Welcome to my first story. Well, kinda. I wrote under a different name for a while, but that doesn't matter. This story will be a very dark one. Death, sadness, sex, blood, betrayal and anger will reside in these words. It is my original story, and will take place in an alternate Thingy. In this story, naruto and the remaining rookie 9 are 21. There is no official pairings but naruhina will be the starting couple. However, it very well may change as I have grown bored of her. Oh well. Who knows how it will turn out. I hope you enjoy this work. -Cetsibius
(And I own none of the characters.)
Sasuke fell over backwards, blood trailing from the deep wound that adorned his chest. With a dull thud he collided with the cold and damp ground. Blood leaked from his mouth as he clutched at his chest, desperately trying to lessen his pain. His vision shaky, he looked wildly for his opponent. His blurred vision fell upon a figure with blonde hair and deep red chakra seemingly pouring from his body. The figure was hunched over, his hand holding the left side of his face. Sasuke felt a wave of emotion wash over him. He knew he was dying. He Gathered his small amount of remaining strength and tried to formulate a sentence.
"N-naruto... You have become strong... I can't believe I lost to you. I w-was supposed to be the best in our generation, but here I lie bested by the supposed worst in the class. How pathetic." He groaned, forcing thwe words from his pained mouth.
"Don't talk Sasuke. I need to get you help. I'm not letting off the hook quite yet, I made a promise." Naruto replied, slowly rising to his feet.
"I-Idiot... Im about to die. T-that l-last hit left a bit a hole in my chest. Listen, because I can't hold on for much longer." Sasuke whispered, his voice slowly lessening.
"Whoa, remember who your talking too. I won't let you die Sasuke, were going back to the village." Naruto replied, limping over to his fallen teammate.
The last Uchiha grimaced. "shut up you idiot... Take my eye, and... and... Kill... Itachi. Kill him for me. I need you to do this for me Naruto...". Naruto stared at his rival, the realizing what the fallen leaf Shinobi was asking.
"I can't do that Sasuke, you know I could never take your eye. Besides, I'm taking you back to the leaf right now. You'll need those eyes to defeat itachi one day." Replied Naruto, tears beginning to roll down his face as he clutched his best friend. "Please Sasuke, hold on for a little while longer. Someday, were going to defeat Itachi and Orochimaru... I need you to hang on for just a few more moments so I can get us back." He continued, trying desperately to comfort himself and his bleeding friend.
"Fool... Grow up won't you? I'm dying. Take my eye. I know you lost one during my attack.". He suddenly looked past Naruto at something behind him. "Kakashi, make sure he does what I ask, will you?" He forced through the coughs. Naruto spun his head to look at his teacher who nodded solemnly staring at his to prized students. Sasuke smirked and exhaled a slow and weak breath. He stared at the sky for a moment before his eyes glazed over. Naruto stared at the Uchiha for moment before the realization of what just happened set in. His best friend, teammate and brother just died in front of him, due to his own attack. Red blood coated the jinchiruuki as he fell over his lost rival, tears streaking down his face.
Naruto sighed and looked up to the sky in recollection. That was 8 years ago. That moment of pure sadness still clung to his heart after all these years. He closed his deep blue eye and took a deep breath. Even after all the events that had transpired recently, his mind constantly drifted back to that day. He still had not been able to kill or even locate Itachi since the 4th war. Opening his eye, he gazed upon Konoha from on top of his father's head. Even though it was the same place as it was back then, it seemed empty. So many were missing from its walls. The last war had been a real blow. Of the original Konoha 12, only 6 remained. In the space of 6 years, there had been two world wars. The face of the world was altered. The sand had been nearly eradicated, reduced to several lowly groups of bandits who patrolled and preyed on unsuspecting travelers in the desert where Suna once was located. So many had lost their lives. But now, the world could hopefully enjoy some lasting peace. He once again sighed and prepared to return to the village. He was stopped when the sound of footsteps slowly approaching his vantage point reached his ears.
"Naruto-kun! I've been looking for you for half an hour!" Yelled his fiancé, Hinata Hyuga. He smiled and wrapped her in a deep embrace. She returned the greeting. "What are you doing up here? I want to go out for dinner."she complained laughing. Naruto's eye widened. He had not realized he was gone so long.
"I was just thinking. Lost track of time I guess. Sorry about that Hinata-chan." He replied, scratching the back of his head. She laughed and began to pull him down the mountain laughing. He stared at the woman he was about to marry, in a week to be exact. She was so different from back when they were kids. It seemed that after he agreed to go on a date with her, her whole personality changed. The stutter was gone, and she gained ridiculous amounts of self-confidence. He was glad that he was able to help her with her troubles. She was happy, and that's all that mattered. The two continued down the mountain, hand in hand enjoying the view and each other.
"So naruto-kun, I was thinking of sushi. Sound okay?". She asked turning her gaze towards him. He opened his mouth to respond but was interrupted. In an instant they were surrounded by 3 Anbu agents. The one front of the couple spoke first.
"Naruto-San, Hokage-sama has requested you presence. Report immediately." The female Anbu reported. As quickly as they appeared, they were gone, leaving a pouting Hinata and an annoyed Naruto. He kissed her on the cheek and disappeared as well. Hinata sighed and continued to walk down towards the village. Her thoughts turned to her fiancé, the man that she had chased since she was a small, weak and timid child. She owed much of who she was today. He had helped her through the deaths of her team and her family. She shook her head and smiled. Where would she be without him?
Naruto knocked on the door. A gruff voice replied, "Enter." Naruto obliged and entered the office, closing the large door behind him.
"You wanted me Danzo-sama?" Naruto said, showing no emotion. The aging man raised his head to address the young jounin.
"Indeed Uzamaki. I have a mission for you. An assassination to be exact. I Need the best ninja for this mission and decided it was you." The man responded, meeting the younger man's eyes. He eye not fail to notice the slight waver in the eyes of the Nine tails jinchiruuki. "However, that's not the only reason for me selecting you. After the unfortunate loss of Kakashi..." Naruto's eyes darkened instantly. He clenched his jaw and his knuckles. Danzo paused, watching the young shinobi. "I understand your sentiments; but wipe these useless feelings from your mind. A shinobi has no use for them. Back to the topic on hand, I need you to copy a certain jutsu that your target uses. The exact name of the technique is unknown, but it is said to be some kind of wind technique in-which the user coats his hand in some kind of vortex of wind. I may be similar to the rasengan, which may indicate that scrolls of the 4th have been compromised. She is supposedly very strong and you must use the upmost caution eliminating her." the Hokage finished, awaiting the reply of the jounin in front of him. Naruto soaked in the details of the mission.
"Understood Danzo-sama." The blonde replied, giving the older man a short bow. Danzo nodded in satisfaction and handed a scroll to Naruto.
"This contains all know information on her. You leave tomorrow morning before sunrise. You are dismissed." The old hawk ordered, looking away from the shinobi, returning his focus to his work. Naruto gave another short bow, face displaying no emotion and left the office. He walked down the hall and let his face harden in anger. He really did hate that man. Danzo had practically caused two world wars. He was responsible for the deaths of so many, it would be absurd to try and count. But most of all, it was on Danzo's orders that Kakashi sacrifice himself while he fled during the 5th ninja world war. But he was still the Hokage. Naruto scoffed and left the tower in a fast walk, desperate to leave that place. He nearly jogged down the street, towards his apartment. Ignoring the glances and looks he received from the grateful villagers, he climbed the stairs and entered his home. He slammed he door behind him and leaned against it, closing his uncovered eye. Kakashi-sensei... I wish you were still around, it's hard doing this with out your advice. Naruto thought to himself, letting out an annoyed sigh. Naruto looked out the window and noticed it was completely dark. A glance at the clock told him it was after midnight. Only six more days until the wedding. He let out another sigh, wondering if could really marry. Would he make a good husband? Maybe even a father? Would he always love Hinata? He shook the pesky thoughts from his head. He would have to stay focused on his upcoming mission. First, he would grab a quick couple hours of sleep. He smiled. Sleep sounded great right about now. He shrugged off his jounin vest, and his sandals. He didn't even bother to remove his black long sleeved shirt and black pants. He laid in his bed and closed his eyes. But the gods did not favor him tonight it seemed as a knock came at the door. He face-palmed and growled. He kicked off the covers and walked over to his door. He pulled it open to find a happy blue-haired girl.
"Naruto-kun! Sorry about arriving so late, but I noticed you leaving the homage tower and I wanted to know what was going on." Hinata stated, looking at her fiancé anxiously. He sighed rubbing his face.
"I have a mission tomorrow. Assassination. I'll be gone for two days." He responded, gesturing for her to come in. She responded by enveloping him in a deep kiss.
"But our wedding is in 6 days! How could he do that?" she yelled after breaking the kiss. Naruto began to respond but she locked lips, silencing him. She moaned into the kiss, hands sliding under his shirt and down to his crotch. She began to rub his member gently, trying to get him excited. After a moments consideration from Naruto, he pushed her away.
"You just wanted to have fun didn't you? Well, not tonight. I need to get up early for the mission." he explained scratching the back of his head, an apologetic smile etched of his face. She gave him a pouting face and began to unbutton her shirt, exposing her generous cleavage covered by a sexy black bra. Naruto sighed in defeat. Tonight was not going to be very restful for him.
He awoke the next morning with a naked Hyuga Heiress clinging to his chest. Even though she was conservative in the way that she wanted to save her virginity for after the wedding, she had no issue with doing "other" things with him. He shook his head and strained his neck to look at the clock by his bed. 3:30. He needed to get going. He quickly pulled his jounin attire on, making sure he had all of his necessary equipment. He then skimmed the scroll that Danzo said contained all the relevant data on his target.

"This should be interesting." Naruto mumbled to himself. He was curious how she could have something like the Rasengan. He closed the scroll and stuffed it into his pack. Without another word he left the sleeping girl in his bed.
