Chapter 2: Ancient eye and The Flight Home
Team 7 accompanied by Zabuza and Haku, returned to Tazuna's house. Sasuke was still unconscious but Sakura had come to and stared silently as they walked at the changed Naruto. She had seen the scence around him before the bodies had been disposed of and couldn't believe that his was the same Naruto, the annoyance.
By the time they reached the house. The village had heard of the victory and was celebrating. For the rest of the day the team rested and partied along side the villagers. The next morning though questions had to be answered.
Sasuke could feel the chakra coming off Naruto's clothes and challenged him to a fight that morning. Having quietly walked outside the began to spar. Sasuke of course went in confident that he would win, Sakura cheering him on the sidelines.
He never stood a chance. No matter what Sasuke did, he couldn't get past the dobe's guard and any jutsu would just miss. Sasuke ended up on his ass several hundred times throughout the fight, ending in complete embarrassment for the Uchiha.
To end it all, as they walked the beaten up Uchiha into the house, the boy had yelled at the blonde "Give me you power!"
They sat at the table waiting for Naruto's response. It came but not the outburst of 'No' they were expecting.
"You are supposed to be a genius and yet you fell into Itachi's trap so easily. What a big fool you are."
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?" Sasuke yelled.
Sasuke tried to jump at Naruto to only be held down by Kakashi.
"Mind explaining this trap then Naruto" he said.
Naruto focused his golden blue eyes on his team and said "First thing you must know is what happened to me. My own bloodline awakened…" he was interrupted by Sakura "You have a bloodline!" Naruto scowled and continued "Yes I do along with another but that's another story. Anyway, it's known as the Ancient Eye. It's not meant for combat…" once more interrupted by Sakura "Then what good is it you dumbass?" Naruto didn't scowl this time just barked at Sakura "Shut up dammit and you might just learn something. As I said it's not meant for combat but its more of a memory bank, containing all the knowledge of my forefathers and past family members directly related trough time. One such person was quite knowledgeable on the sharingan."
This caught Sasuke completely off guard and before he could say anything Kakashi jumped in and said "Again, what is this trap?"
Naruto said "Getting to that. My ancestor discovered that the final level of the sharingan, the Mangekyo, has one dreadful weakness. The more it is used by a person, the closer said person gets to going completely blind."
Sasuke let his jaw drop but said anyways "What is the trap then?"
Naruto looked at Sasuke sadly and said "The only way to cure the problem is to take the eyes of another Uchiha who's sharingan has reached the same level. Taking them grants immense powers as well as immortality. Itachi left you alive so he could take your eyes. He left you in a state that would have completely under his control, you would do anything to get power. The mangekyo was what he was using you for. To gain even more power, he used you like he would a tool."
That struck Sasuke hard. He didn't want to believe it but with the sincerity in his teammates voice he just couldn't deny it.
He murmured "How do I stop myself?"
Not realizing that he had said that out loud Naruto responded "Pull that damn stick out of you ass and loosen up. Let you heart and not your hate guide you."
Several days had passed and the team was ready to head home when they were approached by Zabuza and Haku.
Zabuza quickly explained their situation and how they wanted to stop running, that it wasn't safe for Haku and how he wanted to give her a chance at living life, without the running part of it. He asked if Konoha would have them.
At this point Haku and clamped down on Narutos arm and done the puppy eye jutsu and said "Please?"
Naruto just couldn't say no at the cute face that peered at him.

(Forest)
Team 7 and company moved through the forest slowly lightly talking. Sakura suddenly said to Naruto "Didn't you say that you had a second blood line, what is it?"
Naruto smiled and said "There should be a clearing up ahead, you see then."
The group suddenly came upon a clearing and stopped when Naruto told them to wait there. He raced to the center of the clearing and suddenly was covered in a golden haze. When it cleared al the group could do was stare up in shock.
Before them stood a golden dragon, its neck arching high above them. Spikes ran along the back of its neck as well as the beautiful wings that were spread out. The body was thick with well muscled legs. Its claws appeared to be made of glowing steel. Its long tail ended in some webbing that looked like a fan. Its majestic head had two horns above its pointed ears with scales running along the forehead to the tip of its nose. All in all, the creature before them was beautiful as it glowed in the sun.
It lowered its head to eye level and said with wide golden eye "What do you think?"
They all could stare, speechless and Haku answered for them by saying "You awesome" and giving him a hug on the nose.
As she let go Naruto began to laugh, "Thanks now hop on" he said kneeling down.
Without hesitation, Haku hopped on the golden dragons back soon followed by the rest of the group who were hesitant.
Looking behind him Naruto said "Use Chakra to hold on, this is going to be a bumpy ride."
With that he beat his wings and away they flew and he quickly gave a warning "Don't look down."
Sakura said "Why?" and looked down; she blanched and said "Oh."
"Hehe" was all Naruto responded as they flew. He flipped upside down, eliciting screams from the people on his back.
"Don't do that dobe!" yelled Sasuke.
"Fine, fine" Naruto said "I'm just going to do a stoop and then well fly without any antics."
He began to rise as Zabuza piped the question "Why do you call this move a stoop?"
They had reached heights that made the trees bellow them appear to be fist sized. He suddenly flipped and dived straight down while yelling "Because its STOOOOOPID."
Each of his riders gave a terrifying scream as the dragon they rode straight at the ground. As it seemed that they would not get out of the dive, they became level once again.
"You idiot dragon don't you dare do that again" screamed Sakura, Haku, and Zabuza. Kakashi was crying because in the dive, his favorite smut book had fallen out of his pouch and landed somewhere. The true surprise came in a yell "Let's go again" from…SASUKE.
They all stared at the boy they though a brooder, an emo, the one person who had a stick all the way up his ass. Naruto summarized their thoughts in one phrase:
"WHAT THE FUCK?!"
