Hi. This is the first chapter to what will hopefully be a fun story to both readers and author(me). This story is not going to be to realistic or serious as i am using it as a way to get into writing more serious Fanfictions and therefore, want it to be as fun as possible to write. Anyway, that's enough from me. Just remember that if you could Fav/Follow/Review, it would be a great help and give me more motivation. Plus I'm not too confident with my writing skills so a little bit of constructive criticism wouldn't go amiss. I have a basic idea of where i want this story to go but there will probably be some polls from time to time (e.g. Pairings,). All I can say is, i hope you enjoy this journey with me.


"N…Naruto", the man wheezed, "I… may not… be able to… help as much as… I'd like to, but… promise me… something: Carry out the… will of our sensei, carry out his… will of fire. Take my eyes… use them; it's what… he would want." The trembling man's voice faltered as the last embers of his life burnt away. That was it. The tale of Nagato Uzumaki.

Naruto stared down in disbelief at a man whom, 30 minutes ago, he would've felt nothing but relief over his death; but now, felt strangely attached to. A man with whom he'd shared so much: sadness, teachers, goals, and soon to be eyes. Konan had been standing, quietly, in the corner. She knew that Nagato had wanted to leave his eyes as his legacy to the right person, but she had no idea that the person would be the very same one they had set out to incapacitate and in turn, kill. Though she couldn't say that she was shocked - in light of recent events and how Nagato's feelings had wavered as they sensed Naruto making his way towards them – she had thought that the boy would be quicker to remove the eyes. Instead, she had to initiate the process and as she moved towards the body, Naruto moved out of the way – as if communicating by thought. Without flinching, she extracted the eyes and placed them into a jar filled with a viscous, clear fluid. She handed the jar to Naruto and proceeded to wrap Nagato and Yahiko's bodies with her infamous paper jutsu, then left. Whatever goodbyes either of them had, they would never be spoken.

Naruto stood. Searing pain flared in all of his muscles. Today's ordeals would take some time to recover from, but first, he had to get back to the village. There was no way that he was going to come through something as difficult as that and collapse on the return home. Adamant to make it back before dusk, he gathered the jar left by Konan and made his way back towards the ruins that the esteemed village hidden in the leaves had been reduced to. Having come so close to death and knowing that he was still within an arm's reach of death, Naruto decided that he would take in what could possibly become the last thing he saw. Looking around, he noticed that he was dwarfed by the thickness and height of the trees. The grass underfoot mirrored the tops of the trees with a vibrant verdant green. The skies were a piercing crystal blue. The warmth of the sun radiated down onto his back as he walked in the opposite direction, only to be met with a cool summer breeze. It would have been a perfect day if one did not know the circumstances which had ruined it for a great number of people; People who had been dragged into this whole scenario because of him. Countless amounts had lost so much. Homes had been flattened in the blink of an eye, landscapes had been reformed by the sheer power of the battle. If one thing had changed, it was that the lives of these people would never quite be the same again. As Naruto pondered this, his eyelids grew heavy and he started slowing down. He blinked. Again. A third time. Darkness enveloped him as he drifted off. He stumbled and tripped, falling forwards. Unable to move but aware of himself falling helplessly, he was stunned when his fall was absorbed and he was lifted up. His eyes opened slightly, vision greeted with a blur of green, white and blue. He let his eyes shut again as he drifted off into a slumber. Words resonated through his dream though as he began to fall further and further into his sleep. "Good Job", spoke the calming voice.

(20 minutes later)

Kakashi stepped into the clearing where all the villagers had gathered. As he did, he was greeted with a tremendous applause. However, the applause was for a very tired Naruto who had been asleep on Kakashi's surprisingly comfortable back. He awoke to the thundering noise and a beaming smile made its way from ear to ear. "WOO! NARUTO" a voice shouted from in the distance and everyone cheered in response. Naruto felt like he was in an inebriated dream from then on. Everyone was reminiscing about the good times and the bad. Naruto was being greeted by what seemed like everyone, enveloped in the warmth of their hugs and he couldn't help but smile. It was like he was being passed around from one group of people to the next. Finally, Naruto knew he belonged somewhere.

"Naruto", whispered Sakura. Then to everyone's surprise, she punched him in the stomach, "Don't ever scare me like that again, then juxtaposing her earlier actions, she pulled him into a tight hug – putting her monstrous strength to use. He coughed, then hugged her back, "Umm… Sakura, do you know where Grandma Tsunade it, there's something I need to ask her."

"Sure Naruto, she's over there" replied Sakura pointing. Naruto followed her point and then limped off in the direction of the point.

"Grandma Tsunade," said Naruto, instantly grabbing her attention. She ran at him and pulled him into a tight embrace. "Naruto, on the behalf of the Village and I, Thank you," she pulled him tighter, "I'm so glad you're okay. " A single tear dripped down her cheek. Naruto pulled away from the hug. "Tsunade, there's something I need to ask of you, a favour", he spoke softly so he was out of earshot of everyone else.

"Ask away, Naruto, anything for the guy who just saved the village", she replied. So he told her of his encounter with Nagato, told her of Nagato's dreams, and told her how he wanted to help fulfil those dreams. "So Tsunade, this is why I need you to perform surgery on my eyes. To replace them with Nagato's. I need to become powerful if I'm going to do this, I need to push my limits." Tsunade was stunned at what she had just heard. Naruto wanted to implant Nagato's (the man who had nearly wiped out the village not a day ago) eyes into his own head. Then again, Tsunade thought, I have just promised him anything. Also it would be good to have someone with such a powerful ocular jutsu on our side. Naruto has said he wanted it and he isn't that ignorant illogical boy he once was, he's a man now and Is old enough to make his decisions.

"I'll do it", declared Tsunade.


There you have it. this chapter was pretty short and I hope to make them longer in the future. I just had to get this bit out of the way and it should become more light-hearted in chapters to come. I hope you all enjoyed it. Thanks for reading and i hope you're looking forward to the next chapters.
