A/N: Just so you know understanding this Naruto is a bit hard because he is a perfect mix of his father and his mother, but do not fret if you get a little lost on how he acts, remember he is socially lost and he only opens up to the third although he is very intelligent but of course he uses this to create the greatest pranks imaginable, better than even painting the kage mountain ^^. He will definitely be having his crush on Sakura as she is uncannily resemblant to his mother (pink hair-red hair, spastic rage with strength to back it up) but we don't know if they will get together or not you will just have to find out. Also quickly, I know that most jinchuuriki get some quirks from having certain bijuu in them, so I enhanced the idea of Naruto being able to feel evil and it will grow and become something awesome also the feeling of evil will branch out and he will be able to pick out different emotions making him a great sensor, enjoy, Ja ne.
(8 years after the Kyuubi attack)
It is a dark and cold night October 10th came around yet again, but there is a whole congregation of villagers, like every other year since the Kyuubi attacked and slaughtered families and their home. Together they made a circle, all holding torches and weapons of some sort in the middle of the mob stands one lone boy. Now grown in height from his mere baby form from four years ago. With an athletic build in his shinobi get-up Narutos deep cerulean eyes blazed with defiance but also with understanding if you dug deep enough, conveying all the emotions flowing through him without his face being exposed. His hairstyle looking disturbingly similar to the 'Yellow Flash of Konoha' and his grey scarf moving in the chilly night breeze.
The last 3 years of his life have not been for the faint of heart, his house being vandalised daily, belongings getting stolen, paints sprayed on his wall saying "Demon" and "Monster". Wherever he walked his now keen sense of sinister feelings and auras would literally skyrocket when going into a busy sector of the village and his birthday being, just like now, a mob of villagers out for his blood. The scarf he wore didn't last long in hiding him like he wanted (and like he said) but the worst part was the villagers were getting worse when they saw that the 'demon spawn' had taken on the appearance of the Yondaime. Discrimination against him intensified to the point where he had to learn henge no jutsu just to get the food diet he needed to becoming a great shinobi like he promised his Jiji.
Naruto was not stupid, he had been studying fuinjutsu long enough to know that the markings on his belly is one of the most complex and intricate seal he has ever seen or heard of, the Shiki Fuin. He now knew that he was a Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi no Kitsune, the greatest of the nine bijuu who destroyed families and half the village. He knew his hero the Yondaime sacrificed his life to stop the kyuubi from further destruction. At first when the fox had told him in his mindscape Naruto was so angry that his first and best friend had done that to the village he had sworn to protect, but when he was told that he was controlled by none other than Madara Uchiha, he was gobsmacked- the man he read in 'Konoha: A History' the rival of the First Hokage and one of the founding fathers of the village had used his highest level of the sharingan to control his friend! Boy was he mad, he was on his top 5 list of people to beat up for getting so many villagers families killed and for causing his hero to perish to save the village but most of all, he was going to stop him from ever hurting this village for causing so much hate and fear to be put on to him and the fox who was controlled. Yet he always since finding out, pondered on why he was chosen. What would life be like if he wasn't?
He was quickly pulled out of his thoughts by the villagers walking closer towards him. He would not retaliate to their hate; he knew they were hurting for their dead family and friends and need it to be taken out on someone. "DEMON! YOU KILLED MY FATHER YOU WILL PAY!" a chunin leading the villagers screamed at him, to which Naruto turned to him and bored his eyes into his, seeing into his soul to help ease the darkness in his heart. He had been learning to sense evil and it had slowly started to help him see into people's souls, literally. If he kept eye contact and concentrated for long enough he could gaze at the person's emotions that are festering inside. He was slowly practising how to feel the emotions all around him rather than focusing on one person.
Naruto slowly got onto his knees and began to speak, which frightened the hell out of everyone around because he was usually so closed up and took their anger without verbal or physical retaliation. But what he said confused them and made them all stop in their tracks. "I understand, I will accept all your hatred, but remember this, I am no demon" and with that he closed his eyes and escaped into his mindscape so he would not feel the pain, yet.
"BOY! Why do you insist on taking this abuse, you are my container, you could squas-" "Fox" Naruto interrupted with strength " we will not ever retaliate, for you have inflicted many sins on this village and I will personally repent to them for you and I, for you have been with me my entire life. You are as much a part of me as my legs or my arms and I can't let them go unaccounted for can I? Not to mention you are one of my precious people remember? I would give up my life for you or Jiji!"
"This boy, he is the one old man! I can feel it, he is easily the only human I think I will ever respect even without the power I usually need to be forced into respect like the Shodaime" kyuubi flashed his canines in a true smile, one that he hadn't in thousands of years "Well boy, if you say so. Now how do you think your studies have been coming? Because I have been watching and I am quite impressed with your fuinjutsu skills and not to mention that painting of me isn't too shabby either" he finished with his trade mark menacing fox grin.
Naruto went got very shy and was fumbling as usual at the end of the foxes little speech "Umm- thanks it wasn't that great" he finished with a bit of sad smile( A/N:Quickly forgot to inform you whenever he talks to the fox he never has his scarf on as he trusts him unconditionally and feels safe so it doesn't appear with him in his mindscape) "Non-sense, I think that painting is the only one that could do justice to the great and almighty-""Foxy-Chan" Naruto intervened with his own fox grin that turned into one of his VERY rare true smiles. "WHY MUST YOU PERSIST WITH THAT NAME? I AM THE STRONGEST CHAKRA FORCE IN THIS UNIVERSE SHOW SOME-" "respect" Naruto finished for him with his genuine smile shining. "How can I ever stay mad at this kid, GAH he is turning me soft, I'm the Kami damn embodiment of evil, well I let the old man (for all those confused the old man he is referring to is Rikudo Sennin) into my sinister heart then I can let this boy in, unlike the rest of his pathetic human race"
" Anyway kid skip what you think, I think that your fuinjutsu is at a very high level, your half way through your Yondaime's book, further than anyone within this village has ever dwelled, keep going and you can soon get to his level and beyond and also keep up on playing Shogi with your 'jiji' his is a veteran tactician living through three of those futile and miniscule ninja wars, back when I was around your age...in centuries my brothers and sisters used to fight on the scale of nations. Of course being the strongest and oldest of them I broke up the fights with my power until... never mind that is for another time" the fox finished with a glazed look in his eye until Naruto thought he saw a tear fall out of his eye and could feel the foxes endless pool of rage start to boil until it calmed down once he realised where he was and who was in front of him.
Yet what truly shocked him out of his stupor is when the young boy walked THROUGH the gate and came up to the great fox, standing under all 15 stories of him. The kyuubi realised he could kill this boy and escape and continue releasing his hatred on this world. He looked down onto the boy and said boy motioned him to be pulled up to his level. The Kyuubi set his left paw open and allowed the boy to stand in the middle of it, looking like a crumb to eat on it. The Kyuubi lifted him to his eyes when the boy said "It's ok to cry if your sad Foxy-Chan, remember that your apart of me so I have to help you! You are precious to me!" and with that the supposed crumb wrapped his arms as far as he could on the kitsunes snout and held tight.
The kyuubi was dumb-founded, never had he ever been hugged for being sad, yes he comforted his younger siblings when humans attempted to hurt them and he resorted to obliterating them but this was a new concept to the 9000 year old fox. This little runt of a human had wormed his way into his heart the past few years and the fox was beginning to really believe this boy will be who his old man spoke of.
"Alright, alright now boy back to your side! It's weird having someone else in my prison now it's time to go back to the real world those scum villagers are done and I healed your wounds but your clothes have some rips and burns, nothing a repair seal can't fix" Naruto looked back at the fox as he crossed back through the gates to the other side and looked back at the fox with determination on his face "I promise I will find away to get you out of that prison Foxy-Chan " of which the foxes eyes widened until the end where he face planted so hard it shook the whole mindscape. " Thank- you...Naruto" a wide smile spread on his face again "Don't mention it, what are friends for?" and then he released himself from his mindscape. But what he didn't know was that his whisker marks were slowly becoming more defined and the powers granted by the kyuubi enhanced further with their relationship growing stronger each passing day. The Kyuubi also saw what his contain-friend was about to wake up to and smirked "He is going to be shitting himself" and he proceeded to burst out in a deep and near cynical laughter.
(Back in reality: A few minutes before Naruto comes out of the mindscape)
An 8 year old pink-haired and bright emerald eyed girl was walking along with her mother until her mother turned to her " Sakura dear, I need you to wait here I am just going in to pick up the clothes we ordered ok? Don't walk off and be careful" the young girl gazed up at her mother who had a darker shade of pink hair with blue eyes and nodded with a cute smile " Ok mama I'll be alright I promise" her mother smiled back and turned and walked into the shop she was heading into.
It was quite early, 8am for them to get moving but her mother was getting the clothes they ordered for her when she enters the academy in several weeks, she stood around waiting looking at the slowly awaking shops on the soon to be busy street until she turned around and saw a boy around her age lying on the ground, his clothes with holes and burns in them. "I wonder if that boy is ok! I should go see he might be hurt" slowly she walked to the boy and knelt down next to him looking at him, he had black skin tight long sleeved top with a grey scarf covering his face except his eyes which were closed. He was breathing in and out peacefully and his bright blonde hair reflected the sun's rays beautifully and waved slowly with the morning breeze. The pink-haired girl had a red tint in her cheeks when she gazed upon this boy but slowly she saw that he was waking up and didn't know what to do.
Naruto started to open his eyes but was blinded by the sun's rays. As he slowly fluttered his eyes to adjust to the brightness he saw something that knocked the air out of him. There was a girl, no, an angel kneeling before him overlooking him with the sun sitting behind her, her shoulder length pink hair taking him in a trance leading him to her slightly wide and charming forehead that brought him to her shining emerald eyes which he looked into until he could see the purity within her soul, no taint, no hate. She asked in a questioning but cute voice "Are you okay?" Naruto was yet again dumb-founded, why was an angel talking to him? A jinchuuriki? The village pariah. "I-I-Um-err-are you an angel?" he stumbled on his words at first but found his voice that he rarely used with awe.
The girl blushed up a storm which instantly made him also blush after realising what he said, but she couldn't see it because of his scarf "N-no I-I'm Sakura Haruno" she finished softly and right then and there Naruto knew within his heart that he had to protect this girls pure soul that had not been touched by the hate in this world, and could even admit to himself that he was developing the first and biggest crush of his life!
As Sakura looked at his eyes that stared right into her she finally realised that he had some of the most beautiful eyes she had ever seen, startling blue, but not like her mother's no! These eyes were like no other, going from a deep cerulean to a bright cyan in an instant as if his eyes were a constantly changing slew of blues.
Naruto was about to say something when he heard a small scream of "Sakura! What are you doing get away from him" what Naruto assumed was Sakuras mother came up and yanked her away from him and scolded her saying the usual, that I was not to be trusted and not to go near him. "But mama he is hurt and no one is here to help him" Narutos eyes widened when he heard this and his heart was now securely held in the Sakura Haruno's hands. "Leave him, come on Sakura we have better things to do" her mother finished venomously.
As Sakura was pulled away, she turned to look at the mystery boy who she was now firmly interested with to see him standing to his full height, his scarf billowing in the wind along with his sunny blonde bangs that came down like someone she swore she saw on a daily basis but couldn't quite finger it. But once she looked into his sky blue eyes that slowly changed to deep cerulean again she saw something she never thought she would see in a young boy. Loneliness. And with that she was about to turn a corner when she saw him turn and walk down the road on his own, if it hadn't of been so sad she would of thought he was really cool.
As Naruto trudged off on his own he thought " She was beautiful, the first person my age to ever say nice things to me, or really anything that was derogatory at all ,I think I love her" "HAH how about you wait before you get these thou-" "No. I will protect her soul, I saw into it and she was pure, untainted and I can't let that be shattered by anyone, she is the only one besides you, Jiji and Dog to ever talk to me in such a way and I will not let anyone hurt her just as my nindo says!"
And with that one track mind toward the pink haired girl he pulled out his trusty sketch pad and pencil and began walking while sketching, by the time he was finished he had a picture perfect sketch of her, now all he had to do was get out his even trustier special brush that jiji got for him which had unlimited ink and can change brush sizes by the use of chakra to finish it off! While he was doing this he had found his way to a pier at a serene lake and had sat down at the edge of it. As he continued the finishing touches to the image after what seemed like three quarters of a he sensed a confused soul with his now even more accurate sensor coming his way.
A boy with Black spiked hair at the back with sharp bangs resembling a duck bottom wearing a black t-shirt with a high collar and Uchiha symbol on the back with black shorts was running towards his Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu training area so he could finally master it to come out from under Itachi's shadow and get his father's acknowledgement. For so long he was within the shadow of his genius brother who was in Anbu at the age of 13 while he at 8 was not even a genin yet! " No! It doesn't matter, Itachi can be as good as he likes, all I want is fathers attention for once and for him to be proud of me" he thought as he ran down the hill path towards the lake to see a boy sitting at the end of the pier, his place of peace and quiet, his katon jutsu training area. He had a red swirl on his back like his fathers jonin vest and black tight long sleeved top. "I wonder who this is"
The Uchiha slowed down when he was a few metres behind the boy when said boy slowly turned and onyx eyes met sapphire. The Uchiha didn't know what it was but he swore he saw deep depression and loneliness in those eyes until it quickly disappeared and the blonde boy started to get uncomfortable from the stare and his started to get a worried look in them, like he was afraid something was going to happen. "Hey what are you doing here?" the blonde flinched at this and the worried look intensified but he didn't talk he just stood up holding his sketch pad and paint brush tightly to his chest and was looking down shifting from foot to foot.
Naruto was very, very nervous. He knew this boy was one of the Uchiha, a high regarded clan and didn't want to be on their bad side, he already was on the bad side of basically everyone else why add more? Naruto slowly looked up and for the third time that day spoke " I-I-I'm S-s-sorry I s-sometimes l-like to come here to draw and have peace and quiet, um why are you here no one usually comes here?" he had started off fumbling as usual but as he talked more than two sentences in 4 months since he had seen his Jiji because he said he had a lot to death with lately but didn't tell him what, he left it as that because he knew being Hokage was tough.
"I'm here to practise jutsu, do you mind moving a big behind me so I can practise on the edge of the pier, you can stay just don't distract me" Naruto looked at the Uchiha eyes widened with disbelief and confusion showing through his eyes "You're not going to try and be mean and attack me or put me down are you? Because I am not in the mood for being pushed around today" his eyes hardened after saying this, he was sick of some of the villager kids trying to befriend him and then when his back is turned hitting him or doing mean things. The Uchiha looked quizzically at the boy "Why on earth would I do that I just met you" Naruto muttered a reply "You would be surprised"
The Uchiha was confused, he shrugged it off and said "Well anyway I'll be over there practising" and with that the Uchiha strode over to the edge of the pier and started going through hand signs and then yelled out " Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu!" and a moderate flame burst from his exhaling mouth and hand seal sizzling the water below it. Naruto watched very intrigued and saw every flaw that the Uchiha had made, he hadn't arched his back properly, he didn't inhale enough air and he could tell that the Uchiha didn't apply any chakra to his throat to assist in the huge air that needs to burst out of his mouth to great the high C to low B ranked jutsu.
Naruto wanted to help him but knew he was shy and would screw up any chance of a mutual respect or friendship to form, although he didn't have any idea of those last two anyway. He continued watching him flying through the jutsu a couple of times before he started drawing the image in front of him. After another 25 minutes the Uchiha let out a frustrated cry "Why can't I do it damn it!" Naruto looked up and came to the conclusion that to make friends you have to be nice and help them so he quickly sealed away his sketch pad and placed his paint brush in his back pocket and slowly got up and tentatively walked over to the Uchiha who was still fussing over what to do.
" e-excuse me" Naruto said softly " I think I can help you with that jutsu" the Uchiha looked back towards the slowly approaching uncertain blonde questioningly " really? How? This is a pretty advanced jutsu that I need to learn to be a true Uchiha" Naruto finally got over his anxiety of the situation and with the strength he doesn't unconsciously know says "I might not have studied this jutsu specifically but I know quite a bit about katon jutsus. Show me the hand signs" the Uchiha complied and what he saw made his eyes widen to saucers and his jealousy boil.
Naruto flew through the hand signs although a little bit slower than the Uchiha, applied a little bit of chakra to loosen the throat and inhaled enough oxygen to make his lungs and yelled while releasing the oxygen " Katon: Goukakyuu no Jutsu!" the flame was easily double the Uchiha's and made the water boil. The Uchiha looked at the boy with awe, jealousy and disbelief. How could he have done it? He had worked on it all day and couldn't do one half as good "how!" the Uchiha all but demanded. Naruto thought he angered the Uchiha and recoiled with fear in his eyes. He saw this and his eyes softened a bit wondering "why is this boy so closed up and scared?" "Sorry I just would like to know how you did that"
Naruto tried to compose himself from his anxiety from nearly stuffing up what he thought could become his first real friend "Hey I'm your friend remember?" " Of course you are but I meant real world and human" to which the fox grumbled and apology and said "Touché, but if you're wondering how you did that Katon so well it's because my affinity is fire and that gives you very high control over fire jutsu than any other human being, you're the fire equivalent your Second Hokages amazing water manipulation , besides your personal affinity which we don't know yet but fire at the moment comes very naturally to you but because it was your first time performing one it was quite weak" "AWESOME!WE ARE THE BEST FOXY-CHAN" " . . .FUC-"Naruto quickly cut him off so he could refocus on his conversation and replied "I can show you and because apparently I have an extraordinarily high affinity for fire jutsu judging from that display as it was my first time" to which the Uchiha's jaw dropped, that grand fireball jutsu was nearly as good as his father's and it was his first time! "Anyway" Naruto continued in his self-proclaimed scholar mode "Your problem is that you haven't properly read up on katon jutsus and you don't have the experience to know that to inhale and exhale such large scales of oxygen you need to apply chakra to your throat to loosen it up as well as arch your back and when you release your jutsu sling shot forward to give the jutsu that little extra momentum. Also because you didn't know to loosen your throat you couldn't get the maximum amount of oxygen to your lungs"
The Uchiha looked thankfully and thoughtfully at Naruto " Ok so chakra to throat, inhale more oxygen and arch back while inhaling and jerk body with the jutsu for momentum got it" to which the Uchiha turned back to the pier one metre next to Naruto and flashed through the required seals and did as the blonde told him and to his inner delight and satisfaction the flame was perfectly contained and powerful, not as big as the blondes but the flames were hotter and tamed compared to his wild and untamed jutsu. After the jutsu died down the blonde was staring out onto the water and shifting uncomfortably, straight back into his metaphorical shell to protect him from the insults and abuse as well as just people in general. The Uchiha turned to Naruto and held his hand out to him "My name is Sasuke Uchiha, thank you a lot for helping me with this jutsu, now people will acknowledge me for me and I won't be in my brother's shadow anymore" "KILL HIM HIS PART OF THAT KAMI DAMN CLAN!I DEMAND HE BE-" "Kyuubi, stop, he is 8 years old he hasn't done anything against you it was Madara Uchiha so stop being a dummy" he came out of that thought quickly and Naruto looked at the sincere smile that he helped bring to Sasukes face and smiled a genuine smile, one he hadn't done out of his mindscape in years. " That's ok Sasuke my name is Naruto Uzumaki I should say thanks to you, you gave me a jutsu" Naruto continued by bowing to him humbly "It was a fair trade, so it's ok but that was amazing how you did that so well on your first go, and I think we should both head home, it's getting late and our parents will get worried if we stay out too long, its already way past dinner so neither of us can get anything on the way back" once Sasuke finished speaking he instantly regretted it after seeing the boys eyes falter and glisten with unshed tears then quickly looking down and speaking in his smooth soft voice " I don't h-have f-family to head home to"
Sasuke felt so ashamed of himself and sorrowful that he also looked down "I'm sorry Naruto I didn't mean to" Sasuke immediately brightened up, he didn't really have friends his age because he was content with his brother, maybe Naruto can be his first! "I know Naruto, why don't you come with me to have something to eat? I'm sure my mother won't mind"
Naruto just looked unsure of himself and didn't know if Sasukes parents were like the other adults "Are you sure? I d-don't know I've never b-been to another person's h-house before" before Naruto could voice another question Sasuke was already dragging him away.
(A short time later)
Sasuke with Naruto in tow were approaching the Uchiha District, but strangely all the lights were out and there was a dark feeling coming from the district. "Boy, I don't like this feeling, it feels like HIM" the boy didn't reply but internally nodded as he could sense the evil that was coming from the district. They both slowed to a walk and tentatively entered into the Uchiha district. What they both saw horrified them, there were dead clansmen littering the main street of the Uchiha district.
Sasuke ran over to one of the dead bodies and Naruto followed "AUNT! UNCLE!" Sasuke screamed in agony because what Naruto obviously assumed were his uncle and auntie were both lying in pools of their own blood. Tears started to form in Sasukes eyes and Naruto just stared grief stricken over seeing a dead body "Boy you need to get out of their!" but before Naruto could voice the opinion Sasuke had shot off further into the district. Naruto wordlessly followed already predicting where they were heading and what had most likely happened " I'm sorry kyuubi I have to go with Sasuke he will need me I can feel it and I always stick by my precious people"
They both shot through the streets were more dead bodies laid until they reached the biggest house in the district and entered. They ran through the maze of halls until they reached a door, both looked at each other before Sasuke put his hand on the door handle and froze. What would he see when he opened it? He didn't want to think about it but couldn't help it until he was slightly eased when Naruto said " I promise I won't let you face whatever it is alone" comforted by these words Sasuke opened the door and they both walked in to see a man and a woman dead, the man on top of the woman protectively. But what made both their blood run cold was when a teenager a few years older than them step into the light that looked eerily similar to Sasuke.
"Why, Itachi. WHY DID YOU KILL THEM!" Naruto was shocked, this must have been Sasukes brother and he couldn't possibly have killed his own parents, Naruto protects his friends with his life let alone parents that he wished for every waking day and sleeping night. The emotionless voice came to their ears " To test myself" then two shuriken appeared on the wall and door above each of their shoulders then a few seconds later a deep gash appeared of both their left shoulders. They both winced in pain and Sasuke slumped to the floor in anguish and despair. " I need to get us out of here now! Think Naruto think! " but it was futile, Sasuke was all but incapacitated and this killer was starting to emit a huge wave of killing intent making Sasuke move into a foetal position and freezing Naruto in fear for his life. Yet what pulled him out of his fear was that when he looked into the teenagers eyes they were crimson red with 3 commas in them spinning wildly. And if that wasn't weird enough the teenagers soul wasn't filled with sinister and blackness like he thought it should be after murdering so many people, what he saw was a anguished and remorseful soul, seeking for self-repentance in anyway shape or form.
And with that Naruto grabbed Sasuke and put him on his shoulder with a bit of effort. He turned on his heel and ran back into the Maze of hall ways and didn't feel the emotions of the teenager keeping within range so thought he wasn't chasing them when he finally stopped to catch breath back outside in the main street. That was until he looked up and felt the remorseful feeling coming from directly behind them and Sasuke got off his back and was looking behind him.
Naruto turned around to see none other than the teenager staring at them until he said "good-bye Sasuke and threw a selection of ninja weaponry towards him. Naruto acted on instinct and could feel his brain processing everything at high speeds. His eye sight heightened and he could see everything slowing down around him. He quickly jumped in front of Sasuke and took the hits in spots his brain had somehow remembered and moved in sync to that were not fatal.
"NARUTO!" Sasuke shouted in alarm and fear. Naruto collapsed onto one knee and Itachi smiled inwardly "it seems the jinchuuriki boy might be able to help Sasuke redeem this arrogant and foolish clan, good, I could never have lived with myself if I had to kill my own brother as well as my mother and father" "Why did you save my Otouto, Naruto was it?" and Naruto answered with a fire of passion Sasuke never in a million years a fumbling, shy boy like him could possess " Because he is my friend, and If I didn't I would not be Naruto Uzumaki, my nindo: To always protect my precious people, my home and never, even if the darkness surrounds me EVER GIVE UP! Now what would I be if I couldn't uphold my nindo?" and all Sasuke could do was watch this boy stand up to his genius brother who had just wiped out his whole clan with awe and inspiration "Naruto, you. I never would of guessed this shy boy to be so determined"
" That is immensely admirable Naruto, but what will you do when you must face my..TSKUYOMI!" Itachi's eyes blazed and turned into a 3 edged pinwheel and suddenly Naruto were both sucked into the most powerful genjutsu in the elemental nations. "Now Naruto, what will you do? There is no hope in here, no light and I control this dimension" and he answered " I will persevere and find light, for there is never darkness without light!" "This boys will, truly is a special thing, but now I must test it as well as my brothers own will to restore this clan" Itachi turned to Sasuke who was just frozen in fear and watching the exchanges. "Sasuke, learn to hate me, feed on it and let it consume you, when you have attained my eyes I will test my strength against you" once this was said Naruto could feel Sasukes once pure soul start to become tainted, with each passing second it blackened and the darkness surrounded it attempting to take over, until Naruto spoke in his smooth, determined and now soft voice "Sasuke, you do not need to listen to him, fight through the darkness, you can still seek redemption for your fallen clan by defeating your brother. FIGHT THROUGH THE PAIN for that dark road will be your downfall" slowly Sasukes heart stoped blackening and a sliver of the once pure soul was visible to Narutos eyes as he stared at Sasuke before turning back to Itachi but he had disappeared and the whole massacre of the Uchiha clan was played in full before he and Sasukes eyes. After the horrifying experience they both saw Itachi again and he said in his monotone voice " That was 3 seconds, you now have 71 hours 59 minutes and 57 seconds remaining" which made Sasuke go pale and start shivering, but Naruto stood strong, he had faced similar pain but this was another version of it served on a different plate. Suddenly they were sucked back into the massacre again and again, for what seemed like eternity the peoples deaths played over and over and over in their minds, weakening their resolve and faltering their minds. The irreparable harm that was befall them could not be stopped by the great kyuubi no Kitsune as he too watched the sickening massacre with and was worried about his container and the younger Uchiha but was completely ok with the images as he had seen and done worse. " I know you can face this Naruto..."
After what was an eternity in the genjutsu but really only 10 seconds in the real world Itachi released both of them and heard the sounds of ninjas footsteps, as well as his younger brother collapsing after the ordeal. But what truly amazed him was that Naruto was on his hands and knees panting with sweat and tears coming down. " I can see the remorse within you I-ta-chi" and with that he passed out. To think he could even stay conscious at all was a feat in itself. The footsteps grew louder and shouts were heard. Itachi shed a tear and looked at his brother with what the blonde had suggested, remorse and wanted nothing more than to help him but knew he couldn't, he had chosen this path and must walk it.
An Anbu team arrived at the scene but Itachi had already disappeared-to see Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto unconscious on the floor with some dead bodies spread around the street and no one alive or conscious. Dog arrived very shortly after and saw the scene and then saw Naruto and nearly had a heart attack and hastily commanded "Cat, get a big clean squad, Tenzo, get to Hokage-sama and the rest of you help me with these two to the hospital NOW!"
