Btw: italics are flashbacks or what's going on in a characters head (usually naruto's)

Kakashi scolded them once more. The three of them stood next to eachother for the first time in the test. Although they were broken, beaten, and scarred, Kakashi had to admit they looked stronger than ever together. Or were they just too tired to move away from one another?

"You three are starting to get the hang of it, maybe you will become genin one day." Kakashi said.

"The hang of what? We just get pushed around by you and your stupid book. By the way, what's in that book?" inquired the queer, but cunning, Sasuke Uchiha.

Naruto laughed, Sakura didn't seem to understand what was so funny. Good thing.

...

"Naruto!!" Iruka shouted, then cried out in pain.

Naruto looked up to find blood drip in his face. Iruka had taken the hit of the huge shurikan to save Naruto.

Mizuki barked what he thought about this immediately, " Why would you save the one that killed you parents, the damned Nine--"

"Because Naruto isn't the --! He's different." cried Iruka.

...

This memory was different from the rest. Although the previous were full of action, this one felt different. The air was full of mist, and Sasuke was dead on the ground. The masked boy stood there, missing half of his mask. Naruto looked at Sasuke, then the boy. A huge amount of chakra and anger arose. Naruto could feel his humanity slipping slighty away. Then his chakra turned flaming orange.

"The seal, it's loosening!" gasped Kakashi, stained with blood.

...

Naruto crept next to Tsunade's office, hoping to hear what they had to say about him.

"Naruto is simply just growing faster than the loosening of the -- seal," said Tsunade.

"But won't that help him? That way he's ahead of the --," asked Shizune.

"Well the only reason he's progressing is because of Sasuke. By delaying the release of the -- from Naruto's body, we are creating a huge problem with Sasuke. It seems he's going to attempt to kill Naruto for the Mangekyo Sharingan. I know about this because I am the Hokage...What did you think I would just be Hokage without checking out what has changed? Well, the Uchiha's being killed is a big thing, so I checked everywhere. I found a secret chamber in one of the shrines. There they explain too much for simple beings like us to understand. The most important thing was how to obtain the Mangekyo Sharingan. There are three ways, but the first one has been the most popular out of the 3 people with the Mangekyo. It states you must kill your best friend," Tsunade breathed after reciting her monologue.

Shizune had nothing else to ask, but Naruto did.

...

"Naruto wake up!"

Wha..?

"NARUTO!!"

This time he woke up and recognized the voice, it was Tsunade's. He jumped upright out of the bed, realizing soon after he was just in his boxers.

"See he wasn't in a coma anymore, he was just sleeping," preached Tsunade with a smug look on her face.

Naruto looked around the room. There was Tsunade, Sakura, Kakashi, Sasuke, and lastly that girl that knocked Naruto down. A second later Sakura laughed, Kakashi sighed, Sasuke thought Idiot, and the girl with the pale eyes blushed and chuckled.

"Hahahahe, Naruto you're in your boxers, was this a surprise for Sasuke?" giggled Sakura.

"Wait Sasuke you're alive!?"

"Of course you idiot, why wouldn't I be, if anyone you should be dead!" Sasuke was losing his temper because he was staring at Naruto's freaking hair. His hair had grown to almost be a foot long, and it was all over the place.

"I had a dream, that you died..." Naruto stopped. He felt like he knew these people, but he honestly was just saying what his insticts told him, he had no idea how anyone would react.

"Ok guys, Naruto's pretty messed up I think we should leave," sighed Kakashi.

They all left wishing Naruto well. All except Tsunade and the pale girl.

"I-I'm sorry Naruto," whispered the girl's small voice.

"It's all good, it was an accident."

"Well accident or not Naruto, we have a bunch of things to discuss," Tsunade commanded that the girl with the eyes leave the room.

"What's up...Tsunade?" Naruto guessed.

"Maybe that blow to the head screwed up your memory..."

"No, I remember more now that I've been asleep."

"You mean to say that you've lost your memory a long time ago?"

"For as long as I remember," Naruto scratched his head in anxiety, an instict his brain was picking up.

Tsunade sighed and bit her bottom lip, thinking obviously.

"Well, I might as well explain everything soon. Naruto how old do you think you are?"

"Um I think like almost 13."

Tsunade gasped. The age question was to see how long ago he lost his memory, it was obviously a long time ago.

"Naruto, you are almost 15, it's been almost 2 years since you've disappeared."

Naruto's mouth opened wider than he thought possible.

"You can't be serious! I was told I was almost 13 just a few days ago...unless I've been in here for 2 years!"

"No you've been in here for 2 days. Who told you how old you were?"

"Itachi, he couldn't have been lying. He always tells the truth."

This time Tsunade looked worried.

"Naruto, you mean that the Akatsuki held you captive?"

"Yes, for as long as I remember."

"Tell me everything you experienced up until this point."

And Naruto did. He was finishing up by telling her that he was having dreams of things that seemed like they happened. It made sense to Tsunade as to why Naruto thought Sasuke was dead.

"So every time a certain subject came up, your dream seemed to drift in and out?" asked Tsunade.

"Ya, like a certain word I couldn't remember."

Tsunade knew the word, she decided not to tell him though. This was Naruto's chance to live a life without descrimination. If he didn't know what he was, and the people couldn't recognize him with his new hair. Naruto probably didn't even know he was a ninja, so she had to keep him away from the monument in the training zone.

At this time, Sasuke was at the training zone. Before he arrived at the monument, it was raining. When Sasuke read the monument, he just smiled. The sunshine never comes while mourning, but this time Sasuke wasn't mourning, he was happy he had another chance at the Mangekyo. The sun hid behind the clouds. Sasuke left the monument, with a kunai he scratched out a name.
