Authors Note: Welcome to my concept story? It was an interesting idea that I got and decided to write about it. It's a Naruto gets banished story but Naruto in the time skip ends up becoming a pirate "king". In my story, naval forces exist. For Naruto to be close to his naval forces, I moved Konoha to the coast.

CHAPTER ONE

Naruto grunted in pain, the body he was carrying making a shot of pain shoot from his chest to all over his body. He again grunted in pain, the small hole in his chest clearly visible. It was bigger but the fox inside of him was taking care of that. He turned his head to the side, making sure that that Sasuke was still unconscious. He suspected he would be unconscious for the entire trip.

'Naruto! Please…please bring back Sasuke-kun to me…please'

The way Sakura's voice strained at the end made him frown. It was as if she was a broken little girl. He understood why she was like that, her crush deserted the village, confirming that he didn't care about anyone in Konoha, including Sakura. Naruto's frown turned into a smile at the prospect of Sakura congratulating him, possibly her crush of Sasuke could instead switch to himself.

He didn't know how long he was walking for, he was lost in his thoughts for most of the trip but out in the distance, he could see the imposing gates of Konoha. The closer he got the more he could make out a crowd formed at the entrance. No doubt his toad messenger had gotten to baa-chan.

Naruto eyed the two Chunin who were seated at the entrance. Both men gave Naruto a shocked look as if he wouldn't be able to complete the retrieval mission. Naruto ignored the two men and may his way past the entrance. The crowd surrounded the gate while a pink-haired girl stood in the middle, waiting for Naruto to get closer. He stopped and gently placed the unconscious Uchiha down making sure not to hurt him further than he already had.

"I did it, Sakura-chan! I brought him ba-"

A fist quickly hit Naruto's head making the blond-haired boy collapsed onto the ground. He looked up in confusion at Sakura. Why had she hit him? He fulfilled her promise. The girl looked at him with eyes filled with rage.

"Why did you almost kill him, Naruto-baka! I told you to bring him back not kill him!" The pink-haired girl screamed at him. He tilted his head in confusion…Sasuke had initiated the fight. He only defended himself but he brought back Sasuke.

"I tried to talk to him Sakura…he wouldn't listen."

"I bet those are lies! My mother was right all along. You are a demon."

That statement froze Naruto…to hear his crush calling him was the village called him for most of his life truly heart him. Naruto looked at the girl, sadness filling his eyes. "I'm sorry, Sakura…I tried to talk to him, to get him to come back but he wouldn't listen."

"Stop lying demon!" She merely yelled back. The girl brought her fist back intending to hit Naruto again only a hand to swiftly wrapped around Sakura's wrist. The girl quickly turned her head, ready to chew out whoever stopped her. Finally taking in the appearance of the person, Sakura paled.

"That's enough, Sakura. You will not hurt your teammate when he fulfilled the promise you gave him." Tsunade's authoritative voice ringed out. Sakura scowled. "But the demo-" She was swiftly cut off by the mere look that the Hokage had given her. Sending the woman another scowl, the pink-haired girl walked away.

"Kakashi, take your traitorous student to the hospital. I'll take Naruto."

"Hai, Hokage-sama," Responded a silver-haired man with gravity-defying hair. His mask a signature for the Jonin. When the man picked up Sasuke he gave Naruto a disappointed gaze. The man quickly disappeared. Tsunade walked towards the injured and battered boy with a frown.

"How bad?"

"I don't know…the Kyubi healed most of it," He replied, scratching his head. Tsunade merely nodded. She crouched, finally noticing the small hole in his chest. Seeing this, the woman growled. Naruto shook his head at the woman. "Don't worry baa-chan, a Chidori wouldn't stop me that easily," Naruto replied with a chuckle that slightly pained him. Hearing that, Tsunade growled even louder.

"He shoved a Chidori through your chest?"

Naruto looked away not answering Tsunade's question. Tsunade brought an up under Naruto's knees and one behind his back. She gently lifted the boy bridal style and started making her way towards the hospital. Naruto gently laid his head on the woman's left breast. He heard Tsunade's heartbeat, he focused on that. His vision and hearing slowly faded out throwing Naruto into the realm of unconsciousness.

Land of Fire – Konoha – Hospital

Naruto awoke with a groan escaping his lips. He felt as if he was covered in bandages from head to toe, he could feel the cloth wrapping around his body. Several of the machines must have sent an alert to Tsunade who only after a few seconds of waking up, the blond-haired woman entered the room with Shizune.

"Naruto…" Shizune whispered. Her eyes were wide in shock at the condition that Naruto was in. Tsunade looked at the boy in sympathy, she knew what was going to happen to the blond. Danzo and the two other elders had informed her of their intentions. They had planned to banish Naruto…she didn't agree with this, she told them that as Hokage she could simply veto the decision by the elders. Danzo actually smiled at her…that damn triumphant smile.

He said all he would need is to bring up the issue to a vote for both councils to decide and if the Hokage vetoed the issue then they would simply vote to rescind the veto. Her hands were tied. She didn't want to tell the Naruto about the decision, she wanted Naruto to have one last happy moment with the both of them before the village that he protected during the Chunin Exams betrayed him.

"Baa-chan, Shizune-nee-chan!" Naruto shouted excitedly. Naruto gave the both of them a trademark grin. Shizune smiled at the boy while Tsunade gave Naruto a pained smile. Of course, the blond didn't catch the meaning behind her smile. Shizune sat down next to the boy and gave him another smile. "How are you feeling, Naruto?" Shizune asked. Naruto scratched his head, thinking.

"I'm just sore all over. The fox is probably gonna take care of that," Naruto replied. Shizune gave the boy a nod.

The three of them continued to talk for a few minutes before Tsunade had to inform the blond that the two of them had to go. Naruto gave Tsunade a sad look but it was quickly replaced with a smile and a nod. The two women left and Naruto laid there on his bed contemplating his future. Sasuke was back. Team 7 was probably going to be dissolved due to how toxic the team is. Sasuke doesn't like either Naruto or Sakura while Sakura thinks he was a demon. Naruto frowned at that thought, he knew that most of the civilians viewed him as a demon even most of the ninja but he would never have thought that Sakura would think that.

She had mentioned that her mother was telling her that he was a demon, Naruto again frowned. Sakura's mother was feeling her head with poison. His room door opening broke Naruto out of his thoughts. Naruto turned his head and saw Kakashi walk in with a disappointed look on his face. That man looked at Naruto and shook his head.

"How could you do this, Naruto?" The man asked disappointedly. Naruto looked at his sensei in confusion, seeing this, the silver-haired man continued. "You were to bring back Sasuke not almost kill him, Naruto. I would never have thought that you would try to kill a comrade," The man continued. An angry tone slowly making its way into his voice.

"Kakashi! I tried to talk to hi-" Naruto tried to get out before he was cut off. "You used the Rasengan on a teammate and a Konoha-nin. I know destructive that jutsu can be! You were aiming to kill him!" Tha man yelled at the blond. Naruto flinched at the tone that his sensei was using.

"You are no longer my student. You disgust me," Kakashi stated and walked out of the room. Naruto looked at the empty spot that the man was in, shocked. Kakashi hadn't even let him explain the situation. Sasuke had tried and used the Chidori jutsu that Kakashi taught him. A few minutes passed before his hospital room door opened again, this time it was Yamanaka Ino.

The blond-haired girl looked furious at Naruto. She quickly stomped her way to the edge of her bed and slapped him. "How could you hurt Sasuke-kun!" The girl screamed. Naruto rubbed his cheek which surely was a rosy red now.

"He wouldn't listen to me," Naruto replied calmly. Maybe she would believe him? "Stop lying, demon!" Ino screamed. Naruto flinched at the word she used. Ino, this time, raised her hand in a fist and punched Naruto where she had slapped him. Ino was weak but with all his injuries, Naruto felt the hit and the pain that accompanied it. He groaned at the pain.

"I hope you die you demon!" Ino screeched. Glaring at Naruto one last time, the girl left the room. Naruto rubbed his cheek while looking at his lap in sadness. For the next 15-20 minutes, most of Konoha 11 visited him to tell him that they were disgusted with him. All the Konoha 11 that had visited him called him a demon. There was only one person who had truly broken his heart.

Jiraiya stood in the middle of the hospital room with his arms crossed, a look of disappointment on his face. "How could you, Naruto? To nearly kill your own teammate?" The white-haired man shook his head. "I didn't teach you to kill comrades," Naruto looked at his beloved sensei with shock. He thought Jiraiya would be the only one to finally see his side of his story. Guess he was wrong. In a puff of smoke, Jiraiya brought out the toad summoning contract.

"I'm removing you from the toad summoning contract because of your disgraceful actions, Naruto," The old man stated. Naruto again looked at his sensei in shock. Jiraiya opened his scroll and in a few handsigns, his name written in blood slowly disappeared from the scroll. "I've had students in my life Naruto. You, by far, are the biggest disappointment," Jiraiya stated, leaving the room.

Naruto looked at his lap and silently cried. How could his own teammates and even his two senseis betray him like this? He had only done his job, to bring Sasuke back to the village. He had tried to talk him into coming back with him but the raven-haired Uchiha only shook his head, so he had to fight. The only people two even care about him now were baa-chan and Shizune-nee-chan.

A few hours passed of Naruto laying down in his hospital bed, an emotionless look on his face while he looked out the window. A puff of smoke appeared in the room. An ANBU member kneeled there with his head down.

"The council requests your presence, Uzumaki Naruto," The ANBU informed the boy. Naruto turned his head and nodded. The ANBU disappeared the same way as he appeared, in a puff of smoke. Naruto let out a sigh. Most likely the council wanted to know the details of the mission. He slowly got out of the bed, making sure to not overexert himself. Naruto got dressed in his usual orange jumpsuit, he tied the Konoha headband around his forehead and left the hospital room, making his way towards the council chambers inside the Hokage tower.

Council Room

The council was filled with every clan head and the civilian side of the council was also filled. The three elders of Konoha sat there proudly. Mitokado Homura, Utatane Koharu, and Shimura Danzo. At the head of the council table sat Senju Tsunade, Hokage of Konohagakure. She had dreaded this moment from the very moment that the elders informed her of their decision. Hopefully, Naruto would understand why she had to do this, she had no choice in the matter.

The council sat there in silence for a few minutes before the double doors of the council room opened. An orange-clad Naruto walked in with his lips in a tight line. Tsunade looked at the boy with sympathy while most of the council room looked at the boy in disgust and contempt.

"Uzumaki Naruto reporting."

"Uzumaki Naruto," The sickly sweet voice of Utatane Koharu wrang out throughout the room, "you were assigned to the Sasuke Retrieval Mission and was tasked to bring the Uchiha heir back to Konoha. While you have done that, the circumstances of the mission and your actions are of great concern."

"During your fight with Uchiha Sasuke, you attacked him. Seeing that you couldn't beat the Uchiha heir you resorted to using the nine-tailed fox," Mitokado Homura continued. Naruto looked at the old man in shock. That's not what happened.

"You knew of the risks of using the nine-tailed fox's power but yet…you used the power anyway to hurt the Uchiha heir in a fit of jealousy. You have become a danger to this village," Shimura Danzo stated. The young boy looked at three elders in shock. This story was a lie, the only person who could have told such a thing...'Sasuke'

"Wait a minute!" Tsunade shouted, "that's not what Naruto told me!" Danzo merely looked at the Hokage, shaking his head. "What he has told you were lies. Uchiha Sasuke told us the true version of the events that transpired at the Valley of the End."

"He's lying!" Naruto shouted. A pink-haired woman from the civilian side of the council stood up, a finger pointed at Naruto, "Shut up, demon! You're the one that's lying! Uchiha-sama would never lie to us!" The woman screamed from across the room. Naruto winced at the tone of the woman's voice.

"You have to believe me…" Naruto whispered. He looked at Tsunade but the woman merely looked away in defeat. All three elders smiled at the young. Koharu, with her sickly sweet voice, continued, "Due to your use of this and of your use of the nine-tail fox power during the Chunin exams. We have concluded that you are an immense danger to our village."

"Thus we have decided to banish you," Danzo continued. Naruto looked at the three in shock, his mouth agape. He looked around the council room to see if anyone would stick out for him but most of the members had smirks on their face. He turned his head and looked at Tsunade, hoping that she would come to his defense.

Tsunade looked at Naruto with a sad frown, "Genin Uzumaki Naruto. Shinobi #049284," Tsunade yelled out. Naruto's body stiffened. This was baa-chan's Hokage voice that he had come to learn. "Hai, Hokage-sama," Naruto replied in an emotionless voice. Tsunade flinched at the boy's voice but nonetheless continued on.

"You are to relinquish your Konoha headband. Seals will be placed on your hands so that you are not able to perform any jutsu while a seal will be placed on your tongue that will not allow you to tell anyone of Konoha's secrets," She bellowed out. Naruto nodded at the woman, a broken expression on his face.

"You will have twenty-four hours to pack and leave the village. You will have forty-eight hours to leave Konohagakure's borders. If you are still within Konohagakure in this time-frame, you will be executed," Tsunade finished. Naruto merely nodded.

"Your headband, civilian," Koharu said, a smug smirk on her face. Naruto reached behind his head and untied the one thing that he was proud of…not anymore. He threw the headband at the elders, the blue cloth and silver metal landing on the table. Koharu reached for and grabbed the headband, the same smug smirk on her face.

"Uzumaki Naruto. As stated, you will have twenty-four hours to leave Konoha and forty-eight hours to leave our borders. Do you understand?" Homura asked. Naruto nodded, "Hai," he replied. Danzo snapped his fingers and two ANBU appeared. "Take the boy to his apartment. Let him pack and escort him to the Konoha gate."

"Hai, Danzo-sama!" The two ANBU shouted.

The two ANBU gripped Naruto's biceps, shoving him outside the council room. Naruto allowed the two to drag him to his apartment. When he finally arrived, he entered the decrepit apartment that he had lived in since he was 5 years old. A gift from the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen. Naruto grabbed several sealing scrolls and a backpack and quickly packed what he needs. Ninja equipment, clothes, and food. He sealed up what he intended to seal and put whatever he intended to put in his backpack. Naruto stood with his back to the door. He viewed his room in sadness. This would be the last time that he would ever see it. He sighed before he exited the apartment.

Both ANBU stood there with their masks, looking at him. "Come demon," One of them said. Naruto thought the man had a sneer behind his mask but he couldn't be sure. The two masked ANBU gripped his biceps again and dragged him towards the Konoha gate.

Arriving there, Naruto saw the crowd that had formed. Most Jonin were there along with Konoha 11. He could see the white hair of Jiraiya and the silver hair of Kakashi. The looks on their faces were one of disappointed. Naruto looked away. He spotted Tsunade along with the village elders. Tsunade only looked at him in sadness.

The two ANBU brought him in front of the four and Danzo looked at him. He grabbed both of his hand and a burning sensation went up to Naruto's arms. He bit his lip, trying to keep the pain in. Two black seals appeared on the palm of his hands after a few seconds.

"Tongue," Danzo said. Naruto nodded and let the man see his tongue. Danzo brought his hand in front of the tongue. Naruto felt that same burning sensation he felt with his hands only on his tongue. After a few seconds, Danzo let his arm fall. Naruto predicted he now had a black seal on his tongue. The three elders looked at Naruto smugly while Tsunade looked at him with intense love and intense sadness. Naruto nodded his head at her, acknowledging it. Tsunade nodded in return.

"You are hereby banished from Konoha, Uzumaki Naruto," Danzo shouted. The crowd that surrounded him cheered loudly. Danzo ignored him but he had a small smile on his face, "You have forty-eight hours to leave our borders. If you do not adhere to our orders then you will be executed, do you understand?"

"Hai."

Danzo nodded and motioned to the gates. Naruto walked towards the gates and turned his head back to the crowd and Konoha 11. Most of the genin had disgusted and disappointed looks on their faces. Both Sakura and Ino had looks of murder. Jiraiya and Kakashi looked at their former student with disappointment. The crowd was cheering and sending insults his way, the world 'demon' being the most common one being used.

Naruto looked at Tsunade. The woman had tears streaming down her face. Naruto frowned. He never wanted to see a strong woman such as Senju Tsunade cry. Tsunade mouthed a silent 'I love you' at the young boy. Naruto gave the woman a smile and nodded at her. Naruto sighed, he turned his head back to his front and walked forward, away from Konoha. The crowd's insults slowly grew quieter.

Naruto walked with his head down, a frown plastered on his face. His village had betrayed him for a traitor. His comrades along with his two senseis hated him. The only people that loved Naruto in that wretched village was Tsunade and Shizune. Naruto shook his head of his thoughts and continued to walk forward, trying to forget Konoha.

There's Chapter 1! Cannons will exist! Cause naval combat without cannons just seems weird to me. Guns/muskets or whatever will not exist, just cannons. Let me know what you think!
