Tsunade's P.O.V.

 I groggily lifted my head off of my desk while peeling drool covered pieces of paper from my face. 

"Sleep good Mylady?" I jumped at the unexpected question. 

"Yes I did...thank you Shizune." I said nodding in response.Thankfully she prepared coffee for us both.I gratefully accepted the large mug and started chugging.Pausing briefly I felt a strange presence.

 It was definitely not friendly that much I could tell. 

"Shizune?" . "Y-yes ma'am?" 

 "Do you feel that aura?"

 Searching around she stood with a perplexed expression that soon turned to unsettled.   "Something's not right..."

  As if on cue ,a furious looking Naruto burst through the door with a scared Konohamaru in tow. 

"What is it Naruto?" I questioned with a quiver of worry in my voice.

  I have a bad feeling about this... 

"...is it true granny.Could the hidden leaf really stoop so low as to do such a thing." Curious to what he meant I gave him a puzzled look.

 "...Uchiha Itachi." It felt like my blood froze within my veins. 

 He knows?! 

   Who the hell told him!No one alive is supposed to know about that but me and Jiraiya! shit..shit..shit... 

On the outside I tried to keep my composure but my face betrayed me. "I-I don't know what you mean." 

"Cut the crap Tsunade-san."

 I almost spit my coffee out by how serious Naruto sounded.Judging by the look in his eyes and the anger radiating off him , I knew he wouldn't back down until he had answers.Sighing loudly I rubbed my face as if to wipe the sleepiness off. I looked over at Shizune who was cowering in fear at the infuriated boy.

  "Naruto...I have no control over the past Hokages decisions and mistakes."

 Naruto P.O.V.

 I clenched my fists at what Tsunade said.For some reason I couldn't just shake off my anger and frustration.

This village...I had sacrificed so much for it.I've done the impossible by dying and coming back just to protect them.

       What the hell was I really protecting?

Was this just one incident of many...

The village that despised my existence...yet everyone I love and admired called this place home.These people didn't deserve such devotion and good hearted ninja to cover their asses.

  Grinding my teeth I thought of all the hateful words and abuse I endured just to keep the peace.

After peins attack I wasn't treated as badly but I could see they still didn't trust me.

I've lived in the shadow of that damn fox my whole life.I loved this place like a home.It's all I've ever known yet

 ...I hated it.I hated the villagers for blaming me for what I couldn't control.

     For treating me like trash and making my life hell.

I finally understand now...I know why you hated this places existence.I don't blame you...

                            Sasuke

  I didn't realize how close I had gotten to the desk until my hands slammed down making papers clutter the floor. 

"I am leaving..." 

 I could see the pain in her eyes but it couldn't be helped.I had to get Sasuke back before it was too late.Maybe since he got revenge he will finally come to his senses.Leaning my head down to stare at the floor I tried to refrain from just screaming out. 

"I..I can't do this anymore Grandma Tsunade.I am not gonna stand by when I can do something about this.I know you think it's hopeless but...I WON'T EVER GIVE UP ON HIM!" I shouted letting all my anger poor into my words.

  I pulled back once I saw the look of panic on her face.I felt a slight tug at my shirt and looked toward the cause. 

 "U-u-hmm...Brother Naruto...?"   Konohamaru questioned nervously. 

  Grabbing onto the mirror sitting atop Tsunades' desk I jolted back.Losing my grip the loud shatter broke the deathly silence in the room.Without noticing my rage had brought some of Kumara's chakra out.

  My whiskers had become more bold and the iris of my eyes shone blood red.I took in a few breaths in and out to calm myself.

     Turning around I still kept my eyes to the floor.

I had two choices: 

  Stay with the people who care instead of chasing someone who obviously doesn't give a crap...  Or attempt to rebuild my first bond and get back the one person who understands me. 

".I...I am sorry."  

  These were my last words before I ran out the door taking hold of Konohamaru's arm.Determination flooded through my legs as I took off through the large building.I could hear the cries and shouts of my name but blocked them all out.Willing my feet to move faster I sprinted toward the abandoned complex.

  As I made my way toward my run down apartment I could hear Konohamaru complaining but didn't stop.

 Bursting through the front door I slammed it shut.After forming several hand signs two shadow clones materialized to gather my belongings. 

"What's going on Naruto?" I looked at the scared boy with sympathy.

 I can't drag him into this anymore. 

  "Konohamaru...could you do me one last favor?" Tilting his head he nodded a yes.

Digging through discarded clothes and old scrolls; I pulled out four letters from the wreckage I call my room. "Could you please give these out?" 

 I thanked the clones and released them while throwing the bag over my shoulder.Ruffling Konohamarus' hair one last time I got down to his level. Placing the envelopes in his small hands I chuckled.

  "Don't get in too much trouble while I am gone will yah?"   The little boy sniffled and grabbed me into a bone-crushing hug.

 Sighing, I pulled away from him while flashing my signature grin. 

"Hey..cheer up!This isn't the last you've seen of Naruto Uzumaki!" I joked.

  Stretching out my fist I waited for him to meet me all the way.Soon a small grin forced it's way on his face as his knuckles collided with mine.
