DarkLvmj: Huddle in the corner, crying. "No reviews!"
Lvmj: Sighed and pat her back while reading a very large textbook. "It happens, don't worry about it.....plus its only been a few days since it was posted."
DarkLvmj: Looks up with big teary eyes. "But...but..." Sniffles.
Lvmj: Closses the book to look at her. "Almost never a first chapter gets reviews, unless they are well known I suppose."
DarkLvmj: Bounces up with a smile. "Alright then! At least twenty plus people read it!" Does a jig. "Oh, that reminds me! I need help on this. Unfamiliar with the terms like the jutsu and bloodline and stuff, so if I write it wrong, please correct me! Now, on with the story!"
Chapter Two: Secrets
The only thing Naruto could hear were the screams on pain shortly followed by an intense heat from the fire a few feet in front of him.
"S-Sasuke, what happened?" Naruto asked, slowly getting up with his hands out stretched in front of him.
Sasuke panted and covered his mouth in shock, seeing the people in front of him burning alive.
"Help! Please, help me!" one of the attackers said before his words were slurred from the melting flesh.
'How...I didn't mean to...I...it...it's their fault! They are the ones who started it!' he reasoned with himself. Lucky for him, everyone else was at the festival so there were no witnesses. 'Still...I must tell the Hokage, he would understand...right? I had to protect....'
"Naruto!" he said aloud, turning over to see Naruto now clutching to the side of a building.
"Sasuke, something's burning! We should go!" Naruto said, holding out his frail hand to the Uchiha.
Sasuke grabbed it and took off running, pulling a stumbling Naruto. "We need to get you to a hospital, Naruto! Maybe they can – Naruto, come on!" Naruto abruptly stopped when the word hospital was said.
"N-no! Sasuke, I can't, no hospitals!" Naruto begged him.
"Why not? You need help Naruto! Just let me-"
"No!" Naruto wrenched his hand away from Sasuke. "You don't understand. If those....bastards had to corner me to hurt me, just think what they will do when they strap me to a bed!"
Sasuke's eyes widened, the Sharingan still active. "You can't be serious...can you? I mean, the doctors there wouldn't hurt a child!"
"To you and everyone else they appear like that. Not to me, they only try to hurt me more when I go there!"
"I...I see," Sasuke said with a sigh, scratching his eyes a little, wondering why they were itchy. "Let me take you to my house then. That way I can at least clean up your...eyes."
He took the poor blonds hand once more and took off to his house.
"Thanks, Sasuke," Naruto said with a small smile.
"No problem, let's just get out of here as fast as we can."
A few minutes after the duo left, a certain silver haired jounin jumped down upon the seen.
"What a mess," he murmured, looking at the scorched bodies. "Such a large Katon jutsu to finish off two chunin and a few villagers."
He squatted down, lifting up his headband that covered one of his eyes. "The way the bodies are, their burns seemingly coming from low to high....the ground scorched seems like this came from a short person....this came from a kid?" the Jounin said, sounding surprised.
The Silvered haired man raised his hand signaling the ANBU that had recently came by as he lowered his headband.
Three ANBU appeared, crouching down. "Kakashi-taicho," one of them said.
Kakashi mearly closed his eye lazily and waved them off. "Come on Tenzo, I am not a captain anymore. Anyway, from what I can see..." Kakashi pointed towards the alley were blood stains were at, "....these people were hurting someone and the Katon user...." he gestured to the seen and the two set of foot prints leading away, "....took it upon himself to stop them."
The masked ANBU, Tenzo, scratched his head. "Shouldn't we go after them then?"
"No, leave them be for now. Clean up the bodies and give the report to Hokage-sama. Tell him I was the one who suggested to not go after them." All the ANBU breathed out a sigh of relief after he said that. They were not looking forward to telling the Hokage that they didn't pursue the other two.
"Poker night, Kakashi?" Tenzo asked when the half of the ANBU went to give their report while the other half started to 'clean up'.
"Sure, get Hayate and the gang ready for tomorrow, meet you then." With that the two disappeared.
Sasuke stumbled into his home, feeling fatigued. Naruto stumbled after him, going to his knees as Sasuke leaned against the wall.
'What's wrong with me? Sure, that Katon justu takes a lot out of me, but still.' He raised his head, looking into the hallway mirror a few feet away, only to suck in breath as if he saw something unexpected.
He, at first, couldn't believe what he saw. With quick steps, he walked to the mirror, hopping up on a chair to get a better look at himself.
He saw the Sharingan eyes spinning.
"I...I got them?" he said with joy. "But, how?" His mind immediately went back to the seen where he found Naruto. The hate and sorrow he felt for his friend must have triggered it finally.
The Uchiha immediately felt guilty as he deactivated them but cutting off the chakra he seemed to be moving towards his eyes unknowingly.
'Where I gained my Sharingan...Naruto lost his eyes.' He scowled at that and shook his head.
"Ahh!" a yell and crash later made Sasuke turn around, only to see a downed Naruto.
"...pfft....," Sasuke quickly tried to squash down his laugh, seeing as the Blond couldn't see where he was going.
He cleared his throat as Naruto looked in his general direction. "Let's get you cleaned up."
After many wads of bloody paper, a healing salve, and a green faced Sasuke later, Naruto had a long strip of cloth around his head, covering his eyes.
"Naruto....I have been meaning to ask you. How are you going to become a ninja?" Sasuke asked. They had been eating a quick meal at the table.
Naruto's mouth hung open at the question. "I...I don't know. But I will become a ninja Sasuke! There has to be a way!"
Sasuke nodded slightly, giving Naruto a "hn" of agreement. Naruto let out a small sigh and crossed his arms.
"Anyway, we need to keep this a secret, Sasuke. If they know I'm blind, they might band me from the academy!" Naruto said.
Sasuke frowned at that. "Just how are we going to cover your....wait, I got it! Stay here." Sasuke ran out the room and upstairs. He stopped infront of his older brother's room. His hand shakingly went to the handle.
"This is for Naruto," he mumbled aloud, pulling open the door. He quickly went to Itachi's closet, digging in it for a box.
Eventually, he wound a box titled "Obito's".
He openend it up and took out a black item. "This will do," Sasuke said to himself as he ran back to Naruto.
"Naruto, try this on," he said, giving the blond the goggles. Unlike the ones Uchiha Obito used to wear, this one was a solid black one with tinted lenses.
"Where did you get this from?" Naruto asked, slipping on goggles. They seemed a bit took big on him, but as he adjusted the strap, they closed in around him.
"They were from an uncle of mine who died a long time ago," Sasuke said. Itachi would rarely talk about him, but if he did, he would always end with, "he was one of the most unique Uchiha there were," Sasuke finished.
Naruto flashed Sasuke a smiled. "Thanks, I will treasure them always."
"Good, now, I have been thinking," Sasuke said, sitting back down on the table. "Since we have summer off, we need to get you trained so you can 'see' once more."
"Er...Sasuke? How can I see?" Naruto asked, causing Sasuke to slap his head.
"I meant to sense stuff around you so you can fight!" Sasuke yelled.
"Oh! Great idea! That way no one will know I am blind!"
"Exactly. Now, we got two months to make this happen. Tomorrow, we start training."
DarkLvmj: "Tell me what you think! I might or may not skip the training parts. If there are going to be training parts, its going to be in small humouros flashbacks. Oh, and I also still want to know what Lvmj's name stands for! Take a guess! You shall be rewar-mmhhmm!?"
Lvmj: Has a hand over DarkLvmj's mouth. "Please disregard anything you are about to see."
DarkLvmj: Starts to run. "Review Please! Now where is my bat!"
Lvmj: ".....Crap," runs in the other direction.
