This is an AU Sasuke and Sakura will OOC later on in the story while the others might have small changes
No Harems or three ways in any form, sorry I do not do them at all. I have nothing against them but I believe everyone should have one soul mate.
The title will not make sense till chapter two.
I do not own Naruto.

Chapter One
/
Naruto was now twelve years old as he was hoping to find something to help him become Hokage. Naruto would become Hokage, he was going to go and ask Jiji to help him train. He always told him he couldn't but Naruto didn't give up hell he wanted to get stronger but none of the teachers let him.
"I see so it was lost." Sarutobi said with a sigh.
"Yes the team we sent into the forest of death died shortly afterwards." Naruto heard another voice as he leaned closer listening in.
"I see it would have been a great asset to Konoha," The Hokage said.
"Yes but we can't afford to dispatch anyone at the moment perhaps in a month."
"I agree let's hope nothing happens to it." Sarutobi said.
"Yes, it would be ashamed to lose that scroll especially with the power it holds." Naruto's eyes widened as he ran off.
/
Naruto was now walking towards the forest of death trying not to be seen. "Hey dope what are you doing here!" Naruto turned and sighed, great it was Sasuke.
"What are you doing here?!" Naruto said as Sasuke scowled.
"I asked first dope." Naruto glared but then spoke.
"If you got to now I am looking for a scroll." Sasuke just grunted and spoke.
"There is no scroll here dope."
"Not here, Teme. It is in a forest." Naruto said as Sasuke raised a brow. "I overheard the Hokage say that a team lost a scroll in the forest of death and that it has great power with it I can become Hokage and kick your ass." Sasuke raised a brow.
"Not if I get their first dope." Naruto's eyes widened as he scowled.
"Oh yeah fine then it's a race!" Naruto declared as Sasuke nodded as the two was about to go off.
"I can help Sasuke-kun!" They turned and saw Sakura Haruno come up to them.
"Why would I need your help?" Sasuke said.
"Because I know where the forest is!" Sakura said as Sasuke narrowed his eyes and nodded.
"Wait can't you tell me Sakura-chan!" Naruto said as Sakura scowled.
"Why would I tell a loser like you?!" Sakura shouted as Naruto's eyes widened in hurt.
"Fine! I'll find it myself!" Naruto said and ran off.
/
Sasuke and Sakura were now at the gate of training ground forty four. "Yeah I overheard shinobi talking about it and well found out about it." Sakura said as Sasuke continued walking. "You're not going in there are you?!" Sakura asked surprised.
Sasuke turned he needed power to kill that man. "Yes I am if you're too weak then don't follow." Sasuke said as he went inside.
Sakura was about to only wait until she saw Naruto charged in the forest past Sasuke who ran.
"Crap I can't let Naruto Baka get it then it, this be nothing! If I get for Sasuke-kun maybe he will finally realize he loves me!" Sakura said to herself half shouting as she ran in the forest.
/
Sakura was now walking in the forest as she was wondering where the scroll was. Naruto had said it was in the forest but the forest was huge. Sakura was wondering what to do first when she then heard a growl.
Has she turned around she saw a large white tiger staring at her, Sakura began to back up only to stop against a tree. "Easy boy, nice tiger," Sakura tried only for the Tiger to growl.
As the Tiger leaped at Sakura she screamed out loud as hard as she could.
/
Sasuke was following Naruto as he wondered how the hell the blonde was so fast. It was then Sasuke heard a scream. On pure instinct he stopped and turned in the direction. It sounded like Sakura, don't tell me she followed. Sasuke thought as he dashed off.
Sasuke ran towards the direction of the scream, he saw Sakura about to be attacked as she was shielding herself. Sasuke began performing hand signs.
"Katon Great Fireball!"
Sasuke blew out a fireball at the tiger as the tiger leaped back and Sasuke jumped between them going into a Uchiha style stance. He was already panting from using the Jutsu and exhausting his reserves. Sasuke took out a kunai and got in a defense stance as the tiger leaped at him. Sasuke was going to stab it but it swatted him away before he could reach the tiger. Sasuke landed on the ground hard.
"Sa… Sasuke… kun." He heard Sakura say his name as he groaned and saw the tiger about to attack him. Sasuke couldn't defend himself in time.
Sasuke felt himself being thrown to the side then.
/
Naruto had just heard Sakura's scream as he turned around. He had no idea where he had been going he was only looking for the scroll but now he had to get there in time. Naruto saw Sasuke get thrown and about to be attacked.
Naruto picked up ran has he picked up Sasuke and tossed him hoping Sasuke would move in time. Naruto then felt something hit him. Screamed as the Tiger had slashed his chest, Naruto was lucky that it wasn't too deep.
Naruto groaned as he was still standing. "Dope!" Sasuke shouted.
"Teme we need to take care of this thing!" Sasuke nodded to Naruto and got in a stance.
Sakura felt so useless at the moment. She then noticed something, the tiger it had only attacked with its left claw!
"Sasuke-kun, Naruto the tiger its right side is its weakness! It only attacked with his left side!" Sakura shouted as Sasuke and Naruto nodded. Naruto pulled out a kunai with Sasuke gripping his ready to be thrown. Naruto ran as the tiger swiped has he jumped over the claw and strapped the Tiger's neck in a hand stand. Sasuke then threw his kunai at Naruto who caught it.
Naruto stabbed the Tiger's other side and then let gravity work has he slid the tiger's head clean off. Naruto dropped the head of the tiger as he then passed out.
/
"Hokage-Sama!" Sarutobi looked up and saw Izumo a newly appointed chunin.
"Sakura Haruno, Sasuke Uchiha, and Naruto Uzumaki are reported to have gone in the forest of death!"
"WHAT!" Sarutobi shouted.
"A group of kids overheard them arguing and said they went after a scroll in the forest, I stopped the kids from going after it before reporting sir!" The Hokage nodded he couldn't have more kids in their.
"I see…. Let's hope they survive." Sarutobi said.
"You aren't going to send in a team?"
"No, you see I had sent a team of chunins to retrieve that scroll and all were reported dead, currently all Jounins are on missions we cannot afford anyone."
"What about Anbu!" Izumo said as the Hokage shook his head no.
"A group of Anbu was sent on an S rank mission, the others Anbu's have to stand by in case of an emergency attack."
"What but surely we have more than enough Anbu!"
"No!" The Hokage shouted, he then grew a solemn look. "If I sent the Anbu available more than likely Naruto Uzumaki will die. They are all Kyuubi haters and would use this chance the best way for now is to wait and see." Izumo closed his eyes and nodded.
/
Sasuke was now with Sakura as they had placed Naruto by a steam and as Sakura was bandaging him up. "Why did he take the hit?" Sasuke asked himself as he looked at Naruto. They hated each other right?"
"Because it was the right thing to do," Naruto answered looking at Sasuke.
"What the hello dope you should sleep your hurt." Sasuke said as Naruto looked at him.
"I have had worse don't worry." Sasuke blinked, "I took the hit because even if you hate me and I hate you we are still comrades in the future Teme." Sasuke blinked, "And I will do anything to protect a comrade." Naruto said before sleeping again.
"Wait what do you mean you have had worse?" Sasuke asked only for Naruto to sleep, Sakura watched the entire exchange only thinking about how useless she had been, maybe if she got the scroll she wouldn't be as useless.
"I'm sorry." Sakura said looking at Sasuke. Sasuke raised a brow.
"I was just useless and I only came in here to try and get you to like me… I only got you and Naruto hurt. I'm sorry Sasuke." Sasuke noticed the drop of the Kun and smirked.
"Finally," Sasuke said as Sakura blinked.
"You aren't mad?" Sakura asked.
"Hell ya I am, if you hadn't come in me and Naruto probably wouldn't have gotten hurt." Sakura hung her head. "But maybe you will stop being annoying now."
"Sasuke… how am I annoying?" Sasuke glared at her. "Am I that bad?" Sasuke nodded as Sakura sighed. She then looked at her kunai pouch and shook her head.
"So do you know how to get out of here?" Sasuke asked as Sakura spoke.
"Uhm… I am kind of… no good at Navigation." She admitted as Sasuke nodded.
"I guess we need to wait for him to wake up, I got lost running back over here." Sasuke said as Sakura nodded, they couldn't carry a wounded Naruto lost it would only hinder them.
/
Naruto woke up as he then saw Sakura sitting near him and Sasuke leaning against a tree. "Hey Sakura, where did you get these bandages?" Naruto asked as they both jumped not expecting him to be awake yet.
"How the hell or you awake it's only been two hours."
"I heal fast," Naruto replied and looked at the bandages.
"It seems like it," Sasuke replied inside he was glad Naruto. "Naruto what did you mean you have had worse?" Naruto's eyes widened as he looked between them and sighed. No use hiding it.
"The villagers," Naruto said as they both blinked. "They... they like to attack me." Both their eyes widened. "I don't know why but on my birthday they attack me I was lucky to avoid it this year." Naruto said as Sakura gulped.
"Why? Why would they attack you."
"I don't KNOW!" Naruto screamed and calmed then looked at them with sad eyes. "It's always happend, I can't remember a day I wasn't hated. Anytime I would make a friend they would say their parents told them I was a demon and leave." Sakura's eyes widened as she realized why she hated Naruto.
"Stay away from him!"
"But why?" A little Sakura asked her mom.
"He is a demon and don't question what I say!"
"Why would they do that?" Sakura asked wide eyed.
"I don't know why it just happens." Naruto said as Naruto was trying not to cry. He then felt two people hug him. He felt Sasuke and Sakura there.
"Dope shut up all of them are idiots." Sasuke said.
"We will be your friends Naruto." Sakura said has Naruto hugged them back letting tears flow.
/
Sarutobi watched in his crystal ball. "So he finally made friends." The Hokage then let out a sad tired smile.
"Now to only get you out of their alive," Sarutobi thought out loud.
/
Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura were now all waking up as they decided to sleep for the night. "So were to now?" Naruto asked.
"We are going out of this place." Sasuke said as Naruto spoke.
"I'm staying." Naruto said as they both turned towards him shocked. "I am finding that scroll." Naruto stated as Sasuke scowled.
"Look that scroll is not more important than your life!" Sasuke said.
"Look I don't care what you two do, but I am not given up! I don't care if it takes a hundred years to find that damn scroll! I never quit! I never give! That is my NINDO my NINJA WAY!"
Naruto shouted shocking Sasuke and Sakura as they looked at each other.
"Fine let's get going dope." Sasuke said as Sakura nodded and followed.
/
Naruto was now starving as he continued walking as was Sakura and Sasuke. "Hey dope let's get something to eat we can come back, we just need to find a way out."
"What!" Naruto nearly shouted.
"Listen when we get the scroll how are we going to get out if we don't know a way. Let's find or way out before we starve to death." Naruto thought about and sighed.
"Yeah I g..." Naruto pushed Sakura out the way as Kunai hit him in the chest making Sasuke's
eyes widened.
Naruto had senbon thrown into him has he fell down. Sasuke was too shocked to move at the moment until a voice spoke.
"Well that brat went down easy." A woman with a Kumo head band appeared as he glanced at them. More Senbon appeared in her hand as she got ready to attack. "Sorry but no one is getting this scroll."
Sasuke charged while Sakura tried to pull out the senbon in Naruto. Sasuke swung only for the women to lean back and throw some more senbon sticking in his arm. Sasuke started hand signs only for the woman to grab his hand.
"Too slow," She said as she went to hit him only to be tackled by Naruto. Naruto had come out of his trance when Sakura pulled out the senbon as he reared his fist back only to be kicked off of the woman.
"Alright I was going to only maim you now I will kill you." She said pulling out Kunai along with Naruto. Sasuke pulled out the senbon in his arm and threw them at her as he pulled out a kunai.
The woman easily deflected them as the senbon were now on the ground. The woman then flung her kunai at Naruto who dodged it. However his eyes widened when the kunai hit Sakura's shoulder who screamed out.
Naruto and Sasuke both went to her as he pulled out the kunai.
"Oh brats come on I don't have all day." The woman said as Naruto and Sasuke were ready to charge. "This girl she looks like she spends so much time on her hair, a true Konoichi doesn't care about her hair, she doesn't spend hours for such meaningless task she is a disgrace." The woman said as Sakura gripped a kunai.
Taking the kunai she cut her hair surprising everyone. The next thing was even move of a surprise as she slit her palm letting it bleed.
"I won't be useless!" She shouted out. "I am tired of being watching Naruto and Sasuke save me!" She shouted. "I'll get stronger! To save myself and protect Sasuke and Naruto! I won't be useless anymore!" She shouted out as she clenched her bloody hand. "I vow this on my own blood!"
Sasuke and Naruto grinned, both cutting their palms. "And we will also get stronger!" Sasuke shouted out as Naruto then grinned.
"As brothers and Sister or vow will be heard." Each of them spoke at once.
"As brothers and sister." They all said at the same time.
/
Sarutobi now had a team of Anbu who wouldn't kill Naruto lined up as they all were informed. "Now then your mission is simple bring Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, and Sasuke Uchiha back unharmed." Sarutobi said as they nodded.
The Anbu nodded as they left. "Do you think they will be alright?" Izumo asked him.
"I am sure we have the old Anbu Captain with them." Sarutobi replied.
"Huh the old Anbu Captain you mean Inu?" Kotestu asked as he was standing beside Izumo.
/
Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura all charged forward at the Woman. She had been surprised by their little speech but then only thought of it as a way to boost morale. She then had to dodge a swipe from a kunai by Sasuke. Naruto then ran up and leaped of his back propelling himself towards her as she dodged getting her check scratched.
Sakura Then rushed forward after evading her kunai to do some hand signs and then strike. The women knocked her hand away and punched Sakura. Sakura then turned into a log as she rent for ward. The women turned to face her only to get slashed from behind by Sasuke.
She turned to attack only for Naruto to throw his Kunai at her as she deflected it she got kicked by Sasuke. The woman began flipping back barely dodging Sakura's thrust as she was in front of them.
"You brat," She said as she spoke.
"I wanted to try this out." The woman said opening a scroll.
"What is that?" Naruto asked as Sakura and Sasuke stood beside him all in a ready stance.
"I'm guessing that's the scroll." Sasuke said as the woman grinned.
"Now you see this here is special. This scroll is special you see. Not only does it absorb your chakra permanently it gives it all to me." The woman said with a grin as their eyes widened. They charged at her as she tossed the scroll up and began hand seals.
"Ninjutsu secret art Absorption!"
All three of them fell to the ground as chakra began to grew out of them. Sasuke glared at her as she grinned. Trying to get up but it felt like they all had a thousand pounds on them.
"Oh a Uchiha this is good." Sasuke's eyes widened. "Yes I see you awakened your Sharingan." Sasuke looked at her forehead project and in the reflection he saw he had the Sharingan at the first stage.
"Now you see this also works with Bloodlines." She grinned at Sasuke's horrified thought. They then felt a shit load of power erupt from Naruto. Red Chakra began pouring into the scroll.
"Oh a Jinchuuriki as well this is my lucky day." Naruto blinked.
"Jin... Jinchuuriki?"
"You don't know." The women said with a grin. Naruto looked at the scroll along with Sasuke and Sakura. Naruto and Sasuke began to growl with rage as Naruto began to direct his Chakra to Sasuke and Sakura.
"Hit the scroll while you can." They noticed that Naruto's chakra was protecting their from being stolen. Sasuke began performing hand signs as he got on a knee somehow Sakura pulling out some Kunai as Sasuke's and there's were still being stolen just not at the same pace.
"Katon Great fireball!" Sasuke shouted shooting a giant fire ball at the scroll as Sakura hit the Ninja stopping her from doing anything. The scroll then burned up as the pressure fell.
"Is... is it over..." Naruto asked. They next thing they saw was a blinding light before they all passed out.
