Chapter 4

Two weeks had passed since Enel's fall and Skypiea had entered a peaceful time once again. Naruto was hailed as a hero and a city was planned that looked like Konoha from the drawings Naruto had made in his free time reminiscing of his home.

Naruto didn't know of the plan as he didn't understand what they were doing and he was busy learning the language and polishing his control.

Time had certainly made him calm down and he could understand more about why Nagato chose this method. But he didn't give up and was working his way up to creating a skill to bring him back home as he already knew that space time ninjutsu was possible.

"Have you come to beg for power or is it knowledge you seek?" The sarcastic voice rang inside the tunnel as Naruto walked towards the gate

"I seek forgiveness for my hypocrisy, will you grant it?" Naruto replied as he stood outside the gates that held back the Kyuubi

Kurama was taken aback by his words and laughed, "Do you take me as a fool? I am no animal boy. My intellect surpasses your kind by magnitudes so if you think of me as foolish being then you will suffer the consequences."

"I do not lie, it is the truth. I would love to set you free to prove my point but I do not have the key to see you free without killing myself or the power to stop you if you cause havoc." Naruto said in a friendly tone

"So you want me to forgive you for being the scum like the rest of your kind, is it? I forgive you but what will it change. You will no longer feel guilty about your hypocrisy so the answer is no. NOW GET OUT." Kurama responded with malicious intent that bombarded Naruto making him breathless as the killer intent was palpable

Naruto opened his eyes and sighed as he knew that it won't be easy.

'Slowly I will break him down. I can't expect everything to be easy and this problem is very old, before even my parents lived. The Kyuubi is also the only one who could show me the way.' Naruto thought as he got up and walked to the house that was built for him and Konan, which was near the beach

----------------------

"Naruto, do you really have to go? Can't you stay for a year at least?" Conis asked in sad tone as she saw Naruto enter the house. She was visiting and bring some food, she had made.

Naruto had mentioned that he would leave tomorrow so she was feeling sad as he was her first friend and she didn't when she could see him again.

"I will return once in a while and keep in contact through that strange thing." Naruto replied with smile and he mentioned the snail like telephone

"Conis, I am looking for something important. It will decide my fate and the fate of my home so I need to journey around the world for it." Naruto replied in an indirect manner without giving away his alien heritage

Conis stopped her words as she heard his response, she knew that Naruto was feeling sad and gloomy but she didn't expect that it was this serious.

'Can I even help him? Should I just watch him go like this? He might not even come back. The world is dangerous down there that it's worse than Enel.'

"I want to come along as your chef, please." Conis requested as she wanted to follow her friend and see the world for herself. She wanted to grow stronger and not wait for a hero to save her like now.

Naruto looked at her and many thoughts passed through his head. Conis was his first friend in this new land and his other companions were Konan and Enel, not the best companions a guy could ask.

'I can protect her even if something went awry; send her back with a clone if there is trouble.' Naruto was more confident about his powers as he believed now he could beat the paths of pain without much difficulty as he had learned to control nature much more skillfully so that his attacks were hard to predict and wind was everywhere.

"Okay but you will have to follow my rules." Naruto responded and Conis was hugging him in excitement, not allowing him to continue

------------------

"You know that he won't listen so why don't you dispose of him already." Konan asked as she sat on a chair and looked at the chained Enel

"It is to remind you that you are being naïve as not everyone will listen, not even if you are stronger than them. But let's see if you can continue doing what you have done till now and I will be convinced that I was wrong and I will stop."

Naruto nodded and looked at Enel, "So this is the last day in Skypiea, have you thought of anything good to say to the people?"

"Burn in fire you heathens for this disrespect." Enel muttered through clenched teeth as he stared at him hatefully

Naruto face palmed and slapped Enel that his brain must have rattled, "What did I tell you last time, Enel? No bad words now will you be a good boy or not."

Konan was smiling as she the exchange; it was amusing and different from the norm that she was used to.

'It's nice seeing the boy handle frustration, will he break or not is the question.'

Enel stared at him without saying a word while Naruto grabbed him by the neck and stared into his eyes, "Now listen here you scum, I have not forgiven you and I am only letting you live to atone for your sins. If you become more than you are worth, I will kill you so don't take this so casually like you will be set free without consequences."

Naruto controlled himself but even he had his limits and the constant use of Sage mode has made him more sėnsɨtɨvė to the people along with other benefits.

"We will be leaving tomorrow and our path will most likely be dangerous so cooperate because if you cause any trouble that passes my limits, I will cripple you and you will be stuck in some place as a vegetable." Naruto warned and left as he left Enel in the wind cage allowing him to eat while leaving four clones for control
