I don't own Naruto or Infamous

Chapter 1

"Sasuke." Were the last words the blond said before he lost consciousness from his best friend's attack.

This was the scene that will torment said best friend, Sasuke Uchiha for the next three years.

This all started out when Sasuke awoke in a hospital with Sakura clinging to him like normal, a busty blond woman standing over him, and his rival Naruto looking at him with that grin that Sasuke started to dislike. Apparently he has been out of it since his encounter with Itachi, who had for some reason been targeting Naruto and blew Sasuke off when he came to claim his revenge. The busty blond turned out to be Tsunade Senju, who was brought back to be the fifth hokage, not that Sasuke cared. All Sasuke cared about was settling the score with Naruto before he continued on his quest to get stronger to kill Itachi. Naruto had beaten Gaara of the sand when he himself could not. This irritated Sasuke to no end and it really hurt his pride when Sakura thanked him for saving her and he had responded that it was Naruto. Sasuke later challenged Naruto to a fight when he had next returned to the hospital. Naruto agreed to a spar when Sasuke got out of the hospital, but Sasuke didn't want that. He wanted a fight now. He got what he wanted soon enough. He was later standing across from Naruto on the roof. Naruto told him to put his headband on, but Sasuke denied, and then Naruto starting talking about being equal Konoha shinobi. This infuriated Sasuke at the idea of being equal with Naruto, the dead last of the academy. They engaged in a brief fight that ended with Naruto charging an unknown jutsu, a ball of pure chakra and Sasuke retaliated with his chidori in midair. Sakura ran out to stop them, but it was a stupid action because it put her in the way of their soon to be colliding attacks. Before they could hit the poor girl, Kakashi arrived and threw the boys by their wrist into two huge water containers. Sasuke smirked when he noticed that he punched a hole through his target whereas Naruto only put a dent in it with a small hole. Sasuke back flipped off the roof to see that Naruto's jutsu blasted the entire back of his target out. A feat that was more impressive than his. Sasuke only got angrier. Later he was confronted by his sensei who told him that revenge wasn't the right path. Sasuke offered to kill all Kakashi's loved ones and see how he felt. Kakashi replied that they were already dead. This didn't help Sasuke's mood at all. Later he was attacked by four Sound shinobi that worked for Orochimaru and also had curse marks. Sasuke was easily beaten by his opponents, who later reminded of his ambition to kill Itachi and gave him Orochimaru's offer of power. Sasuke thought very little on the offer and packed his bag as soon as he got home. On his way out he saw Sakura. He told her to go home, but she denied and became more annoying. In a way it felt good that someone cared for him, but he couldn't let that slow him down. He thanked her and knocked her unconscious so she wouldn't cause any problems with his defection. Sasuke later left with the Sound four as they were called. They gave him a pill that would allow him to grow stronger, but they had to carry him in a coffin. They also made an odd statement about him dying first and only once, as if this process would kill him, but he'd still be alive afterwards. He agreed and they carried him in a cylindrical coffin. He stayed in this coffin until he broke free, stronger than before. He turned to see a Sound nin he didn't recognize and his best friend Naruto. Sasuke ran off in pursuit of Orochimaru. He later got to the Valley of the End, just short of the border he needed to cross to get to Orochimaru. He was stopped when Naruto called out to him. Naruto tried to reason with Sasuke, but his pleas fell on deaf ears. A small battle proceeded with Sasuke dominating the fight up until the point where Sasuke stabbed A chidori though Naruto.

This was all flashing through Sasuke's head as he looked at his best friend in shock at what he had done. Before he could make an attempt to remove his hand a light erupted from Naruto and moved outward. It blinded Sasuke. The resulting flash of light went off like an explosion and spread outward to a least the size of an average sized village.

When the light disappeared Sasuke was standing, looking down at Naruto in utter shock. Sasuke had assumed he was dead. Naruto Uzumaki, his best friend was dead. Without even realizing it Sasuke's fully matured Sharingan, which got that way during their battle, evolved again into what is known as the mangekyou sharingan.

Lost in his own grief, Sasuke let his headband fall off while he walked away. During the fight Naruto had tried his hardest to at least get a cut on Sasuke's forehead. It didn't happen. He got a scratch on the metal piece, but that was all. Sasuke headed to Orochimaru. He didn't want Naruto's sacrifice be in vain. He was going to kill Itachi not only for himself and the Uchiha clan, but for his best friend Naruto Uzumaki.

Later

Kakashi followed Pakkun until he reached the VOTE. What he saw almost broke his heart. His sensei's son appeared to be dead with a hole in his chest. Kakashi forced himself not to cry as he lifted the blond up and carried him home.

When he later reached the front gates he looked up to see Naruto's graduating class, their sensei, team Gai, Iruka, Tsunade, Shizune, and the Sand siblings. Neji and Choji were in wheelchairs, but otherwise fine.

The sight of Naruto hurt them all. They sacrificed so much for it to turn out like this.

Tsunade tried to look Kakashi in the eye, but he looked away in shame. He personally felt that he failed his sensei, Obito, and his genin team.

The others noticed his expression and they themselves looked even sadder.

"Where is Sasuke-kun sensei?" Sakura asked looking behind Kakashi

The others were shocked that she seemed to care more for the person that left her behind than the person who promised to bring him back for her.

Kakashi was shocked too, but he was too sad to get angry at the girl's lack of affection for her dead teammate in front of her. His face, or what she could see looked depressed and Sakura caught the message. Unfortunately she became mad instead of sad.

"You should have left that baka behind sensei, It's his fault that Sasuke-kun left and isn't here now. I knew I was wrong to trust this pathetic excuse for a ninja." Before Sakura could continue, she felt sand wrap around her throat.

Before Gaara could use his sand to kill the girl, a voice called out.

"I'm sorry Sakura." Naruto said as best as he could as he allowed a tear to fall down his cheek. This shocked everyone including Kakashi, who checked for a pulse, but felt none.

There was an immediate reaction to his words though. Kakashi laid Naruto down and Tsunade used a diagnostic jutsu to check his vitals,

"Their weak, but they aren't getting worse." Tsunade commented. Everyone took this as a good thing except Sakura. She was berating him in her head for fear of the psycho Gaara, in her mind, killing her.

Naruto was brought to the hospital and was on constant watch day in and day out.

4 days later

Naruto had awoken and everyone was happy. Everyone except Sakura that is. Everyone noticed her discontent for the blond and made sure to keep an eye on her whenever she was around.

Naruto awoke and they noticed that he had a control over lightning that not even the most skilled lightning affinity users, like Kakashi, had. Jiraiya, who wanted to take Naruto away on three year training trip anyway, offered that Kakashi accompany them so that he can try to help Naruto with his new found control over lightning. Tsunade agreed. All were sad to see Naruto leave. After hearing the details of the fight all wanted him to return stronger than before and be the one to collect the bounty that had been placed on Sasuke's head when Konoha made him a missing nin. Sakura was none too pleased with this course of action, but she had a plan.

Everyone bid Naruto farewell on his training, even Sakura which shocked everyone except Naruto. Although she showed open contempt for Naruto when he first returned she was very nice to him, even going as far to say that they would bring back Sasuke together, this was obviously before Tsunade placed the bounty on his head.

After Naruto was gone everything returned to normal, until one day.

"Lady hokage, may I come in?" Sakura asked as she poked her head in the door.

Tsunade was concerned about Sakura's fake behavior around Naruto, but she wanted to know what the girl was planning, so she played along.

"Yes come in Sakura." Tsunade waved her in.

"I have a request lady hokage." Sakura said, pretending to be as timid as people believed her to be. She had really hoped that everyone who saw her outburst against Naruto would just play it off as stress and emotions.

"What is it Sakura?" Tsunade asked

"I want to be your apprentice, so I could get stronger for Naruto. I'm useless now and me getting stronger can only help him in the future." Sakura stated. She knew Tsunade liked Naruto, so she hoped that appealing to her Naruto loving side would help.

"Denied." Tsunade said

"Thank you, you won't regret… Huh?" Sakura asked

"I am denying your request because I know that you don't have good intentions. We all heard you when you berated Naruto, when we all thought he was still dead." Tsunade said

"He should have stayed dead for what he did. He promised to bring back Sasuke-kun and didn't keep his promise." Sakura replied hotly.

"That's it! Get out of my office before I give you a one way ticket on the Jiraiya express (AN: pretty self-explanatory if you know how Tsunade deals with Jiraiya)." Tsunade said as she smashed her fist into the desk and stood up cracking her knuckles. Sakura got scared and immediately left the room.

Tsunade was fuming so much at the pink haired girl's actions and words that she needed to vent her frustration, or else she'd find the girl and beat her to within an inch of her life. To vent her frustration Tsunade beat on a kage's greatest enemy, paperwork. She finished all her paperwork for the next month somehow and was still angry so she made a mud clone, transformed it into Jiraiya and gave it a special ticket on the Jiraiya express.

Miles away from Konoha

A figure landed in front of the trio. When the dust cleared it was Jiraiya. The trio was shocked until the clone DE transformed and then poofed away.

"What did you do now Pervy sage?" Naruto asked

"Nothing. I've been with Kakashi since I returned to the village." Jiraiya said as he ran in the direction they were heading. He was too frightened of Tsunade showing up herself to give him the real punishment that the clone was just demonstrating.
