I know my stories are short, but this one is purposefully so. It's the prologue, so tell me what you think. Pairings so far are: SasuNaru, possible ItaNaru later, LeeSaku, ShikaTem, KibaHina. Only the intro is from the characters point of view. I hope you enjoy!
World domination is everyone's dream. It's not a bad job really. It pays well, there are all sorts of perks and you can set your own hours. So it's hardly surprising that the King, Uchiha Itachi, was trying so very hard to maintain the power over the borders he had and attain power over that which he hadn't. This, however, did not bode well seeing as Sannin Orochimaru had hold of the rest of the world. He had usurped the kingdom from its previous ruler, Sarutobi. Sarutobi had retired from his position and left it to someone who refused to let anyone know his name. His people only knew him as 'Yondaime'. When Yondaime died, he had no known successors, thus Sarutobi had to take the thrown back, fighting to dethrone Itachi from his tyrannical reign. Then Orochimaru attacked, killing Sarutobi and taking his throne. Now the world was divided into two, Orochimaru and Itachi fighting head to head for world domination. It doesn't matter which on of them wins, the world is screwed. Neither are very pleasant rulers, so basically we need a hero, someone to come in and fight BOTH of them. And that's were I come in. My name is Uchiha Sasuke, Itachi's younger brother. I'm determined to overthrow him and save the world, I'm the only one willing to oppose either of the overlords. So, no pressure, really. At least I'm not going in alone. I have Kakashi, Neji, Haku, Zabuza, Kankuro, Shikamaru, Shino, and Hayate. That's something. Sure, my brother's got a legion of terrors, the 'akatsuki', and has four of the nine 'jinchuuriki's', but hey. I'm sure eight rebels can take on the most powerful beings this side of the world. Really, no pressure on this battle, at all.
And if you can't feel the sarcasm radiating from my words, I suggest you go see a doctor.
'Jinchuuriki's. The nine tailed demon's, otherwise known as 'bijuu' are sealed into people at birth, these people become known as Jinchuuriki's. They are able to call on the power of the demon inside them and use their powers, for this reason armies and warriors often seek them out for their kingdoms power. The demon's themselves were originally targeted by the kingdom, but they proved to be too much to handle. Thus, Jinchuuriki's are used. An organization named the 'Akatsuki' has recently developed, searching for the nine Jinchuuriki's to use to their advantage. King Uchiha Itachi, as the founder of the akatsuki, is planning to use the Jinchuuriki's to win the war against Sannin Orochimaru'
O.k, this is so boring. Seriously, who wrote this crap? Oh yeah, should probably introduce myself. Yo, name's Naruto. Uzumaki Naruto. So, basically, there's this war going on between the two kingdoms of the world. There used to be about six kingdoms, but they've been destroyed. Me and my friends are planning to fix this, we want to get the kingdoms back to the way they were. Besides me, there's Gaara, Hinata, Sakura, and Temari. They're the kids of the old rulers who we want to make rule over the kingdoms when we get order restored and stuff. There was a sixth kingdom, but that ruler had no known kids. Hinata had a little sister, but she was killed by Orochimaru. Temari and Gaara also had a sibling, but they haven't seen him since the war. They refuse to believe he's dead. There's also Kiba, TenTen, Chouji, Ino, Lee and Gai. It's us against the world. Literally. Wow, this battles gonna go well, huh!
Right, there's the intro. The plot's there, I've got the characters, the stage is set, let the play begin!
