Prologue Part 2

Shortly after the fall of Akatsuki, the Sound Village made secret agreements with the Cloud and the Stone Villages. Both countries had a secret grudge with the Leaf Village and would enjoy watching it fall. Their tactic was to first destroy the weaker to allies, the Sand and the Mist, and thus depriving the Leaf of support. Their first assault was to be subtle, but cripple the Mist. They planned their attack on a certain bridge, which would separate the Country of Waves from the mainland. However, on the day of the attack, some ninjas were visiting the site. A battle broke out, and soon the war started.

After five years of fighting, both sides had lost many ninja, and suffered many casualties. The Sound, Stone and Cloud came together for a final assault. Their plan to destroy the Sand and Mist had failed, so they had to create a new plan. They had left the Fire Country relatively untouched since the start of the war, so the defenses there were still strong. They decided to cut through the weaker part of their defenses and head straight to the heart of the country, the Leaf Village.

After assembling their armies they entered the Fire Country. They tore through the defenses and towards the Leaf Village. When they reached the walls, however, they found themselves fighting Sand and Mist ninjas as well as Leaf ninjas. The leader of the Sound created a plan. He snuck past the defenses and headed into Konoha. The Hokage himself pursued him, and the battle to end the war started.

"I see you have improved much more than expected," Sasuke remarked.

"I have to in order to be Hokage," replied Naruto.

"You don't get it; Hokage is just a title to mask your true strength. It doesn't mean anything."

Naruto started getting mad, "You're wrong. I earned this title by being the best. I am the best."

"We'll se about that."

"Yes we will." With that Naruto jumped into the air and started accumulating chakra in his hand.

Sasuke jumped away from the rock and said, "Rasengan again? You must be running out of ideas all ready. I'll just match it with my own." Sasuke made some rapid movements with his hand and then a ball of lightning formed in his hand.

"Chicory, eh? Well I'll match that with my Rasengan Cannon."

"Wait, cannon?"

Naruto threw his ball of chakra at Sasuke then shot a pulse of chakra at the ball causing it to accelerate faster.

Sasuke jumped out of the way and then jumped towards Naruto. He raised his palm with his Chidori towards Naruto, ready to strike. Second before contact, Naruto flickered out of view and Sasuke missed. Surprised he said, "What!" and landed back on the ground.

Naruto appeared behind him and answered Sasuke's confusion, "That is a technique I have been working on. I call it the Body Flicker. With this my speed is even faster then yours. Not even your Sharingan can detect it."

Sasuke turned around in confusion. Then he smiled and broke out laughing.

"What's so funny?"

"Maybe my old Sharingan can't spot it, but my new one will." Sasuke closed his eyes and opened his eyes revealing red eyes with four comma-shaped dots circling around.

"I thought the Kaleidoscope Sharingan was the highest level!"

"Oh, you're dead wrong." Sasuke flew into the air and made a couple of hand signs. "Queen of the Sun, Eternal Blaze." Sasuke spit out a giant black fireball at the awestricken Naruto. Naruto calmed down and flickered out of the way. "Oh no you don't." remarked Sasuke. He made a couple more signs and shouted, "Queen of the Sun, Dark Phoenix Flames." Sasuke rapidly spit out small black fireballs that surrounded Naruto.

"This is bad," Naruto said, "I can't dodge all of them." Naruto quickly accumulated chakra and created a chakra barrier. The fireballs were stopped on contact.

Sasuke stopped his barrage, and looked at his opponent with eyes full of hatred. Naruto looked into his eyes and the world seemed to stop. Naruto was stranded in the illusion of the King of the Moon. Naruto had to get out there before it got worst. He used an illusionary counter and got out. Sasuke smirked, "I guess my illusions won't stop you. Maybe I'll have to just beat you to a pulp." Sasuke charged towards Naruto.

Naruto stood there grinning. "Multiple Shadow Clone Technique." Fifty clones appeared out of the smoke and surrounded Sasuke.

Sasuke smirked and said, "You think these can stop me. Chidori Current!" Sparks flew out of nowhere and fifty clones turned to smoke. "That won't stop me."

"But this will."

Sasuke looked around and saw twenty clones surrounding him and Naruto standing behind them. "Not a good idea standing right behind me and having you clones as support."

"You're wrong. You fell into my little trap." On command the clones charged up on chakra and ran around them. Naruto put his hand on Sasuke's shoulder and started making his Rasengan. Then his chakra connected with his clones' chakra, forming a whirlpool of chakra. "Swirling Maelstrom."

Sasuke stood there taking the hits from his attack. After it was over he fell down.

"What was that? I can't move. It feels like my chakra is drained."

Naruto explained, "My attack is unique. Instead of using my chakra to form a Rasengan, I sapped yours and used it to attack yourself."

Sasuke got up laughing.

"How are you still standing?"

"Hehe, time to take this battle to a whole new level."
