Disclaimer: I STILL don't own Naruto


Prologue Part 3

Naruto was shocked. "I sapped all of your remaining chakra for that attack! You shouldn't still be standing!"

Sasuke laughed, "Looks like your ultimate attack failed. Good thing I still have a few things left in my arsenal." Sasuke ran towards Naruto with a clenched fist. Naruto, being too awestruck to do anything, was struck hard in his stomach. Naruto flew into the air with blood shooting out of his mouth. Sasuke appeared right under him and kicked Naruto in the back, causing him to fly higher into the sky. Then Sasuke appeared under him. "Shadow of the dancing Leaf." Sasuke kicked Naruto in the side and then used the leverage to lift himself up and punch Naruto in the stomach. Naruto accelerated as he descended to the ground. "I'm not down yet," exclaimed Sasuke. He made a few hand signs and got ready for a final kick. "Lion Combo: Chidori Kick." Sasuke struck Naruto hard in the stomach. Naruto felt a sharp charge pour into him. Naruto ended up lying in a deep crater.

Naruto tried getting up, but Sasuke saw him. Sasuke charged towards him, jumped into the air, and made more hand signs. "Chidori Drill." Sasuke started a barrage of kicks into Naruto's stomach. After the barrage, Naruto was stuck in a crater-like well with charred skin where he was struck. Naruto could not get up.

Sasuke smirked as he started to leave. He felt a searing pain in his head as he was struck by a Rasengan. He did multiple front flips and landed flat on his face forty feet away. He got up and saw Naruto panting by the rim of the crater.

"How, how did you get your strength back?" Naruto asked in a weak voice.

"Hehe, I should be asking you the same thing," answered Sasuke in a confident tone. "Well I guess I'll have to tell you."

Sasuke: "Over the years I grew more and more powerful. Eventually I became even more powerful than Orochimaru. When he used his Soul Transfer technique, my strength overwhelmed him. I knew then that I might be as powerful as Itachi. But, I didn't stop there. I trained more and more, learning new techniques, and becoming more powerful. After several years of training, I finally felt confident that I could defeat Itachi. I searched for his whereabouts.

"Ten years ago, I finally intercepted him as he headed back to the Akatsuki lair. I challenged him and we fought a long, hard battle. I had underestimated him. I still managed to defeat him, but it was a very close battle. I knew I needed to be stronger. I then saw a strange container, the package that Itachi was delivering to Akatsuki. I then realized that it might be a jinchiruuki. The container itself had a powerful seal that only a specialist could open it. This was a complicated seal that entirely baffled me, but my lust for power overwhelmed me. After countless tries, I managed to break the seal. Inside was a swirl of enigmatic chakra energy. Then, the chakra started pouring out and became absorbed by the first living thing around. Me. I felt overwhelmed with power.

"After that, I strived to hone this magnificent power. But after finally getting revenge, there was no way to measure this power. I then devised a little plan."

Naruto stood shocked. "That means that you have a demon spirit inside."

"Yes," Sasuke said, "After I got this little demon, I strived to hone the magnificent powers of the jinchiruuki. But after finally getting revenge, there was no way to measure this power. I then devised a little plan."

"…I started this war."

Naruto stood there stunned.

"This war was but a decoy to get to the target. You. The container of the Nine Tails Kyubi. I knew that the only way to get to you was through an act of war. After signing a secret alliance with the Stone and Cloud Villages, I put my plan into action. I waited for the perfect chance to have a one-on-one battle with you. However, I could not get to you without having to get through those pesky ANBU. So I devised a full frontal attack on Konoha, thus driving all possible ninja to the frontline. Then I lured you to a secluded location where I could finally test my true strength."

Naruto finally spoke, "So this was all just a plan to get to me. Well then let's fight."

Sasuke glowed of black chakra. "Well then, beware the power of the Eight-Tails Demon Snake."
