Naruto of whirlpool

I do not own Naruto Kishimoto does.

This story is an extreme AU. Akatsuki does not exist. I am tired of reading Naruto fics with them in it. Itachi, Kisame, Tobi, and Sasori will still appear. The others will make short appearances but will not stay for long. The rest you will find out later. Madara does not exist in this story Tobi is someone else.

Naruto stumbled over an upturned log and cursed. He looked behind him at the dead body of Sabaku no Gaara and grimaced. It had been his first kill. As he headed back to the village he came across sakura's crushed body. She was dead

"oh Sakura I am so sorry I wasn't able to protect you from Gaara but he is dead and you are avenged I hope you can forgive me in the next life."

Naruto whispered sadly. He then moved on. As he traveled he came across the dead bodies of Kankuro and shino. From the looks of it they had fought each other to the death.

"shino I am sorry this happened but you wont be forgotten I promise" Naruto said. After some more traveling he found Shikimaru's dead body alongside that of Asuma and the 9 sound ninja that had been chasing them.

"good old Shikimaru you went down fighting and killed them all with Asuma's help from the looks of it. You always were lazy but in the end you were a true shinobi. "

after a moment of silence Naruto noticed something that sent chills up his spine. It was quiet to quiet. Naruto had a bad feeling to he redoubled his pace back to the village he needed to find out what had happened to the others.

What he found horrified him the gate doors had been blown aside and the ground was littered with Leaf, Sand, and Sound ninja. Naruto raced inside and started to look for survivors. But he found non until he got to the stadium where it had all started. A voice called out catching his attention

"Naruto Naruto over here" it was Kakashi sensei and he looked horrible. "Sensei are you okay what happened here?" Naruto asked. Kakashi grimaced for a moment then focused on him. "its not good Naruto but we lost the battle I saw the Hokage kill Orochimaru before he died I am sorry Naruto"

Naruto was struck dumb. "that's not true tell me its not true sensei he cant be dead." Naruto begged tears in his eyes. "I am sorry Naruto but its true and since there is no movement around us I have to believe that you are one of the last surviving leaf ninja."

Kakashi said. Naruto nodded he could see the extent of his sensei's injuries and it meant that Kakashi was not long for the world. "Naruto what happened to Sasuke, Sakura and Shikimaru?" Kakashi asked. Naruto looked down at his feet for a moment and let the tears fall "they are dead sensei Shikimaru was killed ambushing a bunch of sound nin Asuma was there to so I assume he arrived right as Shikimaru was setting of his ambush and was killed.

Gaara killed Sakura with his sand. Shino who I didn't even know was following us fought and killed Kankuro at the cost of his own life. As for Temari I don't know what became of her she may have gotten away and returned to suna or she may have been killed by either Gaara or me while we were fighting each other.

I killed Gaara after that. Lost track of Sasuke I don't know where he is or if he is dead or alive." Kakashi frowned at the news then got serious. "Naruto I Need you to gather all the survivors up and bring them to the stadium use your shadow clones to do it. If you find any injured treat them as best you can and move on your objective right now is to protect the remnants of the village hidden in the leaves."

Naruto nodded and then used some of the foxes chakra to create an army of Kage Bushins. "you have your orders check every building. If you find a body check for life signs if you find a pulse bring them here." Naruto commanded. "right" the shadow clones yelled they then left. Just as Naruto was going to leave as well Kakashi stopped him.

"Naruto there is something you need to know" What Kakashi sensei?" asked Naruto. "Naruto you need to know something" Kakashi said and just as he was about to get started Naruto interrupted him. "If your going to tell me that the Yondaime Hokage was my father I already know. I also know my mothers name which was Namikaze Uzumaki Kushina. I also know about my relatives in the Whirlpool country"

Kakashi gaped at him "how" Naruto sighed "I found out when I was 8. The old man explained everything and asked that I not breath a word of it to anyone so that I would be able to grow up without having the Iwa nins after my head. As well as my fathers other enemies. Since then I have concentrated on maintaining my image of the village Idiot."

Kakashi looked at him for a moment then eye smiled. "I see so it was all an act." he responded. Just then several shadow clones appeared with some survivors in hand almost all of them were children except two. "Lee Hinata you survived" Naruto yelled happily. Lee nodded sadly

"Gai sensei died to protect both Hinata and me from the sound ninja. Hinata was unable to fight due to her injuries from her fight with neji in the preliminaries." Hinata turned and looked at Naruto "actually my injuries were healed but I couldn't fight because of my chakra exhaustion" Said Hinata with a blush.

Even after all that had happened she still could not talk to Naruto without wanting to faint. She had overcome her shyness over the past month thanks to kiba and several of the girls. Naruto nodded. "I have to go help search for survivors Hinata set up a gathering point for the survivors that come here and have the clones gather up weapons, Food, clothes, and whatever else we will need."

Lee looked at Naruto strangely for a moment "why are we doing this Naruto?" he asked. Naruto grimaced. "the leaf village is lost I intend to take all the survivors to whirlpool I have family there they will take us in." Hinata looked at him in surprise "you have family Naruto?" she asked. "yes it's a long story I will try to explain it to you later. But right now our immediate concern is to gather up what we can and leave before the enemy launches a second attack." he replied.

Naruto then took off in the direction of the academy he wanted to find out what had happened to Iruka. When he got there all he found were dead leaf and sound bodies there were no sign of the academy students or their teachers. Naruto then headed to the Hokage monument and the hidden shelters where the majority of the civilians and academy students would be.

When he got there he was horrified to find that the enemy had found the place as well he started to search for survivors. After a few minutes of looking he found the room where most of the academy students would have been placed. He didn't feel any foreign chakra so he just walked in and looked around. Konohamaru looked up at the person who had just walked in and gasped.

"Naruto your alive thank kami" he yelled. Naruto looked in the direction of the voice and sidestepped the young academy students attempt to tackle him in his enthusiasm. "you okay Konohamaru" Naruto asked as he looked around the room. There were 76 children in the room. "alright kids on your feet we have to go." Naruto called out. The young kids grumbled a bit but obeyed his command and followed him out of the shelter.

Naruto chatted with Konohamaru and his friends for a few minutes while keeping an eye on their surroundings. There were shadow clones everywhere. But from the looks of things most were concentrating on gathering up all the dead civilians and leaf nins. After a few minutes of walking Naruto noticed some movement to the right. After a moment several clones appeared carrying a lone ninja. Naruto recognized him immediately.

It was Iruka sensei and from the looks of him he had been badly injured. Naruto summoned 15 clones and ordered them to get the Academy students to the stadium where all of the leaf survivors were gathering. Once that was done Naruto hurried to Iruka's side to check up on him. "Iruka sensei are you okay?" Naruto asked with a worried tone. Iruka looked at him and frowned "no Naruto I took a kunai knife to the base of my spine I have lost all movement in my legs I am crippled." Naruto grimaced.

"that's regrettable but as long as your alive you can teach the academy students what they need to know to survive in the world." Naruto said. Iruka nodded in agreement but he was frowning. "I wont be able to move around like this but I can still teach these brats." Naruto grinned as he listened to the kids complain in the background. With that out of the way they resumed their journey to the stadium. It took over 35 minutes to get there because of the ever growing number of survivors and supplies being added to the group.

Once they arrived Naruto was delighted to see that their number had increased by over 200 people. He was also delighted to see Tenten and Choji walking up. "Hey Naruto are you the real one or just another clone" Tenten called out as she walked up with Choji in tow.

"Yea I am the real one Tenten I am glad to see you Two are okay are there anymore Leaf ninja around?" Naruto asked. Tenten Nodded "yes your clones found 2 medic ninja and 5 genin all of whom are injured but can still fight." Naruto smiled and started walking toward the area where all the injured and combat ready Leaf ninja were gathering. The academy students were taken to where the civilians were located and left there under heavy guard. Iruka was carried over to the medical area to be checked out.

There was a chance the injury wasn't as bad as Iruka said it was and he would make a full recovery. "do you know who is in charge Tenten?" Naruto asked. "Kakashi sensei said that you were in charge from now on and that we were to obey you without argument. Anyone who did would be guilty of insubordination and charged as is." Naruto stopped in his tracks in shock "what why me?" He asked

"I don't know anything about being a leader yet." Choji started laughing for a moment. "Kakashi sensei told everyone when they arrived that you were in charge and that you would take all of us to a safe place but other than that he hasn't said a word he just lays there waiting until he dies. The medic ninja did what they could but his injuries are to extensive he wont last much longer." Naruto nodded.

"what is the total Civilian count and who are the other Leaf ninja that were saved?" Tenten looked Pensive for a moment. "We currently have 239 Civilians 71 academy students including the ones you just brought in. Nice work finding them by the way. 7 Genin including you me and Choji. 3 Chunnin and 1 injured Jounin who is currently unconscious then we have the fatally injured ones including your sensei who aren't expected to live much longer."

Just then a group of shadow clones passed by with numerous scrolls including one that Naruto recognized as the forbidden scroll. The others carried what could only be clan scrolls from each of the major clans like Hyuuga, Nara, Akimichi, and Yamanaka to name a few. Naruto looked at Tenten in confusion. "we took a moment to decide what was important and one the major ones was getting all of the family scrolls so Choji and I gathered up what clones that were available then sent them to get them with some help from the various clan survivors.

Of course we couldn't let them go by themselves it was a job for the clones and they understood." Naruto was surprised at the tactic but in retrospect shouldn't have been. " I see and what is the clan survivor count for the clans." Tenten frowned. "we don't have an exact number yet but the total stands right now as 2 main branch Hyuuga and 10 branch family Hyuugas Neji is one of them by the way. He Is currently on top of the wall keeping a lookout for the enemy.

We have 5 Nara's 3 Akimichi's 4 Yamanaka's 2 Saratobi's one of which is Konohamaru I saw him with you as I was walking up. The other is his father who is the injured Jounin I was telling you about. they will be delighted to see each other." Naruto smiled happily for his friend. Then motioned for Tenten to continue. "we also have 5 Aburame and 5 Inuzuka all of whom still have their Kikai hives and Clan dogs respectively."

Tenten then fell silent "Tell the Aburame that I found Shino dead and where they can find him so that they can dispose of his body before the enemy finds him and takes him to be dissected." and replied. "they already know where he is and have disposed of him as well as all of the other dead leaf ninja their kikai find. Naruto winced ouch I don't envy them their task."

Tenten nodded in response. "it's a gruesome task but its one that needs to be done." just then a shadow clone landed nearby. "We finished combing the village and surrounding areas for survivors and have found no others that live. We checked the shelters as well but found them either full or dead bodies or empty. For better or worse your group was the last to arrive boss."

The shadow clone reported. Naruto nodded in reply then turned to Tenten. "Tenten can you seal the memorial stone into a scroll?" he asked. Tenten blinked then thought for a moment then looked at him. "it can be done but why?" she asked. "I am taking all of the survivors to whirlpool. I have family there and they will take us in. I don't intend to stay here longer than is absolutely necessary. Once the survivors are healed up enough to travel and the supplies are fully gathered we will leave."

Tenten looked at him for a moment. "I didn't know you had family I thought you were an orphan." Naruto smiled wryly "it's a long story one that I will tell you and the others that are curious to know later on right now we need to focus on more important matters" Naruto then walked into the tent that had been set up for the surviving Ninjas. Tenten watched him go then turned in the direction of Training ground 7 and took off.

17 hours later with no more survivors being brought in and the supplies having been gathered up. The small group of 327 Leaf Ninja and Civilians moved out. Against all odds Kakashi was still alive despite his injuries. He lay on his back in one of the wagons with the rest of the wounded. Iruka had put the smaller kids in the wagons With the civilians who couldn't walk.

Naruto was in the middle of the convoy so that he could respond to an attack in either direction within moments. Tenten was in the rear with Neji helping to protect their backs. Choji and Hinata were in front with one of Naruto's shadow clones leading the way to whirlpool. In one of the Wagons was every clan and Jutsu scroll that could be salvaged.

It was heavily guarded by Konohamaru's father and 2 of the remaining Chunnin. Naruto had made sure to plant explosive notes on every building in Konoha. He had plastered the Hokage monument with explosive notes as well. Naruto didn't waste a single one he had Neji and Hinata help him place them in strategic places to ensure maximum destruction he didn't intend to let anyone take over the now abandoned shinobi village.

The notes were on a time delay from the moment the last leaf ninja left the village. Naruto wanted to get the group as far away as possible and he drove them hard. 2 hours later they started to hear the sounds of distant explosions coming from the direction of Konoha. They stood in place for over 3 hours listening to the explosions until they faded. The shadow clones Naruto had left behind to make sure that there was maximum destruction dispelled themselves and sent the information straight to Naruto who was happy that no buildings remained and the Hokage monument was completely destroyed.

There was no sign that there had ever been faces on them. Naruto had explained his decision to the others before they left. Some had not wanted to blow up the village but Naruto was adamant that no buildings would be left standing for an enemy to take cover in. Naruto had shadow clones wiping out their trail as they traveled southwest in the direction of wave country.

Whirlpool was close to wave country so that meant they could pick up any supplies they needed in Wave. It took a week to reach wave. There was no sign of pursuit from either the sound or sand and that had the ninja nervous. Naruto dared not send a patrol back to the village lest they be found and killed. He had to few ninja under his command anyway.

Naruto, Neji, and Tenten had all been promoted to Chunnin. They had all fought in the battle against the Sand and sound ninja. That had earned them the promotions. Their supplies were in good shape so they continued past the bridge without taking the time to actually read the sign. If they had it would have had Naruto crowing and Kakashi eye smiling.

As they traveled they come across other ninja mostly missing nin that were dispatched easily and their heads sealed so that the bounty on them could be collected. The first whirlpool ninja they encountered was a Jounin and his Genin team. It was Hinata who sensed them first. She signaled Naruto who was in the back of the convoy speaking with Neji in regards to the next days escort position. Once Naruto saw the signal he raced to the front and joined Hinata, Choji and Sarutobi Rosin who had finally recovered from his wounds 2 days ago and had rejoined the escort force.

Kakashi who was still injured was recovering from his wounds was expected to survive and would be combat ready in 3 months provided he got better hospital care. The 4 whirlpool ninja landed a short distance away. Naruto immediately recognized one of them as his uncle. "Hello Uncle Keanu." Uzumaki Keanu was surprised to see his nephew and what looked like hundreds of civilians some of whom he recognized from Konoha

"Naruto mind telling me what is going on and why are all these Civilians are here?" he asked. His genin seeing that there was no threat relaxed. Naruto grimaced. "we were attacked during the Chunnin exam finals by the sand and sound villages. Konoha has fallen. The people you see behind me are all that is left of that village."

Uzumaki Keanu was shocked. "we had heard that there was a battle but we hadn't realized that the Leaf village had fallen." he remarked. Naruto looked behind him for a moment then turned back to his uncle. "Uncle the reason I brought these people all this way is that I was hoping to seek sanctuary inside whirlpools borders. Before taking a team and heading out to find the remaining survivors that were not policed up by leaf forces before we left the village.

My group is the largest but consists mainly of Academy students and civilians. I have wounded that need medical treatment from better trained medical personnel then the two Medic nins that I have left." after taking a moment to let the news sink in Keanu nodded. "you and your group will be welcomed Naruto."

he then turned to his genin. "alright you three I want you to head back to the village and tell them what has happened. Tell them to prepare for the arrival of some 300 Leaf Civilians and escorting Leaf Ninja. don't forget to tell them about the wounded as well and then ask for a medical team to be sent out to help with the wounded. He then turned back to Naruto.

"How many critically wounded do you have?" he asked "3 including my sensei they need medical help soon or they will not last much longer." Naruto responded as the 3 genin jumped into the trees and were gone off in the direction of Whirlpool village. "Keanu created 3 water clones and had them gather up the critically wounded with the help of Hinata and Choji.

"I will go on ahead with the wounded that need medical attention to the village and get them proper medical care. Just continue along this road until you reach the fork remember to take the middle on not the side ones." Keanu explained. Naruto nodded his understanding "right I will see you in a few hours" Naruto turned to Neji who had since joined them from the rear of the convoy.

"Alright lets get everyone back in place and get moving the sooner we are inside the whirlpool village the better I will feel."naruto b arked "Naruto who was that man and why did you call him uncle?" Tenten wanted to know.

"He is my uncle on my moms side. I met him when the third Hokage took me to whirlpool to meet them was when I was nine years old." Naruto explained. "what other family do you have besides him" Choji asked. Naruto smiled wryly "I have a Grandfather, 3 uncles including Uncle Keanu, 4 aunts, and more cousins than I care to count." he replied.

Tenten and Choji were amazed. Hinata was not as she had accompanied her Father and the Hokage when they had gone there on business and had found out about his family the same time he had. At that point Naruto hear the signal from the rear of the convoy that said that everyone was ready to move out once more. Naruto then did an about face and started walking down the road in the direction of Whirlpool village.
