Ryo: Naruto's Older Brother | BOOK I

Chapter 1: Brothers

Ryo's pov:
I sat quietly in the Uchiha compound, waiting with Itachi as we heard explosions outside. I know that Itachi was 2 years younger than me, but he was like my little brother. I got up from the corner where we were ordered to sit in by Itachi's parents, and ran to the window. I looked out and saw the demon fox that has been terrorizing the village for the past couple of days. I scolded, I couldn't believe that the older shinobi wouldn't let me fight! I was as good as most of them, and stronger than some. So why was I sitting around the Uchiha compound doing nothing.
Itachi, noticing my scowl came over. "Ryo, what's wrong?" I pulled him away from the window.

I know Itachi was technically a shinobi, and he should have the right to know whats happening, but he was 7. And I know that he has witnessed worse in the shinobi war. But I could at least spare him the image of seeing a demon fox destroying an entire village. I quickly looked out the window again, seeing the nine-tailed fox closer than it was before.

I flinched. "Itachi, go get Sasuke, we're leaving." I said coldly.

Probably noticing the seriousness in my usually goofy voice, he got up and ran to get him. He returned shortly after carrying his brother. I handed him a black cloak, and told him to put him on. I put on a cloak of my own and opened the door. Me, now carrying Sasuke, and Itachi ran out of the house. We jumped on the rooftops and got a safe distance away. I looked back at the demon, just seeing it cruch the house we were in not to long ago. Itachi gasped and looked at me.

"You knew it was coming, how?" He said.

I looked him in the eye and calmly said "When I went to the window, he was closer than before, just to be safe, I thought we should get out of there." I looked up and saw a shinobi call a retreat. I looked at Itachi, telling him it was time to go.

We raced through the streets of konoha, perfectly memorized after years of pranking, heading toward the shinobi retreat point. Once we reached the area we both looked around, looking for our parents. We spotted Itachi's parents first. We headed over there, mainly to tell them we were okay.

"Mom, dad!" Itachi called. They looked over and I swear they had a heart attack. They went from looking shocked to angry in 3 seconds though. His mom screamed at us first:

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE! Not only are we in the middle of a battle at 2 o'clock, but we told you to stay at the house!" She said.

Me, being the calm idiotic one replied "We would love to go back to your house, but sadly its been reduced to a piled of rubble. Thankfully we got out before the demon got there." This calmed them down, we didn't leave for no reason, we left because the demon was moving closer. I quick asked before they could get away "Do you know where my parents are?"

Itachi's parents looked at me sadly. I gulped hoping they weren't dead. But his mother just said. "Your mother went into labor during the battle, Minato said he was bring her somewhere safe." I nodded my head in thanks, already knowing where my father was talking about. I handed Sasuke to Itachi and told him to stay here. After a few protests, he agreed and sat down with his brother.

I ran off looking for the place my dad always talked about when he said, I'm going to my safe place. You see my father was always under stress being the hokage and all, he would sometimes just walk out of his office, saying he was going to there. I think I was looking around for 10 minutes, before I found it. Ran in to find flights of stairs leading down. I qiuckly ran down and found myself in a rather large room. I heard my mom scream and I ran toward her.

I found her sitting in the middle of the room, giving birth to my baby... Sibling, I didn't know yet if it was a boy or a girl. I ran up behind my dad, he was telling her to keep going, and not to give up. He looked behind me, probably sensimg a new chakra around and jumped.
