De-Raz: Hey there guys, just here hoping you like this story! Like my summary says, I'm not telling you the pairing right now, though if you're smart enough it'll be easy enough to figure out. Make sure you are good readers and review! If you do you're awesome, if not then you are not good readers!

NO FLAMING UNLESS YOU WANT TO ACTUALLY GIVE ADVICE PLZ! JUST SAYING I SUCK AT THIS WOULD NOT BE HELPFUL AT ALL.

Now Naruto shall lead the disclaimer.

Naruto: De-Raz-Bomber does not own Naruto or Sailor Moon franchises at all! Plus I got no money so suing me would not be helpful at all.

"BLABLABLABLABLA" is normal speech

BLABLABLABLABLA is somebody thinking

BLABLABLABLABLA is a special type of talking, just wait and see.

They sky was a clouded gray as the clouds passed overhead, blocking the sunlight and threatening to drown the earth with its rich water. Below those skies on the brown dirt ground stood two people.

One of them was not standing on the ground as much as standing in the air. His lean but muscular body was that of a teen around sixteen years, but supported by two, hand like wings that were a deep brown color which was the same color as the rest of his exposed skin. His hair, that was usually a raven black, was now a gray, dull like the rest of his features. The bridge of his nose was painted black from a cross shape that adorned it. The boy's face was set in an apathetic façade, but hidden in his eyes was a hint of pure rage, directed solely towards the individual in front of him. His eyes were a dark but dull crimson, with three black tomoe spinning wildly around the pupil, analyzing the adversary in front of him.

In his childhood, he had been the Uchiha prodigy, praised by all of Konohagakure for his Sharingan eyes, the last person able to revive the Uchiha clan after its destruction by his own older brother, Uchiha Itachi. His mind, however, was focused solely on vengeance, to destroy his older brother who he once looked up to so dearly. So for the last four years he's been a missing, following Orochimaru's teachings for the first three before killing the snake and beginning his own team to track Akatsuki, the organization Itachi affiliated with. This one nin's name was Uchiha Sasuke, the Uchiha Avenger.

Staring back at his floating form defiantly, with absolute resolve, was a pair of red demonic eyes, filled with a deep crack of hatred and a sea of sorrow. The eyes were usually a deep blue though, only red now due to the use of his tenant's chakra. Those eyes were adorned on a lean muscular face, accentuated with three whisker lines on each cheek that were thicker than usual. His hair was a blonde the color and brightness of the sun, and was in spikes that came down around his head in an unorganized fashion, but for now were more fur like. His body too was muscular and lean, around the same as the Uchiha in front of him. His newly made fangs were bared and claws where his fingernails were supposed to be ready to cut something.

The blonde kid could be compared as the polar opposite as Uchiha Sasuke. Where Sasuke was praised and worshipped for his clan's Sharingan, he had been beaten and ridiculed for something he had no choice in. Where Sasuke's ambition had been cultured and encouraged until he ran away, his dream was nothing but a fantasy, the Konoha Council's narrow mind would never allow them to teach him how to be Hokage, much less accept him as a potential candidate. Where Sasuke had been the fantasy of every girl while in Konoha, the blonde had taken years to notice the affection of one girl, who hadn't the courage to say it to him face to face because of what her clan would say about it. Even now, Sasuke would be welcomed back with open arms with probably nothing more serious than a slap on the wrists, where he had never been wanted in the first place.

So, why risk his life for Uchiha Sasuke, who had betrayed him and escaped from his grasp continuously? Why go through all the trouble when he could just as easily run away again?

Because he was Uzumaki Naruto, the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki, and he never went back on his promises, and Sasuke had been his brother, who knew the pain and loneliness like he did. He would do everything in his power to bring his brother back.

Though, looking at the teen in front of him, Naruto couldn't help but wonder if this was truly the Sasuke he had considered a brother: How could he feel such a deep happiness, yet such a profound hatred for the man he calls brother at the same time?

Uchiha Sasuke had been his childhood rival and his best friend, the closest thing to a brother the blonde had ever had.

But the Sharingan wielder had also been one of his greatest adversaries. This teen had everything Naruto ever wanted, but threw it all away for a dead end dream: revenge. Since he first went to Orochimaru, every confrontation of theirs has been an ever nearing battle to the death.

Each time they almost killed each other, but never could, always tried and always failed.

Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto were brothers by bond; they understood each other's loneliness and pain of loss, but eternal enemies as roadblocks towards their dreams.

Though, what dreams did Naruto have? The Konoha Council had a say in who became Hokage, in fact they're the ones who help train the candidate in the finer points of the politician and negotiator. No way could he ever become Hokage if they didn't even acknowledge him as a candidate.

Even after all the skills he's gained fighting against the Kabuto-controlled Oto village, avoiding the clutches of Akatuski, and his chases against Sasuke, and all the good he's done for the village in these regards, they still didn't acknowledge him as a great Konoha shinobi.

But still, he had his promise to Sakura to fulfill: to bring Sasuke back to Konoha. She was the closest person to him now a sisterly figure like Sasuke had been a brother. But even then, they're busy lives as shinobi made them not see each other as often as they'd like. The same went for the rest of his friends, who had drifted oh so slowly apart. They were still his precious people and comrades for his missions, but to just hang out, all twelve of them together as friends like their gennin days was becoming that much harder. Hinata, Lee, and Tenten all had teams they were assigned as jounin senseis (Kami have mercy on Lee's students), the Ino-Shika-Cho trio of his generation were assigned plenty of missions as an assassination/interrogation squad, Kiba had joined the hunter squads as one of the most successful shinobi for such a young age, and Neji and Shino had joined the ANBU squads. Sakura was the assistant head of the hospital, second in skill only surpassed by Tsunade, even better than Shizune.

He would have been a sensei too, but no parent would want their child under his guidance, so he and Kakashi were usually out on missions as a pair, thereby developing a brotherly relationship, though the Copy-Cat Ninja was more like the perverted uncle nobody in the family likes to talk about. Sometimes he even went off on his own missions or accompanied ANBU squadrons.

It wasn't too surprising actually. Kakashi had looked up to the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, as his own father during the time Minato was his sensei, and he was Naruto's actual birth father, which he had learned when he turned 16. He had lost even more faith in the village after that, not obeying his father's last wish for him to be a hero, when he was already born the son of one of Konoha's greatest. When not on missions or spending time with his friends, the blonde could be found with the silver haired shinobi as he told stories about his team's old adventures and about his father. When Jiraiya was in town he too would tell Naruto things about Minato's childhood as they trained.

But a few days ago, Tsunade received word from Jiraiya about Sasuke's whereabouts, which leads us to where we were now. Kakashi and two other Jounins were dealing with the rest of Hebi, leaving Sasuke to Naruto.

"One last attack, how about it Sasu-chan?" Naruto taunted the Uchiha avenger above him. He only had enough chakra for one last Rasengan, and was hoping Sasuke would take the bait.

"You will never make me go back Dobe, not until I achieve my revenge" Sasuke replied, charging his right hand with black lightning and the sounds of Chidori. Naruto swirled his chakra around his hand, the reddish orb of the Kyuubi-powered Rasengan forming above his palm.

They both glared at each other, daring the other to make the first move. By some unseen signal, both of them charged at the same time, Sasuke swooping down as Naruto jumped up to greet him, both of their techniques charged with all of their remaining chakra.

"I'm bringing you back to Konoha today Sasuke!"

Chidori vs. Rasengan met in a whirlwind of chakra and power, before creating an explosion that blew away the debris of their manmade clearing; the two fighters were blocked from view by a cloud of smoke.

Kakashi had made it into the clearing just in time to see the explosion, which was incredible in size and power. His one uncovered eye was alight in a small bit of awe and pride. There weren't even any rocks in the area of the explosion, just charred ground as after effects.

Naruto, you have definitely grown stronger.

He didn't know how the other two jounin were doing against the rest of Hebi, but he was able to defeat Suigetsu, but luckily still had enough chakra for what he was about to pull. He was hoping that Naruto would be knocked out as well as Sasuke, so that way he wouldn't see what he had to do. What Naruto didn't know was that this wasn't supposed to be a retrieval mission.

FLASHBACK (Tsunade's office):

Naruto had just walked out of the Hokage's office, gone to pack for his newest chance to capture Sasuke. Tsunade, however, had held Kakashi back to speak with him personally.

"What was it you needed to tell me Hokage-sama?" the laid back jounin inquired.

Tsunade laid her hands together in front of her. "Kakashi, I'm assigning you an ulterior objective for this mission."

This had his attention, if the fact he put away his book was any indication. "What do you mean Hokage-sama?"

Tsunade leaned over her desk, making sure she had Kakashi's attention. "What I mean, Kakashi, is that the Uchiha can not really be let back. The council, those fools, would overpower me in any attempt to severely punish Sasuke like he should be, and be put in an easy position to escape to any of our enemies, exposing our secrets for power. Kakashi, your objective for this mission is to eliminate Uchiha Sasuke."

"What about Naruto, Tsunade-sama, how do you think he will feel about this?"

Tsunade slumped on her chair again, grabbing a bottle of sake. "I know he'll hate me for this, but this is for the good of the village."

FLASHBACK KAI:

As the smoke cloud cleared, he noticed Sasuke was laying down unconscious on one end of the clearing, back to his regular state. Kakashi lifted up his hitae-ate, revealing his Sharingan slowly morphing to its Mangekyou state.

Naruto was slumped but standing on the other end of the clearing, the Kyuubi's chakra slowly healing his injuries. As the cloud was clearing, he saw Sasuke was lying down unconscious, and couldn't be more overjoyed. He was going to achieve his promise to Sakura, and bring the Uchiha back!

But the blonde teen noticed the silver hair of Kakashi near the trees, his Mangekyou Sharingan staring at Sasuke intently. Naruto began to panic; Kakashi had described the technique his Mangekyou gave him, he had described the effects similar to a black hole, where it absorbed anything it hit into a point of singularity and oblivion. He had to stop it from hitting Sasuke!

Before he could even think, he ran between the faintly noticeable chakra of his technique and the unconscious Uchiha. The pain of when it hit him was astounding, much more than anytime he used Kyuubi's chakra. His bones were breaking apart, his skin was peeling off, his blood vessels were popping open, but the entire blood fell into Kakashi's man made 'black hole' before hitting the ground. It felt like his body was breaking down into molecules, and being packed together into the size of an atom, which was probably an accurate description. The last thing he saw was Kakashi's eyes wide in surprise, fear, worry, and regret. Naruto just gave him one last foxy grin despite the pain, as if saying 'I forgive you' before everything went black.

"HE'S WHAAAT!"

"I'm sorry Hokage-sama, but it's true."

The Copy Nin Kakashi left her office after that in a swirl of leaves to go to the Memorial Stone; he hoped that somehow his sensei could forgive him for killing his own son.

Naruto wanted to be on that stone… he thought morbidly, thinking back to that day Naruto had said that without even knowing what it was for, the day he trained his first batch of gennin. He had let them all down in their own way. I never thought he would ever be put on there though.

Tsunade couldn't believe it, she wouldn't. Kakashi had just come in reporting the failure of their mission. The two jounin had been defeated and were in the hospital, allowing Hebi to rescue Sasuke as Kakashi was in shock that Naruto was…

She couldn't say it, couldn't think about it. But it was the only thing on her mind now. The blonde bundle of energy that she saw as her own son was KIA, killed in action. Because of Kakashi's technique, there wasn't even a body to bury, but she'd be dead before being refused to put his name on the Memorial Stone.

What was even worse was how he died. Kakashi's Mangekyou might have done it, but he wouldn't have used it on Sasuke at all if she hadn't ordered the silver haired ninja to kill the Uchiha. Naruto's death was on her hands now. It was like that for all the ninja who died on missions; she had been the one to give them that mission and their death was her fault for sending them. But to have it happen to Naruto was just too much.

Shizune had been there too as Kakashi gave his report, and was desperately trying to hold back her tears. Naruto had been like the sweet younger brother, and she had always wanted a sibling. But she knew she had to be strong and comfort Tsunade, she was taking this harder than she was.

Today the clouds finally started to pour down its water and drench Konoha, as if the heavens were crying for his death.

There was no doubt the Slug Sannin would all day.

"What?!"

"You can't be serious?"

"No way he'd be…"

"He is" the pink haired girl said assured, though she desperately wished she wasn't. She had been behind the door the whole time Kakashi had given his report, and heard that Naruto had died saving Sasuke from Kakashi's Mangekyou.

She had quickly left in tears and gathered all of his friends as she told them. She was lucky none of them had missions at the time.

All the guys had their heads down. They had lost a great comrade and a better friend, and it was to save some traitor.

Ino and Tenten were also depressed hearing the news, but no doubt Hinata was taking it the worst. The Hyuuga Heiress was in tears over the blonde's death, the most depressed of any of them.

Now I'll never get to tell Naruto-kun how I felt about him was the prevalent thought on her mind.

Sakura had gathered them all at Ichiraku's, where the blonde had visited every day for bowls of ramen. She thought it was fitting that they had a meal in his memory, which the others had agreed to wholeheartedly.

Naruto, wherever you are…I hope you're happy Sakura thought as the Konoha Ten ate and talked, hoping to forget the depressing mood for now at least.

This is what being dead feels like, huh? I didn't think it'd be so…white. Maybe it's just a dream.

Looking all around him, the only thing Uzumaki Naruto could see was white expanding as far as the eye could see. He had no idea what he was supposed to be doing now, until a voice called out to him.

"Naruto-kun" The voice was like a soft melody that was music to his ears, and filled his being with comfort and warmth he never felt before. The closest he could compare it to was those rare hugs Tsunade gave him whenever she was glad to see him alive after doing something particularly stupid that nearly kills him. But still, just this voice felt so much better.

"Naruto-kun" the same voice called again, and the blonde decided to answer this time.

"Hello! Where are you? Where am I?"

"You have to remember, Naruto-kun."

"Remember? Remember what?" he asked confused.

"Remember who you are."

"I know perfectly well who I am, Naruto Uzumaki!" he shouted towards the nothingness, before all the white started to darken as he was losing consciousness. Why he was he didn't know.

The last thing he saw was a blurry visage of a person, so blurry that the only details he could gather was that the person was a female and had a crescent moon on her forehead.
