Hai Thur! I apologize to you poor people who are reading this if it ends up being well... Awful. I'm a noob, if you can't tell. This happens to be my first fan fiction. DISCLAIMER: I do not own Naruto or any of it's characters in any way. Even though that would be quite cool huh? Anyways... ENJOY!


Chapter 1: Into the Darkness


It was nightfall over the Village Hidden in the Leaves, a thin sheet of snow starting to form over the line of the village. Everything seeming perfect, but for him it was far from it. Naruto ran, faster than ever, so fast time seemed non-existent. His blonde hair was blowing in the icy wind, his bright blue eyes fixed on his sole target: Sauske Uchiha. The frustration was slowly destroying Naruto on the inside, "How can Sauske always be so much better than me? Yet how can someone so much better not appreciate it?" His thoughts flustered him, but he kept his pace straight. Yet maybe it was these same angry thoughts that kept him going to begin with. The chase had been going for what seemed like hours now. "Soon it will be sunrise," Naruto thought to himself "... Then Sauske will have completed his deed..."

*Flashback*

"Naruto, i'm going to destroy the village. Orochimaru's orders. I'm telling you this because I want YOU to escape. You have until sunrise to get out, then the village is doomed. Attempting to stop it is futile, just go Naruto." Sauske informed, with a frantic look about him.

"You can't! You know you don't want to do this, Sauske! Come with me, i'll take you to Tsunade! We will protect you!" Naruto screamed, tears welting in his eyes.

"I left on my own whim Naruto, remember that! I'll do as he says and nothing else, goodbye Naruto!" With those last words Sauske sprinted off into the woods of the Hidden Leaf.

*Flashback end*

Naruto's rage was devouring him at this point, but he knew he had to keep it together. He couldn't save Sauske with the Nine Tail's Chakra taking over. As he thought this, he noticed something peculiar. He felt a large chakra, then saw a black hole not too far away. He saw Sauske then stopped dead in his tracks. Sauske was jumping into the hole. All of his subconscious mind faded to nothing as he sprinted after him, then he took the leap into the darkness.


Not too bad I hope. It's fairly short. Please leave reviews, I'd like to know where I can improve. I think i've got a decent second chapter in mind, so expect that soon! Bye :D!
