Disclaimer: I do not own any rights to Naruto in any way shape or form. The foundation of this fic is the first 317 chapters of Naruto, but the storyline, & plot is my own. This story will be long, so be forewarned. To insure that I will not over lay my ideas with Mr. Kishimoto's to the point where I am making a story of his manga; this will start three months after chapter 317, at Naruto's big fight with Sasuke.

Please read and review.

Chapter 1

Ouch!

Sasuke

"Chidori!"1 Yelled Sasuke as he charged Naruto, expecting Naruto to activate his Rasengan2. "Mangekyou Kazechidori!"3 Yelled Naruto in return, throwing Sasuke off as he heard the Chidori part of Naruto's attack. Their jutsus collided with the force of one hundred erupting volcanoes. "AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Screamed Sasuke as he felt every tendon in his arm snap, and every bone break. He almost blacked out from the pain. 'When did Naruto get this damned strong?' Sasuke thought to himself, 'And what jutsu was that to so completely obliterate my arm?' It was then that Sasuke realized that he was falling. He turned over in mid-air to try to land, but he saw a river rushing up to meet him, and realized that he was in the canyon half a mile from where he had been. "What in the name of god is going on here?" was Sasuke's last thought before his head collided with the other side of the canyon, making him black out completely.

"Hurry Kabuto! We can't let him die, especially not so close to when I need his body!" 'Who was that?' thought Sasuke, 'And why does he need my body? Why would anyone need my body when it hurts so badly?' "Orochimaru sir, he's regaining consciousness, should I give him some anesthetics before I go in for surgery?" asked another voice, Sasuke assumed that it was the man Kabuto, since he couldn't hear any other people in the room. "Yes, I think that best, other wise his brain might shut down completely from the pain." said the first man, Orochimaru. 'This is getting weirder and weirder.' thought Sasuke as he rolled over. He then saw the needle that Kabuto was about to stick in to him "NO!" he yelled, "Get away from me!" he tried to push himself up with his right arm, only to be met with pain that drove every thought but the pain from his head. He blacked out again.

Sasuke woke up in a white room on a very comfortable bed with white sheets, and fluffy white pillows. "Ugh...where am I?" He said out loud. "You are in our new hideout my dear Sasuke, how are you feeling?" Said a strange man that reminded Sasuke very much of a snake. "I think I've felt better, but who the hell are you?" he asked, trying his best not to sound unnerved by this mans gruesome appearance. "Now, now Sasuke, is that any way to treat your Sensei?4 You know very well who I am." said the weird snake man. "No I don't, I've never seen you before in my life." said Sasuke coolly and matter-of-factly. Hearing this put in such a way put an extremely concerned look on the snake man's face, one that Sasuke didn't think that the man was capable of. "You're positive that you have never seen my face before in your entire life?" inquired Snakey. "I couldn't forget a face that hideous." replied Sasuke calmly. "I'll let that one go for now," said Snakey "But from now on you will have to be more respectful of your master. Now I'm off to find Kabuto. Be a good puppet and stay in bed." Snakey started to walk out the door, just as he got there he turned and said "My name is Orochimaru, never call me by anything else, or I will take your body on the spot." The look Orochimaru accompanied with this statement sent shivers running though Sasuke's body, but he didn't have the slightest intentions to stick around and find out what this freak meant by "taking his body". As soon as Orochimaru left the room and closed the door Sasuke was calmly walking down the outside of the wall, using his superb chakra control. When he was on the ground he ran to the one place he knew he would be safe, Konohagakure, and to the one person he knew could protect him from this lunatic, Sarutobi, the third and most powerful of the four Hokages5, and lord of Konohagakure6.

Naruto

"Mangekyou Kazechidori!" Yelled Naruto, as he charged at Sasuke, hoping that his new ultimate jutsu would be strong enough to counter Sauske's Chidori. He could only use it three times a day, and having used the first two to kill Orochimaru and Kabuto, this was his only hope against Sasuke's Chidori, as he knew that the Rasengan wouldn't have the power necessary to K.O. Sasuke. Their jutsus collided with enough force to send Naruto flying back the way he came. He quickly made 20 Kage Bunshins7 to catch him so that he wouldn't be crushed upon impact with a rock wall. When his flying lesson was over he went back to the scene of the collision. "Holy hell!" he exclaimed "The crater is huge! It must be at least a kilometer6 across! I wonder what happened to Sasuke, I don't see any blood or body parts, and I can't sense his chakra anywhere around here, I better go find him before something nasty does, or worse, Akatsuki!" And with that he rushed of in the direction that Sasuke had been coming from. Being Naruto he forgot about the kilometer wide chasm in front of him and fell in to it. "AHHHHHHHH! SUMMONING NO JUTSU!" he yelled as he activated the jutsu and summoned Gamabunta. "Whoa! This is a huge hole! How did this get here Naruto?" asked Gamabunta as he hopped out of the hole with ease. "Sasuke and I collided with our ultimate jutsus and the result was this, I think he went flying off that way." said Naruto as he pointed the way that Sasuke had charged at him from. "Ok then, we'll go look together, seeing as I have nothing better to do at the moment." sighed Gamabunta as he hopped in the direction that Naruto had pointed.

About a minute later, as the giant frog hops, they came to a big canyon. "Do you think that he might be down there somewhere Gamabunta?" asked Naruto seriously. "I think that it is very possible. After seeing the crater that you two left when your jutsus collided, I'm surprised that you weren't killed." said Gamabunta very thoughtfully. "I guess..." was Naruto's only reply as he was searching along the river bank since Gamabunta had easily jumped to the bottom of the canyon, saying that it was one of the smallest canyons he had seen. "Uugggghhhh" someone moaned. "What was that? Or more importantly, who?" asked Naruto as he heard that. Then he saw Sasuke's limp body along the side of the river bank. "Gamabunta, I found him! Hurry he's unconscious with a serious head injury! We need to get him to Konohagakure as soon as we possibly can!"

END CHAPTER ONE

Chidori: The ultimate jutsu of Hatake Kakashi. Created by Kakashi before he was inaugurated as a Jounin6 of the Konohagakure. Kakashi taught it to Sasuke before the second round of Sasuke's Chuunin exam. The name means thousand birds, it is named this because of the sound that it makes when it is being executed. It is in essence chakra made in to lightning, held in the palm of the user, and is discharged upon contact with whatever it hits. Can cut through anything. Is nicknamed Lightning Cleaver because Kakashi once cut a lightning bolt with it.

Rasengan: The ultimate jutsu of the Fourth Hokage of Konohagakure. Its name means something along the lines of Cyclone, I'm not sure since I don't know that much Japanese. Taught to Jiraiya by the Fourth Hokage. Taught to Naruto by Jiraiya. The power of this jutsu is greater away from the user, past the point of impact.

Mangekyou Kazechidori: The ultimate jutsu of Uzamki Naruto. It is the technique that he created after three months of "Wind Nature Training". It is not the name of the actual technique, but is the one that I created for it. The name, as far as I can tell since I'm not Japanese, means Kaleidoscoping Thousand Birds of Wind. Is based on both the Rasengan and the Chidori. It hits as a fine point of spinning green air which pierces anything, much like the Chidori only with not quite the power, it then, quickly, Kaleidoscopes out to many time its normal size. Can do many times more damage than both the Chidori and the Rasengan combined, solely because of how it Kaleidoscopes. The jutsu requires 247 years of training with the "Wind" nature of chakra. Naruto achieved this by using one thousand plus Kage Bunshins every day for three months or 90 days. It sounds like the Chidori, but resembles a spiraling green, translucent lance.

Sensei: Simply put it means teacher in Japanese.

Hokage: Lord of Konohagakure. Name means fire shadow. The wisest, most respected, and generally the strongest ninja in the village of one of the Five Nations8 is given the title of Kage.

Konohagakure: The "Village Hidden in the Leaves". It is the hidden ninja village of the Fire Nation.

Kage Bunshin (no jutsu): Means Shadow Clone, or Shadow Clone Technique. A clone of the person who uses the jutsu, it is more than just and illusion of the person like a normal Bunshin, or clone, it is actually a flesh and blood replica of the user. The users Chakra9 is spread evenly between all of the Kage Bunshin. When dispelled, whether by force or by choice, the original user gains all of the knowledge, experience, and possibly damage (this is based on Kakashi's test for team 7, when all accumulated damage that had been done to the clones was transferred to Naruto) that the Kage Bunshin acquired while it was in existence, gaining experience from multiple Kage Bunshins is extremely mentally fatiguing.

Five Nations: The five biggest and most powerful of all of the ninja Nations. They are the Fire Nation, who's hidden ninja village is Konohagakure, "Village Hidden in the Leaves", the Water Nation, with Mizugakure, the "Village Hidden in the Mist", the Wind Nation, with Sunagakure, the "Village Hidden in the Sand", the Lightning Nation, with the "Village Hidden in the Clouds", and the Earth Nation with the "Village Hidden in the Stones". I could not remember the names of the Stone, & cloud villages, any help would be grateful. The lords of these nations are given the title "Kage", or Shadow, and they are the Hokage, Fire Shadow, Mizukage, Water Shadow, Kazekage, Wind Shadow, Raikage, Lightning Shadow, and the Tschuikage, Earth Shadow.
