Author's Notes: So, new chapter is here and I hope you all like it. Now, some people asked when exactly this story takes place. This takes place during the one month period between the 2nd and 3rd round of the Chunin Exams. Also, a lot of people have been asking for a sequel to this story after it's completion, and don't worry I won't drop the story. So leave a review saying if you'd like a sequel or not :)
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.
T-The Mangekyo Sharingan?" asked Sasuke.
"Awesome!" said Sarada, staring at Sasuke in awe.
"By all means leave. Run, run and cling to your worthless life..." That voice now echoed through Sasuke's mind.
"... And when you have the same eyes as me, come find me."
Sasuke was shaking. All those memories, the pain, it all came back at once.
"But... There is a catch. To attain these eyes, you must take the life of your best friend. You have to kill him."
"Wait a minute. Itachi told me that to get the Mangekyo Sharingan I had to kill my best friend. So how?" Sasuke asked his Older self.
"It appears that my tale has hurt you more than I thought. I'm sorry but it was the only way to make you understand that revenge... is not the answer." Older Sasuke apologised.
"All of my life.. I trained.. to kill him. W-What do I do now? What's my purpose anymore?"
"Well... You still have a reason to keep getting stronger." Older Sasuke said.
"What is that?" asked Sasuke.
"To protect your loved ones."
XXXXXXXX
"I love Hinata Hyuuga."
"Alright, now that that's out of the way... I need you to tell me how the hell am I supposed to explain to everyone that I'm training my younger self when they see us around the village." Older Naruto asked his younger self.
"T-T-Training?" Naruto asked with hopeful eyes.
"Yup! You didn't think you'd meet your future self without learning a few jutsu's to help you in your future, did'ya?" Older Naruto grinned.
"AWESOME! I CAN'T WAIT! WE'LL BE THE BEST GENIN AROUND AND I'LL KICK NEJI-TEME'S ASS." Naruto yelled, jumping around hapilly.
"But..."
Naruto stopped and focused on his Older self.
"... Don't expect it to be easy. You are training with the 7th Hokage after all."
"I wouldn't have it any other way. I promise, I'll master this training. And I never break a promise."
"Because that is your nindo, your Ninja way." Older Naruto finished.
XXXXXXXX
"My loved ones?" asked Sasuke.
"Yes. I have come to realize that true strength... comes from protecting the ones you care about. Actually, a friend of mine beat it into me." Older Sasuke smirked.
"A friend?"
"Yes, I believe you know him too."
"You mean Naruto? At your Rematch? He did..." Sasuke was impressed. Older Sasuke nodded.
"So what do we do now?" asked Sasuke.
"Now, I'll train you." answered Older Sasuke.
"Train me? In what?"
"First I'll teach you how to use the Mangekyo, then some jutsu to go with it." informed Older Sasuke.
"Jutsu? What Jutsu?"
"I will teach you jutsu that are very likely to help you in times of need. The Chidori for example will be the first jutsu I will teach you."
"No fair! I've asked you to teach me the Chidori every time you were in the village but you always said 'no'." Sarada was angry.
"Sarada, I still can't teach you the Chidori. The Sharingan, which you still haven't awakened, is a vital part of the jutsu. Only the ones who have the Sharingan can use it safely." Older Sasuke informed his daughter.
"Wait a minute. Now that you mentioned it, Kakashi told me he'd teach me a new jutsu called Chidori to prepare me for the third round of the Chunin Exams." said Sasuke.
"Well from what I remember, Kakashi was not the best teacher around." Older Sasuke said, remembering how he was late for the third round of the exams.
"So I think it will be better to surprise him a little, ne?
"Alright then. I'll master this training, get stronger, find Itachi and talk to him and then..." Sasuke looked up. "Fight to protect my friends and loved ones."
"Okay. First thing in the morning we'll begin your training. So be ready cause it sure as hell won't be easy... HAHAHAHAHAHA" Older Sasuke began to laugh maniaclly.
"Papa, are you okay?" asked Sarada.
"Eh? I've never been better. Why?" asked Older Sasuke innocently.
"Never mind..." she sighed.
"Well then, it's getting late so I am off to bed. Sasuke-kun, will you join me?" Older Sakura purred seductively.
"Ohhh yeah!" Older Sasuke smirked. He was getting laid tonight and he knew it.
"What about us?" asked Sakura.
"What's wrong?" Older Sakura was confused.
"Where do we sleep?" answered Sasuke.
"Oh, you can pick one of the two guest rooms. Sarada will show you where they are." Older Sasuke said lazily. He really needed to go to bed.
Two Hours Later
"Ah... AH... FASTER... SASUKE-KUN... I'M... I CAN'T..."
"AH... SAKURA! I'M ALMOST..."
"ME TOO! YOU'RE SO GOOD AT THIS."
"SAKURA!"
"SASUKE!"
…
"How can anyone sleep like this?!" Sasuke thought to himself as he burried his face into his pillow.
Sakura however was having entirely diffirent thoughts...
"If this is a dream... please don't wake up." she thought. You see, Sakura had found a small peeking hole in the wall right next to Older Sasuke and Sakura's bedroom. And she was taking full advantage of it.

Older Sasuke woke up feeling... refreshed would be the best word.
He looked around and wondered where his tent went. Then he remembered.
"Oh right, I'm home." he thought aloud. "Yesterday sure was crazy huh?"
He slowly got up from bed as he rubbed the sleepiness from his eyes. He went to the bathroom to get ready for the day. "Today will be a long day." he thought as he washed his face.
He went to the kitchen to fix himself a bowl of cereal but was surprised when he saw his 13-year old self already there, eating. He sat down and asked.
"What's up? How come you're already up?"
"I didn't sleep yesterday." he answered coldly, causing Older Sasuke to blush a deep red.
XXXXXXXX
The future Orange Hokage of the Leaf Village also woke up early, as he himself was feeling refreshed but for diffirent reasons. Yesterday was awesome! And to think it all began with a boring mission... One was certain, the answers he got yesterday had left him with more questions than before. He would have to ask today.
"Today is gonna be a long day." Naruto thought.
10 minutes later and the entire Uzumaki family was eating breakfast in the kitchen, talking about minor things like most families do.
"So Boruto, you're still at the Academy?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah, this my last year. Finally I can be a ninja." Boruto answered.
"Anyway, I better get going. Shino-sensei will be royally pissed if I'm late again."
"Let me walk you there kiddo." Older Naruto said as he got up from his chair.
"No! If people see my dad walking me to the Academy they'll think I'm a loser."
"I said I'm coming. Plus, we haven't finished that conversation we started yesterday, have we?"
"Damn it, I thought you had forgotten about that." Boruto pouted.
"Now now, you of all people should know that there are only a few things that escape me. When it comes to my family... Well I guess I can't help but be extra careful." Older Naruto grinned.
"Now come on or you'll be late."
"Yeah I get it, I'm coming." Boruto walked to the door lazily.
"And you..." he looked at Naruto "I'll be back in a half hour and then we'll begin your training."
"YES!" Naruto did a little victory dance in his mind.
Older Naruto and Boruto slowly strolled to the Academy silently. Naruto decided to speak.
"So, do you remember where we left off?"
"You asked why I do pranks." Boruto answered looking down.
"And? Do you plan on telling me?"
"Well..."
"Boruto, I can't help you if you don't tell me what's wrong." Older Naruto told his stubborn son.
"You never help." Boruto muttered out. But Naruto heard it anyway.
"What? Why do you say that? You know I'll always be here for our family."
"Except it won't be like that if you're dead!" Boruto shouted getting the attention of people around them.
"Boruto..." Naruto was confused. He wanted to be the best father he could be. And he tried. He wanted to give his family what he never had growing up. So why wasn't that enough?
"I'm sorry Dad. I didn't mean to..."
"It's okay. But you know, we've had this talk many times."
"Still, all the Hokage's that have fought to protect the Leaf died. I can't lose you." Boruto sobbed as he enveloped his Father in a bone-crushing hug.
"Boruto, I've told you that since I'm Hokage, I consider everyone in this Village my family. And to protect my family I'm willing to give my life for them if need be..."
"But what about us! Your REAL family. Mom and Himawari?" Boruto cried.
"You, Himawari and Hinata are the most precious people in my life and I would do everything in order to make you happy."
"Quit from being Hokage then! That's what I want! Ever since you became Hokage we hardly spend any time together at all!"
"That's why you pull pranks then? To get my attention?" Older Naruto figured it out.
Boruto remained silent.
"I'm right aren't I ? Boruto, that's the wrong kind of attention y'know."
"You said 'y'know'. You haven't done that in years. Are you getting excited about something?"
Older Naruto grinned.
"What is it? C'mon, tell me, tell me!" Boruto pleaded.
"Tell you what, I'll come pick you up from the Academy and then we'll do anything you want!" Older Naruto suggested.
"Really! You mean it?" Boruto asked.
"Yup! Deal?"
"Deal!"
"Okay then. Now let's get going or you'll be late... again." Older Naruto sighed.
"Alright, alright. I get it. I'm coming."

Meanwhile, outside the Uchiha Estate, the sounds of birds and explosions echoed through the field.
"You're putting too much power in it. Try again." Older Sasuke instructed.
"Damn it! Fine." Sasuke formed three hand-signs and called out his jutsu.
"Chidori!" he took off full speed and attacked the tree in front of him.
"I think you got it down for now. Take a break."
"I... think I... get it now. It's all about... shape manipulation... when you master the element." Sasuke said panting.
"Well yeah but, when you master the Chidori you'll have about 3 more jutsu in the bag."
"Really? What are they?" Sasuke asked.
"Chidori Stream, a jutsu with a wide area of attack, Chidori Senbon, a long range attack for multiple targets and Chidori Sharp Spear, a pinpoint attack aimed for vital spots. Basically the possibilities are endless wgen you master change in chakra shape." Older Sasuke informed.
"I'll just have to work harder then." said Sasuke as he got up from the ground.
"Don't overexert yourself. You can keep training on the Chidori when you get back to your time. The Mangekyo Sharingan however, is something only I can teach you how to control."
"Fine then. We'll work on the Chidori later." Sasuke wanted to get as strong as he could.
"Sasuke, don't be hasty. You've used a lot of chakra today. The Mangekyo wastes a lot on it's own so training with it activated could be very dangerous. Just rest for now." Older Sasuke suggested.
"It's okay I can keep going."
"Calm down. You've made enough progress already. Learning the Chidori in one day it's..."
"Well I had a good teacher." Sasuke teased.
They both laughed for a good while before the decided to head out for some omusubi. It was their favourite after all.

As soon as Older Naruto got back home, he picked up Naruto and they headed out for Training Ground 3.
"Ok Naruto. The first thing we're gonna work on is your Elemental Affinity." Older Naruto said.
"My Elemental what-now?" asked Naruto scratching his head sheepisly.
"Okay, Drop the act now! We both now you're smarter than what you let on. I won't help unless you're completely serious. That idiotic front makes enemies underestimate you but not me."
Naruto's face instantly changed to a stern and serious look.
"Ok, so how will we work on my affinity exactly? And what element is it anyway?"
"There we go. That's the Naruto I need for the kind of training I'll put you through. When I'm done with you you'll be a shinobi of high Chunin to mid Jonin." Older Naruto said proudly.
"Alright! Now let's get started." Naruto was excited.
"Your Elemental Affinity is Wind. Your Jutsu are weak against Fire Style but strong against Lightning Style."
"So the first step of my training will be mastering Wind element?" Naruto asked and Older Naruto nodded.
"That's right. After that I'll be teaching you a couple Wind Style Jutsu and a Jutsu created by the Fourth Hokage himself."
"The Fourth Hokage? You mean the Flying Raijin?"
"Where did you hear about that?" Older Naruto was surprised his younger self knew about that jutsu.
"Oh, the description of the scroll we used to get here mentioned Space and Time manipulation much like the Flying Raijin."
"Oh, well I wasn't talling about that but if we have time we'll work on it too."
"Ah, that's okay. What Jutsu were you talking about then?" Naruto asked.
"The Rasengan. An A-Ranked Jutsu that requires no hand-signs and is entirely made of chakra. A jutsu that utilizes Rotation, Power and containment."
"The Rasengan huh? Y'know I think I've heard about it from the Pervy Sage."
"Pervy Sage. You should respect and listen to him a lot more y'know." Older Naruto said solemnly.
"Huh, how come?"
"You never know how precious someone is, until you lose him. Remember that Naruto."
"Okay. I promise to respect Jiraiya-sensei more. You obviously know something I don't."
"Don't worry about it now. Hey, now that you mentioned Jiraiya, have you signed the Toad Summoning Contract yet?" Older Naruto asked.
"Yeah, Pervy S-... I mean, Jiraiya-sensei already showed me the Summoning Jutsu too." Naruto answered.
"Alright, that makes things easier. We'll work on Sage Mode too."
"Sage Mode? What's that?" Naruto asked confused.
"After the Rasengan kid. And we still have to work on your Affinity."
"It's alright. Sasuke is propably training too. Don't wanna get too far ahead of him."
"Oh trust me. When you master Sage Mode you'll be on a class of your own." Older Naruto informed.
" Anyway, you see that tree over there?" Older Naruto pointed to a nearby tree.
"Yeah what about it?"
"Create a few hundered Shadow Clones and make each one of them get a single leaf from that tree. We'll talk about the purpose of the Shadow Clones after that." Older Naruto ordered.
"Alright! Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!" With that he made 500 Shadow Clones and each one got a leaf from the tree.
His training has just began.
I hope you liked the chapter :)
Andrew... out!
