Scouticus: okay, i know I should be updating or whatever, but I'm totally bogusly stumped on what to do next, so that will be done whenever inspiration hits.

You know how Sasuke and Naruto seem like they should be BFF, but are always torn apart by Itachi, the village and Sasuke's lust for power? Well, what if they got the second chance they deserve, in the form of a second life and the chance they never got.


We had been best friends, partners, we were close enough to be lovers. But then Sasuke left Konoha. Not even for a good reason. Simply to get power from Orochimaru. And yet, I still love him. I'm the fool who's in love with the fool.

That's why I'm going to kill him. I love him, but his rampage for power has destroyed everything I work to protect. But I can't live without him. He's preparing a chidori now. It's more massive than I've ever seen. If he comes at me with that, I know I'm going to die.

But I'm going to take him down with me.

I can't truly live without him. And from our previous encounters, I can tell he can't truly live without me.

I gather my strength. His Chidori and my Rasengan are going to meet one last time in battle. The aftershock will kill both of us. One cannot live without the other. So we will die together. He charges, I dispell my clone and charge right back at him. His blood red sharingan meet my bloodstained oceans. The world goes scilent for us. I whisper that I'm sorry.

Pain explodes in my chest and all goes black.


There are no words to discribe exactly what happens next. The two tortured souls were released in a burst of pure power. A beam of light was cast, alarming the remaining weak, battle-weary shinobi still fighting. Orange and blue intertwined on the beams journey toward the heavens. Opposites, yet complements.

The boys teacher looked up and smiled. He knew exactly what was going on.

The two boys, intertwined by destiny, but pushed away by moral beings, were being given a second chance.


The beam of light, now headed by two orbs, shining from rebirth, transended worlds, and in another place, at another time, two different, silent newborn babes suddenly started to cry.

"Welcome, to the world... Little Naruto-chan..."

"Welcome, Sasuke."
