Sasuke opened his eyes, finding himself in a strange,desolate place.

"Wake up, Sasuke." A deep elderly voice spoke.

Sasuke stood quickly to see none other than the Sage of Six Paths.

"Okotsuchiki-sama...it's good to see you again, where are we?" Sasuke felt strangely foggy and low on chakra.

The Sage sighed and looked away. "You're more like me than you realize...a decision is set at your feet Sasuke. I have used my divine power to peek into the future and see how your battle ends... Naruto betrays his duty, and releases the immortals my brother and I fought to cage. It was blurry but it was him that rips the cage door open to free those monsters. You must not allow this to happen, if he decides to open it, you will have to kill him."

Sasuke stepped back in shock. "Are you insane?!?! I can't kill him!"

The Sage sighed, looking weary. "I know... This is a repeat of history... I wasn't able to kill my brother either... I must show you the carnage Naruto will bring if left unchecked..."

Then he poked Sasuke's forehead, much like Itachi likes to do, only it made Sasuke's vision swim and transported him to what looked like Konoha at night, only the buildings were taller and the air had an eerie feel to it.

Sasuke began making his way home when a hand gripped his shoulder and yanked him into an alley. Suddenly, Sasuke was face to face with a sharingan. A girl around his age held a blade to his neck and glared hard, then stepped back. "You don't have any seals on you...good, come with me. I'll get you something to eat. My name is Sarada Uchiha."

Sasuke nodded, following behind her. "Sasuke Uchiha. Mind telling me where we're going?"

She glanced back and stopped. "We have three more hours til sunrise, I felt your chakra and decided to investigate. You can't be out at night, you should know this."

Sasuke stopped when he saw the town square. People were in chains and looked to be starving in front of a man with blood red eyes.

Sasuke's body tensed as he began walking toward them, drawing his sword slowly.

"No you idiot!" Sarada gripped his arm tightly and began pulling. "That's Shikamaru Nara, an elite. We'd get killed if we fought him."

Sasuke activated his Sharinnegan and began looking Shikamaru over. He looked around seventeen with an athletic frame and the same black hair in a pony tail. He had blood red eyes surrounded by black, his skin was pale, and on his back was a black short sword. The strangest thing was the red seals on his left side.

"What are you talking about? Shikamaru is harmless, a genius, but harmless. " Sasuke ripped his arm from her grasp.

She looked at Sasuke in shock. "Those eyes....only one person ever had those eyes...." Tears welled in her eyes as she hugged Sasuke, breathing in his scent.

"W-What are you doing?" Sasuke stammered.

She pushed back a little. "You're from the past right? My name is Sarada Uchiha, daughter of Sasuke Uchiha and Karah Namikaze." Sasuke was bewildered as she said this. She had black hair and eyes but she had the same facial features as Karah.

"This-...this is impossible." Sasuke whispered.

Sarada grinned. "Wait til Daisake sees you!"

"Who?"

Sarada laughed quietly. "My big brother, leader of the human resistance."

"Who said you could leave Uchiha?" Shikamaru landed in front of them, even from the height he dropped he still didn't make a sound.

Shikamaru smirked. "Kid you look a little like a classmate I had over twenty years ago... He was always a drag... Are you two gonna come quietly or do I need to kill you?"

Sasuke pulled his sword and held it in a reverse grip. "You can try, Shikamaru."

"You know who I am yet are willing to fight? You're either stupid or confident..." Shikamaru drew the sword from his back.

In a lightning fast movement Shikamaru shot forward, aiming to stab Sasuke, but Sasuke blocked in time.

"Impressive. I can't remember the last human that was fast enough to block one of my attacks." Shikamaru then kicked Sasuke back and stalked forward.

Sasuke coughed as he summoned his condensed Susanoo armor. "You wanna fight? I'll give you a fight!"

"That's enough." A man stepped into the light.  He had black hair that fell to his eyes, blood red irises, muscular body, he looked to be in his late twenties. He wore all black clothing and held no weapons. His seal covered his entire body with the ones on his left side being red and the right side being blue.

"Raizen-sama...I was going to bring them in-"

"No need Nara. I recognize that eye. He is just a visitor and likely won't be here long. Besides...if I wanted him dead, he'd be dead." The man spoke with an air of authority that demanded respect.

Sasuke went to attack them but faster than he could see, Raizen had planted a fist into his gut and made Sasuke spit blood. "Careful child. I've spared your life this once, I will not do so again."

Sasuke fell to his knees clutching his stomach in pain. "W-What the h-hell are you?"

Raizen knelt to eye level and smiled maliciously. "I am the ruler of this planet, tell the Sage I said thank you for letting me know he was truly out of options."

Then Sasuke was yanked backwards and he was in front of the Sage again, who looked winded. "I was going to let you stay longer and see more but I'm afraid I couldn't leave you around that creature for long."

"Was that real?" Sasuke asked.

The Sage nodded. "Yes. I don't know why, but Naruto Namikaze releases the Otsuchiki clan from their prison. It's all his fault that humanity suffers the greatest loss it will ever go through. Raizen let's a few become immortal demigods but leaves most human, for live slavery purposes. As you saw, in his real body, Raizen is incredibly powerful. The only way to win is to defeat him while he is possessing someone and throw his soul into the cage. It took him a thousand years to get through last time, but that may be the best we can do."

Sasuke was suddenly aware of someone violently shaking his shoulders.
Blinking rapidly he saw Naruto shaking him and forced him to stop. "Dude relax! I'm alright..."

"If you die can I have your sword?" Naruto asked.

Sasuke just squinted in response. "...no."

"But plea-". "Just no." Sasuke interrupted.

Then Sasuke sighed. "Naruto I gotta ask you something...is there any reason you would intentionally release evil creatures that are tougher than us?"

Naruto tilted his head. "...uh? No? Why would I do that? My powers are meant to protect the earth, not help destroy it."

"Ugh....fuck... I'll talk to you later, I gotta go somewhere for a while." Sasuke then vanished via teleport.

Naruto paused. "You ass! You couldn't give me a lift back home?!?!"
