I don't own Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto does. Joshua is my character. My story will mostly be about Joshua at first. We will work our way into the first season of Naruto, but I'm changing things with the second season. The only thing I will be picking up in the second season is there are nine tail demons and the Akatsuki will be coming after the tail demons.

Demons' pact

I had grown a lot over the next couple of years. I was now 12 years old. I let the wind play with my hair. I had mastered many moves now. Some I even kept from my master Itachi. I wasn't sure what I should do now. I had been hearing that Orochimaru had moved at last. Of all things he went after a boy name Sasuke Uchiha. The cursed seal was put on the boy's neck.

I tried to talk to my master about it but he slapped me in the face. He told me that Sasuke was nothing but a weak boy. He told me it was nothing we should be a part of. I frowned. I couldn't really stand around like this. Orochimaru was the one person I wanted to rip his heart out and destroy in front of that freak's face. I left it for a time. I couldn't run yet but the time was coming soon.

I also learned soon after the Third died when Orochimaru try to destroy the village. The wild thing was the Third was able to destroy Orochimaru's arms. It might be a good time to take him on. The snake wouldn't be able to do seals. The only reason I could do anything yet was Itachi had me on a leash now. The only thing I could do for now was try to keep track of this person Sasuke Uchiha.

Then there was another fact, I found out that Gaara had been a pawn and it was another that stopped him. A boy named Naruto Uzumaki.

Four Months later...

At last I had done it. I was on my own now and it was pure luck that got me to this point. Itachi had to go out again. Fishface a.k.a. Kisame was looking after me. What can I say? I had only respect for Itachi. I didn't like the Akatsuki at all. All of them were deadly and none of them would care about the others. I found out they wanted all the tailed beasts. All nine of them; one for each of the members of the Akatsuki. I didn't like that idea at all. Would Itachi tell them I had one of these tailed beasts within me? The two tail in fact. If anyone tried to remove it from me I would die.

Then there was my plan to use the three tail beast to save Sasuke from Orochimaru's cursed seal. I had to replace the chakra that had been poisoned by the darkness of Orochimaru's power. I had to move fast now. What I had been hearing about the young Uchiha that had been falling into the darkness wasn't good news. I didn't understand why the boy would think that he needed to kill his brother at first.

It took a good three months to find out the reason. I knew people thought Itachi had wiped out the Uchiha clan. What I learned was Itachi had killed his parents, and with his power of the Mangekyou Sharingan he had convinced Sasuke that he had killed all the clan. It was true, although no one was found alive in the compound, but it didn't mean all the Uchihas were dead. I shook my head. This wasn't the time to think of past things. I had to find Sasuke before the worse came to be.

I stopped and looked around the forest. A forest I thought I'd never come back too. I kept to the shadows and listened for anything out of the order. For a few minutes there was no sound. Then a scream broke the still of quiet. I dashed in the direction of that scream. I just stopped short of a clearing.

There was the boy in question. Sasuke, but he wasn't alone. Orochimaru was angry and seemed to be losing his passions with the Uchiha. It wasn't a pretty site. Orochimaru was looking down at the young Uchiha.
"You are a fool, Sasuke. Do you think I gave you this power just to kill your brother?" The pale man slapped his hand across Sasuke's face. He chuckled as he watched the surprised Uchiha touch his cheek. The other that was with the pair came up behind Uchiha and smiled down at the teen.

"You should have known this Sasuke. Power always has a price." His glasses hid his eyes.

Sasuke glared at the men who held him captive. He realized he had made a mistake. One he didn't know how to fix now. He had been blinded by his anger and needed to kill his brother. He should have listened to his teacher and friends. Naruto. He had almost killed him to get power but at least he had stopped himself at the last moment. How he wished he could take it all back now. That was in the past and he was not getting away from Orochimaru at this moment, but he had to. If he didn't run now he would never see the light again. He would be forever lost in the dark. -I'm still weak. Darn it. - His black eyes slowly changed into red eyes.

"Sasuke... why that look of hate towards me?" Orochimaru smiled. The head ninja of Sound laughed. "Your hands will kill your brother... but only with my help."

"You..." Sasuke slowly stood up. "I figured you out, but it's seems I'm trapped in your webs." The teen gripped his hands into fists.

Orochimaru chuckled. Kabuto's hands started to glow. "Now, now Sasuke. We can't have you do anything foolish." The medical ninja moved towards the Uchiha.

I had to do something. I could tell Itachi's brother didn't want to be with Orochimaru any longer but I was a lone person. It had to be a sign when a crash of thunder broke through my thoughts. The rain started to come down hard. I had no idea what took over me but I moved. Sasuke was using his Chidori to attack Kabuto. I figured the young Uchiha knew he couldn't attack Orochimaru head on. My hands moved as I headed towards them. First I called out Naga. I recalled our talk a while back about running into their deaths. The rain moved away from my body while I now did a second hand sign, as I appeared beside Orochimaru. I had one shot at this and I knew it. Naga darted out from around my arm and bit Orochimaru's arm. He disappeared quickly. Those cold eyes turned to see me shout. "Water Dragon Blast no Jutsu!" The rain changed into a large water dragon. It shot out and blasted Orochimaru back. I did another quick hand sign and the water dragon froze. I was hoping Orochimaru would be trapped by it. Naga's bite would have frozen his chakra. By this time I had stopped moving. I turned to see Kabuto looking at me now. His eyes widened. Sasuke caught his chin with his fist. Red eyes looked at me.

"Talk later. Run now!" I turned to run. I only hoped Sasuke would follow me.

-I didn't know who this person was just this person had saved me from my own mistakes.- Sasuke felt the rain pushing him away from his nightmares behind him. He kept running. He noted that the bright purple hair tied in a braid in front of him was waving back and forth. He moved up beside the person and with his red eyes he watched the teen do a hand sign. It made the rain part away from both of them. Sasuke felt that a bit of the weight he had put on his shoulders had been taken off, but he knew he had along way to go, and maybe this was at last the right path for him. This stranger had helped him out without asking for anything for now at least. The rain was still coming down around them as they kept running.-

Kabuto held his side as he hurried over to Orochimaru. He almost was cut in half by the Chidori. His healing ability saved him. "Lord Orochimaru." The silver haired ninja quickly work on freeing his master's leg that was trapped in ice. Soon Orochimaru was freed.

"Kabuto, who was that, attacked us?" Gold eyes looked into the black ones that hid behind a pair of glasses. He waited for an answer.

The silver haired ninja pushed up his glasses. "Well I didn't see any symbol on him for any village. I have to check my little red cards for any information on such a teen."

Orochimaru growled. "Do it as you go after them. Sasuke is getting away."

A dark chuckle echoed in the woods. "Oh my... I should have figured this is what that little punk was doing." A tall shadow came crawling into the clearing. Kabuto arched up and looked over in the direction of the voice. "Kisame?"

"Why the surprised faces Orochimaru? Kabuto? I take it you ran into some trouble." The lean, blue skinned Akatsuki member smirked.

Kabuto was about to jump the Akatsuki but Orochimaru grabbed the teen's arm. "So you know who this boy is. Do tell me quickly Kisame before you die."

The shark chuckled. "The kid's name is Joshua. He belongs to Itachi." Kisame smiled to himself as he watched the color drain from Kabuto's face and the shock in Orochimaru's eyes.

"I'm in enough trouble as it is for losing the kid. So now that he grabbed Itachi's little brother..." Kisame watched Kabuto stand up and move his glasses up against his nose.

"It's seems we need to work together to get back what was taken then." Kabuto helped Orochimaru up. "My lord. I don't want to leave you in this state but I can't let your next body get away."

"It's alright, Kabuto. I know you want to make sure I'm alright but this isn't the time. Sasuke must not get away." Orochimaru leaned up against a tree. "I seem to be having troubles moving my body so you must go with Kisame." His yellow eyes glowed softly.

"As you wish my lord." Kabuto bowed his head. Soon a group of Sound ninjas appeared. They bow and waited for commands.

Orochimaru ordered three of them to go with Kabuto, while the last helped him back to headquarters. Soon five dangerous ninjas were off to stop a pair of teens getting away.

There were storm clouds in the distance of Konoha. A blond teen was sitting on top of one of the heads carved into the stone wall. There were five of them now. Four of them were men. The last was a woman. All of them were powerful. The men had given their lives for the village. The fourth had given up his life early to stop a powerful demon: Kyubi. The Kyubi had been one of the many problems the blond had to overcome but it wasn't like he couldn't control it. It was the people of the village that made it harder for him to be himself. He was going to prove to everyone that he was going to be one of these people who became a face carved into the stone wall.

He listened to the thunder in the distance. He frowned. That sound wasn't normal. Was someone or something was messing with the weather? That was a scary thought. The blond leapt off the stone wall and down to the ground in a few bounds and leaps. The blond rushed off towards the Hokage tower to find out if the old hag had any news of his rival's where-about.

Well there we go... chapter three. Will Sasuke and Joshua get away from Kabuto, Kisame and the Sound ninjas? Will Naruto find Sasuke before it's too late and what is with that storm in the distance?
