Prelude
Uchiha Sasuke stood as the rain soaked him. He looked at the headstones of his entire clan. It had been a week since the day known as the 'Uchiha Massacre'. In one night, the eldest son of the clan's leader slaughtered the entire clan with the exception of him. He was spared due to his weakness. It is what his brother said to him. He left him, finding him unworthy to kill.
After a while, Sasuke turned away from the sight. It would be a while before he ever returned.

Sasuke made his way through the streets. He ignored the looks of pity that he would get. He did not need their pity. He did not need anyone. As he continued on his way, he heard something that caught his attention.
"The eldest son of our Yondaime has retired?!" one female asked another.
"Apparently. My friend is the Hokage's assistant. She told me that he and Sandaime had a terrible argument. He practically ripped the hinges off his door. He then called him a failure as he left." The other female answered.
"Do you think he blames the Sandaime for what happened to the Uchiha? I knew that he was a member of the police force." That surprised Sasuke.
"Maybe but that is some kind of reaction to have, insulting the Hokage like that. Maybe he was ashamed that he was not here to stop Itachi. We all know that out of everyone in the village, he was Itachi's equal. Do you remember the Chunin Exams in Iwa?"
"Shhh! We are to never speak that name any more. What if the survivor hears you?" was the harsh whisper. Sasuke turned away and quickly ran toward the Hokage Monument. He ran in that direction because he knew that is where the Namikaze family lived. He only remembered because that is where he was for his sister's birthday party. He also remembered that his mother was friends with the Yondaime's wife, which was his mother. It was this man that he needed to see, now!
It took Sasuke ten minutes of hard running before he reached the door. He banged on it furiously, hoping someone answered. The door opened to reveal a thirteen-year-old teen. He had spiky blond hair and blue eyes. He wore a standard Konoha top with orange pants. The blond blinked in surprise to see who it was.
"You're Sasuke, right?" he asked.
"Are you Namikaze Naruto?" Sasuke asked in a rush.
"I am." Sasuke dropped to his knees and bowed at his feet, tears dropping from his eyes.
"Please, please, help me to get my revenge!" Sasuke exclaimed. Naruto looked at the boy with eyes of sadness.

Authors' Notes
This is a rewrite of the original story. Somewhere along the line of this story I went off my path. My original plan was to have an older Naruto train Sasuke. Instead, I followed the plot of the story. So I decided to redo the story. I re-worked my plot and the story will be much different from what I had. So, enjoy the new story everyone.
