Sasuke, deciding to take revenge on The Leaf, even after hearing the full truth from The First, goes to The Fourth Great Ninja War and tries to kill Naruto. Explained inside the story in more detail, but due to positive and negative chakra, he's transported between realms and sent to Equestria.

This is my first fic, and I decided to do this because there isn't a single Sasuke in Equestria story. This will somewhat follow the MLP plotline, but I will most likely skip over certain episodes or do small timeskips when needed, or when it will be convenient for the story. Also, changes to the episode may happen. They probably won't be too huge, though, for the most part.

It will be a sort of bildungsroman story- at least, I'm hoping I can try to make it that- which will focus on Sasuke, his Hatred, his relationship with his family, and how he could possibly, somehow, drop all of it off and finally have a heart again.

Gore tag is there for a reason. Just as well, the descriptions in this story will be vivid, and, at times, may disgust some. If you are offended by blood or anything else considered graphic, then don't bother reading.

First fic, with crossover. I'm not that very good at writing battle scenes yet, so forgive me.

One more thing- This is going to be fairly realistic, so Sasuke WILL be cruel. Yes, to PONIES. Don't expect him to turn nice fast.

Anyone who knows more about Naruto than me- I'm sure there are plenty of people on this site that do- please point out mistakes. I will admit I switch between names- for example, Jyuubi and Ten Tails- simply for a larger variety of names.

Please point out any errors you find. I will attempt to update this at least once a week- and I will change the cover image later, but soon, if it doesn't fit.

There is no shipping with ponies in this story.

Yes, I know that's not Eternal Mangekyou. I couldn't find a better pic, and that looks good enough, anyway.

One more thing- as I know people will complain about it, despite the fact that I have creative license, and what I wrote makes pretty good sense, in my mind, at least- and I see others agreeing with me, as well.

There will be minor/major character changes in this story- and not just for Sasuke. Ponies, too, to a certain degree. Some other characters may do things you would never expect of them, or commit to decisions that seem terrible or stupid- but they are there for several reasons, and not just the plot. Remember a few things-

Characters are older.
War changes people.
Shinobi do whatever it is to finish the mission, and for some, they're just realizing it, despite the fact that they've been ninja for years.

Not only are they being changed based on logic, they are also there for the plot. Remember that before commenting about 'Naruto would never do x or Sasuke wouldn't do this.' I've twisted the characters from the original manga. THEY ARE DIFFERENT. Please remember that before posting without thinking. Thank you.

The Tears of Gaia. An artifact of unmeasurable magical power from the Ancient Days, when the Others ruled the land. If found, they would be the discovery of the century!
At least, those are Twilight Sparkle's thoughts. But something is stirring in lands to the south. Soon she will find that she and her friends are not the only ones who are after the legendary Tears. And so what starts as a simple research trip is soon to escalate into the greatest journey of the young ponies' lives, filled with new friends and foes, incredible danger and great adventure!

NOTE: While I do appreciate all comments I get on this story, I would personally prefer if they could say a little more than the typical "Awesome chapter, I love it!" or whatever. What do you love about it? What struck you in this chapter? What would you like to see explored or expanded? Are there things you don't think are working and if so, how could they improve?? I have a pretty determined vision for this story, but it wouldn't hurt to know for the future!

There isn't much to be said about the Royal Guard. They serve and protect their country and their Princesses. And Captain Shining Armor couldn't be prouder of them.

But when their competence is called into question, what does he have to say then?

She looked out the window. Hundreds of ponies were gathered in front of her home, all stomping on the ground in applause. Twilight waved a hoof at all the ponies, immediately the crowd bowed. She quickly shut the window. “Spike... Tell me you saw the hundreds of ponies out there too.”

“Yup.”

I've heard them all: “unoriginal”, “unlikable”, “lacking”, “bland”, “autodislike”, “common”, “nothing but a train wreck”. Every insult only serving to further my sadness and loneliness. Why? All because of my fur color.

Equestria is in disarray. Civil war has consumed the land, and two nations have emerged. On one side, Equestria. Celestia's loyal lands fight as the Army of the Solar Empire, and in command is General Twilight Sparkle, Celestia's most trusted student.

"I cannot raise my hoof in battle against our fair Princess. For Celestia's glory, and for the preservation of our nation, I shall give my all!"

On the other side, a new nation has formed. It is the New Lunar Republic, and it's army is under the command of esteemed Ponyvillian General Applejack.

"I did not wish for such a tragic conflict to befall us, but I will never betray my home, my land, Ponyville. I will fight to my last breath to protect my home from the Solar invader!"

Upon her return, Princess Luna described the terrors of her banishment, and rallied for secession from what she described as "Celestia's dictatorship". In response, Ponyville and several lands to the south of it, such as Appleloosa, The Everfree Forest, and Dodge Junction, declared secession from Equestria, and, with it's capital at Ponyville, organized The New Lunar Republic.

Celestia would have none of this, and, after Lunar Forces attacked Solar-controlled Ft. Swirlter, organized the Army of the Solar Empire to put down her sister's rebellion. The Equestrian Civil War had begun.

For two years, the two armies have fought battle after bloody battle, with neither side gaining a clear advantage.

After a stunning victory at Trotsllerville, Gen. Applejack hatches a bold move: She will lead her army into Solar territory, destroy the Solar army in a final battle, and threaten the Equestrian capital at Canterlot. If all goes to plan, then the Equestrian government will be forced to call for a truce, and formally recognize The Lunar Republic.

Gen. Sparkle moves her army northward to intercept and stop the invading Lunar army. She knows that she must repulse this invasion, or else all could be lost for Equestria. On July 1st, the two armies both converge near a small town:

Fillysburg.

For Night Light, all that mattered to him was his family, and not saying good bye was the hardest part of it all.

Sunset Shimmer, has finally decided to return to Equestria to right all the wrongs that she has done on both sides of the crystal mirror. She is even ready to face whatever punishment Celestia sees fit, no matter how great it is.

Imagine her surprise when she is forgiven AND given another chance to be Celestia's student again.

As she makes amends and hoofs out apologies, she will also make some friends with both old and new faces, including Celestia's adopted son, Lockon Astros.

And little does she realize that, fate has plans for her once again. But this time, she will earn more than just the redemption that she seeks.

No longer grounded, Button Mash goes outside to find that all of Ponyville thinks he's dead. No matter what he does, he can't seem to get anypony's attention.

Stranger things have happened, right?
