Random Guy- So, as some of you might know, I am not Kishimoto, so I do not own Naruto nor any of the characters.

Naruto- You bet he doesn't! Now read of my glory!

Random Guy- But it isn't even about you!

Naruto- *Sulks in a corner* Will I still become Hokage?

Random Guy- You bet. Now, let the story begin!


As a blizzard fell hard, a group of four ninjas trudged through the snow. One ninja with white hair sighed in relief as a huge building became visible despite the terrible storm, signaling how close it was. "Finally, I thought we would never get there. Carrying these two massive swords around gets really tiring, ya know?" He groaned.

A red-haired woman, the only woman in the group, smacked him hard. "Suigetsu, do you always have to complain about everything?!"

"Karin, do you always have to be such a bitch?" Suigetsu retorted, mimicking her tone with a grin. Karin glared at him as she pulled back her fist, but someone grabbed her arm before she could hit him.

"That's enough. We should be quiet now." Jugo said in his usual calm voice.

"You think they'll hear is through this?!" Suigetsu grumbled, pointing up at the snow storm.

"Enough. We're here." Sasuke said, staring straight ahead at a pair if huge metal doors. Sasuke pulled his fist back and punched one of the doors hard enough to make it rattle.

"That's one way to do it..." Suigetsu sighed, clearly disappointed.

"Aw, the poor idiot can't chop down the door. What a tragedy!" Karin snickered.

Jugo shook his head at their bickering and turned towards Sasuke. "Are you sure about this? If even one thing goes wrong, you'll be killed. These people aren't known for their patience." He said with rare worry evident in his voice.

Sasuke took a deep breath as the doors began to open. "It's a bit late to back down. And they have such a warm welcome ready for us, how could we run away?" He muttered dryly as the samurai surrounded them.


"I will say this once again, the Hokage is the only one suitable to lead our alliance." Mifune reasserted firmly.

"I still do not see why!" The Raikage roared furiously, created another hole in the table as he slammed his fist down again. All the guards jumped out again and stood next to their Kages.

The Tsuchikage nodded. "For once, I agree. I understand why the Raikage and I cannot, but Danzo is known for his tricks behind the shadows. Meanwhile, the Mizukage has been working diligently, trying to build trust between villages. She is much more worthy to lead this alliance than Danzo."

"If I may add on." Gaara said, hust barely loud enough to gain their attention. "I agree with the two. Your main reason for mistrusting the Mizukage is her village, so let me ask you this: do you feel confident putting such a weakened village at the top? Konoha is still in ruins from Pein's attack."

"It does not matter what Lord Mifune thinks. The other ninja will never trust Kirigakure." Danzo stepped in quickly.

"I...understand that quite well." Mei admitted. "In that case, however, I would like to elect Lord Mifune as General. As a neutral country, none of our villages have grudges against the Land of Iron. Their reputation is respectable, and their military is fearsome. I see no reason not to let you lead."

A nodded and sat back. "If there's one man I respect here, it is Lord Mifune. I have no objection." He declared. Three of the other Kages(guess which one didn't) nodded in agreement.

"I refuse. The ninja will not like samurai coming in and ordering them around. No, it must be a ninja. Lord Danzo is known for his tricks, true. But isn't that exactly what we need in a war?" Mifune reminded them. There was no reaction minus a smirk from Danzo. "Then, with no objections, I hereby appoint the Hokage as lea..."

Before he could finish, they could hear a knock on the door. "Lord Mifune! We bring urgent news that must be heard now!" Someone exclaimed behind the door.

"Come in." Mifune replied angrily. As they came in, they met a fierce glare from Danzo and him. "What has made you interrupt this meeting? I was about to appoint the General."

The two samurai bowed with shame. "We apologize, but we have captured a group named Taka. Their leader, Sasuke Uchiha, demands an immediate meeting with the Kages. He claims to have valuable information on Akatsuki."

"Did you say Uchiha?!" A growled dangerously, standing up slowly.

Gaara sat up straight and took a deep breath. "I think we should see him now. Something about this isn't right. Why would four members of Akatsuki come here and submit without a fight?"

Mifune thought for a bit, then looked at Okisuke. "Go with them and just bring Sasuke Uchiha. Blindfold him and disarm his friends as well." Okisuke nodded and went with them.

The air was tense as they all waited in silence. Soon, however, they returned with a blindfolded man between the samurai. His feet were cuffed together, and his hands were tightly together behind him. The samurai forced him to kneel in the center. There was a collar on his neck with four chains that they attached to the floor. Finally, they stood at his side, blades out and at his neck. "I don't think it's necessary to say, but since you are blindfolded, I'll say it anyways. Make one false move and you will be killed." Okisuke threatened in a dark tone.

Sasuke cracked his neck uncomfortably. "Nice to meet you too. There's no chance you'll take off the collar, is there?" He asked, smiling dryly.

"Don't push your luck!" A shouted, clenching his fist. "Be glad I'm not pummeling you to the ground now."

Sasuke raised an eyebrow. "Thank you, I suppose."

"We hear you have info for us?" Danzo interjected. "Speak now, before the Raikage loses his patience."

Sasuke shook his head. "So you assumed I would tell you for free? I didn't expect Danzo Shimura to be so innocent."

"You don't really have much of a choice, do you, Uchiha boy?" Oonoki reminded him. "The Hokage is right. Either you speak, or the Raikage will kill you."

"Sasuke, please. If you tell them, I can guarantee your safety for today." Gaara offered hopefully.

Sasuke could tell most of them were smirking. It honestly took a lot of effort to hide his grin. "And what if I told you I did have a choice?"

Mei raised an eyebrow. "Really? Then please, explain it to us. Just because you're handsome doesn't mean we'll spare you."

"Whether I tell you or not, I will die sooner or later, now that you've made me an international criminal. Meaning I could care less. However, the info I have is something you cannot pass up. Rather, you don't have any other source than me. As the leader, I know more than they do. And at this point, can you really pass up any extra info?" He asked cockily, practically hearing their faces drop.

After a moment of stunned silence, Mifune cleared his throat. "S-so what is it you want?" He asked carefully.

Sasuke finally grinned. "Now we're down to business. Here's my offer. As an appetizer, I want Danzo to answer a question of mine."

"A simple request. It will be granted." Danzo decided.

Sasuke nodded, then calmed his nerves before continuing. "Then, as the main course, I want not just removal of our criminal record, but immunity for my group and myself."

The room immediately burst into chaos, especially from the guards. The loudest, however, was obviously A. "You DARE ask that of us after what you've done to my brother?!" He roared, almost at his breaking point.

"It is impossible." Danzo agreed, glaring at the Uchiha.

"Rather, we refuse to grant it." Oonoki added, mentally laughing at the boy's idiotic bravery.

Gaara held up his hands. "Ask for something reasonable, Sasuke." He said, sounding disappointed.

Sasuke rolled his eyes, though of course they couldn't see that. "In return," he continued as if nothing happened," I will tell you the true leader of Akatsuki and his plans, as well as their current activities."

Just as quickly as it came, the chaos left quickly as the room went dead quiet. They had been expecting a gold mine, but this was like finding a cafe filled with diamonds. "You'll tell us...everything?" Mei asked, clearly shocked.

"Everything there is to know. I'll even answer questions." Sasuke added. "That's my offer. Tell me, can you afford to resist such an offer?"

"We...accept." The Tsuchikage decided. The rest stayed silent.

"Thank you. Then, I'll start with my question to Danzo. Are you ready?" Sasuke asked, smiling proudly. It had all went according to plan.

Danzo huffed tiredly. "Get it over with, brat." He growled.

Sasuke could only wish he could see his face. "For a long time, I thought Itachi turned on my clan and killed them. I lived only to kill him. But recently, I've heard different rumors. Would you care to humor me?"

"Hurry up, Uchiha. We will not wait long." Danzo growled impatiently.

"Many years ago, during the First Shinobi War, two clans stood above all others in power. These two clans were the Senju clan, led by Hashirama Senju and the Uchiha clan, led by Madara Uchiha. These two were close friends. Their clans grew tired of fighting, so the leaders decided to form an alliance. This alliance created Konoha."

As he stopped to take a breath, the Tsuchikage interrupted him. "Most Kages have been informed of this. It is necessary to learn the history of all major villages, after all. Get on with it."

Sasuke gave another dry smile. "I have to give the background. Please wait for a bit more." He said. With no objections, he continued. "The clans were supposed to have equal power, but that was far from the truth. From the moment Hashirama became the First Hokage, the Uchiha began losing power. It got worse after the Kyuubi's attack on Konoha. People blamed the Uchiha due to our ability to control the Kyuubi. My clan was shoved into a corner of the village.

"Can you imagine the anger they felt, losing so much power? Furious, they planned a coup d'état. They needed a spy, obviously, to gather information. And who would be better than an Anbu captain? My brother was chosen as the spy." If the room was quiet before, now it was dead silent. Sasuke could almost hear his heartbeat. "Itachi, however, loved peace too much. He told the village elders in hopes they would reach a peaceful conclusion. The Third Hokage tried his best, but before he could succeed, Itachi murdered our clan. Now here's my question, Danzo. Did you force my brother to kill my clan, threatening to kill me as well if he refused?"

After a long silence that felt like hours to Sasuke, Danzo spoke. "To tell you all of this...I never expected Itachi to be such trash. But just like his clan and little brother, even he became a traitor."

Sasuke almost killed him right then and there, but held back. "I'll...take that as a yes." He said darkly. "Know this, however. I was not told by Itachi, but by Akatsuki. He remained loyal until the end."

Danzo shrugged. "It doesn't matter anymore. Tell us about Akatsuki, or I'll execute you myself."

Gaara, A, and Mei looked like they were about to snap at Danzo, and even Oonoki clenched his fist. "The Hokage...is right. We must move on." Mifune said, sounding apologetic.

Sasuke nodded reluctantly and calmed himself. "Akatsuki's plan is called the Eye of the Moon plan." He began. He explained everything about the Jyuubi, the Sage of the Six Paths, and Madara, along with Infinite Tsukuyomi. By the time he was finished, everyone was clearly shocked(though Sasuke couldn't see that).

"This is insane! He wants to become the next Sage of the Six Paths? What if he can't control it?!" Mei exclaimed.

"You cannot underestimate Madara's power. I can guarantee he, out of all people, will succeed." Oonoki promised in a shaky voice.

A completely destroyed his part of the table now. "Even while knowing this, YOU STILL GAVE THEM MY BROTHER?!" He roared, about to lunge at Sasuke.

"Your brother? I never captured him." Sasuke admitted.

"You never...wait, what?" A asked, suddenly confused.

"If I remember right, he said he was off to learn...enka rap?"

"Enka...that idiot!" The Raikage groaned, knowing where he was. "I'll give him an Iron Claw when I find him!"

Mifune held his hands up. "You have told us a great deal, Sasuke. However, we will not grant you your immunity."

Danzo stood up quickly. "I agree. He is a traitor who left the Leaf and refused to come back. I want him in jail." He declared.

"Is that really something a fellow criminal should be saying?" Sasuke asked, drawing all the attention back to himself. "After all, isn't manipulating Lord Mifune a serious offense?"

"What do you mean?" Mifune asked, somehow calm.

"The Uchiha is right." Ao said behind Mei, finally getting a chance to speak up. "Long ago, I received this Byakugan from a Hyuuga. I remember one chakra signature more than any other. That was Shusui Uchiha. I see that same signature under his bandages!"

"Shusui was known for his genjutsu. He could manipulate people with ease. That's what he was doing with Lord Mifune. Why else would such an honorable man lie to me?" Sasuke reminded them.

The Kages all turned towards the Hokage. "Is this true, Lord Danzo?" Gaara asked as his sand rose up behind him.

Danzo looked around at the furious Kages and Mifune, who had just broke free of the genjutsu. "Damn you, Uchiha brat. I should have killed you years ago!" He shouted as he lunged at him.

In a flash, the Raikage punched him into Gaara's sand, which enveloped him. "Danzo Shimura, you are hereby under arrest." Mifune declared coldly. "Bind him and take him away." He told Okisuke. The samurai around Sasuke freed him and put the chains on Danzo.

"I will remember this, brat." Danzo growled as they lead him away him away.

"Old man, who knows how long you have to live. Can't you at least die in peace?" Sasuke groaned as he took his blindfold off.

"Thank you, Sasuke." Gaara said, suddenly bowing. "And...I'm sorry for not trusting you." He apologized. The other people in the room followed suit.

"Oh, it's alright. Just spread the word that we have immunity and the bounty is gone, all right?" Sasuke said, smiling dryly. "And tell Naruto to train instead of searching for me. I don't want to fight alongside a weakling."

Gaara's eyes twinkled as he sat down. "I'll give him your message, word for word." He reassured.

"In that case, I'll see you all in the battlefield." Sasuke said before bursting into flames. They heard screams from the floor before, signaling that his teammates had done the same.

"The Uchiha, huh...am I the only one who didn't like how he planned everything so perfectly." Oonoki asked, looking up at the others.

The other Kages and guards shook their head. "Learning Akatsuki's plans, allowing the Hachibi to survive and escape to a safe location, gaining immunity, and extracting his revenge on Danzo after confirming the truth." Mei sighed. "We'll have to hope he really is just a spy, like he said. Though now his cover is blown. If he's against us, it may cause quite a lot of trouble."


A Random Note

If you haven't noticed by now, this story is Sasuke-centric. Why? One, because I can do what I want in this story, and two, I'm not the only one who feels like Kishimoto screwed Sasuke up big time. There are things I don't know how to incorporate into the story, but I think since you know what Sasuke is like in the anime, you should already know what he's like in this story. So, main differences between canon Sasuke and this Sasuke. This Sasuke already has the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, and knows how to use both his powers and Itachi's(including his Tsukuyomi). He also inherited the two weapons Itachi's Susano'o had, along with Shusui's eye(limit of one use per day).

I always thought it was strange that Sasuke, despite his Sharingan and Orochimaru's extensive research on jutsus(the easiest jutsus to gather is probably the Five Elements, after all), knew so few jutsus. So in this story, he knows almost all Fire and Lightening Jutsus including the Lightening Armor. He has the White Sage Mode and Curse Mark, allowing him to use Sage Mode easily and without a time limit. Obviously, he's not insane.

Finally, the small details. I would draw this, but I can't draw for my life so...yeah...Sasuke is 18 and about 6' 1". Naruto will be just one inch shorter than him. If anyone watches One Piece, then Sasuke is wearing a blue version of Zoro's post-timeskip outfit, with an Uchiha symbol on the back. Yes, he's slightly muscular(like Zoro pre-timeskip). His hair is like it was when he fought Itachi. And his blade is like Zoro's blade Shusui.

P.S.- I'm a big fan of Zoro.
