Ok, Please be gentle, this is my first fic, it's really not that original and I don't have a beta reader, which means that I will probably miss many of my own grammatical mistakes.
By the way, if I owned Naruto, then I'd be very rich, but since I don't I have to put this disclaimer here, saying I don't.
-----Master of the House----- Prologue:
It was shaking again, his perfect little world, another crack had shown itself in the middle of his dream yet again, but as it had been doing more and more frequently, the cracks weren't healing. He stopped what he was doing and dismissed his fantasies and began to count the cracks, over a hundred at least, he shuddered at the meaning of this, his world was collapsing, he would soon need to give the "fabrication" a rest or it would totally collapse, leaving him to fend for himself, and he never wanted to return to the world if he could help it. He tapped into what the fabrication was experiencing, 'hmmm, a battle, with Uchiha. What has that fool done now', as he began to tap into the fabrications memories to update himself on what has happened.
Naruto was bleeding, badly, he had taken a chidori to the chest and was starting to get desperate, Sasuke on the other hand was not looking nearly as bad, a scratch here, a cut there, but for the most part unhurt. Naruto and Sasuke lunged at each other again, going back in forth in there dance of death with Naruto getting closer and closer to defeat. In a last ditch attempt Naruto tried to form a rasengan but found the pain of his wounds breaking his concentration to properly pull off the jitsu. In his lapse of focus, Sasuke jammed a kunai into Naruto's neck, causing him to fall to his knees and gasp for air as blood poured down his throat.
"You are far too weak to ever defeat me, dobe, what were you thinking trying to fight me, learn your place in the world", Sasuke said as he kicked Naruto in the face and stepped on his chest.
"I just wanted to be your friend, or at the very least, your comrade...", Naruto said in a raspy voice as he ripped the kunai from his throat.
"A friend?, a Friend!?!, why would I ever want to be friends with a poor excuse for a ninja, someone not even worth my time. You were a fool for even considering someone superior to you, a "friend".
This was bad, his reality was cracking left and right, the fabrication couldn't take the added stress of rejection from one of the few people he cared about, it was time, he had to delve back into the real world and save his physical body as well as give the fabrication some time to heal his wounds.
Sasuke noticed something immediately about Naruto, his eyes, they seemed incredibly cold, far more so then his own usual demeanor, these eyes seem to stare at him with absolute nothingness. Sasuke, returning to his senses, lowered his kunai to his once friends neck, he was going to make the killing blow, his first kill, and yet those eyes plagued him, causing yet another moment of hesitation, giving Naruto the time to slip free of his captor's grasp and disappear into the forest that he and Sasuke were now battling in.
"Come back here dobe, it will only hurt for a moment", Sasuke yelled into the sea of tree's
While, quite loathing the fact that he fact to personally interact with the real world yet again in a life threatening situation, did enjoy the feel of reality. While his dream world did provide an eternities worth of pleasure and escape, it lacked the subtle touches that the real world had, the feeling of the mist of the waterfall on his skin, the slight breeze that was passing through his hair, and the beauty that could only be created by the total randomness of nature that was the landscape, and for all of this, it made interaction worth it for the little while he would be here. From the top of the tree he was hiding in, he surveyed his surroundings, keeping tabs on Sasuke's location as he began to formulate a plan. After a few moments he created several kage bunshins and ran towards Sasuke as his clones went off in different directions.
'Damn it, where did that runt run off to', Sasuke mentally cursed. Scanning his surrounding for both visual signs as well as chakra signatures, he saw nothing. Marching forward, he saw a flash a yellow, throwing a kunai in its direction he turned to see it hit nothing, then again in his peripheral vision he saw it again, then again, throwing kunai each time, and always missing.
"Damn it!, get out here dobe and fight me, or are you to much of a coward!!", Sasuke screamed
"For a ninja, you are awfully loud.", Naruto said as he slowly walked out from behind a tree with an impassive face.
"Finally come to die"
"Death is a luxury beyond my grasp, but please feel free to try and end my misery."
Sasuke charged at Naruto as he just stood there, doing nothing. Slowly realizing that Naruto's lack of movement was probably a trap, he began to look for sign, but he was too late as he realized that all of the sudden several items in the forest, like leaves and rocks suddenly became Naruto and jumped him, holding him still as Naruto, the one standing still, charged with speeds faster than Sasuke though Naruto could move at, threw a fist with enough force to the Uchiha's abdomen to cause him to lose consciousness. Sighing as he was quite tired from today's events he quickly jammed kunai into Sasuke's joints and muscles all over his arms and legs ensuring that even if the Uchiha heir were to regain consciousness he would be unable to move. With his work done, he wanted nothing more to do with the real world, he attempted to give control back to the fabrication, but found that he couldn't. 'Odd' he though, and proceeded to examine his own mind, finding that the fabrication was curled into a little ball, riddled with cracks and tears which appeared to be healing but incredibly slowly. He was left with one of two options, either continue to exist, or escape into his own mind and attempt to create yet another personality, similar to the first, that would take over, but that would mean leaving his body unprotected while creating said personality, so he was left with choice one. Picking up Sasuke back in the real world, he headed back to where he had left Rock Lee in hopes of joining up with his team mates and getting the hell back to Leaf, one problem, he need to successfully convince the other's that he was Naruto, or at least wasn't an imposter.
"Shit, looks like more time in hell", Naruto grumbled, "I'd leave you behind, but there's always the chance you could grow more powerful and cause my other half more problems and since I want to minimize my real world outings, I guess I have to take you back.....damn it you're heavy", Naruto continued to the unconscious Uchiha on his back as he headed to the field he left Lee in.
By the way, if I owned Naruto, then I'd be very rich, but since I don't I have to put this disclaimer here, saying I don't.
