Chapter 1: The end of Naruto.

I claim no ownership in Naruto but I do claim ownership with my OCs

The gentle morning breeze past over the young couple who had taken refuge under the large oak tree. It's shadow loomed over them embracing them in the cool shade. The warm light from the bright golden sun bounced off the blue lake water making a beautiful aura of colors that danced around them. A young man with ruff sunny blond hair laid on a blanket looking up at the soft clouds as they past through the almost clear blue sky.

“What are you thinking about? I hope it's me.” A young woman said as she leaned on him studying his face. Her shot cherry blossom hair blew back and forth as the wind rushed over the cool lake. Her soft green eyes almost seemed to merge with his as she tried to anticipate his thoughts.

“I was just wondering if this would last.” His deep blue eyes briefly focused on her, then returned to the sky.

“Of course it will. I can't imagine what I would have done without you Naruto.” She ran her hand a cross three dark lines on the left cheek of his face, caressing them gently.

“I'm not worried about us; I just can't help but think that all this will soon end. Konoha has been so calm and peaceful. I can't help but feel... something is about to happen.” He focused on her again putting his hands on her hips. The young woman smiled while touching the three marks on his other cheek. Gently stroking each on with her index finger.

“You're just being silly. We are jonin now and if anything happened to Kanoha we would be here to protect it…..you and I.” She rested her head on Naruto's chest closing her eyes and listening to his heart and the sounds of him breathing.

“Sakura.” Naruto propped himself up on his elbows and Sakura sat up tucking in her legs under her and leaned on her hands. Naruto put his hand on the left side of her face running his fingers through her soft hair and rubbing her cheek gently. “I love you.” Naruto looked deep into her eyes and his concern faded. Sakura blushed, leaned in, and kissed him deeply.

“There is only one thing that could make this day better……If he were here…..Saskue.”Naruto thought to himself

--

“Naruto, Naruto!” A young man with coal black hair followed by another with dark brown hair came running down the street.

“Well Shikimaru and Kiba seem auwfly excited about something.” Sakura said as she notice the two young men that were quickly approaching.

“Hey guys, wheres the fire?” Naruto had a blanket draped over his arm which he handed to Sakura as the two stopped in front of him and hunkered over.

“I just found." pant pant "out where" pant pant "Iruka is.” Shikamaru was trying to catch his breath as he spoke. Naruto studied Shikimaru for a moment and then his face lit up.

“Where is he, is he alright.” Naruto gripped Shikamaru's shoulders.

“I don't know. He was... sent out on a recon mission to find out what the situation with Mist is. The worst part is" Shikimaru glanced at Naruto " He was sent alone.” Shikamaru looked over Naturo's face with his dark brown eyes.

“Why would they send him alone?!" Naruto gripped Shikamaru's shoulders tighter. Shikamaru winced as pain shot through his arms.

“Naruto its okay, Iruka is strong, he can handle it by himself, it's only a recon mission.'' Sakura put her hand on Naruto's arm and gently squeezed trying to calm him. Naruto eased up on Shikamaru.

“I'm sorry Shikamaru I didn't mean to hurt you.” He focused on Sakura trying to hide the panic rushing through his body. “I'm just glade to know where Iruka is.” Naruto let go of Shikamaru and turned away. His shoulders looked heavy as he heaved a deep sigh.

“Naruto so you know… If you decided to go after him I will help you.” Kiba had been rather silent, but his offer came out in his usual boisterous manner.

“No Kiba, if we went to Mist to find Iruka we could be discovered and it would be considered an act of invasion. I don't want to start a war. But thanks for being a good freind.” Naruto kept his back to Kiba. “I'll catch you guys later.” Naruto looked over his shoulder. He was straining to smile and keep from running to find Iruka. He then quietly headed towards his house.

The night was quiet and still but the strong wood gate was still open ready for those who might venture into the village. A silent breeze blew by only making a sound when it rushed through the trees causing them to rustle back and forth as if applauding a great performance. The moon light permeated the darkness as if Kami himself were holding a lantern to light the way for travelers. Two men sat off to one side of the gate each with some sort of reading material in their hand trying not to look board. The man to the left lowered his book to check the time. He looked to the watch on his wrist studying it briefly with his dark eyes. He then glanced away from his wrist and found a shadow with rose red eyes looming over him. He stood startled to find someone had gotten this close to him without him noticing. He looked into the shadows face and his eyes widened.

“Could it be you…..The Uchiha!?”

--

A loud booming permeated the room as hard knocks bounded the door with a few brief pauses. “Naruto, Naruto.” a voice emerged from the door. Naruto opened his eyes and looked around the dark room his senses screaming from the sudden upheaval from their resting state. The banging on the door continued only this time even louder then before. Naruto slow lifted himself from his bed, his body felt heavy. He groggily walked to the door dragging his feet a cross the hard wood floor. He flung it open and found Lee on the other side of it. Lee stared at Naruto who was giving a slightly irritated look.

“What is it bushy brow.” His voice was rough. Lee stood from a moment catching his breath.

“I thought I told you to stop" Lee stopped and wave his hand frantically. "Nevermind that, Naruto, he's back….He's back.” Naruto's eyes widened as his face grew pale. Without sparing another moment he quickly ran past Lee down the hall and out the door into the warm early morning. He ran down the street the moon light his only guide through the dim streets. But that did not concern him because soon the sun would rise and bring with it a golden morning.

“Could it really be you…..Saskue.” Naruto thought as he headed to the gate.

--

Naruto approached the gate and found he had been beaten there by several nin including his mentor Kakashi. Naruto ran over to Kakashi while trying to look through the dozen or so Jonin for Saskue.

“Kakashi is it true has Saskue returned.” Naruto asked. The moon light bounced of his face which held a look of hope mixed with fear. Kakashi nodded sullenly.

“Where is he? I want to see him.” Naruto gripped the arms of Kakashi's shirt.

“You'll have to wait Naruto, as soon as he got here he was taken to see the council. They are going to decided if and how he will be punished.” Kakashi had the same sullen tone to his voice. He ran his hand through his short but tall grey hair as he studied the cold bricks that made the street.

“Is something wrong? What aren't you telling me?” Narutolet go of Kakashi's arms and looked into his face and even though his lower face was covered by a mask he could still see the trouble in Kikashi's eyes. Kakashi grabbed Naruto's shoulders and looked him in the eyes. Naruto could tell that Kakashi seemed concerned but what Kakashi said next only confused him.

“Naruto, what ever happens from here on out you are a Kanoha nin and the people here value you no mater what your past and future may be. Just……remember that.” Kakashi let go of Naruto's shoulders and turned away from him. Naruto stood there staring at Kakashi's back unsure of what had just happened or what to do next. “You should go home and get some more rest…. I have a feeling you have a big day ahead of you tomorrow.

Naruto opened his eyes and lookedaround his room that was now filled with the beautiful morning sunlight. He moved to check his alarm clock and found it had been smashed. He sighed and figured he must have done it in a half asleep rage when it went off. He leaped out of bed as he remembered the events of the early morning. Quickly he put on his clothes and ran out into the bight sunny day. As he ran down the streets the warm breeze rushing over his face and through his hair he thought of how great it would be to have them all together again. Naruto felt four years apart was enough and that form here on out they would all grow up together. This time he felt it wasn't just some dream of a seventeen year old kid.

--

The handsome wood door flew open and Naruto rushed inside. The room appeared to be an office. In it there were several book cases and a large desk that sat in front of a huge widow in the center of the room. The desk had a golden haired woman whose hands were clasped together in front of her face. She was unaffected by the sudden invasion of the room but when her eyes looked upon the excited boys face she winced grinding her teeth which was masked by her hands.

“Where is he Grandma Tsunade I want to see him? Is he okay? Is he taller then me now, no wait don't answer, I'll find out on my own I just want to know where he is.” Naruto had a large grin on his face unable to contain his looked up from behind her hands her face held the same hurt look as Kakashi's eyes.

“He is with the council still... they have a lot to prepare him for.” The words slowly fell out of her mouth dropping on to the desk as if they weighed more the the entire building.

“Still you can't tell me they're actually considering imprisoning him.” Naruto slammed his hands down on her desk his expression had changed to a slightly angry one. Tsunade shook her head.

“No, they have no intention of imprisoning him.” Her words came out slowly and seemed froced.

“Then what are they doing to him what is taking so long.” Naruto began to pace, he was becoming impatient and worried which showed in the way he moved.

“Last night the council appointed Suaske the next….The sixth Hokage.” Tears filled her eyes as her vocie weakend and she strained to finish her sentence. Naruto stopped dead in his tracks. He stared at the wall in front of him. His face paled from the sudden shock. He felt heat move up and down his body as his head began to spin and his heart started to throb.

“That's great. Maybe this will help him settle down.” Tears ran down Naruto's face as he tried to keep his voice steady. He clenched his fist tightly as crimson began to drip from his knuckles.

“Naruto I'm sorry this wasn't my deci-.” Tsunade was interrupted by Naruto who bowed quickly.

“Thank you for your help.” Naruto turned and quickly moved toward the door.

“Wait Naruto!” Tsunade called to Naruto but he ignored her and continued out the door.

--

Naruto dragged his feet up the stairs as he moved toward the wooden door. He arms felt heavy and his head band was now in his hand it felt to heavy to leave to ware. He reached for the door knob just as he heard the beautiful voice of the only one who could make things better.

“Naruto.” Sakura's voice slightly shook as she called to him. He turned to her and ran down the stairs embracing her as tightly as he could. He pulled her away and examined her face. She was looking to the side trying to avoid his glance.

“I'm so glade to see you. You would not believe my….What's wrong.” Naruto gripped her chin and gentle lifted her face so he could see her. Her eyes were filled with tears as she extended her hand and from it dropped a blue stone that was attached to a chain. The same one Tsunade had given him and he had given to her on their first date.

“We... are over Naruto. I was only with you because I thought I would never see Saskue again. You were the next best choice so, I thought I could be with you, but now that Saskues come back I can't do this any more.” Narutowas stunned by her sudden declaration as he took the necklace. "I can't lie to you, I care for you to much, but I love Sasuke so that dosen't leave much room for me and you now that he is home." The Necklace slipped through his hand and into a drain below their feet which did not phaze him. “I'm sorry Naruto I'm, just so sorry.” Tears began to stream down her face as she gripped his arm and then quickly ran away. Naruto slowly moved back up the stairs and turned the door knob to his home. He entered his bedroom and collapsed on the floor curling up in the a ball and laid there until his mind collapsed into a cold sleep.

--

Naruto opened his eyes unsure of what had awoken him. He sat up rubbing his head which felt as though someone had driven an axe through. He then heard Knocking at the door which would explain his sudden rousing. He thought about not answering it, about just letting it pass by. He stood and without being sure why he moved to the door and wrapped his fingers around the Knob. He opened the door slowly and found an anbu standing on the other side. Without a word the anbu handed Naruto a headband that had been cut in half. "You were the closest thing he had to family, I was instructed to give this to you by the council" the Anbu then quickly vanished leaving only smoke in his examined the head band rubbing his hand along the cut edged as he sat on his bed. Tears welled up in his eyes as he threw the head band a cross the room and put his face in his hands as he began to sob.

“Why is this happening to me? First my dream, then my love, and now ….IIIrrukaaa!” He began to breathe hard almost hyper ventilating as red chakra engulfed his body. His sobbing grew hard tuning into muffled screams as he fell from the bed onto his knees. He wretched back and let out a scream which made the chakra leap off his body. He fell back to the floor on his knees and elbows but then wretched back a second time letting out a scream that caused the chakra to explode from his body shattering the windows of his room. A woman passing by the apartment fell to her knees as the scream permeated the silent night. She looked up quickly as soon as the screaming stopped and caught a glimpse of red chakra bursting from the window like a violent blast of fire. Later that evening after the event was reported several Anbu investigated the house. They found no trace of Naruto... only a large round burn mark on the floor.
