Disclaimer: I do not have the rights to naruto, its characters or its world… but it would be cool if I did… I'm sure every writer on this site, would think that it would be awesome if some of their fanfictions would become cannon!

Warning: Yeah this one is going to be Rated M like all of my fics are… because I like to put colorful lingo, bloody guts & gore, and steamy bits in my stories…

A/N: Hello I'm writing this thing to get out of a funk I'm experiencing with my other NaruSaku fic...

"Spoken words"

"Thinking"

"Tailed beasts/Inner personalities"

Summary: What if during Sasuke's and Naruto's first fight at the valley of the end, Orochimaru had ordered some of his Otonin, to bring Naruto back to Otogakure no Sato? How will everything change? Let us find out.

"Why do you need him?" the youngest Uchiha asks in a hiss as he glares at the rouge Sanin. Orochimaru's eyes never leave the table where Naruto is laid out, as he gives his answer "You could use someone to push you harder when you fight… after the spectacle that my scouts saw, I think he would be useful to you." The former Akatsuki member raises his hands high as chakra forms around his fingers before he slams them down around the eight trigrams seal… Naruto wakes with a scream of agony, a scream that would echo throughout Otogakure no Sato.

As Kakashi arrives at the gates of Konoha, Sakura would notice, that he is completely alone as he walks solemnly, his head hung low as he grips two Hitai-ate in one hand, and an all to familiar blood-drenched orange coat in the other. "Jiraya Sama is going to kill me when he finds out… then Minato Sensei is going to destroy me in the afterlife… Rin and Obito too… I let another comrade die." are the thoughts going through the mind of Kakashi.

Kakashi couldn't even look up to face Sakura when she asked the question he dreads, "Where is Naruto?" he just waved for her to follow as he thinks, "Naruto… I'm sure he is smiling down on Sakura right now… she asked about him, and not Sasuke…" Not a single word would be said as the two would make their way to the Hokage office.

"Oh, Naruto… you are awake." Kabuto says as the Jinchuriki opens his eyes, only for his face to swiftly warp in pain. The medic-nin puts a small cup to Naruto's lips saying, "Drink Naruto, then I can take you to Sasuke." Naruto's eyes widen as he opens his mouth thinking "he is going to take me to Sasuke?" while drinking all of the bitter liquid.

"I'm afraid… that Naruto is already dead… or soon will be." Kakashi says grimly, bringing Sakura to tears and making Tsunade pale. "Naruto is alive… Orochimaru would have had his ninja leave a corpse… I'm sure he plans on keeping Naruto live… to keep the Kyuubi out of the hands of the Akatsuki… we need to notify the other villages… Sunagakure and Kirigakure at least… now I'm leaving to gather intel on Orochimaru, so we can save Naruto… I want you two to be ready… got that Kakashi? Sakura?" Jiraiya says as he walks to the window and leaps out, leaving everyone standing around in shock.

"Ah… welcome Naruto, come sit down with us." Orochimaru says in a twisted but sweet way, as Naruto walks into the room with Kabuto behind him. Sasuke would look at Naruto as he gesture to the cushion beside him. "Why am I here?" Naruto asks as he halts several feet from the table as Orochimaru starts to serve tea.

"You are here because I need you Dobe… and you won't be mistreated here like you were back in the village." Sasuke says as Kabuto makes Naruto sit down, next to the Uchiha. "What are you talking about?" Naruto asks while he is glaring at Orochimaru and Kabuto.

"The people of the leaf, they hate you because of the Monster that was sealed inside of you… when you are a hero because of it… you are the reason why the nine tails didn't destroy the village Naruto." Orochimaru says, putting Naruto into a state of shock and surprise… but it would be broken when he would hear a voice call out from the back of his mind "DONT LISTEN TO THE HONEYED WORDS OF THIS SILVER TOUNGED SNAKE! KIT YOU NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE!"

Naruto shakes his head as he thinks, "Maybe I could get Sasuke to come back to the leaf with me… I need to keep my promise to Sakura… I need to bring him back…" then the voice would chime in "Then you should play along with this kit… and deceive the snake, and take the Teme back to her!"

A/N: yeah this is supposed to be a prologue to the rest of the story… and I know how much people hate cliff hangers… but I also understand why they can be useful… now I hope this gets some people excited for the actual first chapter, that I am going to try and get out ASAP so it might even come out the same day as this is posted!
