Yo, how are you all? Well, I've read quite a few stories, and after picking up quite a few techniques, and getting some ideas, I've finally launched my first fan fiction story onto the site. As I've already told you all, this is my first story, and I would really appreciate constructive criticism, don't even waste your time "flaming", they'll be ignored completely. Anyway, without further ado, I bring to you all my first fan fiction, "Heroic Traitors", read and enjoy.
Disclaimer- I do not own Naruto, It belongs to the great Masashi Kishimoto.

How long had it been since the began their mission to retrieve Sasuke? They had already covered so much ground, currently, Naruto was the only member of the squad still moving, He had left Kimimaro up to Lee, and all the other members of his squad had been fighting their separate battles.
'Damn it, I will bring you back Sasuke, everyone is counting on me to bring you home!' Thought the orange clad ninja as he hopped from branch to branch.
The blonde had stayed behind Sasuke for the most part, not letting his black haired friend out of his sight as he followed in hot pursuit.
Naruto glared as he noticed the Uchiha begin to increase his speed, he started leaping faster in order to match his speed with his target.
Sasuke merely smirked as he noticed his blonde follower increase his speed.
'It's only a matter of time now, soon I will have enough power to end Itachi once and for all.' The thought brought an even bigger smirk to his face.
It was at that moment Sasuke noticed they had arrived, he noticed the sound of the roaring waterfall, and noticed the area where the forest ended.
They had arrived…
To the Valley Of End.
Sasuke Leaped at the edge of the cliff and took his place on top of the Madara statue head, he turned and looked to see Naruto on the First Hokage's head.
"Sasuke! Stop this right now! It's time to come back home before I have to make you!" Yelled the blonde genin.
Sasuke merely smirked at the boy on the opposite statue.
"You fool, Orochimaru can offer me way more power than this pathetic village. You don't get it do you? That village has nothing for me. I will join Orochimaru, and after becoming Powerful, I will find and kill Itachi."
Naruto sighed at the Uchiha.
"Sasuke you need to let it go. He's not worth it. Please just end this personal vendetta and come home, Before I force you to."
"Heh, that's a laugh, you, beat me? I would love to see that loser."
Naruto gritted his teeth. "Careful what you wish for, Bastard."
"You know Naruto, they say this canyon, along with the waterfall, was formed from the fight between the First Hokage, and Madara Uchiha."
"And? What's your point?" Questioned the blonde.
"My point is, since there's no way in hell I'm going back to that weak little village, why don't you try and stop me? Right here, right now."
'I knew the Secret training with the Pervert would come in handy, oh well, this is it.' Thought the blonde.
"Fine Sasuke, have it your way."
The blonde vanished from his spot on the Statues head, reappearing directly behind of Sasuke and Launching his right fist directly into the Uchiha's back. The blow sent Sasuke soaring through the air, Naruto took this time to reappear behind Sasuke, putting his two fists together the blonde smashed his fists down onto the Uchiha's face. Sasuke was sent plummeting downward, straight into the water below, causing a massive splash.
Sasuke winced in pain as he sunk to the bottom of the river.
'How the hell? I didn't even sense him behind me, how on earth did he get so damn powerful?'
Above the River, Naruto was standing atop the waves with his improved chakra control, he had a serious look in his eye as he eyed the water, crossing his arms over his chest, he began to think.
'Now, where the hell is he.' Thought the blonde.
The blonde watched the water like a hawk, he turned his attention to his right when he noticed a popping sound, bubbles were escaping from the water below.
Naruto smirked as he watched Sasuke begin to climb out of the water, the Uchiha struggled to stand on his feet as he glared at the blonde.
"It seems you've been taking secret training sessions." Muttered the Uchiha.
"Yeah, well since Kakashi is useless, I thought I might as well train with my true sensei Jiraiya."
"Training with one of the sannin eh? I might have underestimated you."
"Oh you definitely did." Whispered Naruto.
The blonde rushed towards Sasuke at a break-neck speed, the blonde leaped into the air and Launched his right leg outward to roundhouse kick Sasuke, the Uchiha ducked just in time to avoid the blow, but as he attempt to uppercut the blonde with his left fist, he saw only air.
Naruto reappeared to the left of the obsidian haired ninja, and lodged his right fist firmly into Sasuke's cheek. Sasuke lost his footing from the blow and began to fall backwards, thinking quickly, the Uchiha back-flipped onto his feet and Launched his left leg into Naruto's ribs.
Naruto was sent skidding across the river from the kick, skidding to a halt the blonde began to sink about fifty yards from Sasuke. The Uchiha ran towards the spot where the blonde began to sink to try and get another hit in, to his surprise, and shock, his ankles were grabbed by his opponent's hands.
Naruto tightened his grip as his hands reached out from under the water and onto Sasuke's ankles. Naruto somersaulted out of the river, and, taking Sasuke with him, began to flip the Uchiha in the air, after building enough force, Naruto released his foe's ankles and sent Sasuke Flying into the wall of the canyon, forming a small crater on impact.
'This is ridiculous, how is he dominating me in this fight? This fight should already be over, with him lying Dead! I'm going to have to use the curse mark.' The black haired boy thought.
Sasuke struggled to his feet, he was exhausted, Naruto had not wasted any free time, he must have been secretly training for months. But Sasuke also had a trump card, the thought gave him a grin.
"Naruto, I'm going to show you why Your village's ninja are weak! Look at what will be your destruction now!"
Now Naruto had been thinking about what Sasuke was saying, maybe Konoha wasn't all he thought it was, after all, he had no respect from the villagers, and only after he defeated Kiba and Neji had anyone even shown they knew of his existence. Hell, even when he defeated Gaara, Sakura believed Sasuke had saved her.
'More and more I'm starting to believe Sasuke has the right idea, I'm still not sure though.' Was all the blonde was thinking.
"To hell with that village boy, It's only been holding you back, leave it, be your own boss, start your own village if you wish, make your own rules." Spoke the Fox.
'You choose now to speak fox? While I'm starting to wonder if you've got the right idea, I can't do anything about that until this Idiot is out of my way.' Thought the blonde as glared at his opponent.
"You read my mind boy, I'll give you some of my chakra, finish this fool quickly, I tire of his constant Boasting."
Naruto nodded as the fox's chakra began to flow through his body, Sasuke began to worry as red chakra began to swarm around Naruto's body, His nails grew into claws, his canines grew in size and became sharp, his whisker marks grew in depth, Naruto closed his eyes as he let the rest of the fox's chakra into his body.
Sasuke began to shake from the sight he had just witnessed, this enemy was no joke, Sasuke's eyes only widened further as Naruto opened his eyes to reveal his pupil to be in a pupil shape, and his eyes colored red.
'What is he? I doubt even the curse mark form will help me now, this chakra is almost suffocating.'
Naruto looked at his reflection in the water, then to his hands, the he led his hand into his mouth and felt his newly developed fangs.
'This, is going to be fun.' The Fox container thought.
Sasuke took this moment to transform into his curse mark form, he gritted his teeth as the fiery curse mark shapes appeared all over his face and body.
Naruto looked at Sasuke in Curiosity as the Uchiha's skin turned darker, turning a dark grey, in addition, his hair began to grow much longer, but not losing it's style. A black star shaped mark appeared on the bridge of Sasuke's nose as the transformation continued, in pain, Sasuke kneeled to the ground, holding his head with his hands and screaming, his back began to move and squirm, as two wings shot out of his back, shaped like webbed hands.
Sasuke slowly stood, looking at his new body in his reflection in the water below, although he knew his strength had significantly, he knew he was still a bit weaker than his opponent, and this worried him greatly.
'There's no way in hell I can win this fight, but I'm going to need to fight in order to get away.' The curse marked Uchiha thought.
Naruto gave a feral grin to Sasuke before dashing at him and slashing at the Uchiha. Sasuke was taken by surprise by the sudden attack, but none the less blocked the slashes, Naruto swiped his left hand at Sasuke's chest, slashing the Uchiha and leaving a large gash across his chest.
Sasuke grunted in pain as a small amount of blood began to ooze out of the gash, he had to time to worry about the wound, as Naruto was launching a full scale assault against the Uchiha.
Naruto Implanted his fist into Sasuke's stomach, sending him flying upwards into the sky, Naruto leapt into the air, raising his right leg over his head, shot it downward on top of the Uchiha's head. Sasuke was sent downward towards the water, but as he neared closer and closer to the water below, Naruto appeared, and, Grabbing him by his left ankle, launched him into a nearby canyon wall.
Sasuke was done, and he knew it. There was no chance he was even going to get up.
'This is it, I'm finished.' The Uchiha thought as he coughed up a small amount of blood.
Naruto began to walk slowly towards Sasuke, the seriousness never leaving his face as he looked at the slightly conscious Uchiha.
Sasuke smiled weakly at Naruto.
"Well loser, I guess you surpassed me, maybe Konoha has some decent fighters after all. I mean, look at you and me."
"No Sasuke, you were right Konoha breeds weak ninja, and we are nothing alike, I could kill you right now, but you know what?"
"What?" Sasuke inquired.
"I am going to let you leave, and go to Orochimaru, I want you to train with him knowing I defeated you so easily, get stronger so maybe when we meet again you won't disgrace the "Oh so great" Uchiha name." Naruto spoke, his voice filled with sarcasm.
Naruto began to slowly walk away, his victory over the Uchiha being enough of a prize.
Sasuke looked at Naruto with a burning hatred in his eye, the boy had not only defeated him, he pitied him. He watched as Naruto vanished from view, Sasuke began to slowly stand up, his curse mark form receding, leaving only his battered body to stand in the small crater he was thrown into.
'I will get you Naruto, along with Itachi, you both will die at my hand.' Thought the Uchiha, before slowly limping his way to the forest.
Naruto made his way through the forest, now out of his demonic form. He had started to sense Kakashi before he threw Sasuke, he had let Sasuke go, because, in his mind, he didn't owe that village anything.
Into the distance he saw Kakashi closing in with his summon, Pakkun. They both seemed surprised to see the orange clad ninja leaping towards them.
They closed their distance relatively quickly. Meeting a random branch. Kakashi chose to speak first.
"Naruto, did you find Sasuke?" The copy ninja questioned.
"I'm sorry Kakashi-Sensei, but Sasuke has Escaped, I couldn't defeat him." Naruto lied.
Kakashi's eyes widened.
"Just be thankful your alive Naruto, Sasuke chose his path, just like you are free to choose yours."
"I know, thank you Sensei." The blonde ninja replied, thinking about his earlier thoughts during his fight with Sasuke.
Kakashi let out a sigh.
"We should get back to the village. A medic team already picked up the others."
"Yeah, lead the way Sensei." Naruto replied.
The two bounded off through the branches again, every now and then Kakashi would look at Naruto with a worried eye.
'He barely even has a scratch on him, and I thought he would be more upset than this.' The sharingan user thought to himself.
Naruto had different thoughts on his mind.
'Should I leave or stay? Granny Tsunade will mark me as a traitor if I go, but I'm not going to get much stronger if I stay, I need to travel, I need to train harder than ever, I have my own dreams, and they just aren't going to happen if I keep heading down this road.' The blonde thought.
The blonde gave a sad smile.
'I've decided, I'm leaving Konoha.'
First major fight scene I've ever done, good, bad, need improvement? Whatever you guys decide, I hope some people enjoyed it. Pairings? Yes, No? Here's a little preview of the next chapter.
'If I'm going to survive while traveling out in the real world as a missing nin, I might want to see If I can get some friends to come along for the ride.'
