Unforeseen Consequences
Ch.1 The higher they stand the more they fall
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is a kind of fun how small things could have a big impacted, a person who come along or a little boost of power on the right time.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hours before
"Kakashi-sensei, I want to come along." begged a pink haired girl
"No, it's too dangerous." The older man replied
"Please, I am not hindering you, I am not a burden."
He sighed "Fine, but stay tuned."
With that both ninjas speed a way.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You already beat him. Do you want to kill him, Demon? I have trusted you, now I wish that you would just die. I hate you"
He couldn't take it anymore. Those words from her, lingering in his head and shattered everything for him; his dreams, his wish's and his life, all shattered. A single tear run down his cheek, part of it fell down on his carpet.
He stands alone inside his tiny and decayed apartment. His mind consumed slowly but continuously by his self-doubt bringing him slowly to the abyss.
'How could this happen?' He thought to himself.
Flashback
He had promised to bring him back to her and now, right here and right now.
He would fulfil his promise for hers and his sake.
His chase after Sasuke had leads him into the valley of the end. There he stood, on the giant heads of Shodai Hokage which has been graved into stone long ago marking the edge of waterfall which fell about 600 feet straight down in a small lake.
The small lakeside was surrounded from three sides by cliffs except the waterfall and an opening one the far end of the valley. There a small stream flows out of the lake and to the horizon and disappeared behind it.
'How ironic' he thought to himself. He knows the legend of this valley, the legendary battle between the Shodai Hokage and Uchida Madara; a battle to the death.
"SASUKE" He yelled to the raven haired boy who was standing on the head of his ancestor, his back towards him. Sasuke turned around to face him.
His compassion, his rival, his friend and somehow his brother, a fact that he never admit to anybody. A small part of him was glad to see Naruto, another was frightened of this power and the rationale but arrogant part of his self knows that this will lead to the inevitable … to death of his brother and his own Mangekyo Sharingan.
"I promised to bring you back…" Naruto stated "… and I will fulfil my promise even if the try cost's my own live. I will drag your sorry ass back to Konoha … and back to her." Naruto muffling the last part under his breath and with a sad look on his face.
"Hn" he replied with his usual cold and indifference. "If you think it's worth it dying, then try your luck, dobe."
"It does" 'only to make her smile' he thought. "So, Sasuke, please come back with me" Naruto begged him.
"You know, I can't. If I want to kill my brother and take my revenge on him, I have go. I have no choice" he said with a lack of interest.
"So, you don't leave me choice either. I will break your arms and legs, if I have to. I will bring you back home or die on the try." Naruto said sadly, foreseeing could what happen next.
"We will see" Sasuke spat back and with that both fell in there taijutsu stance.
Both jumped toward each other met in mid-air under them the roaring waterfall falling 600 feet straight down.
For seconds they hover above the middle of the waterfall, throw punches and kicks toward their opponent only to miss, bock, dodge or to counter them.
They would hover there forever but the gravity took his toll on them. They fall downward, in a rapid pace, along the waterfall but instead of part they fought more fiercely against one another. The fall further down fighting, punching, kicking, dodging, blocking and missing.
A second before they hit the surface of the lake they temporary parted jumping in the opposite direction. Naruto lost for a split of a second his balance as his feet made contacted with the water surface force him to turn a wheel to regain balance.
"Hn, how you think you can defeat me, an Uchiha when you're not to be able to hold your balance during a fight. Uzumaki Naruto you're pathetic." stated Sasuke showing as much disrespect for Naruto as possible. 'How dare he is only to think that he would be able do defeat me, an Uchiha?' Sasuke questioned himself.
"If you are so confidant in defeating me, Sasuke, you might not look at your clothes." mocked Naruto back with a smirk
Sasuke look down at himself and was shocked. His shirt has a few little holes each of them representing a vital point in his chest. 'How could the dobe to this and why I didn't noticed it and WHY DINT'T I HIT HIM ONCE? GOD DAMNIT!' Sasuke's inner was total enraged but on the outside staying as cold and indifferent as ever.
"Hn, I think I took you too lightly but I won't underestimate you again, Naruto" Sasuke stated indifferent. He closed his eyes for a second and focused chakra in to them. When he reopened them he revealed his two tomes Sharingan.
"We will see but I want to fight you as an equal so pleased put your forehead protector back on" Naruto said and throwing his forehead protector to him. He caught it mid-air and questioned to Naruto "Why I should to it?"
"Well … you are so self-confident that you will defeat me so see this as my last request" he answered hesitant.
"Than let's get this started" and with that Sasuke put his forehead protector back on and readied himself for the upcoming fight.
Sasuke made up this mind. Planning his strike in a blink of a second and took the initiative.
He dashed over the lake surface toward to Naruto.
He reached him and tried to punch him directly in his face, but Naruto evade his attack simply pulling his head sideways. Naruto made a back flip to avoid a kick from Sasuke and also made room for his own attack.
In the moment as Naruto feet's connected with the surface he speed up
toward Sasuke aiming with his kick to Sasuke's left leg.
Sasuke noticed this and jumped to barely avoid the kick from him only to notice that the kick was a distraction. His only thought was 'Shit' before the left fist from Naruto connected with his jaw. He flew backward. Naruto vanished only to reappear above Sasuke and kicking him into the lake.
Seconds passed by.
Nothing happened.
Then an enraged Sasuke jumped out of the lake and landed smoothly on the surface. "You will pay for this" he splat out as the third tome of his Sharingan appeared in both of his eyes.
He rushed towards Naruto. With his now fully developed Sharingan, Naruto seem to move in slow motion.
He dodged Naruto's fist and pushed his own fist in Naruto's gut that hurled Naruto backwards, letting him smack hard over the water surface.
Sasuke was over excited now he could easily track his movement guessing his attack and avoid them.
Naruto pushed himself back on his feet, he spat blood from his mouth into the quite lake looking at it at it dissipated and mixed with the water below his feet. He questioning himself a short moment if … if she worth it but he let this thought go. 'She is definitely worth it.' he yelled in is mind.
His view finally separated from the water and he gazed back toward Sasuke.
Sasuke was gazing toward Naruto; he had never let his cursed eyes go from him.
Naruto did a quick series of hand seals and yells "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu". Five grinning clones appeared behind Naruto.
Sasuke only smirk letting, this time, Naruto have the first strike.
Naruto didn't waste another second as he and his clones rushed toward Sasuke.
Sasuke stood defensively waiting for an opening and he didn't have to wait long. Two clones attack from the opposite direction. He easily dodged both fists by diving under them and slammed his own fists upward into the abdomen of both clones causing the clones to dispel.
The other three clones and the real Naruto rushed directly toward him. He too sprinted toward them jumped in the last moment over them forming in the fly by some seals and should "Katon: Hōsenka no Jutsu".
Multiply ball of fire flew toward the surprise group. Some fireballs missed their target and shot straight into the lake. The mix of fire and water caused that steam engulf the small area where the group stood.
Sasuke smirks and his smirks grew even larger as the fog vanished. There stood only one remaining Naruto, the real one. 'Bingo' thought Sasuke. He vanished out of Naruto's view and appeared behind Naruto with a kunai in his hand to slice his throat.
Blood sputtered out of the clear cut. The surprised Naruto gasped, or at least he tried. His gasped was suffocated by his own blood.
Sasuke felt him self already as winner 'Too easy' he thought.
Sudden he knew that his attempt to kill Naruto failed as the Naruto with the sliced throat disappeared in a puff of smoke a second later.
'Damn where is he?' Sasuke thought as he looked around.
Thirty seconds passed.
One minute passed. Sasuke starts to loss his patience.
"Where are you dobe?" Sasuke yelled a slightly enraged. He continued "Iwill …" he couldn't finish his sentence as four arms hold tide his legs catching him completely off guard.
He had no chances to react as a Naruto clone appeared in front of him and kicked him into the air yelling "U!".
Mid-air another clone appeared shoving his hand in his gut yelling "Zu!".
And another appeared kicking him in his back and yelled "Ma!".
At last and the real Naruto appeared in front of him and send him with a roundhouse kick into the cliff cause with the impact a large hole while yelling the finishing syllable of the Uzumaki combo "Ki!"
Sasuke was furious that he fallen right into the trap of the "dobe". The seal, that Kakashi set on him to hold the cursed mark in bay, broken because his will to withstand the cursed mark broken.
He wanted to defeat Naruto at all costs, not only for his own pride, but for the pride of the Uchiha clan.
The cursed seal spread from his neck all over his body giving him a newfound strength and the speed to protect his precious pride.
As Naruto sensed the growing chakra he ordered his clones to go into defensive position between him and the angered Uchida inside the cliff hole.
Several seconds later Sasuke jumped out of the hole in the cliff, slaughtering through the clones toward Naruto.
Instantly after he destroyed last clone he formed the hand seal for the Chidori. Lightings spark above his right palm. Finally he was close enough to strike. He jerked is right hand forward inches before his palm hits Naruto's chest he vanished from his sight.
Naruto gasped a blink of a second later an enormous pain spread throughout
his chest.
He felt that a warm liquid soak into his clothes as he felt the dizziness spreading through his body. His arms and leg went numb and the whole world seemed to slow down. Blood drips out of his mouth and he looked down on his body and seeing an arm, Sasuke's arm, stuck out of his chest.
Damn it, this is it´ he thought. He watched as the arm sunk back in his chest. He looked up in to the sky watching the clouds hoping for some kind of a miracle, it never came.
All of his power left his body he collapsed and his vision went black.
On his mind's eye he saw his whole life rolling by like a movie. The fresher the memory was the more sharper it was. Starting with blurred memories from his birth and his parents, over his childhood, to his academy days and finally to his genin day.
The movie stopped at a certain scene, happened just a few hours ago, and vanished, leaving him in the darkness of his mindscape behind.
Only hearing his own voice repeating incessantly "I'll bring him back. It's a promise of a lifetime. I'll bring him back. It's a promise of a lifetime. I'll bring hi… ". His voice faded.
Out of his cage the dark voice of the Kyuubi growl "You won't go back on your word, would you kid?" the voice became silent. "Right, I have a promise to fulfil. I can't die now" he responds into the surrounding darkness.
Out of the darkness of his cage the Kyuubi emerged in front of Naruto and growled with his demonic voice "I have to admit you're strong kit, but too weak against the accursed Uchida with his cursed seal and the Sharingan. I will lend you some of my power and you could beat the shit out of damned Uchida and drag him back to Konoha, if he wants to or not."
"Yes I will, Kyuubi so please lead me some of your strength." Naruto pleaded the Kyuubi.
"Good boy" The voice of the Kyuubi no Kitsune faded away in the darkness, inwardly he thought 'Yes, lend my power and soon we will take your revenge on Konoha, who treat my servant like trash.'
His red chakra started to illuminate the surrounding sewer. It was spectacular as a vortex of red chakra forms over Naruto's head.
He closed his eyes as a ray of red chakra shoot out the centre of the vortex down to him, engulfing him completely.
His body consumes the power and the vortex vanished leaving Naruto, eyes still closed and covered by a red aura out of the Kyuubi's chakra and with one tail, behind.
His spiky hair was wilder than before, his whisker like birthmarks on his face expanded, his fangs grew longer and also his nails changed their shape into claws.
Naruto opened his now slit-like eyes revealing, his now, red orbs. He wasn't in his mindscape anymore, he was in the valley of the end, inches away from the surface of lake inside the valley.
He needed a second to realize that his fall was stopped by chakra aura of the Kyuubi.
Moments later, the aura pushed him back on his feet.
Sasuke stood merely 10 feet behind Naruto and was stunted. He recognized this chakra signature. It was the same presence that he felt when Naruto fought Gaara.
The aura that Naruto now emitted was so evil that it sent shivers down his back.
This could mean only one thing, the same being that loaned Naruto his strength like when he fought Gaara loan him power right now.
Sasuke smirked evilly and thought 'finally it's getting interesting.'
Naruto turned around and gazed to Sasuke, staring down with his red slit eyes in the Sharingan of the younger Uchida sending an enormous killing intent out. The killer intent was so strong that it could easily make a lesser man to pass out, but him, an Uchida.
Sasuke jerks back to increase the distance between him and his best friend.
He knew he would have to put everything on one card. He activated his cursed seal, level two, and charged toward Naruto yelling "CHIDORI".
"Is that all you've got, Sasuke?" growled Naruto with a deep and dark voice and a sinister smirk on his face. Before his words were reflected by the 600 feet high stone walls of valley of the end the Kyuubi gave Naruto an extra boost of power and a second tail appeared as the demonic Naruto yelled "RASENGAN".
Both closing the distance between them, hitting the enemies strike with their own strike.
Then total silence fell as a white flash appeared filling the valley of the end completely out followed close behind by a deafening grumble.
Heaven dimmed out as dark clouds formed in the sky. A few second later the Heaven opened its lock and a heavy rain starts to fall down to the earth.
Two figures stand on the edge of the valley and looked down in the deep in awe. Both shocked about this epic battle that they watched from a save distance.
Both of their minds were intoxicated with fear by the demonic aura of the Kyuubi and the massive killer intent from the two rivals down below.
The lake below them was vanished leaving only a half blank river that slowly fills it self with the rain.
On the far end of the valley they could spot two figures standing and facing each other, one still surrounded by a red and sinister aura
The man with a mask covering his lower face and the pink haired girl looked at each other gave a single nod and disappeared from their spot.
Meanwhile on the other side of the valley Naruto was panting heavily as well as Sasuke, both facing each other, Orichimaru's cursed seal was already gone, leaving him, the avenger, with merely enough energy to stand behind.
Sasuke broke the silence "… Dobe …" he paused "… you win …".
He collapsed and fell into the mud "… bring me back home if you have too."
Naruto grinned like an idiot as he slowly walked toward his fallen friend. On the way to him the spoke "Trust me it is a pleasure for me to take you home my friend"
"No, we are no longer friends…" a spark of sadness became visible in Naruto's eyes "…we are brothers" instantly his eyes lit up as he heard these from Sasuke before the latter finally passed out.
Before Naruto could reach Sasuke to pick him up Kakashi appeared 5 feet behind him.
He speeds toward your blonde hero and tackled him down, push his arms on his back and press him down face first in the muddy ground.
Kakashi yelled at him. "Stop it Naruto"
"from all people I know, I would have never expected you to do such a shame full act." he hissed .The remains of the Kyuubi aura faded finally and Naruto transformed back.
Before he could say anything for his defence Sakura appeared next to them.
She gasps on the sight of the bloody body of her beloved Sasuke-kun lying lifeless in the mud, littered with cuts and bruises and his clothes half torn away.
This awful sight, she couldn't stand it any longer, she broken down. At first with barley hear able sobs but fast the sobs grow louder and louder until she could hold back her tears anymore.
It relieves her to let the tears fall freely to the ground.
She walked offer to the battered body of her fallen lover, kneeling down in front of him placing gently his head on her lap. She removed his forehead protector before she began to stroke his forehead affectionately while crying about his pain and hardship.
He couldn't stand it any more to see his beloved Sakura-chan in such pain.
He struggled to free himself from Kakashi's grip, but he had no power left any more. Than she ask something that took him completely off guard.
"Why?"
But before he could answer her anger and hatred bursts out.
"Why?" she repeated
"Why, WHY, WHY?" Sakura yelled out in anger.
After this sudden eruption of emotion she clamed down, but only a little bit.
"Why do you hate him so much? You already beat him to pulp. Why do you want to kill him so desperately, Demon? I have trusted you, now I wish that you would just die. I hate you" she spat out.
He wanted to say any thing but no words where able to leave his mouth.
He could only stare, aghast. Sakura hates him, after everything he had done for her.
"Sakura-ch…" After seconds that lapsed like hours, he found the confidence to speak only forthwith cut off by her.
"Shut up, monster. Don't you dare speak with me again and leave me alone"
She yelled at him in her agony.
Kakashi let him go.
If Sakura or Kakashi had looked closely to him they would have noticed the dullness in his eyes but neither of them did.
As he stood up and gazed in Kakashi's face he saw the hatred for him mirroring in the not covered eye of Kakashi.
His gaze wandered to her.
As she felt his stares on her she lifted her and looked through him with a look of pure disgust.
His eyes watered but he barely suppressed the urgent need
to cry in front of them.
He shift his head back to Kakashi only to receive the same hateful glares like before.
He did some hand signs and disappeared in a swirl of leafs leaving Kakashi, the crying Sakura, the nearly dead Uchiha on her lap and a single tear from him behind.
Unbeknown to the other audiences there were two more, well hidden. One stood on a branch of a large tree near the edge of the cliff.
'Impressive, really impressive. I never though he would posses enough power to defeat my little brother. It looks like I have to prepare for unforeseen consequences' the dark figure chuckled inwardly.
"Are you finally done?" yelled his impatient partner from the ground.
"I am done in a minute, with you" respond the figure on the branch, saying the last part too low for his partner to hear.
The man below turned his back toward him. 'Your misfortune is my luck.' he though to himself.
He channelled chakra into his feet's, took a kunai out of his pouch and ran down the trunk.
Partway he jumped off the trunk flying silent toward his unsuspected partner, aiming for his neck.
A low gargle was the last respond he heard from his ex-partner before he became silent forever.
Flashback End
He panted heavily and fell down on his knees. He wasn't aware of those two red eyes who observing him; waiting for an opportunity to strike.
The hole, as large as his fist, in his right lung ached, but his heart ached more.
The pain was caused by neither the Chidori nor any other attack that Uchiha Sasuke had could thrown against him.
In this world there was only one weapon that could inflict this kind of damage, caused that kind of pain and could shattered his heart.
Rejection! He was rejected again. From his team, from his team-mate, from
his Sensei Kakashi, but what hit him the hardest and caused the most damage
to his heart was the rejection of his lifelong love Sakura.
He felt alone, left behind from his friends, the like dead least again.
Loneliness, an emotion he nearly forgotten about since he was in Team 7 but now it was right back and the only emotion that's was left inside him.
The loneliness spreads in his mind like a disease and caused another one, hatred.
Hatred against his so called "home" Konoha, against the villagers who treat him like shit, against the villagers which looked away when he got beaten up, against Kakashi-sensei who prefers the Uchiha and last but not least Sakura who is blind for his love.
He can't stand this thought any more, Konoha disgusted him. The longer he thought about it the more it disgusted him.
And then he stood on the edge, below him the darkness and behind him the light where he came from.
He stood so many times in his life at this edge, the darkness in front of him, but every time there was someone who saved him from the darkness but not this time. This time there was no Iruka-sensei, no Ero-sennin, no Tsunade-baa-chan or any other precious to him who could stop the darkness.
No one was there to help him out of the dark, back into the light. He wanted to turn around and head backward to the light but than her words flash through his mind. "You already beat him. Do you want to kill him, Demon? I have trusted you, now I wish that you would just die. I hate you"
The ground below him shattered and he fell deeper and deeper down into the darkness.
He hit the ground and stood in front of the cage behind the bars the Kyuubi no Kitsune
He could hear the Kyuubi growling "Release me, kid. Remove this cursed
seal and let it guide you. And then we will take our revenge on pathetic wit of a village …"
The shadow smirked evilly. Finally there was the opportunity he had waited for.
Naruto reached out to grab the piece of paper with the kanji for seal
The dark figure emerged out of the shadows from behind Naruto grabbed his shoulder pushing him back to reality.
He nearly had reached the paper but he was drag back. He heard the fading growl of the Kyuubi "No, kid, stay by me…"
The Figure spoke to the fallen boy "Uzumaki Naruto, I have watched you quiet a while and have to remark that I am impressed of the talent you haveshown."
"I have an offer you can't decline."
Cliff hanger. Please R&R
