Hey guys this is my first fan fiction and I hope you like it. If you read it please leave reviews and I'll try to update it depending on reviews. So without further delay I present the first chapter.

The adventure takes place after Naruto and Sasuke graduate from the academy. Sasuke is very upset due to the fact that he lost to Naruto at every training session. Sasuke spends time after the graduation to ponder his thoughts on how to become stronger.

Lake near the Uchiha Village (one week after graduation)

During one of Sasuke's ponder sessions he notices and obstructed figure in the water. Sasuke thinks to himself, *what could that odd figure be and how did it appear in the lake.* suddenly the figure vanishes and appears at the far end of the lake.

Sasuke runs towards the figure hoping to catch it. The figure vanishes right before his eyes. Sasuke mumbles to himself, *where the fuck did it go.* the figure reappears at the edge of the dock. However to make sure it doesn't get away this time Sasuke decides to use ninjutsu "Fire style: Fireball Jutsu!" he yells before he breaths a good size fireball at the figure. Hoping to see the figure smoking from the fire, Sasuke lets down his guard, unaware of the fact that it was just a clone.

The figure somehow mysteriously vanished with the smoke and ends up behind Sasuke. With a soul chilling voice the figure says, "I have been watching and waiting for the perfect opportunity to give you a proposition." "Oh, and what might that be." Sasuke replies. "You become my apprentice and I'll train you to redeem yourself and your clan." The figure says without a hesitation in its voice. Sasuke says in a demanding voice, "I'll only go with you if you tell me who was responsible for my clan's decimation." With a voice filled with regret the figures says, "The man who destroyed your clan was… Madara Uchiha." Sasuke's eyes were wide with shock. "Is that even possible?" He asked while still in shock. "Yes." The figure says in an emotionless voice. Sasuke says with and intrigued tone, "Alright I'll go with you." "Excellent!" the figure says.

Tenchi Bridge

Sasuke looked at Nagato head to toe, he was dressed in an obsidion cloak with a red cloud pattern. He had blood red hair and his eyes were blue with ripples. Sasuke had trouble identifying them. Nagato notices and says, "My eyes look like this because it's the rinnegan." Sasuke seemed interested by them.

"By the way my name is Nagato and if want to live you will call me sensei." Nagato says with determination. "Fine." Sasuke says even though he can't tolerate being respectful.

"So where are we headed?" Sasuke asks. "We are headed to Amegakure." Nagato replies. "There we will get you properly suited for training." "What do you mean by properly suited?" Sasuke asks. Nagato says with anticipation, "I have made a special cloak that will allow you to move faster and help you in your sharingan training." As Nagato finished his sentence they leaped into the river and headed to Amegakure.

Amegakure (Nagato's Tower)

They headed straight to the tallest building in the village. There Nagato showed Sasuke his room where his new cloak was lying in wait. The cloak was made of spider silk decorated with purple flames along with the Uchiha emblem on the back. At the instant he put it on he felt the surge of chakra support flow through his body. As Sasuke embraced the sensation he thought to himself, *I feel revitalized from the long journey and yet I wonder how it will help with my sharingan training.*

Sasuke turned around and asked with anticipation, "So when do we start… Sensei." "Ah!" Nagato replied, "You think you are ready to start, however, you have idea what effects the cloak may have on your body at first." "Until we know the tolls of the cloak's affect on your body, we cannot start the real training." "During my observations I have figured out your weak points." "You lack in chakra control and close combat."

"In the next few weeks we will work on chakra control. After that we will work on your jutsu range." Then after you have mastered a few jutsus you will train close combat." "What about my sharingan?" Sasuke asks impatiently. "I will decide when you are ready." Nagato says while starring at Sasuke with eyes filled with death and curiosity.

Konan appeared in the doorway. "Ah. So I see you have returned, and who might this be?" she asked. "This is Sasuke Uchiha he is my new apprentice." Nagato said without a sign of emotion. "Who is this?" Sasuke asked. "This is Konan and you will report to her if you seek information on Amegakure. Also show your respect, you don't need to call her sensei but don't be hateful. She will not hesitate to kill you even though you are my apprentice." He informs Sasuke.

"Do you need anything Nagato?" Konan asked. "Not at the moment." He said as Konan turned to leave the room. "Sasuke, I think it's time to test the cloak. We shall depart for the training area behind the market warehouse as soon as you are ready." Sasuke replies with excitement in his eyes, however not shown directly, "Well what shall I need sensei?" "You need only the cloak. Since afterwards we will work on your chakra control." Nagato answers. "Then I am ready." Sasuke says with some respect shown in his voice. "Good, now follow me." Nagato says while walking towards the doorway.

I hope you enjoyed the first chapter. Also, I got permission from my brother who writes "Leader by Fate" to write out Sasuke's path to advancement in ability. PLEASE leave reviews and remember this is a work in progress. Note: I have decided only to use the honorifics for the villages. All this happens while his story is in motion so if you wish to read his story on Naruto, please do! He really enjoys the readers and reviews.
