Naruto the 4th Reborn

Chapter 30: Departure

Naruto walked, he walked and walked after telling Tsunade to give him some air to take in all she told him.

He was walking to where he didn't know but he did know his entire thought process of the village was turned upside down.

He wondered just how could a village so peaceful do that to a man no less one of their most loyal shinobi. Itachi was a man Naruto hated but now, he didn't know what to think. For once in his life Naruto didn't know what to feel or do or anything.

'Naruto,' Kurama called but got no response 'Naruto!' The fox roared and Naruto nearly tripped himself in surprise

'What do you want Kurama?' Naruto asked but he knew the answer

'Snap out of it, I know you think your thought process is destroyed but this is what our world is. If I could describe this world in one word I would greed, you know why? Because none of you humans ever care at all. If you think Itachi's bad then remember how they treated you earlier in your life' The fox paused letting his words sink in for a few moments

'Now just think about that happening to eight other people.' Naruto winced at the thought of having anyone go through the glares and pain of loneliness 'Konoha is probably the nicest out of the bunch so you got lucky, the other villages are probably worse so just get over it.'

'I get it but its just that, if that's what they do to their most loyal shinobi then what about anyone else? Its just wrong!' Naruto roared

'Never said it was right just said you had to deal with it, Naruto I'll be honest with you, Your one of the few humans in years I've actually liked enough to talk with, im sure that one day when you die im gonna be sealed again and theres nothing I can do. Just understand that this is our world and just live with it.'

Naruto sat down on a bench and close his eyes to enter his mindscape to face Kurama instead of doing everything mentally up to this point

'Kurama is it not possible everyone can live happily?' Naruto asked

'Its possible but I doubt it would ever happen, Naruto to make everyone happy your going to have to unify all the nations first you would have to find some way to convince all the Kage to forgo all their past grudges and just forgive each other which is near impossible without counting the fact theres no way you can even gather all five kage, no offence but your politically powerless kid besides being the jinchuuriki of me theres nothing you can have any weigh in politically.'

'If somehow you do get all the kage to forgive eachother you have to make all the shinobi under them or atleast a majority of the shinobi under each nation to forgive eachother which is just impossible. I seriously don't know how you would do it. There is also the fact that probably after a few decades someone's gonna do something to upset someone and the entire feud's gonna start again.'

'Just give me some time.' Naruto cut off the link and just walked while Kurama was surprised that his jinchuuriki actually cut the link when he had never done it before.

Naruto got up walked to his apartment and just went and laid on his bed not even acknowleding the sand siblings in his house, thinking he thought of ways to try and get peace around the world but he couldn't find a single way so he just gave up. He didn't think about any of this nonsense and just rested leaving his problems to his futureself.

The next day

Today was the day he left but he needed to do something, He went to talk to the one person who could help him, The Sandaime.

He found the old man at the Sarutobi compound after entering through the frontgate and finding the clan head's house.

"So Naruto what did you come here to talk about with this old man which is me?" Sarutobi asked after pouring a cup of tea for himself and handing his surrogate grandson a cup aswell.

"Jiji, please tell me the dark side of the world." Sarutobi's eyebrow rose slightly "I mean uh tell me all the heinous acts of the Leaf Village."

"Naruto I do not think you should know of those things at an early age." Sarutobi spoke as he would a Hokage

"Jiji, tell me everything. I already know about Itachi since baa-chan told me and I need to understand everything please tell me?" Sarutobi sighed knowing the blond would go elsewhere if he denied the information so he told many of the acts Konoha had done but not all and they just there for two long hours with Sarutobi telling the blond everything from Orochimaru's experiments and also the Hyuuga branch seal and others but he also told reasons why they had to happen but he knew they were still immoral

"So this is just our village?" Sarutobi nodded and the blond took a deep breath "Jiji thanks for telling me honestly and I guess I understand but its going to take me a while to process all of that."

"Your welcome and if you need anything just tell Tsunade and she'll ask me if its really something only I would know." Naruto nodded knowing why the Sandaime knew since if he knew all these secrets he would know a few more.

"Well cya im going off!" Naruto said before running off while Sarutobi used his crutches to get up but halfway through getting up Naruto came running back in and hugged him goodbye leaving a smile on the old shinobi's face.

Naruto reestablished the link with Kurama and apologized just before leaving his house he wasn't happy still about the stuff he learned but he could deal with it for now. So he ran to the front gate of Konoha and saw Jiraiya there waiting with an angry look on his face while Tsunade stood next to Shizune with the latter talking to Sakura and there was also the sand siblings but his friends werent there since he had already said goodbye to them.

"So uh I don't really know what to say but I promise I'll get stronger when I come back and I'll be a supercool ninja ready to be Hokage!" He exclaimed cheefully

"Um I hope I get to see you back soon, heard from Shizune you might get to combe back early." Sakura said with a few tears

"Come visit Sand sometime on your trip or she might get mad." Kankuro gestured to his girlfriend finding out a few days earlier

"I shall miss you Naruto Uzumaki, my friend." Gaara said goodbye to his first friend and did an act no knew he could do by hugging the blond

And last of all Temari hugged him after Gaara stopped and kissed him on the lips and Naruto just melted into it, her lips were soft and tender. He didn't know if she had good lips or all girls lips were this good or it was hormones or whatever he just knew it was amazing and knew he was going to do it again.

The kiss did end just as abruptly as it ended leaving both of them in blushing messes.

"You b-better come to Sand soon." Temari said before averting her gaze

Naruto turned to Tsunade and Shizune

"Well I guess this is it Tsunade baa-chan and Shizune nee-chan. I'll see you soon." He said managing his embarrasment

He then turned to Jiraiya and started walking off with him before turning around and giving one last look to Konoha.
