New Beginnings

Yup, a crossover. It doesn't crossover until second chapter though, enjoy!

Chapter One: Sasuke

Naruto had Sasuke slung over his shoulder, both are badly beaten. Sasuke had just killed Itachi, and Orochimaru. Sasuke had gained the Mangekyou Sharingan. As soon as Naruto had overheard the Hokage talking about a lead on Sasuke, Naruto had left for him. He had found Sasuke barely conscious, and half dead. But that's when Zetsu had appeared, apparently Zetsu had wanted to finish killing him, and eat his corpse. Naruto, of course manage to defeat him just by a little bit. The only thing that made it possible was the kyuubi healing powers.

Looking up at the Konoha Gate, Naruto dragged them both inside the village. Sakura appeared, and ran towards them. She was crying, not for Sasuke, but that Naruto had his promise fulfill, and was dying in front of her.

"Naruto!?"

"I did it, I brought him back Sakura-chan." With that, Naruto smiled, and fell to the ground.

Sakura went to immediate work on Naruto. When she looked over at Sasuke, his eyes were cracked open, and his eyes were bleeding. Then Anbu came and took over from there, carrying the two ninjas, one seemingly healing by the second, and the other with blood streaks running down his cheeks from his eyes.

Tsunade was pumping her healing chakra into Sasuke, but left enough out to keep him in a coma like state, until she could figure out what to do with him.

After placing Sasuke under the watch of Anbu, and frequent visits from Kakashi, Yamato, and sometimes Sakura the Hokage retreated to her office. Sighing at her never ending unfinished paperwork, she wondered. Should Sasuke serve time, or torture the human ice cube? No, that wouldn't solve anything. And Sasuke wouldn't mind or just break out. He may never gain Konoha's trust back, unless he turned into a completely new person. He may be too dangerous to keep here, missing nins are suppose to be killed on sight, but Sasuke was a special case.

Besides, he killed Itachi from what she got out of Naruto, and rumors said he killed the snake basturd. If the rumors were true, would they consider him a hero, after betraying the village? Will the Elders want to spare him, or kill him?

Pouring another cup of sake, Kakashi poofed in her office.

"Hokage-sama, I have a proposition to make."

"Spit it out Kakashi, I'm sure it concerns Sasuke."

"Sasuke Uchiha is now the last one and no one should have a whole family die out because of the elder brother's doing."

"Kakashi, what the Uchiha is going through, he brought upon himself."

"Yes, but he left because of his brother, and his brother was punish for his deeds of what he did to his clan, and Sasuke."

"Sasuke still betrayed the trust of this village, and sided with Orochimaru."

"Tsunade-sama, he killed Orochimaru, it is now confirmed."

"But did he get his revenge Kakashi? Is he a liability, or another good ninja for the sake of the village?"

"We all know Sasuke's next intent is to rebuild his clan, but I do not think he is ready to do so, he has to first be a part of a village and heal from whatever physical and emotional scars Itachi gave him."

"Are you implying he should be trusted with missions again Kakashi?"

"Yes, he should be not of a danger to the village if he is not in it, gain trust after a few years, and have him under the super vision of a team of no less of Jounin, and Anbu. He will not escape, and will be killed if he attempts to kill outside of the mission or escape."

Tsunade stared at Kakashi, thinking it over while giving him a hard look.

"I hope the Elders see it the way you do, Kakashi."

Kakashi seemed to do an inward sigh, "I will tell Sasuke when he wakes up of his choice."

Tsunade narrowed her eyes, "Make sure you tell him the other choice is death after jail time with the interrogation squad, and Kakashi. I will not let his wake up until a far away mission appears not involving Sound, or Sand. The lines I hold with the treaty for Sound is thin. Sand, is so much of an allied to burden with Sasuke."

"I understand."

"And Kakashi, don't tell anyone but team seven, make sure it doesn't get past them into gossip. I will hold you responsible."

"Understood Hokage-sama." Kakashi bowed, and left.

Tsunade was in deep thought, if Sasuke could change just some from being with his old team, he has a chance of being saved from death, and a life that no human should live. Team Hebi is now forever dead, Naruto reported that their dead bodies had no heart beat, and Zetsu had taken them.

And that's when it happen, the mission Team seven will receive, the piece of paper that saved Sasuke, and cause him to change. Lucky number seven was in team seven, and this team had gone through a lot, mostly bad. So, why not give number seven another chance to be good? Then she decided seven people to this mission.

An owl knocked on her window with its beak, a letter attached to its leg.

Author: Other chapters WILL be longer, this is kind of like a prologue or something of the sort.
