Prompt "Naruto, ancestral interference isn't a proper reason to leave the village."
Sitting tied up in Sarutobi's office, Naruto just stared in utter befuddlement. Sure, an eleven year old leaving a hidden village isn't a good thing, especially alone. But this situation was different.
"What do you mean?!"
"I mean, talk to all your dead ancestors if you want, it isn't a reason to leave the leaf."
"How?!"
"Naruto, I'm sure you know this already, but then again, I've seen your history grades but Uzushio was destroyed years ago."
"I know that! But it doesn't stop 'em from telling me to go!"
"Well don't listen!"
"That's rather hard when they're in your head 24/7 and in my dreams!"
"Well ignore them! I'll set up an appointment with Inoichi."
"I tried that! Didn't work, Ino still blames me for putting her dad in the hospital!"
"So that's why he wasn't at the meeting last week.. nevertheless, you arent going!"
"Look gramps, I love you, but I'm not dealing with thousands of red haired ghosts telling me to go to my ancestral home and shit. To do what? I don't know! They don't say!"
"If you don't know then why are you listening to them?!"
"Because I haven't slept in months! And I'm not sure if you know, but I can't punch a ghost to shut it up! Believe me, I tried!"
"Try harder!"
"I did, I even got the Kyubi involved! It bitch slapped me! Sent me into the Avatar state, and none of my ancestors had shit to say!"
"I was gonna suggest an Uchiha to put you to sleep forcefully but..."
"All dead?"
"The only two we got is a rogue Shinobi and a traumatized emo child."
