Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, but wouldn't it be awesome if I did?

AN: As I mentioned I am redoing this story, so don't expect it to be a lot like the last one, it will be a similar plot, but I plan on writing it differently and changing up the characters as well. I apologize if I can any of the names' spelling wrong. I think I have estimated the timeline correctly in order for this story to work. Feel free to review! I loved getting them as a PM because for some reason I cannot view them here. Wierd right?

I have trained my whole life for this, so why is it, in this very moment… I cannot bring myself to do it. I was trained by the best ninja possible and yet, I wasn't prepared for this unexpected feeling. Yet I am afraid to admit it, does he feel the same? Love was always something I have questioned. What is it? What's the point of it? Why does it matter? Is it what's stopping me from completing my life's mission?

Chapter 1: Introduction

Many years ago…

The Hokage sat in his favorite spot looking out at the scenery before him. He'd been the Hokage for a long time. He knew his time would end soon, his only question was, when was that time? He didn't bother to ponder on the question too much, having been distracted by a knock on his door. "Come in," he spoke as three ANBU members walked in. "Yes?" "Hokage, Surani, he's had another vision." He sat at his desk and thought for a minute. Surani hadn't had a vision in quite some time.

This boy's magical ability was still an unknown force. He was born with it, and sometimes it came as an advantage. The boy was able to receive visions of the future on a rare occasion, but the problem with this was that no matter how much you try to alter it, it was going to happen. Surani's visions were rare. But they were valuable and made him a target, so he was forced to be held safely in a hidden location with his family.

"What was it about?" The Hokage looked up after thinking for a moment. The leader stepped forward and handed him a scroll. "He's written it down for you." The Hokage looked it over and read it once more to make sure it was correct. "I see," he spoke as he set the scroll down. "What's your command?" The leader asked. He wasn't surprised when he didn't answer right away.

The Hokage was playing the vision in his mind, thinking it over. "So…" he finally spoke. "It looks like the Uchiha boy will betray the village….his team…maybe his brother?" he asked mainly to himself. "Yes that in summary is what Surani saw," they replied. The Hokage sighed sadly, he had had such high hopes for this boy. He knew that there was nothing he could change. Whoever his sensei and team would be, he couldn't change it, because somehow in the end, it would always end the same.

A few minutes of silence passed by when the Hokage finally spoke. "Bring me Kakashi Hatake, Ibiki Morino, and Jiraiya Monogatari if you're able to contact him." They didn't question his request and were gone within an instant.

After some time, Ibiki and Kakashi had arrived, but no sign of Jiraiya, which wasn't a surprise to the Hokage. "You asked for us?" Kakashi finally spoke. "Yes, well it seems that Surani has had another vision." Kakashi and Ibiki, as well as Jiraiya knew of Surani due to their own ANBU days. "Obviously we know there is nothing we can do about it, but once this vision comes to pass. We can be prepared." "I don't quite follow you," Ibiki spoke. "Let me tell you about this vision." "That would be helpful," Kakashi commented.

The Hokage reopened the scroll he'd previously read and spoke the words aloud. He spoke the name of Sasuke Uchiha and of his life at the Ninja Academy. How he would be placed with Team 7 alongside Sakura Haruno and Naruto Uzumaki, with Kakashi as their teacher. Kakashi was caught off guard by that a little, he hadn't even considered going into something like that yet. Looks like he was going to now in a few years.

The Hokage continued to read once Kakashi had recovered and spoke of the Chunin exam, Orochimaru's attack, and Sasuke's abandonment to the village. "That's about it," the Hokage finished as he placed the scroll down. "Of course we don't know enough of the details, like as to why he'll do these things, this was all Surani has seen." "So what did you want us to be prepared for?" Ibiki spoke. The Hokage placed a hand on the scroll and sighed deeply. "We need to prepare for the assignation of Sasuke Uchiha."

Plans were immediately put in order for the assignation. They decided they would train three ninja specifically for this mission, because the Hokage had a feeling that Sasuke Uchiha would have abilities beyond what the Academy would teach him. Even though Sasuke was still young and had just started the Academy, the three ninja chosen were young as well and taken away from the village to be trained in every art possible to help put a stop to him. As time continued to pass, the village continued to grow and new genin were beginning to depart for missions. The three young children chosen for the S-Class mission, were kept from outside missions, and were focused on training and using their teamwork. These students worked every with every specialist given to them. Kurenai for her justsu, Ibiki with interrogation, Kakashi to practice with the Sharingan, a little time spent with Lady Tsuande learning medical ninjutsu, along with many other ninja.

Years continued to pass and the vision was becoming more and more real than just a dream. Everything that Surani had seen was coming true. But what no one had expected was the death of their beloved Third Hokage, who would replace him, and what destruction would come to the Leaf.

More time passed as the leaf recovered from the damage of Pein and the return of the Fifth Hokage. War was still on the rise, but years continued to go by and it seemed as if the allied nations were going to win. But Tsuande had something else on her mind as well. The secret S-Class mission the assassinate Sasuke. She'd been given the details on the situation long ago when she helped train them in medical ninjustu, but with war possibly coming to an end, she began to wonder if now would be the time to stike him.
