The Story of Menma (джен)

Naruto is a missing-nin, Iruka is dead and nothing is okay. The only one on his side is the 40ft tall demon fox sealed inside him, but for all that Kurama's grumpy, he's pretty good company. The ANBU are after him, too--apparently Konoha doesn't plan on letting go of its jinchuuriki. That's fine. He can take them. Well, maybe 'run away from' is more accurate. And the ANBU have wood release. And the sharingan. That's also fine. He'll manage.
Naruto is his mother's son, his father's legacy, and Konoha's mistake. But that was never enough to stop him before. He'll forge his own path. He'll make his own mistakes. No one will tell him what to do—not the Fourth Hokage, not the old man, the ANBU or the village.
Naruto will carve out his place in the world. And if he loses something along the way, maybe that's okay.
