Author's Notes: Edited!

The way I write:

"I'm talking for no reason." For normal talking.

"I'm thinking in my head." For thoughts.

"Kyubbi thinking in my head, for some reason." For Kyuubi talking inside Naruto's head.

While I'm talking I might italicize something to show the way they talk and so on.

Jutsu's are bold. As well as an emphasized word in thoughts, "I remembered something about melons."


Chapter One:

The brilliant blue irises widened absorbing the—horror surrounding him. Wind whipped through the blondes' hair as storm clouds brewed overhead. "I never thought of it before but—why is it that the weather is always so dreadful whenever stuff like this happens?" He almost wanted to chuckle — just to try and push away the… guilt. The crushing feeling was the same as sinking into ice capped water. Desolate.

Cold seeped in, slowly numbing his limbs. But he couldn't shiver; to shiver was like he wanted to shake away the scene around him. To dismiss reality and life sacrificed. He couldn't, but he wanted to beg for it—to be released from these burdens.

He blankly gazed at the carnage around in. Bodies strewn across the ground. Red liquid trickled from holes made in flesh. He realized vaguely that the liquid was, in fact, blood. It pooled around his feet as if to comfort him with its warmth.

He was at the point where any normal shinobi would have broken but as it always was with him and his life someone always had to — the hand that weakly touched the blondes' ankle brought him back. His gaze was brought down reluctantly but quickly to the feeble fingers touching his heel through his sandal. Slender and dainty hands. Ghostly white smeared with ruby red liquid. He knew who it was, which was what brought his unwillingness to look into those beautiful milky violet eyes. Those eyes that show tender love whenever he looked at her.

He bent down immediately, his face only a couple inches away from hers. Again that liquid tainted her pure white face, slowly dripping down the corner of her mouth.

"Hinata." His voice cracked in agony. He cupped her gentle face in his hand and stroked her silky hair.

A soft smile was his reply.

"Hinata?" He said breathlessly.

"I believe in you always, Naruto." With her last whisper of breath, blood dribbled out of her mouth and the hole in her abdomen. As if she had been holding herself together just for that moment —as if signifying she was gone — as if she was dead.

He gently shook her shoulder.

"No, no. Please don't leave me, Hime." But there was no response to his wish.

Even in her dying breath she had made him continue on with his vow. Like she knew he would want to give up. "When had this started to seem less like a duty and more like a curse?" Naruto wanted to laugh at the irony. He vowed he would break the cycle of hatred and bring peace to this world, but all he wanted to do right now was break himself out of the curse of his vow.

His lips trembled, he pressed them together as he shook his head.

Finally, a soft chuckle vibrated his chest. Slowly turning into laughter— grief-stricken laughter. His head turned upward with tears running down his face. His tormented laughing slowly stopped shaking his body. The tears didn't stop as he looked once again at the wreckage around him. It wasn't just one precious person that was dead, many of the villagers and shinobi were as well.

Not all of them were dead, which gave him hope enough to hear the barely discernible footsteps on the demolished Hokage building. Naruto snapped his attention to the sound. His cerulean eyes widened and then his pupil slit vertically in anger at the reason behind this massacre.

"Sasuke." He growled menacingly.

"Kukukuku…You know if you can laugh at the sight of your own lover's death I think you might be more insane than you think I am." Sasuke raised his eyebrow mockingly. "Or—of course— it's because you're stupid." He tapped his chin with his finger, "Although I would lean more for the latter. You do realize their deaths are your fault right?"

Naruto snarled. But all he could think was "Please, no. Not again."

Sasuke sighed dramatically, "I suppose I should get on with it and — well, make you disappear actually." The avenger smiled insanely, his Sharingan activating.

The blonde sighed mentally at the Uchiha's antics "Madara, Obito, Sasuke; what was up with all of them?" and took one last moment to himself to close Hinata's eyelids. He ran a finger down the beauty's cheek with his calloused hand. Even in death, she was stunning. His blue eyes hardened with resolve as he stood and took a defensive position facing — the cause of all this destruction.

He knew he should ask 'why?' to the person he once called brother, but the more truthful words on his mind were made known.

"What the fuck, Sasuke?"

Sasuke's twisted smile pulled wider. He inhaled a large amount of air in order to explain, when Naruto held up a hand to stop him.

"Actually, I don't need to know your answer. It's the same old bullshit with every evil shinobi I've come across. Power, money, revenge... But most of all is hate. And I get it, Sasuke." Skin scrunched up around his deep blue eyes—that easily showed his feelings when he wasn't calm— and focused on the person who had killed his precious people.

"I really do."

"Well, yeah. I killed just about everybody in Konoha. I would be surprised if you didn't."

"Kami, you're awful." He didn't see the point in reasoning with the mad man anymore.

Hearing no response except for the evil "Kukukuku" bullshit, the time for talk was over. Good. Naruto gathered natural chakra and went into Sage mode while Sasuke's eyes changed to a shape that was all too familiar on a different Uchiha.

Naruto was already being sucked into another dimension. In an effort to do as much damage as he could in the small amount of time he had, he shot a Fuuton: Chakra Blade from his right hand. It shot through the air, barely visible and cut across Sasuke's precious Sharingan eyes. Satisfaction tingled through him as he saw the lesion in the eyes and the screaming of Sasuke Uchiha, so belatedly he realized that the jutsu didn't cancel and he was still being sucked into a hole—to a different dimension. He felt his guts twist unpleasantly along with other body parts.

He forced his hand to throw a Tri-prong kunai. It flew through the hole but he was unable to see where it landed—due to the fact that the dimension was covering up most of his vision.

He hoped it worked when only a bundle of his hair was poking through the hole, because all he could see was black, and that was not how he wanted to end his days, in a sea of blackness. He mentally shuddered as he focused on the Hiraishin seal attached to his Tri-prong kunai. This being his first real attempt in using the Flying Thunder God technique, he used a lot of chakra to try and transport to the kunai outside the dimension.

The rip in the dimension closed up.

Nothing happened.

"… Shi—"

Naruto's body was strangled even more than it was previously as light flashed before his eyes. His face planted in dirt. "Wait. Ground? Wasn't I in a dimensional void or something? Wow, I swear I was gonna be stuck there forever." Exhaustion from chakra depletion kept him from moving for a couple minutes. The sounds of people around him motivated and confused him enough to lift up his head.

"Okay… where am I?"

A voice said something that he couldn't make out before he leaned his body to the side and passed out. The last thing that he felt was hands picking him up off the ground.


A/N:

Okay so I felt like writing something different and this is was I started, I have several more chapters started but I was wondering how the first would be received.

And I do (sorta) have a plot planned out, at least what I generally want to do with it.

Edited! A/N:

Well I edited the chapters I already have posted for this story and I'm adding new chapters that I have ready, just so you know... I know I took awhile... and I'm thinking of changing the name of the story... I like the knew name I picked out since it has more to do with the actual story I wrote, hehehe.
