Sasuke stood in the dark cavern, his usual cold expression plastered on his face. The room, small, wet and dimly lit by the two torches on either side of the Uchiha tablet. It was silent, and he knew that everyone was taking in what he had just said.

"Are you sure you want to do that?" Suigetsu asked Sasuke, disbelief clear in his voice.

"Yes, I do believe this is the only way." Sasuke said, confidence noticeable in his words. Although they wanted to protest their opposition of what Sasuke had suggested, they knew it was futile. When the Uchiha had set a goal he wouldn't stop until he achieved it and he wouldn't settle for anything other than what he wanted. It was one of the things that convinced them to join Hebi and stick with him through all the battles he had faced. Sasuke was a leader, one that didn't sway when he had made up his mind and although they wouldn't agree with him all of the time, somehow the raven seemed to achieve his goal in the end. Even now, with them being Team Taka, Suigetsu noted the clear determination in his voice.

"Well, Sasuke-kun what an interesting conclusion you have drawn." Orochimaru chuckled as the smirk grew on his face. "I presume you would like to hear about the details before we proceed?"

When everyone in the room had turned their attention towards the tall man, he continued. "Concerning the scroll, although I have had it in my possession for years, I haven't used it in the way you wish to, however that's not to say you can't." He clarified.

"Wai-wait, so you're going to use the scroll on Sasuke without knowing what will happen?" Suigetsu asked cautiously. "What if something happens to him and he never comes back, wait worse what if he comes back but he's not the same. I couldn't imagine a Sasuke that isn't an arrogant assho-" Suigetsu started to ramble before he was cut off by a glare from Sasuke.

"No need to worry, things wouldn't change for Sasuke-kun himself, although that doesn't mean that things won't be altered if he chooses to go through with this." Orochimaru explained.

"I've already decided, there's no need to delay this any longer." Sasuke said, irritation growing in his voice. Sasuke didn't really care what happened at this point, if the plan worked out it would save a lot of time and if it didn't work, well it couldn't be any worse than what had already happened.

"Well, shall we get started then?" Orochimaru asked and unrolled the scroll laying it on the ground of the once secret meeting place of the Uchiha's. The reason for the four of them choosing this place was simple really, they needed a place that had been untouched, a place that had been the same for years, more importantly a place that hadn't change from the time Sasuke was a child at the academy. Considering the whole village had been demolished during the Pein's invasion, the Uchiha's secret meeting place worked perfectly. Orochimaru slightly wondered if this place brought back any fond memories to the raven standing a few feet away. Sasuke had always been calm and collected when it came to his emotions, and as the older man observed the young Uchiha he noted that hadn't changed. Such a shame.

"A fair warning to you Sasuke-kun, once you have been sent back the only way you can return is if you obtain this scroll." He warned, a smirk on his face. Sasuke didn't bother to comment, opting to focus on the task at hand. "And even if you do, that doesn't mean you will be sent back to the future you remember."

"I know the risks." Sasuke said flatly. He knew what he was getting into, and after the farewell with his brother he wanted another chance. He wanted to truly understand what it mean to be a ninja for the village he had left behind, but now he was a criminal, an outlaw to the shinobi world and he had no chance in being accepted again. Or so he thought. This was his second chance to set things straight and he wouldn't let it slip through his hands.

"Well then, let's get started." Ororchimaru said and Sasuke began to perform the necessary hand signs that were written on the scroll before he bit his thumb drawing blood from it and swiping it across the scroll he was kneeling over. The last thing he saw was small flicker of one of the torches that illuminated the large stone tablet before everything went black.

Sasuke felt warm. He couldn't see anything but he could feel an overwhelming feeling of comfort. It was something he hadn't experienced in a long time.

Taking a deep breathe Sasuke slowly willed his eyes to open. He was greeted with a blinding light causing him to turn away from the window where said light was coming from. He shifted slowly in the warm bed before he froze. Bed. Window. Sun. These were all things that he definitely knew were not beside him a second ago. Did it work?

He pondered the answer as he looked around the room. The bed he was in was pushed up against one of the walls in the seemingly small apartment. From his spot on the bed he could easily see the rest of the apartment, there was a kitchen on the opposite side of the large room and it seemed to be equipped with the all the necessary appliances. He continued to survey the space and spotted a door a few meters away from where the kitchen ended, he guessed it must be the front door considering the room he was in seemed to be the whole apartment. Another door was located a few meters away from the bed he was sitting in, and he deduced that must lead to the bathroom. Stretching his arms above his head Sasuke finally looked down at what he was wearing and scowled.

He was currently sporting a light blue pajama top and matching bottom, which wasn't that hideous but he knew one thing, he would never where it. Slowly swinging his legs to the side of the bed he let them dangle over the edge. Yes, dangle. The Uchiha at this point realized the jutsu had worked to some degree. The question now was where exactly was he? Getting up from his spot on the bed Sasuke walked around the room, he noticed a small sitting area with a coach and a few scattered magazines on the small table in front of it to his left. He walked up to the door he had spotted earlier and slowly turned the doorknob, pushing the door slowly he entered what looked like a small bathroom.

The mirror that was to his left caused Sasuke to stop and stare. He looked himself over and sighed, nothing had really changed in terms of his appearance. He still looked like himself, his hair and facial feature were all the same, the only difference was that he was smaller version of his older self. He noticed that his face also seemed to be relaxed, more innocent.

Beep, Beep, Beep

He suddenly heard a loud sound coming from the bed and he exited the bathroom opting to check out what it was. Strolling back towards the bed Sasuke noticed an alarm clock and a calendar on the small table beside the bed. He pressed on the top of the clock to stop the instantaneous ringing and looked down towards the calendar.

As he read the date he froze, if it was any other day he probably would've dismissed it but today was one of the few days he remembered. The day he graduated from the academy.

Should I go? Sasuke question wondering if it really matter, but he soon realized that today was also the day he would meet his 'new team'. He couldn't help but feel a rush of emotions, happiness, anger, regret, and the list goes on. But this time was his second chance, this was his chance to set things straight. He would be the ninja he had originally though he would grow up to be, he would find out why Itachi and so many others would fight and die for this village and he wouldn't make the same mistakes he had made before.

Sasuke quickly made his bed and walked over to the dresser that was against the window next to his bed. As he pulled one of the drawers open he was greeted with a mess of clothes, he could feel his eyebrow twitch as he looked at the un-orderly state of the drawer. Did he really live here?

After a few minutes of rummaging through the mess he finally found a dark blue shirt, similar to the one he used to wear when he was younger, and a pair of black shorts. Once he was satisfied with the way he looked he glanced over at the time and realized that class was about to start, walking over to the coffee table near the couch he picked up the headband he had noticed earlier. Looking it over he tied it around his head, the material against his forehead felt oddly comfortable, but he paid it no heed as he walked over to the kitchen. For the most part the apartment was clean, he guessed that he lived alone so if somethings were messy he would be the one to clean it up. And although he was an Uchiha that didn't mean he cared to be a perfectionist all the time, although many didn't know that.

He opened the small fridge and looked inside to see it was almost empty, sighing Sasuke closed it and started to look through the cabinets and noticed mostly instant food and a few granola bars that were usually used when ninjas went on long missions. Grabbing one, he exited the apartment through the window as he realized that he would have to lock the front door if he left that way, and well he didn't know where the key was. Once on the roof just outside his window Sasuke looked around. He knew he was in Konoha, that much was obvious by now but what he wasn't expect was his apartment was in the part of the village many people didn't come too often. Although Konoha didn't experience poverty, there was an obvious division between the houses in Konoha and he could tell his place was on the lower class of the spectrum.

With the new-found information Sasuke only had more questions. As he looked up from his spot on the roof he realized he could see almost all of the village. It was like he remembered, nothing seemed to change and Sasuke let a small smile grace his face before he realized he should hurry if he wanted to on time for class. Quickly he jumped from to roof to roof until he could see the Academy.

He could see the kids rushing towards the Academy doors and decided to follow, pushing his hands into his pockets as he did so. He walked until he arrived at the classroom he had spent years in. Pulling the door open he walked in, many kids were out of their desks, talking to friends or walking about since class hadn't yet started and others were seated silently in their desk as they nervously waited for class to begin. As Sasuke walked in he noticed his old Sensei from the Academy smiling at him an as he approached the man the other began to speak.

"Wow Sasuke-kun, I'm surprised you made it on time today." Iruka chuckled, "Could it be that you're excited to see whose team you're in?" The taller man said in a teasing tone. Sasuke was slightly taken back at the carefree way his Sensei had spoken to him, although the older man had been his Academy teacher he never had a close relationship with him; but by the way Iruka was talking to him now he deemed that to be false, at least in this past.

"Hn." Sasuke responded. He could only assume that the way he acted in this past, was the same as when he had been a child in his own past, was he wrong.

"Quiet aren't you? That's a surprise." Iruka said before he placed his hand on Sasuke's head and brushed his hair affectionately. "Don't worry there's no need to be nervous, I'm sure you'll make friends with your new teammates in no time." He said before ushering Sasuke to go sit down.

The only thing Sasuke could do was nod his head and walk towards the desks in front of him. He slowly ascended the wide steps until he reached his spot. Pulling the chair back he sat down and placed his two elbows on the table, entangling his fingers together as he rested his head atop them. Looking around the classroom he noticed the familiar faces of his former comrades. Choji, Shikamaru, Kiba, Hinata as well as some students that he had known for years but hadn't bothered to talk or acknowledge them.

A small sigh of relief flooded through Sasuke as he realized that although there were a few things off, most of the things so far were exactly like his past. That is until he felt a small tap on his shoulder and turned to see who it was. As he did he froze, standing in front of him with a scowl and arms crossed over his chest was none other than Uzumaki Naruto. It took Sasuke to take in the sight of the blonde idiot but once he did he soon realized that the blonde was far from happy to see him.

"What do you think you're doing?" Naruto asked, clearly annoyed at something Sasuke had done.

"Excuse me?" Sasuke asked both angry at the fact that the blonde boy seemed to talking down at him and confused at what the other was referring to. Sasuke watched as Naruto lifted one of his hands and pointed to the seat Sasuke was sitting in, "What are you doing in my seat, dobe?"

Sasuke looked up at the scowl on the others face and realized the boy was serious.

His seat? Since when did Naruto sit here? Hadn't Sasuke been sitting here for the past couple years? Sasuke question but what really struck him was the annoyingly familiar nickname the blonde had referred to him as. Dobe. Yes, dobe. The clingy, loud-mouthed Naruto Uzumaki had just called him a dobe.

Before Sasuke could open his mouth again he heard another familiar voice coming towards the two boys. "Saasukee!" Sakura yelled as he stomped over to his desk. "What do you think you're doing in Naruto-kun's desk?" She said angrily.

Even Sakura has changed? Sasuke thought as he watched the girl fume at him. Definitely. She would never have done that to me when we were younger. He thought as he looked up at the angry expression on the pink haired girl. Before Sasuke could respond to the angry comment they were interrupted by a clap from Iruka.

"Okay students, take your seats. We're about to start." Iruka said

Sasuke decided that there was no use arguing. Now usually Sasuke wouldn't be the one to back down but as he got up from the chair and sat on the one next to it he realized that he was attracting some attention. Which was not what he wanted.

"Ssasukeee, move!" Sakura demanded once again. "I want to sit beside Naruto-kun."

Despite not wanting to attract attention, he wasn't going to sit by and let the girl treat him like this. "Does it matter Sakura?" He said coldly not bothering to look up at his former teammate. "It's not like class is going to last long anyways. We're getting out teams today."

He expected the girl to explode at him again but instead she stood there shocked at what the raven had said. Sasuke guessed the Sasuke in this universe had never talked to the girl that way before and she was too shocked to comprehend the sudden change in his personality.

"Hmph, Fine." She said crossing her arms across her chest "But don't think you'll get away with something like that. Just because you barely were able to get that headband doesn't change anything."

"Unlike Naruto-kun, who easily passed the graduation exam with flying colors" She said clasping her hands together as she looked at Naruto. Sasuke chose to ignore the earlier insult and looked over towards the blonde. The boy either hadn't heard the complement or paid it no heed as he waited for the class to start, an indifferent expression on his face.

By this point Sasuke had caught on to the change in both his former teammate's personalities and his personality in this time. Sakura was controlling and bossy when it came to him and sweet and nice when it came to Naruto. She looked at the blonde boy with a longing gaze and wanted him to notice her. Naruto, from what he could tell, was cold and distant, didn't say much and seemed to be angry from some reason. He looked at Sasuke as someone below him and he didn't seem to have much respect for him.

As for him, he lived alone, seemed to be friendly with Iruka, and his teammates treated him like they both much rather not be around him. Rubbing one of his temple Sasuke realized just what was happening. He and Naruto had switched. To clarify, the Sasuke here was the Naruto back in his universe and vice versa. How is this even possible? His thoughts as he contemplated what he was going to do. Would he really want to live in this reality?

"Okay, now let's start with the teams." He said before he started to call out the different names. Sasuke didn't bother to pay much attention for the most part.

"Team 7, Naruto Uzumaki." Iruka began and the class exploded into hush whispers. He could catch a few comments from the kids around him.

"I want be on his team, it'd be so easy."

"No, wouldn't he steel all the glory? He's beyond strong, it wouldn't be fair."

"Please quiet down class!" Iruka said before he continued. "Sakura Haruno."

As soon as the Sakura's name was called she shot up from her seat excitedly. Sasuke could hear a few disappointed sighs from a few of the girls in the class and he couldn't help but feel grateful that he didn't have to deal fangirls crowding around him this time around.

"Sasuke Uchiha." At hearing his name Sakura groaned and sat back down. "Your Jonin sensei will be Kakashi Hatake."

"Team 8, Kiba Inuzuka, Hinata Hyuuga, Shino Akamaru." He stated and Sasuke was happy that the teams didn't seem to change "Your Jonin sensei is Kurenai Yuhi."

Eventually they got to the last team Sasuke cared to listen for. "Team 10, Choji Akimichi, Ino Yamenaka, Shikamaru Nara." Iruka said " Asuma Sarutobi with be your Jonin sensei."

"Okay class that will be all. Wait in the class until your sensei arrives." Iruka said before he exited the class room.

Kakashi, huh.Sasuke thought as he recalled the many memories of the silver-haired Jonin. More importantly the last time he had seen the man, his eyes looked down as he tried to hide the small tinge of guilt that rushed through him.

"You know him?" He heard a voice demand and Sasuke looked up to see Naruto staring at him. The other boy had his elbows propped on the table, his fingers intertwined together, much like the way he had been previously sitting. It took him a few seconds to realize that the boy had heard his earlier comment, so much for thinking in his mind.

"Ah, sort of. I've just heard about him." He lied knowing that the Kakashi in this universe wasn't necessarily the one he knew.

"Hn." Naruto said before he went back to ignoring him.

Eventually the students slowly began to leave, team by team, as their Sensei's came to pick on them. As to be expected team seven was the last team left and Sasuke guessed somethings never changed when it came to Kakashi.

"Ugh, where is Kakashi- sensei?" Sakura complained.

"Hey, why don't test out how strong our new Jonin sensei really is?" Sasuke suggested. He knew that if it was his universe he would never dream of doing something this stupid, but considering that he had to repeat his past again, there was no harm in having a little fun along the way.

"What do you mean?" Sakura asked, obviously interested. He could also see the interested stare in Naruto's face as he awaited Sasuke to explain what he meant.

"Just watch." Sasuke said as he walked up to the chalkboard and grabbed one of the erasers. Walking up to the door he wedged it between the door, letting himself smile a bit as he imagined Kakashi's face when it dropped on his head for the second time.

"That would never work." Naruto stated, un-amused at the childish prank. "He's a Jonin Sensei not an idiot."

"Y-yeah, he'll never fall for that." Sakura agreed but Sasuke could tell the girl was trying her best not to laugh.

As Sakura said that they watched as a hand pulled the door open, each of them waiting to see if the prank would work. They watched as the eraser fell down and landed atop the older man's head, before it fell to the ground.

"I told you it would work." Sasuke said as he held back a laugh.

"I'm sorry, Sensei." Sakura said innocently, "I tried to stop him, but Sasuke did it on his own."

Sasuke ignored the fact that Sakura placed all the blame on him as he watched Naruto's expression. It was obvious he was not amused or impressed. The three of them watched Kakashi bend down and pick up the forgotten eraser before he placed it on a nearby desk. The man looked the same, everything from the mask to the headband protector covering one of his eyes.

"How can I put this?" Kakashi started, placing a hand on his chin." As for my first impression of you guys..."

"Well, I hate you." he bluntly stated. "Meet me on the roof, in a few minutes." The man said before he turned and exited the room, leaving the three Genin in his wake.
