Sorry I took so long I was gone at my cousins wedding and as I promised this will be a little more interesting, and those who sent me the reviews thanks for the tips ill add more detail into the next coming chapters.
 
 
Naruto and Ronin were standing outside of the Hokage's room. They had been summoned by Tsunade-sama as soon as she heard that Naruto was back. They entered the room not knowing what to expect, but both were calm to an extent that would make anybody worry.
 
When they entered the room they saw that everyone was there waiting for them. Him and Ronin walked to the middle of the room and stood in front of the Hokage. Both of them no longer wore the cloaks that they had on before.
 
Naruto no longer wore that stupid orange jump suit. Instead he had black baggy cargo pants and a crimson red muscle shirt that hugged his upper body, the necklace that tsunade had given him and a sword about the same size as zabuza's on his back Ronin was wearing Jeans and a black muscle shirt and did not have any weapons on him..
 
“what did you call me for” naruto asked “we wanted to know what was going on” said Tsunade-sama “please tell us what you have done over that past 6 years” “give me one reason I should cooperate with any of you” everyone was shocked then sasuke spoke “naruto what's wrong your not being yourself” “like Kakashi said to you. I'm no longer the naruto you once knew” “well at least give me a clue as to how strong your training has made you. We've been really worried about you” “lets just say I could make kyuubi my bitch and make him crawl with fear” Tsunade and the other adults stood in shock while the other teammates stared in confusion “why are you talking about the Kyuubi” sasuke asked cautiously “what Tsunade never told you… the kyuubi is inside of me I'm his jail cell” “naruto it is illegal to talk about the kyuubi in public matters” “shut the fuck up!” everyone stared in shock as to seeing naruto's behavior. “why should I give a damn about this village when all it ever did was stone me and throw me down like garbage” Kakashi then approached naruto.
“hey calm down or I'm gonna ….” Kakashi stopped in the middle of the sentence because naruto had grabbed his throat and raised him with one hand in the air choking him “what are you gonna do, and be careful. Like you said…. I'm no longer the naruto you once knew” everyone was completely shocked. By this point Jiraiya was pissed and looked at Ronin “YOU!! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO NARUTO!!!!” he jumped at ronin ready to attack him but tsunade held him back “I haven't done anything all I did was make naruto stronger. It was his decision to open his eyes and see what the reality was. He made this choice on his own. If you want to blame anyone, blame the village for the way you treated him.” Jiraiya still trying to attack him and tsunade struggling to keep him back “calm down Jiraiya. Naruto is stronger than all of us and he is the one who trained him. God knows how strong he is!” Jiraiya calmed down “you corrupted naruto, and ill never forgive you for it” “like I said I haven't don't anything. He made this decision on his own. If you want you could say he's in the dark and you guys are gonna have to pull him out. Personally I think he needs it” everyone now confused even naruto “sensei what are you talking about I thought all the suffering and letting go was to make me stronger” “in a way yes but remember you still haven't finished your training. You still have the last six to gain” “is that why were here in konoha” “why else do you think I would bring you here dumbass. Like I said this is the place were you will suffer”
 
“ I don't see what your trying to say sensei” naruto said to ronin “your gonna have to figure it out for yourself. I'm getting tired of being here lets go” naruto followed him out of the door “N-Naruto Kun!” he turned around and to his surprise Hinata was standing there with tears rolling down her eyes. “ I never turned you down, I never said anything bad to you. I actually always admired you. So please don't treat me like all the others.” Naruto looked somewhat puzzled. He knew that hinata was always kind and he remembered she never would insult or make fun of him and would treat everyone with respect even Neji when she was supposed to resent him for being from the branch family “ill think about it” then he walked off with a confused look on his face.
 
“Sensei every time you say this is where I'll suffer what do you mean. Do you want me to resent everyone or to treasure them” “like I said you have to figure everything out for yourself” then naruto started thinking.(if you guys haven't figured it out then you really need help) How am I supposed to suffer when I have nothing to lose I think he wants me to get along with people. Come to think of it he did tell me the worst way to suffer is when it is not being done to you. But I still don't know what he's trying to say Then Ronin looked at his pupil naruto has grown a lot but he is still stupid to realize the simplest things. But he's going to have to figure these things for himself for him to grow stronger and to suffer how he is supposed to.
 
Naruto thought a lot about his sensei had said. He still wanted to become Hokage but for all the wrong reasons now. He just wanted to show everyone that he existed and to be no longer treated like shit. He wasn't really the tough guy so to speak he just hid his real feelings inside the hate he had developed against the other people who treated him like garbage.
 
“So what do we do? All I know is I'm not going to leave my brother out in the cold like this” sasuke said to the rest of the teams. “Well we have to help in some way” Hinata spoke out. “I swear to god I'm gonna kill that ronin bastard” Jiraiya said “it wasn't his fault I could tell in his voice and his eyes that he was telling the truth. So that means naruto made it his own decision. But we can still bring him back” “How. We'll do anything to help just tell me what we have to do” sakura shouted out. “I don't know but we have to do anything we can. Considering how strong he is. It wouldn't be the smartest thing to have them two as enemies” Tsunade told them as she looked at each one of the chounin. Hinata sat in the corner looking worried I wonder if he thinks I treated him like garbage Shikamaru interrupted “well we have to think of a way to be able to snap him back into himself. Something like a memory or a hobby he had but from what we've seen here I say that Hinata has the best chance to talk to him” “he's right it's the best shot we have to bring him back to the naruto we knew” Jiraiya pointed out “we'll we have to do anything we can” “well whatever we do we have to do it fast before he is gone for good” Tsunade added.
 
Meanwhile
 
Naruto had started to think about what his sensei had told him. What did he mean by suffer. Does he want me to accept my former friends again or does he want me to resent them? “you really are stupid aren't you” Ronin said “well what did you mean by suffer” “like I said you're the one who has to figure it out for himself” “why cant you just tell me. I want to get this training finished so I can prove to people that I'm not just some worthless little shit.” “well you need to suffer to gain power, and only if you suffer ultimately will you finish the training I have given you” those words stayed in naruto's head. He wanted to suffer… to gain power and to prove everyone wrong. “I'm gonna go out on a walk” “careful” Ronin said to his pupil. Naruto now confused at to his sensei knew how strong he was “I'll be fine” “I wasn't talking about you”
 
Naruto started walking down the streets. The stores had graffiti over them and were badly damaged from all the thugs going around. Maybe I should accept my friends again. But theyre a weakness. Or maybe I have some use for them?
 
Out of the corner of his eye he saw sakura. She was holding 2 grocery bags as she was confronted by 3 men. “Fresh meat” they didn't want to rape her. They had a more of a cannibalistic look in their eye.
 
She fought them back but to her surprise the three were really strong they were former students of orochimaru. She was being pinned down and naruto came up and crushed the skull in of the one who was pinning her down and snapped the two other's necks with his hands. He gave her a kind of look that made you feel uneasy “weak” he muttered then he just walked away. She wanted to run after him but she felt like she did not have enough strength to.
 
As he kept walking down the streets he thought about what he had done `well I cant just let her die besides even im not that cold hearted' the he was stopped by a certain voice “N-Naruto kun” it was soft and gentle and he turned around slowly. It was hinata. She had grown over the years more busty and the haircut she always had gave her a cute innocent look but now she had grown out her hair down to her shoulder blades and it looked really nice on her. He looked at her for a moment and then asked “need anything” he had taken her words into consideration and came up to be nice to her. Only her. She was always nice to him so the least he could do was return the favor. “why are you so cold to the others” she asked “because that's how they treated me. But you didn't so I owe you an apology” “but its kind of scary. I sometimes think that your gonna make a bad mistake in this village” “don't worry I can take care of myself. Hey wanna grab a bite to eat later on?” she was shocked. She stood there amazed at the question “why are you asking me this” “like I said your not like other people. So ill see you later” she stood there shocked but happy as she thought to herself maybe there is some hope after all
 
He returned to his apartment with Ronin in it and went straight to sleep tired from walking around all day.
 
Ronin stood in the dark corner watching his pupil he saw everything that happened while naruto went outside “so it begins” as he muttered to himself
