Tokyo Tempest

Part I: The Beginning Storm

Set during the Fourth Great Ninja War in an AU.

A/N: Hello readers, here is a brand new shiny story from me! This plot has been in my to-do list for awhile now but I haven't had the time to plan everything out in detail before starting on the first chapter. However, I've now come up with a brief skeleton and thus I present to you the beginning of a new adventure! Like the description suggests, yes, it is an AU fic. However, Sasuke and Sakura are still Ninjas. Personally, I don't like reading AU fics for some reason since I prefer them to still have ties towards their ninja identities. So then I thought.. what if they were still ninjas of Konoha, but were in a different world? ; o; Decided it'd be fun to try. Let me know what you think!

As you might know, there's a lot of technological fallacies in the Shinobi world.. so pardon me if anything seems off, I'm just going with my own part of the story ; u; Also contains an OC in the AU.

Disclaimer: This story is written purely based on my interpretations of the SasuSaku pairing and information within the anime, movies, and novels. Please don't read if you don't like what's happening. Rated T for language and slight violence/gore, but nothing more than fluff.

Original chapters are posted on my ff.net, which I make updates on faster.

"I'm going to become Hokage."

His resolve played inside of her head like a broken record. The pink-haired girl sat on the decayed earth in the aftermath of the Fourth Great Ninja War, dazed at the sight of the renegade Uchiha standing before them wearing a merciless, but mixed expression. The three of them had been in utter shock ever since he had made the most unanticipated, most shocking announcement to their ears.

It was all too wrong, too unfamiliar.

They had just fought a damn war together. They defeated Madara, the person who planned to trap the entire world in an inevitable illusion with the Infinite Tsukuyomi. They saved the Shinobi world from being on the brink of destruction. After years of of their bonds being severed, this was the first thing the three of them had collectively achieved together as a team.

So how did it suddenly become like this?

"Naruto, you're now the Jinchūriki of all the tailed beasts. Which means I eventually plan to get rid of the chakra inside of you too." The raven-haired man stood opposing to his old team members on the remains of the battlefield, his Rinnegan ominously juxtaposing his black orb.

" .. In order words, you're going to die. Out of necessity."

Sakura and Naruto eyed their teammate in both caution and pain, while Sasuke continued in assertion.

"If what the Sage said was true, there's no need to use the tailed beasts power inside of you to release the Infinite Tsukuyomi. I can take advantage of all the beasts captured.. Therefore I'll let them live until then."

"You know I won't let you do that, right?" The blonde spoke up in a hushed, but all-serious tone that hinted at great disappointment.

A tense air immediately broke out in the atmosphere, allowing a moment of silence as either of them refused to break their firm gaze.

"Then I guess I'll just have to deal with you first. Let's move this elsewhere," The Uchiha darted towards the silence dismissively, shifting away from his ex-teammates. The three of them eyed his back suspiciously, anticipating his next movement until he turned his head to the side and locked gazes with the blonde through the corner of his eye.
