This is a work of my over active imagination.
Bold for non human speech and thought
The valley of the end. A monument to two great men. Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama whose battle created this valley who existences make the creation of konoha possible. If they were able to work together, konoha may have prospered even more but the difference in ideal render this impossible.
Decades after them a pair of rivals, friends and brother step into their shoe. This sacred ground is once again reformed with fissure and crater, the only witness to the match up between two is the statues of Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama.
Naruto lay on the ground as he looks upon the sky as the rain fall, the rain that fall flow off him are dyed crimson by the gaping wound at his left shoudler. The memories of the past few hours run through his mind.
The promise he made to the girl he like.
"I will bring him back. It a promise."
The comrades who trust that he will fulfill the promise
"Naruto kun, go after this guy to me. I will be his opponent."
Yet for all the effort and sacrifice the only word he receives is.
"If that the case, I will break this bonds!"
Naruto closed his eyes as he slowly pushes himself up, his hand brush against a metallic surface. He turns his attention to the item.
It is as a forehead protector and with a cut across the symbol of konoha. An unspoken mark that tell the world that it owner renounce the bonds to the village.
Naruto grabs the forehead protector tightly within his grip, so tight that his knuckle turns white.
"Sasuke, you may be willing to forsake the bonds but I will reattach the bonds if it the last thing I do."
Weary from the battle and recovering from the injuries, naruto slowly pick himself up. He looks around at the wreckage done by sasuke and him, a wave of depression strike him. He is still too weak.
He had been name a loser for all his life but this is nothing that can be achieve by a loser.
At last with a sigh he turned in the direction he believed that he had come from and started off slowly with the rain falling.
A few minutes after he had left, a man and a dog rushed into the clearing from a different direction, stopped in awe at the destruction that lay before them.
Hours later as the sun set over the horizon and the moon rule in the sky.
Naruto still wander within the forest in the rush to catch up with sasuke, he did not leave any mark to guide and with the blood losses
Tiredness creep upon naruto as the blood losses and adrenaline rush catch up upon him. He stumbled on to the ground as he rest against a boulder by the side of a ledge. His head lower as he breath in deeply trying to recover.
"Naruto-kun, you have improved much in such a short time."
A voice sounded out interrupting naruto rest, naruto raise his head to look at the speaker. Naruto's eyes widen as he look at the person.
The person is a male dress in a purple grab whose hand is pushing against the glass slipping on his nose. A harmless smile adorns his face but naruto know that this is false as the forehead protector signal his loyalty to the hated enemies of konoha. Oto, rule by orchimaru the infamous traitor of konoha.
Secondly, the last naruto seen him, naruto had been the one to 'give' him a rasengan to the body.
The man standing in front of him is kabuto, the right hand man of Orichimaru, a sleeper agent within konoha for at least ten year, a man with skill equal to kakashi and the patience of a predator.
Kabuto grab the collar of naruto jacket pulling naruto up into the air.
"You have so much potential, I am certain you will as skilled as me within ten year." Kabuto say as he step forward toward the ledge. "And because of this, I cannot let you live."
Kabuto hold naruto like a rag doll as he enquires.
"Any last word?"
"F**k you!"
"If that the case, goodbye." Kabuto reply naruto with a smile as he let go off his hand.
Naruto plunge down like a rock as he disappears from sight.
However, it seems that luck is with naruto as he falls on to a tree that grow at the side of the cliff. Naruto smile as he falls unconscious.
Naruto wake up to the glaring sunlight, he open his eyes as he take in surrounding. Desolate is the only word to describe the place but something catches his eyes.
A square pillar stone lay on a ledge; it looks to be man made. Carefully, naruto make his way to it. Naruto find the picture of dominating tiger roaring toward the sky on one side of the pillar.
A small slab of stone lay on the ground in front of it.
'Fierce as a tiger, with the power of a tiger. I am the white tiger ArakiHirofumi. Here lies the art of the white tiger. Show the world the strength of the lord of beasts!'
Naruto heart skip a beat as he seen this as he have heard this in the class of iruka sensei. During the time of rikudou sennin (founder of chakra usage), there were many other powerhouse.
The four Saint beast- Azure Dragon , Phoenix, White Tiger and Jet Tortoise.
The four Perils whose name are forgotten by the wheel of time
Each them do thing base on whim and desire but with the strength, no one can do anything to them.
Within the Nine of them, none of them was willing to get injured as that would make them easy prey for the other.
However, something change that balance, a battle broke out with the nine of the against a single opponent but against who or what, nobody know as no record were left.
With rikudou sennin left as the sole survivor, it unknown why but he begin preach his knowledge to the willing thus enabling the world to benefit. While the knowledge of the four saints and four perils were lost and their name forgotten in the stream of time.
Naruto heart pound as he approach the pillar as that is the only place that Araki Hirofumi could have written down the skill that he created and improved upon.
Naruto is not disappointed as he read on the inscription.
'The basic of the white tiger are as follow. Basic Energy skill: Domination Aura. The Basic attack skill: Feline Claw. Basic movement skill: Stalking Tiger.'
Seeing this hope rise within naruto as with this he will have a better chance to defeat sasuke and fufill his promise to sakura.
Back in Konoha
With a heavy heart Kakashi had returned to Konoha and was standing before the Hokage. He had just given the hardest report to a superior since he had to explain Obito's death to his sensei.
Two of his students gone, one a traitor the other had disappeared off the face of the earth, so it seemed. Pakkun had been able to track them until it had started raining. He had lost the scent at the apparent battlefield but where the two had gone after that was a he suspected that he knew where Sasuke had gone.
Tsunade had been stunned by the news and he knew that Sakura was going to take this hard as well.
The others on the rescue mission had all been retrieved and had been stabilized, Sakura had already been frantic, so he had heard, wanting to know whether Naruto had succeeded in bringing Sasuke back or not.
Kakashi sighed as he was dismissed and he turned and left the Hokage's office. As he stepped outside he looked up seeing the clouds starting to break up and the sun beginning to peak through and he couldn't help but to feel some hope, just enough to make him think that things could get better.
With a shake of his head he signed, the momentary spell gone. He decided that he would go see the memorial stone first before he went to tell Sakura the bad news.
While this is happening within konoha, naruto have start practicing the Domination Aura. The concept is simple. Gather chakra within the centre of the body. Naruto have done this more than a thousand as he use his justu. Gather chakra within his body and using hand sign as guide for the chakra to perform as he will it.
However, here is the different for the Domination Aura as it required the user to gather and compress the chakra. Once the chakra reach maximum mass, release the majority of the chakra through four limbs.
This process will cause great anguish as the muscle and bone are tears, broken and restored by the chakra.
Naruto grit his teeth as he sit on the ground bearing this pain as he read on the pillar. This process will strengthen his body and enable him to use Feline Claw and Stalking Tiger better.
'To be stronger than other, one must be harsh to himself first.' Naruto repeat the creed of the white tiger to himself.
"Sasuke, I will get you back to konoha even if I have to break all your limb." Naruto make a promise to himself.
