Note: Just a little one-shot drabble I thought up and got inspired to write. Not sure the timelines add up but I tried.

Sasuke let out a light breath as he opened his eyes ever so slowly. A searing bright light came into view along with a cluster of blonde hair. He groaned as his vision slowly cleared, moving his hands up to cover his eyes. He could feel the freshly dewed grass under him, his senses on alert with the new power of the mangekyou Sharingan. The Sharingan.
The Sharingan which gave Shisui, who wanted nothing more than people to get along, the power to force them into it. The Sharingan which gave Itachi, who only wished to escape the world, the ultimate genjutsu. The Sharingan who gave him the power to destroy all in his path...just as he had wanted for a long time. Or that's what he'd found in his right eye. His left he wasn't sure. At the moment he wasn't too focused on this, however, and only cursed his superhuman senses. "Naruto...fuck off. I told you I'm not returning to Konoha..." he muttered, hands shielding his face from the sun and blonde.
His vision quickly evened out, and he felt a hand grip his own by the wrist gently. His hand was placed by his side and he felt another move to try to lift him into a sitting position. He now saw the face clearly-- one he had seen every day for years. The face of the third Hokage, long dead. He was moved to silence, not moving beside the reflexive cringe away from the man's hands. "I'm sorry, you must have me confused for someone." the man smiled. "My name's Minato, and it would seem this Naruto boy has already done his deed and dropped you off. You're in the raining grounds of Konoha."
When Sasuke finally finished gawking, he rose a shaky finger to point at the man, scrabbling away. "Y-You! You're dead! Dead as hell! Oh, shit- am I dead?" panic rising in his chest. Last he remembered he had been laying in his bed, mind torturing him with guilt over everything he had done and cursing the world for falling as it had. He put a hand over his mouth, clenching his jaw. "What stupid bastard kills someone in their sleep? Coward!"
He felt another hand on his shoulder and whipped around to see a girl with shoulder-length brown hair and lively brown eyes. "I'm sorry, stranger, but we can't understand you when you're panicking. Did you hit your head? Is that why you think you're dead? Perhaps a concussion, it would explain why you're so confused." she offered.
Sasuke watched as a bit with short black hair gently pushed her aside, pointing at Sasuke accusingly. "Rin, stay away from him! Look at those eyes, they look like a Sharingan but with weird designs. He's obviously an enemy ninja trying to pretend to be a long lost Uchiha or something to get into the village. He didn't even do his research to see what the Sharingan looks like. Pathetic, but don't worry, I'll protect you." he grinned for a split second before turning serious eyes to Sasuke.
The slightly older Uchiha blinked, reaching up to touch his face. His Sharingan was activated. But why...? He hadn't commanded them to do anything...? He heard a voice from beside Minato, coming from a silver-haired boy who was undoubtedly Kakashi. "Obito, shut up. He was passed out when we found him and now looks like he's going to flee at any moment. He's no threat."
Even so, the silver-haired ninja eyed him suspiciously. Sasuke gawked at him. "Kakashi-Sensei, what the hell happened to you? You're tiny? Shit, I know you were in ANBU, but sneaking up on me in my sleep and putting a genjutsu on me is low." he muttered, rubbing his throbbing head.
All four blinked at him, and he couldn't help but feel out of place as he stood up slowly, inching backward where he knew the forest had an opening. Unfortunately, Lord Fourth wasn't as ut of it as he seemed. When Sasuke made a break for it and towards the woods, the man was in front of him immediately with lighting fast reflexes. Stepping back to try and take another route, he was shocked when he felt two hands gently fold his hands forward and pull him closer. "Hey...it's alright you know. We won't hurt you. Can you tell us your name? What do you mean I'm dead?"
Biting back the urge to struggle under the hold on the man who oozed power, he lowered his head a bit while being held against the man's chest. "Sasuke Uchiha. You are dead. You died during the ninetails attack- why did you talk about Naruto like you didn't know your own son?" eyes widening in a panic the more he spoke. Finally, his reflexives kicked in and he resumed his struggling, "Damn it, Kakashi! This isn't funny! I've seen my bingo book number, I do not have a kill on sight mark! There is no purpose for this shit! I thought you were above toying with lives!"
His face paled at that, eyes moving to light anything he could on fire in panic. "Orochimaru! You snake, you think this is a game? I'll fucking kill you three times over when I figure out how you did this!" he demanded, his mind flailing up in every which direction. By now there was a nice-sized crowd, ninjas from ranks genin to ANBU watching as he rushed to set anything he could ablaze and spoke seemingly nonsense.
All three fresh genin from earlier was watching with wide confused eyes, and Minato sighed. "Sasuke, you need to calm down before I have to knock you out. You can't cause a scene. It'll scare the public. I think you're confused. Let's all head back to the Hokage tower and figure it out calmly. No one is going to hurt you. Kakashi and the others are under my order, while Orochimaru is banished. You'll be safe alright?"
Sasuke eased his thrashing a bit, allowing the flames to die down. His uneven breaths calmed a bit, biting his lip. If this was a genjutsu, he had to outsmart it to break it, not use blunt force. Though he was sure he had the power to see threw genjutsu...
Minato took his hand, and he watched as a young Ibiki worked to clear the crowd out along with a few other ANBU officers who were on duty. The three other genins followed them, and he couldn't help but keep staring at Kakashi. He was so young looking! He didn't have his Sharingan yet, which he had told Sasuke once that he had got before Obito's death. Yes, during the month at the chuunin exam preparation period, the man had shared a lot.
When they finally arrived Sasuke looked down a bit. He was lightly pushed down onto a chair in a sitting area, opposite of the others besides Minato who sat on his right. His eyes were downcast into the cup of tea Kushina had poured them. She sat at his left now. He was doing his best to compose himself, a bit ashamed of his out lashing behavior. He now realized, looking around, that this was no genjutsu. It was all real. But how...?
Minato gave him a moment to collect himself before asking lightly, "Sasuke, was it, you said you're an Uchiha like Obito here. Can you tell us your parents' names? Perhaps they can make sense of this." he offered.
Shaking his head back and forth quickly, Sasuke took a sip from his dream. "Fugaku and Mikoto Uchiha. But they're dead too. They died in the massacre." pursing his lips before asking, "But you're dead. I know you are. You have to be. You've all been dead except Kakashi for years. You were reanimated at the chuunin exams. You can't reanimate a living person."
Kushina blinked. "Mikoto isn't dead. I and Minato went on a double date with them just last night." she pointed out. "That, and Minato is sitting right across from you..." her voice trailing off as she stared at him. Sasuke rose a brow, before feeling his eyes grimace from the action. He rose his hands, rubbing his eyes to find blood pouring from them.
"Shit...my eyes...this must be what Ita-nii meant..." wiping the liquid onto his sleeve. He noticed it was only the left eye which bled, and decided to shut it would help. Did it help Kakashi, didn't it?
Obito seemed to pale. "Hey, wait a minute, 'Ita-nii' as in Itachi Uchiha?" he questioned and seeing a nod he gaped. "He was just born a few weeks ago. How the hell could you know about that? The only one outside the compound who knows is the Hokage." he demanded.
Looking urked, Kakashi sent the younger Uchiha a glare. "He just said 'nii' implying it's his older brother, idiot." turning his attention to Sasuke. "You have to be from further ahead in time. There's no other explanation. The only question is how."
A hand rose to smack Sasuke on the forehead, the Uchiha avenger nearly facepalming at his foolishness. "I'm an idiot. Of course. How the hell didn't I see that." seeing the confused looks he rubbed at his closed left eye. "I just got my mangekyou Sharingan. The mangekyou has always given the user a path to what they want the most. I got destruction in my right and this must be the other one in my left. No wonder I can't switch it off. Shit..."
Rin looked unsure as she spoke, "Should we really be talking to him if he's from the future? He seems to know us all. It might now be a good idea to speak about anything more that's future related or it might throw it off."
Sasuke gave a bitter chuckle at that. "Rin, there's nothing I could say to make the future any worse. Everyone in this room is royally screwed over along with the rest of the world," he muttered the last part.
Minato swallowed a lump in his throat. "You said you were in the bingo book. I don't suppose you played a role in this world crisis you speak of? Though, you also noted you don't have a kill on sight order."
Leaning back, Sasuke scoffed. "I am in the bingo book, like a runaway ninja. This village couldn't give me what I needed so I ran away to achieve my goals. I stooped low enough to let Orochimaru experiment on me in exchange for power, as well teach me. I'm pretty high up there and have done a lot of fucked up shit, but I didn't start this all. Tobi did. He damned all of the ninja worlds."
Silence overfell them all, and Rin glanced hesitantly at Obito. "Hey...isn't that the name you always used to use when we played as children? You don't think you..." eyes sweeping away at the shocked look on Obitos face at the idea. "But...what did he do that caused the end of the world?"
Laying his cup down, Sasuke rubbed his shoulder idely. "Well, he did a lot. It would make sense though now that I think about it. The plan would have been set into action around the time of Obito's death." looking down a bit. "Kakashi said you all were on a mission together. Lord Fourth went to fight one while you three fought the other. They took Rin and Obito insisted they go save her. Obito...doesn't make it. A boulder falls and smashes half of him. He gives Kakashi his working Sharingan, and Kakashi goes to save Rin. But... he was forced to kill her for complicated reasons. I guess assuming Obito is Tobi he must have seen it and decided to take revenge on Kakashi."
The faces before him turned grim, Obito and Rin paling at the mention of their death. "The Uchiha are planning a coup as we speak. In five or six years Tobi will control the nine tails and make is attack the village, manipulating it while the seal is weak from childbirth." giving Kushina a bittersweet smile. "It's during a time of piece so the village blames it on the Uchiha. You and Minato are both killed saving your son, Naruto, and sealing the demon in him. Later on, thirteen years from now, the third Hokage who has returned to office forces Itachi to kill the entire clan besides me. Every last Uchiha, besides me, dead."
He tried to keep his wavering voice under control, knowing this was important and he couldn't cry now. "Tobi helps kill the clan and takes Itachi away where he's secretly a spy for Konoha for an S-Rank criminal organization. Then when I kill Itachi in a fit of rage for killing our family Tobi tells me the truth about why Itachi killed everyone, since I had thought he only wanted to test his power. He's currently trying to push me into declaring war on the leaf village since I'm one of the strongest ninjas alive besides Naruto. Spirits, while I'm here, who knows what he's doing to everyone." not caring if his facts mixed or if he rambled as he shook a bit at the refreshed thought of his older brothers death.
He felt foreign arms wrap around him, and his hissed in embarrassment as he realized the fourth had wrapped him in a hug and was gently rubbing his back, blocking the view of the others as he did so. He must have been speaking with a lot more spite than he thought, for even after revealing he was considering vengeance on the village, Minato's first reaction was to comfort him. Minato gently spoke. "I understand the basics of what you're saying. You're too overwhelmed to explain the details. Come, you need rest. You can stay with Kushina and me. There's a lot we need to know, but plenty of time for it."
