Summary: Two boys born of sinful union find love in each other, but first they must grow up to become notorious ninjas of the village hidden the leaves. Love, death, birth and lies will be forever intertwined within their destinies. Will they survive long enough to find happiness?


Chapter Warning:
I changed some of the characters around; their teams. Here’s what you need to know: Team Maito Gai- Akimichi Chouji, Rock Lee and Hyuga Hinata are all older… now I bet you can’t wait to know what the teams are organized like… kukuku. I’m going to change this chapter from Sasuke centric to multiple characters’ POV(S). There is also a fight scene in this chapter.


Main Pairing (Seme/Uke): Sasuke/Naruto

Side pairings:


CHAPTER TWO – The Future of Konoha

The Academy

Naruto had failed. He sat on the swing looking forlornly at his shoes trying his hardest to suppress his sobs. It wasn’t so much that he didn’t have the skills, no it was that the Academy teachers had refused to administer the test to him, even with Shikamaru’s uncharacteristic loud complaints. Shikamaru had been hauled away from consoling Naruto by his father, who wished to celebrate Shika’s success with his mother, something Shikamaru had nearly fainted in horror from. Shikamaru was absolutely terrified of his troublesome mother. So there Naruto sat, letting his happiness die. He would be alone again. Horribly alone.


Later that Night

Mizuki was running from his pursuers chuckling at his clever ploy. The scroll of forbidden seals was strapped to his back. However, luck was not with him this night, Iruka had caught wind of Mizuki and was after him like a terrier on a rodent ready to kill Mizuki. Fury pounded in the teacher’s veins making his speed eclipse that of the ANBU. So it was true, Mizuki had really been the traitor and had killed Iruka’s closest friend, not some foreign ninja. Catching sight on Mizuki, Iruka headed the other Chuunin off, blocking his path. Mizuki chuckled “Why isn’t it little Iruka-Chan.”

“Shut up you traitor.” Iruka yelled. Not far away a sulking boy with golden hair heard this with his inhuman hearing accompanied by the sickening smell of blood.

Iruka took a Shuriken to the stomach, Mizuki moved in for the kill as Iruka struggled weakly to stand. Mizuki launched another Shuriken aiming for Iruka’s heart. Out of no where the Kyuubi vessel appeared catching the Shuriken an inch in front of Iruka’s face, he has moved at unprecedented speeds. “I don’t take kindly to those who betray other’s trust.” The boy growled. Mizuki looked a boy in shock and then a cruel smile spread across his lips.

“Naruto, do you know why the village hates? There is a law—“

“A law never to tell me I am the Kyuubi no Kitsune right?” Iruka and Mizuki looked at the boy dumb founded, Naruto looked up his eyes shinning with a primal light and a one tomb Sharingan in his eyes “You know they’re somewhat right. You see, I am not the Kyuubi no Kitsune, but that makes me no less of a demon. I am not the demon who killed the citizens and ninja of Konoha… However when the Yondaime placed the Kyuubi within me with a seal to integrate our chakra, he did not know it would change my genetic somewhat. I am ½ demon, my purple eyes are a testament to that. Mizuki I will kill you.”

“Really, why? Don’t you hate the village, don’t you want revenge for the injustices served to you.” Mizuki said.

“No.” Naruto said shortly, but continued, “If I wanted to kill the innocent, kill the people who suffered from a horrific event and yet could not find any other way other than to hurt the embodiment of their suffering to relieve them of their tormenting pain… then I would truly he a monster. I understand their pain, I understand their fear and suffering, I too lost people to that monster. I have no parents, I have no one to care for me, to teach me or even love me… I am alone in this world. I too hate the Kyuubi, but the Kyuubi is not me. Sometimes I do hate village as it is only natural. However I see humanity like no one else does. I understand their insecurities, their fear, and their hopes for acceptance… I am just like them. I am human… yet the Kyuubi feels the same pain I do so I do not condemn their actions. You want to know a secret… I too hurt the Kyuubi.” Naruto said this as he rolled up his sleeve showing off his many self inflicted scars. Iruka watched this exchange with wide eyes that grew even wider as he saw Naruto’s scars.

‘He is also alone.’ Iruka thought.

“You want to know something, Mizuki because of every thing I have born witness too. The thing that I hate the most is those who use others, who betray other’s trust and those who hurt others for pleasure… and you Mizuki, have committed all three. And for justice to be served. I will kill you!” Naruto roared. In a split second Naruto was gone as powerful round house kick was administered to Mizuki before he disappeared again. Mizuki felt several ribs break making it hard for him to breathe. He spat up blood. Quickly he performed the Bushin, but Naruto hit the real Mizuki.

“That was stupid… I can see through your illusions. I do not know how I have it, but it seems I have the Sharingan.” Mizuki staggered back as Kunai pierced his shoulder lodging in it so deep that the point stretched his skin almost to the breaking point in his back. Naruto disappeared again. Mizuki was knocked off of his feet. His own Shuriken was buried in his gut. There was a war cry of ‘Kage bushin no jutsu’, a technique Naruto had learned from a missing ninja before Naruto had killed the traitorous Chuunin. The clearing was surrounded by thousands upon thousands of Narutos. Several Narutos crouched around a startled Iruka-sensei as he attempted to heal himself. A second comma appeared in Naruto’s eyes. He duplicated Iruka’s healing method and pumped more power into it as he forced Iruka’s body to regenerate at unheard of speeds.

Meanwhile a thousands of Kunai where launched a Mizuki followed by a small Kanton, which by sheer number performed turned into a roaring fire the spiraled upwards to the heavens where Mizuki once stood. All that was left of the traitor were dry brittle bones. The fire immediately was extinguished and the Naruto who was healing Iruka’s wounds slumped forwards from Chakra exhaustion, his Sharingan fading from his eyes.

Signaled by the fire, the ANBU arrived. Picking up the scroll and the unconscious boy as well as very indignant fully healed Iruka they made their way to Hokage’s tower to report. The ANBU left the room as Iruka gave his report. After a short description of the fight, Iruka asked the Hokage “Who were Naruto’s parents?”

“No one important. Why do you ask?”

“They were definitely important, Hokage-sama he has the Sharingan.”

The Hokage stiffened for a moment before sighing. “Iruka this does not leave this office and Naruto… you might as well stop pretending you’re asleep.” Naruto eeped and shot up taking a seat next to Iruka. “This is an S-class secret, so Naruto this doesn’t leave this room, no one, not even Sasuke should know about this… Naruto you’re father was Arashi Kazama and his mother, Mikoto Uchiha—“

“So he’s Sasuke brother!” Iruka exclaimed.

“No, Sasuke’s mother was not Mikoto, but Karei Kazama, his father was Fugaku Uchiha. He would be third or fourth cousin of Sasuke’s. Here.” The third said handing Naruto his letter from his mother. After reading it and rereading it several times tears pulled in Naruto’s eyes. He launched himself to the nearest person, who just happened to be a startled Iruka.

Iruka didn’t pull away. To the contraire, he pulled Naruto further into his embrace as he whispered, “Naruto thank you for saving my life. You’re a truly magnificent ninja.” He kissed the top of Naruto’s head cradling the petite boy as he rocked him back and forth. Slowly Naruto stopped crying and his eyelids closed. Iruka turned to the third Hokage and said, “I’d like to pass Naruto. He certainly proved he’d make and excellent ninja. He’s loyal, kind, understanding and willing to help those even though they hate him… Also Hokage-sama if I can gain Naruto’s trust and acceptance… I would like to adopt him…” remembering Naruto’s self inflicted wounds he said, “He is so alone and he hurts himself to take away the pain.”

Sarutobi looked startled for a moment before saying, “Iruka, I’m moving Naruto into the Kazama household. I need you to go live with him… I don’t want him to hurt himself anymore.”

“Hai, Hokage-sama.” He looked down at the slumbering boy in his arms, “I will certainly do that.”

“Oh and Iruka ask him where he learned the Kage Bushin, I have a sneaking suspicion he and his friends have been secretly helping the Hunter Nin.”

“Okay, Hokage-sama.” With that Iruka left still cradling the child.

The Hokage gave a weary sighed before looking at his paperwork, “Team placements… I’ll definitely have to put Naruto and Sasuke on the same team, but sadly I still can’t tell Kakashi who Naruto really is.”


The Academy

“Team seven is Uchiha Sasuke,” All the Sasuke fan girls and fan boy’s leaned in expectantly, “Uzumaki Naruto,” There was a nearly visibly question mark floating over the majority of the student population’s heads. A small sigh escaped from the back row, the majority of the classroom spun around and saw, many for the first time, the entrancing purple eyed, golden haired boy with snowy white skin. Many girls and boys were shocked ‘That boy is cuter than me! Oh no he’s going to be with Sasuke-kun.’

‘Oh so that’s the dobe’s name. Funny he had never heard of an Uzumaki before.’ Sasuke thought.

Iruka cleared his throat, “I repeat team seven is Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto and Nara Shikamaru under Hatake Kakashi—“

“Wait there’s supposed to be a girl on a three man team!” Sakura screeched… she had done her homework.

“All I know is that this year is different.” Iruka said and then continued, “Team eight will be Hyuga Neji,” The Neji fan girls and boys all leaned in, “Yamanaka Ino,” Ino frowned she had really wanted to be with Sasuke-kun, not his arch nemesis “And Inuzuka Kiba under Sarutobi Asuma. Team nine is Tenten, Haruno Sakura and Aburame Shino—“

“No way am I being with bug boy and the homicidal maniac, who obsessed with pointy things!” Sakura screeched. Iruka ignored her as Tenten and Shino both gave grins promising a lot of pain to Sakura.

“And continuing, Tenten, Haruno Sakura and Aburame Shino under Yuhi Kurenai. Okay class dismissed. Return after lunch to meet your sensei.” The classroom emptied out as Naruto poked Shikamaru awake, Shikamaru and Naruto left the room and Sasuke followed. His main purpose in doing so was, which was definitely not spying on Naruto (Yeah right and Lee doesn’t have eyebrows), to research their techniques… or something to that order.

Naruto and Shikamaru made their way to a clearing in the forest bordering Konoha. Naruto sat against a tree closing his eyes. Suddenly his whole demeanor changed, Naruto seemed to gain more confidence and a commanding air. Shikamaru’s lazy demeanor all, but vanished. He seemed to be a regal panther relaxed, but ready to kill in a moments notice. If Shikamaru was a panther Naruto was a fox with a devious and potentially vicious air about him.

Suddenly a green blur with hairy orange leg warmers on appeared in the clearing before it flew at Naruto, but instead of hitting the boy the blur hit the tree snapping the twenty-foot tall, fifty feet in diameter tree in two. The green blur stopped, not even breathing hard as Naruto shouted “God damn it Lee, why’d you have to go and knock over my tree?”

“And why did you let Gai-sensei dress you again?” Shikamaru said clucking his tongue in annoyance. The boy sighed and removed the green leotard’s bottom revealing a pair on black shorts and pulling of the top to reveal a black wife beater with red and orange flames at the hem. You could also see the unbelievable amount weight strapped onto his sinewy frame.

“Honestly guys do you expect me to serious try to mimic that man. I shiver at the thought.” Lee said his voice way to deep and hypnotic for his age.

“You maintain the act so well, it freaks me out.” Naruto said, giving the boy a playful glare.

“You’re on to talk Naruto and you too Shika.”

“At least I incorporate some of my real personality with the guise I wear.”

“Yeah a little too much. Naruto you’ve cutting again haven’t you.” Shikamaru asked. Naruto looked down and sighed pulling back his sleeve he revealed his scarred arm with the newly healed abrasions. “Naruto…”

“I know it’s just… after the whole Genin exam scandal I couldn’t stop myself… but something good did happen.”

“What?” Lee asked raising an eyebrow.

“I –“ Naruto suddenly broke off what he was about to say and turned to the bush Sasuke was sitting behind. “The wind changed,” Naruto said annoyed, “I can smell you now Uchiha.”

“Hn.” Sasuke grunted standing up and revealing himself. The group cast weary eyes upon him.

“Why are you here Uchiha?” Shikamaru growled.

“I just wanted to get acquainted with my teammates.” He said evenly.

“Oh and spying on them was the way to do it?” Lee asked sarcastically.

“The only way I could think of.” Sasuke said watching as Naruto’s face went through a great degree of emotions at seeing him. Finally Naruto’s face became emotionless and as still as a statue.

“The correct way to learn about your teammates is to ask perhaps even offer to take them out to eat. I suggest you get better social skills Uchiha-san.” Naruto said in a monotone voice.

“Alright, what are you doing here. Who are you?” He asked Lee. “You want to fight.”

Lee snorted and said in his deep voice “Not really. I don’t make it my aim to make people feel low, hurt them bodily or try to prove myself stronger.”

“Then why are you a ninja?” Sasuke asked surprise.

Naruto gave a short humorless laugh, “Figures, the mighty Uchiha only sees self-gain in becoming a ninja. He doesn’t have a heart at all or it has turned black with hate.”

“You don’t know my pain! You don’t know pain at all.” Sasuke screeched.

“Look at me when you say that Uchiha-san. Try saying that to someone who has suffered his entire life, beaten and rape all in the name of a fucked up justice people think they’re serving. Punishing me for something I have no control over. Now tell me, what do think it feels like to have finally found out who your parents were after twelve years only to discover them dead and rotting in their graves. And that your relatives had abandoned you. Offering to execute you in the name of justice, saying that you were a monster. How would you like to have spent your whole life being ignored, spat at or alone. Always being rejected and betrayed over and over again and the only way to get rid of that pain is to carve into your flesh. Lucky me, that I found friends ‘eh? Friends who do not stay with me for their own gain.”

“Come on Naruto let’s leave this prick here.”

“One last thing, Uchiha. Even thought I have gone through all of that I will and always will fight for them. Even if they kill me in the end I will fight for them. I see their good and evil and knowing the truth of their insecurities and fears I accept them. I accept that they possess pain that knows no bounds. I see their humanity. I just hope maybe just maybe someday they will accept me as a human. Someday… even if I am already dead. True power doesn’t come from hatred or jutsus… it has a different source. Find it and you will grow strong.”

Sasuke sighed as he watched the three friends walk away, that was definitely not the best way to learn about his teammates. ‘Was it really true? Did Naruto hurt that much? Yet, Naruto protect others… he said there was a way to gain true power?… he would think on that, but now lunch was over and they were to meet their sensei.’


The Academy

“Oh Sasuke-kun!” Sakura squealed, “Come sit next to me!”

“No forehead girl, Sasuke-kun doesn’t want sit with you, he wants to sit with me.” In said.

“No Ino-pig-“

“Would both of you just shut up.” Sasuke barely above a whisper, but loud enough that the whole class stilled, Shikamaru and Naruto cast knowing glances at Sasuke as Sasuke made his way up next to them. Reigning in his pride he said, “I don’t know what you mean by true power… but I’m willing to learn and I guess I want to be your friends. So I’m sorry.” Shikamaru and Naruto glanced at each other.

“You’re forgiven. Just learn to never assume and you’ll get along just fine with us.” Shikamaru answered surprising Ino with the power and seriousness in his voice.” She had never heard him speak like this.

“Shika wake me up, when our sensei gets here. I’m tired of ranting.” Shika chuckled and playfully messed up Naruto’s hair. Naruto pouted adorably before taking that as a yes and putting his head down on the table.

Sasuke watched Naruto feeling painful squeeze in his chest. Sighing he turned away and rested his head on his hand. To many people’s shock he did go into his angst pose. Instead he kept giving furtive at both Shikamaru and Naruto.

TBC

Now that an emotional drain to write. I know there’s a lot of yelling and anger in this chapter and you’re all like ‘where’s the boy love.’ I just wanted to tell you… Sasuke’s and Naruto’s love with grow over time it’s not just a five minute fuck. It has a deeper meaning. The next chapter will be longer and sorry that it ends in a weird place, but I mean god almighty was this draining to write. So I’m posting this now and working on my other stories…

Well hope U enjoyed.
