Naruto POV

I hear the blood pounding through my ears. The sounds of battle were just not there. No matter what I do its just not there. I look around to see where my friends were. But nothing. Just red all over. The red was seeping into the ground, making it red clay. Searing pain erupted in my shoulder. I look and there's an arrow with a red feather in the shaft sticking out of my shoulder. As I looked it was like there was weapons and jutsus going every where. A flash of spiky brown caught my attention.

"What are you doing? Don't just stand there. They're trying to climb over the Hokage monument. Those inside are in considerable danger if they're found out. Get a move on, "he yelled.

"Yosh Iruka-sensei. Shikamaru I want you and Sai to come with me to the Hokage Monument."

As we ran across the roof tops I realized that I was probably leading my friends to their death. I knew who was helping attacking. I haven't felt that chakra signal in over four years. Uchiha Sasuke. I motioned for the other two to go to the left and right while I went straight. There was a boom before a large scaly body shot through the building I was standing on. i did a mess back flip but soon had to dodge. Again and again it came after me. But the person who was sitting on the head of the snake made my day so much worse than what it already was. There he was the person who beat me within an inch of my life.

"SASUKE!" the battle around us stopped people stared. I could feel the angry glare from him. But I ignored him. After two years of looking for him I gave up. I didn't need his bond to make my dreams come true. My friends helped me realize that. We dashed toward each other each pulling out a kunai. It was happening the same way like it did the last time. We were at it again and again only to wind up at a draw. I felt the battle draw away from us as we drew our swords. My ANBU issued one and his from Orichimaru (sp.) Clash after clash. The attacks vibrating through my weapon and up my arm. A cruel uppercut hit me in the jaw. I heard a sickening crunch. Then the foot. I didn't even see it. It came out of nowhere it seemed. It connected solidly to my face, successfully breaking my mask in to two pieces.

Footsteps came toward us. Familiar footsteps. I looked up and there they were. Waiting for Uchiha to make another move. All of my friends. Old and new.

"Never again Sasuke. I won't let you harm this village." The anger in my voice was apparent. Slowly but surely I could feel Kyuubi trying to get out. He wanted to rip the traitors' heart out. Sadly I wanted the same thing.

Normal POV

Everyone in the vicinity stared at the two shinobi. It seemed as if one was the light while the other was the darkness. The two just stood there. Staring at each other.

"This is where we end it Sasuke," Naruto said with an empty voice which sounded so strange on him.

"Agreed. Let's begin."

The two were off in a blur. All that was seen was a blue streak and an orange streak. The sounds of metal hitting metal flew off the buildings, echoing around the village. A cruel uppercut landed on Naruto's chin causing him to soar through buildings. With a semi neat back flip he was back on his feet only to begin again. It only grew serious when the two drew their swords. The sword that Naruto had earned through hard work and many bone breaking missions. The swords name was blessed wind/soul Sasuke had the sword that was just given to him to have. Sasuke's was called Dark Night. This sword was only gained through betraying Konohgakure (sp).

The two traded blows against each other, both putting chakra into the blades to make the attacks stronger. Before any one knew what was going on. They each had their trademark attacks ready after ditching the swords when no one was getting ahead. Everyone including Naruto and Sasuke knew that this was the attack that would tell who the victor was going to be. Suddenly a blinding light filled the area as the sound of chirping birds and vicious winds collided sounding like a hurricane. The very earth they were standing on shuddered and began to crack and rise into the air. The feeling of immense chakra crawled along everyone's skin. No one knew that Naruto was in three tailed form while Sasuke was in his second stage of the curse seal.

With a deafening bang the two flew away from each other, creating craters in the earth where they landed. When the dust and light cleared everyone was beyond shocked. Both Sasuke and Naruto were standing. Every one noticed that something was terribly wrong with Sasuke eyes. They were no longer had the three commas. Now they were the Mangekyo (sp). Everyone who knew about the Uchihas knew that to get the Mangeyko you had to kill your best friend. The audience looked at Naruto only to see that he was walking towards Sasuke. And vice versa.

"It seems that we both have become strong dobe."

" You no longer have the right to call me that. Only my truest friends have the right to do that. You no longer have that right. But I would have to agree." Naruto replied in an icy voice.

"Do you still have those foolish dreams of becoming Hokage? Because people who are dead last don't get that right no matter what their heritage is."

" …. I used to think that I could not become Hokage because I couldn't even bring back my best friend. But now I realize you had plenty of chances to come back. We would have welcomed you back with open arms. But now if you come back you will be put to death. We don't care if you are the last surviving Uchiha. Besides the friends I know don't kill their family without have the entire story. But now it would be a waste of my breath for me to try to explain to you why Itachi did what he did. But no. When we tried to bring you back the second time you decided that you didn't want to hear what we said."

" What the hell would you know about not having your family with you? You never lived with the guilt about being the only one to survive. If you do then find me then you little piece of shit!"

"Don't you yell at me because I do know what its like. Try living your whole life when the village you grew up in hated you upon every minute of the day. Try being beaten in the alleyways for no reason then being born and being you. But you would never know that. All that you know is the life of luxury. So you lost your family. At least you had your parents. Some one to love you, to care for you. I had nothing but hate all my life!" Naruto yelled, "I wanted your life, and all the attention you got. The only way I got attention was through all of my pranks. So you have no right to tell me what it like is. Try to have food be given to you rotten. When you try to by food they turn you away thinking that you are trying to steal their food when you try to give them the money to prove them wrong. No you have no idea what hardships are like. But when you do, knowing you, you will still try having things given to you. But hey the person wouldn't even give it a second thought."

With every word that was said to his former friend his voice slowly but steadily grew into a yell. The people in the "audience" looked away guiltily. "Try to b killed every time you step out of your house. You don't know a thing Uchiha. Try being killed over something you can't control. Try being hated for you. You just don't know what its like."

"please are you trying to get to me with that sob story. At least my story is true. I mean who would want to believe what you said. Are you still trying to get me to come back to the village because its not working."

"You go to far traitor! We were there when the demon attacked. I was even one of the ones to go after Uzumaki my self, when we found out," yelled a ninja.

"What demon? Gaara. Please you're all afraid of him. This village is week. I mean look you're even trying to escape and its so obvious."

While this was going on the crowd was indeed backing away. They saw something that the Uchiha didn't. One brave chuunin raised her arm with a look of horror and pointed to Naruto. Uchiha was so oblivious he didn't even notice the chakra spike. "We are not afraid of you. We would rather live another day unlike you. We 're not so busy we can't sense the major chakra spike. I mean what kind of ninja are you? A gennin could do better than you." With that said they all left and ran seeking the shelter in the Hokage Monument.

Sasuke turned around to look to see what they were talking about.
