The Greatest Accident in Konoha

And

Awakening a long Dormant Power

(PROLOGUE)

"Mizuki-sensei, stop!" Sasuke screamed as Naruto's eyes became unfocused and he began to shiver as memories ascended over his conscious mind. "Dobe! Please snap out of it!" Sasuke screamed, trying to fend off the weapons Mizuki chucked at Naruto, but Naruto was lost. Suddenly a stray Kunai sliced open Naruto's arms spilling blood. Instantaneously it was healed, but not before the blood trickled onto the scroll resting under Naruto's slumped form.

The scroll began to glow and a terrifying level of chakra was released. Mizuki seeing this followed primal instinct and ran, but for some unknown reason that Sasuke would look back on and call the beginnings of love, Sasuke spun around and seized Naruto, just as the clearing exploded with a visible chaotic gold chakra. Caught in the explosion, Sasuke barely managed to grab onto Naruto as this chakra was sucked into Naruto's body and by sheer mistake flowed into Sasuke's body as if Sasuke's chakra system was an extension of Naruto's own. Both boys screamed and they lost consciousness.

Lost in a black abyss with only each other for company they faced each other and for a moment' time their minds merged and they witnessed each others' lives.

----------------------------------------------------------- Sasuke's POV --------------------------------------------------

"Demon! Come back here for your punishment!" A man screamed as I fled on my short six-year-old legs. I had made the mistake of beating the rookie of the year in Taijutsu and his father wanted revenge. Another man, I did not know, grabbed me and pinned me to a wall.

"Time for justice!" The man hissed ripping off my pants and boxes. I heard him unzip his pants, my eyes widened. The last thing I remembered before I was lost into the abyss was the man moaning as he slammed into me.

I woke up cold and hungry in a trash bin, my own blood and vomit covered me, but it was dried blood. I hobbled my way to my apartment and collapsed on my bed crying. Grabbing a Kunai I dragged over my wrist, but as always it healed in a fraction of a second leaving a faint scar. I flung the kunai away from me.

I jumped into the shower trying to wash away the dirt, but my mind relentlessly replayed the events. "Naruto?" Called someone outside of the bathroom door. I recognized it as jiji. I got out of the shower and peeked around the door. "It's just me and Iruka, Naruto." Jiji called, I slowly made my way out and then froze as I saw the ANBU without his mask on standing at the door behind Iruka and Jiji.

I whimpered as he gestured to me be quiet, lifting a Kunai to his lips instead of a finger. I whimpered again and fell into Jiji's arms. When he asked what was wrong I said I was sick. The man broke into my apartment later that night and did it again, he ripped off my pants and boxers and plunged himself into me as he whispered the entire time "This is our secret."

He stopped coming a few months later. I learned to hide from then on. Hide behind empty smiles and stupidity.

--------------------------------------------------- Naruto's POV-----------------------------------------------------------

"Why Aniki?" I sobbed.

"To test my power!" My brother said, the brother I loved and worshiped. The brother who took everything from me. The murderer, who left me alive, when I wanted to die.

Consequences and Rewards

(CHAPTER ONE)

------------------------------------------ 5 Hours Later in the UCHIHA estate --------------------------------------

Sasuke looked pensively at Naruto's still form, mulling over the turn of events. The terrifying chakra that had consumed both he and Naruto had been dormant for centuries within Naruto's ancestors and only reawakened by Naruto's blood. However, by chance the chakra had mistakenly flowed into Sasuke as if he were a mere extension of Naruto's chakra system resulting in Naruto and Sasuke's spirits being bound into one. Sasuke would die if Naruto did and Naruto would die is Sasuke did. They now shared an unfathomable power. But the Hokage had said there would be other side effects both beneficial and prohibiting growth.

Sleepily Naruto began to stir, Naruto had absorbed the most potent of the chakra forcing the Kyuubi and he to merge completely. The power Naruto had gained from the Kyuubi was solely his. Naruto's body had been coping with the unnatural merging and he had lay unconscious in the Uchiha's estate for three day thus far, the hospital had been unwilling to take Naruto for more than a day. Sasuke had offered to take Naruto in until he regained consciousness. Sasuke just wanted to be close to his counter part. Both boys had changed in appearance. Sasuke's change was subtle, while Naruto was blatantly obvious for the seal that the Henge Forth Hokage had placed upon Naruto as a baby had broken. For his protection the fourth Hokage had created a seal to make Naruto appear to be his son, but the resemblance was obvious ignored and perhaps even earned Naruto more scorn.

Naruto was beautiful. Instead of spiky blond hair Naruto possessed glossy wavy light brown hair that fell t his shoulders, his skin was gold and seemed to shimmer in the sunlight, his eyes had gained an exotic cat like tilt. Defined cheekbones, full pink lips, long eyelashes composed his visage. His body appeared to be very delicate and effeminate, he could almost be mistaken for a young girl. He shot up in height by an inch or two, until he was only an inch shorter than Sasuke. Also he had lean muscles and thin muscular, yet shapely legs. The only feature that was impressed upon him by Kyuubi's mergence was tough nails and darker scars on his cheeks.

In terms of appearance for Sasuke, Sasuke's eyes had lightened to a chocolate brown instead of his menacing black, his skin had gained a more creamy appearance instead of paper-white, he also had longer eyelashes (not nearly as long as Naruto's though) and his body appeared somewhat more delicate.

Naruto's bright orange jumpsuit had been too loose and short on his thin and slightly taller frame, so in the meantime, Sasuke had put Naruto in turquoise silk pajamas with an Uchiha crest on the back that were the same color of his eyes.

Slowly Naruto began to open his eyes, unconsciously Sasuke held his breath waiting for the sight of those turquoise eyes that shone like a many facet stones. "Teme," Naruto moaned looking into Sasuke's, before shooting up nearly knocking heads with Sasuke, "Where the fuck am I?" Then glancing down at his body he said, "Why in the nine gates of hell do I look like this?" Naruto said trying to dispel a genjutsu making Sasuke chuckle. Naruto looked at Sasuke his eyes wide "Did you just laugh teme?" Sasuke nodded his head solemnly and then started to really laugh when Naruto burst out "I'm must of bumped my head, there's no way in hell I could make Mr. Frowns laugh… I think I'm going back to sleep and hope I wake up soon." However before he could lie back down Sasuke grabbed Naruto.

"Naruto. We need to talk." And then Sasuke repeated everything the Sandaime had told him.

Naruto was flabbergasted. "So let me get this straight, Sasuke," Naruto said in a serious tone that shocked Sasuke beyond words, "We're now forever bound in life and death as one soul," Sasuke nodded. "Great!" Naruto said sarcastically. "There go all of my secrets."

"Like a dobe like you could possess secrets." Sasuke said falling instinctually back into the role Naruto and he shared at the academy.

Naruto sighed before saying "Uchiha-san, not all of us believe in parading our abilities in such a fashion as yourself. You could say I wear a metaphorical mask or perhaps you did not view certain aspects of my life in the very intimate mergence, which I believe we were forced to view each other's memories. But for all I know your brother may not have massacred your family and left you alive for his own twisted purposes, which I believe I have an inkling of knowledge as to why he did."

"You- WHAT!"

"Have you heard of the Akatsuki Sasuke?"

"NO."

"The Akatsuki's nine members, this including your brother Itachi, are working to gain the ultimate power, otherwise in their dictionary known as the nine Buji. I'm telling you this because they will come after me for the nine-tails, which they probably won't know I have completely absorbed anyways back to the topic; why Itachi left you alive. Among the member of the Akatsuki, is the legendry Snake Sanin, Orochimaru, a man who possesses the ultimate immortality technique. This technique entails taking over bodies of his victims rendering their consciousnesses dormant and eventually killing them. It's no secret that Orochimaru desires the Sharingan for his twisted purposes. So hypothetically, your brother let you live in order for you mature enough to become Orochimaru's vessel. But this is all what I've based off of small tidbits, I've collected over the years, though I did not know I was the one, who possessed Kyuubi. Though I now find that laughable. I guess it was subliminal fear that I really was a demon so I did not acknowledge the possibility that I was the vessel of the Kyuubi no Kitsune." Any questions?"

"Yeah, how do you know all this?"

"Why, I'm surprised you haven't guessed by now. Orange is an atrocious color, but it works. Where there is no hyperactive orange blob, there is no Naruto. Where this no human chakra, but a small 'animalistic chakra' amount usually attributed to an animal, there is no child. When they talk in whispers, then no one can hear. It's really simplistic."

"Who are you?" Naruto chuckled.

"Uzumaki Naruto as far as I am aware. I don't know my parentage, but now we can remove the Fourth Hokage from that list ne?"

Sasuke sighed, "So it's true, you were repetitively raped and attempting suicide, when you were six?" Naruto nodded. "I'm sorry Naruto."

"There's nothing to be sorry about. I don't even hold a grudge against that vile man. He was just taking his pain away the best way he could think of. I researched him and discovered that the Kyuubi killed his entire clan. Now what do you propose we do, now that I am up?"

"I don't know. I usually train about now."

"Alright training it is." Naruto said getting up and heading towards the door. Suddenly Sasuke blocked the door. "What?" Naruto asked startled.

"You're not training in my pajamas." Naruto looked downwards and blushed horribly. Sasuke led Naruto to the bathroom, told him to take a shower and went to fetch some clothing.

He made his way back to the bathroom just as Naruto came out wearing a small towel around his waist. Sasuke flushed scarlet when he realized that he was staring at Naruto slim, golden skinned chest still slick with water and his small pink nipples. Naruto blinked owlishly as Sasuke quickly turned. Naruto looked scandalously attractive. Damp light brown hair was straight and framed his smiling face as he tapped Sasuke's shoulder. Sasuke turned around seeing Naruto now dressed he inwardly sighed.

"Hn?"

"Training." Naruto said quickly and then followed Sasuke outside.

-------------------------------------The UCHIHA training grounds AFTER the Spar ----------------------------

"Sasuke I noticed several differences in your fighting style."

"Hn?"

"You're less grounded when attacking allow you to move quicker and leap higher, two your healing at the same rate as I used too," Sasuke's widened Naruto's healing rate was the stuff of legends, "You are producing more chakra and have almost the same endurance as I do," If it was possible Sasuke's eyes went wider, "though you have a little less control on your chakra. And you've been predicting my attacks. So from these facts I suggest you should work on extending this… let us call it gravitational forces power, work on your chakra control and I suggest you look in the pond over there." Naruto said gesturing to the pond. Curious Sasuke made his way to the pond and gasped at his reflection. "Do you know what it is? I don't think it's the Sharingan (Copy Wheel Eye)." Naruto said.

"Yeah, I know." Sasuke muttered entranced by the small spiral in his eyes "It's the founding form of the Sharingan before the power was deluded by foreign genetics."

"Hmm?"

"This Sharingan or rather the Akasha, (Bloody Copy), renders the Mangekyo ineffective. In fact the Mangekyo was substituted for the full power of the Akasha, which became dormant and was replaced by the Sharingan. The Akasha works like this:

First Level Slows down everything, analyses space, time and physics in seconds, reads taijutsu attacks. It is also hyper sensitive to all forms of chakra

The Second Level- Copies and reads other ninjutsu attacks before they happen by the sight of how the person is molding their chakra

The Third Level- Casts minor genjutsus and sees through all genjutsus (even the Mangekyo), suppresses other's chakra

The Fourth Level- Uses other's chakra against them by making it unstable, turning genjutsu against the caster and can possibly turn ninjutsu attacks on him or her

The Fifth Level- blows things up by forcing concentrated chakra into things and breaking into other's minds

While this seems like trivial additions to the Sharingan, it's an entirely more powerful. All of the abilities effectiveness is increased ten fold. And it can potentially cause damage to those who use the Mangekyo. It was the most feared bloodline limit of its time. Naruto thank you so much." Sasuke said turning to Naruto and smiling a small smile. "Okay, did you notice anything about yourself?" Naruto nodded.

"A) I can now predict your moves not by viewing it, but by pure instinct. B) I seem to be able to adjust the speed of anything metal flying at me… I think I might even be able to redirect the metal, C) my Chakra seems more in control, though there is much more of it… I can't think of anything else at the moment. I was too busy studying your style."

For some reason Naruto's words made both Naruto and Sasuke blush. "I don't know the real you that well, but I have noticed you've been doing hand seals so fast I can barely follow them and I guess I'm on level one already." Sasuke began, "I—"

Suddenly a frog appeared from no where and said "The Hokage-sama wishes to speak with you immediately." The frog said before disappearing a poof of smoke.

Both boys looked at each and said simultaneously "Did that frog just talk?" Then they took off for the Hokage's tower.
