ACGOMN: Another Naruto story…I'm hopeless. Naruto and Sasuke are now 21 years old. Sasuke came back from Orochimaru and killed Itachi already. Sasuke finds a journal that belonged to first Uchiha Mandra and Itachi before he killed the family. Naruto is given the journal of the Hokage by Tsunade. Sasuke and Naruto have to go on this mission to learn the secrets of their clans and become stronger than they are now, without any help from Konoha and their closest friends. Meanwhile Sakura, Ino, Hinata, Shikamaru, Chouji, Lee, Neji, Tenten, Shino, Kiba, Sai and two of the sand siblings wait patiently for their return by training harder than ever before. Gaara, Tsunade, and Jiraiya have to stop an upcoming war with this new country called Shi no Yami (Death of Darkness) who plans on taking over the ninja world. More notes will be at the bottom.
I don't own Naruto and never will. I own the plot and any OCs that appear in the story.

"Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke you have permission to leave Konohagakure no Sato on a three year training mission," said the Godaime Hokage, Tsunade. "You may leave now." Naruto and Sasuke only nodded and left the office in Hokage Tower. Naruto is a twenty-one year old Jounin. Sasuke is twenty-one years old Chuunin. Sasuke returned at the age of seventeen years old with completing the task of avenging his family. Otogakure no Sato was defeated last year and Orochimaru dead. Akatsuki disbanded with a majority of the members dead. Tobi, Deidara, and Kisame are the only ones alive. Despite the evil tendencies, all three are seeing a psychologist in Konoha (Ibiki).
The following day Sasuke and Naruto were on their way outside Konoha. No one lese knew that the two of them were leaving. No one saw them off and that's the way that the two of them wanted it. A few days ago Sasuke found something left to him by Itachi. Despite the fact that he hated Itachi's guts, he was dead and no harm to him anymore. That something was a journal of Uchiha Mandra and his own brother even wrote in it. Now with Naruto, Tsunade gave him the journal of the first Four Hokage for it had information from when Konoha was born.
So when Naruto and Sasuke met for their weekly spar they wound up telling the other about the journal. Thus deciding to go search for more things about the past and go on a training trip. They were both sure that Tsunade would let them go and so she did for four years. The first people to find out that Naruto and Sasuke left (besides Tsunade and Jiraiya) was Neji and Gaara (who got a heads up from Tsunade). Neji needed to know because he usually went on missions with Naruto as a two man team. Eventually Sakura was told by Tsunade where her two ex-teammates went because one of them would bother her at least once a day to heal them and they didn't do that in a while. Sakura told Ino who everyone else. Let's just say that the group was not too pleased that Naruto and Sasuke did not at least bother to tell them that they were leaving on a training trip. What was going on with them?
"Sasuke and Naruto are always like this nowadays. Always secretive," Sakura sighed. "It's not fair that they don't tell at least me anything."
"Well," said Shikamaru. "Since they are going to be traveling, training, and gaining more knowledge, we should train too. You do how Sasuke and Naruto get stronger."
"Shikamaru's right," said Neji. "I say we not worry about them. They always come back."
"Neji-nii-san's right," stated Hinata.
"Yeah, we will train and not let them show us up," said Lee, with much excitement. Everyone began talking about different training things to do while Sakura stared off in the distance, ever worrying about Sasuke and Naruto. 'I'm glad that we are all friends. It helps when some of us are separated.'
Meanwhile, back with Naruto and Sasuke who have been traveling for two days or so... They are currently in a smaller town getting lunch, discussing their plan for the next four years. Sasuke suggested that Naruto picked because he has traveled with Jiraiya before. Naruto thought about all the places and towns he has been to before.
"Well, do you mind going scattered out," asked Naruto.
"Like what," asked the Uchiha.
"In order this is where Ero-sannin took me," said Naruto. "Ame, Yuki, Cha, Taki, Kumo, Kiri, and Iwa. Also we could go to Suna and Nami. Anywhere else can you think of?"
"Sounds good," said Sasuke, apathy. "But I know this sounds strange but in the last note in the journal was written by Itachi when he was nineteen. He said that he wanted me to visit some area. And he put a map in there."
"Let's see the map," said Naruto. Sasuke took the journal out, which was now in his pocket. Naruto studied the map. "Yeah if we go to Nami last, we could just rent a boat to get there."
"Sounds like plan," said Sasuke. "Ready to get going, dobe."
"I'm coming, teme," said Naruto, paying for their meal. Naruto and Sasuke ran off in the direction of Ame.
