Thanks for all your reviews! :D

Alright here is a new chapter for everybody hope you like it! ;)

Chapter 3: Second Chance

Naruto lowered Sasuke to the ground so he wouldn't fall and just stared for a moment, he could hardly believe it. He had done it, finally he had beaten Sasuke. His class's number one rookie, his teammate, his rival… and once even his best friend. The blond had been trying for as long as he could remember to beat Sasuke at something, anything and now… it just had to happen like this.

The young Sage sighed as he went to tying the other teen up, careful to make sure they wouldn't be gotten out of easily. Then he pulled out two seals he had made just for this occasion, and put one on each side of the last Uchiha's chest from his open black shirt. One would paralyze Sasuke and the other would keep him from molding chakra.

As he felt his Sage powers leave him, Naruto looked back down at Sasuke again and let out a breath feeling tired. It would be so easy to just take him back to Konoha right now; he probably wouldn't even wake up before they got there. The blond's eyes narrowed. No, he wouldn't do that. The village would still be in danger with one of the two last Jinchuuriki being there and Sasuke wouldn't ever be free again, if he wasn't flat out executed.

Naruto used his favorite jutsu making five clones, which almost made him fall to his knees panting after the battle he'd just fought but he managed to stay up right. The clones grabbed Sasuke and brought him across the lake to the Shodai Hokage's side of the valley. Where there was a more open spot with less rubble from the attacks that had damaged most the area in some way. The original followed slower trying to regain some of his energy.

After the clones set Sasuke down Naruto threw them a scroll with supplies in it, and they got to work creating a massive array around the last Uchiha. About an hour later Sasuke started to stir and blurrily opened his eyes to six Narutos, now if he hadn't seen it before he would have thought he hit his head harder than usual. Instead he tried to focus on the real one which he was pretty sure was the one meditating as the others worked… drawing some kind of seal? Around him; 'Not good.' was his first thought seeing that.

Naruto opened his eyes a moment after he sensed Sasuke start to wake up. Thanks to the Kyuubi and the meditation he was taught by the toads he was almost back to his normal charka level, though his body was still fairly tired. The blond looked at his clones' handy work, it was almost done. He stood up and looked over all the details carefully to make sure there were no mistakes. Because even the slightest wrong loop here or too big a smudge there could be disastrous.

"What are you doing? I would have thought you'd have me half way to Konoha by now." Sasuke ask getting frustrated with the seals on his chest that he realized was keeping him from moving much besides his head, as he was lying on his back. The blond turned to him and frowned when he said Konoha.

"No, I'm not taking you back there, at least not for a long while." Naruto said in thought walking over and crouching by the other boy. Now Sasuke was nervous, just what did he plan to do with him then? "You've made that impossible, with how you tried to capture Bee and take him to Akatsuki. And Then attacking the Kage summit meeting. No one would just let you 'come back' and honestly I don't think you would make it easy…" The blond teen paused as Sasuke made no indication otherwise.

"Even if I got Baa-chan to refuse to execute you, and the other countries to stay out of your case as you are officially Konoha's responsibility. You would still most likely be a prisoner the rest of your life…" Naruto spoke as if he had thought about it for a long time, and stood up brushing himself off as he finished.

"Then why? If you know it's a lost cause why did you even come?" The dark haired teen asked with no emotion, back behind his carefully made blank mask of indifference. Naruto looked away slightly up toward the sky but answered.

"Because I promised I would… and because there is always another way." At the end the Jinchuuriki turned back and looked at him grinning like a fox about to play a trick. Suddenly he remembered what his brother said 'despite everything you will keep your promise, however unorthodox the method.' Though his face showed nothing Sasuke was really starting to worry, looking the best he could without being able to move at what the clones were making.

"Just what is it you plan to do with me, Usuratonkachi?" Sasuke glared putting a bit of venom in his words, at feeling helpless because he couldn't move, angry at himself for loosing and nervous about just what Naruto thought he was doing. The other boy didn't know whether to glare or grin at the insult; it had been a while since he heard it… well from Sasuke anyway. He smirked.

"I am going to give you a second chance, well more like a new first chance. If this works right that is, otherwise I might just kill us both trying!" Naruto put a hand behind his head chuckling as Sasuke deadpanned; pretty sure it would be the second one. He decided to focus on the first one instead though, even as the clones dispelled signaling they were done.

"What do you mean 'new first chance,' that makes no sense." Sasuke asked back annoyance clearly in his tone. Naruto was walking around him inspecting the large seal under him. Once he made a full circle and got back in front of his captive audience he made a small humming noise remembering what he had been asked, as Sasuke's eye twitched slightly in annoyance.

"Well you'll probably freak out, but I meant just what I said. You won't remember this life or what happen to your family, you won't be looking for revenge…" Naruto paused as he saw his once best friend's carefully blank face become angry at the word family; he could feel the killer intent in the air. "And if it works right you will look a bit different, so no one will ever guess that it's still you." finished the blond as he knelt down by the large seal and started going through hand signs.

"What gives you the right to do this! Naruto!" Sasuke yelled losing his composure as he saw the hand signs. Even without his Sharingan he watched and noticed that they had been in order. How they're meant to be, but after the going through all twelve hand signs the blond started doing them backwards from last to first. "What if this isn't what I want!" he screamed again, the other boy looked at him.

"It is. You won't be alone anymore; you'll have people that care about you. The only thing you have left now, after what you've done is imprisonment or death." Naruto said quietly concentrating on the jutsu. Sasuke went silent at that, he honestly could say he didn't want that, but it was too late wasn't it?

"Why? Why do you go so far for me, even after what I've done?" the captive teen asked now looking up at the blond in complete confusion. Naruto smirked remembering very similar words coming from his friend three years ago in the same place.

"I told you before; you were my first real friend Sasuke." Naruto looked up briefly to see his friend still looking just as confused as before, their eyes locked. Then he looked back down as he finished the hand signs and called out the name of his newest jutsu, one he'd spent more time on than any other jutsu.

"Shin Seikatsu Jutsu! (New Life Jutsu!)" Naruto called out slamming both his hands down on the seal and pushing his chakra into it, as Sasuke's head shot up hearing the jutsu's name. The large seal began glowing a bright blue as the young sage pumped even more of his chakra into it, making sure it was only his and not Kyuubi's. This was far too important for him to use such vicious chakra.

After a few minutes, that Naruto would swear felt like hours, he was sweating as he continually pushed his chakra into the combined jutsu and seal. The glowing seal marks were slowly crawling up Sasuke's body and the teen's jaw clenched as the burning chakra from the seals moved on his skin. Sasuke felt his body contracting like he was shrinking and panicked though he knew it was much too late to do anything.

Naruto saw his old teammate getting smaller and felt relief; he thought he actually might run out of chakra before it was done. He still had only about half his chakra left though so it would be cutting it close, but he should just make it. The blond started to smirk when Sasuke had regressed to the intended age but stopped and concentrated back on his task. He had already made Sasuke forget everything after the age he had turned him back to but he still had to change him a bit so he wouldn't look the same.

The young sage's eyes narrowed as he shifted the position of his hands on the seal, and focused his chakra so it was more precise and controlled; messing with genetics was very risky. He had made it not as dangerous by going around certain parts that were harder but it was still tricky. However he was using the DNA from the blood seal to do it, the blood was of course Naruto's own it wasn't like he could use that much of someone else's and seal was large. Even if he could they'd want to know why.

As he was trying to manipulate Sasuke's DNA however something went wrong. The seal started pulling more of his chakra, and quickly. Naruto hadn't done anything to change Sasuke's genetic makeup yet so he pulled back and tried to not panic long enough to figure out what was wrong. The large intergraded seal on and around the other boy was pulsing a very bright blue now and the blond couldn't make it stop sucking out his chakra.

Then it tried to pull on the Kyuubi's chakra and Naruto harshly smash the fox's presence back down, the malevolent energy disappearing quicker than it had started to come. 'I am too close and will NOT let that damn fox ruin it now; I just have to get the seal back under control.' Naruto thought struggling with his unique creation.

The blond's attention snapped up to the other boy when he realize part of his chakra wasn't going straight to the Uchiha… it was going next to him, and now glowing brighter than the rest of the seal almost white. His chakra was almost gone now, but just before he blacked out from exhaustion the seal glowed even brighter so that he couldn't see and let out vortex of pressurized power. It hadn't hit Naruto as he was partly in the seal but everything around them looked like a bomb had gone off. Then Naruto collapsed unconscious as the seal finally stopped taking his energy.
