Hello everyone! I've been toying around with this idea in my head for awhile and I guess I'm finally going to jump on it. I stopped watching Naruto a long time ago haha (I stopped like right after he first used that wind rasengan shuriken thing against the akastuki guy. I sort of just stopped watching anime after that for some odd reason. But, I did get into tokusatsu shows a lot oddly enough. I watched a lot of Super Sentai and Kamen rider and I guess that's where this idea came from.

So, first note is that there will be some OOC. This is due to me simply being rusty in what the characters are like and the nature of how the story will develop. But I will try and keep it to a minimal. The next will only be kind of annoying for you if you are a die hard kamen rider fan and hate any sort of mis-representation of powers and characters. The powers I am borrowing WILL NOT also reflect the personality of the rider I am trying to impose on the characters. I probably will have them steal random key phrases though (WILL NOT ALWAYS BE THE SAME RIDER THEY HAVE THE POWER OF). I will also be mixing and matching a lot of stuff that didn't work in the show for simple story reasons, so try not to be anal. I'm going to take a lot of creative liberties for the sake of the story.

Chapters 1: Begins Night

Sasuke sat down on the rock in the clearing of the woods as he contemplated his future and what was to come. He was going to enter the academy tomorrow and as much as he disliked to admit it….he was definitely a little excited to be joining the majority of his clan in the ranks of ninja. He was lightly swinging his leg back and forth as he fantasized in performing amazingly and impressing those around him.

It was a rather…embarrassing thought for him.

While he didn't like to admit it, deep down, Sasuke wanted to be able to show everyone that he was skilled and had potential. While he wasn't necessarily ignored for his adolescence, he was often told about how amazing his older brother was. About his exploits and grand maneuvers that skyrocketed his ninja career in such short moments. He was happy to know his brother was so skilled, but it did give him motivation to match his prowess and a twinge of jealousy as he wanted to be seen like that as well. He heard his parents call for him and hopped off the stone and dashed back home still with thoughts on tomorrow.

"I'm home!" Sasuke announced as he entered through the doors of his home.

"Welcome back, son," his father greeted him with a curt nod as he took a sip of tea while sitting at a stood still as he waited to see if his father had anything more to say to him; his thoughts still clouded with excitement for the next day.

"Are you prepared for tomorrow Sasuke?"

Sasuke slowly nodded and a small smile found its way on his face. His father noted the small smile on his son's face and couldn't help but let a small smile find itself onto his face as well as he waved his hand to dismiss his younger child.

Sasuke wandered back outside to the training ground where he found his brother standing in the clearing with some sweat on him showing that he had just finished a session. He stood still as he waited for his brother to finally catch sight of him.

Itachi wiped some sweat off his brow as he took a look at his surroundings. Broken training dummies, weapons hitting the dead center of various targets around him. He nodded a little to himself and he was satisfied with his performance. He gathered some of his belongings he left on a tree stump before he finally noticed his brother standing off to the side. He gave a small wave of acknowledgement before speaking.

"Hello Sasuke, did you need something?"

Without missing a beat, Sasuke immediately spoke.

"I'm starting at the academy tomorrow, Itachi."

"That's nice, are you excited?"

"I want to show the world my strength and potential to be an excellent shinobi."

"Do you ever plan on answering any of my questions Sasuke?"

"I want to surpass you some day."

"Setting your goals a bit high for someone who hasn't even started aren't you?" Itachi asked with a chuckle as he finally started to see where this conversation was going.

"If I don't set my goals high, how will I ever find the motivation to put in the work?"

Itachi continued to laugh a little as he shook his head and gathered the rest of his belongings before he walked with his younger brother back to the compound.

Sasuke sat at his desk and had a slight bitter look to his face. He understood exactly why he needed to learn stuff like this but that didn't mean he had to enjoy it. He slowly began to tune out the lecture of Konoha's history that was spouting out of the mouth of his sensei at the front. Then he was shaken out of his thoughts at the words he was waiting for.

"All right students, it's time for some practical exercises!"

Sasuke quickly hopped out of his chair as he made his way outside with the rest of the students.

He stood at the ready with his shuriken in both hands waiting for the signal of his teacher. He smirked to himself as he knew he was ready for this. He had practiced this plenty of times at home and was ready to do this again without fail. His sensei clapped his hands and immediately Sasuke dashed forward and darted his eyes left and right scoping out the targets as he made his way forward. As his eyes glanced at the targets sprouting up he tossed each shuriken and made sure to land them dead center on the mark. He quickly spotted the wires on the ground and widened his step so that he would not have to break out of his dash to continue to move forward; all the while still chucking shuriken left and right.

He crossed the finish line and stopped to catch his breath and looked back to survey his handy work.

Perfect he thought as he noticed not a single target had not been struck and he had not set up any of the wires on the ground. He smirked a little as he noted all the other students who were looking at him with awe at what he had just managed.

"Bravo! Amazing! That was the second best run attempt I've seen from someone your age!" his sensei praised as Sasuke slowly walked back over to him. Sasuke was happy that he had managed to do so well but was a little bitter that he was not the best.

Oh well, can't win them all….yet he mused to himself as his breath was finally starting to even up after using such a large burst amount of stamina in one go. Odds are he probably wasn't going to know who this other individual was as he was most likely someone from some time ago who was a prodigy or maybe even one of the past Hokages but curiosity got the best of him.

"Who was the best sensei? Also, what did they do differently than me?"

"HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO DO THAT EXERCISE WITH YOUR EYE'S CLOSED?"

Sasuke's voice rang across the compound as he found his brother once again at the training grounds.

"Well, I was a little bit sleepy that day. When the exercise started I closed my eyes briefly and noticed how wonderful it felt so I decided to keep them closed."

Sasuke stood there with his mouth open and he couldn't quite find words to express himself.

"….Are you serious Itachi?"

"No."

Sasuke did a heavy sigh as he realized his brother was messing around with him. He felt a little bit of anger to already be behind his older brother's display of strength even at this young age. But his curiosity was overpowering his jealousy and bitterness at that moment.

"How did you do it Itachi, did you just practice and memorize everything?

"Not really, I probably practiced no more than you did."

"But…how did you know when to jump the wires or hit the targets? They don't even pop up in patterns."

"You have more senses than just your eyes, Sasuke. We may be weakened a bit without our sight but we are hardly helpless. That should be a simple idea for any Ninja or Ninja-in-training."

"Why did you even bother trying to do the practice run without your sight?"

Itachi laughed a little bit at such a question, partly also in shock too at such a seemingly dumb question.

"The same reason you practiced so hard all the time in preparation for it."

"…..That was to be better than you. You wanted to outdo…yourself?"

Itachi continued to laugh at his brother's naivety and silly questions.

"No stupid, to be the best. You shouldn't be too disappointed with yourself, even if you couldn't best me you still accomplished quite a feat for your age. You didn't expect to surpass me from the get go did you? If you did, I feel a little bit insulted."

Sasuke grumbled a little at the underhanded jab his brother threw at him. He silently and begrudgingly agreed with his brother's sentiments though. While not satisfied that he wasn't number one, he was a bit happy at his performance and current standings. He also knew what he was getting into when he promised himself to outdo his brother.

"That'll be me one day Itachi, so just you wait."

"Haha, okay kiddo, but I'm not sure humans live that long…..."

Sasuke landed with a thud as he was panting and sweating and out of breath.

"You sure you want to keep at this Sasuke? I highly doubt your odds of succeeding will increase with you in that state."

Sasuke pounded the ground with his fist in a small bout of anger as his brother successful rebuffed his attempts at striking without even moving from his starting spot.

"Damn it…..this is so difficult."

"You know, considering you wanted to surpass my kind of growth, even I'm going to say it's a bit harsh to hope to match me at the moment considering our age difference and the different in training we both have had."

"Yeah…but I had hoped to give you some sort of surprise or a small challenge at least."

"Well, I can't pursue other activities such as reading or sleeping…so I guess that's something."

Sasuke rolled his eyes at his brother's antics. A frown of bitterness found his way onto his face despite finding a grain of humor in all of this.

"Ha ha ha Itachi, you're so funny."

"You aren't the first person to tell me that, little brother."

"I'm going to wipe that arrogant smirk off your face one day."

"Perhaps, but today is not that day….nor the next several hundred….or possibly thousand…or even-"

"Shut up and let's go home."

The two brothers walked back with a smile on their faces as they re-entered their compound and proceeded to greet their family members.

Itachi found his brother staring out into the lake sitting down at a pier.

"Something the matter Sasuke? You haven't challenged me to anything in awhile."

Sasuke laughed a little to himself as he realized the truth in his brother's words.

"Nah, I've decided to take my time. I don't need to rush, I'll get there when I get there."

"That's a pretty healthy and mature way to go about this. You surprise me, but I encourage this nonetheless."

"Hah, why are you here? Did you finish your mission already?"

"Yeah, it was rather simple recon stuff. I decided to look for you because I thought you were acting a bit differently."

Sasuke stood up and grabbed a nearby rock before skipping it into the lake watching it bounce 4 times before plunging into the watery depths. After a moment his brother mirrored his actions before also skipping the rock 20 times before it stopped. Sasuke furrowed his eyebrows in a rather annoyed fashion as his brother spoke with obvious laugher behind his voice.

"Just to remind you, I am at least five times better than you at this."

"Is everything a competition to you brother? You beat a little kid, I hope your proud."

"That's funny coming from the kid who use to challenge me all the time. I use to beat you all the time, trust me; there's nothing to be proud of."

Itachi patted his younger brother's head as they both shared a small laugh together on the pier.

"Did you need something else Itachi?"

"Not really, came by to check up on my midget rival to see if he was getting any stronger."

Sasuke laughed a little at his title before spouting into stories of his merits and feats at the academy as his brother proceeded to laugh and recall back to his moments and tell his younger brother how he had still bested him at that age.

Sasuke grumbled as he discovered that Itachi had indeed beaten him at almost everything when comparing his moments at the academy.

"You know brother, you could at least let me have my moment for once."

"I could, but then you might get satisfied and lose motivation to improve. Can't have that can we?"

Sasuke scowled a little as he knew his brother really just wanted to rub it in his face that he was superior. Itachi chuckled a little again as he continued to ruffle the hair of his younger sibling.

"I have something to show you Sasuke, it should make you stronger. Do you want to learn?"

Sasuke's eyes lit up as he heard these words before he nodded rapidly and turned to his brother; waiting for instruction.

"Alright, calm down. Now, this is a fire justsu….."

Itachi once again found his younger brother sitting on the edge of the pier looking out into the sunset and the lake.

"What's the matter Sasuke, you look a little down."

"We had a test at the academy today…..I didn't get the highest mark."

"Eh, don you hate that stuff? Why do you care?"

"….I didn't like it, but I was always first. I guess it just stings to know that isn't the case anymore."

"Who did better than you?"

"I don't know, some happy-go-lucky pink haired girl."

"Well, if it makes you feel any better, I didn't always ace my written exams either."

"…..The teacher said you were one of the few to never miss a single question on the written exams at the academy."

Itachi sweat dropped and silently cursed at his own skills before smiling ruefully at how ridiculous that sounded.

"You can't win them all Sasuke, don't let it get you down."

"But…you could….you always could."

"Maybe, but you aren't me. You're you, so stop comparing yourself to me."

"But…I want to be like you."

"That's fine, but always remember; you want to be LIKE me, not EXACTLY me."

"What's the difference?"

"Oh, you'll find out some day. Now, let's go home. Mother and father are waiting for us."

Sasuke slowly nodded before his eyes lit up as he remembered something.

"Wait! Itachi, I do have something to show you though."

Itachi turned back around with his eyebrows raised as he displayed mild interest in what Sasuke wanted to show him. Sasuke quickly remade some similar hand seals before he took a deep breath and blew up a giant fireball across the lake that matched what Itachi had showed him several days earlier. The wind blew by as Itachi held his face of surprise at what Sasuke had accomplished before a small found itself on his face.

"Very nice Sasuke, I'm proud of you."

Sasuke smiled back at his brother before he walked to his side and began their journey back home.

"You know Sasuke…..it took me almost 2 weeks to be able to do that after father showed me."

Sasuke's mood brightened considerably in light of this new information as the two brothers journeyed their way back to the compound. Itachi made note of this and smiled to himself.

A little white lie isn't too bad every now and then…..

Sasuke's eyes widened and he was covered in cold sweat. He wanted to move but he couldn't. Fear overtook him after he heard the screams in his household. After some time he finally managed to talk sense into himself as he got out of bed and wandered down the corridor of his house before he reached the main hall. He slid opened the door and could not believe what he saw.

His brother…standing in the middle of the bloody bodies…of his family.

Sasuke couldn't find words to express himself as his brother's eyes slowly looked at him and locked in a dead stare. After some time, his brother simply walked away and out of the compound. Sasuke finally overcame his shock and casted aside all worry before dashing aside to follow his brother. Anger and sadness were resonating in the back of his mind but above all, curiosity. He couldn't believe that his brother would do this. He finally caught up to his brother and yelled out his name causing Itachi to slowly turn around.

"WHY?...WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS ITACHI?...We…we were your family….WHY?!"

Itachi stayed silent as he stared right at his younger brother. This seemed to cause the curiosity and sadness to dissipate only to be replaced by raw anger in Sasuke. With a scream into the air Sasuke ran forward with his fists raised ready to make his brother pay. In a flash of movement he found himself being pushed back as Itachi merely lifted his palm up and parried him back before striking Sasuke's chest. Without another word, Itachi continued to walk forward leaving Sasuke behind. Sasuke cried out in frustration as he slammed the ground.

"Do you have the courage to ride with the devil?"

Sasuke's head immediately shot up as he gazed around for the new voice. He saw a shrouded figure in the shadows holding up a box. Sasuke couldn't find the words to say anything and could only manage a meager nod despite his confusion at the situation. The shrouded figure handed Sasuke a box as well as a strange device that looked like a silver bar with half a W imprinted on it in red. With that, the figured disappeared into the shadows leaving Sasuke alone. Sasuke shook himself out of his thoughts and feelings before opening the box and finding several small rectangular sticks of different colors with letters printed on them. He didn't understand what any of these were for as well as this odd contraption that was handed to him.

"It kind of looks like a belt buckle…."

With that being the only thought on this Sasuke slowly put the thing to his waist not really sure what he was expecting. Suddenly in a flash, the device released a strap on his sides and attached itself securely around his waist like a belt. Suddenly Sasuke felt a surge of confidence from somewhere that even surprised himself. He dashed forward and caught up to his brother once more.

"ITACHI!"

Itachi slowly turned around once more, but this time he had a few words.

"…..I let you go already Sasuke…what do you want?"

Sasuke figured there was no reason left anymore and he felt too filled to the brim with this seemingly odd confidence and his anger over his brother's actions. He looked down and noticed a small slot that would fit a small rectangular bar before something clicked in his head. He looked into the box and grabbed a dark purple rectangular stick with the letter J printed on it as it seemed to interest him the most. He saw a small button on it and pressed it before a loud voice filled the air.

JOKER!

The voice surprised even himself as he had no idea what was the come next. He took the weird purple stick and inserted it into the slot of his strange belt buckle. A sound was made that Sasuke only assumed was the sound of the device accepting the strange bar thing. He looked up and saw Itachi curiously staring at him.

"….What are you doing Sasuke?"

Without even thinking, Sasuke said the only thing that came to his mind.

"I'm….transforming…HENSHIN."

With that the same voice from before filled the air before Sasuke was surrounded by an aura of purple.

JOKER!

Suddenly Sasuke no longer stood there. It was a figure in all black with purple bands around his wrists and ankles as well as a purple W wave motion across his chest and around his back. On his head there were 2 large red circles resembling eyes and a large W antennae structure on his forehead.

Sasuke stood still for a moment before he felt his body filled with strange power. He wasn't sure where it came from, but he felt significantly stronger than before. He looked up at Itachi and uttered several words with his eyes blinking red for every word he spoke.

"Now Itachi….it's time to count up your crimes."

TBC

For KR fans, you can probably guess hes from W and he is now Kamen Rider Joker! My description of him was pretty bad, so if you're familiar with the series than I suppose you should just stick to your memory! Haha, anyhow, shoot me a review for what you think so far!

For those who haven't seen W or just don't watch Kamen Rider, this is what I was trying to describe when Sasuke transformed.
(I can't post links apparently so just google "Kamen Rider Joker")

The weird belt thing I was trying to describe is also in that picture, it's the thing on his waste. You can't see the stick thing I was describing so here is a better picture of it.

(Same problem as above to google "gaia memory" if you're interested in seeing what it's suppose to look like)

See you next time guys!
