Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters here that belong to Naruto that I put into this story except for my own OCs. Neither do I own any of the character in any of the crossovers I do. I'm just using them in this fanfiction and I have no money so don't bother suing me. You'll just lose money instead of gaining any. And remember to leave a review!

The Purple Plague –

As he wandered through the streets of Selthine, he was just another walker among the throng, and yet, he was nothing of the sort. He had come to lose himself in the mass of humans, he didn't think himself as human anymore. He was now what everyone in that place thought him and treated him like... a demon. He had embraced the demon sealed inside of him and she embraced him back. She had given him her power letting him use her demon energy whenever he wishes. He was no longer the boy he was once was but now something that was created by that place he once called home. Thanks to his shadow clone jutsu he could create a body for her to use as her own, and whenever that body got destroyed she would just return inside of him. Where he would just create another body for her to use when she wanted to be outside for awhile.

In the time he had been there, he had seen almost every corner of the city; the dockside with its many markets, taverns, and shipyards; the industrial area, known by the locals as 'The Works'. The only place he hadn't been able to get a detailed look at from the inside was the citadel in the centre of the city. Selthine had within its confines a five-pointed, star-shaped bastion that rose up above the rooftops of the rest of the city. Inside, so he was told, was where the business of running the city was carried out; as well as where the City-States had their primary weapons factories. Interesting, from a strategic standpoint, but all he really wanted was to bang the brains out of a few willing Human women, regardless of what he had to pay.

The problem was for him, that Selthine just wasn't that kind of city; had he wandered into Akbar, Aarishem, or at least Makovoskaya, there would be women willing to offer their services who would be quite easy to locate. However, in the loose federation of Western States, a land filled with tradespeople and run by the guilds, whores just didn't seem to be a very important or even existant employment niche. He had spent half his money within three days on food, a month's lodgings, some rather nice clothes, and a few dozen books on subjects he could barely comprehend. As he plodded along looking for some release, he was still trying to figure out why anyone would want to use liquid under pressure in the first place. Or even air. And that nonsense on 'refining coal-oil' was a bunch of gobbledygook he didn't even pretend to understand. But the demon within him like reading that stuff saying that it's a good idea to read up on stuff besides fighting stuff.

He was no longer that fool he use to act like in the village. He took that mask off once he was abandon by the place that he had given everything to prove that he wasn't a demon. He made a living now as a sword for hirer, never caring about the job but the pay. He no longer held back like he did before, he did what he wanted and did what he felt like doing, for he just didn't care what the future would bring as he just lived one day at a time. With only the demon his birth father had sealed inside of him. Once he left the village she had spoken to him as she couldn't stand doing nothing anymore. She had watched him grow up and was always there for him. She was the reason why he was alive as she was the only thing that kept him alive when he was small. She cared for him and loved him, for she was his mother that was always there for him, healing him and keeping his mind from breaking. She's the only family he ever had, and the only one he needs.

"Naruto is that you?" a voice from the past ask as he walks down a less traveled road of the city.

"What are a pair of eastern nins doing here in the west?" Naruto ask as he looks over his shoulder at Jiraiya and Kakashi.

"We came to bring you back to the village," Jiraiya answered.

"And why would I care godfather?" Naruto ask the man as he his narrowed at the man who abandon him since the day he was born.

"Tsunade has ordered that you will be restored your status as a shinobi of Konoha as well as your duties as the son of a Hokage. You have rights and privileges of your clan, the inheritance of your father which includes his home, and his old seat on the council prior to him becoming Hokage," Kakashi spoke up.

"Why should those things matter to me so late in my life when they were denied to me back when I needed them? I know what I need to know and that is enough. I owe no allegiance to Konoha anymore or to anyone there," Naruto said staring coldly at the two nins.

"Sarutobi knew that if the world knew of your true heritage, then they would come running to either kill or kidnap you. You're the last of the Namikazes and part of the Uzumakis, and while you may deny your heritage on one side, you cannot deny that their both clans' blood flows through your veins," Jiraiya said. "Your mother and the rest of the clan are waiting for you."

"That woman isn't my mother," Naruto said. "I thought, I made that clear when I left the eastern countries. I mean what does it take for you to get it? I walked away from the battlefield when I was needed the most. I didn't care which side won, the only thing I wanted was the look on everyone's faces when the moment came for me to be the hero. Everything that I was picked to be before I was even born, it was never my life to begin with but nothing more then a plan that those people had me take all so that one day I'll be the one who would stop Akatsuki and their plan. I went and walked away from all of it leaving all of you in my dust." (1)

"Everything will be forgiven," Kakashi said.

"But I do not forgive any of you," Naruto said back. "The only reason why you two are here to bring me back to Konoha is that you need me more then I need you."

"So you heard about it," Jiraiya said.

"Yes I have and I know that the hidden villages aren't doing so good," Naruto said. "With that plague that sweeped through the countries, most of the wars have been halted since the need for able body men are needed elsewhere now. Tell me how many men in the village wasn't damage by the purple plague as they call it?"

"None," Kakashi said sadly.

"So that's the reason why," Naruto smiled. "With so few men left who can still breed now. All the countries are doing everything that they can to find men who can still father children. And since the fox heals me from just about everything, I'm the only one left who came from the Leaf that's left now who can father the next generation."

"Yes you are," Jiraiya said. "That's the reason why we need you. All the other villages have some men who which effected by the plague, leaving us as the only one that doesn't have any. They all know that in least then a generation we will not have the numbers to fight any invasions. Everyone is racing around to breed a new generation as that's the only way that they'll be able to survive." (2)

"I'll comeback with you two," Naruto said raising their hopes but were crush by what came next. "But on my terms."

Author's Notes –

I have been thinking about something that's been on my mind for awhile now. Those who read 'A Fistful Of Omake' by metroanime. Those who don't know it's a bunch of omake's about how different Ranma would be if he was raised by different people. So I have a challenge to all Naruto writers and readers. I call for the 'What if Naruto was raised by …?' challenge! Those who want to write just think of someone raising Naruto besides him being left alone all of his life and how it would change him from the Naruto we know to an all new one. Like what if Goku raise Naruto or if he was raise by the X-men. There are all kinds of stories that can be created so those who I have sparked an idea go and write it! Because mainly, I'm getting tried of some many Yaoi fics being posted. I mean some of them are good but there are too many with him getting together with Sasuke!

I'm still waiting for someone to write a fic base on my idea. Come on people that is a good idea I'm giving you people!

1 – Akatsuki is long gone at this point of time.

2 - I remember reading fics like this a long time ago but can't remember where to find them anymore. Anyone knows any fics like this one please post it on a review please.
