"I am doing the best I can!"

The angry shout of one Uzumaki Naruto rang through the open waterfall. Only a few hours ago did he find himself being whisked away to train in the Sage Arts sadly to discover that he had absolute abysmal concentration.

Seriously he was horrible at this, and they just kept pushing him to learn faster and faster. At some point he lost his temper and-

"Naruto! What did you just call him!" growled Gama-bunta.

Normally he wouldn't wander up this far but the arguments between the elder toads and the young Jinchuuriki had gotten to the point where practically everyone could hear what they were talking about.

Now Bunta was far from amused with Naruto's attitude. In fact what Naruto had just said hurt the old toad's feelings, greatly.

Fukasaku's eyes drooped; he was very self-conscious about his age.

Naruto gulped seeing the expression of the large toad boss. What he just said came out all wrong, he didn't mean to sound so heartless but his whole body was numb from exhaustion and the kyuubi chakra was not letting him focus.

Then he saw the hurt look on the old toad and his breath caught halfway because there was no excuse being so rude to your elders.

Naruto took a step towards the old toad looking guilty, he was about to beg the old guy for forgiveness when another voice entered the fray.

"What did you say to my husband," the cold voice of Kaa-chan said from atop the waterfall.

Naruto looked up to see the old gal radiating fury. She must not have been used to seeing her husband being insulted; it touched a nerve in Naruto to see that kind of care.

"It's alright…maybe I was a bit too harsh, you know I am not as young as I used to be," the old toad laughed trying to look cheerful but he was clearly wounded.

"I didn't mean to-,"

"Mean to what? Insult someone who is only trying to make you stronger. Disrespecting someone who only has your best interests at heart? Wound an old man? Naruto you don't understand, we do not tolerate this kind of behavior in the mountain. You can't just go about spouting bull whenever you feel like it," Bunta growled picking up the boxer wearing naruto by his boxer seams.

He hung the boy only an inch from his eye giving him a one eyed glare "I thought you were better than that Naruto,"

"I-,"

"Still making excuses," Kaa-san said hopping on top of Bunta's head, glaring down at the guilt ridden Uzumaki.

"It's alright, really. Let's just forget this all happened," Fukasaku said trying to lighten the atmosphere, but he was still hurt by what the young man said.

He only wanted the brat to get stronger, but his attitude had been getting worse as the hours went by.

Seeing how down the elder was Kaa-san reacted, "Bunta throw this ingrate out of the Mountain,"

Naruto's face looked alarmed at this, light bulbs turned on in his head "You can't be serious, that was just an accident, and I am sorry okay! I am sorry! I didn't-,"

"It took you this long to apologize Uzumaki!" Bunta shouted.

Naruto felt the dread when he heard the boss call him by his last name. He always knew his big mouth would get him into a lot of trouble, but he never meant to hurt anyone's feelings before.

He looked at Fukasaku, the old frog looked like he was suffering from arthritis and wobbly knees syndrome and still he was willing to help Naruto.

Naruto didn't answer to Bunta, the Boss had a point.

So when he was unceremoniously dropped off the mountain into the large forest surrounding it, he did not complain and took it in stride.

A part of him was furious at the injustice, but the larger part told him that he had this coming. He took a moment to look at the large clouds above the sky as he lay down on the forest ground. Getting up slowly, Naruto brushed himself off and realized that he was only wearing his boxers.

They didn't even give him his clothes back when they exiled him. He felt around for his Shodaime necklace and found it missing from his neck-figures.

They were probably going to return it to Tsunade and tell her exactly why Naruto is not the current owner of said item.

Sighing Naruto looked north, it was going to be a long walk home.
