Like I promised earlier this week (for those of you who checked my profile) I'm updating both of my stories this week! Which means that after an eternity and a half on hiatus, it has a new chapter and is soon to be finished! *breathes a sigh of relief* I'll finally have one complete story... But this story isn't too far behind it. The climax is coming up after these filler chapters that you guys voted for.

Alright back to business.

The next few updates will be all filler chapters to explain the loose ends that some of you have been asking about in your reviews. Here's the answers to most of your questions- and if any of you still have questions- feel free to PM me if there is any other things that I might've missed in this one. To let you know so you guys won't be confused, SASUKE IS YOUNGER IN THIS ONE! This is before he even met Naruto in the academy, so I like to imagine he's around the eight-ish nine-ish area in these updates. I might skip around in the next updates, so remember to read these Authour Notices because they are important.

Another thing, there will be no yaoi in these chapters and if anything, their might be a some shounen ai if I get a good response from my awesome fans- which I already got from Drifting Memories, so let's not lose to those guys!

As a final note, thanks for the awesome support and I won't let you guys down!

Sasuke remained on his hands and knees, staring wide-eyed at the spot at which his brother had just been standing in. Often, the youngest Uchiha found himself watching his older brother train on countless occasions, but never had he seen his brother disappear into thin air- and he's seen his brother breathe fire; LITERALLY! Inching forward, rises up to a kneel and begins to examine the patch of earth that Itachi had dissapeared on cautiously, making sure that he wouldn't fall into the same predicament. However not even a moment later, Itachi appeared in the same spot which happened to be right on top of a surprised Sasuke. "Baka! What are you doing?"

"What do you mean what am I doing? You just dissapeared into thin air, so I was worried!"

Itachi frowned before kneeling a small distance away from his brother, "I was just caught up in a strong genjutsu. I didn't know that they could get that strong, but apparently so."

Sasuke nodded mechanically before tilting his head to the side, "Aren't genjutsu's those weird illusion arts we were learning in school last week."

"Yeah, but the one I was in was entirely different. This one was solid and existed in its own dimension. I'm not sure what to do with it… maybe I should tell the Hokage and find out how to destroy it…"

"Can I have it?"

Turning back to his younger brother, Itachi notices the energetic smile on the young kids face and couldn't help but nodding, "Sure kid. You'll need to learn how to use them, though. If you can't even get in then it will defeat the purpose of you-"

At that moment, Sasuke dissapeared only to pop up not even a few seconds later on the opposite side of Itachi, breathless. "Whoa! It's like a black hole! There's nothing there!"

"So do you want it?" he asked smugly, seeing the childish smile form into an Uchiha-like smirk, "Of course I do! Thanks Aniki!"

He tackled the man before disappearing again. "I have a feeling that he won't be spending much time home tonight…" he muttered before walking off.

"Hello?"

Sasuke called out into the black void that surrounded him, waiting to hear it echo back at him only to be met with silence. "Hmmnnn… Now what?"

Turning around, Sasuke notices that there was no way of telling whether or not he was moving left or right or back or forward. "Well for one… there should at least be a floor or somethi-"

As soon as the thought came to Sasuke's mind, the pitch black void of the ground was replaced by luscious grass and soon after the rest faded into a star-filled night with a bright full moon spreading light as far as the eye could see. "Oh cool…"

Sasuke turned around this time, Sakura appearing around him accented by different shrubs and smaller plants until he was within a blooming orchard. Smiling at the simplicity in which he could change the place, he decided to change the time of day and gradually the sky lightened to a light blue and the small stars stretched and widened to puffs of clouds. Glancing back at the place of the moon, Sasuke was now blinded by the blazing sun and was forced to shield eyes from the vibrant light before turning around and seeing that the flowering sakura was replaced by a village from feudal Japan like the type he had seen in some Manga. "Hmmnnn, I think I liked the sakura better-"

No sooner had he said it had the sakuras appeared again, the village disappearing instantly. Smiling to himself, he turns around and acknowledges the world around him before frowning slightly, "Wait… where is everyone?"

Almost immediately, smaller children appeared from around the cherry blossoms chasing after each other and a group of adults could be seen behind them. Although the fact that they were absent wasn't something to bother himself on, the lack of sound was what made him question the absence of everything, but the sudden crowd of people almost calmed him… until he saw their faces.

Each and every person- from the smallest child to the elders who strolled leisurely- had no face. Of course you knew there were supposed to be eyes noses and mouths, but there was just the absence of everything and the sight was enough to force Sasuke out of the genjutsu completely and into the training ground.

Staring up at the sky, Sasuke blinks slowly, becoming aware that he was on his back gazing up at the sky that was dotted with soft stars that blinked at him in laughter every now and then. 'What was that?'

The question remained unanswered, hanging in the air until Sasuke was jolted to his senses by a sudden drop of water onto his face. Sitting up, he blinks at the sky to only see the stars covered by gray clouds that slowly began to release rain drops. Rushing to his feet, the young Uchiha ran hurriedly out of the training ground to his house on the edge of the compound, trying to avoid as much rain as possible by sprinting through the rain fall to no avail for he was still soaking wet when he arrived home and sneezing the next morning when his mother frowned sternly at him across from the kitchen table, "Sasuke what were you doing out so late? And then you get caught in the rain?"

"Sorry," he mumbled before spooning another mouthful of cereal around his bowl, the remaining pieces to soggy for his liking.

"Is that all you have to say for yourself?" Fugaku grumbled, sitting down to the table training a belittling stare on his youngest son, "Why can't you take Itachi's lead? He was home before nightfall last night and even had dinner with us. You wouldn't know this because you were out all night."

Sasuke stayed away from the gazes that were staring at him in disappointment and discontent; his brother would have taken up for him, had he been there at the time, but Itachi had to go to school early for student council and was currently absent at this particular breakfast. "I understand. If you will excuse me, I should be getting ready for school now. I have an inquiry about a specific area of jutsu to ask my sensei."

Fugaku's frown deepened, but he nodded his approval. Sasuke walked calmly out of sight only to take off running to his room when he had safely turned the corner, seeking salvation away from his parents disappointment. Of course, it wasn't every day that he was scolded by his parents, but when he was, it often hurt and put him in a bad mood for the rest of the day, but this particular one, Sasuke was determined to turn the day around; especially with his new discovery of genjutsu's yesterday. Quickly running away from the prying eyes of his father, he dismissed himself and took off for school at a sprint. He couldn't get to the school fast enough so by the time he did reach the large building that housed the elementary students, Sasuke made a bee-line straight for the teacher's lounge. When he made it to the second floor, he found the large room empty of mostly every teacher. There were three teachers there at the time. One of which was dressed in a bright green spandex that practically screamed "STRANGER DANGER" and two who wore the standard shinobi uniform. Sasuke went towards the closest only to see him reading a bright colored book that read 'Icha Icha Paradise' in kanji across the binding. Taking a step back, Sasuke plows straight towards the third teacher- a brunette that he remembered went by the name of Iruka.

"Iruka-sensei, how do I make people have faces in genjutsu's?"

The brunette seemed to jump out of his seat before turning, staring at Sasuke in bewilderment, "What?"

Although he had often heard about the astonishing capabilities of the Uchiha to excel above and beyond others- Sasuke had shown only a fraction of these abilities. However, the raven-haired child was now asking him something that no one in the academy should even think about. Of course some teams learned about it as a genin, but that was long after they first learned team work which could take years if necessary! "I just wondered because when I tried to put people into my genjutsu, none of them had faces. So I thought you- as the teacher- would know about this level of genjutsu, but apparently I was wrong. I'll just ask Aniki if he might-"

"No, no! Sasuke-kun, it's not that I didn't know, it's that I wasn't expecting you to know. What I mean is… how did you create a genjutsu so strong?"

"I didn't. Aniki did. I just wanted to know how to give the people faces."

Iruka blinked repetitively, allowing that information to sink in before he nodded his head slowly, "Okay…. Your brother and not you created this. Okay… so what was your question again?"

If Sasuke wasn't a full-blooded Uchiha, he would've whined at his sensei's lack of attention, but knew that the event would come to win his father's favor even less, so he instead glared at the chalk board behind him, "How come none of the people in my genjutsu have faces?"

"Oh. Yes, that one. Well you see Sasuke-kun, when you create people in genjutsu, they create what you imagine- as I'm sure you already know- but when you don't have a specific person in mind, then the genjutsu will provide the bodies- which is easy enough- but the people will remain faceless unless you create someone in mind."

"So I just can't create someone, then?" Sasuke pouted, feeling himself being let down.

"Well… you can, but it's just hard to do. Even jonin need to concentrate exceptionally hard in order to create more than one person in a genjutsu and control it."

"But I can create a lot of faceless people without even blinking and change the scenery at the same time-"

"But when you create someone in particular, you often have certain expectations of them which your genjutsu will begin to incorporate automatically, but to do multiple people, you'll need to use excessive amounts of chakra and be really good at concentration to the point of a sage's ability, but not many can do that for more than a few seconds, so…"

Sasuke nodded, "So I probably won't be able to put faces on them?"

Iruka hesitated, seeing the pure disappointment on the younger Uchiha's faces before the bell rang, signaling the five minute warning for students to get to their classes. "How about you see me after school if you have any more questions?"

Sasuke nodded before turning on his heels and all but jogging out of the room only to be tackled by a bundle of sun. Falling on his butt, Sasuke glares at the soon-to-be-deceased victim only to stop at the sight of bright blonde hair. "Naruto! Get off of Sasuke-kun!"

Just as suddenly as it came, the pressure was alleviated and Sasuke turned to see the blonde haired kid walk up to Iruka, ignoring Sasuke completely, "Sorry, Iruka-sensei!"

Feeling humiliated- and ultimately embarrassed- Sasuke rises to his feet and leaves in a rush, vowing to never step back into the classroom again if only to avoid that blonde idiot! Of course, he would never admit that out loud, but there was every chance of avoiding that dobe because if he was stupid enough to run into a person standing still then he would be dumb enough to pass the exams to become a ninja. So with a final nod, Sasuke took off for his class, deciding the best way to deal with the faceless people.

So, he just allowed the faceless people to walk around as he changed the world daily, the possibilities of his surroundings possibly endless as long as he had a visual in his head to work off of until one day- he saw someone with a face.
