So it'll be better and only have slight similarities throughout. so without further stalling... REGULAR PV

The sun shone through the window, blindingly bright. Just like the hair of the boy it was shinning on. Said boy rolled over, sighing as he laid on his bed; he had been awake for an hour or so now but was enjoying his solitude, while it lasted. He knew that in a matter of moments his day would begin and he wouldn't get a break from the nagging, annoying people for many hours. He sat up in his bed, hating his life. He hadn't had a normal life since he was a child of five and though, he knew, many people were more than willing to give up their current living situations for everything he had. He wished the opposite. He would give anything, and he meant absolutely anything, for the life he had, for the people he knew, for the love he had felt.

" Master Naruto! It is time to get up." A woman called as she entered the room. Naruto sighed a little as he pushed the covers off of his frame. A group of women entered after the first, all of them chatting amongst themselves about how wonderful and important he was. It was like having his own worshipers…That were, at any moment, completely ready to stab him in the back. The only reason they waited on his hand and foot was because of his importance to the King. A man Naruto hated with every ounce of his being. " You have a very busy day today! The King has assured me of that and he wanted you to get the message, though I'm already pretty sure you already knew, isn't that right?"

Though Naruto heard the sting of sarcasm in her tone; she was right. There was a reason why he was such a prize, to anyone. He could see into the future, a trait he inherited from his mother, who had been a Sorceress. The Uzumaki clan had always been a prize and for those who succeeded in catching one, well, the spoils would go to them. Many very evil people had rose to people because of their fortune in catching one. Naruto was no exception. He had been taken from his family when he was just a small child by the very man who was housing him in such lavishness.

It wasn't as though he was taking it all in silence though, well not at first. He had run away plenty of times, only to be caught days later and then punished severely. Naruto had learned around the time of his eighth birthday that escape was far less than futile, it was impossible. So he kept silent for the most part, letting 'his' King rule him and use him as he pleased.

" Naruto." The blond turned his head towards the door, all of the women around him froze in their spots.

Speak of the Devil.

The King was named Danzo, an aging man who had been the top warrior and soldier in his prime. He was still a force to be reckoned with now, but not nearly as fearsome as he used to be. It had been rumored that he had killed the previous King, Sarutobi. The world had broken out into many wars and destruction since Danzo had become King and more than just the rebellion forces were suffering. Naruto knew that all too well from the many dreams he was having. All of this was killing him on the inside; he wondered how long he could keep hold on himself before Danzo stole that from him too.

" You, wenches." He commanded, his voice was rough with age and even though one of his eyes were covered up, the other could glare just fine. All the women were shaking with slight fear from just hearing his voice. Naruto wanted to roll his eyes, at least they didn't have to spend all day with him. " I want Naruto ready in no more than one hour. If you do not succeed in doing so, I'll see to it that all of your loose something very precious to you. And I do assure you, it will be something you will miss."

The door was slammed shut behind him and all the women suddenly sprang to life. Many of them pulling at his clothing as they led him into the bathing room. It hadn't been the first time Danzo had threatened this and it most assuredly wouldn't be the last, but it was terrifying no matter what.

He was stripped down in a matter of seconds and was forced into a large tub, the cold tile made him shiver. The women didn't look to sympathetic, they never did. Nothing of Naruto's was on the line so why should they care about him? A woman stepped towards the tub, opening her mouth and letting water flow into the tub. Naruto had always found that practice disgusting but after so many years of seeing it, he had come to realize it was part of life. The woman was a water conjurer, someone who had completely control over the element. In fact most of these women had some kind of conjuring skill. Like the one he was staring at, she was a fire conjurer and was incharge of heating up his water. He gave her a sideways look and she walked over to a large pipe. She breathed into it, making the connecting pipes shake with the heat being forced through them.

The fire reached the tub and started to heat up the water. He signaled for the woman to stop when steam rose from the surface, caressing his face as it passed up through the air before disappearing. He wished very much to do the same but knew thoughts like that bred nothing but hope, something he gave up on a long time ago.

The women were washing him in silence. He remember all the times he had protested about them doing it, screaming and thrashing around about how he could easily do it all himself but Danzo had 'convinced' him otherwise and ever since then, he just let them do as they pleased. A hand went into his hair, rubbing the sweet smell soaps and oils into his scalp. He closed his eyes, letting the sensation take over.

A sense of uneasiness came over him then, making fear settle in his stomach. He reopened his eyes and saw a woman leaping at him with a poison tipped blade, he screamed a little pulling his arms up by his face. He noticed that there were no soaps in his hair and that the tub had been drained which meant one thing. This moment hadn't happened yet.

Naruto blinked, finding that he had slipped under the water to wash out all the soaps and oils on his skin. He shot up instantly, taking a deep breath when he hit the surface. The women around him stopped what they were doing, a worried look coming onto their faces as Naruto clutched his chest and looked around. The woman who was going to attack him was the only one who didn't seem concerned. Her brown eyes shone with something he had seen plenty of times, hatred. Her purple hair fell over her eyes as she reached down into the folds of her dress, pulling the dagger from the compartment on her leg. Naruto saw this move and jumped out of the tub as the dagger went flying at the spot he used to be. The woman who had been sitting behind Naruto gasped as she reached up, feeling the blade in her chest. She reached up, gripping the handle but before she could pull it out, fell to the side, dead.

" Damn you. Why won't you just accept your fate and die? The world would be right once more if your blood is spilled onto the Earth!" She screamed at Naruto, she moved over to the dead body, all the women screaming bloody murder as she approached them. She tugged the dagger out, aiming it in Naruto's direction, she tossed it as though it was second nature. Naruto knew then that she was one of the assassins from the rebel forces; he had been hounded by them since Danzo captured him. Which had been almost thirteen years ago.

Naruto was too petrified to move but three guards came running in. One of them moving in front of the blond and catching the dagger in between two fingers as the woman was tackled to the ground by the two other guards. She was cursing and thrashing underneath the strong men. They pulled her to her feet as Danzo entered the room, clapping a little.

" Impressive." He said walking up to the woman, grabbing her face and squeezing it between his pointer and thumb. She grunted a little but then screamed in agony as the sick crunching of bone could be heard. " I knew one of you rats slipped in, but I didn't know that they were sending a woman. Ha, that's quite a new trick…Take her to the dungeon, tomorrow she will beheaded in front of the entire village. We know that there are more hiding amongst us, maybe your death will scare out a few rats…" Danzo laughed then as she was dragged out of the room. He glanced over at Naruto, who was hiding his body with a small robe a guard had thrown to him. It barely covered his manhood and showed a good bit of thigh. " Are you alright, my precious?"

Naruto glanced up at him and started to laugh a little. " Oh yes, I was almost murdered by someone you knew was here and did nothing to stop until it was almost too late, making me believe that I'm really nothing more than a toy for you. But, you know, other than that, I'm completely fine!" He glared at the man before him and Danzo just shook his head as he walked up to the blond. He placed his hand on the blond's thigh making shivers of disgust shoot up his spine.

" Ha, need I remind you again of your fate? After you've helped me take over the world and assure me my throne, I will make you my wife. You will be the most powerful person because I will be at your beck and call; that's the love I show you, real love. Don't forget it." Danzo turned away from the blond and looked at the women who were cowering, still sitting on the ground next to the tub. " You, wenches, get up and have some dignity. Finish your preparations with Naruto, you still have twenty minutes." The women bolted up from their places, pulling Naruto into his bedroom. He glanced back at the remaining guard who was looking over the fallen woman. " Summon the Undertaker, he'll have this place cleaned in no time."

" Yes My Lord." He said but the man faltered, falling to the side. Danzo looked down at him, noting that his eyes were bloodshot and bulging from his skull. The dagger that woman had was poisoned. He shook his head a little. The rebel forces were getting more and more crafty.

" Uh, I always have to do everything myself." He muttered under his breath as he left the room to go and find the Undertaker. That man was going to have a very busy day.
-

It was loud, extremely loud. Itachi sighed a little, leaning around a tree, spotting a drunk guard taking a piss in the middle of the forest. He figured this was why there was almost no Barbarians left in the world. They were all too stupid, having lavish parties that attracted anything within a few miles to their location; though he couldn't really think of it that way since they had managed to capture his little brother.

Itachi could only surmise it was because Sasuke had been sleeping or doing something that normally wouldn't hinder his ability to fight, he was an Uchiha after all. One of the few remaining demons in the entire world, so he was a very prized person at the moment, especially after death.

Three generations ago there had been a rumor spread throughout the world that killing and eating a demon meant gaining their powers. It was only slightly partially true, eating demons did make humans more powerful…If they survived the poisonous flesh. Some did, but most suffered the affects of the toxic skin and meat; dying, usually, in a puddle of their own vomit and blood. They would be dead within seconds of ingestion but the pain was still terrible. The survivors were able to pass their powers down to their children, making almost every clan of humans able to use magic. A extremely troubling prospect for demons since the powers gained only made them that much more valuable to hunt.

Itachi shook his head of those thoughts, this was not the time to think about his slight disdain he had for humans. The practice of eating demons was nearly nonexistent now due to the fact that most demons were dead or in hiding, except, of course, for the useful ones like dragons. They were practically livestock now.

The Uchiha stepped silently, his movements lightning fast as he pulled a dagger from his cloak and slit the guard's throat. He instantly attached his lips to the dripping neck, sucking the very blood from his veins. There were two reasons for doing this, one was so he wouldn't leave any suspicious evidence that would alert more guards and the second was because he needed it to live. He was constantly being mistaken for a vampire but it wasn't just the blood he was removing, but the very life force. The souls of humans helped refuel a demon's powers, especially if they were injured or about to die.

He gripped the throat with his teeth, chewing it up and sucking up the pulpy mess his teeth were creating. He felt the man's heart slowing, and could taste the alcohol in his veins, it was making him slightly buzzed. He pulled back when his heart stopped and put his mouth on top of the man's, the soul always came out of there. He sucked and a burst of power filled Itachi, making him smirk as he pulled the dead body off into the woods where it wouldn't noticed. He knew that the scavenger animals would be upon it soon.

He moved swiftly, there had only been that one guard and Itachi shook his head. That was definitely another reason why these people were morons. They had no defense. He approached the large hunting cabin, seeing it decorated with many different bones and pelts and deciding that the best way in was probably the roof. He jumped up, landing silently, not even crunching the snow under his boots. He smirked a little as he strode across, smelling the air as he went. The air was thick with fire and smoke, no doubt that it was meant to be a cooking fire. He got on his knees and bent over the roof, looking into one of the many windows of the cabin. And sure enough he saw his little brother, sealed to a cross. He was smirking madly at the extensively frustrated human before him. Itachi had no doubt that Sasuke was mentally taunting and goading the man. Sasuke seemed as though he had a plan and Itachi thought that maybe following after him was a wasted venture.

But his thoughts were instantly taken away from that when Sasuke screamed out in pain, bringing many cheers and applause from the crowd. It didn't surprise Itachi anymore to think Sasuke had been beaten by this bunch of idiots, they weren't Barbarians, they were Rogue Priests, holy beings that had abandoned their posts in temples to live a life of demon slaying and purging, which meant that they weren't going to eat Sasuke, they were trying to cleanse him.

Itachi knew if he didn't act fast, Sasuke was a goner. He flipped into the window, breaking the glass but no one noticed because of the cheering and blaring of instruments. He was easily able to slink his way across the room towards his brother, who could instantly tell Itachi had arrived. He gave no indication though, the last thing they needed was Itachi's position to be given away. Some of the more skilled Priests were noticing Itachi's presence and he grabbed an seal releasing dagger. He tossed it, moving positions and throwing another, and repeating the process so there were five daggers flying through the room. It was to confuse his enemies and had worked, all of them were freaking out, hitting and running into each other as they attempted to flee.

Sasuke felt the daggers break the seal and he fell to his feet, thankful to no longer be crucified. It would have been an extremely long, painful process to be burned to death. He smirked a little as the Priests surrounding him stepped back, the fear leaking into their features. Sasuke closed his eyes and opened his hand, his sword removed itself from the wall, a trophy wall he assumed, and made its way back to him. He pulled it from its sheath, staring at the amount of enemies behind him and how many were trying to escape. He smirked. No one messes with the Uchiha clan.

Itachi was beheading countless Priests, spilling their blood on the floor and the walls. The scent reached Sasuke's nose and he felt something in the pit of his stomach, hunger. He growled lowly in his throat as he rampaged into the group of Priests; they shrieked with terrors as their throats were slashed and ripped out. Sasuke drank up the blood; it was now staining his clothes making the already black cloth seem even darker. He took a deep breath through his nose, pulling some of the humans' souls from their bodies. Most of the faces were frozen in a silent scream. Sasuke felt a presence behind him and did a flip over the person, knocking them to the floor but they managed to catch themselves. He stood up, smirking as he pulled out a pair of scimitars. Sasuke raised his eyebrow in amusement and shook the blood from his sword, splashing it on the ground by his feet.

The man charged Sasuke but the demon was too fast, moving around the man and driving his blade into his chest. He dropped his scimitars on the ground as Sasuke pulled the blade out of him. A pool of crimson mess formed around him and the Uchiha looked up to an inside balcony. Itachi killed man after man, all the women and children had already fled in fear. Itachi grabbed one of the men and took a deep breath, letting it out as a giant fireball. The man screamed in agony as his body was enveloped with flames and fell off the balcony, catching tapestry and curtains on fire.

Itachi jumped down, the place was going up fast since it was made of dry wood. He grabbed Sasuke's arm, both of them running out of the cabin and into the snowy mountains. They ran through the forest, moving more silently than the wind as the crunching of snow was muffled by the intense blaze of the fire.

They got to the edge of a cliff and the two of them let their wings fly out from their spines as they jumped off. They were in free fall for a moment as they went head first towards the ground. Sasuke's bat-like wings spread then, catching the air underneath them and holding him up in the air, allowing him to control how quickly he descended. Itachi did the same, letting his black, feathered wings to flap as he floated there. It was definitely a good thing they had both drank human blood today.

Slowly they descended to the ground. The snow was falling gently around them, causing the odd stillness as they moved towards the road. Sasuke was leading his brother a little but that gave Itachi an opening. He pulled his fist back and punched Sasuke in the back of the head, making him stumble forward. " Hn. Do you know how worried I was about you?" Itachi asked as he glared a little as his brother. " I thought you were going to be eaten."

" Ha! We both know if that were to happen my body would kill everyone. I'm rotten to the core, remember?" Itachi rolled his eyes but he was happy Sasuke was safe. His little brother was the only thing left of his family.

" Hn. Whatever. Be grateful we have the same parents. Otherwise I would have left you there to die." Itachi muttered as he stopped at a sign telling them which town was in which direction and how long it would take to get there. He spotted that Suna was forty miles west and sighed a little. It was going to be a long trip. Itachi took off into the direction the sign pointed, Sasuke following very close on his heels.
-

Naruto's breath hitched as he felt hands all over his body. They were soft, silky even as they ran down his stomach, followed by his lips. Naruto had never met anyone who had treated his body so kindly. He shivered with desire but he noticed then that the edges around his eyes were blurry, signaling that this had been something yet to pass.

There was a smirk on his lips and Naruto was confused by this moment. He had never met his man before and what was even more strange was that his face was suddenly blurred, so he could make it out.

He needed something to remember this man, a tell so he could identify him later. Naruto breathed through his nose and the strong scent musty scent of cinnamon and sex hung in the air. But he could tell that this man was practically bathed in it; it was his smell. Naruto felt himself get more aroused. Something about him was just so...Alluring...He couldn't help himself around him.

Though his face was smeared in gray shadows, Naruto could make out the outline of his body. Spiked hair, jet black most likely. His skin was pale, lean with muscle definition. But his smirk stood out, his white shinning teeth almost taunting him with their cockiness. He always wanted to punch the bastard and then apologize by kissing him deeply and letting the man have his way with him.

Naruto felt himself getting flustered with embarrassment as he thought of willing giving himself over to another man. Danzo would have both of their heads if that happened...Maybe he should try. It would definitely stick something in the old bastards craw. He smiled wickedly to himself but a shock of pleasure went down his spine making his focus shift back to the man above him, smirking so wildly.

He felt a word forming on his lips as he was pulled back into reality. " Sasuke." Naruto knew that definitely wasn't a word, it was a name, which meant that 'Sasuke' must have been this mysterious man's name. It was certainly one he had never heard before, but something about it made his heart almost swoon. This man was going to play an important part in Naruto's life, he could feel it.

" Naruto." The blond snapped out of his moment as he looked over at Danzo. The man was staring at him with impatient eyes and the blond almost wanted to laugh a little. " I've been trying to reach you for five minutes, what did you see when you looked into the future." Naruto thanked his lucky stars that he wasn't flustered by the bit of future he had seen, it wouldn't have been the greatest thing to try to explain to the King.

That's the one thing Naruto hated most about his powers. Depending on the day, he may not get any relevant information at all, and some other days he would get too much. There was never a healthy balance since he never had the time to actually sit down and train himself to control the gift he was given. It annoyed him to no end. And then Danzo would get mad if he said he could see anything, it wasn't his fault his power was so wishy-washy. If anything it was the King's fault for taking him from his parents. He blinked a little, before going off on his mental tangent he had seen what Danzo had wanted, even if it was brief part of it.

" The rebels' forces in the South and waning...They're retreating into the Kuro Mountains and since they know the paths better than your soldiers they're hoping to make an escape and keep themselves from loosing anymore of their people. It is mostly women and children, most of the men who had been following are dead. I believe chasing them any farther is pointless." Naruto said and Danzo nodded.

" You're right. The women and children are pointless to chase, most of them can't fight and it would be too much of a slaughter for my men. They may even be slightly disheartened by it." Danzo muttered and a ray of hope brighten Naruto's eyes; this was probably the first time the man had ever agreed with him on tactical issues. " And they could be put to better use elsewhere. Commander, send a message to the troops to head out to the East to help the others who are controlling the rebel internment camps."

Naruto's heart sank a little. The internment camps were terrible, awful places to live and he knew that more soldiers there would only mean more problems for the prisoners. Even if they were trying to kill him, he couldn't help but feel as though they didn't deserve all of this torture. He looked down a little as Danzo petted his cheek as if he was nothing more than a dog.

" You've done well and that's all I ask of you today. Go back to your room, the Undertaker has already taken care of the mess. I saw to it personally." Naruto nodded his head, getting up from his position next to the throne and heading towards his room, two guards following after him. He didn't see the point of them escorting him, it wasn't like he was trying to escape anymore.
-

Itachi and Sasuke finally arrived in Suna. It had taken them well into the next day, the light pink sky was beautiful at this time of the morning but their bodies were exhausted from the long travel. Even if they had injested the blood and souls of humans a few hours back, the effects would only last so long. Itachi sighed as he reached one of the rebel force's camps. The tents were starting to buzz with life as everyone started their day and when one of the women saw the two brothers, she knew immediately what she needed to do.

The camp was bathed in rich yellow light as the sun started to peak behind the mountains of sand and desert. A red headed man stood in the middle of the camp, by a makeshift throne, watching as the sun finally arose from the ground. He looked very at ease even though both Sasuke and Itachi knew he was carrying most of the world on his shoulders.

He looked back, smiling at the two Uchiha. Both of them bowed to him a little before standing at ease, waiting for whatever he had to say to them, but after a few moments of silence passed between them, Itachi cleared his throat a little. " Gaara, I've been wondering what you called us for. It has been a while since we've been here and it has taken ever longer for us to return because of...unforeseen circumstances..." Itachi gave a pointed glance towards Sasuke, who was just smirking a little, slightly amused by his brother. " So, forgive our absence and tardiness."

" Of course. The most important thing is that you're here now. Anko, a spy we sent in a couple weeks ago, has been captured and more than likely executed by Danzo, the dreaded King. Though we mourn her loss, we were able to get far more information about the Uzumaki he has under his care. We even know what he looks like, assuredly now. That's why I want one of you to go in and find him while the other goes to help Pein on the battlefield. There really are two options here; spilling his blond or kidnapping him so we can have him in a safe place. Anko may have chose to try and kill him but it may be just easier to persuade him into leaving with you. We have no doubts that he wouldn't willingly come to us if we offered him sanctuary." Gaara paused a little, looking over both of the demons in front of him, almost as though he was sizing them up. " And since Pein has given me these orders specifically for one of you, I have no doubt that you, Sasuke, can handle this yourself."

" Me?" Sasuke muttered looking almost dumbstruck at the prospect. Itachi smirked a little to himself, he doubted Gaara had made this call himself. Pein was a very crafty, horny man and he had known for a long time that the second in command of the rebel forces always had a thing for him.

" Do you doubt your abilities Sasuke?" Gaara asked. Sasuke knew the red head was playing dirty; hitting him in his ego was probably one of his best motivators, plus he had to make himself look better after the whole priest incident. Kidnapping him while he was sleeping, that was low blow.

" No. I don't doubt them at all. I will remove this boy out of Danzo's hands or he will die by my blade. I will not allow Danzo to have such a powerful person with him any longer. I do no wish for more innocent lives to be taken by this...Mad man..."

" Good to hear." Gaara tossed Sasuke a scroll. " This contains all the information you'll need to know about this...Uzumaki Naruto. It even tells you what room in the palace he stays in. You have a week Sasuke, to retrieve or kill him. If you're to die or fail, we will know that this venture is impossible." He paused then, looking at Sasuke nervously. But the Uchiha didn't seem phased at all by the thought of his own death. " My faith is with you." Gaara added, walking over to the younger Uchiha and kissing him on the cheeks. Sasuke kissed back and nodded his appreciation. " But before you go, go and rest up. It will be a long and testing journey."

Sasuke nodded, waving as he wandered back into the camp, looking for a place where he could sleep and then get a nice hot meal. Itachi was silent as he stood with the red head, looking into the sky as the sun rose even higher. The heat was starting to come and it would be suffocating soon which means Itachi would want to sleep through it, so he had to make this quick.

" Has Pein heard anything from the Commander?" Itachi asked and Gaara shook his head.

" No. We haven't heard a single word since he went to infiltrate Danzo's palace...He assumes that the Commander is dead, but is still very hopeful that isn't the case. We all have hope alive in our hearts, don't we Itachi?" The Uchiha nodded and said his farewells to Gaara, weaving his ways through the camp to find Sasuke and a place to sleep off his exhaustion.

And that's where I'm ending it.
Naruto: Not too bad for a first chapter.
Me: What you're actually supporting my work now? WHO ARE YOU
Sasuke: Shh! I hypnotized him into liking your work so he'll be more willing to do the yaoi and drama stuff.
Me: ...WAY TO GO SASUKE! -high fives- Have I told you recently that I love you?
Sasuke: You can stand to mention it more. This was Hitoko-sama.
