Chapter one: Dreams and Nightmares

"Monster!"

"Demon!"

"Kill him!"

"NO I WON"T LET YOU!"

"Oba-chan behind you!"

"AHH!"

OBA-CHAN!"

"Uhgg…run Naruto! Get as far as you can!"

"Oba-chan! You can't expect me to…!"

"GO!"

"Leave the others!"

"You have to leave! He's aiming for…!"

"CHIDORI!"

"AHG!"

Tsunade looks at Sasuke's smiling face before collapsing to the ground dead.

Naruto picks up Tsunade's body. Her soulless eyes staring back at him.

"Oba-chan! Why WHY SASUKE!"

"Because dobe, I need the power. Don't worry her death wasn't all in vain. Now with the Mangekyu Sharigan I can finally kill HIM."

"Why her!"

Orochimaru-sama wanted her dead. It was the perfect opportunity for me to finally gain ultimate power!"

"HA HA HA HA! NOW ITS YOUR TURN!"

"CHIDORI"

I won't let you, YOU BASTERD! YOU"LL PAY!"

"RASANGAN!"

Both run up to each other, blasts clashing, sending them flying back in different directions. Naruto flies into a pillar hard. Sasuke gets up and walks to him another Chidori in his hand.

"Ha! You tried but now it's MY TURN!"

"CHIDORI!"

As his hand neared Naruto's chest, Naruto disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"Bunshin!"

"OVER HERE YOU BASTERD!"

Turning around Sasuke gasped. There stood Naruto red and blue chakra swirling around him. Both chakras seemed to fight each other until Naruto began to try and merge them. He had never succeeded but it seemed as if for once both chakras agreed on merging. Only one thought flew through Naruto and the fox at the moment

'KILL'

Slowly both chakras merged making a purple colored chakra to appear surrounding the young vessel. Anything that the merged chakra touched exploded. Sasuke stood looked stunned and frightened.

"How…what are you!"

Naruto lifted his head and stared at Sasuke in the eyes. Sasuke shook as slitted purple eyes stared at him. That didn't scare him, what did was that unlike other times his eyes were focused meaning that he had full control of the fox's chakra. Looking up Naruto smirked evilly before he disappeared from view. Sasuke gasps again when Naruto flashes into view in front of him backhanding him into the same pillar his kage bunshin did. Crashing through Sasuke could feel something break.

'This is insane! I can't even follow his movements with the Mange Sharigan,' thought a very frightened Sasuke as Naruto answered his question with a grin flashing into view momentarily. Picking him up Naruto throws him into the air. Sasuke gasps as he flashes into view and elbows Sasuke in the stomach sending him flying through the air until he landed none too gently in team sevens old training grounds. Sasuke feels a terrible pain in his jaw and looked around to find himself in the air again. Looking up he gulped as he saw Naruto diving down toward him spinning. To say Sasuke was surprised was the understatement of the century.

'He's using Lee's moves! If I don't do something fast I'm gonna die!'

Activating his level two curse seal, Sasuke began to hover down to the ground. A sonic boom was heard all over Konoha as Sasuke met the ground and burrowed through ten feet of gravel. Naruto landed softly on a tree branch and began to collect chakra into his Rasangan. He watched as Sasuke tried to drag himself from the hole but he wasn't succeeding. His eyes closed as he felt the Rasangan close in on him. Everything around him was ripped to pieces by the Rasangan. Hundred foot trees were ripped out of the ground by the roots from the force of swirling chakra. The Rasangan was a violet color and seemed to imitate a black hole, sucking everything into it self. Reaching Sasuke Naruto took in his scared look and his various cuts and bruises and broken everything. Just as he was about to impale Sasuke with his monster Rasangan a snake appeared and took most of the blast before disappearing in a puff of smoke. Sasuke looked relieved as he saw the monstrous spinning ball of chakra dissipate. Knowing he was safe Sasuke slipped into unconsciousness.

Naruto stood up and flipped as a rather large sword flew past his shoulder.

"Well I see you've finally tapped into all of the fox's power," came a snake like voice.

Naruto narrowed his eyes and landed in front of the legendary Sannin.

"Orochimaru!" Naruto growled as his chakra began to swirl around his angry form like a hurricane.

Orochimaru smirks before fading from Naruto's vision. He rushes at Naruto only to have his punches blocked and be sent flying through two trees from Naruto's kick to his stomach. Orochimaru staggers up, a look of surprise and shock etched on his face. He blinks and finds Naruto in his face kneeing him in his stomach and sending his form flying through the air only to meet Naruto's fist in his face. He careened head first into another tree before being kicked up back to a standing position and meeting another fist to his nose. With a crack Orochimaru knew his nose was broken.

'How can he be so fast?' thought Orochimaru as he finally dodged a fist but not by much. Orochimaru ducked again finally realizing something.

'He's only fighting on emotions! I wonder how powerful he would be if he learned some control? Hmm he would be a valuable asset to Sound in the near future maybe even more so than Sasuke.'

Orochimaru dodges again only to be punched in the back.

"Heh what's wrong Oro-chan? Can't take it anymore!" sneered Naruto as he ran full speed at a gaping Orochimaru kicking him in the ribs. Orochimaru yelled in agony as he felt his ribs crack then break.

'The only thing in my favor is my vast experience but that won't do! Maybe I should use my special jutsu on him. He has had a rather bad past, it might work. I won't let my efforts go to waste! Konoha will fall!'

Naruto rushes to Orochimaru tossing kunai at him. They were thrown with the force of a demon, so Orochimaru could only watch as half hit his left arm completely demolishing his nerves rendering his arm useless for the rest of his life. Another volley of shuriken crippled his leg forever. Naruto smirked aiming the last of his kunai at Orochimaru's head. See this Orochimaru began his seals for his jutsu while ducking his head down just missing the flying projectiles. Naruto rushed in never noticing the strange chakra covering the sanin's hand figuring he could dodge it. That was his mistake as the Sannin moved in and strikes like an angry snake

"Mind Jutsu: Apparitions of the Past!"

Naruto was bombarded by images of his past. Every little detail was relived again in seconds. The way the villagers treated him, beat him and shunned him was all relived over again down to the last detail. Naruto fell to his knees in shock as silent tears fell from his now once more blue eyes. His chakra reverted to his normal blue chakra. Orochimaru smirked as he hobbled over and picked the smaller boy up with his good arm. Naruto stood not seeing him only his past.

"Now where have I seen this before? Oh yes now I remember, the Forest of Death! You were stuck in the same situation back then as you are now. Just as annoying though considerably stronger than before. Yes you were defending your teammates and look where that got you. Both your teammates betrayed you, your village betrayed you as well as your adopted sister dead."

Naruto stopped struggling, his eyes going dead, as his spirit was finally broken into tiny little unrestorable pieces. He didn't know then but that was the day Uzumaki Naruto seized to exist.

"But don't worry that can be easily remedied with one little solution. Back then I was after your teammate Sasuke. Naruto's eyes widened in fear as he remembered that day.

"But after that fight today, my eyes opened up to reveal an even greater power than the Sharigan. I should have picked you that day, but like I said now that I have you in my grasp I can easily remedy that mistake.

"No…," croaked Naruto as he felt a rush of air and then pain radiating from his neck, he didn't need to be told or shown the mark he knew it was the famous curse seal, the same one that drove Sasuke to betray Konoha. Right then and there he promised himself that no matter what he would always stay loyal to his friends. Naruto grunted as Orochimaru dropped him to the ground.

"Welcome to the family," The Sannin sneered as he watched Naruto's attempts to get back up, laughing when he fell down.

"It's a fruitless attempt to try and get back up so soon after receiving my curse seal. Not even your teammate could do that."

"Is…that…so?" uttered Naruto as he slowly pulled himself up to a crouching stance and inch by inch painfully pulled himself up by his hands to his feet. Slowly he stood up staggering to his feet. Orochimaru watched fascinated as Naruto stood up in front of him.

"I…huff…thought…huff…that…no one…huff…could…get…get up…huff. Looks…huff…like…huff…you…huff…were wrong."

'Amazing his stamina is through the roof! He shouldn't be able to stand right after receiving my curse seal, not even Sasuke could do that! I should've chosen him instead of Sasuke. I could've had Konoha eating out of the palm of my hand a long time ago. No matter now I have both. Double the power and destructive force against Konoha.'

He stared back at the defiant boy standing before him. Orochimaru rushed at Naruto elbowing him in the temple. Naruto instantly crumbled to the ground unconscious. Orochimaru picked up the smaller boy up and walked away.

"Now Konoha will be mine Ha Ha Ha and so will you Naruto-kun Ha Ha Ha," Orochimaru cackled loudly.

Dreams, I've been having these dreams ever since Konoha's demise. They follow me everywhere I go like a guilty conscious, reminding me of my terrible past. Reminding me of my miserable life and all I have lost. All of my precious people are dead. My very existence hangs by a thin thread. I can't help but wonder what life would be like if all this never happened if Orochimaru never took over Konoha. Would Oba-chan still be alive? Would Iruka-sensei be here with me paying for my ramen and would I finally be happy? Probably not, not that I was ever truly happy anyway. I could've saved them but I was too scared. I was a coward and now I have to face the consequences of my actions. I cried in the beginning. That's all I could do then. I would cry for hours on end but now? Now I can only ask myself, what if I had done things differently, would they still be alive? Would Konoha still be my home, be there at all? They say no one can tell the future. I wish I could. I wish I could go back in time and do things differently. Maybe then Konoha would still be here, maybe then all my precious people would be alive, and everything would be like it was then, but I can't go back. All I can do now is live my life the best that I can. I have never given up on anything before, but there are times when I wish I could. When I wish I could really live in my fantasies where everything is as it was. Where Tsunade-chan and Iruka sensei are still alive but I can't do that either. So I live from day to day with one goal in mind. I've long since stopped crying. I guess I just don't have anymore tears to cry out. I don't wallow in self pity, I can't! All I can do now is pray and hope that someday I'll finally be able to smile again, to laugh, to live like I did then. For now though, I'll keep living in my nightmarish life. I can't rest until my goals and ambitions are finalized. Until Orochimaru and Sasuke are dead and Konoha is reborn. I may not become Hokage, but I'll be doomed if I let those basterds get away with ruining everyone's lives, and dreams. They will die by my hand. You can count on that…
