I adopted this from Oro-kun because I didn't want to see this fabulous idea go to waste =D

I will add and change things slightly too how I write stories, but I will keep the basic storyline how it is. I don't want to destroy the original idea =D

Not much will be changed for the first few chapters as I feel there isn't much I can change that wouldn't destroy the flow of the story, so if its similar this is the reason why. I have only edited these first three chapters to how I would have them; anything from chapter 4 onwards will be my writing.

Anyway I hope you enjoy this!

Chapter 1

"Chidori!"

"Rasengan!"

The desperate cries could be heard throughout the whole valley, anyone one who heard them could hear the resolve put into these attacks. Neither one wanted to lose, but they didn't want to hurt the other either.

It was a loose, loose situation.

The clash of chakra was enormous as the jutsu's collided; it carved a crater behind the waterfall. Both of shinobi were encased in white, long enough for them to stop their attacks not wanting to hurt the other.

Once everything settled Sasuke was left kneeling over his former best friend's lifeless body. Looking at the blonde's face, he could feel the irregular breathing; Naruto was just as drained as he was. The injuries Sasuke received from the fight and the affect of the curse mark caused him to cough up blood beside Naruto's unconscious body.

In the distance he could hear the faint sound of barking, one of his former sensei's dogs most likely. He would have to hurry if he wanted to get away.

"Sasuke!" Kakashi's voice rang out; echoing on the walls of the valley, not that it sounded like that to the raven. Sasuke's ears were still ringing from explosions and attacks that gone off between him and Naruto.

Sasuke looked up at Kakashi, he found he no longer had the strength to resist, Kakashi drew nearer and nearer at a quick pace with his trusty pug behind him.

"What have you done?!" Kakashi demanded as he came to a stop next to Sasuke, yanking him up to his feet by force.

Sasuke glared. "What does it look like? I'm going to where Orochimaru is. There I could get power. There is where I could get my revenge."

"Revenge will only tear you a part in the end! Why can't you understand that?!" Kakashi snarled. He saw too much of himself in Sasuke. That was why he favored him, in hopes to lead him away from the dark path he was heading down.

"You know nothing!" Sasuke spat back as he struggled weakly against Kakashi's grip.

Meanwhile Naruto lay forgotten by the both of them on the wet ground.

"I know a lot you idiot, more than you will ever know." Kakashi sighed.

Having enough of the Uchiha's struggles the jounin knocked Sasuke out and placed him on his back and prepared to pick Naruto up to carry him in his arms.

As Kakashi bent down to pick Naruto up a cruel laughter echoed throughout the valley, looking up Kakashi saw that it was none other then Orochimaru. Though Kakashi noticed that Orochimaru was bandaged and had a different hair color then black, but there was no doubt it was the snake sannin himself.

"Orochimaru." Kakashi hissed, his movements halted enough for him to watch what Orochimaru was doing, who was now standing on the other side of the unconscious Naruto.

"Put up quite the fight, didn't they? Poor little things. They look so worn out." Orochimaru mocked as his single showing golden eye scanned the unconscious raven on Kakashi's back and the unconscious blonde on the ground. There was a glint of amusement in his eye, amusement Kakashi didn't like the look of.

"I won't let you take Sasuke." Kakashi stated tightening his hold on the boy on his back as he backed away ever so slightly, believing that Naruto will be for the most part safe at the moment. After all, Orochimaru wasn't after Naruto; he was after Sasuke and his sharingan.

"Yes, yes. We all know that don't we. But you see, ever since the chunin exams i've been thinking. Yes the sharingan would be nice and all. Make things easier when it comes to utilizing jutsu's. But what if I could get a hold of power that surpasses others by sheer stamina and chakra limits?" Orochimaru's tongue licked his lips. "That would allow me to utilize more powerful jutsu's at a greater scale? Not to mention, other little capabilities you can give a host… making the limits of what you could do to him, next to nothing." Orochimaru spoke with a cruel sneer painted on his pale features as his golden eyes fixated on the unconscious shinobi on the ground.

"You-You're after Naruto now!" Kakashi's shock was evident on his features as he charged his chidori to the best of his capabilities. After all it will be hard to fight with an unconscious boy on his back. He couldn't put him down and risk his capture, but he couldn't let Naruto fall into Orochimaru's clutches either.

"How intelligent of you. You best be running off now." Orochimaru mocked as he shot out several snakes to push Kakashi back enough to get a hold of the unconscious jinchuuriki. Of course only having one eye made things slightly harder, but it was nothing that the S-class nukenin couldn't handle.

"Release him right now!" Kakashi demanded, handing Sasuke over to the shadow clone he created to take him away. With the Uchiha out of the way it would be easier on Kakashi's part.

"Where did you put my little sharingan holder? Maybe you would like to trade?" Orochimaru mocked as he held the blonde in his arms in a mockingly gentle way.

Naruto didn't even stir; his cloths were now completely drenched with a mixture of rain and blood.

"I told you, release him right now." Kakashi ordered coldly, making sure that Orochimaru caught sight of his revealed sharingan that always let everyone know that he was serious.

"Now, now, there's no need to be like that." Orochimaru spoke calmly as he sensed several sound shinobi coming up from behind him. He could get them to take care of the copy nin so he could get away with his new lab rat.

His new toy.

"Orochimaru-sama. Your orders?" The obvious leader of the group demanded, he was a brutish looking man with cold emotionless eyes that could chill most people. His teammates were no better. Each of them had their curse seals activated in the first stage even before they got there.

"I want you to keep that little man occupied until I leave." Orochimaru ordered with a sneer, shifting Naruto in his arms which caused a small whimper to escape the boy's mouth, but other than that the blonde didn't stir.

Orochimaru stepped back as his pawns stepped forward to carry out their order.

"Very well, Orochimaru-sama." The obvious leader stated as he channeled his chakra to attack. That action was followed immediately by the other sound shinobi's that were with him.

They positioned themselves for attack.

"Have fun, Kakashi." Orochimaru stated as he used a teleportation jutsu, disappearing with Naruto in his grasp. His bitter laughter was the only thing that remained of him after he disappeared, echoing off the walls of the Valley of the End mockingly.

Kakashi inwardly snarled as he channeled his chakra and let them come, he knew he was outnumbered greatly, but his experience and training outmatched theirs. But he was going to have to cut this short; his shadow clone probably won't last too long. He didn't have the stamina Naruto did for clones.

Fifteen minutes later, Kakashi had no choice but to escape. He could tell that his shadow clone dissipated not too far from the Valley of the End.

"Sorry, but I'm going to have to put an end to this. Go crawl back to your master like proper dogs." Kakashi sneered icily as he performed several intricate hand signs that allowed him to use the hidden mist technique.

The thick fog surrounded the whole valley. He knew they could dispel it soon enough so he had to hurry. Without using extra chakra he took off up the wall and towards Konoha.

Picking up Sasuke on the way, he felt his heart being weighed down with unimaginable guilt. He failed to protect someone who was apart of his team.

"I'm sorry… Naruto… I failed you…" Kakashi whispered solemnly as he passed the gates of Konoha along with others who picked up the injured team-mates of the 'Retrieving Sasuke' squad. He scoffed bitterly at that; they were after someone who wasn't really all that loyal and in the meantime lost one of the most loyal shinobi of their village.

Orochimaru immediately handed Naruto over to Kabuto when he returned. This earned him an extremely puzzled look. Of course Kabuto was expecting Sasuke not Naruto.

Orochimaru chuckled at that, after all to Orochimaru it was funny to see. His personal medic confused and puzzled by something he decided. Surely he should have suspected odd twists and turns by now. Kabuto knew he liked to play games with his prey.

"You're new lab rat. I want him broken until he can't be broken anymore." Orochimaru chuckled. "I will assist in breaking him. And I already have several idea's you could use for experimentations."

"Very well Orochimaru-sama." Kabuto stated with a slight bow stirring Naruto slightly who only muttered out a broken form of Sasuke's name, which amused Orochimaru and Kabuto to no ends.

"Poor thing… Poor, poor little thing." Orochimaru chided as he stroked the blondes scarred cheek.

"We should create a specific room for Naruto-kun." Kabuto suggested, merely curious on everything that will happen to Naruto during his stay with them. He was curious to what experiments he could perform as well. With Naruto's incredible healing qualities it would be fun to see what will happen.

"Sounds like a good idea, Kabuto. Not at this base however, this base we will abandon as soon as possible." Orochimaru mused as he shrugged lightly.

Watching Kabuto walk of with the blonde jinchuuriki Orochimaru couldn't help but let a huge creepy smile cross his features. This was going to be fun.

Lots of fun.

-::-::-

White.

That was practically the only colour Sasuke could see. He hated hospitals; they always smelled of disinfectant and medicine.

A smell he didn't particularly like.

Sasuke lay in a bed, arms bandaged, along with his upper body. He stared at the necklace in his hands. To be more precise Naruto's necklace.

Tsunade made sure to leave that with him while she explained everything to the rest of the team. She had banned everyone from visiting the angry young avenger who was wallowing in his anger and failure to escape.

He couldn't help but feel a little thankful to the blonde Hokage for that, he really, really didn't want to see anyone at the minute. He wanted to be left the hell alone.

Tsunade soon returned, she already had to turn Sakura away for the fifth time.

Sakura had yet to find out about Naruto's capture. So as far as the pinkette was concerned, the retrieval was a complete success and everything was right with the world once more. Free to chase Sasuke down like a love struck puppy.

Sasuke looked up and into honey brown eyes in a glare of you should have let me go.

"Before you start…" Sasuke started when Tsunade out of character backhanded him across the face, which stopped him from saying anything more.

"You listen to me you little ungrateful shit! If I had my way, you'd be dead. Killed in the most painful way I could manage. It's because of you several people of this village got hurt and nearly killed. It's because of you Naruto was captured by Orochimaru." Tsunade stated coldly, watching as Sasuke held his face while trying to glare at her between the shock of being backhanded and the sudden need to cry.

Tsunade for a second considered him a damaged child who at a young age was forced into the world of an adult. But in her anger, she didn't have time to pity him or feel any form of sympathy for him. He had to learn, and it was obvious only the hard way would work.

Compared to Naruto that was nothing, Naruto was born in that world and never truly had a childhood like Sasuke did. Naruto never got to know the warm embrace of a mother, or the scolding of a father. But she couldn't think about that now.

"I…" Sasuke started but stopped himself from saying anything further, whatever he was going to say just wouldn't come out his mouth, everything he's done hit him and guilt soon set in.

It was his fault! His fault that his best friend was captured!

Tsunade saw this; she found that she couldn't be as angry as she was before. Especially when she saw that he was still capable of feeling guilt. He was still able to be pulled from the darkness he had embedded himself in.

It wasn't too late.

She sighed and sat down on the edge of the bed, noting that Sasuke slightly flinched at the action. She expected it though; he was probably expecting another slap.

Sasuke eyed her uncertainly for a minute. Was she going to hit him again? What he didn't expect was that she hugged him, and began to gently rub his back almost like a mother would.

His mother would.

"Let go of all that darkness Sasuke… nothing but despair can be found there. That is the only way you're going to truly win in the end against your brother. Deep down, you know that. Deep down, you understand that." Tsunade whispered into his ear and felt rather then heard Sasuke cry for the first time since he was seven years old.

"But… but it… it hurts… " Sasuke whispered against her, not realizing that he was clinging to her tightly.

"I know… trust me… I know what it feels like to lose everything… All you want is for that pain to go away, and at some point in your darkness you stop caring and let yourself fall farther and farther." Tsunade explained.

Sasuke listened, and realized in truth this is exactly how he felt. 'How does she know all this? Know exactly how i feel?'

"People's darkness take different shapes and different forms… mine was found in the bottom of a sake bottle and my terrible gambling habit. Just like yours is your hatred… and believing that emotions are what makes people weak…" Tsunade spoke, she could feel her throat constrict with the need to cry but she held it back. "But that changed, for me… with the thanks of an annoying little blonde gaki who challenged me despite the fact that he had no chance against me… to prove me wrong… to save me in his own way… let go of the past Sasuke… nothing can be found there. Trust me… I know."

"But my clan…" Sasuke stated, he truly did want to do right by them.

"They're gone… but think about this. What would they say if they saw you like this? Full of anger and hatred, not letting anybody in. Forgetting your future to try and take back the past. To disappear with them and loose your future." Tsunade spoke calmly before letting go of him and drying his tears, it was a force of habit for her to dry someone's tears like that especially when she was the only one to comfort them at the time.

Sasuke watched as she got up and walked to the door. Come to think of it he was tired now; he sunk down into the stark white blankets that contrasted with his dark hair.

Pausing at the door Tsunade turned to face him for the last time. "Think about what you want, Sasuke. To disappear with the past or you can survive and live in the future. As soon as you're healed and ready to be released, you'll be placed in Kakashi's supervision. That includes living with him, think of it this way. He's your guardian until further notice."

"I've lived on my own since I was seven! I don't need to live with anyone!" Sasuke protested, but his protests fell on deaf ears.

Tsunade simply smirked and walked out of the hospital room to once again tell Sakura to go home.

He had made his decision, he would listen to Tsunade after all, and she said she understood him in what he was going through when it came to loosing people you care for. She had explained exactly how he felt; she knew what it was like.

He was going to remain loyal to Konoha. And he'll train to become stronger; he will repay Naruto for his attempts by getting him back.

Back to Konoha where he belonged.

Ok there's the first chapter!

I know I didn't change much apart from few words, sentences and paragraphs but I didn't feel the need too.

As I explained at the top the first three chapters will only be slightly edited to how I would like them =D

Anyway I will not post another chapter of this until I have finished some of my other stories because I currently have too many going.

This was posted for the purpose of those reading this story know where to find it if they still want to continue reading =D

Please Review!
