Authors Note: Hi there and welcome to my story. I have two inspirations for writing this story. First off I'm a huge NaruSasuNaru fan (You might even say I'm obsessed <.<) so this means that I spend a lot of my time here and on other sites reading yaoi (x.x). I noticed that lots of author disclaimers were “If I owned it I'd make it yaoi” so I thought, “hmmm what if I did own Naruto? How would I make it into a yaoi?” I mean I couldn't change the things that happened as they're the whole reason the story is so awesome to begin with. So this is my interpretation of Naruto: Yaoi Edition dattebayo!

 

Secondly, I got a little tired of how the authors rushed the stories. Yes we know they so definitely belong together, but they don't know that! Gosh it wouldn't hurt to take a little bit of time to develop the story. So I'm going to do just that. Hopefully you all like it. :)

 

Without further ado…

 

Chapter One: Sasuke…

 

Among the many islands that make up Japan, there is one such island called Hikuni. Today, in the western world it is known as Fire Country or Land of Fire. Many see this island as the home world for the popular television show Naruto, what they do not know is that though most of the events of that show were changed, the story of Hikuni, and its inhabitants did actually happen.

 

The reader will notice that many of the things that happened within the television show did happen, just not how they knew it to be. Please bear with an open mind as you read the story of the Hurricane Chronicles. Some of the events will shock you and others will cause you to cry out in indignation, but you will definitely identify with the characters and it will allow you to appreciate the hit television show even more than you do now.

 

----

 

It all started about four thousand years ago with the birth of a new race. They were the Akatsuki, a race of highly intelligent scientists who were able to evolve themselves into super humans. As a new race, they believed themselves to be gods for they held powers, called Jutsus, over the elements. Yet though they had those powers, the Akatsuki were vulnerable to the simplest means of death. They could not die by natural means such as old age or disease but murder and accidents worked just fine.

 

For years their following grew making them into a race that could not be easily contended with and soon the other inhabitants of Hikuni began to hail them as gods. They, who used to be good to their people, became corrupted with their unlimited power. The leader of their people, a woman named Orochimaru began to fill the heads with thoughts of superiority.

 

For centuries, the humans on Hikuni lived under the dictatorial leadership of Orochimaru but then slowly a group of Humans lead by the Uchiha, and several other aristocratic families, realised that if the Akatsuki were killed as children, before their powers developed, then their forces would become diminished.

 

This was what began the first wave of the civil war that would continue for several centuries. The Akatsuki, being the superior beings that they were, did not appreciate having mere humans kill their young and so they begged Orochimaru to aid them. Being the benevolent ruler that she was, Orochimaru decided that it was in her best interests to aid her people.

 

Calling on her right hand man and lover, Kabuto, they devised a plan that would not only end the killing but put an end to the human rebellion once and for all. Kabuto had begun experimenting with fusing different species together. It was a hobby of his that he took pleasure in. He was what many would call a mad scientist, although he chose to believe that he was just a bit more talented.

 

They thought that it was as good a time as any to try out a test of their nearly perfect creations. Using the Uchiha, the more recognizable leaders, as their guinea pigs, they fused them with the DNA of wolves. Out of their theoretical work, wolves were the best choice they had available to them that would make their experiments a success. Unfortunately, several did not make it past the danger zone of the fusion, but those who did became the Uchiha family that would lead the new species into the future.

 

Their plan was simple. They would fuse their trouble makers with creatures that were known to be loyal to their masters but were strong. Not only were wolves compatible with the human DNA which would give a higher success rate but they were pack animals that would protect those within their shelter. They would first brainwash the Uchiha family into serving the very race they threatened to destroy. It was genius in a twisted way.

 

With their successful youkai transformation of their number one enemies, they went to finding the other head families. Uzumaki, Sarutobi, Nara, Hyuuga, just to name a few. They were beginning a new world order. A world where they ruled, unquestioned, undeniable.

 

As insurance, in case something were to go wrong, they fused the life force of all the converted ookami youkai with the life force of the Uchiha. If there ever came a time that they needed to destroy the entire experiment, all they had to do was wipe out the Uchiha clan and any other creature born or created as an ookami youkai would instantly die. It was brilliant and without flaw. So they thought.

 

For centuries they lived in peace with their new servants giving their lives loyally in protection of the Akatsuki race. So proud were they of their experiment that they indulgently allowed them to live on as they would.

 

The Youkai made villages for themselves, created systems, leaders (Kages), gave themselves new names (shinobi and nin) and more. The Uchiha who had become their recognized leader as their lives depended on them were called their kings. All was well with their world.

 

Or at least, so it seemed.

 

With each century that the shinobi lived, they grew stronger, more intelligent. It seemed that Orochimaru's plan had not worked as she had intended. For the shinobi, they were also able to use Justus. In fact, because they were a warrior race created with the sole purpose of protecting the more “nerdy” scientist race, they were better at it than most of the Akatsuki.

 

As a result, the nins did not appreciate being treated as inferior beings. To get a better picture of how they were treated, think of an enslaved race who have been freed but their slave masters still thought of them as being beneath them. There were many talks, arguments and political fights against their less that acceptable treatment. Several of the nins did not want to live within the indulgence of the Akatsuki and they beseeched their leaders, the Uchiha, several times to declare war.

 

Yet the Uchiha were not foolish, far from it. They knew that even though several millennia had passed since they began their enslavement within the Akatsuki race, even with several generations coming and going, they knew that if they were to fight at their current strength, they would not win. They were bidding their time until they could become stronger and that they could win.

 

But the choice was taken from them. Almost a thousand years had passed since the talks had begun. The Ookami youkai had grown to the point where they were almost confident that if there was an uprising, they might win, but they still wanted to wait until they were even stronger. It was in that time that Sasori Uchiha, Middle child of Mikoto and Fugaku Uchiha found herself in love with the son of Orochimaru. To this day, his name is not mentioned.

 

The two love struck youth would meet secretly professing love for the other. They were the leader children of enemy races and they knew what they were doing was forbidden, and could get them both into some serious trouble, yet they did not want to end it for the love of youth cannot be compared to anything else. All was going well with their romance; they had perfected the art of sneaking out. Sasori had even given her innocence to the Akatsuki prince. Yet as soon as their passionate act was over, he informed her that he was to be betrothed to another Akatsuki noble woman.

 

As the princess listened to the words of her beloved, she began to realise that he had not loved nor viewed her as she had first thought. He had insisted that even though he was to marry this woman, he would demand that their affair continue until he grew tired. With a quickly wilting heart, the Uchiha princess agreed for she did truly love him.

 

Their romance continued, albeit on a less happy note, but things worsened. The princess found of that she was pregnant with the child of an Akatsuki prince and to make matters worse, she was to be betrothed to the Uzumaki kage. With a heavy heart, she told her beloved that she was not able to see him again as she would not dishonour her family or her husband's family by cheating on him with his enemy.

 

In a fit of uncontrollable rage, he strangled her. In his defence, had be been thinking clearly, he may not have gone to such drastic measures, but what led to her strangulation was a heated argument which had boiled his anger to a level that clouded his judgement. He had loved her and could not possibly accept her bedding a man that was not him, especially not a filthy ookami youkai.

 

It was her dying words that let him know what he had done. He had killed his beloved and his unborn child. With startling speed, his rage died and shock settled in. He begged her to awaken, to forgive his foolish act, but it was not to be. She was gone. He mourned her death for hours, hugging her until he came to the state of mind. He could not live without his love. It did not matter. He would follow her into whatever afterlife there was for her people. (The Akatsuki did not believe in god for they saw themselves as gods)

 

With a resolute heart, he carried his bride, as that is how he began thinking of her, to her home knowing that as soon as he informed them of what had happened, his life would be forfeit. He did not mind. It was the least he deserved for hurting the one that held his heart and carried his child within her womb.

 

As he had expected, he carried the dead princess into the halls of the Uchiha estate, a line of people following him as he made his way. Laying her at the feet of her father, he bowed then to them and told them what had happened. Fugaku Uchiha looked onto his dead child, the blood of her unborn child coating her gown and thighs, the discolouration of the palm prints that had taken her life and he too felt a blinding rage. As his wife screamed for her dead daughter, he drew his sword out and thrust it within the throat of the man who had defiled his child then removed his head. He then had the body delivered to the Akatsuki community called Otogakure with a simple message. “A life for a life” That was to be the second wave of their war.

 

A blood curdling scream rang through the halls of Otogakure as Orochimaru heard of the death of her only child. They, the beasts, had dared to think that her precious son's life was only worth one of theirs. They were wrong. And so she began plotting. After much mourning, she and Kabuto began to plot the downfall of the Ookami youkai once and for all.

 

Fugaku knew that killing the son of their slave masters was declaring war and though he hoped that his message would appease them, he knew that it wouldn't. So when no attack came for several years, they finally began to relax thinking that maybe there was noting to worry about. They let their guards down, and allowed their people to relax.

 

What they did not know was that Orochimaru held a grudge like no one else. She could wait for years and years, centuries to take out her revenge, but she would do it. She had the time. So while they all relaxed the second phase of her plan began. It had to do with the eldest Uchiha child, Itachi.

 

Orochimaru was not a particularly beautiful woman, but she was not ugly. Using the power that clung to her, she seduced the eldest Uchiha child and bewitched him. She partook in similar outings such as her son and with each meeting; she corrupted the mind of the impressionable but brilliant and powerful child more and more until he was just ripe for what she needed.

 

On a quiet evening in Konohagakure, while the Uchiha, in their district, continued on with mundane things, one Itachi Uchiha, next leader, heir to the entire Uchiha dynasty, ie the people of the ookami youkai which encompassed several villages, single handedly murdered the entire Uchiha family save one.

 

With the quick thinking of only a mother, Mikoto quickly grabbed onto her baby son, no more than six or seven at that time, and stuffed him into an underground cellar that had been created for storing fruits and other such things. Using a jutsu, she sealed off most of Sasuke's chakra flow making him unable to do much except breath and live and forced him into the hidden cellar.

 

There he was forced to hear the murder of his family, hear his mother and father pleading as they were murdered by their every own son. He tried to cry but the seal prevented even that much. He was trapped under the floors taking in the scent of blood, blood of his dead parents, and clan members.

 

It wasn't until several days later, when no one could find him that Arashi, Kage of the Uzumaki, clan finally sensed his diminishing chakra beneath the floorboards. They knew that he had to have been alive because they were still alive. Itachi had killed himself after the murder. He had come to, within the square of the Konohagakure village, and realised what he had done. His screams echoed through the town as he was unable to stop himself from thrusting his kunai into his skull.

 

When he was released from the sealing jutsu, Sasuke cried for days. The tears he had not been able to shed came out in rivers as he cried for the death of everyone who mattered to him. It was at that time he stopped being a child, for Orochimaru found out that in fact one Uchiha survived and she made it her life's duty in destroying him. Little did she know how hard that task would be. Several of the shinobi knew that with the death of their last prince, their life would also be over and so with honour they gladly gave up their lives to protect their prince and in doing so, their own family.

 

After years of failure, even resorting to using the forbidden demon summoning jutsu, Orochimaru realised that she was not going to be ale to get to Sasuke and so instead she cursed him. He would never be able to impregnate a woman. She further declared that his life would drag on and on, where her son's didn't, until he found himself unable to resist the call of death. When no light would come into his life, he would finally kill himself and with no heir born of him, his people would die.

 

She may not have killed him, but she trapped him into a prison of a life, for he would have to live forever. The day he died, every single member of their race would follow him. At his young age, he had not realised the consequence of her curse on him.

 

Four thousand years later, in the twenty first century, he was beginning to appreciate her words more. For there was nothing in his life he could truly appreciate anymore. He had been trained by Arashi Uzumaki, becoming the most powerful of their race. He was strong, intelligent and a strategic leader, but as she had said, he was also impotent. He could not bare children. He had tried several times over the centuries with no results. Life, to him was slowly dragging on and he desperately wanted an end. After 4000 years of constant fighting, wars, bloodshed and death, he wanted peace, even if that peace was oblivion. Yet his responsibility to the people, several million now, demanded otherwise.

 

And so he lived on.

Story Recommendation: 12 Days of Christmas by ashikai

 

Reader Question: I thought it would be nice If we Yaoi fans bonded by sharing our yaoi related memories so I will ask a question after every chapter. You can either review the story, respond to the question of both. I will be posting some of the responses as well as my own at the end of the following chapter.

 

How did you discover yaoi?
