NarutoxSasuke
Naruto's always had a rough life. The villagers only make it harder on him as time flows by. He is now a genin and a member of Team 7 alongside Sakura and Sasuke.
He hoped that things would change, but they ha...

Chapter 3: Battle? Destruction. Death.
3rd Person Pov-
"Crystal ice mirrors!"
Haku announces as he glides around the young Uchiha.
Sasuke pulled out a kunai ready to attack.
"Hey, Sasuke!" Naruto whisper-yelled. "Can you believe I managed to sneak in here undetected?"
Sasuke jumped back in surprise before face-palming. This idiot.
"Making such a conspicuous entrance. There's no point if you don't catch the enemy off guard," Sasuke sighed.
~~
After continuous fighting on the losing end, Naruto began to grow restless as Sasuke got annoyed when his fire did not melt the ice.
"Shadow clone Jutsu!"
"It's useless," Naruto observed in disappointment.
"Quit wasting your chakra, I can't take care of you if you're passed out," Sasuke warned in slight concern.
"I know! I'm totally fine~ Just a little sleepy-" With that Naruto fell face first, passed out.
Shit. Sasuke cursed and skid on his knees (like the clowns do in Knotts Scary Farm before they chase you across the park for no reason at all>: ...) to Naruto. He carefully picked up his limp body and dropped it gently.
Dumbass, what'd I tell you?
Sasuke narrowed his eyes and deflected a few kunai aimed at Naruto. He got up quickly and stood above him in a protective stance.
He scanned the area with his Sharingan activated, waiting for the right moment to strike. When Haku appeared, Sasuke threw his kunai, barely missing Haku, who had already vanished into a mirror. Haku hurled another set of senbon needles at Sasuke, causing him to tumble and dodge out of the way. He dashed over to Naruto, picked him up, and threw him out of the way. Before attacking Naruto, Haku looks at them both, ready. Sasuke sees this coming and drops in front of a herd of needles. He coughs up blood and collapses on his knees. As his Sharingan deactivates, his breath becomes short.
Naruto woke up with a gasp and looked around. He jumped up happily.
"Sasuke, you did it! Sasuke.. W-what?" Naruto lowers his hands in shock.
"You... Idiot," Sasuke managed a slight smile.
Naruto began to tear up, "You... You protected me?" His voice wavers a bit. "Why?- Why would you do that?" Naruto sniffed.
Sasuke feels himself on the verge of death. With the way he feels he allows himself to succumb to an emotional walk down memory lane. Every battle, every talk, everything he and Naruto went through comes flooding through his head. His eyes widened after seeing all of it.
In Sasuke's weak position he still manages to speak some words.
"You.. I... I hated you."
"I didn't ask for your help! You should've protected yourself!" Naruto cried out as he fell to his knees.
"...I don't know... My body just moved on its own accord..." Sasuke's legs gave way as he fell flat on his back.
"Sasuke!" Naruto tears flowed down his cheeks as he raced to Sasuke's limp body. He grabbed Sasuke and held onto him tightly.
What is this feeling and why does it hurt so much?
"...Until I defeated my brother... I refused to die... but..." Sasuke gave him one last smile before passing out. Naruto's hands shook as he laid Sasuke gently on the ground. His eyes twitched in a creepy manner, his teeth grew fangs as the marks on his cheeks darkened, a new feeling coursed through his body.
Naruto glared up at Haku whose eyes widened.
The Sharingan?!
Haku moved to get away but it was futile as a huge burst of chakra erupted from Naruto. Orange-Red chakra formed around him violently as the head of Kurama appeared before Haku, who looked like he was about to shit his pants. He shivered in fear. Why does he have the Sharingan?! What is this chakra, it's so... menacing.
Naruto seethed with anger. Sasuke... Sasuke... He... He hurt Sasuke.
He hurt my Sasuke.
"I'm going to kill you!" The voices of Kurama and Naruto were mixed together. Their chakra flared and shattered the ice mirrors. Haku collapsed and looked up, stunned. With tears welling up in his eyes, he scrambled back. Naruto was too preoccupied with Haku to notice that his vision and aura had changed. All he could think about was killing Haku for inflicting such pain on Sasuke.
He was angry at himself for being too weak to protect the battered Uchiha.
Haku stood up quickly before focusing his vision on a scene behind Naruto. His eyes widened as he disappeared in front of Kakashi.
Kakashi's lightning blade pierced through Haku's heart as he coughed up blood. His death was a fast one as Kakashi slowly pulled out with wide eyes.
Haku had sacrificed himself for his master.
"Did you say my future was death? Hmph," Zabuza spoke triumphantly. "Who's dead now?" He chuckled.
"He saved your worthless life at the cost of his own." Kakashi stood still. Zabuza took this as a chance to land a hit, doing so he recalled all of his precious memories with Haku, including the day he first found the kid. He swung his sword around just as Kakashi spotted his actions. Kakashi quickly dodged, grabbing Haku, he jumped back and laid him on his back gently.
"Not bad for having a corpse in your arms," Zabuza taunted with a smirk, his heart stung at that.
...
Naruto quickly calmed down and deactivated his Sharingan, without even knowing it, he gasped weakly as he fell to his knees. He calmed his nerves as Kurama tried to help.
I... wasn't... strong... enough.
"Naruto!" His head shot up as he heard his name being called. He searched around for the voice while standing up. "Naruto!" He heard it again.
He began walking to where the voice came from. He spotted Sakura looking around before her eyes landed on his, with a gasp.
"Naruto! It's good.. To see that you're alright." Sakura smiled weakly.
