Chapter Two: Power of the Eyes

"Not much of a chase demon… but that matters none… NOW DIE!"

'No… I… I… can't die, I have to become the Hokage… but if it ends here… that dream is dead…" thought Naruto. "NO I CAN'T DIE!" Naruto's eyes turned a dark crimson, with a dark pupil in the middle, surrounded by three tomoes, which slowly morphed into a three-bladed shuriken. (1) "Tsukuyomi." whispered Naruto.

The chunin soon found himself tied to a post, seemingly in the middle of nowhere. Red crimson filled the sky, with a lone moon. The colour in the realm is inverted, creating a creepy atmosphere. "Wh-where a-am I…" stutter the man, "WHERE THE HELL AM I!" he yelled, trying to gather his wits on what's happening. "This must be a demon trick… it has to be…" he said to himself, trying to reassure himself.

"Welcome scum… to the world of Tsukuyomi, where I control what happens." said an ominous voice. Naruto appears into view, startling the man. "For the next seventy-two hours, you will face the pain I face, the hardships and then some, and it will repeat. In the real world, only one second shall pass. Goodbye."

For what seemed like hours, the man was tortured. "Seventy-one hours, fifty-nine minutes and fifty-nine seconds to go."

On the outside, the man collapsed, mumbling incoherent sentences. Naruto's eye slowly reverted to three-tomoes, then to it's sky-blue. He begins to walk away, only to stumble back down onto the pavement. Tsukuyomi took a lot out of him. The last thing he saw before losing consciousness were three ANBU appearing in front of him, one of them with a dog mask and one with a cat mask. The other he could not recognize.

Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep.

Naruto opened his eyes to the invading light, that protruded from the ceiling. Looking around, he made a mental checklist. 'Hmm… White Walls? Check. Annoying beeping noise? Check. Light from the ceiling? Check. Yep, I'm in the hospital… again." Naruto slowly leans his back into the mattress, yawning.

'What happened yesterday, the weird world, and why was everything so much clearer seconds after I left?' pondered Naruto. 'Maybe I should ask the Old Man…' he concluded. As if on cue, the man appeared beside his bed in a poof of smoke, startling the poor boy.

"Ahh… Naruto, how are you feeling?" asked Sarutobi, concern laced into his eyes and words.

"Other then feeling like sh… I mean crap, I'm perfectly fine." replied the blonde, before asking, "Old Man, before I passed out, everything I saw seemed like it was crystal clear, I mean, I could literally see each and every crack in the wall and I was able to recognize it."

Sarutobi, pondered through the possible reasons. Sarutobi thought maybe it could be a bloodline from his mothers side, as he never knew his mother. "Naruto, try and channel chakra into your eyes."

Naruto nodded, and proceeded to do that task. What happened next amazed Sarutobi. His eyes became a crimson red, with three tomoes encircling the pupil in perfect proportions. 'The Sharingan… so that must mean his mother was a Uchiha.' thought the professor. "Well, Naruto it seems what caused that was the Sharingan, the doujutsu of the Uchiha clan. How you have fully mastered it at the age of five is unheard of."

Naruto, being curious, decided to pump a little bit more chakra in his eyes. The three tomoe morphed into the three-bladed shuriken. His vision seemed to have increased. "Old man, how come when I add more chakra, I can see even better?" Naruto asked curiously, completely oblivious to the slack-jawed and wide-eyed face of Sarutobi.

'Mangekyo, how does a kid, not older then five, have the accursed eye.' thought the professor. 'If anything, it's possibly due to the Kyuubi.' Regaining his composure, and clearing his through throat before responding, "This is intresting Naruto, it seems you have unlocked the highest level of the bloodline, the Mangeyko. Normally this stage of the bloodline develops when you kill a friend that is very close to you. However, I do not believe you have done that, so how you've obtained it is a mystery," said Sarutobi, finishing his small analysis.

Taking a puff of his pipe, he continued, "In the next week, I will contact the Uchiha's to find any information regarding the Mangeyko," said Sarutobi.

"Uh, Old Man…?" Naruto asked.

"Yes Naruto?" Sarutobi replied.

"I want to join the Ninja Academy. I want to stop these assaults, I want to be able to defend myself instead of relying on you…" He paused, "… I want to become someone people can respect, instead of believing that I am the Kyu… I mean a demon!" proclaimed Naruto, hoping that he didn't catch the 'Kyu' mishap. However, Sarutobi being a ninja is made to discover the smallest mistakes, and caught that one clearly.

Looking at Naruto with hardened eyes, "Naruto, How do you know about that Kyuubi?" He said, puffing his pipe, "and who told you?"

"Old Man, I've known about it since I was three…" he said, noticing the face of shock present over Sarutobi's face, "and to answer the second question, I found out myself. Taking the whiskers on my face, with the weird pattern on my stomach, along with my date of birth being the exact same day of the attack. It doesn't take a genius to figure it out." Naruto said.

'So he knows about the Kyuubi," he thought as he sighed. 'I'm to old for this shit…' chuckling mentally. "Anything else you know Naruto?" looking at him with a still-hardened gaze, but with a bit more concern and curiosity.

'Should I tell him? Yeah, he's the most important person in my life, I can trust him.' Naruto thought before concluding. "I… know that my father is… Minato Namikaze…" said Naruto, musing to himself at the greater shock on his face.

'How…' he thought, "How do you know that." he asked

"You're the Kami of Shinobi, old man, it should be extremely obvious of how I got that conclusion." Naruto paused before continuing. "I mean, blond hair, blue eyes, kinda obvious right?" Naruto said with a bit of sarcasm laced in the words.

'So he knows that too huh?' thought Sarutobi, before quoting your favorite lazy bum, 'Troublesome.' he mused. "Naruto, I think you should get some sleep, you've had a long few days. Tomorrow I'll walk you back to the orphanage, alright?" said the Sandaime before slowly walking out the doors until he was stopped by a voice.

"Uh, old man," Naruto said sheepishly, "The Orphanage kicked me out a year ago…"

Jutsu list:

Tsukuyomi: An extremely powerful genjutsu, which is only prominent in the Uchiha clan, more specifically, the Mangekyo Sharingan. The victim is affected by Tsukuyomi when he looks the caster in the eyes. The victim will then be trapped into a genjutsu, which they are strapped to a cross, and the caster can cause torture, both physically and mentally. The technique lasts for a second in the real world, but in the world of Tsukuyomi, it lasts for three days, and even time goes slower in that world. Currently this technique is unbreakable.
