((I know I have many stories I need to finish…but this idea wouldn't leave me alone! This is a sort of Naruto Musical, using songs already out there that suit a plot that I have created myself. Hopefully people enjoy it, but this might take a while to finish, because I'll be working on this and my many other stories…
"Talking"
"Singing"
"Dream People Talking"
"Dream People Singing"
As a Side note let me explain something: One, Orochimaru is still alive, but Sasuke has been captured and taken back by Naruto and Sakura. He is slowly becoming as he once was, but something still continues to bug him.))
Naruto : Act 1 : Scene 1
A light rain fell overhead as the village of Konoha continued about their daily business. The Yamanaka family ran their flower shop, and the Ichiraku Ramen Bar was open and serving their number one customer…at least, as most days went, but this wasn't most days.
Uzumaki Naruto sat down at the bar, staring into his bowl of ramen, and beside him an equally silent Hatake Kakashi. Naruto sighed and looked over to him, a confused, almost disbelieving look in his eyes.
"…Kakashi-sensei, you can't be serious? Why wouldn't anyone tell me if it was true?!" Naruto almost shouted as he hit the bar in front of him. Kakashi sighed and looked over to Naruto with his only showing eye.
"We were asked not to…but after Tsunade and I talked we decided it would be a good idea to let you know…"
Naruto growled lightly as a single tear fell down his cheek.
"Does everyone know?" He asked softly, pushing away his ramen. Kakashi shook his head and looked sadly at the young Shinobi.
"Only Tsunade, Jiraiya, Yomato and I…No one else knows…" Naruto stood and began to make his way outside. When Kakashi stood to walk with him Naruto shook his head, smiling at his sensei.
"No…don't worry Kakashi-sensei; I just need to think, alright?" Kakashi nodded and allowed the young blond to walk out into the rain.
Three hours later Naruto stood before the Hokage monument, his eyes fixated on two of the giant faces. The first was Sarutobi, the third Hokage…the "Professor". Naruto smiled fondly at the memory of the old man. He was the first to believe in him, the first to give Naruto hope…his grandfather, as he called him fondly.
And next to him…the Yondaime Hokage…Naruto's father; Naruto sighed and kicked the ground slightly, staring up at the giant face of his father.
"…Father…" He said softly, the name sounding foreign on his tongue; He sighed and closed his eyes.
"…I guess you're probably wondering what I'm doing…huh?" He smiled and chuckled, "I just needed to…well, you probably already know…I needed to talk to you…" He stopped and closed his eyes.
In Naruto's mind this was almost like some dream. And if he started to actually see his father, he'd really start to be worried. He sighed and looked up. Naruto finally realized what was bothering him even since Kakashi told him. Naruto was NOTHING compared to his father…Naruto wasn't even a chunin yet.
"I'm…probably not the ideal legacy huh?" Naruto asked the large carving. He looked over to Tsunade's face and chuckled, "she's even called me a good off at times…" He smiled and crossed his arms, locking his eyes with the eyes of the giant face.
Naruto knew he had to do something…something to make live up to his father. He smiled, thinking about the Jutsu he was creating, thanks to his father's own creation of the Rasengan.
"I promise, I'm gonna live up to your name…I'm gonna be the best I can be" He grinned to himself as music began to play in the background. Naruto looked up, a tune filling him as he began to sing to himself.
"Proud of your boy, I'll make you proud of your boy; believe me bad as I've been dad you're in for a pleasant surprise. I've wasted time, I've wasted me…So say I'm slow for my age a late bloomer ok, I agree!"
Naruto sighed as he continued, "That I've been one rotten kid…some son, some pride and some joy…but I'll get over these louse it up, mess it up, screwing up times! You see dad now comes the better part, someone's gonna make good, cross his stupid heart! Make good and finally make you…proud of your boy!"
A slight noise to his left alerted Naruto to look over, but he couldn't find anyone there. He sighed and looked back up to the face before he sat down, the rain beginning to pick up slightly. He closed his eyes, remembering everything that had happened to him when he was younger.
"Tell me that I've been a louse and a loafer, you won't get a fight from me, and, say I'm a old brick, a goof off, no good, but that couldn't be all that I am. Water flows under the bridge, let it pass, let it go! There's no good reason that you should believe me not yet, I know but!"
Naruto stood and began to tear up slightly. To his left, unknown to him, a certain blond female Hokage watched and listened.
"Some day and soon, I'll make you proud of your boy! Though I can't make myself taller, or smarter, or handsome, or wise!" Naruto choked back a couple tears as he looked up, "I'll do my best, what else can I do? Hell, I wasn't born perfect like mom or you…Dad I will try to…Try hard to make you…Proud of your Boy…" As Naruto held out the last note he began to let some of the tears fall. Behind him, a saddened Tsunade walked towards him and placed a hand on his shoulder.
Naruto turned and quickly attempted to dry his tears on his wet sleeve. Tsunade smiled sadly and pulled him into a hug.
"I'm sure he's proud Naruto…There's not doubt it my mind…" Naruto let the tears fall as he heard that, hugging Tsunade back as he smiled…at least now, he knew where he came from…
And he would make him proud…Naruto was sure of that.
Act 1 : Scene 2
The dark haired youth turned in his unrest. Dreams were plaguing in subconscious as he turned once more in his sleep. The Uchiha grumbled incoherently in his sleep.
"…Naru…to…" He mumbled as he reached out, "Sa…kura…" Inside Sasuke's dream, he, though it was him as a child, was running down a long, dark road. In front of him were Naruto and Sakura, walking hand in hand down the road.
"I'm sorry Sasuke" the dream Naruto stated, looking back only slightly,"But we just don't have anymore use for you…"
"You understand Sasuke…After all…" dream Sakura said as she turned, and evil glint in her eyes, "You said yourself that our bonds were nothing but foolish pastimes…"
"I was a fool!" Sasuke shouted, still running after them, "Please! Come back!" The dream Naruto and Sakura disappeared as Sasuke fell to the ground. Sasuke let a few tears fall as he slowly became older to the age he was now.
"I pushed them away…this is what I deserve…" He said softly as he closed his eyes. As he did two, dark red eyes appeared before him…they seemed to be spinning. Sasuke opened his eyes quickly, realizing them as the Sharingan. He gripped his head as he fell to the ground, trying to rid his mind of the images. Softly, Sasuke began to sing to himself, trying to keep himself sane…
"Lost in the darkness, silence surrounds you. Once there was morning, now endless night. I will find the answer. I'll never desert you - I promise you this - Till the day that I…"
The dream Sasuke suddenly opened his eyes as he heard a voice laughing behind him. He turned to be looking face to face with his brother…Itachi. Sasuke stood and took a few steps back.
"No…No…" Sasuke said shaking his head. Dream Itachi smiled as he took a few steps forward.
"Did you really think, that I would ever let you go…Do you think, I'll ever set you free!? If you do, I'm sad to say it simply isn't so…You will never get away from me…"
Sasuke stood and began to yell/sing, wanting the dream Itachi to leave him.
"All that you are is a face in the mirror, I close my eyes and you disappear!" Itachi disappeared and reappeared behind him.
"I'm what you face when you face in the mirror, long as you live I will still be here…"
Sasuke growled softly and shouted again, turning and taking steps back, "All that you are is the end of a nightmare! All that you are is a dying scream! I swear to you I will end your demon dream!"
Itachi chuckled to himself as he began to walk forward, "This is not a dream brother…and it will never end" Itachi smiled sadistically as he stopped walking, reaching out to his little brother, "This one is the nightmare that goes on!" He laughed lightly, "I am here to stay, no mater what you may pretend! And I'll flourish, long after your gone!"
Sasuke began to grow stronger as he took a few steps forward, walking towards Itachi, who began to take steps back as Sasuke walked forward.
"Soon you will die, and it'll be I who has killed you! You cannot chose but to lose control!" Itachi smiled as he took a reached out towards Sasuke, blood red chakra reaching out towards him
"You can't destroy me! I live deep inside you! Each day you'll feel me devour your soul!"
Sasuke stopped walking and reached out as well, trying to change the flow of his brother's blood red chakra with his own dark blue.
"I don't need you to survive like you need me; I'll become free while you dance with death! …And I'll rejoice when you breathe you final breath!"
Itachi began to laugh as his chakra began to grow exponentially, engulfing Sasuke's and Sasuke himself in its blood red glow.
"I'll live inside you forever!"
Sasuke shook his head feverishly, "No!"
"With Satan himself by my side!"
"No!!!"
"And I know that now and forever, they'll never be able to differentiate you and I!"
Sasuke let out a loud roar as his chakra began to flow forth, pushing back Itachi's chakra. Itachi grunted as he tried to push back with his own chakra, but still grinning sadistically the whole time.
"Can't you see it's over now!? It's time to die!"
"No not I, only you!"
Sasuke smirked lightly and glared forward, "If I die, you'll die too!"
"You'll see your worse fears come true!"
"Itachi! Set me free!"
"Though I die, you'll become me!"
"No!" Sasuke pushed harder, the chakra beginning to take over Itachi, "Don't you see - !" Itachi cut him off.
"I am you, and you are me!" Sasuke pushed forward harder, enveloping Itachi with his chakra.
"…No…Never!"
"Yes, forever!"
"God damn you brother!" Sasuke shouted, "Take all your evil deeds and rot in hell!" Sasuke shouted; causing Itachi to disappear inside Sasuke's chakra, but not before Itachi gave one final warning.
"I'll see you there…brother…"
"Never!" as Sasuke held out the last note he awoke as the song ended. Sasuke, not sitting up in bed gasped in large breaths as he looked around the room.
"…A dream…?" He questioned softly as he looked at his hands, "Brother…what the hell did you do to me?" He asked as he closed his eyes, laying backwards…exhaustion creeping in more than his confusion.
