Chapter 1

Naruto had been having a good day or at least he had been until he was knocked out, tied up, and now found himself in front of the gates of the hidden leaf. Gates he had sworn never to willingly pass through ever again. Yet here he was getting ready to have to break that oath all because of the man in front of him.

"Alright, Kid I'll give you one of two options. Now as I can't be dragging you into and through the village tied up like a wild beast fighting me at every turn your first option is that I untie you and walk through the village under your own control. Your second option is I treat you like the wild animal you've been acting like and throw you in a sack and take you in by force. What's it going to be kid" Jiraiya asked

"Give me back what belongs to me and I'll go in willingly," Naruto said having no intention of doing so.

"Nice try kid, the moment you have your stuff and are free you'll bolt on me and we both know it. So choose" Jiraiya ordered as he pulled out a sack to show he was serious.

Growling Naruto did the only he could and spit at Jiraiya in defiance.

Signing, Jiraiya did as he said and threw Naruto into the sack tied it and tossed it over his shoulder with him moving as fast as possible through the village.

As Jiraiya moved at what Naruto figured was the man's top speed, Naruto's mind was trying to work on a means of escape until he heard a knock and a few muffled voices before he was dumped onto a coffee table that Naruto instantly recognized. Looking up he noticed several women that he recognized that were all sitting frozen in shock. Well, all but the redhead that dropped the tray of snacks and drinks she was had been carrying as her hands covered her mouth with tears quickly forming.

"Naruto" Naruto heard the red-headed woman question as if just seeing him was some sort of cruel dream and he was going to disappear the moment she accepted otherwise.

'Right like I believe that. Where the hell was this caring attitude two years ago' Naruto thought venomously as he noticed the kunai that was on the table to his side.

Smiling a cruel smirk Naruto quickly rolled to the kunai and covered it in his chakra as he quickly cut through the ropes binding him with a flick of his wrist. Once his bonds were cut Naruto leaned back on just his hands before he launched himself forward as his feet crashed right in-between the stunned toad sages legs due to him being too shocked to move.

'That should keep him out of commission. Can't have him getting in my way. After all, even with the anti-chakra suppressant blood seals kaa-san put on me chakra suppressant seals still work for a short time before they are finally undone. Though I need to keep them from finding that out or it could spell for some trouble' Naruto thought as he sent a chakra enhanced elbow behind him into kushina's gut sending her flying back as she hadn't been anticipating that due to being focused solely on getting Naruto into a bear hug and pleading for his forgiveness.

Once he felt kushina was no longer in connection to his elbow Naruto rushed forwarded snagging all three scrolls that Jiraiya had on his belt figuring that one of them had to hold his gear as he bolted out the front door.

As Naruto ran he was careful to cover his scent as he was thanking Kami that the village hadn't changed too much from two years ago. Soon he reached the abandon training ground 1 and had rushed into the forest until he reached a cave. When he got to the back of the cave he scaled it to the top where there was a ledge that had a hole not far from it. Quickly moving the rocks that were in front of the hole to hide it Naruto slid in and put the rocks back behind him before he slid slightly further until he hit the smoothly waxed stone slid down his secret passage to the underground cave.

'Wow, I wasn't expecting the waxing I put on the stone to still be good. Oh well, at least I'm safe for now thanks to this cave having a chakra network of its own so no sensor nins will be able to detect my chakra and with how I covered my scent and tracks there's no way in hell any of the Inuzuka clan can follow. Now I just have to lay low until the heat dies down, good thing this place has a good food source' Naruto thought as he looked around his hideaway that he hadn't set his eyes on in over two years.

The underground cave was actually a fairly big area. For lighting, there were holes here or there in the roof that let light in. When the light hit the crystals around each hole the crystals reflected the light to light the entire cave. At night when the moonlight did the same, it made the entire cave look like it was made of aw enchanting crystals. Next was a waterfall on the other side of the cave that feeds the small river that flowed into the lake off to the left side of the cave. That entire floor of the cave was covered in grass with the exception of the small roughly 20-foot circle of dirt in front of the small cabin Naruto had painstakingly built by hand. Off to the left side of the cabin which was also against the right side of the cave were several trees and other plant life that had been there when Naruto found the cave.

"Time for some rest," Naruto said as he walked to the cabin and walked in.

Back with Jiraiya and the others

Everyone was trying to console the emotional Kushina and mentally cursing themselves for not having one of them chase after Naruto and let their concern for kushina's well being drive them to check on her instead.

Finally giving in to her anger Tsunade locked her sights on her old teammate that was sitting on a chair, elbows on his knees, fingers laced together and held in front of his mouth with his eyebrows crashing together in confusion.

"WHAT THE HELL JIRAIYA! WHY DIDN'T YOU SEAL OFF HIS CHAKRA IF YOU KNEW HE WAS THAT RESISTANT TO THE IDEA OF BEING BACK HERE. OR BETTER YET HOW THE HELL IS HE ALREADY AT THAT LEVEL OF SKILL" Tsunade raged getting ready to beat him within a centimeter of his death.

"I did," Jiraiya said simply with his eyebrows scrunching together even more as everyone froze.

"W….what" Mikoto Uchiha asked in shock

"I said I did. The first thing I did after I knocked him out was throw every single chakra suppressant seal I knew how to perform on him and then tie him up for good measure. After all, he has been gone for two years and always had that unnervingly natural skill for vanishing, and that was before he was able to run away two years ago with zero training in the shinobi arts. I can only imagine what skills he might have now as it's obvious to me now that evening without chakra he could be a dangerous opponent with how unpredictable he clearly is. I mean I've never once seen his fighting style, from the moment he dropped me his entire stance and muscle tension screamed that what he did to kushina would be impossible to pull off yet he did. It was the last move anyone would anticipate thinking it impossible with how he had his body tensed and positioned. To make matters worse I can't figure out how the hell he pulled it off on any of his seemingly impossible feats. The brat is too damn slippery for his own good" Jiraiya said stunning everyone silent

"I think that we might have just seen a small part of an entirely new fight style," Said Hikari Hyūga sister in law to the Hyūga clan head who looked almost identical to her sister.

"What makes you say that" Tsume Inuzuka asked

"His hands, the entire time he held his hands in a similar way to how the Hyūga do for our taijutsu. Only his fingers were spread and coiled back just enough to have them act like claws. It was like he was starting to wrap his fingers into a fist but stopped a fourth of the way, spread them and bent them back at the knuckles just enough to make his fingers act like claws" the Hyūga spoke making the others widen their eyes

"But he's only eleven years old. How could he have possibly thought of, made, and mastered a previously nonexistent fighting style? It takes most years to just make and perfect a style let alone master it once they've gotten all the kinks out but you're acting as if he's done that all in the two years he was gone when he had no prior training to use as a foundation" Tsunade said in shock

"I think that might be the least of our problems" Jiraiya began once he noticed Minato came in. "When I was removing the stuff he had on him I came across something rather alarming. Do you remember the notepad we found that seemingly had just random words written down" Jiraiya asked as he saw everyone nod as he got up and walked over to the radio and put something in.

"I don't think they were randomly written words," Jiraiya said as he hit a button and everyone was shocked at the rather fast pacing of the music

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh

I've been down in the dirt, lost for so long

And pushed around, beaten down

Got nothing left to lose, all hope is gone

Got buried deep underground

Oh, can you see me?

Oh, can you hear me?

Can you hear me screaming for you?

I'm afraid I'm gonna die down here

I can't save, I can't save myself

Get me out, get me out of Hell

I'm suffocating waiting for you

Cause the angels don't fly down here

I need you because no one else

Can get me out, get me out of Hell?

I can't trust anyone, all that I got

Is another scarred, broken heart

I've been stabbed in the back, the bleeding won't stop

Just another cut in the dark

Oh, can you see me?

Oh, can you hear me?

Can you hear me screaming for you?

I'm afraid I'm gonna die down here

I can't save, I can't save myself

Get me out, get me out of Hell

I'm suffocating waiting for you

Cause the angels don't fly down here

I need you because no one else

Can get me out, get me out of Hell?

Can you hear me screaming for you?

I'm afraid I'm gonna die down here

I can't save, I can't save myself

Get me out, get me out

Get me out of Hell

I'm suffocating waiting for you

Cause the angels don't fly down here

I need you because no one else

Can get me out, get me out of Hell?

Can you hear me?

Can you see me?

I can feel you now

Get me out, get me out of Hell

Can you hear me screaming for you?

I'm afraid I'm gonna die down here

I need you because no one else

Can get me out, get me out of Hell?

When the song ended Jiraiya could hear the weeping of Kushina and saw that Minato look like the slightest of breezes could shatter him.

"There's one more you need to hear before you get just how bad you three hurt him," Jiraiya said as he hit the next song that had a similar pacing and heavy beat to it

There's a fire burning inside me

Cold steel calls out my name

Tempted to give in to the rage

Torn apart by this affliction

Locked up inside myself

This life is much too young to fade.

I ran away from the pain

Always breaking down inside

Incomplete

But now I see

This won't be the end of me

The world around me

Sells an empty promise

They build you up just to watch you fall

It's time to meet this face to face

I ran away from the pain

Always breaking down inside

Incomplete

But now I see

This won't be the end of me

Black and white melt into gray

Till every truth is stripped away

When nothing's wrong nothing's ok

Everyone has been betrayed

I ran away from the pain

Always breaking down inside

Incomplete

But now I see

This won't be the end of me

I ran away from the pain

Always breaking down inside

Incomplete

But now I see

This won't be the end of me

When the song ended Jiraiya look at the group that looked like they had to face a bijuu without any chakra.

"Do you know was the names of those songs were?" Jiraiya asked only to see them slight move their heads due to them not trusting their voices.

"Out of hell, and End of me" (by skillet and Ashes remain) Jiraiya spoke as Kushina's eyes bulged

"B...But those were phrases in that notebook we found" Kushina said in disbelief.

"There's got to be at least one Happy song on that thing," Minato said in a panic as he rushed forward and started scrolling through song names. "Here we go, Hero, that's got to be a good one," Minato said as he was about to hit play when Jiraiya caught his hand

"That one has a deceiving title, the entire song is about needing and wanting a hero to come until they realize they will have to be that Hero" Jiraiya said as he let go of Minato's hand when they heard someone drop at the entryway of the living room only to see Naruko, Naruto's twin sister that looked like his female version only without whisker marks

"Tell me Minato, do you really think he wants to even see any of you again. Odds are he slipped into one of his hiding spots and will wait for the heat of him being seen running through the village without a disguise of any kind to cool off. Once that happens he'll walk right out the front gate. To make matters worse he now not only has the skills of a shinobi to degrees we don't know but he also has all the knowledge of civilian life. Though if what I saw him do before I knocked him out is any indication then he's certainly at high gennin level with some aspect beyond that and some blow it. It's safe to say we could be royally screwed on this. So I may not have said it when he first ran away but you and you family's mistreatment of him have turned him into the biggest threat this village has ever seen.

He has the power of the Kyuubi, the skill of the shinobi, knowledge of the civilians, and has been the only known person to be able to avoid being captured by the entire Anbu, and jonin forces of the village with just civilian skill alone. He might not have the skill of the higher ranking shinobi but that hardly matters with his skill sets because even the best shinobi can be caught off guard and Naruto has the perfect means to do so right now.

So to be completely honest even with the skills I've seen from him, and this is assuming that's the max he has right now which I highly doubt, you've made your son an even more dangerous enemy than Orochimaru. If we can't find a way to convince him to at least not wipe the village from the pages of history or if he changes his objective from escape to attack between now and when, not if, when he escapes the village then we're fucked so you better pray to kami that we can or were done for" Jiraiya raged as he was beginning to leave

"Then why the hell did you bring him back before he agreed to not wanting us all dead when he was that dangerous to the village" Tsunade raged making Jiraiya freeze in his spot and only slight turn his head to them.

"Because the Hokage ordered I do so the moment Naruto ran away and just like I had warned him about Naruto eventually having enough and finding a way to get away my warning of it being a bad idea to do so before he was ready fell on deaf ears. So when I did find him to bring him home I did just that hoping to kami that his mother had at least been better to him in secret than his father and sister so she may stand a better chance at having him let her earn his forgiveness. Sadly it appears I was wrong about that as it is now clear that all three of them are equally guilty and will have to work equally hard to get him to let them EARN his forgiveness" Jiraiya spat out like the words were poison.

Back with Naruto

Naruto was halfway to his cabin when he heard someone laughing as they slid down the entryway. Thinking quickly Naruto figured if they aren't scared of what might be at the end of the entryway then they had been here before and more than likely were using his cabin which meant if he didn't want to get caught then he would have to hide somewhere else.

With that thought in mind, Naruto leaped into the closest tree and did a henged into a caterpillar.

Moments later a girl appeared out of the entryway

The girl had jet black hair that was so long it reached hair butt. She also had her bangs styled like the known leader of the rebellion in the hidden mist Mei Terumi with two long bangs crossing under h chin, and one over her right eye. However, unlike Mei Terumi, this girl has pigtails that were held an inch away from her head with medical tape instead of a top not. She also had what Naruto clearly saw were white eyes that held no pupil and unless you were paying close attention you would have missed the faintest tint of red that colored her seemingly pure white eyes. Last was that there was a light blue strip of hair that ran in the middle of her longer bangs from the tip it went up to the top of her head, back down the other side to the opposite bangs tip with a small amount coloring the bottom part of the bang covering her right eye. The strip on the bang covering her right eye also connected the longer strip that framed her face.

For clothes, the girl wore a dress similar to that of Mei Terumi. However, this girl had it so that instead of a strapless dress she had it so her's had two straps one-inch straps and a v cut with what looks to be mesh armor at the bottom part of the v. Around her abdomen was a red obi much like how the legendary Tsunade had to hold her kimono-like shirt she wore. The girl also had red arm warmers that were held tightly against her arms like a second skin that ran from her wrists to a fourth of the way from her shoulders. The from the waist down her dress cut at an angle so that her entire right leg was exposed as well as showing that under her dress she was wearing red shorts that reached to mid-thigh. Last was her open toed ninja sandals that reached all the way up to her knees.

Naruto watched her for an opening to end her life as to avoid anyone being able to discover his hideout when he was surprised to see she set down her bag and began pulling out different meats and a few loaves of bread. Yet he could care less about that and remained, patiently waiting for the right time to attack when his body froze at the next sight he saw.

No sooner had she pulled the food out than a small fox that was barely old enough to be away from its mother came running up to her and leaped into her arms.

Laughing the girl pet the small fox before she began to break small pieces of food off and feed them to the small fox.

"If only Naruto-kun where here, I'm sure he'd love you just as much as I do. I always did see him sneaking food to the foxes around the village. I just wish I had had the nerve to have approached him before he ran away. Maybe then we could have at least been friends. Then again maybe it's for the best, this damn village did nothing but mistreat him and that asshole of a family of his, were only too eager to add to his suffering, especially that slut of a sister of his" the girl said through clenched teeth and a few tears streaming down her face.

Sensing the girl's current state of emotions, the fox attempted to make her feel better by licking her face.

Laughing the girl pet the fox one more time before she pulled out kunai holster that had a demon wind shuriken folded and attached to the face of the kunai holster.

"Come on let's get some training in," the girl said with a small smile as she strapped the ninja gear onto the foxes back.

Once that was done she pick the fox up and set it on her shoulder as she walked out into the center of the clearing. Once there Naruto's eyes bulged as he watched the girl perform the very same taijutsu that he had made and the fox used it's tail to pull the kunai out using the looped end before it would spin it and throw it of its tail and into a tree. Yet what was even more shocking was when the fox used its tail to grab, unfold, spin, and throw the demon wind shuriken with surprising force for an average fox.

After a few hours had passed the girl left and decided to take the fox with her after what appeared to be a small internal struggle.

"*Sigh* Looks like I'll have to stick around now if I want answers that is," Naruto said before he began his slow trek back to the hell of a home he had been trying so hard to avoid returning to for a few years now.
