When Sasuke opened his eyes, he felt sick. But he doesn't want to rest, he felt like he's forgetting something important and if he sleep again he won't remember it. Rest." a voice said softly. "No, I...don't..." but even if he says that, he can't fight off the urge to close his eyes again. Soon after he fell asleep.

(Silence)
'Where am I?" thought Sasuke as he stood in the middle of darkness.

"You certainly are a troublesome" said a voice. "Who are you !" Sasuke narrowed his eyes and looked around but he can't locate the voice. Everywhere around him is darkness and the voice came from every corner. "So, you can't see me huh. Interesting?" mused the voice. "Looks like you're still not ready yet so I can't do anything about it" sighed the voice. "It's better this way but... "

Suddenly the place that sasuke was standing is glowing bright. "I don't have much time." said the voice. A hand came in front of him and blocked his eyes 'I hope this works'. "This is gonna hurt." warned the voice. Then pain suddenly went to his eyes and Sasuke scream.

"..." the pain was unimaginable. It was like having the very essence of your soul sucked forcefully away from you. When the pain finally fade the hand that blocked his eyes slowly went to his forehead. Sasuke tensed thinking that something bad's gonna happen again. But this time he felt something else, it's almost as if...

"This is the only thing I can do for you, Sasuke. It's not perfect but at least it's better than nothing." The hand retreated and slowly a figure appears. Sasuke couldn't see clearly but somehow he felt familiar. *Sasu.., ... f..g.t N...t.." The light that surrounded him grew brighter and soon the darkness in front of him disappears.

Sasuke shot opened his eyes and immediately regretted it. His eyes hurt like hell. After his eyes adjusted, he carefully looked at his surroundings. He's in a Japanese themed room and is sleeping on a futon. On his side there's a slide door that opens halfway and he can see a garden on the other side. After making sure no one's around, he got up. He went through the door that leads to the garden.

Sasuke went to the pond in the middle of the garden. 'There a lot of Koi fish... !' Sasuke widened his eyes when he saw his reflection. His eyes were RED.

Back with Naruto

Naruto's in his inner world. It's raining heavily there. Naruto sat at the fourth's stone head and watched the village. Rain is pouring down on him but he paid them no mind. He just sat there and stare.

Dark Naruto appear behind him. "You should get over it" growled Dark Naruto. "You're better than this! Don't tell me that all that speech about aiming higher is just all talk.""I was scared."said Naruto softly. Dark Naruto stopped ranting and tried to comfort "I know. But look... Nothing happened ok." sigh 'and if something did happened, both Kyuubi and I would have killed them' he thought darkly. Kyuubi agreed.

"I'm useless! I was a shinobi! I couldn't even take care of a few thugs. I'm so weak." Naruto looked down at his lap. His hair was flattened and water is dripping down. "I was supposed to be able to handle situation like this but why?" Naruto looked at the sky. "When did I become this weak?"

"(sigh)Look, you were shocked and scared at that time and these emotions mess with your brain ok. I know cause I can fell most of them too." the sky started to clear up a little. 'Finally' "The point is that are you gonna stay in here and mopped the whole day or decided to do something about it?"

The sky slowly turned sunny again and Naruto stood up. "I'm gonna train."

Back with Sasuke

'What the... Sasuke stare at his reflection longer, trying to see if this is a trick or not. But, the longer he stare, the more painful his eyes get. Sasuke looked at the fishes and was shocked. The fishes were moving a lot slower and he can almost predict their next movement. Sasuke was fascinated but he couldn't keep this up. Soon his eyes hurt so bad that blood started to drip down. He closed his eyes and relaxed himself. He began to feel very tired. Soon the pain fade away and when he open his eyes he saw a girl running towards him. The girl stopped in front of him and glared. "What do you think you're doing? You need to rest, your body still haven't adjusted yet."

"I appreciate that you helped me but I need to go." With that he tried to turn and leave. The girl immediately grab his his arm "But you're bleeding!""I'm fine" he scoffed and tried to move away again. But he stopped when he saw a figure appear in front of him. His muscle instantly tensed. Even though his body is protesting, he couldn't afford to relax in front of this person. His instinct tells him that this man is dangerous. He tensed his muscle and prepare for fight or flight situation. He hoped for the second option, his body is tired.

"What seemes to be the problem Rukia?""Nii-sama, you're back." the girl answered happily.

Uh let me explain. Naruto in here is not super naruto or anything. He needs to gain strenght by his own. So he's basically has no no sword fighting skill at all and he will often cut himself up (snicker). Kyuubi and Dark Naruto won't help him fight his battle.

As for sasuke, he got his sharingan but it is only its most basic form (1 tomoe only).Oh as for the image, Sasuke has red eyes not black and the tomoe will appear when he activates it.
