A/N - I would just like to mention that I'm obviously not the owner of the Naruto franchise and I would also like to mention that I have just recently been introduced to the story so I have spent the last couple of months powering my way through the show and I have now just barely read the latest manga. This left me wanting more so I decided that I would write a story where my goal is to look into the distant future and see what that holds in store for our favorite ninjas. That being said, there will almost certainly be mistakes and if you spot any or if you just want to offer insight, please send a review my way. Now enough talk. More Naruto.

Chapter One: A Friendly Sparring Match

Clouds thundered overhead as a crowd of onlookers gathered to watch the display before them. Everyone present knew a storm was coming yet it would not deter the growing amount of onlookers gathering to witness two of the greatest ninja in the history of the Leaf Village clash in one of their now legendary 'sparring' matches.

Flashes of yellow and streaks of lightning were all that could be seen as the untrained eye could scarcely follow the blinding speed which the two combatants moved. One hit. Two hits. Again and again they collided with bone-jarring force as neither seemed to manage to gain the upper hand. Rasengan met Chidori in an earth shattering collision that finally separated them and they stood facing each other with about thirty feet separating them.

Dressed in faded blue jeans, a black and orange shirt and a long white coat with red flames and the 'sixth hokage' glyphs embroidered on the back, Naruto Namikaze was a picture of iron determination when his blue eyes slowly turned green as he entered sage mode. Tall and serene he stood there silently challenging the three tamoes of the trademark Uchiha sharingan. His best friend Sasuke Uchiha, the commanding officer of the anbu black ops, was dressed in the standard Anbu flak jacket, black jeans and a long black trench coat with the Uchiha clan symbol on the back. On top of that, his whole body was enshrouded with some modified form of the lightning element that increased his speed to incredible levels.

In a clap of thunder the rain started to fall and with lightning illuminating the training field, the two men charged at each other and clashed in a brilliant display of taijutsu and ninjutsu that made everyone present shake their heads in wonder. After ten seconds of relentlessly trading blows, Naruto managed to barely duck a haymaker to the jaw to which he returned the favour with an uppercut that rattled Sasuke to his core. This was followed with a kick to the chest that sent Sasuke flying for a good thirty yards before he managed to neatly land on his feet despite the force of the attack.

Sasuke then immediately sensed Naruto's presence behind him and launched himself in a backwards flip that barely dodged an incoming rasengan. "That was a close one", Sasuke thought as he landed behind Naruto.

The 'Flying Thunder God Technique' was a Namikaze speciality that allowed the user to place a seal on any surface that he touched, thus allowing said person to teleport to that location at any given time. The tri-pronged kunai that Naruto used also had the seal etched on them, allowing him to teleport to said kunai if he decided to throw it. This was something that even Sasuke rarely had an answer for. Even with the 'Lightning Flash Step' that he had learned through the sharingan from fighting the Raikage many years past, he could just barely keep up with the intense speed of the Leaf Village's second 'Yellow Flash'.

Without hesitation, Sasuke launched a fire ball jutsu at Naruto who managed to jump just high enough to let it pass harmlessly beneath him and while he was still airborne, made the shadow clone hand sign. Sasuke saw this one coming from a mile away. The next thing he knew, he was being bombarded from all directions by a hundred rasengan wielding shadow clones. He quickly ignited his chidori spear and started slashing and weaving until the spear became a blur of light, quickly dispatching all of the clones. Knowing that one of the shadow clone had managed to touch him, Sasuke chanced a look down only to see a black seal crawling up his arm. On instinct, he turned with a spin-kick that connected his heel solidly to Naruto's jaw, who had appeared only there only a fraction of a second ago. "Your getting predictable", Sasuke grinned as Naruto suddenly disappeared in a puff of smoke. "Am I"? came a familiar voice from behind Sasuke who turned his head slightly to see a rasengan inches away from his head.

Sasuke lifted his hands in resignation. "You win this time dope" he said with his usual smirk as Naruto dissipated the rasengan in his hand with a little more dramatic flair than necessary.

The crowd roared with approval at their two heros as both men shook hands and patted each other on the backs before heading back into the village. At thirty-two years old, they were in the prime of their lives and the Leaf Village was thriving. Then, as quickly as the rain came, it vanished as the sun poked through the clouds and warmed the faces of everyone present.

"Hey dad wait up" Taro Namikaze raced to catch up with his father and following close behind was his best friend Warrin Uchiha. At fourteen years old, Taro had the same girly looks that the fourth hokage had when he was that age. Along with the same blue eyes, he even had his spiky blonde hair grow out over his forehead protector down either side of his face just past the ears, making him look very similar his grandfather Minato. The only real difference was the three red scars on each one of his cheeks that he seemed to inherit from Naruto.

Warrin on the other hand looked identical to Sasuke. From his black hair that cascaded down both sides of his face to his dark eyes he had the same rugged good looks that Sasuke possessed that made women stare constantly. He had also unfortunately inherited the crowds of pesky fan girls that came with the territory. As a matter of fact, Taro had the same problem.

Both boys caught up to their fathers and started walking with them and asking how the match went. Naruto's cheesy grin said it all as Sasuke just grunted at the question. With that, Naruto threw his arm around his son and turned to his friend. "Hey Sasuke. You wanna bring Sakura and Warrin over to my place for supper? Hinata is making a feast that might be too much for our family to handle." "Alright sounds good" Sasuke replied. "I'll get Sakura to bring a tray of cinnamon buns for dessert." With that, Naruto and Taro headed off for the Namikaze estate. Sasuke motioned his son to join them. "Why don't you go ahead without me. I'll be there in an hour." "Sure thing dad" Warrin replied as he ran to catch up with Taro.

Sasuke smiled as he watched his son bump fists with Taro. Such a friendship was a rarity that very few people were blessed with. It reminded him of the bond between himself and Naruto and recalled how lost he had been before Naruto finally succeeded in pulling him out of the depths of his hatred. Naruto was a brother to him and it brought gladness to his heart to know that Warrin shared a similar bond with Taro.

Finally breaking free from his thoughts, Sasuke turned and headed for Uchiha manor.

A/N - I know the names are probably a bit lame but I like 'em so they're staying. Warning... The next chapter might have a lemon in it so if thats not your thing then I suggest you find another source of entertainment.
