I know what you're thinking: "Another Emperor of the West Naruto story on Fan-fiction? Sure, why not."
Well, this isn't that type of story. Here's the summary:

Naruto had finally defeated Sasuke and brought him back to Konoha. Zzzzzzzzzzz... Anyway, yada yada yada. He gets banished for hurting Sasuke too badly and heads out. On his short travel, he has a run-in with ROOT and is saved by a man from the West. Said man takes Naruto over the Wall separating East form West and Naruto trains there. What exactly will happen to the story of Naruto now I wonder?

Expect OOC for some characters, Bashing on most characters from Konoha, crossover characters in the West[though I'm putting a special spin on who appears], and I think I might just change up some other character back stories. Especially Madara's. Enjoy.

[After all that nonsense at VOTE]

Naruto had beaten Sasuke. The dead last of the Academy beat the prodigy Uchiha of Konoha. And how you may ask? Well, the important parts are as follows:

Naruto chases Sasuke.
Sasuke shoves a Chidori into Naruto's shoulder.
Naruto uses Kyuubi's chakra to beat the holy hell out of Sasuke.
Sasuke uses the 2nd form Curse Seal.
Naruto goes into his one tailed form but accidentally puts too much Oomph into his Rasengan.
Naruto knocked Sasuke out with said technique and drags him back to Konoha with another Chidori through his gut this time.

Get all that? Awesome.

Naruto was dragging Sasuke back to their home and could see the gates not too far away. He let out a stiff chuckle to ignore the pain in his gut from the second Chidori Sasuke used on him.
"Heh heh."
He chuckled out, though through gritted teeth at the pain.
"See that Sasuke? I told you I'd beat you and take you back home. And that's exactly what I did teme."

As Naruto was heading back to the gates of their home, he started to wonder if this was finally gonna be the moment. That moment he had been clamoring for ever since he became a ninja. The moment that the villagers, both civilian and shinobi alike, would acknowledge him and see him as more than the village pariah. The moment when he finally gets the positive attention he always wanted from everyone here. The moment when he was going to treated like an actual human being , he has people that care for him; Iruka, Ayame and her father, Tsunade, Ten-Ten and Rock Lee from the orphanage, but that was only a few out of an entire village. When people keep treating you like the plague then it's pretty easy to forget who you are in order to gain their approval.

Naruto was hoping that this act of bringing back the last Uchiha that was treated like royalty would finally make him liked by the majority of the village instead of the few he knew. Yet something in the back of his mind just told him that that would never happen and that he would be treated worse. Maybe even arrested or something. [Why not. This chapter is already pretty meta anyway, moving forward]

"No."
Naruto shook his head at those thoughts and focused on keeping his promise to Sakura.
"Almost there. Almost home."

As soon as Naruto was in eye sight of the village gates, he saw one of the guards quickly rush off to inform Tsunade that he returned with Sasuke Uchiha. The other guard quickly rushed over to the bloody blond just in time to catch him before he collapsed. The wounds on Naruto's body were severe while from what Izumo could see on Sasuke, the Uchiha looked as if he was attacked by on old man with a cane who used to be a superhero or something. Naruto looked like he had played Russian Roulette with a loaded shotgun.

Izumo was about to pick Naruto up and carry him to the hospital to get treated, but that was when a familiar voice stopped him.
"You can hand the gaki to me."
Izumo turned to see the Toad Sannin standing behind him with a stern look on his face.
"I'll take it from here. You bring Uchiha-sama to the hospital."

Izumo was about to question the old toad until he saw a very deathly gaze coming from the man. Not liking the idea of dying by a Sannin outweighing his judgment on where said Sannin was going take Naruto, Izumo reluctantly nodded and handed the blond to Jiraiya. Jiraiya in turn slung the blond over his shoulder and Shunshinned away from them.

"Why don't I like what's going to happen now?"
Izumo said to himself as he took Sasuke with him to the hospital.

[Hours later, council room]

Just as Naruto had predicted, he was sitting in the middle of the council room, bloody and battered, and in the middle of a farce of a trial. In all honesty, it didn't really surprise Naruto that he was in this particular predicament. Of course they would only see him as an 'uncontrollable' demon that 'hurt' their precious Uchiha. They just forget the fact that he, ya know, betrayed the village by turning traitor and trying to join a missing nin from Konoha in Orochimaru. Yeah they just gloss over all of that like it didn't really happen.

"Naruto Uzumaki."
An old man with many bandages spoke up since Tsunade wanted no part of this.
"By the majority vote of the council, for harming a fellow shinobi of our great village, you are hereby banished from Konoha. If you were to step foot within Fire Country, then you will be killed on site. You have until tomorrow to pack your things and leave our village. Demon."

Naruto sighed as he saw the smug looks on most of the faces of the council. They had waited for such a long time to be able to either banish or kill off the Uzumaki that it was borderline ridiculous. The elders, the civilian council and even some of the shinobi council. I say some because aside from Hiashi, who was friends with Minato back in the day, all the other clan heads detested the blond boy. To Naruto, they never liked the idea of him being close to their children and 'corrupting their minds' as they would put it.

Naruto sighed as he stood up and limped out of the room, not really giving that much of a shit anymore. He passed by many people and overheard their displeasure in how he roughed up their precious little Uchiha brat. He didn't even bother as he made it to his rat infested, dilapidated apartment home. He didn't even bother closing the door or taking off his sandals as he just started packing. Whatever meaningful possessions he had, which were very few and far between, he packed like clothes and his frog wallet pouch thingy, before headin' out of the building. As a last'fuck you' to the guy who owned the building that was absolutely horrible to Naruto, said blond decided to rig paint bombs in his room along with the old mans just because at this point.

Naruto walked down the street and noticed that people were actually cheering at the fact that he was banished now.
'Gee, I wonder how they all found out?'
Naruto thought to himself sarcastically.

Since he was banished now, the people of the village had started to call him things like 'Kyuubi brat' or saying that the forth should have killed him when he was reincarnated as the blond. Since most didn't know how Fuinjuutsu worked, they always assumed that Naruto was the Kyuubi and not its jailer. Not so bright bunch really.

Naruto ignored them and made his way towards the gate once again. It's funny really. Earlier that day he left with his friends in order to bring his supposed best friend back home. Now, he was leaving through these same gates as a banished ninja. Speaking of which, once he got past the gates he took his headband off. Naruto looked at it for a brief moment before tossing it over to Izumo. Said man caught it, still in shock at what he had heard not too long ago. Naruto smirked at him and nodded before walking away into the forest.

[Roughly 2 hours later, the real beginning of the story]

Naruto had been walking for awhile now and decided to rest close to the border of Wind Country. Seeing as though he was unwelcomed in Fire Country now, he decided to try his luck in Suna. At least he had friends there in the form of Gaara and his siblings. Those three were a massive help when Orochimaru's Sound Four attacked one by one.

Naruto sat on a rock while slowly realizing a few things. One, he had no food. Two, he was hungry from not having said food. Three, his body had slowly healed with aid from Kyuubi. And four, he was being followed.

Naruto turned around and quickly dodged a kunai before getting into a defensive stance with a kunai of his own. He stood at the ready for anything until he felt about ten or so chakra signatures approaching fast, all with high chakra. Not wanting to test his luck today, Naruto ran away, but unfortunately his body wasn't fully healed. He was moving in a sprint as he couldn't move too fast from his still untreated wounds from Sasuke.

"Dammit!"
Naruto yelled to himself as he knew that there was no way he could escape his pursuers like this.
"If I live through this, I swear I'm gonna get stronger so this doesn't happen again!"

Too bad for him that a well placed and very fast kunai embedded itself into his left leg, stopping him from moving as he fell from the pain. Naruto gripped his leg and pulled out the kunai. He took off his jacket and ripped off a sleeve to tie around the wound, but he didn't get far as another kunai pinned his right hand to the tree he was leaning on. Naruto let out a scream of pain as he saw the ten Anbu landing right in front of him, surrounding him like vultures. Naruto could easily tell that these were Konoha Anbu judging from their outfits and masks, but for some reason these mask had the kanji for Root on the foreheads. Naruto didn't know what was going on at first, but then he figured that some of the villagers paid these guys to kill him.

"Guess this is where my luck ends then."
Naruto muttered to himself as he looked down, wondering if everything he had ever worked hard for was all for nothing.

He closed his eyes and waited as he heard them taking out some things at first. Naruto didn't bother to look up as he was fairly certain that this was his end, or so it seemed until a new voice broke the dead silence.

"I find it very unfortunate that it takes this many people to kill a teenager."
The voice was calm, yet fierce. Soft, yet dangerous, and it sent a chill up the Root Anbu, who were planning on slapping an obedience seal on Naruto, spine's. They turned to see who this newcomer was.
"I would advise that you all leave, yes I would."

Naruto opened his eyes and looked over to see a fairly tall man with long red haired that's tied up and wearing some kind of white pants and red robes. The oddest thing about him though, was the X shaped scar on his left cheek. For some reason, Naruto felt calm when he saw this man. No idea why, but this guy just seemed friendly to him for some weird reason.

"Silent ninja I see."
The man spoke once more as he placed his left hand onto the hilt of his blade still in its sheath. The Root stood ready to attack this man and he simply sighed.
"It appears I have no choice then."

The Root Anbu rushed at him with incredible speed. Naruto shouted for the apparent samurai to run away, that there was no way he could take on some of his former villages best ninja. The man didn't respond as he simply stood motionless. The Root were mere feet away when the man opened his eyes. Faster than most people would be able to keep up with, the man drew his sword and began dancing around the Root Anbu. His sword danced along with him as he moved forward, until he was standing right in front of Naruto, sword covered in blood and in a reverse grip. Naruto looked on in both horror and awe as the Root Anbu started to fall apart as blood sprayed from their bodies one by one. Only the last one wasn't doing the same as he simply fell to the ground clutching his spine and neck in pain.

"Whoa."
Naruto spoke as the man whipped his sword so the blood would come off.

"They were the best?"
The man asked Naruto while sheathing his now semi-clean blade.
"Then no wonder it took that many to try and kill you."

"That was incredible."
Naruto said in amazement, despite being in pain and still pinned by the hand on a tree.
"Who are you?"

The man smiled a warm smile as he bent down and took the kunai out of Naruto's hand, causing the boy to wince a little at the pain.
"My name is Kenshin."
He started as he took out some gauze from his pocket and wrapped it around the wound.
"Kenshin Uzumaki."

"Wait a second."
Naruto raised a brow, causing the man to tilt his head a bit.
"My names Naruto. Naruto Uzumaki."

Kenshin gasped for a moment and went wide eyed.
"You're an Uzumaki?"
Naruto didn't know how to answer that since he didn't know what the man meant.
"But the Uzumaki family has red hair, not blond. Unless."
Kenshin placed his hand on his chin as he thought about it for a moment.

"Um. No offense Kenshin,"
This got said samurai's attention.
"But, where did you even come from?"

"Well."
He started as he scratched the back of his head sheepishly and chuckled a bit, putting his previous thought away for now.
"Me and a friend were visiting a few places here in the East and were resting before we returned home. That was when I heard you scream and rushed over here."

"Whose your friend?"
Naruto asked as he himself was fixing up his leg with the gauze this time.

"That would be me."
A new, and deeper voice spoke out as he walked over to them. Naruto looked up at the tower of a man as he stood at possibly 6 feet and maybe even a couple, or a lot, of inches. He was wearing a sleeveless blue jacket with a red shirt under it and jeans. He had a very muscular frame and plain brown hair. He walked over to the two and Naruto felt very small under his stature.

"Kenshiro,"
Kenshin spoke out as he stood up with a smile.
"Glad that you came over."

"Hmm."
The now named Kenshiro nodded. He looked at the still shocked and slightly scared face of Naruto.
"You don't have to be afraid child. I will not harm you."

"It's not really that."
Naruto started as he continued to look up to the man.
"It's just, man you're freakin huge!"

Kenshin chuckled a bit while Kenshiro smirked at the blonds child-like retort.

"What is your name?"
Kenshiro asked.

"My name is Naruto Uzu-"
Naruto started proudly before being cut off by Kenshin.

"His name is Naruto, Kenshiro, that it is."
He interrupted.

Kenshiro nodded before walking along.
"We should go before nightfall. You know what'll happen if we miss our window."

"Right, right."
Kenshin started before standing up and looking down to Naruto.
"Would you like to come with us Naruto?"

"W-What?"
He asked the smiling man that just killed a bunch of Anbu and left one withing in pain.

"Would you like to come with us?"
Kenshin asked once more.
"You were clearly kicked out of you home for some reason or another, and if I heard right when you were running, you said you would get stronger if you survived."
Naruto gasped a bit.
"I could help train you. A few others would as well, yes they would."

Naruto thought about it for a moment. He barely knew these guys aside from their names. Was Kenshin related to him or maybe his parents? What exactly could he do? He was just kicked out of Konoha and saw that no one would miss him. Add on to the fact that someone had paid some Anbu members to kill him, so that just makes thinking it over a lot easier.

"Do it kit."
The deep voice of the Kyuubi spoke in his mind.

"Really?"
Naruto asked him.

"I sense something different about these two. Wherever they're from, they will help you. Go."
Kyuubi finished before fading away into Naruto's mindscape once again.

Naruto looked up into Kenshin's eyes and grinned a big tooth grin.
"Okay. I'll go with you."

Kenshin sighed in relief as he helped Naruto up.
"That's a relief."

"Hey, Kenshin."
Naruto started after he grabbed his bag and what was left of his jacket.

"Yes Naruto?"

"Where exactly are you guys from anyway?"

Kenshin hoisted Naruto up and sat the blond on his shoulders as he walked after Kenshiro.
"We are from the West."

"Ohh."
Naruto started, a delayed reaction from his pretty uneducated mind. That was when it hit him like a Chidori through the chest.
"WAIT, WHAAAAAAAAT!?"

Yep. Gonna be a fun and totally original story. Lol. Gonna have crossover characters from Anime, Comics, Cartoons and a few that are neither. Hope ya'll enjoyed this chapter and will continue to read it as it progresses.

Just to reiterate, this is not a 'Naruto goes to the West and becomes an Emperor' story. Love reading those, but I'm doing things differently, hence why Kenshin paused for a moment to think.

Crossover characters so far:

Kenshin- Rurouni Kenshin

Kenshiro- Fist of the North Star

See ya in the next one,

Bye-bye.
