Naruto, sick of the abuse of Konoha, after the failed Sasuke Retrieval, makes a pact with the beast inside him and is sent to Infinite City to lead a better life...

The Beginning of his End.

"Dammit Sasuke, I'm not letting you go to Orochimaru!" Naruto growls out as he powers up a Rasengan. Sasuke laughs and goes through the hand-signs for the Chidori. " Dobe, what makes you think that you have the power to stop me? The bonds between us as brothers is broken for now and forever." Sasuke puts on a face of melancholy and mutters, " I just wish it didn't have to come to this..."

"CHIDORI!"

"RASENGAN!

As he and Sasuke's attacks closed in on each other, Naruto made the mistake of looking into Sasuke's face. Naruto saw the pained look in his face and saw something that almost made him stop. A single tear, so out of place in a life or death situation like this that he almost didn't believe it. Sasuke was crying.

He was taken aback by this and then began to think. Naruto realized that if this kept up, one of them would die. On one hand, if he succeeds, Orochimaru does not get Sasuke and is forced to transfer his soul to someone else. On the other hand, if Sasuke wins but is heavily injured, he bleeds out and Naruto loses his brother in all but blood."Dammit Sasuke, I hate that I have to do this..." Naruto grits his teeth and powers the rasengan in his hand to at least a quarter of it's power so when this is over, he would still be too injured to go anywhere just as they smash into each other. A bright flash erupts from where Chidori met Rasengan. An explosion ensues and Naruto blacked out from overuse of the Kyuubi's chakra.

Naruto groans in pain and wakes up facedown in a semi flooded corridor. "Ugh, my head. What happened, where am I? The last thing I remember is-Sasuke!" As Naruto bolts up to find Sasuke, he hears a sound and prepares to fight."It's about time we talked, young one." As Naruto turns he sees a light in the somewhat dim hallway and assumes that he needs to walk that way.

As he goes down the hall, he stares at the walls and takes in the state of where he is at with a critical eye. The walls are cracked and is missing pieces of it. The floor is flooded up to his lower calf. As he slowly walks towards the light, he never notices the pair of eyes staring at him from behind.

Please Vote on a poll I have as to what happens to him in the next chapter please.
