Ok I want to thank every single one of you for your votes and reviews for my last couple chapter. The pairings with the highest votes are as followed.
Anko-6
Hanabi-4
Temari-3
And the rest got one vote. So as it stands Anko is in the lead followed closely by Hanabi and then Temari. Personally I was thinking about doing the Naruto Anko pairing from the start because they both will have the some what same personalities in my story. Naruto being dark and blood thirsty and Anko being the sweet sadist blood loving girl like in the anime. LoL I will continue the voting pool till the end of this chapter so we will know who you all decide on for the pairing.
Well I think I have delayed you long enough. Note that I suck at putting quotations in the right spot which all of you have already told me about or have found out for yourself. Please don't kill me just for that. I am working on that. I have already gone and fixed some of the first and second chapters a little bit. They are still not 100 correct but they are better then what they were.
I do not Own Naruto.
So now on with the story.
Naruto's mindscape.
It was dark and cold. There was water and everywhere and a very long tunnel in front of Naruto.
"No, I can't believe I am back here again." "What happened last night to cause me to wake up in here of all places" thought Naruto? Then he remembered. Naruto remembered everything that happened from the completion of his mission to the Uchiha massacre and then to the fight with him and Itachi. It was then that Naruto felt the full weight of what happened. "I was not strong enough to say you mother, I was not strong
enough to avenge you I was just not strong enough" says Naruto. 'It was all my fault, everything is always my fault" Naruto screamed.
Noooooooooooo it wasn't my fault, it was Itachi's he is the one to blame for Kassans death and he will be the one to pay said the now talking Naruto.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Naruto turned his head toward the sound of the laughter and started following the sound.
Naruto came upon a large room with a huge cage and a giant piece of paper with the word SEAL on it. Naruto was mentally preparing himself for the tongue lashing he was about to receive for he was in the foxes den now. There behind to the bars stood the greatest demon the Nine Tailed Fox the Kyuubi.
It's good to see you again little human how many years has it been three or two, time really does fly does it not human said the Kyuubi in a very sarcastic tone.
Naruto only stared at the demon something the Kyuubi thought was very disrespectful to do.
You are even more pathetic now then the last time I have seen you boy roared the Kyuubi. Imagine my surprise when I see you get your ass handed to you by your very own cousin, but then again I am not to surprised that it happened. If only you had taken my very generous offer when you where so upset over the fact that you killed your best friend Kaji was it not?
Yes I think that was it Kaji Uchiha, your best friend the one you killed remember him said the now smiling demon?
"Naruto couldn't take it anymore, you couldn't deal with the fact that the most powerful being in the world was insulting him and bringing one of his worst memories at the same tme".
Shut up you bastard yelled Naruto. Fuck you. What do you know about anything your just a stupid fox that was sealed away and forgotten by the rest of the world. Your even more hopeless then I am because you're the one sealed inside of me. Naruto was now shaking in rage and breathing very hard because of his outburst.
Naruto thought that the Kyuubi would be a little bit pissed off but he was not expecting him to actually respond like he did.
HAHAHAHAHAHA. So the little human has a back bone after all I see. That's very good Naruto-kun. You have much rage in your heart but how will you use if I wonder?
What are you talking about asked Naruto as he was starting to calm back down?
Ahh the age old question well I am about to offer the same deal that was offered to you the last time you where here. I am offering you my power and help for you. With me at your side you will be the greatest and you will have the power to avenge your mother and kill all you appose you in the future. So Naruto what is your choice this time, will you turn down my offer like you did last time we all know what will happen to you if you do not accept?
Kyuubi was smiling, her offer was not going to be denied now, not after all the events that took place last night.
Why should I trust you, how do I know this is not just a trick Naruto said? "On the outside Naruto sounds like he is going to turn down the offer but on the inside he was thinking of all of the possibilities he could do with Kyuubis chakra".
Have I ever lied to you? Have I ever given you a reason to think ill toward me Naruto-kun said the Kyuubi?
After battling his conscious Naruto realized that he was never been be betrayed by the Kyuubi even though they have only met twice but on both occasions the Kyuubi spoke to him and did not demand anything at all accept for respect.
Power? Is power really worth selling your soul to the devil for? No it is not been sometimes there are exceptions and today is one of them.
So Naruto spoke with and unwavering voice of determination to the Kyuubi, "yes I will accept your offer for power Kyuubi-sama". The Kyuubi gave off the biggest grin it could before sending her tails filled with chakra into Naruto.
Naruto screamed and screamed for what felt like hours. Years of knowledge and the demons chakra going through him was to much to handle before he passed out from the pain.
…….Konoha Hospital……
Naruto awoke from his dream and looked around his room trying to get an idea of where he was but all he noticed was the white walls and many machines hooked up to his body.
He immediately started unhooking himself and started to get out of the bed till he heard the door open up and in walked in the Sandaime smiling at Naruto.
Its good to see that you are finally up Naruto spoke the Third softly. How long have I been out for Hokage-sama asked the young ninja? You have been out for three weeks said the Third sadly.
I see was all the Hokage heard in reply. Naruto about the attack the Third began but was soon cut off as Naruto singled for him to stop.
There is nothing to talk about Hokage-sama, what is done is done and nothing will be able to change what has happened. The Third frowned at Narutos blunt reply but said nothing because he knew that Naruto was right "there was nothing they could do".
How many survived Hokage-sama asked Naruto in a weak voice? There are only three survivors Naruto-kun. They are you, Itachi and Sasuke the last of the Uchiha clan.
Itachi as you know has left the village and Sasuke, well Sasuke is not taking the deaths very well. That is understandable for someone to feel like he does Hokage-sama but his problems are his own not mine was Narutos harsh reply as he began to get dress in his standard Anbu uniform that he found in the closet.
Well then Naruto what are you going to do to get over this tragedy?
Naruto finished getting dress before answering his kage. I will train and push myself to the limits, my fight with Itachi shows that I have a long way to go to becoming a strong ninja.
I am cutting off all ties with my "family" Hokage-sama they are all dead to me and I will now just be another Anbu member looking through the world in a mask. Naruto Uchiha is dead and now here stands an Anbu member with code name Phoenix said Naruto in a very dark and deep voice.
The Third was shocked to the core by Narutos words but he knew that this would be Narutos way of getting over his grief but that didn't mean he had to like it. The Third sighed, "why is my job so freaking hard"?
Well Naruto I just hope that you will be ok said Sarutobi.
Thank you Hokage-sama and with that Naruto left the hospital room. "Its time to train and no one is going to hold me back from reaching my ultimate goal, no more distractions just training" or so Naruto thought as he went to one of the training grounds.
Ok the chapter is now over. I know there wasn't much going on in this one but this was the last chapter before the time skip comes into place. At the end of the time skip everyone one will be Four years older.
Naruto will be 15
Sasuke and the rest of the cannon characters will be 12.
So what did everyone think of this chapter? Was it any good or should I just throw it away and write a new one up even though this took over an hour to write. "I just couldn't think of anything to write about before the time skip. Lol I know that's really sad but it's the truth.
This is the last chapter till voting for the pairings stop so be sure to send in your reviews and votes.
Please review and tell me what you think of this story so far. Bye. Seeya in a couple of days. P.S. Its my birthday tomorrow and I will be 17 and most likely I am going to get drunk and party my ass off.
