FLASHBACK

Summary:

SasuNaru, AU.

Sasuke, an orphaned scout sent to map and chart Ontario, Canada (year 1650) meets Naruto. Naruto is a friendly Native-American/European guide. Upon seeing the simple settlements and the 'brutish ways,' he is convinced they are nothing but barbaric fools. But with new hard ships a head and new discoveries, he will have to learn to work with his guide or suffer the consequences.

Prologue

"There are few towns in our lands," Naruto commented, looking at the relatively small amount of things Sasuke had packed. Most people he had brought into the wilderness many strange and useful things on their journeys, but Sasuke had relatively little. Some map making equipment, tools, a canoe and some clothing. He straightened his pack on his back with a sigh, feeling the leather straps dig in painfully.

"Yes, but I plan to live simply." Sasuke commented, still watching the path they were following. The twigs under his feet snapped, the wind blowing his raven hair back. He stopped a moment to view the lake they were walking around, seeing a beautiful blue pool shimmering back at him. Naruto. Sasuke almost flinched, remembering the day he had met Naruto. It was more awkward than he had intended.

FLASHBACK

Sasuke traveled around the large village, memorizing as many places and strange things as he could. This world was foreign and appeared quite simple. He was thankful he learned many languages abroad; English, French and Native being a few. He listened in on the fur-traders, observed the canoe making. This information may become vital, Sasuke thought with apprehension. He watched as the cooked the fish and other meats; learned as much as he could in the week he had to spend their before the journey.

Sasuke soon found his time up was too soon, but made no complaint. He headed to the chief of the village's home. The chief's home was obvious, the beautiful statues and totem poles marking the large house entrance. There were totem poles littering around the area, the trees bordering the village seemed to loom.

SMACK.

Sasuke stumbled, having walked into something. No- someone. Dazed blue eyes looked up at him. "Watch where you're going, you bastard!"

Sasuke's eyebrows rose. This boy could speak French? So could he. "I'm sorry." He said dully, stepping around the boy's fallen form. How clumsy.

"Say it like you mean it!" The boy cried, stepping to his feet. He gave him an apprehensive glare. 'What a bastard!' Naruto thought angrily. 'You say "I'm sorry!" when you knock people over!!'

"Sorry." Again, he held no sincerity in his words. A man put his hand on the boy's shoulders.

"He said he was sorry Naruto, Leave him alone," The brown haired man sighed, the scar across his nose twitching in annoyance. His brown hair was up in a pony tail, his eyes still on Naruto.

"Ok…." Naruto said reproachfully. "I accept your apology."

Sasuke sighed and nodded, continuing to the chief's house. He was going to ask the chief for the best guide he had. He was already paid handsomely, so he had more than enough or any guide. Even though he was the sole heir to the firm and power of the Uchiha compound; he had insisted on making his own living, as any stubborn teen would.

Kakashi had taken over the firm in the mean time; but for now he would just make sure the youngest Uchiha would not do anything else to hastily. Ever since his parents died at the hands of an unknown murderer the poor boy had changed. Itachi disappeared; his family had died and all at a young age. What was a 5 year old boy to do with a firm and riches? So; Kakashi took over, over seeing most decisions and investments.

"You want our best?" The chief asked her hair in two low pony tails. Her eyes narrowed thoughtfully. "Come out, Naruto." She called, the blonde haired boy from before stepping out from the shadows. Sasuke was slightly surprised; he had known someone had come in but no so stealthily and closely. He nodded, trying to act unfazed by Naruto's actions. Sasuke gave him a haughty look, he had done better. But Sasuke had to admit, he was good.

The boy gave Sasuke an evil look. 'Looks like the adventure has already begun,' Sasuke thought dryly. 'Damn….'

"You called me, Tsunade?" Naruto asked, his eyes not leaving Sasuke's form. Naruto looked annoyed. Sasuke scowled.

"Yes. Meet your client, Sasuke Uchiha. You treat him well; he has paid us handsomely and an alliance may be formed if he is pleased with your actions. His family has power over military and law." Tsunade sighed, taking a sip of alcohol. She kicked a log into the fire. She looked at the strange European drink and smiled. 'This stuff is good.' Tsunade thought, shooing Sasuke and Naruto away.

"Be safe, Naruto and Sasuke." Tsunade waved at them, saying good bye. They were probably going to stock up and stick around the village, but Tsunade was also leaving; on a trip to form an alliance with a few other tribes, Such as those 'Hidden in the Sand.' She grimaced at the thought of not making them; if war came around it would be ugly. But then again, she had always thought of war as ugly.

Sasuke almost flinched under the glare Naruto gave him, but did not. This boy would not get the best of him, he was determined this 'Naruto' would certainly not.

END FLASHBACK

Sasuke sighed, examining the rest of the party that had come with them until they met Fort William. There were the traders, Shikamaru, Kiba, Lee and Choji which were rather rough looking. There was the businessman Neji, who ran a fur company and his cousin, the heiress Hinata of the Company. A few fiancées came along to see their husbands, who were Sakura and Ino. They were heading there for one reason or another; but the trip was only 3 days in. He would go through the charted area and after that……it was up to him, his guide and who ever else dared to venture into the wilderness with them. He re-adjusted his pack and shifted nervously as another wolf howl rang through the night.

"When do we set up camp?" Sasuke questioned, seeing the almost set.

"Soon. There is a clearing up ahead; just wait. Geez." Naruto told him, seeing the girls whine about the loads on their back. Hinata remained silent. Naruto sighed, tired of hearing the whining.

"Right." Sasuke answered, picking up the pace. He had a schedule to keep; he did not want to stay anymore time then necessary in this strange land. He slapped away a mosquito, sighing. This was going to be a long year. He pinched his nose. 'I have to get along with him, I have to get along with him, I have to get along with him…' Was the only thoughts that passed Sasuke's mind. He saw the clearing and attempted to clear his thoughts. A thought really struck him.

'I'm stuck with the bastard.'
