Edit:

AN: Hello dear readers. Now, the main reason I put this here is because I would like to know, who do you want to be put in the harem? Now Hinata is going to be in it for sure, but people like Sakura or Ino, I'm kind of on the off side about. Simply because neither have really done ANYTHING to prove that they are worthy for Naruto to accept affection from. I know that some of you may not like that, but that is simply how I feel at the moment. If you want, try to convince me otherwise. Anyway, I've rambled on long enough. Time to get to the chapter!

Chapter 1

After actually managing to pass the written part of the exam, team 7 moved on to the second part of the exam. While inside of the Forest of Death, the team was attacked by Orochimaru. Using the Kyuubi's chakra, Naruto fought back against Orochimaru as Sasuke was too frozen with fear to fight back.

Once Naruto stopped Orochimaru's snake summon, Orochimaru uses his elongated tongue to restrain Naruto. "Hey! Disgusting! Let me go!" Naruto shouted as he struggled against Orochimaru's hold on him.

Using his tongue, Orochimaru lifted up Naruto's shirt, revealing his seal. "I see. When your anger is risened, the Kyuubi's chakra is released." Orochimaru say as his fingertips glow a purple fire. "Gogyō Fūin!(Five Pronged Seal)" Orochimaru suddenly thrusted his fingers into Naruto's stomach.

Naruto screamed in pain as the seal was placed over his. His eyes slowly went from being red and slitted, to his normal cerulean blue. Naruto quickly went into unconsciousness before being tossed aside by Orochimaru, setting his eyes back to his prize. Sasuke Uchiha.

Mindscape:

Naruto woke up in what appears to be a dark and wet sewer. "Huh?" Slower gathering his bearings, Naruto got up and looked around. "Where… Where am I?" Naruto started walking down a long, seemingly endless corridor.

After a while of walking, Naruto noticed a strange door. 'What's this?' He wonders as he stares at the door. Naruto walks inside, finding himself in a dark void. He walks into seemingly nothing before spotting something. Getting closer, it appeared to be a person, a man in fact. 'Is he… Floating?'

"Ah. You're finally here. I was wondering when we would meet." The man says before turning around to face Naruto.

He had pale white skin, with pale red hair and a long goatee. The man wore a white robe with six black tomoe around the neck part that confused Naruto the most was his eyes. They were unlike anything he's ever seen. The were purple, with black rings around his pupil. 'What the… What is up with his eyes?' Naruto wonders.

The man chuckles. "Now, we will get to that soon." He says. Naruto was surprised. Had this man just read his mind? "So, how about we get to introductions?" The man asks.

"O-Oh!" Naruto said, finally finding his voice. "I'm Naruto. Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto replies to him.

The man smiles. "My name is Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki. Otherwise known as Rikudō Sennin.(Sage of Six Paths)" The man now known as Hagoromo says before motion Naruto to come closer.

Naruto slowly walks over to Hagoromo. "Um… Do you know why I'm here?" Naruto asks. "Oh that's simple. I brought you here." Hagoromo replies.

"But... How? Why?"

"Well, you see Naruto, there's something I must give you. A gift. Because of our limited amount of time, we must do this quickly." Hagoromo says before placing his hand onto Naruto's head.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Naruto asks him confusedly.

"This may hurt a bit, but it will well be worth it."

"What are you-" Naruto said before feeling something strange in his eyes. They started hurting, making Naruto feel like someone took a kunai and shoved it in both of his eyes and twisted them. The pain was unbearable. He let out a scream of excruciating pain as this continued, eventually passing out due to the pain. Before completely blacking out, Naruto heard the words of Hagoromo.

"You may not understand what I have given you Naruto. You may also not understand the responsibility that comes with it. But, I know that you will do great things. You Naruto Uzumaki… Are a truly special child… A child of prophecy if you will…"

After that, everything went dark.

Outside:

Naruto grumbled as he awoke. "Huh?" He sat up. "What the… Where am…" Naruto thought out loud as he looked around. 'Was… Was that a dream?' That was something he couldn't figure out the answer to. If it was a dream, then why had it felt so real?

Naruto's thoughts were quickly pushed aside as he felt something. It felt dark… and cold… What was it? It actually reminded him of...

'Oh no! Sasuke! Sakura!' He quickly got up and raced outside. 'I hope I'm not too late!'

Getting outside, he saw a strange event taking place. He saw the sound team and his teammates. Of the sound team, Zaku and Kin were unconscious, while Dosu was looking at Sasuke with fear in his eyes. "Sasuke?" His eyes widened as he saw his friend. He was most of his body was covered in this flame like pattern. Sakura, hearing Naruto, turns her head to him. "Naruto." She said in slight relief.

"Sakura-Chan, what happened? What's up with Sasuke?" Naruto asks her, confused by sudden change in events. Before she could answer, the last standing sound nin offers their earth scroll in exchange of letting them go. He places it on the ground before going to grab his fallen teammates. 'Wow… Did Sasuke take them down or something?' Naruto wondered.

Dosu picked up Zaku and was about to grab Kin, until shuriken shot his way making him dodge to the side. "What the?" Naruto said as he saw Sasuke throw the shuriken. "Sasuke, what are you doing?" Sasuke doesn't reply as he flashes through a few handsigns.

"Katon: Hōsenka no Jutsu!(Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu)" Sasuke shouted as he shot multiple small fireballs towards Dosu, who just barely manages to dodge the projectiles.

"Sasuke stop! He's already given us the scroll!" Naruto shouted to Sasuke. He ignores him once more before going through a few more handsigns. "Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu!(Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu)" Sasuke launches a massive fireball towards Dosu. He narrowly managed to escaped, but ended up burning his foot slightly. Dosu looks towards Kin before running off, feeling that she's as good as dead.

Sasuke prepared to fire another fireball. "Sasuke stop!" Sasuke stops mid handsign and turns towards Naruto, looking at him with his Sharingan still active. "Enough of this. We already have the scroll. There's no need to fight anymore. They're gone now." Naruto said, trying to get Sasuke to stop.

"Not all of them." Sasuke says as he looks towards the unconscious Kin. "Huh?" Naruto looks and sees her. "Sasuke. No."

"Be quiet dobe. Like you understand." Sasuke says as he slowly starts approaching Kin with a kunai in hand. Naruto races right in front of him before he could reach Kin. "Sasuke. I will not stand here and let you do this."

"Move." Sasuke commanded. "Make me." Naruto stood his ground. "Very well the… Dobe!" Sasuke suddenly kicked Naruto in the side into a tree. "Naruto!" Sakura shouted in concern. "Dobe. Do you really think you can take on me? I'm an Uchiha. An elite. And now, with this power, I'm even stronger. I'm Invincible!" Sasuke shouted.

Team 10 and team Gai watch in horror as Sasuke attacked his own teammate. None of them knew what to do. All, except for Neji, felt that they couldn't do anything. Neji wanted to observe them. By far, out of the Rookie 9, Sasuke seemed the most threatening. He needed to learn more in case he had to fight him.

Kin groan in pain as she finally managed to start waking up. She couldn't move her body because of Zaku's earlier attack. She looks up and sees the Uchiha they were sent after, with a kunai in hand. Seeing the kunai, she looks to find her teammates, only to find them gone. They had… Abandoned her.

Naruto grunted in pain as he looks up at Sasuke, who had his kunai raised up. He had to do something, or else that girl was gonna die! But what could he do? He wasn't as strong as Sasuke. He wasn't as smart. He wasn't… He wasn't…

Sakura tried to stop Sasuke from doing this. But she was too far away when he started bringing down his Kunai. "No!" She shouted as he brought it down onto Kin who had tears in her eyes. Kin closed her eyes and waited for the pain to come. But… It never came. She opens her eyes and saw Naruto in front of her.

Everyone gasped as they see Sasuke's kunai suddenly hit against an invisible force. They were even more surprised with Naruto's speed. He had managed to get there in what seemed like a split second.

Sasuke's eyes narrowed as he looks at Naruto, whose eyes are closed. "Dobe. Get out of the way before I make you. I'll kill you if I have to." He growled at Naruto in deep anger.

Naruto is silent as he slowly opens his eyes. Everyone's eyes widen in surprise. 'What the… What happened to his eyes?' Sakura wonders as she sees Naruto's eyes. His eyes were purple, with black rings surrounding his pupil. Naruto's eyes pore into Sasuke's as he says. "Shinra Tensei." Naruto says quietly before an invisible force suddenly smashes against Sasuke, pushing him far away into a tree.

Sasuke slumped over as loses consciousness, his strange marks retreating back into his neck. Everyone froze at what happened. 'What just happened?' They all thought before Naruto turns around kneels down to Kin. "Are you alright?" Naruto asks as he looks into her eyes, his being the cerulean blue like before.

A soft pink tints her cheeks as she looks into his eyes. "Y… Yes." She was dumbfounded by how her enemy had just saved her life. "Good. Can you move?" Naruto asks her, in which she shakes her head. He nods before picking her up Bridal style. "H-Huh?" A blush covers her face as she gets picked up.

"If you can't walk, then I'll just have to carry you the rest of the way there." Naruto smiled to her. 'Why… Why is he doing so much for me?' Kin wonders. Naruto suddenly puts his fingers in the all too familiar handsign.

"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"Naruto creates two clones to go pick up Sasuke and Lee. "C'mon Sakura. We should get going soon." Naruto says, snapping Sakura out of her shock. She nods as she walks over to him grabbing the earth scroll. All but the clone holding Lee leave the scene.

The clone looks over and jumps towards Neji and Tenten. "I believe this belongs to you guys." Naruto jokes. Neji nods and takes Lee. "Thank you." Tenten said. "No problem. I should get going soon-" "Uzumaki." Neji interrupts. "Hm?"

"Don't think that just because you gave us Lee means that we're comrades. We won't do anything now. But the next time we meet… We will be enemies." Neji states.

"Neji…" Tenten sighed at her teammates behavior. Naruto was a little surprised by Neji's words, but quickly grinned at him. "Wouldn't have it any other way." He said before dispelling itself into a cloud of smoke.

Elsewhere:

Hopping from tree to tree, Naruto suddenly feels the memories of the clone. "Huh?" Kin looks up at him. "What's the matter?" Kin asks. "Oh… Nothing." Naruto says. 'Where did that come from? Wait… Does this mean that…' Naruto wonders before realizing the secret behind his clones.

'Something tells me thing are going to very interesting soon.'
