Title: A World Without Evil, Sort Of…

Author: Justarius

Submission Date: 4/5/07

Synopsis: What would Konoha be like if the Nine-Tailed Fox didn't exist? And neither did any of the other tailed demons. Well, Naruto and Sauske are about to find out. However, the Fourth doesn't really like spies, so…

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any other characters shown in the manga of anime Naruto. Like everyone else here, this is just done for fun. :P

--Valley of the End, Demos Dimension—

Naruto snarled. That damn bastard still holds his precious vengeance above everything! Even after I opened up to him just a moment ago! He's coming back whether he wants to or not. "Rasengan!"

Sasuke, likewise, snarled back. That moron thinks that he knows everything. Just because we share a bond he thinks I can shirk off my responsibility to avenge my clan. I'll show him my pain! "Chidori!"

The two ninja collided in a clash of blue and red light. As they did, an explosion of smoke enveloped the two of them, leaving no trace of either of them, except a slashed forehead protector, and the shredded remains of Naruto's orange jacket. These fell along the river bed, smoking.

Kakashi arrived at the scene not long after. He saw the smoke cloud with his sharingan, so he was considerably worried over the outcome of this battle, since no chakra use could be felt afterward. This was especially strange since, if he wanted to, he could usually sense Kyubi healing Naruto whenever he was injured severely.

Kakashi looked around the area, hoping against hope that they had both killed each other. Pakkun arrived and also smelled for any trace of them. Finally, Kakashi found the forehead protector and the jacket lying on the river bed.

"That's all that's left of them? They must have really hated each other," remarked Pakkun.

"Enough," replied a teary Kakashi. I've failed those dearest to me again. I don't deserve to be a shinobi. All my training and I can't even arrive fast enough to save two teenagers from their own ambitions. "Let's bring these back for a memorial and inform Hokage-sama of the bad news. She won't likely take it too well."

Pakkun nodded and followed Kakashi back to Konoha.

--Valley of the End, Natos Dimension—

Arashi scowled at Orochimaru. This traitor dared show his face in Konoha after all he had done to the village! I'll capture and torture him myself!

The mutilated bodies of all the missing children in the village had been found in Orocihimaru's estate, where he had obviously been performing experiments to access their bloodline traits and create new ones. Among the dead, the Fourth Hokage's second and youngest child, Niri, had been found. The Fourth's eldest son, Naruto, got the sad task of finding the site, as well as his sister's mangled corpse. Arashi didn't think he would ever see his son's happy, playful eyes again, as Naruto took the blame of his sister's death on himself.

"Orochimaru," the young Hokage snarled, "you are coming back to Konoha for trial and sentencing with me. Be glad I don't reduce you to ash this second!"

Orochimaru chuckled. "My, oh great Hokage, don't you put a lot of faith in your strength." He quickly sliced open his thumb with a kunai. "I know you can beat me, Yellow Flash, but can you beat Kyubi no Kitsune? Forbidden Demonic Art: Summoning Demon Jutsu!" Orochimaru slammed his hand on the ground and, in a large explosion of smoke, two figures flew out and crashed into the two statues.

Arashi, having never seen anyone build up the nerve to summon a demon to this world, was stunned. This was an extremely risky action, as demons were theorized as having no loyalty to the summoner, and reveled in killing off natural beings.

Just as Arashi was about to summon Gamabunta, he noticed the stunned expression on Orochimaru's face, and then he simply dissolved into a puddle of mud, as he made his retreat.

Arashi looked to the two figures that appeared from the summoning, fearing that they might be demons.

There was no doubt in Arashi's mind that they were demons on first inspection. The blonde one had claws and fangs and whisker marks on his cheeks. However, he also strangely had a Konoha forehead protector. The other had wings and was somewhat disfigured. But all those features seemed to be fading.

They were both heavily injured, but not in critical condition, almost like they had just escapes some huge battle. However, what caught his attention the most was that one of the demons looked just like his son, Naruto; and the other looked like the brother of the Uchiha clan head.

--Konoha Hospital, Natos Dimension—

Sasuke woke up in a lot of pain. He also realized that he was strapped down to a bed. Damn, so Naruto actually beat me? How did that bastard get so strong?

Sasuke looked to his right and saw Naruto in another hospital bed. Well, at least I was able to wake up first. Kakashi-sensei must have found us after that last clash. I'll probably be tried as a missing-nin.

Then he noticed that Naruto was also strapped down. Sasuke drew in a quick breath. Did that dobe come after me against orders? They wouldn't restrain anyone like this unless they were either emotionally unstable or criminal suspect. Naruto couldn't be sleeping more calmly.

As if on que, Naruto opened his eyes and looked around dazed. "Where am I?" He tried to stretch oud and found he had been heavily restrained. "Damn that Sauske! Not only does he beat me, but he captures me to!" He turned his head, still struggling, when he noticed Sasuke. His aggressive expression suddenly turned to stupefied. "Sasuke? Why are you restrained too?"

Sighing, Sasuke said angrily, "Apparently we were both captured after we knocked each other out by some other village, dobe."

"But who would want to capture both of us, teme?"

"I'm not sure. My first guess would be Akatsuki. However, that doesn't explain why we're still alive."

Just then, the door opened, and to both ninjas' surprise, Ibiki walked in, along with ten ANBU.

"Well, maggots," said Ibiki calmly, "unless you two want to get stepped on, we're going to be having a rather lengthy and detailed chat." Ibiki then proceeded to pull out a tool pouch, containing all sorts of tools; whose use neither Naruto nor Sasuke were really interested in finding out, but whose use Ibiki seemed to want to demonstrate to them anyway.

Sasuke sighed, and turned to Naruto. "You know, dobe, keeping me from defecting by defecting yourself doesn't really work."

Author's Notes:

Alright, this is my first fanfic, or really any other fic for that matter. What do you think? I like the story, so I'll probably continue despite others thoughts, but I'll definitely try to incorporate any good ideas into the fic.
