A/N: Hey you guys, I'm kinda stuck on what I actually want to do. I just turned seventeen and studying for last year as a high schooler is my top priority. I've been thinking about this story for a long time so I should be able to devote enough time to keep you guys in on this story. As for the other stories I have, I will try my best to update them as well. Well I hope you enjoy this one.

This story will seem to not be explained fully in the first chapter. Their will be flashbacks that connect to the story so please be patient with me.

The rain continued to pour down on the hidden leaf village. Today was suppose to be the dark day that the Uchiha clan will be destroyed. Unfortunately things didn't go as planned...

"Lord Hokage, this is not good. Itachi should not have refused his mission. He is putting us all in danger!" exclaimed one of the council members.

"We cannot blame him for refusing. After all, how would we feel if we had to kill everyone in our lives. If he does not wish to do it, then so be it." replied the third Hokage.

"Shall i send for a new Jonin candidate to carry out the task, Lord Hokage?" asked one of the shinobi standing guard at the door.

"Itachi Uchiha is true to this village. He has carried out every order and has succedded in every mission he has been sent on. If he refused his orders, he must have a reason. I am going to see how this plays out for the time being and i recommend it to the council as well. I do not require another shinobi to carry out this mission." announced the Hokage.

"All in favor, say I." suggested one of the council members. One by one, each council member stood up and gave their vote, to put their trust, in Itachi Uchiha.

- One week ago -

"Hey big brother, I'm going to graduate from the academy this year, I can feel it! The graduating test should be coming up anytime now!" shouted the boy known as Sasuke Uchiha. He was a lively boy who loved his family dearly. His biggest dream was to become as great as his big brother, Itachi Uchiha. After all, he was regarded as one of Konoha's best shinobi. Yes, Sasuke was a boy that wanted to carry the Uchiha clan name even higher than it already was.

His brother smiled at him, "I sure hope so," he said as he knelt down and ruffled his hair. "Are you sure this is what you want?" he asked.

"Of course! I want to make our clan even more famous among the village!" Sasuke's lively expression slowly started to fade, "I just hope I can be as good as you one day..." he said, each word sounding sadder than the next.

Itachi frowned at this, he raised his other hand and poked Sasuke on the forehead.

"Ow, why do you always do that big brother?" Sasuke whined as he rubbed his forehead.

Itachi chuckled, "Just do your best Sasuke, and one day, I believe you will be one of the Uchiha's best." he stated with confidence.

And that brings us to today. Sasuke Uchiha walking to the academy from the Uchiha compound. 'Just you wait big brother, I will become great just like you!' he thought hopefully. As Sasuke continued down the street he saw a familiar person. He was wearing his usual attire, consisting of black slacks with loose jacket over a burnt orange shirt. Of course, he also had the Uzumaki clan symbol on his back. 'I wonder, where is the rest of his clan? I never really thought about it... He always seemed weird...' Sasuke thought as he continued walking, a small distance between him and the Uzumaki.

"What is it..." asked the boy.

Sasuke jumped and scratched the back of his head, 'Man, he still is pretty creepy.' "Umm, it's nothing Naruto. But, why do you always wear black?"

"I have my reasons." he said calmly, not glancing back at Sasuke once. In fact, he started to walk a little faster.

"Hey wait. Why don't you talk to the rest of the class? Everyone seems interested in well, who you are." Sasuke said rather bluntly.

At this Naruto glanced back, "Does it matter? Our role in the academy is not to socialize, it's to prepare ourselves to become Genin. That is what I'm focused on, I have no reason to 'Socialize' so I avoid it. Does that answer your question?"

Sasuke didn't like his eyes. Something was out of place, no one has that cold look. What the hell happened to him that he would turn out like this? "Well?" Naruto pressed.

"Oh, umm, yeah I get it." Sasuke said, Naruto just turned back and continued toward the academy.

"Hey wait up! Can't we talk somemore?" Sasuke shouted as he began to run toward Naruto. He could have swore he heard Naruto mutter something, but, he did wave his hand and continue walking. When Sasuke caught up he started to talk about normal things. What's his favorite things to do, his favorite ninja in history... you get the idea. But he was just answered in a emotionless tone with simple obvious answers that any person could give. Although Sasuke really didn't like his attitude, he still wanted to know the guy. After all, they've been in the same class for almost a year now.

"Hey, what age did you join the academy?" Sasuke asked and barely noticed Naruto tense up.

"Eleven." he said as he relaxed back into his normal 'Cool' posture.

"Wow, so do you think you can graduate the academy after only one year?"

"Sure."

"I've been in the academy for four years, did you practice before you entered?"

"Yes."

A vein popped on Sasuke's forehead. "Can you answer with more than one word?" he asked, trying to control his anger.

"Try asking questions that require more than one word." Naruto suggested back. Now Sasuke wanted to strangle him.

'Ugh, why does he have to be such a jerk? I'm just trying to get to know him and he just won't open up.' but Sasuke did keep his anger in check... reluctantly.

"Hey you know, you've become quite popular in the class. I mean everyone is interested in you, can't you talk to them like you just talked to me?" asked the Uchiha.

"I'd prefer not to." Naruto said, 'Ugh, this kid is pretty annoying. But compared to some of those other kids, he's the best person in the world. Why did I have to be put in a class with a bunch of idiots...' thought Naruto. As Naruto and Sasuke entered the gates to the academy, Naruto tried his best to ignore the other students, especially the girl's waving at him. At least half the girl's in his class were trying to hit on him, now girl's from the other classes as well?. 'What the hell... When i first came here, they hated me. Now they all like me? I swear this village is a pain. How the hell did I get stuck in a village with a bunch of freaks?' Naruto grumbled.

"So anyway, that's when I told Shikamaru..." Sauske continued, much to Naruto's displeasure. He hadn't been paying attention at all.

'Well a stupid story is better than his annoying questions I suppose. At least I don't have to answer him...' Naruto thought, trying to find the positives for the babbling of the Uchiha next to him.

A few minutes later, Naruto found himself in his classroom seat next to the windows. 'Finally, some peace and quiet.' he thought blissfully as he closed his eyes. Right when he opened them he was staring straight into coal black eyes. He sighed, "Now what?" he whispered.

"Well I'm kind of stuck on this question, what kind of style is hand to hand combat?" asked Sasuke, even though he knew the answer, he still wanted to try to talk to Naruto some more.

Naruto didn't want to answer, lucky for him the girl sitting next to Sasuke was Sakura Haruno. She tapped on Sasuke's shoulder, "Umm Sasuke-Kun, it's Taijutsu." she said, a slight rose tint on her cheeks.

'Pathetic...' Naruto thought as he rolled his eyes and sat back lazily in his seat.

"Oh um, thanks." replied Sasuke. "Hey Naruto, I was wondering..."

"No." Naruto said, his eyes still closed.

"But you don't even know what I was going to..."

"No." he said again

Sasuke growled, now he was starting to tick him off. "Why can't you just wait 'till i fini..."

"No." Naruto said again, actually he was starting to like Sasuke's reaction. It was amusing seeing him steam.

"LET ME FINISH!" Sasuke shouted as he stood up out of his seat, cutting off Iruka from his lecture.

"Sasuke, why are you interrupting the class?" Iruka demanded.

"Iruka-sensei, I already know today's lesson." Sasuke said, never turning his glare away from the calm Naruto.

"That still doesn't give you the right to interrupt the entire class now does it?" Iruka replied.

"Iruka-sensei, instead of studying by the book on Taijutsu. Can we please learn it first hand?" Sasuke asked.

"Why?" Iruka asked.

"Because, I want to fight Naruto Uzumaki!" Sasuke stated seriously. A lot of students in the class gasped, Sakura tugged on Sasuke's shirt. She and Ino were of the very few that seemed to not fall head over heals for Naruto. Instead, she and Ino found Sasuke quite attractive. And he sure was a great fighter. But no one really knew how Naruto fought. He seemed to avoid the spars that they had weekly with Iruka sensei.

"Sasuke-Kun, you don't have to fight him." Sakura suggested.

Sasuke chuckled a bit a put on a confident smirk. "Don't worry, I want to fight him." he said.

At this Naruto slowly opened his eyes, if you were to look closely, you could see the small smile that grazed his lips.

Iruka was getting a bit bored of lecturing to his students. In fact, he kind of wanted a break. 'Yeah, one of my students suggested it. I'm not slacking off at all. In fact they will be learning ten fold by sparring with each other.' he thought happily. "Alright then, close your notebooks. We will be going out to the courtyard." Iruka stated. He never really thought about it, but he too was interested on how Naruto fought. He was ordered by the Hokage to try not to aggravate Naruto, so he just let him off on every physical exercises that the rest of the class did. As for Sasuke, he was the top of the class in every skill. 'This is going to interesting indeed...' Iruka thought.
