For those who walked into Konoha, it seemed like a paradise. Everyone knew everyone, people were smiling, and the sound of laughter commonly filled the air. Konoha was the most peaceful of the Five Great Hidden Villages, and everyone, no matter ninja or civilian, was treated fairly.
But there was one boy who shut himself off from the rest of the village, walking around an old compound at night. This boy was Sasuke Uchiha, the sole survivor of the Uchiha Clan Massacre in which his elder brother, Itachi, killed everyone in the Uchiha Clan. Sasuke was walking around the Uchiha Compound slowly, almost like he was lost. He rubbed his hand on a few of the walls, sometimes stopping to stare at a bloodstain on the wall here and there.
He eventually reached his house, and walked inside. He shuffled down the hall, pausing briefly to glare at the door to Itachi's room. Sasuke's role in life was that of an Avenger, one who would get revenge on Itachi for massacring the clan. Itachi said it was 'to test his capacity'. Sasuke saw Itachi as not his brother, but as a monster, a demon.
Sasuke eventually entered the room where his parents were murdered, unaware of the person standing there until they caught his attention.
"Good to see you, Sasuke." Sasuke whirled around to see the person in the room, and furrowed his brows in confusion.
"What are you doing here?...Naruto." Naruto chuckled softly, before motioning to a small table with two cups of tea and a candle on it. "Sit with me, Sasuke."
Sasuke cautiously made his way over to the table, and the two boys sat in the seiza position. Naruto calmly took a sip of tea, while Sasuke studied Naruto's face. Naruto appeared relaxed, and far too calm.
"Drink your tea. It is not poisoned, and it is quite disrespectful to leave it there." Sasuke jerked to attention, and took a sip of the tea. It tasted quite good.
"What do you want, Naruto."
"...It hurts, doesn't it?" Sasuke looked at Naruto strangely. Naruto, seeing this, began speaking.
"Losing your family like this. And to your brother, no less...It hurts to be alone. I understand that, being alone all my life, but for someone like you who had a family than lost it..." Sasuke slammed his hand on the table, interrupting Naruto. "What do you want, Naruto?!"
"I wish to make a deal." The light from the candle reflected off of Naruto's face strangely, making his face seem paler. "I will assist you in killing Itachi Uchiha...and you help me become Hokage." The two sat in silence for a while after that, a small stream of cold air blowing into the room.
"How could you help me kill Itachi! Your grades are horrible, you rarely go to class, and you constantly play pranks around the village! How could a dobe like you help me kill him?!" Sasuke was yelling at this point. Naruto sat calmly, took another sip of his tea, than spoke again.
"What do you know of the Kyuubi No Kitsune?"
The question stunned Sasuke into silence, until he answered. "It attacked nine years ago...the Yondaime killed it, right?" Naruto smirked, and pulled his shirt up as a complicated black seal appeared on his stomach.
Naruto looked at Sasuke's confused expression. He spoke, clarifying. "The Yondaime sealed the Kyuubi into a newborn child...me. I was born on that very night, and what other choice did he have?"
Sasuke was shocked. The Uchiha Clan had books on the Jinchuuriki, and tales of their power were well known throughout the Elemental Nations. "Than...you can control it?! You can kill Itachi?!"
Naruto nodded. "I can direct the Kyuubi's power slightly. But that's where you come in. By using the power of the Sharingan, you can assist me in using the Kyuubi's power for my own goals."
Sasuke shuddered, an unsettling feeling coming upon him. He looked at Naruto's pale face, the slight ghostly smirk, and he almost wanted to run. But as he looked, Naruto was replaced with Itachi, and his dead parents...Sasuke extended his hand, shaking Naruto's, unaware of how his destiny had just been changed.
"Deal."
