"Akatsuki!" Naruto hissed out, immediately on guard, but the orange masked man only held up a single finger to his mask. 

"Shhhh. I'm not here to capture you, I'm here to recruit you." This made Naruto falter for a second, his eyes narrowed. 

"And why would I want to help you gather the tailed beast, knowing that I have a tailed beast inside of me?" 

"It's funny, every word you just said was wrong." The masked man said with an amused undertone to it. "I actually need you to help to get rid of the Akatsuki." 

"And how do I know this isn't a trap? That this isn't some ploy to capture me?" 

"I'm the leader of the organization, if I wanted to capture you, I would've done it when your precious Sasuke almost killed you." Naruto averted his eyes from the man. He was right, he could've just taken him while he was weak, not when he was recovering. 

"How would I be of use? I lost my right arm. I can't even use hand signs anymore." He said in a depressing tone. 

"I can replace your arm, and your eyes. Both of them would give you a great power boost. I would train you and make you strong. Konoha has failed you boy, no one loves or cares about your well being except for three people, and even then, they would put the village over you any day." 

"That's not true!" Naruto yelled at the masked man, trying to fight off the inevitable truth. 

"Then why did that Sakura girl only care about the Uchiha boy when you came back? Not you? Even when you were all bloodied? Why did that poor excuse of a teacher Kakashi neglect you? Or why did one of the Sannin throw you off a cliff? So you could activate the Kyuubi's chakra? Don't make me laugh, what would've happened if you didn't do anything? You would've died." 

"This place doesn't care about you. While you were fighting Neji, the crowds were hoping he would hit your heart with the Gentle Fist, hoping that you would stop breathing, treating you like trash! How come the Third Hokage only gave you a crappy apartment that was in the Red Light District? Especially when you're supposed to be treated like royalty!" 

"What? Why?" Naruto asked in a confused voice, his hurt tone lacing his words as tears welled up in his eyes. 

"You mean you don't know?" The masked man said, peering at the boy with his one eye. "They didn't tell you? How predictable of them. Naruto, you are the son of Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage!" He declared, making Naruto's eyes widen. 

"N-no, that's, it can't be, jiji would've, no." 

"You know it's true, you're the spitting image of him. Yellow spiky hair, bright blue eyes, how could people not tell? Why would they keep it from you?" He asked, his eyebrow raised under his mask. 

"Why? Why did they not tell me? Shouldn't I've known? Everyone said my parents were unknown!" Naruto screamed, tears falling freely down his face. 

"Because they think that you didn't deserve to know. Like I said, they treat you like trash, but I won't treat you like trash. I'll teach you, train you, make you my equal, so you'll be able to level a whole village by yourself. Then, together, we can take down the disease that's Akatsuki and fix this fucked up world." 

"I, I, want to join you, but, on one condition." Naruto spoke softly and slowly. 

"And that is?" 

"You give me two days, two days to see if anyone really cares about me. If they do, I stay, if they don't, I go with you." The masked man nodded. 

"Those are acceptable terms. In two days time, I'll be waiting at the top of the Hokage Mountain, if you're not there by the end of the day, then that means you chose to stay." He said before he was sucked up in a vortex, leaving Naruto to himself. 

Two medic nins came into the room. "Be quiet! All of your screaming is disturbing the other patients you brat!" One of them yelled. 

"Stupid kid." The other one muttered before they slammed his door shut, leaving him alone again. 

"Maybe he was right." Naruto muttered as he stood up, struggling to put on a pair of his orange pants, which was a huge struggle due to the missing arm. He put one leg in the whole and went to put the other leg in, but tripped and fell on his stump of an arm. 

"Ah fuck!" He winced in pain. He then heard a knock on the door. "Wait please, I'm getting dressed." 

"I heard someone hit the ground hard, are you okay?" 

"Not really, but I'll get over it." Naruto shouted as he barely pulled his pants up on both legs before he opened the door, revealing an Anbu with a Lion's mask. 

"Naruto Uzumaki, the Council has summon and you are required to attend." Naruto sighed. 

"I'll be there when I can get my shirt on." The Anbu nodded before disappearing in a shushin. He put on the shirt a little bit easier than his pants, before he eventually got to the Council room where he knocked on the door, and was let in my some Anbu. 

He stood at attention, his own arm pinned to his side. "I've been requested?" A man wrapped in bandages nodded. 

"Yes, it seems like you were the one to fight Sasuke Uchiha at the Valley of the End, is that correct?" Naruto nodded. "Then you were the one who let him get away?" Naruto's eyes widened. 

"No, I didn't let him get away, I tried everything I could! I even used the Kyuubi's chakra when he switched-" 

"You used the Kyuubi's chakra? Tsunade-sama, maybe we should check to see if the seal is weakening." 

"It's. Not." Naruto said through gritted teeth. "Like I was saying, Sasuke turned grey and his hair grew longer and he had these weird wing things from the Curse Mark. And I wasn't trying to use lethal force to bring him back, you wanted the Uchiha back alive right?" 

"That is correct." A nameless councilmen said. 

"He had no restrictions like I did." Naruto replied. 

"That is no reason for you to get an attitude Uzumaki." Hiashi Hyuga said, narrowing his pale white eyes at the boy. "The main purpose for us being here is that you failed a high priority mission, meaning that the injuries my nephew Neji Hyuga, Choji Akimichi, and Kiba Inuzuka, were for nothing." 

"If you haven't notice Hyuga-san, I'm a cripple now. I'm just a civilian." 

"A civilian who knows how to wield chakra and also happens to the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki, Konoha's prized weapon." Danzo said, his one eye gleaming at the blonde haired boy. "And now, you're free to leave Konoha without any consequences, how do we know that you won't spread our secrets?" Naruto's eyes widened. 

"I would never betray the Leaf, it's my home!" 

"A home that's treated you like trash." A voice echoed in his head with the same voice as the Akatsuki leader. 

"You should be imprisoned so you don't go around the shinobi nations and give them more power than us!" A civilian shouted, getting nods of agreements from the others. 

"Silence, that's enough for now. Naruto Uzumaki, you are hereby forbidden to leave the Village Hidden in the Leaves for as long as you live, under penalty of death." Tsunade declared, her eyes steeled as she watched Naruto's face turn to one of shock and betrayal. "Now, will everyone leave the boy alone? He can't leave the village anymore, so no worries." 

"This is acceptable." Danzo said, getting nods from the other elders. 

"Good, Naruto, you are dismissed." Naruto left the room in shock. He couldn't leave the village? Ever? Even when he was old? His home was now his prison. 

While he was walking down the street, he didn't notice an angry girl with teal colored eyes and long blonde hair storming up to him. He looked up as she stomped right in front of him. 

"Oh, hey-" He began his greeting, but was cut off by a harsh slap to the face. 

"How dare you? You got Choji and Shikamaru hurt! They're hurt because of you!" She yelled before kneeing him in the stomach, causing him to fall to his knees before she punched him in the face, making his lip start to bleed. "You're just what everyone says you are, a heartless monster!" That was the biggest blow to him yet.  

"Finally, the Yamanaka gets it," A civilian man yelled out before smirking and hurling a tomato at the boy, making it explode on his head. The other civilians began joining in on the fun, throwing random items that they could find at Naruto, all while he curled up in a ball, trying to cover his head with his one arm, tears running down his face. 

He finally stood up and began running in a random direction, trying to avoid the objects thrown at him the best he could. 

He finally stopped in the middle of the woods, his eyes drifting down to his arm stump, covering with tomatoes and all types of other liquids, a glare burning deep into it. 

He hated this. Hated it all. Nothing could make him happy. Nothing...unless. Naruto grinned, though it wasn't of happiness, it was one of someone who's lost a lot. 

He's made his decision. 

And done. Was it good? Bad? Tell me. 

I'm really liking the way this story is going. I still don't have an idea for the pairing yet though, not Konan, I have plans for her, nothing romantic, just, plans, ya know? 

Anyways, yeah. 

Til next time my lil demons!
