This story takes place where the main chuunin are now around the age 17, when Sasuke is still gone from Konoha, and Orochimaru is still living, due to a failed attempt by Sasuke to kill him. Akatsuki has been terminated, due to a scavenge that found each of the existing members. There were a lot of ninja killed in the attempt, but in the end there were simply too many. The only surviving members are Itachi, Akatsuki Leader, and the girl without the name. Since then Sasuke has slowed on his training, and Orochimaru has been hot on his trail, trying to get his revenge.

Prologue

We begin the story with a new character Harturo Tomoshibi, who is from the Village Hidden in Light, in the world renowned Wind Country. He is 17 years of age, with abilities that surpass even some of the greatest jounin. He is a Chuunin, master of Ninjutsu, and a little bit of Taijutsu. He has brown hair, and a black and yellow gi. He has two black marks that come up from the side of his cheeks and narrow into two ends around the sides of his nose. His clan and village were wiped out by one of Orochimaru's henchmen. So he promised to get every single last one of them, and then get the grand prize, Orochimaru, in the end.

Chapter 1 – "What's Up Tomoshibi?"

(Two years before original setting)

He was traveling to Konoha, a city that a fellow traveler had told him about. So since he didn't belong to a specific village, he could be considered a rogue ninja. When he approached the village he was surprisingly greeted by the jounin at the gate. As he approached the tall building with the fire symbol, he was crossed by a character in an orange jumpsuit.

"Hey you!" said the character.

"Huh? Are you talking to me?" said Tomoshibi.

"Yeah, who are you?"

"Harturo Tomoshibi, man."

"I've never seen you here before. What are you doing here?"

"I guess you can say that I am looking for a place to stay. Before you ask another question, I need to know your name."

"I am Uzumaki Naruto. I've never seen that forehead protector before. The Hokage at this village is Tsunade-sama. What village do you originate from?"

"Wha-"

"He is from the legendary and late Village Hidden in Light," said the Hokage as she appeared behind them. It is said that his village was wiped out by Orochimaru. What is your name, young man?"

"Harturo Tomoshibi, Hokage-sama" Tomoshibi replied.

"The Harturo clan, huh, they were probably one of the strongest clans the world has ever witnessed, with their doujutsu, the Harturozaigan, It was said to be one of the strongest bloodline limits, surpassing even the Sharingan.

"Sasuke," Naruto thought to himself, as he began to think about the battle at the Valley of the End, and the final moments of him before leaving Konoha.

"So what are you planning on doing here?" Tsunade asked.

"Well I plan on staying, since I have been doing a lot of traveling, I think that this would be a good place to stay-but don't get me wrong, I'll only stay if you let me, but if you do, then I would stay. I would also like to train under some of your best jounin.

"Well, since you seem so polite, and I'm not getting a bad presence anywhere, I guess I could let you move here to Konoha. I'll even let you keep your village's forehead protector with you.

"Awesome!" Naruto yelled, joyfully, now I can take you to Ichiraku Ramen and show you a good meal.

"Before you do that," Tsunade-sama interrupted, "I have to tell Tomoshibi something." She turned to Tomoshibi, "You will also be participating in our missions, so Naruto will give you a tour of the village so you can get to now some of the villagers. Sound good?"

"Yes ma'am" Harturo replied.

"Alright, can we go to Ichiraku Ramen now?" Naruto asked, gleefully.

"Sure, why not? Tsunade answered.

"Let's go!" Naruto yelled.

"Wow," Tomoshibi thought to himself. "He is one of the most energetic people I've ever met. He reminds me of my little brother. How he would always be willing to do anything that sounded interesting. I will avenge you, Naiyako.

"Are you okay?" Naruto asked

"Yeah, I'm okay." Tomoshibi replied.

So they go to Ichiraku Ramen. Naruto orders them two bowls of Ramen.

"Who's your little partner here?" Teuchi, the owner asked.

"This is Tomoshibi, my new friend." Naruto answered.

So they left it at that, and Tomoshibi enjoyed the ramen. He said that it was the best food he had ever eaten, and that made Teuchi proud. They go around town to meet some of the other ninja, like Rock Lee, Hyuuga Neji and Hinata, Sakura, and Hatake Kakashi. Tomoshibi was greeted like a friend. Then they go to Naruto's house, where Tomoshibi would stay. They were continuing to talk about themselves, before they fell asleep.

(Back at the original time setting)

Naruto and Tomoshibi were sound asleep before being abruptly awakened by Sakura.

"Hey, you idiots, wake up!" Sakura yelled at them. "Tsunade-sama wants us three to go see her at her office. So wake up and hurry up. We don't want to keep her waiting." She left them to handle their business.

"Does she always wake you up like that?" Tomoshibi asked.

"Yeah, but It's sort of grown on me," Naruto replied.

So they get ready and dressed and head down to the Hokage's Mansion, where Tsunade gives them their first mission. They, being Naruto, Tomoshibi, Shikamaru, and Sakura, have to head down to Lightning, to the Hidden Cloud Village, where they must protect the delivery of a deadly seal scroll.

"Missions, can't live with them, can't live without them." Shikamaru sighed, "These missions are so troublesome, bit it can't be helped." He looked at Tomoshibi. "So you're going to be with us on this mission too, huh?"

"Yeah, I guess so." He replied. "It is awesome meeting you, Shikamaru; I haven't met as interesting a character as you."

"Well, that's greatly appreciated, but I'm really mot all that great!"

"Don't try to deny it!"

So they head across the border (not the Mexican-U.S. border, you retards) to Rice Country, where they reach the Cloud Village moments later. They are greeted by the jounin at the gate. They meet with the Raikage, and execute the mission with ease, and very minimal problems. On their way back, they began to sense a very strange presence.

"Whoa, did any of you just-" Naruto attempted to say, but was shushed by Tomoshibi. As they were still running along the tree branches, Naruto, being distracted by the chakra, wasn't paying attention and ran straight into a branch. "What the f-!"

"Quiet!" Tomoshibi whispered, "Everyone suppress their chakra and hide."

"We need to get back!" Shikamaru tried to say, "We completed our mission, so we must get back to Konohagakure. This is not a part of our mission, so we could suffer horrible consequences."

"Let me say what I was trying to say!" Naruto interrupted, "This presence feels so familiar. Does it feel familiar to anyone here?

"Now that you said something, it does feel strongly familiar," Sakura, said, "But I can't remember where from. There seems to be a lot of darkness around this chakra, which is keeping me from." The others nodded in agreement.

"Even though this may be true," Shikamaru insisted, "We still were not assigned to discover what this strange chakra is originating."

"But we gotta go," Naruto continued, "This presence might reach Konoha and destruction could spread throughout the village. We must find out what this power is so we can defeat it. Believe It!"

"Alright," Shikamaru stated, "I guess we can get this guy. But we have to come up with a backup plan so we can get back without any problems in case something goes wrong. So when I give the sign just follow my lead. Got it?" Everyone nodded. "Believe It!" Naruto thought to himself.

So they snuck through the forest just by a meadow, staying behind the trees. They see two familiar looking dudes training. The dark presence was pulsing now, stronger than ever. Upon eye contact, Sakura froze. Sensing her mood, Naruto looked closer; he too saw what she was looking at, and froze. In the distance, Sasuke and Orochimaru were battling it out.

"No, it can't be" Naruto whispered, "It's him. After all this time, we finally found him. And he's fighting Orochimaru. Uchiha Sasuke was finally found.

"It's him!!" Tomoshibi thought to himself, seeing Orochimaru in the distance. He also saw Sasuke for the first time. AS he thought this a kunai came headed his way. Tomoshibi blocked it easily. "Well they spotted us, might as well reveal ourselves now." They all jetted out into the meadow, revealing themselves to the two warriors.

"Well, Well, Well, long time, no see, Naruto." Sasuke said, calmer now. His appearance was a lot different than Tomoshibi pictured him. He still had the same hair design, the dark hair with the spikes and everything else, but his uniform was changed drastically. He had a more of a 'Samurai Jack' approach; except his bottoms were navy blue and he had the infamous purple rope belt. He did not wear a forehead protector, and he carried a katana. "It's been a long time, hasn't it, Naruto?" he continued.

"UCHIHA SASUKE!" Naruto yelled, like he was fighting him in the valley of the end about four years ago. Meanwhile, Orochimaru had snuck around and knocked out the rest of the team. Tomoshibi tried to warn them, but Orochimaru was too fast.

"Well, look at what we have here." Orochimaru said, "I should have made sure there wasn't anyone out of the village before I left."

"You're a monster," Tomoshibi stated, "I will not let you live. I will avenge everyone you killed in my village. You will suffer the consequences of what you did.

IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO DIE!!" He activated the Harturozaigan. The energy that was released with the activation surprised everyone, including Orochimaru. Tomoshibi did a couple more hand seals, and pulled out a hilt. Almost instantly, a light blade emitted out of the hilt and took the shape of a blade. "Pure Energy Blade!"

"This time you're coming with me!" Naruto said.

"How many times must I tell you," Sasuke said, "I am not going back anytime soon, and I don't ever plan on it, so leave me be, please."

"How many times must I tell you, I made a promise, and I will uphold that promise until it is completed, unless I die trying. And I don't plan on doing that. I will bring you back with me in any condition, except dead. Believe It!"

"Well I guess I'll just have to change your mind" Sasuke stated as he activated his Sharingan. Naruto charged at him, and the ultimate fight began.
