Naruto!Akatsuki AU. Part 1
I've seen a lot of art on Pinterest and got inspired by it for another AU Timeline.
What is Akatsuki were successful in kidnapping Naruto? Specifically, Obito.
Naruto is born on October 10th. This day is stressful for everyone involved. Nurses, chosen jonin. The gates are sealed, Kushina goes into labor. It's difficult, yet she endures it, knowing she is about to meet her child.
The happiness is cut short by a cloaked figure. Obito, who Minato recognizes only as an Uchiha, holds their son hostage. When Minato pursues the kidnapper into the woods, Obito makes sure to break the seal around the cave. Ninetails, who feels the seal going weaker, finally breaks himself free. Obito takes the beast under control, chasing Minato away.
He tries to find the kidnapper, but the only thing he can do is stop the tailed beast from destroying Konoha. Kushina is in no state to fight, yet she tries to. Minato hides her sway, catching the tailed beast bomb like he did in canon. Kushina, restoring some of her strength, pulls the beast away from the village. Obito standing in the forest, doesn't see any alternative to catching the beast other than catching it under his control and sealing it into the infant.
Making himself a lot weaker, but successfully performing the endeavor with sharingan, he disappears into the forest, leaving Minato and Kushina devastated, and Konoha ruined from the attack.
Obito raises the child in secrecy. Carefully collecting other members of the newly formed Akatsuki with Pain, he slowly gets himself a reputation of an insignificant childish parent figure for Naruto. He behaves quite kindly towards the child. Yet, it doesn't help that he is surrounded by people who are definitely not the best influence on the child.
Naruto grows up to be quite a bit more sadistic in narute. He doesn't torture humans on his own accord, but doesn't hesitate to strike back. He slowly makes use of his powers, while also making use of his Uzumaki heritage and keeping the tailed beast at bay. Kurama and Naruto are not on good terms, but this time, the junchiriki is the one to torment his inner beast. Naruto likes his control over something so powerful.
Obito encourages his behavior, making sure that Naruto is confident in his abilities. Many Akatsuki members treat him with caution at first, but Naruto soon proves his wit, intellect and power. Some of the members, even Orochimaru, at some point experience Naruto's rage on them. Obito only rewards him for such feats.
Growing up to be powerful, arrogant and smart, Naruto becomes a valuable member of the Akatsuki. Making use of his own chakra control and powers of the biju, he becomes a sought after criminal named Red Demon.
Sasuke, who grows up to be a member of Konoha police force, is sent on a mission to search for this fugitive. Villages, getting concerned, sent combined powers of their jonin to try and stop the advance of this criminal.
Ninja meet a large group of Akatsuki in a field near the Land Of Fire. Sasuke looks up at one of the buildings, seeing a face, too familiar to him.
Fugaku and Minato are working closely with each other, ensuring the safety of their people. Sasuke, inevitably knowing Minato quite well, sees terrifying similarites in this face.
—What is your real name, Demon? — Sasuke yells, looking up at the fugitive with sharingan.
He laughs, looking down with a toothy smile, showing his large eyes and fangs.
— Naruto. Naruto Uzumaki. I hope you'll remember that when I'll her a chance to kill you, Uchiha!
They fight like no one else on the field. Sasuke ends up with quite a bit of burns on his body. Naruto has a large cut over his eyebrow and forehead.
Sasuke reports back straight to hokage, his voice trembling as he stands before his father and his chief. Minato, listening to Sasuke describing the criminal and saying his name, freezes, and looks extremely disturbed by the end of the report. Sasuke mentions Naruto looking similar to Minato. Hogake asks for confirmation of this, and, when Sasuke reassures that he saw it with his own eyes, Minato puts his face in his hands, silently bumbling to himself.
Sasuke becomes a primary figure in the investigation about the Red Demon. Minato wants to hear every word from every mission and detail he gets.
Sasuke meets Naruto again, near the Kumogakure. They try to kidnapp Killer Bi, but it fails miserably. Naruto only watches as his comrades try to stop joined forces os villages. Naruto straight up laughs and refuses to help.
Until Sasuke shows up. He sees the Uchiha and smiles, moving towards him with unbelievable speed. They clash. Sasuke sees a lot through his eyes, including the sealed Ninetails.
Barley being able to escape, Sasuke immediately reports back to Minato with this information. Confirming all his suspicions, Minato makes a new order for catchu the Red Demon alive and brining him back to Konoha for significant ransom.
Many try, all fail. When Sasuke finally decides to go for the capture by himself, Mikoto is worried sick. She tries to stop her son, but only encourages him to go and be done with is as soon as possible.
They meet in the Valley Of The End. Their fight is much like their first one in the anime, with 15-year old Sasuke emerging victorious. He falls from injuries and exhaustion, but succeeds in his task. Him and Naruto are transported back to Konoha.
Naruto is unwilling to bend under any circumstances. Minato visits him, unbeknownst to Kushina, who still thinks her son missing. Naruto says nothing to his father, only bowing his head down each time he enters.
