Hey there people uzumakie-san here this is another one of my fics. I don't know if I'm going to continue my other fics I don't think that there not that good and I had not had that much experience writing but now that I do I have decided to write this story I think it will be very good if written properly. I am getting some help from ravercozy with this fic so with that I really hope you like this. This story will take place during the shipped time period. All italics are thoughts so for sometime when Naruto and kyuubi speak it will be them speaking in thought.
I DO NOT OWN NARUTO IN ANYWAY SHAPE OR FORM.
Escaping Their Fates
There are five great nations each with a hidden ninja village within the nation. In the five great nations there are beings that contain a demon that has been sealed within them these beings are called jinchuriki. Each demon's power is measured by how many tails it has going from one to nine, nine being the strongest one being the weakest. Where ever these demon containing Jinchuriki may reside there villages have treated them with hate, disgust, and with the intent to harm them in anyway. These Jinchuriki only wish to live a normal life with no one hurting them or trying to kill them on a daily basis. But one Jinchuriki doesn't let that get to him and still wishes to protect the village that hates him so. This Jinchuriki even tries to find love and believes he has already found it. The Jinchuriki I speak of is the container of the nine tailed fox demon (kyuubi no kitsune) who happens to reside in konohagakure (village hidden in the leaves), the container of which I speak of is named Naruto uzumaki and this is his story of how he came to be loved by his village and changed the outlook on all Jinchuriki.
----XxXxXxXx----
His day started off as any normal summer day with the sun shining down upon the village. Naruto woke up to the sun shining through the window to his apartment and into his eyes burning them from the heat till he sat up. He looked over at the clock on his night stand next to his bed it read 10:00. Deciding it was time for him to wake up Naruto got up gathered some clean clothes then headed to the bathroom to take a shower. Once out he headed to his favorite shop of all time for some of his favorite food of all time ramen. Arriving Naruto removed the flaps at Ichiraku's Ramen stand and took his favorite seat.
"Hey old man how has business been so far today?" Naruto asked quite curious because he hadn't seen anyone in the place since he entered.
"It's been slow but now that you're here I have a feeling that i'm about to make some serious money." Teuchi the old man replied with a chuckle.
"Well I believe that to be correct Teuchi, lets start with 2 big bowls of pork ramen and see what happens from there." Naruto ordered while at the same time debating on what his next order will be.
"Coming right up, Ayame keep our customer occupied while I work on his ramen would you please." Teuchi yelled to his daughter while pulling out a big pot for large orders of ramen.
"Hey Naruto what's up?" Ayame asked with a smile on her face.
"Good so far, I think today there's going to be a big change in my life good or bad I don't know but i'm hoping for good." Naruto replied with his fox like grin on his face thinking of how to approach his favorite pink haired kunoichi today. Thinking of her made him blush slightly thinking of there relationship he could have with her if she said yes.
"That's good I hope whatever you have planned will go well for you. If you don't mind me asking what do y--, orders up Naruto." Ayame started to ask Naruto what was he going to do today when she was interrupted by her father placing a big bowl of ramen in front of Naruto. Naruto ate the ramen so fast it was as if he was breathing air in. Finished with his first bowl he started on his second bowl just about as fast as the first.
----XxXxXxXx----
After about twenty bowls in all Naruto decided to head out back to his house to plan for what exactly he wanted to get to offer to his pink haired kunoichi named Sakura. Arriving at his house he sits down on the couch relaxing and began to plan the rest of his day.
'Hmm……. I think ill get her some flowers, chocolates, and go see a movie and reservations for dinner.' Naruto counted off all his plans on his finger. After deciding on what he wanted to do he changed into more formal clothes Naruto headed out first to Yamanaka's flower shop to pick out some flowers. Naruto walked in to the shop to see his fellow blond ninja Ino sitting at the counter looking like she was not in a good mood.
"Hey Ino what's up?" Naruto asked hoping he can help get his friend out of the mood she was in.
"Nothing just bored watching over the shop, I would rather be on a mission right now, anyway how may I help you?" Ino politely ask but still irritated for having t watch the shop and not really wanting to deal with anyone right now.
"Do you have bouquets of pink and white roses?" Naruto asked wishing that the shop did carry the kind of flowers he wanted to get for Sakura.
~Sigh~ "Yea hold on ill go get them for you." Ino turned and went to the back of the shop to find the flowers for Naruto's order. Finding them Ino returns to the front of the shop handing the bouquet of flowers to Naruto. "Here you are Naruto that will be $10.50 and remember if floral in need yamanaka's flower shop is the place to be." Ino said while at the end reluctantly saying the cheesy line she was forced to say every time someone made a purchase at her family store.
"Thanks Ino-Chan here is the money and don't worry you will always have my business if i'm ever in need of flowers." Naruto said then turning around walking into the streets and out of the flower shop.
While Naruto was walking down the streets he heard some of the villagers saying some nasty things about him. He thought that by now he should be used to this but figured that it would always hurt just a little no matter what. He even got hit by a couple of rotten food thrown at him by some of the villagers. Ignoring the thrown food Naruto walks into the nearest restaurant he finds so that he can wash off the food that was thrown at him like that. Luckily there wasn't much there and it was not on long enough to stain his clothes. After cleaning he stopped at a drug store to buy some body spray to get rid of the stench of rotten food. After the little incident Naruto finally arrived at the candy store to by some chocolates for Sakura.
Walking up to the counter Naruto gets the attention of the clerk at the counter and purchase's his order. "Um hello miss I was wondering if I can buy a box of chocolates that would go along with these flowers." He said while holding up the flowers for the clerk to see.
"Hmmm….. Let me see what we have, hold on just a second." The lady at the counter said and took off in the store to help find a nice set of chocolates that would go good with pink and white roses. 'hmmm… ah just the perfect set'. She grabbed the box of chocolates and arrived back at the counter to a waiting Naruto.
"Here you are sir I think the white and strawberry chocolates would be a perfect match for those flowers." The women said while ringing up Naruto's bill for the chocolates.
"Alright that will be $4.50 total." She told Naruto.
He paid for the chocolates then headed over to the fanciest restaurant to make reservations for the night he had planned ahead. Now he had plenty of time to get there because it was still early on in the day but he just wanted to get done with most of the planning early so he had time to prepare his speech to Sakura when asking her on the date. He went to the fanciest restaurant in the village and as soon as the workers saw him walking toward the entrance they shooed him away and told him he was never allowed to be in that restaurant. This went on for most of the restaurants he passed and attempted to go into so he decided to head over to Choji's house to see if he knew of any fancy restaurants that he has yet to check out after first informing him of all the places he has already tried to go to.
Naruto arrived at the Akamichi clan's compound and knocked on the door waiting for someone to answer the door so he can talk to his friend Choji. When someone finally answered the door Naruto saw a five foot eight inches tall man that weighed about 230 pounds that was wearing a red kimono for guys (don't know if there is a difference of names for guys and girls if so please let me know) he had red swirls on his cheeks and had long orange hair. He answered in a gruff tone of voice "Hello sir how may I help you?" the man said
"Um I was wondering if Choji was here I wanted to ask him a question its kind of important to me sir." Naruto ask a little intimidated by the adult Akamichi at the door.
"Yes I believe he is in the courtyard outback training you may come in and go and speak with him if you wish." the man had said.
"Thank you sir ill be quick about it." and with that Naruto walked into the compound and towards the small training field behind the main house.
Naruto arrived at the training grounds a couple of seconds later to see Choji training with another clan member and by the looks of it Choji had the clan member on the defensive.
Noticing someone else was present in the fields Choji abruptly stopped his attack and turned towards Naruto.
"Hey Naruto what do you want i'm kind of busy here?" Choji asked in a rather annoyed and unusual tone for him.
"Hi Choji I wanted to ask you a question but it seems like I did something to piss you off so whatever never mind." Naruto said this then jumped over the courtyard walls and headed off to find another one of his friends to see if anyone else would be able to help before Choji could get to him to let him know it wasn't him he was angry with. He at first thought to ask Neji or Hinata but remembered that they were busy with clan stuff and were away on a mission for it. His next thoughts led to a lazy but very smart chunin friend of his Shikamaru Nara. With that thought Naruto turned and headed towards the Nara residency hoping to find Shikamaru there.
Naruto arrived at the house walking up to the door and knocking on it. The door was answered by someone who look almost exactly like his friend Shikamaru except for a few scars on his face and that he was slightly taller than Shikamaru. The man spoke in a friendly and lazy tone "Yes what or who is it you need?" The man asked.
"Is Shikamaru in I wanted to know if I can speak with him?" Naruto asked hoping to speak with him.
"Shikamaru does not want to see you right now so please go about your business and check elsewhere please." The man thought to be Shikamaru's father said to Naruto only to see the saddened look on the young ones face. Naruto just stiffened and ran off before Shikamaru's father could stop him to reword what he had just said not meaning it in the way he had said it.
'Why doesn't anyone want to talk to me today?' Naruto thought to himself while running across the roofs to head towards his house to get ready because he had spent so much time trying to look for a restaurant to take Sakura to that he lost track of time.
'Oh well I guess I could take her to Ichiraku's I know it will be lame but it's the only place that I can think of now.' Naruto thought to himself trying to put himself in a better mood before he approached Sakura after he got ready.
----XxXxXxXx----
Naruto had gotten all of the things he needed like the flowers and chocolates but decided to not dress up seeming as he was only going to take her to Ichiraku's. Now with everything he needed he walked down the street and headed towards the hospital to wait for Sakura to end her shift there and take her on the date he hoped she would except. On his way to the hospital he got a lot of awkward looks from the villagers putting the looks aside and not paying to much attention to him he kept going towards the hospital. He arrived to what he thought was a little early so he waited on a bench outside the front doors waiting for her to come out. A couple of minutes waiting on the bench Naruto heard the door open to the hospital and snapped his head over to see who it was. What he saw was partially what he wanted to see (being Sakura) but the rest just made him hurt and grunt holding back some tears (Sasuke). Sakura and Sasuke walked out of the hospital arm in arm looking at each other with love in there eyes when they heard a grunt of distress turning towards the grunt they see Naruto sitting there with a box of chocolates and a bouquet of flowers. They decided to walk up to Naruto and see what he wanted.
"Naruto what are you doing here with chocolates and flowers." Sakura said while trying to stifle a laugh.
"Well Sakura I was here to ask you out on a date and give you these flowers and chocolate." Naruto said still slightly hopeful that Sakura would except his request and was just with Sasuke because they were going to train together.
"Seriously *giggle* that's just hilarious." Sakura finished and burst out laughing with Sasuke right behind her. The reaction Sakura showed toward his request was the breaking point to his wonderful day sure his friends had been rude to him when he was trying to be friendly but he figured they were just having a bad day but the way Sakura was acting now showed (to him) that nobody wanted anything to do with him.
"Fine if that's how you want it ill just leave you all and go somewhere nobody knows who I am maybe then I can be happy." Naruto yells trying to hold back his tears and failing miserably at it. He turned and ran towards his home to greave and formulate a plan to escape the village and live in piece for once.
He arrived at his home shortly after he took off away from Sakura and Sasuke. Once he got into his apartment he shut and locked the door then ran and plopped on his bed so that he can cry out his miseries a little bit before he started to pack his things and take off. While lying there crying he hadn't realized that the Kyuubi had pulled him into his mindscape and right in front of the cage he was in. The voice he heard was the same demonic voice he was always heard while speaking to the great kyuubi no kitsune.
"BOY DO NOT CRY I HAVE THOUGHT OF A PLAN TO HELP YOU ESCAPE FROM THIS VILLAGE AND BECOME A GREAT SHINOBI THE LIKES OF WHICH THIS WORLD HAS NEVER SEEN BEFORE. NOW STOP YOUR WRETCHED CRYING AND LISTEN TO WHAT I HAVE TO SAY." Came the demonic voice of the all powerful Kyuubi No Kitsune. Hearing the voice the boy snapped his head up with a tear ridden face glaring at the kyuubi like he was the cause of all his problems (and in a way he was the cause.) The boy simply replied.
"What do you want idiot fox you're the cause of this why should I listen to you after all that has happened to me because of you."
"BECAUSE I FEEL FOR YOU AND DID NOT MEAN FOR YOU TO BE HURT BECAUSE OF YOU BEING MY VESSILE AND WISH TO MAKE IT UP TO YOU BY HELPING YOU ESCAPE AND TRAIN YOU TO MAKE YOU EVEN MORE POWERFUL THAN YOU ALREADY ARE. ONCE I HAVE TRAINED YOU WE CAN THEN TAKE REVENGE OR DO WHAT EVER YOU WANT TO THIS VILLAGE THAT HAVE CAUSED YOU SO MUCH PAIN."The Kyuubi spoke truly and honestly with a sincere voice. From what the Kyuubi said and in the tone of voice he said it in he believed the fox for every word but did have to correct him on one thing before he listened to his plan of escape.
"Ok fox I believe you but there is one thing I am not going to do and that is take revenge on this place it is the place I was born and despite all of the beatings and assassination attempts and all the other harm that has come to me from the villagers I still love this place and besides there is a couple of people that I still hold dear to my heart and wish no harm to come to them. I do want to return one day but that's not for quiet some time from now at the very least four years maybe even more." Naruto replied to the fox.
"OK I UNDERSTAND THAT AND WILL RESPECT YOUR REQUEST. NOW AS FOR THE ESCAPE PLAN I WANT YOU TO PACK EVERYTHING YOU WILL NEED FOR LONG TRAVELING TRIPS AND HEAD TO THE WEST GATE WHERE IT IS THE LEAST GAURDED AND "HOP THE GATE" AND KEEP HEADING WEST TILL I TELL YOU ALL IS CLEAR AND NOONE IS FOLLOWING US."The Kyuubi instructed Naruto in doing so that they can finally escape the village and live a happy life somewhere else.
"Should I at least write a letter or something to tell the Granny Tsunade that I'm leaving or no?" Naruto asked curiously.
"NO I WILL TEACH YOU SOMETHING THEN YOU CAN SEND IT TO HER AFTER WE LEAVE AND SEE HOW SHE REACTS WHEN WE RETURN AFTER THE YEARS OF TRAINING THE ONLY THING YOU SHOULD DO IS LEAVE HER NECKLACE HERE AND IF SHE WANTS YOU TO HAVE IT BACK THEN SHE WILL GIVE IT BACK TO YOU."Kyuubi said to Naruto in a stern voice not wanting much of anyone after him.
"Ok fox I wont now I got to gather my things and pack." Naruto said and doing just that walking around the apartment gathering things to pack for his long journey.
Naruto first went to his dresser to gather all of his clothes that he had and put them into a sealing scroll he had made with the help of the Kyuubi's knowledge. After packing all of his clothes he turned to his closet were he had a small safe for his money and valuable possessions (what few he has) and packed them into another sealing scroll. He didn't need to seal any of his ninja tools because he already had them packed in his ninja tool pack that is strapped to his hip and leg. The last thing he did after packing his camping things was pack all the ramen he had into one last scroll and then put all the sealing scrolls into a backpack. He took off his necklace and placed it on the counter of his apartment and took off out the window.
----XxXxXxXx----
(to lazy to write the journey he had to get outside the village just know that he had no problems because of the help of the Kyuubi)
He had made it successfully out of Konoha and was no running at a nice easy pace in silence when the Kyuubi interrupted his silence with some very interesting news.
"HEY KIT THERE IS SOMETHING I HAVE GOT TO TELL YOU."Kyuubi said to Naruto breaking the silence between the two.
"Ok fox go ahead what is it?" Naruto asked wondering what the kyuubi wanted to tell him thinking that there was nothing to tell him before hand.
"WELL FOR SOMETIME NOW WHEN WE WERE IN THE VILLAGE I SENSED TWO PEOPLE FOLLOWING US AROUND EVERYWERE BUT DIDN'T THIK MUCH OF IT BECAUSE I FIGURED I WAS ANBU OR SOMETHING ON PROTECTIVE DETAIL BUT IM NOT SO SURE ANYMORE BECAUSE WE ARE BEING FOLLOWED BY THE SAME TWO PRESENCE."Kyuubi warned him.
Naruto decided to investigate what the Kyuubi said and stopped in his tracks and yelled over his shoulder.
"I KNOW YOUR THERE STEP OUT AND TELL ME WHY YOU ARE FOLLOWING ME."
When he said that two figures in black cloaks and pure white masks on jumped out of the bushes to greet him. Noticing the two figures showed themselves to him he turned around to face them and find out who exactly they are and why they are following him.
"Very good Naruto-kun you have figured out that we were following you although I can say that it did take quite some time." The shorter of the two figures said to him.
"Just shut up and tell me who you are and why your following me." Naruto responded to the cloaked figures.
----XxXxXxXx----
And that's a wrap for now hope you enjoy thank you.
