I do not own Naruto

First fic, please be nice! Uh, might have pairings, always been a fan of NaruHina, but hey, if you have a preference, vote or something…I don't know.

Thx for all the reviews! It really made my day! And without further ado….

Chapter One

"This place….is called the Valley of the End. Isn't this the perfect stage? Right Naruto?" taunted Sasuke as they stood on opposite sides of the waterfall at the Valley of the End. "That's right. I said the time for talk is over. This battle…lets finish this now!" (A/N: This little dialogue sequence is directly from the anime, just don't want to take credit that's not due…)

They both began to charge up their ultimate jutsus, preparing to end the battle with a bang. A blue orb appeared in Naruto's hand, and a dark lightning began to strike outwards from Sasuke's palm. They both leapt at each other, unimaginable power held in both of their hands.

"Rasengan!"

"Chidori!"

As the two attacks collided, Naruto began to doubt himself. I…I can't kill Sasuke…I promised Sakura...how could I ever show my face to Sakura-chan again if I kill him?

"Human, your incessant whining annoys me. No matter how much your precious "Sakura-chan" will be hurt; the black haired one will die today. I'm not about to get killed because some pink haired wimp will be sad. You humans and your emotions…pitiful."

Kyuubi! Don't kill him! You can't! You…won't! Naruto fought an internal battle against Kyuubi's influence. An internal battle that Naruto eventually won against his more ruthless counterpart. But this battle caused Naruto to lose control of what he was doing, allowing Sasuke to pierce his lung with his Chidori. However, in the process, Naruto's Rasengan flew towards Sasuke's head.

No! I've got to…stop…the chakra flow to my hand…There! The Rasengan dissipated, and Naruto's claw slashed a single mark through, rather than obliterating, the symbol of the Hidden Village that they had both grown up in.

I hate you humans…this is going to be a pain in the ass to keep you from dying you pathetic excuse for a ninja. That is, if the raven haired boy doesn't finish you here and now, which would be the smart thing to do…and another thing…

Naruto let the demon in him continue to complain while he drifted out of consciousness.

Sasuke stood over the defeated Naruto with a shimmer of regret. He looked at his friend as he lay lifeless on the ground with a sizeable hole in his chest where his lung should have been. Naruto...why did you have to make this so hard? NO! I can't think like that. I…am still weak. But...Orochimaru will change that. I WILL get power. You just wait Itachi. I...I...hate you Naruto. Always meddling in affairs that are none of your concern. You're next after my brother.

Suddenly, Sasuke felt a presence behind him and instinctively jumped to the side. A man wearing a straw hat flew by, holding in front of him a startling attack.

The Rasengan? But...but...how? Who is this man?

"Identify yourself!" commanded Sasuke, with a hint of doubt in his voice.

The man's only response was to shift into a taijutsu stance that Sasuke had never encountered before.

Well, if it's a fight he wants, it's a fight he's going to get!

Sasuke slid into his own taijutsu stance, still tired from his battle with Naruto. I have to finish this fast, I won't be able to fight at a high level for very long...I hope this guy isn't very good, otherwise I'm in trouble... Sasuke activated his Sharingan.

"You should know who you're dealing with before we fight! I am one of the only two remaining Uchiha! Be prepared to battle with the Sharingan!" cried Sasuke confidently. The three marks circled around his pupil.

Again, the man stayed silent, but reached for his forehead protector. When he lifted it up, Sasuke's eye's widened in surprise.

A...a...Sharingan eye! But...how! "I don't know where you got that, but I WILL kill you!" shouted Sasuke as he dashed towards the man, his rage getting the better of him.

The man stayed completely still, until Sasuke was almost directly upon him. He sidestepped Sasuke's kick, and delivered on of his own, swinging his foot from above Sasuke, crushing him into the earth, leaving a crater.

Shit...this is bad... Sasuke quickly rose, only to be kicked into the ground the same way before he could move out of the way, deepening the crater. Extremely bad.

The man stood impassively above the prostrate form of Sasuke, and lifted his right hand. He made some one handed seals with his left hand, and thrust his hand towards Sasuke. It connected with his neck, more accurately, Sasuke's curse seal, causing him to scream in agony as it was forcibly removed. Sasuke slumped down to the ground, darkness engulfing his field of vision.

"Who…are…you? Where do you get…your power?" muttered Sasuke with his last piece of energy.

"That should do it..." muttered the older Naruto. "You were such an idiot back then…err, now, err…whatever…"

Suddenly Naruto's arm began to fade.

"Ah, there we go. History has been changed. And I am beginning to cease to…" And with that, he was gone, leaving two exhausted genin lying at the Valley of the End.
