As a man with silver hair sprinted towards the quiet rock that made up the picture of two of the most famous men in the world, you could see the tears threatening to spill over while he berated himself. I should have trained them better! Then thiswouldn't have happened. Naruto wouldn't be dead and Sasuke would still be in the village. As the silver man finished his thoughts, he came into sight of two of his best students, both in different ways, charging at each other with the most lethal attack each knew. He watched as the two boys thrusted forward their attacks, meant to kill the other while they each yelled it's respective name. As the two jutsu clashed, a loud grinding sound came to everyone's ears before a wicked wind shot from the epicenter, kicking up gallons of water effectively cancelling the man's view. This only left him with the sound of a scream so loud it caused his pet summon Pakkun to disperse and himself defenseless against the tsunami heading his way.

Naruto was not a fan of death nor was he one to have ever killed. As he looked down he was saddened by the gruesome sight which beheld his best friend. With bloody water up to his ankles he could barely make out the half submerged body of Sasuke Uchiha, his longtime best friend and one of the only people who could even slightly comprehend the pain he went through as a child. Sasuke was surrounded by bloodied water and a deep spiral could be seen on his lower chest, which was leaking blood at an alarming rate. Naruto was saddened that his friend had tried to go to a man named Orochimaru, student and killer of the third Hokage and one of the most legendary teams in the world the Sannin. Naruto didn't know the man on a personal level but he'd met him twice before, once at the chunin exams where Orochimaru had impersonated a grass ninja and gave his teammate Sasuke the curse seal.

The second time Naruto had met the man was when he went on a s-rank mission with Jiraiya of the Sannin, who was now his sensei, to retrieve the slug princess, Tsunade aka the fifth Hokage. Naruto had known enough about the snake man that he was someone to avoid. Sadly, his wayward teammate who had been getting more and more obsessed with power so that he can kill his brother Itachi, a man Sasuke and most of the village thought had killed the entire Uchiha clan, that when offered power by the snake Sannin he didn't refuse in the slightest. In fact he invited it and tried to escape to the man at the first chance he got which was what led to the position they were now in.

Naruto had been called to help on a retrieval mission by Nara Shikamaru, the sole genin that was promoted to be chunin on the last chunin exam. He along with a few of his other comrades from his graduating year followed in hot pursuit of Sasuke along with the sound four. As they met each member they left one man each back to defeat one of the four sound members, eventually leaving Naruto alone to defeat and bring back Sasuke. The battle between the two was hard and strenuous. In the beginning, They were pretty evenly matched. After a nasty hit from Naruto things changed though. Sasuke activated his curse mark which allowed him to receive a lot more damage. No matter how hard Naruto hit the lost boy, it would just be returned twice as hard from the unflinching Uchiha. As the battle went on, Naruto went into his 9-tails cloak while Sasuke went to the second level of the curse mark. The battle ended when the two boy's attacks clashed in which Naruto's rasengan overtook Sasuke 's chidori and put a large flesh wound on the Uchiha's chest.

As Naruto took an extra pair of long pants out of a storage scroll, he put it around Sasuke's wound to try to stop the bleeding before picking up his headband which now had a large scratch which came from a shot of lightning that had randomly come out of his opponent's Chidori. Naruto put the headband in his tool pouch as not to be attacked once he entered the village as he'd be thought of as a rouge. Naruto picked up the unconscious Sasuke and put him on his back before running off to the village.

Meanwhile with the silver haired man…

"So Kabuto, was it you who was assigned the task of escorting Sasuke back?" said the silver haired man said, scaring the crap out of the unsuspecting Kabuto.

"Kakashi, I didn't expect to see you here," replied the annoyed teen, "I would fight but it looks as though I'm at a disadvantage so for now I will retreat." With that the ex-spy sank into the ground, leaving Kakashi to start returning to the spot he had last seen Naruto and Sasuke.

Back with Naruto…

Naruto hadn't gotten far when his sensei Kakashi arrived, "Do you always have to be late Kaka-sensei?" Questioned Naruto with an annoyed tone.

Kakashi sweat dropped before replying, "Better later than never I suppose." Kakashi then took Sasuke off a struggling Naruto. Before placing him completely on his back, he saw the makeshift gaze Naruto had placed and formed what had happened in his head. Naruto's Rasengan had defeated his own Chidori in a head on clash. Kakashi was sadenned but relieved that his jutsu had been the weaker one. As Kakashi came out of his musings he heard Naruto started to tell the story.

Once Naruto finally finished his story, Kakashi was extremely impressed. Kakashi knew Sasuke to be stronger than Naruto not only a month ago and yet here he was, the victor of the two. "I think he may just become an important and powerful ninja in the future." Thought Kakashi happily.

As the student and sensei were nearing the giant green gates of the Hidden Leaf Village, they could see the giant doors closing for some unknown reason. The two sped up their already exhausted legs and made it to the gate just in time to slip through. Suddenly the two heard three consecutive puffs of smoke and had three ANBU surrounding them. As soon as Kakashi saw the ANBU he called them off and they immediately did as ordered by the ex- ANBU captain. Kakashi handed Sasuke to a male with a bear mask on who immediately took him and vanished in a swirl of leaves.

"Sir, you and Uzumaki are to report to the hospital immediately under the order of the fifth Hokage," said an owl masked ANBU who stood at attention in front of the two.

"Very well owl, we will be on our way. Resume your duties," stated a stoic Kakashi in a tired voice. As the two began to move towards the hospital curticy rooftop Kakashi asked if Naruto was in need of any medical attention in which he answered a no. the two made it to the hospital and immediately saw Naruto's graduating class and their sensei's. As they made their way inside, the conversation stopped. Everyone just stood there for a minute.

"Why are you guys all staring at me?" Questioned Naruto, feeling all the people in the room staring at him including the nurses and random civilians.

"Kid, you just pulled off an a-rank mission on your own and another with Shikamaru and your team. Not only that, but you who were also dead last of your class just almost killed the rookie of the year while he was hyped up on the curse seal," replied a bewildered Asuma. "That's not that great, I mean look at the others. They all battled powerful ninja that they had no clue about while I knew everything about Sasuke," replied Naruto.

Just then Shizune came out saying everyone but Choji was stable. She then asked Asuma to go and get his father, a man Naruto had seen several times but never met formally. Naruto was confused. The only reason he could think that would warrant them getting him right now was if Choji was going to die.

Panicking, Naruto got up and yelled, "Why would you need Choji dad? He isn't going to die, he can't! Who will I have eating competitions with now?" Everyone looked to the panicked Naruto before Shizune began to speak.

"Choji will most likely be fine Naruto, we're getting his father for information on the red food pill. When Choji was fighting his opponent he consumed one which is about ten times of a regular food pill. Lady Tsunade is working on him so he should be fine in a couple of hours."

As everyone heard Shizune telling them that they sighed a breath of relief. Shizune then said that she would let them know the next person able to see visitors. After she left everyone stared at Naruto.

"What?" Asked the boy.

"Nothing," they all responded. With that Naruto went over to Hinata and sat down. They all continued to watch, some wondering if the boy finally realised the young heiress feelings towards him or if he just randomly sat down. After about two minutes of staring, Naruto fell asleep. Asuma noticed Kurenai nudging the boy so he would fall towards Hinata which effectively put his head on her chest while she was too shocked to move. They all stared in amusement at the young girl until a young boy with spiky hair and an open jacket over mesh armor walked out, saying his usual "Troublesome", causing everyone but Hinata to laugh.

With Naruto…

Naruto woke up to the feeling of water dripping on his face. He opened his eyes to the sight of gray walls with pipes running down the sides. Naruto stood up and followed the red chakra that led him to the great Kyuubi. Once he arrived to the giant bars of the nine-tails cage he heard a mighty growl.

"Why did you spare the Uchiha?" Asked the great demon.

"He's a comrade and killing wasn't needed."

"Whelp, you could have easily taken his life with the power I gave you yet instead you hit him with that pathetic jutsu you call Rasengan!"

"Shut up fuzzy face, I don't need you telling me what to do nor will I listen to you complaining." As Naruto walked away, the Kyuubi began growling, threatening his master one last time before he disappeared for the time being.

plan to make this pretty original so little canon. Ill have justsu and people maybe a few trips (like one or two) the same. After that I'm pretty open I haven't really chosen a pairing. I think it will be naruhina maybe a harem let me know what you guys want. I'm not sure if I'm going to do lemons but if enough of you guys want one I'll do it later. Now summers here I think I'll get a ch. Every week or two. I'm going to try for about 2500 to 3000 words a chapter after this one. Please let me know what you guys think and if you have anything you want me to include just tell me in a review or pm.
