Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. I wish I could though. *Sighs*. Unfortunately, it belongs to one and only Masashi Kishimoto.

A/N: Okay, I have been toying with this idea for a while now. After almost toying for like months, I finally thought what the hell and decided to write this off. So I present you this prologue. This story takes before Sasuke's encounter but after Garaa's rescue arc. This story will mostly follow cannon but with a lot of changes. I'm open to ideas so feel free to leave any criticism and views you have. I'll try to make Naruto's character as cannon as possible but he'll have like lots of changes for obvious reasons. So well let's continue.

Summary: What if at the end of valley, Naruto had actually died? That Sasuke had actually killed Naruto. But Kyuubi, not wanting to die with him as well, makes a desperate attempt at living and performs a forbidden jutsu that can keep him in mortal realm only by getting sealed again into another vessel. Two years later, a blond boy strikingly resembling the dead blonde suddenly appears in Konoha barely remembering how he even got there. This is boyxboy. Pairings undecided. Different dimension Naruto. Takes place from end of valley and skips to before Sasuke's encounter but after Garaa's rescue arc.

Warning: This is going to be yaoi i.e. boyxboy. If it is not suited to your taste, well you shouldn't even be here in the first place.

This is flashback.

'This is thought.'

"This is dialogue."

Prologue

The End of Tears

"Sasuke! I'm not gonna let Orochimaru take you away. I will stop you even if I have to break every bone in your arms and legs!"

Dark. Dark everywhere. Rain splattering. Cold. Feels so cold.

"Shut up…What the heck do you, who has neither parents not brothers, think you understand? What makes you think that you, who's been all alone from the start, can understand anything about me? It's because I've ties that I feel this agony. How could you possibly understand how it feels to lose all that?"

"It's true that I can't understand how it feels to really have parents or brothers. However, when I'm with Iruka-sensei I think if this is how it feels like to have a dad. When I'm with you, I wonder if having a brother feel something like that."

So tired. Feel so tired. Where is everyone?

"Why is it Naruto? Why is it that you go to this extent for me?"

"For me it is a tie that I've finally been able to have. That's why I'm gonna stop you."

Have to get up. Need to bring Sasuke back home. Promised Sakura-chan. Must get up.

"It's too late Naruto. It's already too late. I can't go back anymore."

Sakura-chan. Kakashi-sensei. I'm sorry, I couldn't bring Sasuke. Darkness again. Tears rolling down.

And finally, the darkness swallowed him completely.

At the end of valley, a blond boy could be seen lying on the ground, his body limp, eyes closed. Suddenly, a red light flared from his body, growing by each second, enveloping the body in its light. The red light glowed with even more intensity, the rain drops falling began to vaporize, until it suddenly disappeared. The boy was nowhere to be seen.

Kakashi was running at full speed, Pakkun with him trailing Naruto's scent. 'Please. Let me be there on time.' Finally, he reached at the final valley, where two great warriors once fought. He looked around but Naruto was nowhere to be seen. Confused, he searched for his chakra and when he couldn't feel it, a cold feeling entered in his body.

"Pakkun. I thought you said Naruto was in this place." Kakashi asked feeling cold inside.

"The boy's scent is here. But I can't find his scent going anywhere." Pakkun replied confused, smelling again just to make sure.

"Then, where is he? Where is Naruto?" Kakashi asked, again trying to pinpoint Naruto from his chakra.

"I don't know." Pakkun said slowly.

'Did Pakkun make a mistake? No that is impossible. Even with this rainfall, Pakkun has always been able to follow trail. Then where did he go?' Kakashi again looked around, now with his sharingan, but no, there was not any sign of Naruto. Suddenly feeling cold, various thoughts began to run around his mind.

'Did he go with Sasuke? No that can't be true. Naruto would never betray Konoha. Then where did he go?'

Kakashi tried to think of a valid reason for the blond sudden disappearance but he couldn't think of one. Finally, after some more futile searching, he decided to return. The rain starting to make him feel cold. And so he returned back thinking what to tell Godaime about where Naruto went.

A/N: Okay, so this is for prologue. What do you think? Should I continue it? Feel free to say your thoughts.
