Hello everyone,

How is everyone doing with everything going on? I know I haven't been writing in a while but I am back as long as it doesn't interfere with my work and my life at the moment. A lot has been going on with me so I haven't been really writing. I write here and there but then I lose inspiration. I feel bad that I haven't had any lately but this one came up and gave me some so I went with it so here it is.

Reviews:

simhead75: Howdy friend thanks for the compliment. I hope your still up for reading it because it's still going.

Guest: Sorry it wasn't a fast update but here it is anyway.

haruyuki setsuka: This will not be a itanarusasu but I think I have one of those coming up soon. I did have an idea for one of those but it won't be in this one.

inuyasha16451: As do I my friend. I always love some good jealousy scenes in books or movies.

Mistress-Otaku-Uzumaki-Fox: Soon well they are sort of together now just not voiced it out yet. Yes someone did send them back but they don't know about it yet.

TigrezzTail: Yup the brothers both have possessive issues but Sasuke could tell his brother wants Naruto way more than he does that's why he doesn't push any limits. Itachi is jealous because Itachi knows how much Sasuke means to Naruto and is scared that Sasuke can take him if he wants him.

solitare1: Yeah I have to do that too when I write new chapters since I don't remember the last thing I wrote at the end. Well, I hope you still love it and leave another comment.

Miranda Cheney: Thank you and I am so sorry it took so long to update but here it is and I hope you love the changes.

MESSAGE TO EVERYONE!: I am SO SORRY that it took me so long to update this story again but here I am. I won't promise that another chapter will come again quickly because I don't want to disappoint anyone but I hope you really like this chapter.

Enjoy the chapter.

Naruto and Itachi were walking back forth in Orochimaru's headquarters for two hours now pacing because they couldn't figure out who or why they would get sent back in time. Not only back in time but together nonetheless they weren't really sure why they would get sent back. They were also confused with the fact that Minato remembered them.

"We saved a lot of people doing it but none of those people had the ability to save us and put us back in time," Itachi said as he finally made a halt.

Sasuke was just watching the two since he didn't really have anything else to do since Orochimaru left somewhere for business at the moment.

"I agree and that day it was you, me, Sasuke, Sakura, Sai, Kakashi sensei, Neji, Lee, Tenten, Gai sensei, and Kisame. It could have never been one of them," Naruto said.

"Would if it was by accident? Remember Kakashi has that eye and we don't know what his eye could have done in the past," Itachi said.

"I don't know much about his eye because we only found out about it when we went to the Land of Waves," Naruto said.

"But he doesn't have the eye now how did we get back," Itachi said.

"You two seriously need to calm down. Would if you just went there because of some type of time loop as you fell off the cliff?" Sasuke said getting annoyed by both of them.

"True that could be a possibility," Itachi said sitting down.

"What does that even mean? I get that I may not be in your intelligence bracket but I don't know what you're talking about," Naruto said.

"Naruto your previous self actually listened in school so you have that information now because you didn't get mistreated," Itachi commented offhandedly.

"What?" Sasuke asked confused looking at Naruto with a horrified look on his face.

"Too much to get into right now," Naruto said shrugging it off as he went through the memories, he got from his life in the time frame they are in now.

"Okay," Sasuke said as he laid back in the bed that they were all by in the room Sasuke was going to be in while he was here. "You two should stay here until Orochimaru gets here," Sasuke said.

"We are I want to talk to him," Naruto said as he laid on the other end of the bed. "Hey, do you have any ideas?" Naruto asked Kurama.

"I have vague ideas but I don't understand why they would," Kurama said. "But let me sleep we can talk tomorrow," Kurama said falling asleep sending Naruto out of the mindscape.

"Naruto you never told me why the fox was okay with going inside you right away," Sasuke said.

"Because he was in me before," Naruto said with a smile but it wasn't a happy smile it was sad.

"You'll be fine this time," Itachi said grabbing his hand.

"Yeah I know because they don't know and they assume my mother is the holder," Naruto said.

"Yeah, we have to solve that soon but at least we have someone who can help us there," Itachi said.

"How can he help us when he doesn't even know who you are?" Naruto asked.

"Do you trust me?" Itachi asked looking directly in Naruto's eyes his eyes changing to his Sharingan.

"You intend to show him?" Naruto asked.

"Yes," Itachi said.

"Show who what?" Orochimaru asked by the door.

"Lord Orochimaru how you doing man?" Naruto asked happily as he leaned up.

"Naruto what are you two doing here?" Orochimaru said as he entered the room with Kabuto behind him.

"Not the same," Itachi whispered when he saw who Naruto was looking at.

"I just wanted to see how you were doing I haven't been here in a while," Naruto said.

"That's nice, well I have some new weapons if you want to see them," Orochimaru said.

"Yes, that will be nice," Naruto said standing up.

The Uchiha brothers stayed sitting as Naruto walked out of the room with Orochimaru leaving Kabuto in the room.

Kabuto shrugged his shoulders then looked at Sasuke. "You want to spar?" Kabuto asked.

"Sure," Sasuke said getting up.

Itachi laid there not really sure what he should do. He was waiting for Naruto so they could continue on their adventure to find Kisame but he had to think who was Kisame's partner before he came around. It had to be a few before him but he wasn't sure who it was.

"If I remember correctly it was... no wait who was my partner before Kisame?" Itachi asked in wonder just as Naruto was coming in the room.

"Are you ready to go?" Naruto asked looking at him with a raised eyebrow.

Itachi was shocked because he felt like he was missing something.

"What's wrong?" Naruto asked.

"I feel like I am forgetting," Itachi said shocked looking up to Naruto.

Naruto was shocked but he sat next to Itachi to figure it out with him.

"What have you forgotten?" Naruto asked.

"I don't remember who was my partner before Kisame," Itachi said.

"Do you remember how long they were your partner?" Naruto asked.

"A year before they died," Itachi answered confused.

"Where were they from?" Naruto asked.

"The Mist," Itachi answered.

"Now only picture their face," Naruto said.

Itachi did as he was told and the image came forward quickly.

"Juzo," Itachi said softly.

"There you go now we should get going," Naruto said.

"How did you know how to do that?" Itachi asked.

"It was something that Kurama taught me when I was younger and naïve," Naruto answered as he helped Itachi up with himself.

"Well that is definitely going to be useful if we need to stop some people we've already faced before," Itachi said.

"Yes," Naruto said nodding his head.

"You guys are leaving already?" Sasuke asked.

"Yeah we got to catch up to a friend of his," Naruto answered.

"Okay take care of each other," Sasuke said hugging Naruto but something told him to hug his brother too that he needed one too.

"We will," Itachi said shocked that his brother gave him a hug.

Orochimaru walked up to Naruto while the Uchiha brothers were distracted and smiled at him.

"Here, open it when you really need it," Orochimaru said softly. "Thank you and I'm glad to see your back," Orochimaru said.

"You remember me?" Naruto questioned shocked but the smile that appeared on his face was soft and so gentle that it was hard to ignore.

"I remember bits and pieces but when you came today to see me, I remembered who was missing back then and why I felt oddly empty for a while. I'm glad to see you as you again," Orochimaru said with a smile on his face.

"I'm glad to be back and to see that you made your own village," Naruto said with a smile.

"Thank you," Orochimaru said. "This is also information about the Akatsuki I hope it helps you," Orochimaru said.

"I really appreciate your help Orochimaru," Naruto said nodding his head.

"Come by anytime," Orochimaru said.

"I will," Naruto said then looked at the brothers. "Itachi we have to get going," Naruto said as he sealed what Orochimaru gave him.

The two left and were heading to the Mist country. They didn't know why but they thought it would be best to start there and lead bread crumbs for Kisame to take.

"Naruto how do I stop myself from forgetting? How are you not forgetting anything?" Itachi asked.

"I think there are many reasons why I can't forget but one for sure is because of Kurama. The other is because I think too many people actually remember me from when we were in the past," Naruto said honestly.

"But Minato and Nagato remember me too," Itachi said.

"Yeah but Orochimaru also remembers me," Naruto said.

"What? You've had a really strong impact if he also remembers you," Itachi said.

"He said he at first he didn't remember me until we came that's when did. It was something that I did that made him remember me," Naruto said.

"That means we can make people remember us if they spent a lot of time with us," Itachi said.

"I think so," Naruto nodded as they continued to walk through the forest.

"Hey, Naruto do you think we should go to Suna first?" Itachi asked.

"Yeah, it would be best to get to Gaara before they can get to him. From the past memories, it shows that the Akatsuki just formed a few years prior so they are really behind schedule. I think you joining them really helped them a lot more than they realized," Naruto said.

"Not only that but I think a lot of the main people were the ones that we helped. They didn't get Orochimaru, Nagato, Yahiko who was the face of it, and Konan. That leaves them with limited people. Also, Hanzo died from Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade," Itachi explained.

"Yeah, so they are really behind schedule but we still don't know who is behind it. You said it was Obito before but we don't know if it is now and we didn't even check if Obito was still in the village," Naruto said.

"True but first we should get to Kisame," Itachi said.

"Well it seemed like they were heading to Konoha when we were leaving but that place is like a stacked cake with too many people around for them to get into at the moment without an Uchiha to help them with Kurama," Naruto explained.

"Let's head back then to see if we can catch him before he does something we can't replace," Itachi said.

Naruto smirked and Itachi was confused.

"What?" Itachi asked.

"The Flying Rajin I know it so let's use it to get there. My mom is going to give birth soon so my parents will be vulnerable especially my mom. If I think about it, they could do the same thing they did with my birth," Naruto explained.

"I agree with you kit there are some things that can't be prevented even if you try your hardest," Kurama chimed in.

"What are you saying?" Naruto asked as Itachi was watching him confused.

"We should have gone to the tomb before because if I remember correctly some of the stuff that happened still happened. It's also because you can't control everything. You stopped the people you were close to from impacting harm to Konoha but outside forces still play a part," Kurama explained.

"Shit," Naruto said grabbing Itachi's hand and used Flying Rajin quickly.

"Naruto what the hell?" Itachi asked feeling sick.

"Find him and I will find my parents," Naruto said and Itachi was sure something was happening without his knowledge.

Itachi pulled Naruto to him giving him a kiss and then disappeared in a flock of crows.

"Come back to me," Naruto said softly and ran out of the apartment going to Shisui.

"What are you doing back?" Shisui asked shocked.

"There's going to be an attack on Konoha we have to evacuate civilians now and I need to know where my dad has my mom and himself hid now," Naruto said.

"Naruto I can find your mom since my counterpart is inside her," Kurama said.

"Do it Shisui if you don't a lot of people are going to die. Evacuate everyone now the Akatsuki is on the move," Naruto said shocking Shisui and making him get up from his seat as he called his Anbu to his side.

"I have to go but you should evacuate also," Naruto said.

"I can't I can evacuate the people but I have to stay that's why I'm the Hokage," Shisui said proudly.

"IF it gets to rough hide please, we still need you," Naruto said and then he jumped out the window.

"Naruto you know he won't hide right?" Kurama said softly.

"I know, take me to my mom," Naruto said.

"Let me out," Kurama said.

"Distraction," Naruto said.

"Yes, but no matter what I do you stay attached to me no matter what," Kurama said.

"Yes," Naruto said nodding his head as he let Kurama out of the seal.

As soon as Kurama was let out there was mass panic all over the village and Shisui was shocked he didn't know what was going on. Itachi on the other hand felt Naruto and he wanted to go to him but he knew what he needed to do to stop the attack.

"KISAME STOP!" Itachi screamed as he came into contact with the shark-like man.

Kisame was just about to kill another guard as his partner ran up toward them and Itachi remembered the man as his old partner. They were paired with each other.

"Kisame you don't need to do this," Itachi said.

"Who's that Kisame? You know him," Juzo asked confused and Kisame felt something amiss.

"Kisame you know me we were together for seven years I know things about you that you never told anyone. I know how you got roped into the Akatsuki and I know why but come on man please don't do this we're friends," Itachi pleaded because he really didn't want to kill his friend.

"I don't know you but for some reason, my sword is telling me to not kill you but I can still catch you to find out who you are," Kisame said charging at him.

"Ah damn it," Itachi mumbled as he put him under a Genjutsu. "Now you," Itachi said pulling out his sword and attacking Juzo. "Leave Konoha without Kisame now," Itachi said remembering the leeway he gave him.

The fact that Juzo sacrificed himself for him that one mission they did together is what kept him from killing him this very moment.

"I won't be leaving you'll have to kill me first," Juzo said as he started a pattern for his Jutsu.

"Don't," Itachi said and charged already knowing the Jutsu and cut Juzo down.

"Itachi," Itachi heard a voice behind him making him turn around. "Why are you sparing someone?" Fugaku asked over Kisame's body.

"He's a friend," Itachi said his voice low and a part of him was scared.

"You save a friend but... never mind I will take care of him you go and help Naruto and Shisui," Fugaku said solemnly.

"Father please don't kill him," Itachi said.

"I won't but I want an explanation," Fugaku said. "And I expect one after this," Fugaku said.

"I promise, just please don't kill him," Itachi said scared to leave Fugaku alone with Kisame.

"I won't kill him just go help Minato," Fugaku said.

Itachi nodded his head and ran toward where he knew Naruto was.

Fugaku sighed in his hands and took Kisame in chakra handcuffs to the police station.

'Why did my firstborn kill our clan?' Fugaku wondered in his head as he waited for everything to calm down.

Thankfully everything was taken care of before anything serious could happen. No one was harmed aside from a few dead guards and Naruto getting a stern lecture for using his abilities out again.

"Naruto," Itachi said softly.

"What's wrong?" Naruto asked.

"He knows," Itachi said scared.

"Do you want me to talk to him?" Naruto asked.

"I have to I promised," Itachi said.

"You have to keep your promise, do you want me to come?" Naruto asked scratching the back of his head.

"Please I don't think I can go in there without someone forcing me to," Itachi said.

"Where are we supposed to go?" Naruto asked.

"No need I'm here," Fugaku said entering through the window. "Naruto can you not talk through this?" Fugaku asked.

"If it can get me to not get kicked out, I'm fine with not talking," Naruto said getting a nod from Fugaku. "Go ahead Itachi," Naruto said encouraging the Uchiha to talk.

"I figured it would be hard for you to come in the Uchiha district so I came where I knew you'd be now is the time for you to tell me everything," Fugaku said.

"What do you want to know?" Itachi asked in a shaky voice.

"I didn't remember you at first but I loved the name Itachi I couldn't explain why so I named you Itachi without knowing the reason. It seems your name was always meant to be Itachi. I watched you grow up and I started noticing things that I felt were so close to the person I met in the past but I couldn't remember. Those eyes the ones that are filled with pain when looking at me are the same eyes from the past. I didn't see them before you came back from the mission where Naruto almost died. When I saw the desperate look in your eyes when you thought Naruto would die was the same eyes I saw in the past when you thought I was going to die. At that moment I remembered you from the past and all the stuff you told me and I want to know what I wanted to know then why did kill our clan?" Fugaku asked.

"I did it for the village," Itachi said shaking his head. "When..." Itachi stopped nervously rubbing the back of his neck.

"It was easier before to talk to me I see because you didn't see me as your father," Fugaku said.

"I always saw you as my father I just don't know how to explain it. You remember what Naruto said in the past about Minato dying?" Itachi asked.

Fugaku nodded his head.

"He died because of the fox that was put in Naruto in the past that isn't here anymore. We got blamed for the fox getting out because it was known that no Uchiha's were out of the village but that wasn't true we... there was one outside of the village. He led the fox to attack the village and they blamed us Minato wasn't there to stop the animosity and it led to the Uchiha wanting to start a coup de taut and I was sent with Shisui to be undercover by the Hokage but my loyalties lied with the village first and foremost. I loved you but I didn't agree with you so when Shisui died I was left with no choice I got sent by Danzou to take out the village under false pretenses that it was the Hokage who wanted me to kill our clan but it wasn't it was him. Then I got sent out of the village to join the Akatsuki and give Jiraiya information so he could bring it to the Hokage whenever it was needed," Itachi said.

"You feel guilty?" Fugaku asked as he soaked up all of the information his firstborn gave him.

"No, I don't because if I did it would have all been for nothing," Itachi said.

"You didn't kill Sasuke," Fugaku said.

"No," Itachi said.

"Why?" Fugaku asked.

"I couldn't, I refused," Itachi said. "He meant more to me then everyone in the whole world," Itachi said.

"That's how you became Sasuke's best friend?" Fugaku asked looking at Naruto.

"We were both alone and we understood each other in ways most people didn't understand," Naruto said.

Fugaku looked back at Itachi.

"Don't ever feel guilty about your decision it wasn't wrong and I understand. You can always come back home I know there's a part of you that is afraid and I'm sorry I can't stop that fear but we're here now and Shisui is alive so come back home," Fugaku said.

"I am home," Itachi said looking at Naruto.

"So, you realized how you feel now," Fugaku said making both of the boys blush. "I'm glad, Naruto, Itachi I'm glad you changed the future for the better. Naruto takes care of my boy," Fugaku said as he went toward the window. "Come home sometime Itachi your mother really wants to see you," Fugaku said.

"Father what about Kisame?" Itachi asked.

"He's in the cells at the police station come and talk to him when you calm down," Fugaku said and got a nod from Itachi.

Fugaku stepped off of the window walking back to his oldest son and put their foreheads together.

"I'm sorry I hurt you," Fugaku said with a sad smile on his face. "I placed a heavy burden on you and I am sorry," Fugaku said then let his son go and went out of the window.

Itachi fainted onto the bed shocked making Naruto run to him.

"I don't think I ever heard him apologize," Itachi mumbled.

Naruto looked down at him with a smile.

"He remembered you but let you have time to assimilate back to society but he was always watching you," Naruto said sure of himself.

Itachi was shaking he was so overwhelmed at the moment.

"Calm down Itachi," Naruto soothed him while rubbing his arms in a hug.

It wasn't tight or constrained but it was firm and Itachi knew he was cared for.

"This is my home right Naruto?" Itachi asked looking at Naruto's eyes with hope in them.

"Yes, this is your home," Naruto said with a smile. "How about we rest for the night and then go to see Kisame in the morning?" Naruto asked.

"Yeah that would be better," Itachi said with a yawn.

The two curled into each other on the bed and laid there silently neither were sleeping and neither were talking because they both didn't really know what to say. Kurama decided to make them both comfortable and he put a warm cloak over the two of them wanting them to sleep peacefully. It was a peaceful night for the two but what was going to happen tomorrow?

Reviews...

Hey everyone.

So Minato, Nagato, and Orochimaru remember Naruto well Nagato and Minato remember both but Fugaku remembers Itachi and Orochimaru remembers Naruto. Fugaku is sure Naruto was in the past with Itachi but he doesn't remember him like he does Itachi. They remember the person that impacted them. Itachi impacted Fugaku as Naruto impacted Orochimaru.

What did you think about the chapter?

Oh yeah, and it was a mini attack someone was trying to get to Minato to get Kurama.
