This is my first SAO fic so please no flames, I'm doing my best. I hope you all enjoy but here's some important info. Parings are currently undecided as of right now and the evolution theory is just being used for story purposes, not going against any religion. Sorry about that, now let's get on with this story!
Chapter 1
I have lived for countless centuries, watching the world rebuild itself. My generation had razed the world, after the ten tails and Madara were loose it was hell. Both had erased nearly every civilization in existence, only the kages, Sasuke and I remained. We both had the sages power but we were wary, after killing black Zetsu and learning of Kaguya we stopped the majority of assaults on the two. The sage visited with us briefly, saying that if Madara and the ten tails combined the stakes would change. Kaguya would take over his body if we weakened the jinchuuriki so we halted advances. We waited until they had separated quite a distance before we moved. To ensure they wouldn't fuse together the kages took on the Juubi and we took on Madara.
The kages agreed to take on the raging beast after it had absorbed Obito and went crazy on everyone. This was best because the kages knew we would stand a better change against the elder Uchiha. Sadly, the plan worked all too well as Madara was dispatched quicker than expected. The elder had not anticipated our attack so soon, his chakra levels were low and his defenses were down. It was a quick and one sided battle. As Sasuke was destroying Madara's eyes and burning the body we sensed the ten tails approaching as it had already killed the kages. All was according to plan as it neared our location before both Sasuke and I got into position. One on one side of a seal and one on the opposing side, the seal meant to separate the beast into us both as so no one would become more powerful than the other. We had agreed upon this a day ago after the sage had recommended it and Sasuke had surprisingly spoken out afterwards. He said, "With how the world is today there is nothing left to rule, no reason to try and become hokage to a village that doesn't exist."
Once the beast had set foot in the large spiral sealing matrix it had begun, the most painful thing Sasuke or I had ever felt in our entire lives up until then. It took no more than a minute but it felt like hours of agonizing pain as the seal forced the demonic being's chakra into our bodies. Once the sealing was done the great sage left, the chakra holding him to the world disappearing. After the sealing it was quiet, nearly every bit of ninja presence was destroyed and only a few civilians remained but their time was limited on the continent, later renamed Pangaea. Sasuke and I opted to disappear, our powers were too great to be used on earth in such a fragile state. Besides, we knew life would begin anew with nature paving the way to peace. Sasuke used his powers that came from the rinnengan to break off a large piece of land and send it out to sea, to be renamed Japan by later inhabitants.
We had lived alone for nearly ten years, learning that we didn't age but after that first decade both of did things we deeply regretted. In many ways we attempted to kill ourselves, even throwing kunai at each other's heads, but nothing worked as our brain and skull regenerated. The only thing we stopped short of was completely disintegrated ourselves but after that we cried, there was no shame as we wept with one another. Knowing we were immortal there was no chance to ascend to our loved ones, to meet them again. A year later something strange happened, we noticed all humans had died and any animals left started to changed. Our residual chakra and the Juubi's caused them to change, others changed more so in special cases. They adapted slowly as no humans were in control of population anymore and there was demonic chakra left over. Scientists in later years would call them dinosaurs, but unlike those men and women, we knew what had caused them to be created in the first place. What we figured out later on was the residue of charka had killed off the humans of our kind because of its poisonous qualities. Once dinosaurs reigned it was mostly quiet for a few decades, dreadfully lonely as well, as there were no strange creatures on our island.
However, nearly two hundred years after the first mutated animal surfaced, did they make their way to our island. Some were large bird like creatures and a select few were massive sharks or some large creature the size of the Ichibi. For the next two centuries or so we needed not leave the island as food came to us but then it happened, a large chunk of rock collided with earth, blacking out everything and plunging the world into an ice age. We survived with ease, already using thick animal fur to keep us warm as many dinosaurs had died from the meteor and the rest died in the cold. Once it had cleared up we noticed something off in the larger continent later known as Asia, some primates had evolved to have more human like qualities. We decided to protect them for a few months, making sure they could live on their own before returning home and leaving them to fend for themselves. We had agreed to help the developing humans only to repopulate the earth as it had been. Once that was over it got quiet for five or six centuries until more advanced humans made the trek across the ocean to our small island. We knew we had to seclude ourselves, our energy caused one of two things to happen. One was they would become calm, overly so to where they would do nothing until they died of hunger or thirst. Second was they would go insane, going on a killing spree or simply staying crazy before being put down by members of the community.
Sasuke and I created a small house atop a mountain with a small genjutsu over it so if anyone did find us we would be intangible and invisible to them. After that we waited centuries, we both had lost track of time as days flew by. I believe the year exactly was 2021 we decided to delve into the world once more, having perfected a seal that kept only our aura at bay we could live with everyone for some time. We had already disguised clones to gather funds and clothes for us before Sasuke and I decided to stay at a town called Kawagoe, not overly large but nothing too small that couldn't allow us room to grow as time progressed. Sasuke opted to wear a simple long sleeved navy blue dress shirt, black dress pants and black dress shoes along with a necklace that had three tome on it and a thin white hoodie. I myself had opted to wear a plain black t-shirt, dark blue jeans, black and red checkered vans, a long sleeved black trench coat with a high collar and my necklace from Tsunade. We were quite tall, both of us at 6'1" while an average height for men here was around 5'10".
After we had arrived in the city we had clones transform into our 'parents' that enrolled us in the town's high school. We had bought our own computers and became beta testers for a new game called Sword Art Online that ran on something called nerve gear. This was one of the main reasons we wanted to come down here, to try this game out. Being a beta, a tester of the basic version would allow us to submerse ourselves into this new technology. Nearly a week later both Sasuke and I laid on beds across from one another, our head gear on and pre-game body scan done.
"At the same time….Link start!" we said before everything went black. The pre-game menu opened up, allowing us to create an avatar but strangely ours was already there, all the way down to every last detail. We opted to ignore that, only assuming that the helmet and body scan we did allowed the game to get all of our features. Once they had entered their names in, both using their real names, they all entered the main plaza with other beta testers before someone appeared on a large platform in front of them. Naruto noticed he was wearing a white t shirt with armor and black pants while Sasuke had all black clothes with the basic leather armor.
"Welcome everyone to the beta of Sword Art Online, I am the tutorial for all beta players." For the next few minutes they listened to the tutorial before they all grouped up and Naruto spoke.
"Ok guys, I think it's best if we stick together and get as far as we can with this beta trial. We can find a safe pass to the next town before leveling up enough to fight the boss for level one of Aincrad and go as far as we can go before our beta test timer is up. How's that sound guys?! One big mass takeover of Aincrad!" shouted Naruto as everyone cheered and took off towards the next town. After that they took a few hours to get basic weapons, Naruto using a dagger while Sasuke used a common sword strapped to his back, sticking out of the side as his old sword used to. Now they sat near the town, discussing new information they had learned.
"So we've got jonin reserves in here, you can write seals while accessing a bit of the Juubi's chakra and I have my rinnengan. That's not much" said Sasuke.
"Good, I wanted it this way. I want to work for everything, my speed, strength, sword skills, everything. This is like a clean slate, we can start anew here so let's get going!" shouted Naruto as he ran off and Sasuke just shook his head, chuckling. He ran off with Naruto and the others to take on the tower castle of the game. That short day was amazing for everyone, we had cleared nearly eighteen levels on our own before the beta timer ran out and we bid farewell as we woke up in the real world.
"That was something else, fully submersing your mind into virtual reality that keeps you from moving your real body while doing everything you normally do in life. I can't wait for the real version to launch in six months" said Naruto as he and Sasuke stood up, a little wobbly at first.
"Let's get ready, school starts in an hour so we don't want to be late" said Sasuke as they both left to shower and change before leaving. For six months they stayed focused heavily on school, learning every bit of information they could before the game started. They had memorized nearly every book the school had given them, even reading multiple online source data banks for info regarding all world happenings. Over the course of the time they had befriended Kazuto Kirigaya, his little sister Suguha, Rika Shinozaki who Naruto took quite a liking too and Keiko Ayano. All seemed rather nice but somehow had never met up, but while they enjoyed life near humans once more another human was discreetly helping them out.

Kayaba Akihiko sat at his desk, finalizing all SAO servers while tweaking the beta game to make it somewhat fair to new gamers when he came across two beta player's data and smiled.
"I had hoped you two would appear so you could join my game, I always wondered how you two would act if you were to be stuck in a situation similar to what you had in your own time. It may shorten the game with you two powerhouses but I'm willing to take the risk" said Kayaba as he locked all info on the two with his login code while burying it deep within servers that he hoped no one would look in.

Six months later
Naruto waved off Rika and Keiko before he and Sasuke walked or really jogged home, both excited to start full version of the game. Once they were inside the house they laid down and turned their computers on. After the two computers were on they checked their wireless signal before hooking up the nerve gear.
"I wonder if we will group up with a few beta testers again and start a guild" said Naruto as the helmet booted up.
"Who knows, let's hope so though" said Sasuke before the helmets came on.
"Together again….Link start!" they said simultaneously before they were thrust into the game.
Well everyone that's the first chapter of Gods of SAO! I know it's not super amazing but it's a start, I've never written an SAO fanfiction so it's going to take a bit to get started on this genre. Also I won't update too much, I've got others stories to write and I might get a job soon. Anyway, thanks for reading and please let me know how it was in a review! Have a good day everyone! :D
