Chapter 1

Okay, so for those who are getting the warm fuzzies with my other story... Yeah. Not happening here. This first chapter, well... Absolutely do not read this if you're squeamish. This features an Elfen-Lied style death, and by that I mean really brutal and uncalled for. Also if you're fans of Sakura, turn around and leave. She's not making it out and dies. If you really want to read this story and you have issues with character death and mutilation and being squeamish, skip chapter one. This is the worst of it. Please don't flame me, because I did warn you ahead of time about what you were getting into. Keep in mind that it does get better after the first chapter, and all of the characters will be OOC because they're about to be traumatized. Kimimaro doesn't actually even make an appearance in this story, he just lived and is Oro's new body, so sorry Kimimaro fans.

Now for the gore. Don't kill me please.

How had it gone so wrong so fast?

Naruto stood, forcing himself to stay conscious. The stupid seal wasn't going to stop him!

Sasuke stumbled away from Orochimaru, and the Sanin smiled.

"I only need your eyes."

Naruto was too slow as the wind jutsu hurtled towards his terrified teammate.

A flash of pink.

Sakura.

The girl was standing in front of Sasuke, arms outstretched, eyes unwavering and brave.

Slice!

Sasuke wasn't entirely sure what happened.

One moment he'd been about to die, terrified and knowing that he was helpless to his fate.

Then something pink shot in front of him. He only vaguely had time to register that it was Sakura before something struck her and she slammed into him, knocking them to the ground.

He stared in shock and confusion as her body split apart in his grasp, blood and entrails coloring him red.

Then his mind caught up to him.

He stared in horror. "Sakura. H-hey, Sakura? That's not funny. Get up." His voice was high pitched and he stared in shock down at his teammate's glazed over green eyes as her severed head laid next to him.

Naruto was screaming.

Then memories of that night raced back into him and his vision fogged over. All the blood and death caused by his brother.

Now it had happened again, not because of his brother's insanity but because of him and his foolishness…

He puked on the side Sakura's head wasn't, dragging himself away from her remains with his arms because his legs wouldn't work.

She's dead. I was so weak and I just wouldn't accept that and now Sakura's dead because of me. I'm going to die. Naruto's going to die.

This guy isn't as strong as Itachi, and he did this.

I'll never win against Itachi. All that'll happen is this.

He couldn't move. He felt cold.

Naruto roared. Was that Naruto? It didn't sound like Naruto at all.

SPLASH!

More red splattered on him.

He looked up, scared and shaking, to where his friend was collapsing, a hole in his side, to the ground.

The snake grinned and stood over Sasuke.

"How fun. Your brother never would have made these fun faces for me… I wonder what he'll do when he sees the state I'll leave you in, Sasuke-kun."

The snake pinned him down and reached for his eye. Sasuke's shaking breaths came quicker, but he was too scared to move. Help me, somebody help me!

Then there was pain and he was screaming and it hurt it HURT IT HURT!

There was nothing but blackness and pain and wetness on his right side. He shrieked in agony, thrashing about and crying. Then the hand reached for his other one, and Sasuke knew true terror.

I'm helpless.

Somebody help me!

Anybody!

Then it happened again.

Everything was darkness and pain. He was in so much pain.

"Aww, did that hurt?"

The snake laughed and laughed. "Weak and pathetic. Thanks for the eyes. I'll put them to much better use than you did."

And as he walked away, Sasuke cried. There was no dignity left. No pride.

It hurt and he wanted it to stop.

"Sa… Sasu… Sasuke!"

Sasuke's screams and cries had been subdued to broken whimpers by that point, too exhausted for anything else.

He lost consciousness like that, filthy, covered in blood, and utterly destroyed.

O

Naruto lurched to his feet, finally able to stand after having to hear that as he struggled to move. He stumbled over to Sasuke, who was curled into a fetal position as best he could and whimpering and crying, completely broken.

Naruto could hardly move. There was a hole where he was very sure he wasn't supposed to have one and he was going to bleed out and die.

But Sakura was dead and Sasuke needed more help than he did.

He tore his jacket sleeve, the one not coated in his own blood, and tied it around Sasuke's eyes, trying to stop the bleeding.

Then he opened the scroll. There had to be some way to help them. It couldn't possibly be worse than what was already happening.

Iruka burst out, ready to scold him, and then turned sheet white. "No… nononononononono… Naruto! Sakura! Sasuke! What… what…"

"Orochimaru!" Naruto snarled. "Help Sasuke! Please! I'll get Sakura back." He turned his blue eyes towards the unseeing green of her friend. "I'll bring her back… I'll…"

Naruto felt the extra seal on his stomach break as something vile reached for his consciousness.

Iruka sealed her into a scroll sickly and picked up Sasuke, who whimpered in his sleep, finally unconscious. "No. You're going to the hospital."

Naruto's eyes were turning red as reality set in.

Orochimaru did this; hurt him, killed Sakura, and destroyed Sasuke.

Kill kill kill, the unmistakable voice of the Kyuubi roared.

And the nine tails chakra roared out, healing Naruto's wound almost instantaneously.

He lunged after Orochimaru.

And that was the last thing he remembered.

O

Kabuto had just met with Orochimaru, who had finished his task. He felt proud that his master trusted him to remain as a spy in Konoh…

A deafening roar tore through the forest.

A flash of red chakra later and he was staring in horror as his eyes met, then he was gone.

Okay, it's over. You can open your eyes now... The really dark part is done with. I had to open it up this way because it's kinda important for the beginning of the plot and I really didn't feel like rewriting the entire Naruto series up until now as nothing is different up to this point.

Okay, for those of you who just skipped to the end here or something, I'll go over what happened. Naruto didn't get knocked out by the seal and could get up after, but isn't fast enough when Orochimaru decides to use a wind jutsu to kill Sasuke before he steals his sharingan. Sakura, however, is fast enough and jumps in the way. She's thrown into Sasuke by the force of the blow and is also cut to pieces. Sasuke has a flashback to the Uchiha Massacre and is rendered unable to fight. Naruto tries to fight back, but Orochimaru puts a hole in his side to knock him down and steals Sasuke's eyes while he's still awake. Orochimaru leaves Sasuke to die, and Naruto is left there with his dead teammate and his traumatized one.

Oh, by the way, I hope none of you are Kabuto fans. I almost forgot I wrote that in. Remember the demonic warning? Here it comes.

Yeah, this is hardly anything like my other story. Don't worry, that one will not turn out dark like this one. That one has a happy ending. This one just has a really brutal beginning.
