stop them. She drank more sake as she looked at more pictures
Her remembering was cut short when a guard knocked on the door. "Come in." The guard stood in front of her sweaty from hurrying here. It must be a emergency. "What is it? Is there a problem?"
The guard replied after catching his breath, "We have a stranger loose in the village and the villagers are complaining that behaving suspiciously."
"You and several guards catch him and bring him here. We'll figure out what to do then," Tsunade ordered. The guard vanished from sight to round up others. Tsunade realizing that she had stood up, sat back down with her mind on the matter on hand.

Back at Ichikaru:
Would they just shut up! All I want is some freakin ramen but nooo I have to get the yell at everybody Ino show! The stranger glared at the girl wishing she would shut her mouth. He watched the conversation in silent anger.
"Shikamaru, stop being so lazy, Sensei wanted us to practice for any new missions we might have.
"This is so troublesome."
"Don't tell me it's troublesome, it's you being so difficult!"
"Ino, calm down, let us eat some ramen and we'll join you in a minute. Now let's see which flavor should I get? I like this one and this one and ooh that one is good too."
Well at least I know they haven't changed. Suddenly he noticed a few people dressed in guard clothes enter the shop. They walked to the loud group of Shikamaru, Choji and Ino and talked to them about something. Naruto couldn't hear because he wasn't very close. He was so absorbed in his thinking he hadn't noticed that everyone in the shop was looking at him. The container looked toward the group of guards. One came forward and announced "You are to be assisted to the Hokage's tower." Another one stepped forward. He noticed this one had long hair and pale eyes. It was Neji. Neji said with a smirk, "Give up quietly and there won't be a ruckus. It's not you destiny to beat us. "
Naruto stood up in a hurry and looked to see if there was a way to escape without revealing his identity. He put his hands together and did a few jutsus and the next thing the guards saw was a rush of wind because the stranger was gone.
"Split up and find him. We must before he makes any trouble. He seems to be a dangerous one. Be cautious." The lead guard announced. The other guards vanished. Naruto walked down the street oblivious to the stares he was given. Who else would walk through a town during a sunny day with a hood on? That was just looking for trouble. Now let's see where could the old hag be? I hope she hasn't sold my apartment just because I was gone for ten years.
Meanwhile at the Hokage's Tower:
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE'S GONE. HE WAS RIGHT IN YOUR SIGHT AND YOU LET HIM GO!! YOU IMBECILE!!" Said guess who(Tsunade).
"I'm sorry Hokage but he just vanished. Don't worry, we're sending out our finest ninja to find him. I guarantee we will find him in five minutes." assured the guard.
Back in town:
A group of young jounin walked or more like jumped through the town looking for their target that had disappeared out of thin air. Sakura, Sasuke, Lee, Neji, Ino, Shikamaru, Choji, Kakashi, Iruka, Hinata, Shino, Kiba, and Tenten were asking every citizen if they had seen a stranger in a red cloak. Almost all of them had pointed in the same direction with their hands shaking saying that they had felt a huge killing intent. Thanking the citizens, the group continued on. They searched the whole town except for the practicing fields. After they had finished, they all agreed to search in the last place they hadn't searched. They found the stranger sitting in a tree looking at the sky. If Shikamaru wasn't there with them, they would have thought the stranger was him. Sasuke ran over to the tree sending fire out of his fingers onto the tree burning the tree down leaving nothing but ash.
The stranger jumped into the air and landed several feet from the burning tree. He pulled a sword out holding it with his right hand. Sasuke rushed him turning his sharingan on, jumped into the air and performed Dragon Fire technique. The stranger just avoided his attach as if someone had just thrown a dodge ball at him.
Using his sword, Naruto rushed at the ninja in front of him. He will pay for what he has done with his life. He's the one that probably told him of our fight at Valley of the End. He performed several jabs at Sasuke who narrowly dodged them. Sasuke managed to get a hold of Naruto cloak and pushed it back revealing the person the group had not seen in ten years.
Everyone including Sasuke yelled, exclaimed, and/or screamed,
NARUTO!!
Mentally putting on his goofy mask, he smiled and laughed.
Hopping back in forth on his feet, he exclaimed "Come on you guys, come on, I always did want to see if I could beat all you guys."
Sakura slowly walked forward to Naruto leaving all of the surprised shinobi. She looked almost nervous. Stopping in front of Naruto, she hugged him and whispered in his ear, "I'm so sorry, Naruto for what I said. I was just sad about Sasuke. I didn't mean it."
Naruto gently patted his hand on her back trying to comfort her, all the while saying, "It's all right Sakura, why would I remember something I know you didn't mean." Yeah right, she's been saying stuff to me like that since I've known her.
Meanwhile, Hinata worked up the nerve to ask her ex-crush the question that was everyone's mind. "Where have you been?
Before Naruto could speak a word, Sasuke spoke "You have to go to the Hokage dope and explain why you have most of the shinobi chasing after you."
"No way, teme, why would I do that?" Naruto answered with a smirk. And with that statement, he disappeared. The group was mesmerized. How could the number one hyperactive ninja disappear so fast? Only the ANBU and the Yellow Flash could do that. They split up to find him.
