Author's Note: Hey, well readers it's the first time I've written a story like this before so I apologise for any horrendous mistakes and if it is poorly written. As it is my first story, I don't feel comfortable with writing romantic stories, so I doubt this story will have any pairings. That could all change however according to reviews however. Anyway, no one likes a long AN so on with the story!

Disclaimer: I do not, and probably will never own Naruto. 'Starts Crying'

'Someone is thinking'

"Someone/ Kyūbiis talking"

"Someone is shouting" 'Kyūbiis thinking'

Chapter One: Revelations.

Devastation everywhere, cracked pieces of earth, signs of a powerful battle. Rain falling heavily onto the figures below, as if the sky was crying for what happened here. Blue eyes search the area, looking for something, anything that can give a sign as to where his friend went.

"There's still a trace of their scent …but…"

"We're too late…". Those words, echo through his mind, too late, too late, too late…

"SASUKE!!"

Naruto collapses to his knees, in grief, tears mixed in with the rain.

'Why? Why couldn't I get here in time? Why?'

A deep chuckle resonates within Narutos' mind.

"You know why, foolish human. You failed to use my power, you failed to beat that Akatsuki member, and it took to long to get here. You failed because you are weak without me. Your strongest attack, the Rasenshuriken went right through him. You're weak. Sasuke beat Itachi, an S-Class nin who massacred the entire Uchiha clan and he beat Orochimaru, the man who defeated the Sandaime Hokage. Do you really think you can match his power? Do you really think, after all these years, that you could bring him back, without using my power? That he would come back to Konoha, and everything would be…

'SHUT UP!! I HATE YOU! I DON'T NEED YOUR POWER TO BE STRONG! I MIGHT BRING SASUKE BACK WITH YOUR POWER, BUT I'LL HURT EVERYONE I CARE ABOUT, YAMATO-SENSEI, KAKASHI-SENSEI, SAKURA-CHAN EVERYONE! I CAN DO IT WITH MY OWN POWER, I WILL BRING BACK SASUKE, I PROMISED SAKURA-CHAN DATTEBAYO!'

"ENOUGH! You are foolish and weak, you pitiful human. To think, the Yondaime Hokage sealed me in such a pathetic container. Listen fleshbag, and listen well. Sasuke will not come back. He used a Chidori and pierced your body with it. Without me, you would be dead. If it were not for Orochimaru and Kabuto arriving in our last encounter, we would most likely be dead. His speed and power was too much for you. Would anyone really harm their so-called 'brother'? Either way, Akatsuki have Sasuke. I doubt that they will forgive him for killing Uchiha Itachi, a powerful member of their group, so therefore Sasuke is most likely dead. In order to protect us, you need my power, you need ME!"

'Ha! Sasuke is tougher than that! He won't die! Not until the Uchiha clan is restored dattebayo! And I don't need you, I can handle it on my own! '

" Face it gaki, you know Akatsuki. Brutal and vicious. You know they didn't take him for the hell of it. Akatsuki will either kill him and take his eyes, or keep him and run experiments on him. Either way, your 'brother' Uchiha Sasuke is no more." The great Kyūbi no Yōkō starts to chuckle, a deep and ugly laughter, which reverbrates around the sewers in Narutos' head.

Naruto closes his eyes, and anger rushes through his blood. The red bubbles start to swirl violently around Naruto in his mind, and red chakra starts to surround Naruto's body.

"Damn it! Naruto's losing himself to his anger!" shouts Kakashi. He quickly fumbles for the seal Jiraiya gave him if Naruto ever gained the Demon Fox's Cloak. He grabs it out of his pocket and looks up at Naruto. His eyes widen in shock as his reaches four tails. A shard of doubt lodges in Kakashi's mind, would this seal work on four tails? Naruto turns his head, the red slits for eyes replacing his pure blue ones, his hair jagged and his whiskers more pronounced. With a guttural roar, Naruto charges his at his sensei, claws ready to swipe and kill him. Before he gets to Kakashi, a figure appears in the middle of the two.

"Yamato!" Kakashi shouts with relief.

Performing various hand seals, Yamato shouts, "Hokage-Shiki Jijun Jutsu! Kakuan Nitten Suishu!!", and hits Naruto right in the chest. Drawing power from Naruto's necklace, he leaps back, chakra visible in one hand, connected to Naruto's chest like a string. With his other hand he hits the floor, and 11 wooden structures with spikes appear from the ground, surrounding Naruto. Slowly, the Kyūbi's chakra is forced back, and Naruto falls to the floor unconcious.

Eyes widen in shock, emotions ranging from fear to sadness appear on various faces. Silence dawns on the group, while Sakura runs towards Naruto, healing chakra in her hand.

"Naruto-kun…" Hinata whispers.

"What the fuck was that?" Kiba demands.

Kakashi and Yamato look at each other solemnly.

"This is an S-Class secret, punishable by death that I am about to reveal to you, so do not take this information lightly. Remember the attack by the Kyūbi no Yōkō on October 10th. Well the Yondaime didn't kill the demon fox, instead he sacrificed his life to seal it into a newborn infant, also born on the same day. That baby was Naruto, unfortunately, the village failed to honour the Yondaime's last request, which was for Naruto to be regarded as a hero."

Kakashi lets this information sink in as he watches the faces of the various ninjas present.

'I hope they will treat him as the boy, no the man he is, and not the demon he contains. He needs his friends at a time like this, and if they reject him… who knows what will happen' Kakashi muses.

"Naruto has been loyal to Konoha, and to his friends. The fact that he contains the Kyūbi doesn't change him a person." Shino emotionally states.

"Yeah damn right! Right Akamaru!" Kiba shouts. Akamaru barks loudly, his tail wagging.

"N-Naruto-kun is our friend, and always will be" Hinata timidly chips in.

"Naruto is our comrade… and friend" Sai adds.

Both Kakashi and Yamato smile at the heartwarming display of friendship. Kakashi runs over to Naruto, and looks at the state that he is in, dark marks slowly receeding from his skin.

"How is he Sakura?".

Sakura breathes a sigh of relief. "He'll be fine Kakashi-sensei, but I would like to take him back to Konoha for observation, and let Tsunade- Shishō take a look at him to make sure he's alright."

"What about Sasuke?"

Sakura pauses, and looks Kakashi in the eyes, conviction aflame in her eyes. "Naruto is more important." She turns her head, and continues to provide healing chakra to Naruto, dismissing the matter .

With the other ninjas starting to crowd round Naruto, Kakashi moves towards Yamato.

"I'm glad to see Naruto has such friends who are able to see him for who he truly is, it is a shame however most people cannot" Yamato sighs.

"Hmm, I know exactly what you mean. Naruto's mental health must be taking a battering however, the repeated failure of not being able to bring Sasuke back must be having a detrimental affect on him. If he fails again, or if something happens, I think he will break." Kakashi somberly notes.

"I don't want to imagine what will happen if he does break. Do you think we should stop him from going on active missions for a while?"

Kakashi chuckles at that. "You know Naruto. Never can stay still for more than 5 minutes, unless he's asleep or unconcious."

Yamato cracks a smile at that too. "Should we head back to Konoha?"

Kakashi gazes into the distance, the rain making his gravity defying hair sag downwards.

"Yeah, lets go home".

AN: Yeah! My first chapter! What did you think? Too short? How could it be improved? Let me know! Anyways, with all my college work at the moment and revision for tests, I am not sure when the next chapter will be. It won't be that long though!
