"im leaving..." said a spikey blond haired kid. Tsunade stared at him in shock "What do you mean you're leaving you just got back!!"

"This village.... its become too much for me to handle." said naruto solemnly "between the hatred i get from some of the older villagers and my rivalries with so many people, throw in a demon fox's mind telling you things you dont want to hear... its too much so im leaving."

"why did you come to tell me." said the sage "do you think im just gonna just sit here and let you run away?"

"thats what i came here to ask" the young boy looked down "please oba-chan don't send people after me, i promise ill come back someday but i need to get away.

"how long are you leaving for" tsunade said looking upset.

"I don't know i really dont know, a year mabye two it depends on how i feel and if i can subdue this damn fox." he said.

"all right...." tsunade thought 'im gonna regret this' "you can go but take tonight to pack and get ready"

"Thank you very much oba-chan" he gave her a hug and went to his apartment. he packed about a weeks worth of clothes 'i can always find a river or lake to wash them in' he packed lots and lots of ramen (the instant kind) enough kunais and shurikens to last a while and of course his forehead protector.

later he found himself at the ichiraku ramen stand having the last few bowls for a while.... err mabye not so few about 20 or so. "the ramen was especially good today" the yellow haired boy licked his lips and reached for his money but the ramen cook said "its on the house, think of it as a parting gift." naruto smiled "thank you" as he walked back to the apartment in traditional hands behind his head style, hinata came to him "na..naruto-kun..." she said timidly "huh... oh hey hinata!" naruto said cheerfully

"um... i... I heard that you were leaving... and i wanted to say goodbye" with that she gave him a hug and started crying lightly "im going to miss you naruto-kun". the pale eyed girl said.

"im gonna miss everyone... ive never had friends before and now i have people that are going to miss me, it kinda feels good" he smiled as she detached herself and started to leave "Hey hinata-chan!!" naruto said loudly "y-ye-yes?" he gave her the thumbs-up good guy pose and said "you have to make sure that you and everyone else gets stronger so i can have a challenge when i get back kay?"

"okay" she smiled he had talked to her and trusted her with a big task she blushed and said her goodbyes then left.

The sun rose and naruto left without a trace, tsunade kept to her word and did not give orders to follow him.
