And now on with the story.

In a meadow, you can see blood and craters everywhere. Figures were falling at a steady pace, some just standing. A few where at the side, and 10 were standing. Of the ten, 9 looked alike, as if clones. The tenth wore an orange and black jumpsuit with a red coat over it. He also had a look of defeat, loss, anger, and hatred on his face, as he stared at his opponent, who was none other than the infamous, Orochimaru.

Naruto stared at the battle field. Locked in a stolen jutsu, the shadow possession jutsu, Naruto could only look as the monster took down his allies one by one. The first to go down was Neji, using his byakugan; next was Lee, then Shikamaru and so on. Sakura was at the side, healing everyone as fast as she could, with Kakashi and Ten Ten guarding her. Sadly, no one could help Naruto. He was surrounded by several Orochimaru clones. Most of which were the ones bringing down Naruto's friends.

"Come on you stupid fox, help me out!" Thought Naruto, "Why should I mortal?" asked a deep, menacing voice in the blondes head.

"Because if I die, you go with me, remember?!" "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, don't remind me. Hold on a sec."

The blonde man's opponent didn't flinch as he felt immense chakra coming off the young man. He did flinch, though, when he saw his opponent change his form. Naruto's skin slowly came off, revealing a red blaze covering the boy. He then grew four tells, as his face became more of a foxes. The former human looked at his changes, then at Orochimaru. In a second, the jutsu holding him was deflected He began charging at the snakelike man, only to be met with his clones. They quickly vanished as the new Naruto rushed past. Orochimaru went from thoughts of a fast victory, to a slow demise.

As Naruto drew closer, Orochimaru had a single thought going through his head, "You haven't won yet Kyuubi-Child. I still have a few tricks up my sleeves."

Orochimaru, with blinding speed, came up with a few more clones, all of which went straight for Naruto. He went through these as fast as the first few, but as he got closer to the original Orochimaru, he saw him performing hand signs in a pattern he's never seen. Naruto couldn't react fast enough, as his eyesight was taken from him a blinding light. Just as soon the light appeared, it was replaced by darkness. Before Naruto's mind went blank, he heard Sakura scream his name.

Naruto awoke several hours later in the same field.

"My head," Naruto began, "it fills as if I just drank granny Tsunade's secret stash of sake."

As Naruto's composer came back, he noticed something different with the battle field; no battle marks. Naruto couldn't believe it, it was as if the battle with Orochimaru didn't even take place. Naruto also noticed that none off his teammates were around.

"Where is everyone?" Naruto thought. Just as he got up, he felt several presences coming towards him. "Good, looks like I wasn't left behind after all," said the blonde, but as got to his feet, he was surrounded by several ANBU. As Naruto started looking at his comrades, one of them spoke…

"Who are you and what are you doing here?"

Naruto was dumbfounded that the man didn't know who he was; after all, he was the man who defeated the Akatsuki. He was about to speak when he was interrupted by the man, "It doesn't matter, we have orders to bring anyone around the area to Lord Hokage. You can tell him what you doing out here." The masked man said. Again, Naruto was confused, especially when the ANBU said him while referring to the Hokage.

Naruto, not knowing what to say, just went with the ANBU. He was just glad he didn't lose his headband, or the man wouldn't have known to bring him to Tsunade. As Naruto and the team made their way to the Konoha gates, Naruto could see the Hokage mountain, and stopped in tracks as he saw the forth face; for instead of the Yondaime's face, their stood the stone face of Orochimaru.

"Wha…what the hell?" said Naruto.

That was the first chapter. Please review.
