Welcome back!

Let's go into the story

--------------------------

"Why are you stopping me?!" Crimson eyes with three tomoes glared with unrestrained anger into a set of cerulean orbs that shone with indifference.

"My mission is to bring you back to the village." Naruto stood on the head of Madara Uchihas statue with his arms crossed. His former teammate stood atop Hashirama Senjus statue.

Sasuke grit his teeth in anger before slowly exhaling. "Why try to bring me back? This village has done nothing but hold me back. You of all people should know this feeling."

The blond Jinchuuriki shrugged his shoulders uncaringly before responding. "It doesn't matter. Auntie Tsunade tasked me with your return and I shall do so."

The Uchiha sneered at the boy before lightning formed in his left hand. The sound of a thousand birds resonating from his hand. "Everything you do is for that woman! Does she even know about your feelings?!"

The Uzumakis stare became harsh as a Rasengan began to form in the palm of his hand. "It doesn't matter."

Sasuke gave a cruel grin before taunting Naruto. "She'll never return your feelings. You do realize she's three times your age, right? A sad little boy with no one but his Aunt."

The boys Chakra Exploded around him as a vicious glare erupted on his face. "It seems like I'm going to fail my mission... You won't be coming back to Konoha alive."

The raven haired teen sneered before responding. "We'll see who lives after this."

The two teens rocketed towards one another before clashing with their jutsus.

"Chidori!"

"Rasengan!"

Dull, cerulean orbs stared at the hundreds upon hundreds of homes, buildings, and establishments that made Konoha the mighty village it was. Several people merrily conversed with one another as they went about their daily routines. Oblivious to the true dangers that lurked beyond the giant gates of the village. The people of Konoha were complacent in their lives. Confident that should trouble ever rear its face that their beloved protectors would do their jobs.

Overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer.

Shinobi of Konoha were often arrogant in their belief that they were the top of the food chain in the Elemental Nations. And they'd be correct... in a sense. Konoha was powerful because it boasted powerful Shinobi. Which in turn meant that should a powerful Shinobi defect from their village, a serious problem would occur. Konoha was responsible for some of the worst tragedies in the Elemental Nations.

Danzo Shimura and Orochimaru being two of the instigators for several wars, scandals, and just outright acts of terrorism in the Nations. It wasn't surprising that most of the great villages, and even many minor villages, despised Konoha. Even now, Konoha was still standing atop the hierarchy of power. They possessed 2 of the Sannin, The Kyuubi Jinchuuriki, and countless feared Jonins across the Elemental Nations.

Konoha had truly been a curse in the making. Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha believed they could unite as one and coexist peacefully. A nice sentiment to be sure but it was truly a foolish endeavor. Naruto had never understood the finer details in life. What was there to do other than train and grow stronger? To stand atop others and bend the world to his heel. Power was logic in this broken world. If you didn't have power you didn't get to weigh in on your opinions and beliefs.
