Sasuke ran to the first person he believed powerful enough to save them both, the third Hokage. As it was gone midnight most of the village was asleep, so Sasuke ran through the Leaf unnoticed, as did the glowing eyes that shadowed him, all the way, shedding tears all the way. Itachi sat on a rooftop, crying silently, as Sasuke climbed the stairs to home of the Hokage, he turned to leave the village, with one final look back and a whisper. "I'm sorry it came to this Naruto, Sasuke, perhaps one day you'll understand, I only wish I could survive to see that day though."
Meanwhile Sasuke stumbled into the Hokage's office, bawling his eyes out, Naruto still on his back, "L-Lord H-H-Hokage, Itachi...Naruto...Uchiha..." and with he passed out from shock and exhaustion, the Third smiled, kindly but sadly as he picked the pair of them up and began to carry them to the hospital, "I know child... I know"
When Sasuke came to, he awoke to Naruto's face beaming at him, "N-Naruto, you're alright..."
"Yeah I am Sasuke, get some rest now, okay?"At this Sasuke passed out again and Naruto turned to the medical Ninja who was caring for them both. "Will my brother be ok sir?" The doctor turned to him and in a gentle, kind voice said, "of course he will, he's got the best doctors in all the five nations looking after him" Naruto sighed loudly with relief, before hugging the doctor tightly "thanks sir. Sasuke you're going to be ok now." Naruto decided to get some training in while sasuke rested so he wandered outside, where he saw a pale young girl being picked on by a group of young boys. "I bet she thinks she's so much better than us." "yeah stupid Hyuuga" one said as he pushed her over. the girl stuttered "n-no i-i-i d-don't think dont think that at all." At this the boy raised his fist, yelling "LIAR," only for a puff of smoke to appear behind him and a hand to grab the pulled back fist. "Leave her alone." Suddenly they were surrounded by dozens of Narutos and from a short distance the words "MULTI SHADOW CLONE JUTSU" were shouted. The first clone whispered in the ear of the boy whos arm he had caught. "You best run... or else..." Naturally they did as they were told.
Naruto released the jutsu as he walked over to the cowering young Hyuuga, she crawled away, terrified that this boy was here to hurt her too. When he reahed her she had backed herself againsted a tree, whispering queilty "no-no-no-no I can't take anymore, I-" she chose now to look up and there was Naruto's hand to help her up, whih she tentatively accepted.""Hi my name's Naruto Uchiha, whats your's?" said Naruto cheerily. The girl stammered out "H-Hinat-t-ta H-H-Hyuuga, t-t-thank you for saving me," with this she bowed. Naruto grinned "You can count on me Hinata, I wont let you down!" The young Hyuuga blushed "T-thank you N-Naruto." With that Naruto took off into the woods.
He continued until he reached a large clearing upon reaching it he sat down to reminisce as he always did before he trained.
-FLASHBACK-
Naruto and Sasuke were snickering, in the Hokage's compound as yet another Jonin passed them pretending not to notice, thinking they were probably only there to do a little graffiti or something and that he didnt want to be the one to wait around while they cleaned up. But their real objective was much more important, the Scroll of Sealing. The scroll containing all the jutsu of the Hidden Leaf village. The scroll they were going to steal. They slowly slipped out of their hiding spot, going unchallenged all the way to the office of the hokage. The only guard at the door at the time was Mizuki and he was apparently away from his post, both boys wondered why there wasnt a guard, but decided to press on regardless, they disarmed the traps surrounding the scroll, not noticing the relative ease they were doing it with nor the lack of guards in the place. They ran with the scroll as soon as they were through the traps, getting as far as they could, out into the forest of death they ran with it, and once they were there, they opened the scroll up, and began working, Sasuke taught himself the Fire Style: Multiple Fireball and Great Wave Of Fire jutsu, Naruto learned the Fire Style: Infernal Tornado, and Wind Style: Air Blade jutsu, both of them learned the Shadow Clone jutsu, though Naruto was far more capable with it than Sasuke. They couldnt figure out why, they assumed it was simply Naruto's specialty, in spite of him failing on it in the exams multiple times, by the time they got caugh thy had mastered their chosen jutsu to the point that the jonin that found them couldnt help but be impressed.
