Naruto stood in the training grounds across from Sakura and Tsunade. He had a grin on his face as he noticed the slightly apprehensive looks on their faces.

"Alright, let's get this started! I really want to leave this worthless village as soon as possible!" Both Sakura and Tsunade flinched at how Naruto referred to Konoha, the same village just hours ago he would've wanted to protect with his life.

Sakura opened her mouth to respond, but was interrupted by a poof of smoke.

"Hmm, what do we have here?" Kakashi asked as the smoke cleared.

"It doesn't concern you Kakashi-sensei." Naruto answered. Kakashi was one of the few people in this village that Naruto would still protect with his life. The copy ninja was one of Naruto's most precious people and he had no desire to hurt him.

"We're trying to keep Naruto from leaving the village." Sakura said quietly. "If we beat him, he's agreed to stay. If we lose, he's going to leave the village forever and we're not allowed to send anyone after him."

Kakahi's visible eye widened in shock. Naruto leaving the village? That didn't seem right. Before he could question more, Naruto's crazed laughter rang through the air.

"Oh look how sad poor Sakura-chan is! What a victim she is that now both of her teammates are abandoning the village. Don't you feel bad for her sensei? What ever did such a sweet an innocent girl to deserve such a fate?" Naruto mocked. Sakura lowered her head as tears started pooling in her eyes.

"Naruto that's no way to speak to a teammate." Kakashi chided. He couldn't believe Naruto's words.

"Teammate? Oh she's not my teammate Kakashi. She's my supposed master." Naruto grinned sadistically.

Kakashi looked between Naruto and Sakura with a confused look on his face.

"Confused? Let me tell you about my day so far sensei, it's been such a wonderful day. Really, one for the ages!" Naruto's voice was dripping with sarcasm. Kakashi noted from the corner of his eye that both Tsunade and Sakura dropped their heads in shame.

"So it all started when Sakura-chan here saw me using my sexy jutsu."

Kakashi slapped his forehead. "Let me guess, she got mad and bopped you on the head? You know that's how she reacts to that Naruto, don't leave the village because of something so minor."

Naruto grinned. "Oh I'm used to Sakura hitting me, but she stepped her game up this time. She knocked me out, tied me up, then tortured me with her feet when I woke up until I passed out."

"Oh..." That wasn't what Kakashi had expected. He threw Sakura a dissapointed look. "Sakura I taught you to treat your teammates better than that."

"It gets better sensei! So I wake up, and Sakura is acting all nice. She tells me to make it up to me for torturing me with her feet, she'll go on a date with me!"

Kakashi smiled. That sounded more like one of his students.

"But before we could go on a date, Sakura said I had to sign something in blood. She wouldn't tell me what it is, she just said she wanted to see how much I trusted her." Naruto continued, his crazed grin was still on his face, but his eyes couldn't hide his pain.

Suddenly Naruto's words rang through Kakashi's mind.

"Sakura...you didn't..."

"Yep!" Naruto quipped. "What I signed was a contract that made me Sakura's slave. She used my feelings for her to strip me of my humanity and dreams. But it gets better sensei, it gets better."

"Sakura was laughing at my predicament...laughing. I thought we were at least friends..but nope. So I went to Baa-chan here to get her to tell Sakura she couldn't enslave me. But here's the kicker...IT WAS THE OLD HAG's IDEA!!"

"What??" Kakashi yelled in surprise. Kakashi never yelled, but he hadn't seen that coming. Tsunade had always cared about Naruto and respected him.

"Yep, she told me I was a idiot, a terrible ninja...what else...Oh, that I would be a terrible Hokage, and this next one's really good, she told me the only reason I've accomplished anything is from relying on the Kyubi. She even said I got my determination from the Kyubi! Then she had the nerve to put a collar seal on me that would allow Sakura to hurt me when I disobeyed and even seal my chakra if she wanted to. Then the old bitch told me I was inferior.."

"ARE YOU TWO FUCKING STUPID??!" Kakashi yelled at Tsunade and Sakura. For once in his life, Kakashi was losing his cool.

"Not only is Naruto's strength vital to the safety of this village, he should be a precious person to you both. Why the fuck would you do that?"

"Kakashi I'm still the Hokage!" Tsunade defended, not quite enjoying being scolded by one of her subordinates.

"You are." Kakashi replied calmly. "But apparently you are unfit for your position if you really were stupid enough to allow for our village's most powerful ninja, and one of the last remaining jinchuriki to have his chakra sealed. Naruto is a big reason no one is attacking Konoha right now, they remember his strength from the war. If Naruto's chakra were sealed, the other villages would have one less reason not to attack us."

Tsunade dropped her head in shame. Kakashi was right.

"We known no sensei." Sakura replied sadly. "But now keeping him as my slave is the only way we're going to keep him in the village."
