A roar echoed over the land. It was hurt and angry. After that, a screaming cry followed. Naruto Uzumaki was dead. He had died from protecting Sasuke from Tobi's last blow. Sasuke, finally pulled himself from his hatred and let the world know that losing Naruto had hurt. He even went back to the village. (Though he was on major parole)
Everyone was hurt and upset from Losing Naruto, so much that no one realized that the nine tails hadn't escaped from Naruto's body. In fact, the nine tails cause Naruto to be 'reborn' into a real demon. And he to learn how to control his new abilities so he had disappeared to the Demon Plain for a few years. What would happened when he had decided to go back to Konaha? How much trouble would a demon Naruto get into?
Chapter 1 (Coming Home)
The body of a mangled and mutilated deer laid in the middle of an abandoned road. Little blood was found near the body. It looked like a predatory animal had caught its meal. Near the dead body, two figures, hidden in the shadows, sat beside a tree. One looked like it was licking its hand. Just from the outline of the bodies, it was easy to tell one was female and the other was male.
"Azaelia, can we go now?" A slightly high pitched male voice whined and looked at the figure licking its hand.
"Already? But we just ate." A smooth female voice replied.
"I want to get there soon."
"We will. Nothing is faster than us."
Nothing was said after that. They sat there for a few more minutes, staring at the road. The male with dark crimson eyes and the female with dark violet eyes. Both with vertical, fox-like pupils. As the sun started to go down is when they finally moved. Still traveling in the shadows, not wanting to be seen, there was an air of mystery around the two, but somehow not a dangerous one.
(Konaha)
Sasuke stood at the tombstone solemnly. This was the only place his watchers didn't follow him, the only place he was able to show any emotion. There were all sorts of flowers beside it. Everyone missed the loud, overly hyper and confident blonde. Sakura came by three times a week, Hinata just as much and everyone else visited once a week.
But everyone else was able to move one better. Hinata was just about as strong as Neji, Shikamaru was still one of the exam proctors. Sakura was close to exceeding Tsunade in medial ninjutsu and in strength (Plus she had gotten with Rock Lee). Choji was skinny and Ino was with Sai (who was not as monotone now) Even Gaara had stayed as Kazekage was announced the strongest yet. Sasuke, on the other hand, wasn't able too.
He still felt the stinging pain, still felt the hollowness eat at him day after day. Sometimes he felt like just ending his loneliness, but every time Sakura managed to talk him out of it.
"Why," He would cry when he knew he was alone at the grave. "Why couldn't you have just let Tobi kill me instead?"
And everyday Sasuke wished he could see Naruto again and tell him how much he missed him.
