My new story! Probably just going to be a one or two shot, but Idk. If any of you read Forbidden Power I just thought I would let you know that I had the next chapters, but my computer shit itself and once I got it back up my brother put a virus on it and I ended up losing the chapters. So I thought of this, want to get it out, and then I'm rewriting the second and third chapters for Forbidden Power. Just a warning for the story, I don't have an exact episode it's after, but it's after Naruto takes the Kyuubi's chakra. In my version though, he befriended Kurama at that point. Sorry, haven't watched the series in a while so I'm a little off.

Disclaimer: These things are so stupid. Why would anyone even BOTHER trying to PRETEND to be the embodiment of awesome that is known to us as Masashi Kishimoto? Honestly...
I wish I was though…

Coming Closer Together

There he was, just lying there, a pool of blood forming around them. The one he chased for so long to bring back, to rescue from the darkness he cast himself into, was now dying right before his eyes, with nothing he could do about it.

Sasuke looked up at Naruto with blood soaked eyes. All of his attempts at Amaterasu and Susaano to protect himself failed, along with his eyesight. All he could make out now, were barely described shadows.

Naruto was shocked at the whole thing. It was supposed to be a simple D-rank mission: Go clean the farmer's shed and get back to the village. On his way home he ran into none other than Sasuke. There were no words exchanged, but none were needed. Sasuke had left Akatsuki the year before, when he found out Akatsuki's plan to kill off him and his team, and that even Obito had a higher up in the organization. So he was back to being a rogue nin. His team was killed, Akatsuki saying it was due to his betrayal, by Zetsu. Everyone except for Karin, that is, who was the only one he could manage to rescue. He sent her away so she could be safe from his demons. Sasuke wanted to return to Konoha, but he knew that all Konoha nin had a "Kill-On-Site" order for him, so he figured he would try and get captured by one of their ninja instead, but put up a good fight so as not to make it seem like a trick. Of course, however, the first ninja he happened across just had to be Naruto.

The battle was intense. Sasuke had used his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan to the best of his untrained ability and was still losing. To make matters worse, though, was that Obito joined the fray. He put Sasuke in a near death state, so he would suffer before his death, and focused on Naruto. Naruto was already physically exhausted from fighting Sasuke, having used a large amount of Kyuubi's chakra, and as such he didn't stand much of a chance against Obito, and was easily beaten. And now, now that he was a mere failed breathe away from death, he looked Sasuke in the eye.

"Dobe." Sasuke choked out, sensing Naruto's near death state. He prayed to Kami Naruto was looking at him and that he was looking at Naruto. "Fushi Tensei!" Sasuke screamed out. He felt his entire body go numb and then stopped feeling it all together.

He blinked as he entered a meadow with a red sky that had a giant floating image of his eternal Mangekyou and an entrance to a sewer behind him. From the sewer he could make out a figure walking towards him. After a few seconds another one appeared behind the first which he determined was Naruto. As they both exited Sasuke realized it was the Kyuubi behind Naruto, only instead of his red fur he had golden and the red in his slitted eyes was replaced with white.

"What are you doing here, Sasuke, and how did you get here?" Naruto demanded with his arms crossed. He glared at the floating image of the Sharingan and it disappeared, revealing a golden sun and not a cloud in the sky. Without looking back to Sasuke, who to this point remained quiet, Naruto yelled. "Answer me you asshole! You try to enter my mind after trying to kill me and all you can do is stand there? You have five seconds before I rip you a new one and expel you from my mind!" Sasuke cringed at the words. He knew Naruto would be pissed with him. Hell, he was pissed with himself, but he never expected Naruto to say that. Right as he was about to respond, Sasuke heard another voice come from behind him.

"Naruto, it's OK. I can sense Sasuke's regret and I know you can, too. He has no ill intention for being here." Sasuke heard as a hand fell on his shoulder. As he was about to turn around he heard another voice.

"Naruto, he is here to help you. He is here to carry out what I wished of him, to save the village. If you don't believe me, please atleast listen to what he has to say." The second voice said. Sasuke found it impossible to turn his head around at who was speaking, but the second person sounded familiar. It sounded like Itachi.

"Honey, you once said he was your brother, prove that you felt that way by allowing him to help." A third voice said, female this time. Sasuke saw the look of pure shock on Naruto's face- along with a little bit of anger. He started to cry as a golden light emitted from his stomach and started spreading across his body until the first person, the one who's hand was on Sasuke's shoulder, walked up to Naruto and hugged Naruto. Sasuke realized it to be the Fourth Hokage, and noticed that Naruto was a spitting image of him aside from the whisker marks. A female, with long red hair being the only thing Sasuke could see, walked up and hugged both of them. Sasuke guessed them to be Naruto's parents but was shocked that he was the son of the Fourth. For the first time in a while, Sasuke heard Naruto speak.

"Bu- but, I thought you guys ran out of chakra. How are you here again?" Naruto asked as he cried into his parents' shoulders.

Simultaneously they both said "We were Sasuke's Godparents. We put some of our chakra into him when he was born to signify it. We just never had a way to get out and show either of you."

Naruto's mother added "And if Jiraiya wasn't being lazy, getting drunk, or sleeping with a bunch of women in the afterlife, he would be here, too, because he gave me a paper seal with some of his chakra to put in you the first minute you were born." Sasuke watched it all, forgetting his brother behind him until he felt two other presences appear.

"Naruto's mindscape is special, only a few people in the world can have the conscience of more than one person at a time, let alone eight. Sasuke, you should feel honored that one of the Soul Saviors considered you family. There are only seven alive at any given point in time, and they have the power to take the souls of the lost and put them into the fallen bodies of evil for good. Only the Death God himself has more power over souls." A male voice that sounded very vaguely familiar to Sasuke rang out. He heard a slap after the voice ended.

"Shut up you baka. We weren't supposed to tell them yet. Can't you see they have a lot going on and you have to waltz in here and burden them with even more to worry about? Well, I wouldn't say burden, per say, but you get the point. Kami, sometimes I wonder why I ever married you. You always make me do and say stupid things and I'm going to stop ranting now…" The voice trailed off after seeing the giggling and shocked faces around her. Sasuke new that tone. He knew both of them. They were so familiar and so- so- he couldn't even find the right words for it, but he just knew who they were. He slowly regained the ability to move again.

"Mo-mom? Da-dad? Is that really you?" Sasuke asked as he turned completely. He saw his parents walk up next to Itachi, who had a smile on his face, and the clothes he used to wear around the Uchiha district.

"Yes, honey. It's us." His mom said as she smiled and opened her arms. Sasuke was there in an instant, crying into her shoulder like the same 7-year-old boy she had left. Sasuke's whole family, finally reunited after so many years, started crying. After a few minutes every one settled down, Sasuke still not letting go of his mom aside from giving his father a hug. He didn't go over to Itachi, or even acknowledge him, but the older brother understood. Itachi knew Sasuke thought he was the one who killed their family for power still. Hell, he told him as much. After the family reunion was finished, the Namikaze's joined the Uchihas.

"This is amazing. How is this possible?" Sasuke asked in wonder. He hadn't felt this happy in years and all of his burdens suddenly flew out of the window.

"We all put some of our chakra into you when you were born, aside from Naruto of course, so that if we were ever not there and you needed help we could at least be there in spirit. You can physically see us now because Naruto is a Soul Savior. Someone meant to take the souls of the just that were taken away before their time and give them a second chance. Souls can be seen in his mind because of it." Mikoto, Sasuke's mom, said.

"And while it is not a Kekkai Genkai, the Sharingan can't copy it. They can, however, allow the user to steal souls for themselves if they can get into the mindscape. That is why Orochimaru was after them so bad. If he got into the mindscape of a Soul Savior and used the Sharingan to take the host's soul, he would be the new Soul Savior. I'm glad you killed him Sasuke." Naruto's mom, Kushina, added with a smile.

"I'm sorry to break up this reunion, but Kushina, do you feel that? It feels lik-" Minato began.

"Like our chakra is returning to us? Yes, dear, I feel it aswell." Kushina said. Mikoto chimed in next.

"I think we should let them process what we've told them before we load them on with anything else, don't you guys agree? Besides, my son has an apology to make. Isn't that right, Sasuke?"

He looked shy at first, like a child caught with his hand in the cookie jar, but gave in under his mother's gaze and released his grip from around her. He stood straight up and started his apology. "I'm sorry, Naruto, for everything. I would like to say I blame the curse mark for everything, but that wouldn't be true and I'm done lying. The only thing the mark actually did was to unleash and minutely amplify the hatred in me so that I would leave and that I almost tried to kill you. It was me you fought at the Valley of The End, and it was still me when I entered the cursed form level 2. Everything was me and I have no valid reason you should accept this apology, which now, as I speak it out loud, seems more like just a confession." Sasuke paused to take a deep breathe and before he was able to start again Naruto chimed in.

"It's okay, Sasuke. I accept your apology. But there is something I have to do first." Sasuke looked up from the ground as Naruto said that, and the next thing he knew he had a fist against his stomach, and as he flew back another fist smashed against his face. He landed rough by crashing into the wall next to the sewer entrance. Naruto followed up by throwing him into the air, and making nine shadow clones that each got one kick on Sasuke. Sasuke landed face first in the ground, not knowing what happened as Naruto moved so fast. "That is for hurting Sakura-Chan the way you have. You're betrayal hurt her more than anyone, Sasuke, so she's the one you ought be apologizing to." Sasuke stood back up, looked Naruto in the eye, and nodded, noticing he felt pain, but had no injuries. "Great! Now that I've gotten that over with, and since no physical damage can actually be done here, back to you guys. If we leave now, won't you guys run out of chakra?" Naruto asked with worry.

"No, Naruto, there is something different than the last time. We'll be fine, honestly, and we'll explain it later. Don't you guys think you should go deal with Obito now?" Minato explained and offered. He needed to talk to his wife and practically family, Mikoto and Fugaku.

"But no one ever explained to me what Sasuke was doing here." Naruto sighed looking around.

"I'm here to give you my eyes and power. Everything I have will be yours. I did Orochimaru's body switching technique in reverse, to give you my abilities. As for my spirit, I'll probably end up staying here."

"Oh…" Was Naruto's extremely intelligent response. "I accept. Thank you Sasuke. I will beat Obito for both of us!" Naruto shouted with a new vigor. "Hey, wait a minute. I'm looking at your souls, and as my position says I can put you in fallen bodies, right guys?" Naruto asked to the whole group. After they all nodded he got a wide grin on his face. "Couldn't I overcharge some clones and put you guys in them so you could help?" Everyone's face fell.

Sasuke was the most stunned. "Maybe you aren't the dead last, Dobe."

"I don't see why that wouldn't work, actually. But don't you have little to no chakra left?"

Naruto put on his biggest fox grin. "My chakra level has been rising since we got in here. I don't know why, but I feel practically invincible right now! And I can feel that Kurama's has, aswell. Isn't that right, ya big loaf?" Naruto said rubbing Kyuubi's head.

Kurama spoke for the first time. "Didn't we agree on no petting?" asked the Kyuubi while he swatted Naruto's hand with his paw.

"Don't be so butt hurt. I'll let you out for a little stretch, now that we have this plan. Deal, Partner?" Naruto offered as he held his fist out.

"Now that's what I like to hear." said Kurama as he met Naruto and they bumbed fists.

All of the others in the area were stunned in to silence, with Kushina even blacking out. Minato quickly rushed to her side, before Fugaku spoke up. "You managed to tame the most deadly of all the tailed beasts without even the use of a Sharingan?"

"His name is Kurama, and I have not tamed him. We are partners, and will remain that way until I find a way to return him to open space. I'll explain later, when we talk about the whole Soul thing." Naruto responded.

"Naruto, you should probably get back into the battle before Obito notices what's going on." Minato said.

"I guess you're right. Alright guys, I'll see you later I guess. But I have one more question, how will I be able to use the Sharingan? Doesn't it take years to master it?"

"With the merge it should be imbedded into you already, now go." Sasuke restated.

"Hai." Was Naruto's simple response.

"Fushi Tensei? That was Orochimaru's technique, and with his body being gone it can only mean one thing: Sasuke merged his body with the Kyuubi's host's. This is not good. I must finish them quickly." Obito had implemented his plan no less than 5 seconds after Sasuke's body disappeared, which was about 10 minutes to Naruto and the rest of them, and it was 4 seconds too late. The merge was already complete, Naruto already started to open the flow of his chakra, with the Kyuubi throwing in his aswell. The sky blue eyes belonging to the knuckle-headed-ninja started to change. Before Obito could get his hand signs started the blast of chakra signaled Naruto was back up, with power greater than any previously imagined.

Well there you have it. Any helpful criticism would be lovely and any comments just as well. I suppose you can flame if it is that aweful, but I would hope it wasn't. If you want this story to continue I'll need some positive reviews saying to. Thanks, and peace.

The King- has left- the building.
