A/N Hello dear reader,
this is beginning of my first fanfic ever written, which I sadly didn't finish. I just recently came around it on my dA account and decided to pick it up and try to finish it this time.
It's not yaoi or shonen ai, not that I don't like that stuff, but it just didn't feel right for this story.
Oh and I don't own any character, nor I'm making any profit from this story.
If you spot any grammatical error or mistake feel free to tell me, I'm not native English speaker after all =)
Hope you enjoy reading this story as well as I enjoyed writing it.
Prologue (beginning of this story is set 5-6 years after current Shippuuden events)
Sasuke sat in his lab and was bored. All the promises about revenge he made had been fulfilled and now he didn´t have anything to do. He thought about all dead people in his life and apprecieted himself for good work. When he was half-lost in memories, he felt familiar chakra signature entering his house. „Oh gods, not him, not again." he sighed and prepared himself for meeting with intruder.
„Hi, Sasuke." Despite all expectations, that was all the blonde visitor said. „What´s with him? Has he finally grown up?" Sasuke had to laugh at his own thoughts, „dobe and grow up? World must be upside down."
„What do you want and where is the annoying tail of yours, Sakura?" the girl never missed any chance to visit him with Naruto.
„She´s dead, everybody is dead. Konoha is destroyed."
„When? Did I miss something?" Sasuke always thougt how well is he informed, but now he found a little gap in his information web.
„You live in this cave since your official return to Konoha and you didn´t find anything suspicious? Maybe the great hole instead of village? Nothing? What about the missing Hokage monument? Damnit, right after my head was added there. No? And what about me not visiting you for two years? You still didn´t find anything suspicious? And I´m the one called dobe here."
„So whole Konoha is destroyed, like if I care." Sasuke felt his reputation as genius became suddenly slightly stained.
„Hey, you are one of ninjas supposed to protect the village. When you came here, you took the job as ANBU and swore your loyality to Konoha and its Hokage. You swore to me."
„That was just stupid ritual all the ANBU do." Sasuke was bored even more now and he wished Naruto just to leave.
„All the ANBU fullfiled their promise and fought for this village, oh, there was one who didn´t, who was it? Guess you know the answer. But let´s cut this stuff I came here for another reason."
„So ? Spill it out, the earlier you say it, the earlier you could just leave me be."
„Well you know about Orochimaru´s techniques and one of them is supposed to be time-traveling jutsu."
„How do you know about it?"
„Maybe I´m an idiot, but once I´m Hokage I have to be informed idiot."
„And what you want to do with that jutsu? Save Konoha, your family, friends, pets and your favorite ramen stand? That´s not possible, you could break the timeline and make everything dissapear or even worse, you could succesfully change it and turn this world and timeline upside down."
„No, I .. just.." Naruto seemed serious and it brought Sasuke creeps. „I just want to see them again. To live with them for a while and to say properly goodbye."
„Oh, and I thought you had some serious reasons. But what you want from me? You seem to know more about the jutsu than myself so what do you want?"
„There must be at least two people performing that jutsu."
„Forget it."
„C´mon Sasuke, I´m your best friend."
„Considering the fact you are only person who calls himself my friend you are maybe my best friend, but you are my most hated friend in the same time."
„Stubborn bastard, I´m your friend, your Hokage and only person in your life who didn´t die due to your stupid revenge. So do me a favour and spend one month in past with me, it could be fun."
„You can really be annoying. Ok, I will spend one month with you in past but you promise me to never disturb me again, dobe-sama."
„Dobe-sama?"
„You are my Hokage, so I have to show my respect." Sasuke didn't try to hide his amused smirk.
„Oh, I´m impressed. But ok, do me this favour and I won´t disturb you in this stinky hole anymore. See you in three weeks." Naruto handed him few scrolls with jutsu description.
Naruto has left and Sasuke didn´t want to admit it, but felt a little excited. Maybe it can really be fun, he was bored like hell, so why don´t try this stupid idea of even more stupid friend of his
0. Here we go
Two friends stood on the hill, which used to be Konoha´s Hokage monument. Young blonde Hokage sighed and looked at raven haired maybe-ANBU, who stood there in silence.
„You know, I´m now Hokage of nothing and I was Hokage for nothing, I could´t help them and the worst thing is that I survived. They fought for Konoha and for me, they died for Konoha and for me and I couldn´t even join them in death."
„Don´t be silly and quit this pityful speech, dobe-sama. You were the one who said that it would be funny when we used Orochimaru´s not-sure-working time-travel technique and something about meeting precious people and the blah blah whatewer stuff we lived so hurry up and do the stupid jutsu to take us in times, when the world was worth of revenge."
„For the god´s sake, is there any day you don´t think about revenge?"
„Of course not, I´m an avenger after all."
Naruto rolled his eyes and then nodded to Sasuke to take stance. Then they started to perform time travel jutsu.
It took them more than twelve hours, but they were finally ready to go to the past. Just before they walked in portal, Naruto stopped and looked at Sasuke with curious look.
„Teme, you know, we can forget it all and die, but I need you to tell me one important thing before we do the last step."
„What is it dobe-sama?"
„Were you really emo?"
Sasuke couldn´t believe that his blonde friend (aka idiot) said what he said. So he ignored question and just walked in and pushed blonde with him.
And then the darkness swallowed them.
