Disclaimer- I do not own Naruto; if I did Kisame would have a lot more battle scenes.

Previously in Vice Versa: A Naruto Tale—

Naruto turned around and stared at the door. The knocking continued. He decided that the person on the other side was not going to stop. He opened the door, and when he saw who it was grinned.

"It's been a while, Sasuke."

"Hey dobe, long time no see."

"Well, hello traitor, how's it been?"

Sasuke scowled and replied "I'm no traitor, and if you say that again you're as good as dead."

'Well traitor, if I'm a dobe what does that make you, I mean, I did kick your ass."

'That's it your dead!" Sasuke said as he charged towards Naruto pulling out Kusinagi and swung.

Naruto quickly grabbed Nisshou. He could feel Kyuubi's chakra trying to break free.

'Hold on Sasuke, let's fight somewhere else." said Naruto.

'Fine, we'll fight at team 7's old training ground." replied Sasuke as a swirl of leaves surrounded him.

'Well I can't fight in these clothes." said Naruto.

He looked in his closet and saw the basic Jounin outfit. He grabbed the gloves, sandals and vest, and put them on. Then he took a weapons pouch and secured it around his waste. Lastly, he gathered chakra to his hand and reached into his stomach and pulled out a scroll. Smiling, he secured Nisshou on his back and made his way towards team 7's old training grounds.

Team 7 Training Grounds-

'What took you so long?" asked Sasuke when he saw Naruto walk over.

'Just getting ready." he replied.

'Let's go." said Sasuke.

'Let's." said Naruto disappearing.

"Where'd you go!" screamed Sasuke looking around.

Alright, thought Naruto, this is bad. I have a chuunin's chakra span, no contact with Kyuubi and I'm facing sharingan. Looks like I'm going to use my brain on this one. Jumping out of the tree, with his sword above his head, Naruto sliced Sasuke in half.

Grinning, Naruto jumped in the air, knowing that it had been a clone.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!" yelled Sasuke shooting out a fireball from his mouth.

"Water Style: Destruction Torrent Jutsu!" yelled Naruto Gathering water in his hand and slamming against the fireball.

BOOM

From where the jutsus had collided a huge gust of mist shot out, covering the battle field. Naruto saw Sasuke's figure running towards him, chidori in hand. Putting his hand in the ram sign he yelled:

"Water Style: Large Projectile Jutsu!"

A jet of water knocked Sasuke right of his feet. Getting back up he started up chidori and ran towards Naruto. As he was running he noticed something. When the explosion occurred it had ripped Naruto's shirt, where you could see the demonic seal showing. He cursed.

Naruto was weakened and beating him. Oh well, after this, there will be no more Naruto. Activating his sharingan he was about to stab Naruto when he saw something. It was a clone. He turned around to try and protect himself but was too late. The real Naruto, and his Rasengan, collided into Sasuke.

The last thing he saw was Naruto, not a scratch on him, standing over him. Leaning over towards Sasuke's twitching figure, Naruto spit on him.

"Who's the dobe know?" said Naruto as Sasuke fell into unconsciousness.

Hokage Secret Archives-

Where was it? She was sure it was hidden down here, it had to be. The secret archive contained every forbidden jutsu ever invented in Konoha. She had started at the beginning and now she was at the end. She began reading the titles of the scrolls out loud.

"Demonic and heavenly swords, nope. Dark Sealing Jutsu, nope. There's nothing!" Sakura yelled.

She continued to look around for a few more hours. She was beginning to wonder where it was until she saw a strange marking in the wall. Channeling her chakra into it the wall disappeared and a room reappeared in its place. In the middle, on a pedestal, stood a book. She opened it, and read the first sentence.

Today, I Namikaze Minato will become the fourth Hokage.

Sakura dropped the book and gasped. She had found the Fourth's diary, and possibly, the answer to her problems.

Team 7 Training Grounds-

He couldn't believe it; the dobe had beaten him, he ad lost. This made Sasuke furious. He had been weakened and still beaten him. He was an Uchiha, this was not acceptable. Of course Sasuke had been holding back too. The curse seal was under check.

Still, he was too stupid to realize he had been fighting a clone. He never even landed a punch on the clone more or less the real Naruto. He was furious, and a mad Uchiha is a bad Uchiha. He made a hundreds of shadow clones and transformed them into Naruto's. He then charged up his chidori and went wild.

After a couple hours of doing this he was tired, but still angry, the clones continued to taunt him. He felt his anger rising, and the curse mark began to grow, until it covered his entire being. He started up a Dark Chidori and charged.

Unknown to him a pair of yellow eyes were watching him with a great interest. Soon Sasuke-kun, soon, thought the man as he watched Sasuke slaughter the clones. The man's grin grew wider. Soon Sasuke-kun, your eyes will be mine!

A.N. – Not one of my longer chapter, but I think it was pretty good. By that last sentence you probably guessed who was watching him, but if not, I really couldn't care less, you'll find out later. This is actually the first time in a while that I didn't finish the chapter a week before it was due, Oh well. Keep an eye out for the revised chapter 3 on Monday, at around 4 o'clock. (9/28/07)

Ranting Corner:

WARNING SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT.

Chapter 372 was really good. We learned a little about more about how sadistic Orochimaru was and that Pein can murder chuunin's at age eight. But seriously, the flashback chapters are pretty cool. The only thing bad about this one was that it ended at freaking worst time, I mean what the hell? Also remember, everyone that is reading this, whatever this kid had, Kurenai has it too. See ya next week. (9/29/07)
