Chapter 2:

Death of a Traitor?

I threw four ninja stars as Sauske. He wearily blocked them.

"I don't have any chakra left. Just let me leave. I have to kill Itachi." I knew of Sauske's sick little obsession with his brother. I didn't know he was still so determined. You had to hand it to him, when he's decided, he's decided. I looked at him without pity. I moved forward but Naruto was faster then me. He grabbed Sauske up and slammed his foot into Sauske's leg breaking it. Sakura looked at him angrily.

"What was that for you baka!?" Naruto's answer was for Sauske.

"I told you I'd bring you back to Sakura-chan even if I had to break your arms and legs." I ran forward I couldn't help it I knew Sauske would escape if I didn't do something.

"KILL HIM NOW NARUTO! IF YOU DON'T HE'LL JUST BETRAY YOU AGAIN!" Sakura now shot daggers at me.

"OH YEAH? WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT SAUSKE-KUN?" My anger was getting the best of me.

"I KNOW HE BETRAYED YOU ALREADY FOR THE MERE WORD OF POWER, NOT EVEN THE PROMISE! SAKURA OPEN YOUR EYES! Naruto! Surely you see it?"

"I SWORE I'D BRING HIM BACK! I'M NOT GOING TO BREAK THAT PROMISE OR OUR BOND FOR ANYTHING!"he shouted as demonic as ever. I ran at Naruto and kicked out high. He caught my foot and I planted my other foot in his face. He stumbled back holding his face. I built up the chakra.

"SLINGSHOT JUTSU!" I connected my chakra to Sauske and flung forward. Sauske cut the strings with his blade and rolled out of the way. He tried to charge up chidori but failed. The black marks of the cursed seal began to spread all over his body, transforming him. He had gray skin and longer purple hair. His eyes were black with yellow pupils, also great skin-like wings were sprouting out of his back.

"And people call you a demon Naruto... Their priceless Uchiha is much more of a beast." Sauske leapt at me using his good leg and swung with the blade I blocked it and kicked out at him. He caught my leg. I looked at him and was about to swing my sword when he fixed his hold on me.

Not only is he stronger and faster then before, but his Sharingun seems to be working overtime and his chakra amount has at least doubled it original amount. I called for Naruto and he punched Uchiha right in the mouth. Sakura looked at Sauske and I saw her mouth words.

"Sauske-kun?" She had finally seen what he really was, and from what I could tell it disgusted her. I ran forward and tried to kick him Sakura ran ahead of me and jacked me. I was sent flying backwards and hit the wall leaving behind a large dent.

I looked over at Naruto I find it hard to believe that little Naruto has grown so much in all this time. He used was so small, but then that was back when I used my actual last name. I remember the day he was born.

The 4th Hokage looked out at the window at the Kyuubi. I stared at him. The forth Hokage, Naruto's father... and mine.

"Xilic, you take good care of your baby brother. You understand me?" He shook me a little.

"Father please don't seal the fox in him, if you can't kill it, use me but don't hurt him. He didn't do anything." Father looked at me and ruffled my hair.

"Xilic You'll be a fine big brother you defend him now you hear me? Don't let anyone hurt him. I want him to be seen as a hero, not a demon."

"FATHER! STOP! Don-don't seal it in Naruto please. Please." The third Hokage walked up behind me and knocked me out. I awoke on my bed. I didn't go downstair right then. I needed a moment to take it all in. Father and Mother were both dead. Father from the Jutsu and mother from giving birth. Naruto is all I have left. I will defend him.

"Xilic! Please you have to take Naruto and go some villagers are here and their not happy! They wanna kill him." I was only six! What was I supposed to do? I ran downstairs and grabbed up my baby brother. Then I leapt out of the window with what little chakra I could use. I soon hid him in a shack.

For four years we ran and I would hide him and fight to keep anyone from getting at him. Until the day he turned five.

"MOVE IT KID!" I was now ten and knew that I was not going to even try and let them have Naruto! I kicked the men. I threw a knife at one but he caught it. There were just too many. They knocked me out. I woke up in the sand village. I guess they really wanted to seperate us. I trained hard for ten years before returning at the age of twenty to see little Naruto all grown up.

Naruto Uzamaki is my brother I've finally found him so I could defend him again, and he hardly seems to need it. I saw Sauske leap and charge up a chidori and hit Naruto right in the left shoulder. I watched the lightning blade rip through the flesh and bone. Suddenly everything broke. I forgot that I couldn't show him compassion I forgot that I was supposed to kill Sauske at all cost and not let Naruto know who I was. All I knew was that someone had tried to kill my little brother and there was going to be hell to pay.

"NARUTO!!" I ran up Sauske and jacked him in the face then I kicked him in the gut send him up. I leapt and sent him higher and higher with each blow. Then I kicked him down into the earth. I picked him up by the collar of his shirt and made my chidori. "IF YOU SO MUCH AS TOUCH MY BROTHER AGAIN I WILL SPLATTER YOU ALL OVER THESE WALLS!!!" Naruto sat up and looked at me.

"Brother? What?" I saw that the Kyuubi's power were starting to leave him. He'd really had it. He was about pass out. I jammed my attack into Sauske's gut then kicked him over backwards. He fell down. Sauske'd had it too. I walked down to him and continued to break all his limbs. Sakura looked at me scared.

"What kind of mid-nin are you? Heal Uchiha."

"But... what about Naruto?"

"I'll take care of him." I saw Naruto's head finally hit the ground as he fell unconscious. I walked to him and carefully scooped him up. Just as I used to do so many years ago. I leapt from rooftop to rooftop, getting to where the third Hokage once lived. I burst through front doors and the newest Hokage looked at me with a large amount of anger.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING BREAKING INTO MY OFFICE! I'M THE-" my anger far overrode her's.

"HOKAGE-SAMA! SHUT UP AND HEAL NARUTO!" The expressions on the woman's face changed wildly from rage, to concern then to a solid determination. She opened Naruto's jacket and went to work. All the while her assistant tried to offer me tea and make me leave. I shook her off and waited by my brother's side. I wouldn't fail father I wouldn't let my brother die. I felt his chakra so low and weak. I pumped bursts of my own chakra into him. The Hokage looked at me then dismissed it.

"Naruto," I whispered. "Naruto don't you dare die on me." I continued pumping chakra into my little brother until I passed out from chakra loss.
