"Talking"
"Demon"
"Thoughts"
A Different Path of Life
Through the vast forests of Konoha Naruto ran in hot pursuit of Sasuke.
"Where are you you basterd, you can't run from me forever!"
Naruto thought to himself angrily as he began to run faster. After several minutes of running, Naruto reaches a clearing where
he sees that Sasuke has come to a complete stop.
"Go away dobe, leave me alone."
Sasuke coldly spat as Naruto came to a complete stop.
"Not gonna happen not without you I'm not."
"I'm through wasting my life at that village, I must become stronger, I will kill Itachi, Orochimaru will help me achieve my goal."
Sasuke stated with no emotion in his voice.
"You really think that snake freak wants to help you?!" "He sees you as is his next host!"
Naruto angrily shouted at the Uchiha.
"So what?" "As long as Itachi dies, I don't care."
Sasuke said, his tone unchanging.
"I made a promise to Sakura and Konoha that I would bring you back, I intend to keep, like it or not."
Naruto spat as he got into a fighting stance.
"Have it your way dobe."
Sasuke returns to his normal self and also gets in a stance.
"This time I'll use my full power."
Sasuke angrily states as he raises his chakra to its highest level.
"Same here Sasuke."
Sasuke charges before Naruto has a chance to power up and delivers a powerful kick that sends the startled blond crashing
through several trees.
"Humph, idiot."
Sasuke says as he watches his former teammate fly back. Naruto quickly gets up and snarls at Sasuke.
"Is that all you have Sasuke?"
RAAAAAA!!!!
Naruto charges Sasuke and quickly makes a few hand seals.
"Kage Bunshin Jutsu!"
Several clones appeared around Sasuke.
"Typical."
Sasuke smirked and took out a few Kunai and stabbed the two clones.
"Perfect."
Naruto smiled as both of the clones grabbed on too Sasuke.
" What?"
A surprised Sasuke mumbled as this event took place. The fake Naruto's glowed brightly and to Sasuke shock detonated causing
a large explosion. After the smoke cleared a vary battered and angry Sasuke was left standing.
"What was that?"
Asked a very pissed off Sasuke.
"Something I've been working real hard on, my exploding clone Jutsu."
"THAT'S IT!"
Sasuke yelled as his cursed seal began to react.
"I'LL KILL YOU!!"
Sasuke disappears and reappears behind Naruto. Sasuke kicks Naruto into the air and jumps after him
"LION RENDAN!!"
Sasuke yells as he begins to viciously punch and kick Naruto. He then slams Naruto into the ground headfirst.
"Heh, stay down idiot, stay down."
Sasuke began to walk away when Naruto stopped him by grabbing his ankle.
"Wh-why you running away Sasuke?"
Naruto choked out as he coughed up a little blood.
"Do you see me running dobe?"
Sasuke says as he bends down andpicks Naruto up by the collar and holds him up.
"If you still want to live, I suggest you not fallow me."
Sasuke says darkly while he punches Naruto across the face with all his might sending him crashing to the ground.
"The next time I see you I wont hesitate to kill you."
He smirks as he begins to walk away. Naruto Slowly starts to rise to his feet.
(Inside Naruto's mind)
"Hey fox lend me your chakra; It's time to end this".
"Very well kit I'll lend you more then enough chakra to slaughter this foolish mortal."
"I'm not going to kill him, just knock him around a bit."
"You're to soft kit, why not just kill him and feast on his flesh?"
"I made a promise to Sakura to…"
"Fine kit do as you wish, you'll come around eventually."
Kyuubi said as she began to laugh sadistically.
"Whatever."
The demon fox's red chakra began to pour out of Naruto's body.
Sasuke felt an overwhelming evil begin to manifest itself behind him. He quickly turns around.
"What the hell?!?"
A terrified Sasuke thought as this strange red demonic chakra flowed out of Naruto's body.
"Hehehe. Lets play Sasuke."
A demonic Naruto laughed darkly while he slowly walked toward Sasuke.
"Na-Naruto, what the hell?"
Sasuke whispered in terror as the demon/Naruto got closer to him.
"Stay back!!"
Sasuke yells as he jumps backand performs a few fire hand seals.
"DRAGON FIRE NO JUTSU!!!"
Sasuke yells as a huge stream of fire bursts through his mouth and engulfs Naruto. As the flames died down, only a smoking crater remained."Did I kill him?"
Sasuke thinks to himself as he gasps for air as he used a great deal of chakra in hopes of killing the demon.
"Is that the best you can do Sasuke?" "How sad."
The demonic Naruto whispers in Sasuke's ear, which makes him turn around extremely fast, only to be headbutted by Naruto.
Sasuke falls to the ground as blood starts to run down his face.
"What's wrong Sasuke?"
Naruto said darkly as he began to laugh.
"I thought you were stronger then me?" "Don't tell me your hurt already, we are far from over."
Naruto kicks Sasuke with great force in the ribs sending him spiraling back. Sasuke grabs his ribs and starts to vomit blood.
"AHHH!!!!" "YOU FUCK!!!!" "MY RIIBS, YOU BROKE MY FUCKING RIBS!!!" AHHHHHHHH!!
"Awww to bad Sasuke, I didn't realize you were that weak. If I did I probably wouldn't have kicked you so hard."
Demonic Naruto laughs at his former friend's pain. Sasuke rolls over on his back still holding on to his sides whimpering in pain.
Naruto walks over to Sasuke and places his foot on Sasuke's chest.
"And to think I once looked up to you as a brother."
He said as he began to stompdown on Sasuke's chest causing him to quiver in pain. "
Na-Na-ruto stop pl-please."
Sasuke begged as blood poured out of his mouth.
"Had enough have we?" "Alright then I guess it's time to go back."
Naruto bends down pinches Sasuke's neck a cretin way causing him to pass into a deep sleep. Naruto sits down and begins to
form a few hand seals. Naruto does this until he feels Kyuubi's chakra slowly disperse from his body
"Well that takes care of that."
Naruto thinks as he gets up and walks over to Sasuke. Naruto lifts him up, placing Sasuke over his shoulder and sets of toward
Konoha. Above, a canceled Orochimaruwho had been watching the entire time looked at Naruto with a
sadistic look on his face.
"Yesss." "Very good Naruto." "Just as I thought, Sasuke was no match for you." "Soon, very soon I will make you mine."
Orochimaru thought to himself as he sank back into the tree. Several hours later, Naruto along with a battered, unconscious
Sasuke reached the front gates of Konoha. As Naruto entered through the gates, he was greeted by a large number of villagers
including the current Hokage Tsunade, and his current Naruto sensei Jiraiya.
"Welcome back Naruto!"
Jiraiya shouts happily as he sees his young student came walking up to them.
"And you have Sasuke way to go!"
"What Sasuke's really back!?"
Ino and Sakura said excitedly running toward an exhausted Naruto. The two reach Naruto only to stop dead in their tracks when
they see the beaten, bloody mess that was Sasuke.
"Wh-What have you down to my Sasuke you dumb ass!?!"
Ino screeches at Naruto.
"I had no choice he.."
He is interrupted by Sakura who slaps him with all her might across the face.
"HOW DARE YOU, YOU IDIOT!!!"
Sakura yells at Naruto as a tear runs down her face from looking at her battered love.
"He wouldn't.."
She this time punches him.
"DON'T YOU DARE LIE YOU TO ME IDIOT!!" "I know why you did this, you were jealous of Sasuke." "You thought if you beat him
you would become cool."
She states coldly as a stunned Naruto and Tsunade listened.
"No one likes you, you mess up, you dirt, you scum." "Even if you were to become Hokage no one would acknowledge you, we
would all still wish you were dead."
Tears began to flow from Naruto's eyes as she said what was on her mind.
"Why don't you just leave and do us all a favor?" "No one wants you here any more, take a hint."
She finished what she had to say and her and Ino took Sasuke. They began to walk away when a few of the villagers also began
to say what was on their minds.
"Yeah demon die all ready."
"You little shit, if it weren't for you the 4th would still be alive today."
"Take this and die!"
One villager yelled as he picked up a rock and threw it at Naruto. It hit Naruto dead in the forehead making a sickly thud noise;
a little blood began to trickle down his face. Naruto wiped the blood and tears away as more villagers began to bombard him with
stones.
"STOP IT RIGHT NOW OR I'LL KILL ALL OF YOU!!!!!!!!!!!"
Tsunade yelled at the top of her lungs causing the villagers to drop their stones in fear of their Hokage's words.
"Were do you all get off?" "Naruto risks his life to bring back that Sasuke kid and this is how you think him?"
Tsunade as angrily with her fist raised.
"So, you want me to leave then?" "Fine I'm gone."
Naruto whispers sadly.
"Fuck this place!"
He yells angrily, Naruto then grabs his leaf headband throws it on the ground turns away and starts to walk toward the gates.
Jiraiya pushes through the crowd and runs to Naruto and places a hand on his shoulder. Naruto grabs his hand and pushes it
away. Tsunade appears behind him and wraps him up in a hug.
"Don't let what they said get to you Naruto, they didn't mean to…"
"Let go of me old hag or I'll kill you."
Naruto growled in a rather demonic voice scarring everyone and causing Tsunade to momentarily let go of him. Naruto walks
away from her a few feet and turn around to face the village.
"One day I'll return, one day and slaughter all of you." " I'll make all of you feel the pain, despair, and suffering all of you
made me feel all these years."
He then walks out the gates, drops his chakra so that no one could sense him and disappears.
An hour later, Tsunade orders every Shinobi of Konoha after Naruto with orders to bring him back, with force if necessary. Kakashi
could be seen running through the forest at high speeds looking for the ever-elusive Naruto.
"Where are you Naruto?" "Come out; come out wherever you are."
He thought as he jumps from tree to tree watching with the eye of a hawk for any movements of orange or whatever out of the
ordinary.
"You can't hide from me forever."
Meanwhile, a heavyhearted Naruto walks lazily through the forest.
"Rejected and hated by the very people that you love and had sworn to protect how very tragic, I watched the whole thing."
Naruto immediately recognized the owner of the voice, Orochimaru. Naruto quickly grabbed a kunai andwildly looked around.
"Now, now I'm not here to fight, just to offer you a proposition."
"What take over my body?" "I'm stupid but not that stupid".
Naruto states as he is still scanning the trees.
"No that's not the reason I'm here." "I cant take over your body simple because you are all ready the container of the nine tailed
fox, which is why I didn't mark you the first time."
Orochimaru says as he comes out of a tree behind Naruto."The reason I want to help you is because when I look at you, I see a younger version of me."
Naruto turns quickly around and tries to stab Orochimaru, but he easily stops Naruto and knocks the kunai out of his hand.
"Misunderstood, hated and cast out by the world for what you are and not who you are."
"Living your whole life alone, no family or friends, how sad."
"If you come with me, I promise that you'll never be alone and hated for who you are ever again, and I'll train
you to be far more powerful then you could have ever dreamed of being."
Naruto thought about this and finally said;
"Alright then I accept your offer, sensei."
Naruto says as he bows before Orochimaru. Doing so makes Orochimaru smile, having the young demon bow before him was
to much. Orochimaru manipulation had once again drawn in another follower, or so he thought.
"If you help me so that I can take my revenge upon Konoha, I'll do whatever you say, master."
"Then raise my young apprentice, this will hurt."
Orochimaru quickly forms a few hand seals, and bites Naruto on the neck. Orochimaru pulls back and watches Naruto closely. The
pain came and hit Naruto like a bolt of lightning; he grabs his neck and howls out in pain. Naruto soon collapses on the ground
unconscious. Orochimaru picks the fallen boy up and gently places him over his shoulder and disappears.
Elsewhere, in a hospital room, Sakura is sitting next to a bed where Sasuke sleeps.
Flashback.
"No one likes you, you mess up, you dirt, you scum." "Even if you were to become Hokage no one would acknowledge you, we
would all still wish you were dead." "Why don't you just leave and do us all a favor?" "No one wants you here any more, take a
hint."
End of flashback.
"How could I have said that to him, he's had such hard life already."
Sakura thought sadly to herself.
"The idiot had it coming; some one should have done it long ago."
InnerSakura stated coldly
"Tomorrow I'll go tell him how sorry I am for saying such cruel things to Naruto."
"Then he'll go back to being the same stupid idiot as before."
Inner Sakura stated.
"I hope."
A few hours later with the sun starting to set, Orochimaru reaches a small hut and enters. Deep into the earth Orochimaru travels
with the still unconscious Naruto.
"With the special curse seal I've given you Naruto, your true power will soon be awakened, yes Naruto, I will mold you into the perfect
killing machine, and being the container of the Kyuubi, you will be unstoppable."
Orochimaru finally reaches his living quarts, lays Naruto down on a small bed.
"Tomorrow, my young apprentice your training with the sound shale begin."
