Things Change [Naruto AU]

4

Naruto used complex hand signs and broke the seal, of course he used some of the nine tails chakra to do so. Inside the room were scrolls filled with information on the village, enemies, even the neighboring villages and high rank ninja. There he searched for scrolls on the nine tails and Fourth Hokage. Sasuke searched for scrolls on the Sharingan and other Uchiha. Sakura decided to look for scrolls on her clan as well. After a few minutes Naruto found the scrolls he needed. While reading them Sakura found a scroll of her clan and read it as well. Sasuke took longer but eventually found a couple about the Sharingan and his clan.

Naruto closed the scrolls he found and put them in his bag. 'So what the nine tails told me was true.' He sighed. While Sakura was reading her scroll she dropped it and stared at it as if it were a repulsive creature. It caught Naruto's attention.

"What's wrong?" He asked. Sakura stared at him before answering.

"My family... they... I can't... I'm sorry, Naruto." She said softly looking down at her feet. Naruto gathered the scroll she was reading and put it inside his bag as well. Sasuke was still reading with hateful eyes and was learning more of the Sharingan, a power level he had never heard or seen of before. What angered him more was that his sensei and older brother had this power and were choosing not to tell him.

Naruto suddenly became alert. "Sasuke, Sakura, we have to leave." He said urgently. Sasuke kept the scrolls and put them inside a bag that he had brought as well. The three fled and tried to use the cover of night but failed and were noticed by a certain ninja. The ninja pursued them while they used their efforts to tire and lose the ninja. They eventually stopped at the gate and met with their stalker. It wasn't a shock but they still gasped.

"Kakashi Sensei..." Sakura whispered. What they had done was unforgivable, they had learned of things that the village kept secret. If they had taken more scrolls and planned to do something with them then the village would be in grave danger but Kakashi was aware that their intent was not to harm the village, well not yet, and wished to here them talk.

"You didn't tell me." Sasuke stated and glared at his teacher. He knew exactly what Sasuke was talking about.

"It was for your own good, your parents and brother decided that it would be too much power for you to have." He said while the young teen scoffed.

"You didn't tell me either." Naruto said with anger. From reading the scroll he also knew that he was the son of the Fourth Hokage and while Kakashi knew as well he still did nothing to help or tell him.

"It was for the safety of the village." The gray haired ninja sighed. It wasn't a good explanation but it was one he had been told to say. Naruto glared before turning and walking away. Sasuke followed Naruto as well after giving a side glance to his now former teacher. Sakura stood still first and then followed the boys. She turned around to ask the ninja one last question.

"Are you going to stop us?" She asked, the boys stopped and listened as well.

"No, you can leave but remember you will now be enemies of the leaf and will be considered as missing ninjas." Sakura nodded and turned away and started to follow one of the roads out of the village. Heavy panting was soon heard.

"Naruto! What about your dream?" It was Iruka. The blonde turned to his former teacher as well.

"My dream? It's dead now. My new dream will be to find the truth for those who need it. I will not lie such as you two ninjas before me. I will bring a new age, I will bring the Akatsuki." Naruto said with a cold gleam in his eye. He stared at them before jumping off into the trees, Uchiha and Haruno followed as well.

'The Akatsuki, hmm... has a nice ring to it.' Sasuke thought as the wind pushed against his hair and face.
