All right, I must thank my fans (or, fan) for the great reviews (all right, review). I love people who give me good reviews, so at the beginning of every chapter, I honor everyone who enjoys this story (and has an account). My personal thanks to UchihaHinata2210. Keep 'em coming, people!

Chapter One: The Demon Link
Uchiha Sasuke once again looked at the mass of people and saw exactly what he expected. People were whispering and pointing in his direction. He once again ignored them. What did they matter? They were just people who were of no importance. He had a greater goal.
Sasuke was a tall, pale boy, with spiky, black hair. He wore a blue shirt, with the Uchiha paper fan symbol on the back, and white shorts. He also had a leaf headband, with the familiar spiral symbol on it. The most striking thing about his face was the six whisker marks on his face. No one had ever explained it, because no one wanted to talk to him. He couldn't have asked his family. They were all dead, except Itachi. The name bought a foul taste to his mouth. He whispered it with distaste.
"Itachi."
Uchiha Itachi. The one he wanted to kill. He looked at his hands. The same hands that Sasuke knew would soon be stained with Itachi's blood.
He stopped at the Ichiraku Noodle Shop. It wasn't his favorite place to be, but he was hungry. He looked at the other customers and noted one with mild distaste.
Uzumaki Naruto.
Naruto was relatively well liked, but not the most popular. That was Ino. He was on Kurenai Yuhi's Team 8, with Inuzuka Kiba and Yamanaka Ino. Sasuke was paired on Team 10, with Master Asuma, and his teammates, Hinata Hyuga and Akimichi Choji.
Naruto wore an orange jumpsuit and had spiky hair. People told him that he looked just like the Fourth Hokage, something he liked very much. He greedily slurped up the ramen. Sasuke knew Naruto was a regular here. It still wasn't very good to see him.
Sasuke detested him.
Things always seemed to go Naruto's way. He got good ninja grades, was popular with many people, as he had Rock Lee and Kiba among his personal friends, and passed the exam without any trouble at all. He had an incredible aptitude for ninjutsu. He was also was very clever and very strategic in battles, a trait that rubbed off from Shikamaru.
Sasuke finished his ramen quickly and left. He had to rest. Tomorrow was his first ninja meet.
This chapter was mainly for background information. As you can see, the teams are different. This is because Naruto has a different skill level than the normal series. Without the Kyubi inside of him, his grades didn't suck. Therefore, because teams are organized according to grades, it shifted the balance. Naruto is now pretty popular and has no whisker marks. Also, Sasuke still has good grades. He just uses Sharingan to copy other students. Because of the Kyubi's charka, Sasuke unlocked the Sharingan at age 8, and both his eyes are at level 3. I hope this isn't too long-winded. Keep the reviews coming!
I know I said my gaps were two weeks, and it's been one week, but I got an opportunity, and I grabbed it. That's why this chapter is (slightly) shorter.
