Summary: After having everything he cared for taken away, Naruto listens to Kyuubi and uses his powers to take himself and his dying love into the past. Can he change the future, or will it stay the same. Naruto/OC, Time Travel.

A/N: As you can see, I started another fic, but in my defense, I've taken a few of mine off for repairs and this one is much better than I believed it would turn out it would be. My other fics will be put back on, but only after I fix them up and finish a few of the fics that I left out. I've been working on them all, just I haven't been able to finish them. By the way, I don't hate any one character, I'm just showing that anyone can be put in a bad light. So only in this first chapter will there be some bashing, afterwards there will be none... well not very much. Also for you to know, I've hadn't been online so that's why I've haven't been updating and don't expect fast updates now as I'm using a library computer to update. Anyways, sit back, relax and get your hand away from that mouse unless your scrolling down and enjoy.

I Do Not Own Naruto.

-------------------

On top of the Hokage monument, more specifically on top of the Yondaime's head was a young man around eighteen years old looking at Konoha with blank eyes. Everything he wanted had been taken away from him in a painful way.

Everyone in the Rookie nine believed Naruto was the next in line to become hokage including Sasuke, who had been returned a year before after Naruto wiped the floor with him. Hell, even the elders Koharu and Homura had approved him for being the next in line. Of course Danzo didn't, but he just didn't like Naruto to begin with as he didn't get his way to turn him into a weapon.

But something happened that no one could predict, Tsunade, the women he consider his sister and quite possibly his mother had announced Sakura as the next Hokage. Needless to say everyone besides the pink haired girl was pissed, yet if any of them tried to do anything to her, they found themselves locked in prison under Tsunade's orders. So, Hinata, Sasuke and Shikamaru were imprisoned because of this.

On the first day of office, Sakura announced that Naruto was a jinchuuriki and even encourage people to treat him badly. Needless to say, a few more assassination attempts were made and one nearly succeed, and surprisingly it was Lee. The ones that didn't try anything on her, did their best to protect Naruto and even attempted to convince him to go to Suna, but he had already lost his hope and just shook his head at them every time they tried to tell him to leave.

Then Sakura did something that even some of the villagers questioned. She had ordered the execution of everyone but Sasuke, as she would be ousted if she offed the last Uchiha, that treated Naruto like a human as in her words, he was a vile beast that was no better than Kyuubi. If Kyuubi could have gotten free from it's cage, it no doubly would have rend the girl asunder and then devoured her, but alas it wasn't. Even with the law, the rookie nine, Gai's team, Shizune and the Suna trio still helped him.

In response to this, Sakura order Chouji, Ino, Shino, Shizune, Tenten and Temari to be executed immediately. In the end, Shino and Temari escaped with the help of Naruto intervening and left for Suna. Once Gaara heard this, he instantly declared war on Konoha and oddly enough so did Iwa, but more than likely to get revenge for their defeat two decades ago.

Somehow, Konoha managed to get Kiri and Kumo on their sides and started the next great Shinobi war. Both sides were well matched, but the tide seemed to be turning against the rebellions favor as they were being pushing back by the Konoha, Kiri and Kumo's forces. But in a bold move, they struck back with lethal force. They had taken Kiri out of the war by sending their jinchuuriki into Kirigakure and letting them go wild before they sent an invasion force in to finish them off.

As news of this was heard, Konoha and Kumo were starting to be pushed back as they were out numbered four to one due to Iwa's massive numbers and their lack of good shinobi as most had sided with the rebellion. In a desperate attempt to regain control, they tried to bring Oto into the war, only for them to say 'Fuck off, we don't want anything to do with this.' After failing to get them to help, they launched a surprise attack on the rebellion force in hope to change the tide of the war. In a catastrophic battle, Gaara, Sasuke and Tenshi, the Gondaime Tsuchikage and jinchuuriki of Shichibi fell to Sakura, Tsunade and Yugito. Though they had won the small battle, Konoha suffered devastating loses and had no choice to retreat.

As they returned to Konoha, they met a sight they would never believed they would see. Konoha was in ruins and in the middle of it was an eight tailed Naruto and a five tailed Kazekiri Keisha, jinchuuriki of Gobi. After a short spout off by Tsunade and Sakura, Naruto and Keisha went berserk and started slaughtering the Konoha shinobi as if they were cattle.

The ones remaining were the elites, Sakura, Tsunade and Yugito, though she was petrified beyond all fear seeing the amount of killing intent and power being put out the two superior jinchuuriki. Just as they were recovering a battalion of shinobi from the Konoha rebels, Iwa and Suna surround them, but backed off letting Naruto take his revenge on Tsunade and Sakura. Yugito, as she was now officially the Raikage, was the only one left standing and was forced to sign a treaty of neutrality along with the Mizukage, who was captured during the invasion.

After they finished, the remainder of the Konoha rebellion went to fix their home after Koharu and Homura signed an alliance with Iwa and Suna. Naruto on the other hand went to where he always did and that was were we found our young hero. He looked on as the Iwa shinobi helped started building homes for the homeless Konoha shinobi. He sighed deeply as he looked on, not sure what to do now. Almost all his precious people besides Kakashi, Kurenai, Temari and Shino had fallen in the war and the ones that had survived fallen in love with each other. He did have one other, but he wasn't sure how she felt about him.

"Naruto."

A soft voice came from behind him. He slowly turned around and saw Keisha in her battle armor looking down at him with worry. He nodded at her slightly before scooting over a bit. She smiled and sat next to him and looked over the village she helped destroy. She didn't feel good about it, but they deserved it for what they did to him over the years.

She sighed and looked over at him and blushed lightly. She had to admit she had fallen for him during the war and couldn't help but feel slightly giddy around him, even though her training from Tenshi said that love was something that was never meant for jinchuuriki, though before he died he had given her his blessing. She just wished that she knew how Naruto felt about her. As the two sat quietly, Keisha took a deep breath as it was now or never.

"Naruto. I..." He turned towards her as she tried to find her voice. She really wanted to tell him, but she just couldn't find the courage to do it. It was odd, she could help destroy a village, but trying to tell someone she liked them was almost impossible. As she tried to regain her courage, Naruto looked at her oddly. 'Why does this seem familiar? Okay, let's see. Flushed cheeks, check. Loss of voice, check. Nervous beyond all reason, check. OH MY KAMI! SHE'S ACTING LIKE HINATA!'

True as that was, Keisha had finally regained her courage and looked him in the eye. "Naruto, I... I think... I like you." At this Naruto looked at her confused before it registered in his mind what she said. Suddenly, the little men in his mind that surrounded a nuclear reactor started running away screaming something about a meltdown.

Keisha turned away from him, thinking he had rejected her as he hadn't answered yet, but in truth his brain was rebooting. She was about to get up and walk away when he placed a hand on her shoulder, making her look at him. He looked her in the eyes to see if she was telling the truth and couldn't see anything in them that told otherwise. Naruto smiled at her before speaking. "Well since your being honest, I..." He took a deep breath as it was hard for him as well.

"I like you as well, I was just to caught up in the war to say anything." Keisha's eyes widen as she heard that and nearly passed out from the shock. Naruto noticed this and began to panic as he had enough of this with Hinata and still didn't know how to react to it. After a few moments, she managed to overcome her shock before hugging him tightly, much to his surprise.

"Thank you!" That definitely was a reaction he was suspecting but he couldn't help but chuckle as he lightly hugged her back. Realizing what she was doing, she pulled back and lightly blushed. "Sorry... I just thought after so long, that I would never..." Naruto placed his finger on his lips.

"I know. I felt the same for a long time. I eventually gave up until I ran into you. For some reason I couldn't hold my emotionless mask around you. Just being around you made me feel something I hadn't felt before, not even my stupid crush on Sakura felt like how I did about you. I..." This time Keisha silenced Naruto by placing her finger on his mouth.

"Shush. I know. I've felt the same, but I can't explain it." Naruto smiled at her before he smirked playfully and bit her finger lightly. She yelped and glares at him before gaining the same smirk on her face as she tackled him. Of course Naruto wasn't prepared for this and knew he wasn't when Keisha started tickling him all over. Trying not to laugh, he turned the tables by flipping her over and started repaying the favor.

Unfortunately for Keisha, she had no self control and started laughing as he continued his assault. Of course she wasn't going to lie down and submit as she was the jinchuuriki of Gobi no Houkou. So she started looking for a way out and grinned as she bit down on his neck. Naruto yelped as he stopped tickling her and she took her chance and pushed him off of her and ran up the cliff before running into the forest. Naruto smirked and chased after her and quickly caught up before pinning her to a tree.

Both looked at each other while panting lightly before Naruto leaned in and kissed her on the lips. Keisha was taken aback by this, but accepted easily as she started to kiss back. The two were lost in the moment as their hands trailed down the others body and they deepened their kiss. They released their kiss to get some air before they locked lips once more. Keisha began moaning as Naruto pushed his tongue into her mouth and wrapped her arms around his neck and dragged him to ground with her.

After a little while and some teasing by both, Naruto pulled back before leaning against the tree, holding Keisha tightly. She smiled as she snuggled up against him before looking up at him. "Naruto-kun." He looked down at her with a smile on his face, but noticed her serious face. "What's wrong?"

She shook her head at him. "Nothings wrong. I... I just wanted to know... will you come back to Iwa with me?" He looked thoughtful at this. He really didn't know what to do. He had no love for Konoha after all the years, but it was still his home and leaving it wasn't something he was to fond of, even after destroying it. Yet, if he didn't, he knew she would go back to Iwa as it was her home and figured that they wouldn't let her leave the village without something in return. Looking at her face, all his worry washed away before nodding.

"I will go, though I'll have to explain to Homura and Koharu why, but the old geezers will understand. They always do." She couldn't help but smile first before laughing as he had the gall to call the Konoha elders old geezers and was pretty sure he would call them that to their faces. He smiled at her laughter and sighed happily as she laid back against them. But as the old saying goes, all good things must come to an end.

Movement from behind them alerted them to another presence. The both jumped up and look around, only for their eyes widen as they noticed two people in black cloaks with red clouds scattered around it. Naruto gritted his teeth as he glared at the auburn haired man with his faced covered in piercings as Keisha did the same with the blue haired women.

Naruto growled deeply as he glared at the former leader of Akatsuki as he glared right back. Pein didn't look much different than he did when they last met, except the scar on his closed right eye that was left their when Naruto's chakra claw ripped out his eye. Naruto was the first to speak as he growled out. "Why are you here? Akatsuki has been disbanded for two years."

Pein just looked at Naruto with no visible motion as he responded. "True, but who said we were hear for the bijuu. I'm hear for revenge for taking my eye." Naruto bit back a growl at that as he started flaring his chakra. "So is that it then. Fine by me, let's finish what we started two years ago." With unreal speed Naruto hands slipped into his pouches and threw two odd looking kunai towards them. They dove out of the way as Naruto turned in a flash of yellow light and appeared were they were seconds before and grabbed his kunai before tossing them at Pein.

He turned into another flash of light and kicked him in the stomach before disappearing again and delivering an axe kick, severing his head only for it to turn into another person. Naruto's eyes widen before he ducked below as a katana slashed were he stood. He rolled out of the way before pulling out more of the odd kunai and throwing them into the air and flashed through a few hand seals.

"Kage Kunai no Jutsu!"

Suddenly the few kunai turned into a massive amount as they started to fall back down and embedded themselves into every nearby object. Pein's eyes widen before opening his right eye to reveal something that chilled Naruto to the bone. Itachi's Mangekyou. As quick as he saw it the field was covered in black flames destroying the kunais to keep Naruto from gaining the upper hand. Naruto gritted his teeth as he was running short on his Hiraishin kunai and knew without them, Pein was the better even after two years of training.

'Shit! I have no choice. Kyu, give me as much as I can handle!' From within Kyuubi grumbled about being ordered around, but did so as he had a modest respect of the flesh bag from over the years. Though he would still eat him if he ever could do it without killing himself. Red youki started pouring out and surrounded Naruto in the form a giant fox with eight tails.

Over the course of the war, the Yondaime Tsuchikage, Kakashi, Gaara, Naruto himself and everyone that had decent knowledge of seals was called in to help activate the key the Yondaime Hokage left so that Naruto could use Kyuubi's youki without horrendous side effect like it did when he was fifteen. They succeeded, but it cost the Yondaime Tsuchikage's life. The only disadvantage about the unlocked youki was that he lost the almost impenetrable youki/blood barrier. Though he still could make a barrier, it required almost total concentration and in a battle, that was something you were not given.

He let out an earth shattering roar before disappearing without a hint of where he went. Pein cursed as he jumped away from a claw swipe from Naruto that tore the ground asunder. Pein gritted his teeth and knowing that he was putting Konan in danger, he activated an ability of his Rinnegan eye. Within moments, the sky suddenly was clouded over with storm clouds as rain began to fall from them.

Naruto narrowed his eyes seeing this. He was no fool. Even with the Mangekyou, Pein couldn't track his movements, but with the rain pouring down he would be able to with his Rinnegan. He growled deeply before rushing towards Naruto with impossible speeds. Pein barely managed to dodge the first swipe but couldn't dodge the second as the claw ripped through his cloak and left three shallow gashes on his chest.

He tried to counter attack, but Naruto was just too fast. After a few failed counter attacks, Pein was on thin ice. Naruto had already cause severe damage and he knew a few more like that and it was over. As he managed to dodge another strike, he suddenly came up with an idea right as a chakra tail slapped her across the chest, sending him skidding across the ground.. He slowly stood up and gritted his teeth as he waited for Naruto to get closer as he slowly started sending chakra to Mangekyou. Naruto didn't disappoint him as he tried to slice him.

"Amaterasu!"

Naruto's eyes widened as he heard this and focused everything he had on forming a barrier as the black flames engulfed him. From nearby, Pein heard Keisha's scream in fear of what just happened as the flames burned Naruto's corpse. An uncharacteristic smile appeared on his face as he saw this and started to walk towards Konan, thinking it was done.

Just then, the flames suddenly started to part way as red youki pushed it away from it's user. Pein's eyes widen as he turned around to see Naruto walking towards him through the black flames as though nothing happened. He couldn't help but feel a sliver of fear at he saw this.

Last time around, Naruto had gotten lucky as he caught Pein off guard and forced him to flee in defeat even though he was clearly the stronger of the two. But this time it was different. Naruto was clearly the superior this time around even with his new eye.

He turned towards the weary and battered Konan knowing that he had to do with it as he looked at the girl to see her using Gobi's youki. Suddenly an idea struck him. 'If I can't be him, I'll just take away this girl. That's a fair trade for my eye.' With that he suddenly rushed Keisha to the surprise of all and pulled out his katana and struck her in the heart before she could react.

The world began to crash down on him as he saw blood seeping from the wound and watched Keisha from become limp. Naruto's heart stopped beating as she fell to the ground in slow motion. Every second seemed like an eternity as his eyes zoomed on her and nothing but her. Tears falling at a rapid pace as he fell to his knees. When her body hit the ground, something inside of him snapped as he screamed out loud in agony.

The ground began shaking as the youki burst and swirled around him in a terrify display of power. The ground around him began to crack from the pressure the youki before lifting giant pieces of solid ground. He continued screaming as the youki started levitating him. It continued lifting him till he was at least ten meters in the air as a enormous burst of red chakra created a shock wave that was felt through most of the land of fire. The youki started to form a giant fox with nine tails waving madly behind it.

It continued growing in size as the ever increasing amount of chakra was pumped into it. Both Pein and Konan and the others that arrived when they felt the large amount of power being put could only watch in horror as Naruto was no longer visible as the chakra finally started coming to a halt. For the first time in eighteen years, the full power of Kyuubi was unleashed in the form of a forty meter tall chakra fox.

The eyes suddenly snapped open to show the pitch black pits as they focused on the two former Akatsuki members. Even though they had heard of the power and the fear that the nine tail fox induced, they weren't prepared for anything like this as it was just short of being able to kill without even having to lift a paw.

Pein was unable to move as the fox suddenly pounced him with ungodly speed. In a split second, it was behind him as if it did nothing to him. A moment afterwards, blood started to seep from almost every inch of his body as he slid into thousands of pieces. Everyone couldn't help but be more petrified as they looked at the gory seen. The only ones not completely effected by if were the one that had been around during Kyuubi's attack eighteen years ago. And even they were slightly petrified by the scene.

The fox turned it's eyes to the terrified Konan before fazing out. In second, Konan was no more than a gory mess of bloody goo as the nine tailed fox had stomped her before walking over to the lifeless form of Keisha. It laid down besides her and started to fade away. The killing intent was lifted on everyone there as it lessened till it came to stop. Once they all came to, they all saw Naruto holding onto Keisha with a still flowing river of tears.

As he cried, he heard a voice from within. "Kit. It's still possible to save her." Naruto's eyes widen as he heard this and didn't care if other people were around as he responded. "How?"

The nine tailed fox smirked as he saw this. "It's quite simple kit. Using an ancient ritual, we can save her but with dire consequences." Naruto nodded with tears still following. "What do I have to do." At this, the fox could help but be somewhat shocked. 'He's going to throw all caution to the wind just to save. Shit, I could get him to free me like this, if it were possible.' Shaking that off he spoke. "I will kit, but you need to know the consequences first."

Naruto nodded as he waited for Kyuubi to tell him. "This is a technique even forbidden by us unless the situation is dire, and I can say for what happened to you throughout your life, it is. It is a time traveling ritual." Naruto's eyes widen hearing this as his tears had stopped, but only because he had no more.

"Now the first problem with it is that it destroys the user body. Now in this case mine, but since I don't have a body we don't have to worry. The next is that you will inhabit the body of that time. So that means that everything you have worked for will be negated. You might have the knowledge, but either you body doesn't know how are cannot handle it at the time. So that means that Hiraishin will be unusable till you turn adolescent."

"Finally, the last problem. The time line. Since you have knowledge of everything that can happen in the future, you can change it. But some events were meant to happen. Let's say if you keep Itachi from massacring his family, someone else will do it, traumatizing the brooding Uchiha you considered a brother. It doesn't mean you can't change them, just don't be surprised if they still happen. This also means that you can change the opinions of the big breast whore and her lesbo apprentice. Basically, your getting a clean slate from the point of time you start in."

"So I change everything then... Alright, how do I do it." Naruto spoke with determination in his eyes as he looked down at Keisha.

"Good. Now your going to have to do this for her to so Gobi can send her through time as well. She's still alive, but time is a factor here. Naruto nodded quickly as he listened to Kyuubi's instructions. "Alright, the first thing you need to do is to slit an X pattern on both of your palms and do the same with hers." Naruto nodded as he pulled out a kunai and did as Kyuubi instructed, much to the confusion to everyone there, trying to figure out what was going on. Some wanted to intervene, but Kakashi and Kurenai kept them as they knew the relationship between Naruto and Kyuubi and whatever this was, was going to be big.

"Alright, now I want you to mix your blood with hers. Then after doing so, I want you to create the Exodus seal that I showed you a while back with your mixed blood. Then move her and yourself to the center of the seal." Naruto nodded and quickly made a level clearing and started making the seal that looked like a six point star within an double helix chain like circle surround it. Once he finished, he dried it using a fire jutsu like a blow dryer before placing himself and Keisha in the very center of it.

"Okay, now just sit back and try not move much. This is Gobi and my part and it's going to hurt like hell." Naruto nodded lightly as he looked at Keisha in his arms before closing his eyes and hoped that this would work. Red youki began surrounding Naruto as green surrounded Keisha. But instead of taking shape of the bijuu as it normally did, it started to form a blackish sphere around them.

As the youki from both continued to increase, Naruto began to feel a stinging sensation throughout his whole body. It continued to grow every second and he bit his lip to keep from yelling as it was now felt like he was being stabbed by a thousand white hot kunais. Only his years of training and his iron will was the only thing keeping from writhing in pain as it continued growing as Gobi's youki stopped, but Kyuubi's continued to increase. A few more moments, Naruto wasn't sure if he could out much longer as the pain searing through his body was unlike anything he had ever felt before.

Finally, Kyuubi's youki reached it's peak as the sphere completely engulfed them and started to bubble as it slowly started to turn white. The sphere expanded as it grew brighter and brighter making everyone nearby back up and look away from it as it was becoming blinding. The was that didn't were no longer able to see as the ball exploded in a massive wave of pure white light that was seen from miles away.

A few moments later, everyone that wasn't permanently blinded was beginning to regain there vision. What they saw was a empty clearing with no sign of Naruto of Keisha. The first person to speak was Temari. "What happen?"

Kakashi shook his head. "I think Naruto's pulled another fast one on us to live up to his reputation as the number one most surprising ninja."

-------------------

Keisha suddenly awoke and looked around to check out her surroundings. Her eyes widen seeing that she was in her room and she jumped up and ran to the mirror to see that she wasn't quite tall enough to see her reflection. She began panicking as she looked around for any clues to what happened and why was she here before a calm voice spoke from within her.

"Calm down child."

She suddenly stopped as she instantly recognized the voice of her tenant, Gobi no Houkou. She took a deep breathe to calm herself down not to worry her father or her guard, which oddly enough felt like Tenshi. "G-Gobi? What's going on? I... I thought... I died."

She heard him sigh before speaking. "You were on the verge of death child. Kyuubi's vessel, Naruto I believe used an ancient ritual to send the user back in time, with Kyuubi's help. In addition, he mix your blood with his and had Kyuubi tell me what to do. So in order to survive myself, I sent my youki through you and sent you back in time as Kyuubi did the same with him. And don't worry, there was no mistakes, he is in this time period, just in Konoha."

Keisha's face dimmed at that. "I know... there must be some way to get to him..." Gobi stayed silent as he had heard what they had said and wanted the best for his container. 'Maybe I can convince tou-san to let me go sight seeing and then sneak away from my guards and head to Konoha... That might work... but he might send Tenshi with me and there is no way I can shake him.' Gobi continued to stay silent as he listened to his vessels plans to leave Iwa and refrained from saying that he and Kyuubi already had came up with a plan for them. He had no love for this place, but he knew that Naruto for the most part didn't have much love for his home other than his precious people.

After thinking a bit, she decided to get some sleep. She slipped into her bed and looked out of the window before sadly smiling. 'Naruto-kun. Don't worry. I'll find a way...' She smiled a bit before curling up and falling asleep within moments.

From outside, sixteen year old Tenshi was having a conversation with Shichibi. "What do you mean she doesn't feel the same any more? Keisha-chan feels alright to me." He heard a growl of annoyance from the beaver like creature from within him. "You can be serious? Sure, she is physically the same, but try and feel her mental wave patterns."

Tenshi twitched at this. "If you haven't forgotten, I'm not telepathic like you are!" From within he could feel Shichibi sweat drop as he had forgotten. After a few seconds of recovering, it spoke up. "Alright, you win on that. But something feels off about her. She feels... older. Almost ten years older at that."

The jinchuuriki narrowed his eyes at that. "And what is that suppose to mean?" Shichibi stayed quite making Tenshi believe he wasn't going to answer. Laying back against the wall, he tried to sense what was going on in the room and could feel that Keisha was slightly distressed, but nothing was in the room besides herself. He narrowed his eyes and was about to enter the room to figure out what was wrong when Shichibi spoke up.

"I think I know what's different now." Tenshi twitched at this before sighing. "Alright, tell me." The seven tailed bijuu sighed before answering him. "I shouldn't be telling you as we swore that we would never use it unless drastic measures were needed, but I'm thinking this is what happened."Tenshi looked worried at that as he awaited Shichibi to tell him. The bijuu sighed deeply before continuing.

"I believe her soul is from the future." At this Tenshi eyes widen. "WHAT?! HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?!" Shichibi flinched at this and shook his head as his ears were ringing. He sighed before answering. "We have a ritual that can allow us to travel time, but it is quite costly as it destroys our bodies in the process. But if we are inside a vessel, it's a little different. It would allow us to send them back to a certain time and they would inhabit their body at the time."

Tenshi looked still looked somewhat skeptical, but sensing the ever changing mood of Keisha from within he was beginning to wonder. "Alright, so say if they did. Why would she be acting like this?" Shichibi mentally shrugged at him. "Many possible reasons really. Anything from not remembering it happening, that she's in her old body or that she's searching for somebody is the most likely though."

He nodded his head at the first two, but the last one caught his attention. "Searching for someone... What do you mean?" Shichibi scoffed at him. "Gobi was telling me what happened and the circumstances after I contacted him, trying to figure out what was going on. I seems that she's searching for someone she fell for." At this Tenshi narrowed his eyes. "She fell for someone... Wait... What are the circumstances?"

Shichibi scoffed at him. "So you believe me now." Tenshi narrowed his eyes at him. "Maybe I do, maybe I don't. Now tell me the circumstances." Shichibi shook his head."I cannot. If she wishes to tell you, she can. But no one else will. Now excuse me, I need some sleep." With that, Shichibi shut off the connection between the two, leaving a slightly pissed jinchuuriki muttering on what to do with his disobedient prisoner.

He sighed before leaning up against the wall once more feeling that Keisha was asleep. He wonder on what Shichibi told him before sighing again. 'What the hell am I going to tell, Yondaime-sama...'

-------------------

Looking outside the window, Naruto was oddly quite which was unnerving Sarutobi to no end. What had him worried was that Naruto requested to leave the village earlier. He of course denied him as he was his guardian and didn't want Naruto to experience the real world yet. But the look in Naruto's eyes seemed to be nearly lifeless which was scaring the old man the death.

He had never seen Naruto look like this before and it was disturbing him greatly and he began to rethink about letting him leave for awhile as he knew the boy need it. Sarutobi knew that Naruto hadn't had the best life in the village in his nine years of life and the academy wasn't going very well either, but he still worried about the boy he considered his second grandson. He sighed deeply as he made his decision, he was just now trying to figure out who to send with him.

'Hm. Should I send Kakashi... Nah, he wouldn't be someone to have around Naruto. He might get him hooked on Icha Icha... and with his mind, that could be a bad thing. Tenzo... no. He would look after Naruto, but probably be a little over protective and not give him some free space. Hm... can't send Anko as he might not come back alive as he does have a habit of pissing people off. Yugao is a possibility, and so is Itachi. Hm... tough choice.'

After a few minutes of decided, he pressed a red button on his speaker. "Kotetsu, can you send for Uchiha Itachi please." A crackle was heard on the speaker. "Okay Hokage-sama." Sarutobi nodded as he looked over to the emotionless Naruto and sighed as he started signing the lessening mass of paper work in front of him. After a few moments, a knock at the door was heard before Itachi walked into the room looking somewhat confused as to why he was called. Looking around the room he noticed a stoic Naruto.

His eyes widen seeing that, but quickly schooled himself back into his stoic appearance, though his mind was running a hundred miles per hour. 'Okay. Something's not right here. Naruto is always hyperactive and energetic though he does shows a great deal of sadness every now and then when his mask cracks. So what is going to make him like this, wait... this better not be what I think it is...'

Sarutobi looked up from his paperwork. "Mourning Itachi-kun." Itachi just gave him the Uchiha death glare to get on with it. The old man sighed knowing Itachi had already figure this had something to do with Naruto and just decided to get it over with. "Well, seeing as you have an idea of what's going on. I giving you a B-rank mission to escort, guard and teach Naruto a little bit as he wants some time away from the village." Naruto looked up at the old man and smiled a bit before shaking that off and returning to looking outside the window.

Itachi didn't give any outward reaction, but inside he was nodding his head as he knew Naruto hadn't had the best life so far. 'Also it gives me time away from father. I wonder why he's been acting so odd as of lately.' Shaking that off, he looked over at Naruto before sighing. "So all you want me to do is watch over him and spend some time outside the village and maybe teach him some things." Sarutobi nodded at him. "Yes, that's all."

The teenage Uchiha nodded before asking another question. "So where does he want to go." Sarutobi didn't really know himself and turned to Naruto, how turned back to them and answer in an emotionless tone. "The border towns around Iwa no Kuni." Both raised their eyebrows at this, but they shrugged it off as Naruto just wanting to get as far away as possible for a little while. Sarutobi turned towards Itachi. "Well, do you accept." Itachi nodded at this and turned towards Naruto.

"Get your stuff packed and meet me at the main gate." Naruto nodded before walking outside the room as Itachi looked at Sarutobi strangely. "Okay, why is Naruto acting so strangely." Sarutobi sighed as he looked out the window and towards the Hokage monument, more specifically the Yondaime. "I don't know, but when he asked me to leave, he said he wanted to go to Iwa. I'm not sure what's going on, but it my have something to do with Kyuubi, which is why I assigned you instead of Tenzo. He could restrain Kyuubi's youki, but you can as well, though not to the same extant and you can also go into his mind to figure out what is happening."

Itachi nodded at that before looking out the window to see Naruto walk by the glaring villagers with absolutely no emotion on his face. He mentally cringed at that before mentally sighing. "Alright, I'll take a look once we are far enough away." Sarutobi nodded at Itachi. "That's all I ask. I just hope I'm wrong." The young Uchiha nodded before shushining out to get packed. Sarutobi sighed as he looked at the paperwork in front of him before diligently working through them.

"I really wonder why I took this job at times."

-------------------

The Tsuchikage, Kazekiri Arashi was looking at his daughter, Keisha with a somewhat annoyed look on his face. "Any reason you wanted to leave the village, Keisha. Especially near the Hi no Kuni border at that, you know that we still harbor ill feelings towards Konoha." Keisha was trying to come up with something believable as she really doubted that her tou-san would believe that she was from the future and she was looking for someone, namely the son of the Yondaime Hokage, Namikaze Uzumaki Naruto.

Tenshi looked on oddly at Keisha as she was thinking up something before mentally sighing. "Okay Shichibi, you were right. You happy." In response he got a snort signifying that the giant badger like creature didn't really care. "I want to see what it's like at the border." Both Arashi and Tenshi twitched at the lame excuse as Keisha smiled brightly at the two.

Arashi looked over a Tenshi and sighed. "Any other reason you wish to go as I really don't see the point of going all the way out there just to see what it looks like." Tenshi had already explained what Shichibi had told him and was skeptical at first, but know he was beginning to wonder if the damn thing was telling the truth.

Hearing this, Keisha began to mentally panic as that was the best thing she could come up with and was trying to come up with anything now. Both older males could see this and had to refrain from sweat dropping as her face was changing every few seconds to match what she was thinking. From within her, Gobi couldn't help but sweat drop at his tenant and was beginning to wonder if her mind was reverting to the way it was during this time period.

Suddenly a smirk crossed her face making everyone in the room including the two bijuu pale as they knew what that smirk meant. It meant if you can't win with reason, go for volume.

"WWWWAAAAHHHHH!!!! I REALLY WANT TO GO! STOP BEING SO MEAN TOU-SAN! WWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!! TENSHI-KUN! PLEASE HELP ME! WWWWAAAAHHHHHHH!!!"

Everyone nearby couldn't help but hold their ears in pain as she faked crying and started increasing the volume of her voice by the second. Gobi started banging his head against the cage, wanting the torment to end as he had no way of blocking out the intense sound. Arashi was cringing as he covered his ears and noticed Tenshi twitching on the ground as he had somewhat heighten senses from Shichibi and was probably going deaf from her screaming.

He had no choice but to give in cause at this rate, she was going to cause him to have more paperwork and a pair of broken ear drums. "Alright! You can go! Just please stop crying!" Keisha instantly stopped hearing this and smiled brightly at him. "Thank you tou-san!" A sigh of relief was heard from everyone in the room and the ones outside it as well.

Arashi sighed as he turned to the recovering Tenshi before looking back at Keisha. "On one condition though, Tenshi will be going with you." Keisha grimaced at this, but she had expected it. "Alright, let's go Tenshi-kun!" Tenshi just nodded at her. "Alright, go get ready. I'll meet you at the main gate in thirty minutes." She nodded as she rushed out of the room, trying to figure out a way to ditch him.

Once she left, Tenshi turned towards the Tsuchikage, who had a look of concentration on his face. "So, what do you think?" Arashi shook his head, not sure himself. "I'm not sure, but I think you and Shichibi are right. I could tell that she wasn't herself at times and seem to act... older than she is." Tenshi nodded as he had seen as much since she had woken up in the mourning. "And the reason she wants to go to the border disturbs me. It's as if she's expecting someone to be there."

Tenshi nodded in agreement. "Either that, or she is planning on ditching me to cross the border as I can't cross without it being seen as an act of aggression." Arashi nodded as he knew that and really didn't want to have to deal with Konoha right now as they were both recovering from the war and attacks of different sorts that took the lives of the current kages of the time. He sighed as he looked out to the window and to his home to see Keisha quickly packing her things in her room.

"Take good care of her for me. I can't feel but something is off on all this." Tenshi nodded at his statement. "I will. She's like a sister to me, you know that." The Tsuchikage nodded as he sat down and looked down at the paperwork piling his desk and sighed. "Alright, you can go. Your going to have your work cut out for you with the way she's acting." Tenshi nodded and shushined out of the room. Arashi sighed as he pulled out a pen and started working on the paperwork in front of him.

"I really wonder what made me take this job."

-------------------

After a few miles after leaving Konoha, Itachi was really wondering what was going on with Naruto. He was sure that Naruto's stoic mask would fall and he would start asking him to teach him so cool jutsus, but that wasn't the case as he just continued walking towards his destination. This worried the stoic Uchiha but he didn't show it was ingrained into his head by his father that to show emotions was weakness. He absent mindly started to wonder if he had started teaching Naruto as he was giving him a run for his money.

Naruto on the other hand was speaking to Kyuubi. "So how am I going to find her Kyu. It's not like I can ditch him, he did kill his clan after all." Kyuubi sighed as he really wondered if Naruto had paid attention to his explanation before hand. "Look kit, it's simple. I told Gobi to take the girl to a border town and once he feels that we are close enough to flare his youki and I'll do the same so you two can find each other." He nodded as it was a good plan, but with one small problem.

"But we have to worry about Itachi. He can see chakra and youki easily with the Sharingan and can even repress your youki if need be." Kyuubi scoffed at that as he already thought ahead. "Kit, I'm not stupid, I already knew that. All you have to do is put some distance between him and let me flare my youki into your system. Once I've done so you'll be much faster, though probably not as fast as he is, but still you can buy some time as I look for the girl."

He nodded in agreement as it seemed like a good plan that could work, though the eluding Itachi part seemed to be a problem, but he could do it. Hell, if he could evade the Anbu after he painted the Hokage monument, he could evade him for at least a little while. "Alright, that will work. Just don't do it till I've gotten some distance from him." Kyuubi mentally nodded in confirmation before curling up and falling asleep as he was still tired from sending Naruto through time.

Itachi watched Naruto as he was speaking to Kyuubi and narrowed his eyes as he seemed to be nodding as if he was agreeing with someone. He continued to watch Naruto and activated his Sharingan to see if there was any youki leaking into his system, well more than usual. After seeing it wasn't, Itachi looked thoughtful, trying to figure out what Naruto was doing when they arrived at a small town.

He was slightly surprised that they reached here so quickly and had to think about continuing or stopping here for the day. Itachi didn't have to decide as Naruto continued walking through the town not really caring that he was leaving the Uchiha prodigy behind. Itachi refrained from rushing over and strangling him as he followed Naruto out of the town.

This had him worried even more. It was as if Naruto had been here before and knew exactly where to go as they made it through the town with ease. Having no choice, he continued following the young blonde as he seemed determined to reach his goal. Getting tired of being left out of the loop, or the fact that he was getting slightly bored that there was nothing to do, he spoke up.

"Naruto. What's the rush? It's not like there is anything there anyways. Just relax and enjoy the scenery." Naruto winced as he realized that he was rushing. 'Dammit. I need to calm down otherwise he's going to suspect something if he doesn't already.' He nodded as he slowed down a bit. Itachi frowned a bit at this, but didn't say anything as he continued to look around, but was keeping a keen eye on Naruto, not liking what he had seen so far.

'It's as if he's expecting someone. But who? He doesn't know anyone outside the village. Dammit, things are getting complicated. I'll find out tonight anyhow, so no use worrying about it right now.' He sighed a bit as he looked around the scenery and refrain from smiling. 'It feels good to get away from the pressure that tou-san places on me. Though I hope otouto is doing okay.'

-------------------

Keisha smiled as they walked through the town, looking at the things in the stores trying to make it look like she was interested in them while in reality she was trying to get to the border quickly so she could find Naruto. Tenshi had noticed this and really was beginning to wonder if she was just trying to make him believe that she wasn't up to something. Of course he wasn't falling for it as he could always read her like an open book.

As she continued going through the stores, just looking at things she began speaking to Gobi. "How am I suppose to find Naruto once I sneak past Tenshi?" Gobi sighed at her before answer. "Well, once we are close enough the border, I'm going to search for Kyuubi's presence. If I can sense him, I'm going to flare some of my youki into you as he'll do the same with the boy and both of you will come searching for each other. The only problem is Tenshi as Shichibi will easily be able to tell what's going on. And more than likely Naruto will have to shake someone himself to get to you, so it's not going to be easy."

"I know that Gobi, but I don't care. I will find him, no matter what." Gobi couldn't help but smirk at his container as she said this, after all it was one of the reasons that he like her. Shaking his head, he responded. "I know, but it's still going to be tough as shaking him is going to be nearly impossible unless you cross the border." She mentally nodded knowing this already, but didn't care as she was going to find a way to do it.

Tenshi narrowed his eyes as he noticed Keisha zoning out meaning she was speaking to Gobi and couldn't help but feel paranoid that they were going to try something later on. 'And it doesn't help that I haven't had any sleep in the last thirty-six hours. Dammit, this is going to be hell.'

"Ha! You giving in already." Tenshi twitched at that. "And what does that mean?" Shichibi smirked devilishly at him. "I know you better than that. I know you feel more for her than just a sibling." Tenshi mentally raised his eyebrow though he was actually worried to were this was going. "I don't know what your talking about."

Shichibi just smirked at him. "Oh really? Than I guess those dreams with you spilling your seed into every hole of an older version of Keisha is just a phase then." Tenshi's eyes widen as he blushed slightly at that. "Damn you! You've been looking through my dreams asshole!" Shichibi shrugged at him, not really caring. "You would to if you were bored as I am."

As Tenshi began arguing with Shichibi, Keisha was done with her window shopping and staring at him expectantly. Of course he didn't noticed this much to the irritation of his charge. She took a deep breath to the horror of Gobi and instantly caught the intention of Tenshi and Shichibi as they didn't want to be on the end of another ear splitting screaming today.

"Alright, alright. We're going." Keisha smiled at him before turning around and heading out of town with him following, ignoring his tenants urges to continue their argument to get more things out of him. He really did hate the way that he spilt everything to his demon when they argued and it always turned out to bite him in the ass.

'One day, one day I'm going to get something on you and make it come back to haunt you asshole!'

-------------------

Itachi sighed as he looked at the rising moon before looking down at the now sleeping Naruto. It had taken him to use a minor genjutsu to put him to sleep as he just didn't seem to be tired. And it wasn't helping that he somehow knew the balancing leaf chakra control exercise he tried to teach him. That one had him stumped. That wasn't taught till the second year while the first was just getting them adjusted to using chakra and to teach them the basic on how to use it.

What startled him wasn't that Naruto seemed to already know how to do the exercises, but the fact that he had already mastered it and was moving up to tree climbing and even more that he could use kawarimi and a very perverted version of the henge. If it wasn't for his extreme control he would have flown back with a nose bleed at that. The henge didn't surprise him as it was a simple jutsu that was taught during the first year, but kawarimi did. That was usually taught till the last year as it was the more complicated of the three academy jutsus.

Though he wasn't surprised that Naruto couldn't do a Bunshin. Hell, with the amount of chakra he had, he would need near medic-nin control to perform just one. That was something that had him wondering as to pass the gennin exam, you had to know it, the only exception would be Rock Lee in two years as he couldn't use chakra.

That was another thing that bothered him. Sure, he knew Naruto was Kyuubi's container, but the amount of chakra he had was unnatural even for a jinchuuriki. It was close to that of Kotetsu and Izumo's combined. Now given that wasn't anywhere near his capacity, but it was still slightly frightening that he had that much. Hell, he was sure that in a few years that Naruto might surpass himself in capacity which was a scary thought as he had the third highest capacity, in Konoha behind Jiraiya and the Hokage himself and was equal to that of Hatake Kakashi, though he would soon surpass him.

He sighed as he shook his head and looked at Naruto and walked over to him. He knelt down and activated his Sharingan before placing his hand on Naruto's forehead. With a quick spin of his tomoe, he found himself inside a... sewer?

Itachi grimaced at this and started to look around to try and figure out where to go. He quickly found the pipes which he assumed to be his chakra cords and started to follow them to meet Kyuubi, as he was pretty sure Naruto's change had something to do with him anyways. As he followed the pipes, he began to hear growling that grew louder as he continued following the pipes. That confirmed that he was going in the right direction as he found himself in a large square room with the floor covered in water. The wall at the back of the room wasn't a wall but large iron bars that looked to be a cage.

He walked up calmly towards the cage, until he was a few meters away from it as he didn't want to get to close and get sliced in two by the creature he saw in the back. It's eyes snapped open showing it's crimson fury as it looked at the middle aged teen in front of him. He backed up in fear as he had never felt this much killing intent before and was slightly glad he was too young to face it years ago as he would have probably would have soiled his pants. The kitsune smirked seeing this before speaking.

"Why does another lowly Uchiha enter my domain?" Kyuubi said, trying to give Itachi a hint of what was going on without coming out and saying it. After all he had his image to hold up to. Of course, Itachi didn't get it. He was still to scared and that made his brain not function as it should. "Another Uchiha... Do you mean another has been in here recently?"

Kyuubi refrain from sighing in annoyance and decided to try and swipe at Itachi, only for the bars to stop him, much to the relief of the teen. "No. A few years ago. One with raven colored hair and clouded vision." This really confused him. The only clan members he knew that had raven colored hair other than himself, was his mother, Shusui and Sasuke and all three of them didn't even have their Sharingan at the level needed to enter a mind or hadn't even activated it as in Sasuke's case.

Of course, Kyuubi noticed this and couldn't help but bang his head against the cage bars, scaring the shit out of Itachi without meaning to. After recomposing himself right after checking his pants, the Uchiha prodigy looked up at the mighty kitsune and spoke up. "What are you doing to Naruto?" The fox sighed out loud, which sounded like a menacing growl to Itachi, before answering.

"Nothing. Just look through the kit's memories and all will be understood." Itachi narrowed his eyes at the kitsune in front of him and was about to walk off to search for them when the kitsune spoke again. "Take the left tunnel and turn to the right. Go all the way down it and there will be a large metal door at the very end. That is his memories."

Itachi once again narrowed his eyes but followed the fox's instructions and found himself at the said door. Opening it with caution, he looked in to see a pitch white hallway with many doors inside it. Seeing it was his memories, he walked inside it and took a look at the doors. "Alright. Now where to start."

"Start with the first one and go through all of them." spoke a voice behind him. Itachi whirled around and his eyes widen as he was looking at a Yondaime duplication with six whisker marks. "W-who are you?" Naruto shook his head at him. "All will be explained once you take a look through my memories." At this Itachi eyes widen. "Y-your memories?! N-Naru..."

"Yes, it's me. All will be explained if you just look through them." Itachi could only nod as he had no clue what was going on before he turned towards the first door. "Before you do though, you need to be prepared for what you will be seeing." Itachi nodded as he let Naruto continue. "Each door has multiples colors. Each has there own meaning. Red means anger, sky blue is sadness, dark to navy blue is depressed, pink is love, yellow is happiness, gray is neutral and black is a tragedy or a devastating event. You don't have to worry about other colors, that's all you will be seeing in my mind."

Itachi nodded numbly as he looked around. 'Oh shit... most of them are dark blue, light blue and gray. This isn't going to be fun.' He shook that off as he tried to open the first door and got shocked in response. He jumped back and looked at Naruto who shook his head. "It seems I have to go with you. Must be a defense I get from the seal."

The Uchiha prodigy nodded as he looked carefully at the first door. It was mostly dark blue, with some gray, red and light blue streaks through it. He cringed as he had a bad feeling most of the doors were going to be like this. Naruto opened it and nodded for him to go through. Itachi did so and watch Naruto's first memory.

He was stunned that Naruto could remember this far back as he was only four and he was cornered by some drunk villagers who beat him senseless and left him once they were done. It wasn't the worse beating he had, but it was the first and those always leave lasting impressions. Naruto continued leading him through his memories. For the first couple dozen they were all just beatings and glares from the villagers when he was around five. The next door however was black making Itachi cringe as he had a feeling what this one was as he would never forget that night.

Itachi hated that he was right and saw Naruto being burned at a stake while being used for target practice by a few drunken shinobi. His anger boiled as they continued to repeatedly put out the fire and relight it just to torture him. Then they finally put it out and one pulled his zipper and moved behind Naruto and was about to force himself on him, but that's when he arrive in the memory. A slight tear drop fell from Itachi's right eye as he watched himself slaughter the drunk shinobi before taking Naruto to the hospital. He could never forget that memory as the stench of burned flesh was burnt into his nose.

After that memory, most doors were gray with some yellow as they were just him in the hospital getting a visited by Sarutobi, Tenzo, Kakashi, himself, a few Anbu he couldn't recognize and he even swore he saw Jiraiya in the background a few times. Then they turned to light blue as most them were just villagers just glaring at him, not wanting to end up like the shinobi that attacked him or to anger his Anbu guard watching him from above, ready to execute Sandaime's law at any second.

Then came his first pink door and as he guessed, it was the day he was introduced to ramen. Itachi had to laugh at this as it was a comical scene to watch Naruto devour the ramen at a unhealthy pace after he checked to make sure it was safe. He couldn't help but smile at the man, Teuchi and his daughter, Ayame. He made a mental note to visit the stand and talk with her once they returned.

After that there they doors would alternate between yellow or pink and light blue and dark blue as he visited the ramen stand or was kicked out of other stores trying to get groceries and a few Naruto would just vacantly sit in the corner and cry as his Anbu guard went to get his groceries as they saw what he got.

The next door was the first navy blue one with some yellow in it. This was one that shock Itachi to the core as it was the first time Naruto had given up and tried to commit suicide only for an Anbu, who he knew was Kakashi, stopped him from slitting his wrist. Afterwards, Kakashi had sat down and talked with Naruto about how the death of his teammates and his sensei nearly drove him over the edge, but he managed to overcome it knowing that they wanted him to live and explained to him that his parents wouldn't want him to.

Itachi cursed at him for careful omitting the fact that he knew who his parents were, as he was curious to know who they were himself. Naruto rolled his eyes as they continued through his memories. The light blues began to fade away but were still their every now and then as Naruto adopted his happy go luck mask. The Uchiha prodigy cringed at this, forgetting it was a mask. Well, partial mask as he knew a that a good part of it was how Naruto actually acted.

They started going through his first year of the academy memories making Itachi narrow his eyes as he knew that he was nine in the memories, but he could see many doors were left. This made him turned to Naruto, how only told him to continue watching and everything would be explained. Buying that, he continued watching the memories on how Mizuki treated him badly and Iruka really didn't care at first, but was slowly started warming up to him.

As they continued through his memories, they passed the date it was today and nothing about it was like how it went. This made Itachi narrow his eyes and look at Naruto as they continue forward. In the next couple of days, he noticed Sasuke was absent and started listening to the kids talking about something. Sending chakra to his ears he could hear them clear as day.

"Didn't you hear Sakura. Apparently Sasuke's brother went psycho." Ino said looking somewhat grin.

"Yeah, I heard he murdered everyone in the district before used some sort of genjutsu to torture his little brother." Kiba spoke shivering at the last part.

Itachi's eyes widen as his heart began to thump faster as he continued to listened to them.

"Really? How awful." Sakura said solemnly.

"Yeah it was. I just wished there was something we could do for him." Ino said sadly.

"Depressing isn't it." came Naruto's voice behind him as the memory faded. Itachi turned to him with tears building in his eyes, not sure what to believe. Naruto looked at him before closing his eyes. "As I said before, once you reached the end, everything will be explained. Till then, I will not answer any of your questions." He could only nod numbly as he followed Naruto through the next door, not really paying attention as they were just more of the first year academy and how all the kids treated him like dirt.

He watched the rest of the academy memories and closely observed Sasuke who seemed to change from the happy, yet slightly sad boy he knew to a cold, stoic avenger hell bent on revenge. He cringed at this and couldn't help but feel partially responsible for it, even though these events hadn't even happened. After a while, he noticed Naruto change his attire to an orange and blue jump suit and could only watch in horror as he wore it proudly. He had no clue why, but it did make sense as Kyuubi was reddish-orange but still, the thing said 'Kill me! I'm over here!'.

A little bit later after getting over Naruto's choice of clothes, he noticed the treatment that the other students gave Naruto and could only feel slightly angry at them, but was glad that at least the Inuzaku, Nara and Akimichi heirs treat him like friends and even Sasuke did to some existent. Though nothing good came out verbally, just mainly insults thrown at each other. What was confusing was that the two seemed to enjoy it when they argued, though it was always interrupted by Ino and Sakura who would reprimand him for calling Sasuke a teme and Sakura even punched him with abnormal strength, making Itachi wonder if she was related to Tsunade somehow.

Itachi saw Naruto fail two early exams set up by Mizuki just to get rid of Naruto or to discourage him from becoming a shinobi. He scowled at that and reminded himself to give the chunin a piece of his mind and fist, completely forgetting that he was watching future events. Afterwards, Naruto would always be depressed that he failed and always ended up on top of the Yondaime's head, though how he did it was mind boggling as he somehow managed to use the tree walking exercise without knowing he was doing it.

After this, the next memory had Itachi laughing his ass off as he watched Naruto painted the Hokage monument and out run a horde of Anbu trying to catch him. What had him laughing even harder was that Iruka, a chunin was the one that caught him. He knew that Iruka was a good prankster back in his days, but it was hilarious to watch him catch him when Anbu, Konoha's best, could not.

Not to much longer, he watch Naruto fail the official gennin test and could help but be saddened by it as all he had to do was create two Bunshin. Well, he did, but they were knocked out and kind of sickly. That got him thinking on how to help him with it when he watched him swinging sadly on the swing before Mizuki came up and offered him a special test.

Itachi narrowed his eyes at this and watched as he convinced Naruto to steal the forbidden scroll. He tried his best not to laugh at the way he did it as he easily bypass all the security in the tower and knocked the Hokage out with the his ultimate jutsu, Oiroke no jutsu. After he successfully made his way out with it, he head to the forest making Itachi wonder why they didn't graduate him. I mean wouldn't you wonder how a twelve year old boy, not even a shinobi managed to infiltrate one of the most guarded buildings in Konoha and easily steal one of the most important scrolls in the entire village, only being surpassed by the Hiraishin scroll guarded by the Yondaime seals in his home, and managed to get out unseen after knocking out the Hokage.

Getting over that, he watched Naruto practice heavily, just to learn the first jutsu on the list, Kage Bunshin no jutsu. Itachi was impressed, but wouldn't admit it as he watch Naruto work at it till he managed to make two perfect clones of himself that last for a few minutes. A few minutes later, Iruka came into the picture and asked him what was going on, only for him to push Naruto out of the way of a fuuma shuriken. Itachi narrowed his eyes as he saw Mizuki smirking at the two.

After a brief pause, Mizuki revealed to Naruto that he was the Kyuubi jinchuuriki, much to the displeasure of Iruka. He threw another fuuma shuriken at him and Iruka jumped in the way taking the blow. After a few heart warming words from the chunin teacher, he watched Naruto run off deeper into the forest and was forced to follow him. A few minutes later, he was heard sounds of fighting nearby and checked it out only to hear Iruka say he has deep respect for Naruto.

He noticed Naruto crying heavily before Mizuki charged Iruka. Within seconds, Naruto was in front of Iruka and kicked Mizuki in the chin, sending the fuuma shuriken through the trees harmlessly. His jaw dropped as he watched Naruto create a hundred Kage Bunshins before they pummeled the poor, unsuspecting chunin. Once Iruka recovered from his light blood loss, he told Naruto to close his eyes before talking his hitai-ate off and tying it on Naruto's head. Itachi couldn't help but smile as he watched Naruto glomp Iruka.

The next memory was his team assignments. He watched Naruto get criticized for being there as he didn't pass, only for him to proudly point at his head band. He watched him sit down besides Sasuke before he was screamed at by Ino and Sakura to get out of the chair and was violently pushed off. Itachi fell on his ass laughing as both Naruto and Sasuke's lips met, much to their horror. The older Naruto couldn't help but glare at the laughing Uchiha and was about to pull out a Hiraishin Kunai and give him a Rasengan Sennen Goroshi when Itachi recomposed himself.

Itachi watched him be put on a team with Sasuke and Sakura. He was somewhat glad he was put on his otouto's team, but for some reason he had a feeling that Sakura was going to be a problem later on. After waiting for three hours, Itachi's eyes widen in horror as he realized who their jounin sensei was going to be just before Kakashi walked into the room, getting hit by a eraser.

They introduced themselves and Itachi couldn't help but notice that Naruto forced his and that Sasuke's was completely revolved around killing him. He couldn't help but feel sorry for his little brother, but he also believed that he needed to get his priorities in line. He knew unless Sasuke got an ungodly amount of power within a sort time span, it would at least take eight maybe ten years before he could catch him in skill level from what he saw so far.

He quickly went through the real gennin test, though he couldn't help but laugh as he saw Naruto get hit with Sennen Goroshi, which made elder Naruto grumble something about a Rasengan Sennin Goroshi and an Uchiha. Needless to say he shut up, not wanting to try anything as he was still in Naruto's mind and he was technically god here. They skipped through the boring D-rank missions as they both muttered something about gutting a certain cat like a fish.

Itachi watched curiously as they went on their first C-rank mission, guarding a drunken bridge builder known as Tazuna to the wave. They ran into the Demon Brothers and watch his otouto step up as Naruto froze. He couldn't help but scowl at that, but he knew it was a somewhat reasonable response as gennin weren't suppose to have to face shinobi in the missions they take. After watching Naruto making his vow and stabbing his hand to drain the poison, they went on after bandaging his hand of course.

The next thing that happened surprised him. He was not expecting, Momochi Zabuza to appear. He was expecting a B-rank jounin, not an A, nearing S-rank nukenin, as his scratched hitai-ate indicated, that could give a rusted Kakashi a run for his money. Needless to say, that's exactly what happened. Once he'd trapped Kakashi in the water, he sent Mizu Bunshins after them to kill the bridge builder.

Surprisingly, both Naruto and Sasuke used near flawless teamwork and managed to get Kakashi free and he managed to put Zabuza under hypnosis, putting the end to the fight as he watch Zabuza get pinned to the tree. Three senbon pierced his neck looking like they killed him, but with his knowledge of anatomy he instantly recognized that they just put him in a false death. A hunter nin appear and took Zabuza off as Kakashi passed out from chakra exhaustion as his eye took more chakra than what Uchiha's had to use.

Over the next week, he watched team seven in the bridge builder's house and as they learned tree climbing. Itachi had to sweat drop as he saw Naruto not even make it up two steps before falling on his ass. I mean he did unconsciously when he was younger, but apparently when he was trying he had no clue how to do it. He sighed as he watched them train and eat and then train even more before coming to eat dinner. It went like this for a few days till the boy know as Inari came out saying they had no hope. Needless to say he made something in Naruto snap as he snapped back at him before leaving a bowl of ramen half eaten.

After watching him train himself to sleep, Itachi saw him be awaken by a girl in a pink kimono. After there exchange, Itachi smiled at her as she knew the truth about real strength. Then the shocker came, he found out that the girl was a boy. His jaw unhinged itself before landing on the ground as his eyes bulged out in shock, looking somewhat like Naruto at the moment. Older Naruto refrained from laughing as he never thought he would see the day that Uchiha Itachi show this much emotion, not only that but almost mirror something he would do in the same situation.

A few memories later, he found himself at the bridge after watching Naruto save Inari and Tsunami. He watched Naruto make a grand entrance instead of using it as a diversion and face faulted as he began to believe the mask had taken complete control of his brain. Itachi nearly face faulted again as he watched him sneak into the ice mirror prison instead of helping his brother from the outside. Needless to say it was like watching a slaughter as the hunter nin riddled them with senbon.

After a little bit, he noticed his brother activate his Sharingan and things started to look up as he could tell the hunter nin was running low on chakra. In a desperate move, the hunter nin aimed for Naruto and Sasuke took the blow himself. He watched as Sasuke passed out and grew angry, but he watched as Naruto did as well, but much more extreme. He watched as Kyuubi's youki swirled around him and he could sense that everyone on the bridge stopped as this was going on. He saw Naruto glared at the hunter with feral, crimson eyes before within seconds handing his ass to him and broke his mask with a solid punch to the face.

Itachi saw Naruto charge the nin as he stood up to reveal the girl... boy from the earlier memory. Naruto stopped as he recognized her... him and after a short exchange between them as he asked Naruto to kill her... him for making her... him useless. He watched as Naruto rushed him, only for her... him to stop the killing stroke and to watch her... him to use an ice mirror to go somewhere. He recognized the sound of lighting crackling and with the high amount of chakra being used, knew it was Kakashi using Raikiri.

After seeing he missed Zabuza and hit Haku, they had a little skirmish as Sakura wept for the 'dead' Sasuke. He knew his otouto wasn't dead as he could still sense chakra following through him, indicating that he was alive. Itachi watched as Gato arrived and Zabuza shed a tear as Naruto yelled at him for not caring about Haku. Watching Naruto give Zabuza a kunai, he really could say that Zabuza lived up to his name as the Demon of the Mist as he tore through the mercenary army and killed Gato in a way that would make Kyuubi proud.

The mercenaries would have raided the village if the villagers hadn't arrived armed to the teeth with pitch forks and other various tools and Naruto and Kakashi creating a small army of Kage Bunshins, though most of them were Kakashi's. The next few memories were light blue as they were sadness over the deaths of Zabuza and Haku and the fact that Kakashi had basically told them that a ninja's life was to be a tool for their village. Itachi couldn't help but smirk at Naruto's statement and making his own nindo to follow his own path.

Memories afterwards were boring as hell as it was back to D-rank missions as they recovered from their C turned A-rank mission. Though during this time he noticed that Naruto's home life was still bad as the walls outside his apartment were littered with graffiti, though the inside was somewhat cozy, even if a little messy. Not to long after them was the memory of Kakashi saying he nominated them for the chunin exams and Naruto running into Sabaku no Gaara. After a quick evaluation, Itachi could see he was the newest jinchuuriki of the Ichibi no Tanuki.

The first exam of the chunin exams was boring as he knew Ibiki did this every year it was held in Konoha. After watching the gennin drop like flies with a somewhat amused smirk on his face, Naruto yelled at Ibiki on how he never gives up and would become a chunin. His jaw dropped as he noticed almost everyone get their courage back within seconds and Ibiki was forced to pass them all. Though some probably were wishing they didn't when Anko busted through the window. It wasn't that she wasn't good looking, it's just she probably could intimidate him into pretty much anything.

After she toyed with their minds a bit at the edge of the forest of death, she gave them slips so that Konoha couldn't be blame for their deaths in this exam. Needless to say he was laughing when a few teams dropped out hearing that. Itachi just watch team seven go through the forest with no trouble after Naruto pissed on an unsuspecting Ame nin. As the way it looked, it seemed they would breeze through till he noticed a large chakra signature in front of them.

Itachi narrowed his eyes at this as it was even larger than his and watched Naruto get blasted away by what seemed to be a Futon: Daitoppa. When Naruto landed, he watched as he got swallowed by a large snake and ended up in the stomach with him. While he watched Naruto trying to figure a way out of the snake, he had to wonder where it came from. No snakes were this large without them beings summons and they never used snake summons during this test, so why now.

Suddenly the insides of the snake was filled up with Kage Bunshins making the snake poof up in smoke as it's stomach exploded. He followed Naruto to find Sakura and Sasuke only to find them petrified in fear of a woman, that felt somewhat... snakeish? Itachi saw Sasuke throw their scroll at him, only for Naruto to intercept and call him a scaredy cat. Soon after the woman summon a large snake making him narrow his eyes. Only two people could summon snakes and he knew this wasn't Anko.

He watched Naruto amazingly stop the snake with pure strength with his youki enhanced muscles. Itachi watched the woman, who he was suspecting to be a man, wrap their tongue around him and place Gogyo Fuin over Kyuubi's seal. Everything after that went blank, much to the disappointment of Itachi who was trying to figure out why Orochimaru was there.

The next memories flew by quickly till they found themselves at the preliminaries. Though his eyes widen as he saw the curse seal activate on his otouto and wanted to rip the snake limb from limb for that. After that, all the fights were boring him until Naruto's fight. It was one sided at first as Kiba was trouncing him, but Naruto kept getting back up and wearing the Inuzaku heir down little by little with his tricks. Itachi was slightly impressed that Naruto was actually that smart in battle, and was trying to figure out why he couldn't translate it to real life. In the end though, Itachi was laughing his ass off as Naruto farted in Kiba's face before using Kage Bunshin to use a kick combo that kind of looked like he copied it from Sasuke, which was even more laughable as he copied a copy cat.

The fight between the Hyuuga heir and her older cousin was slightly interesting, though one sided and the way he attacked her at the end of the fight rose a strong reaction from Naruto. The next fight to catch his attention was Gaara versus Rock Lee. Itachi's had his jaw hit the floor as he kept alternating between Gai and Lee as he watched the fight thinking how in the hell Gai made Lee into a force to be reckon with. In the end it didn't matter as Gaara crushed his right leg and arm.

After watching the quickest fight of the preliminaries, he tuned out the Hokage as he already knew what he was going to say and watched the unfolding of the fights for the finals. After seeing them, he was slightly worried for Sasuke, but was really worried for Naruto. Sure, Sasuke was going up against a jinchuuriki, but Naruto was going up against a branch house prodigy. The differences in skill were off the chart and if he was betting, he would put all his money on Neji while giving Sasuke a good shot at beating Gaara.

Itachi was slightly pissed when Kakashi gave Naruto to Ebisu without even giving him a tips on how to beat a Hyuuga. He wasn't sure how good Ebisu was now, but he doubted that he knew how to defeat the prodigy and kind of doubted that he could beat him himself. Though after an elongated chase in which Ebisu won, Naruto allowed him to teach him.

Ebisu took him to the hot springs and the onsen to teach him water walking. That didn't last long when Naruto noticed Jiraiya peeping at the ladies onsen. Itachi couldn't help but sigh as things just never seemed to change as a large toad knocked Ebisu out and Jiraiya introduced himself to Naruto. After a long an very confusing side track, Naruto managed to convince Jiraiya to train him. The way he did it though had Itachi twitching up a storm and cussing out whatever deity allowed him to event such a jutsu.

During their training Jiraiya had released the Gogyo Fuin on top of his seal and taught Naruto water walking before how to summon. Itachi just twitched as everyday, Naruto could only summon a tadpole and both he and Jiraiya were getting irritated. So after getting clobbered by Sakura by accidentally tripping on her., Jiraiya had thrown him off the cliff much to the shock of Itachi. As they fell he noticed he was back inside Naruto's mind and then in front of Kyuubi's cage. Itachi couldn't help but smirk as Naruto had the gall to threaten Kyuubi to given him some of it's youki. The scene shifted back outside as he did the seals for Kuchiyose.

In an instant, both he and Naruto were standing on top of the biggest damn toad he had ever seen. Itachi paled when he realized he was standing on Gamabunta's head and was praying that this went well. In the end, Naruto passed out from trying to convince Bunta to allow him to summon him. After that memories just began to pass by like a blur.

He watched the fight between Naruto and Neji and was surprised that Naruto had somehow pulled out a win, even if he did Kyuubi's youki to do it. After watching the next fights between the Suna girl and the lazy Nara and his otouto handily beat Gaara using Kakashi's personal jutsu, he saw that mostly everyone pass out to a powerful, yet somewhat simple genjutsu, including Naruto. So the memory ended their, leaving a slightly irked Uchiha prodigy.

Going through the next door, he saw Kakashi order Naruto and Sakura to wake anyone they could up and follow Sasuke who chased after Gaara. Everything pass by quickly and they arrived to see Sasuke with the curse seal activated gritting his teeth as a partial transformed Gaara lunged at him, only for Sakura to jump in the way and be pinned to a tree. Going into protective mode, Naruto took Sasuke's place and fought Gaara to his full strength and even called out Gamabunta to help him. In the end, it came down to a well placed head but and a show down between two jinchuuriki which ended in Naruto's victory.

Itachi smiled as Naruto pierced through Gaara's mental barrier with is speech before Sasuke jumped down to help him get back. The memory end as Naruto passed out. The memories afterwards passed by as a blur till Naruto was dragged along with the perverted sannin to find the worse gambler in the world, Tsunade. At the first town, which was the town they passed through earlier today, Jiraiya got side tracked by a women blinking at him and left Naruto in the room alone.

It wasn't that way for long as a knock was heard on the door. When Naruto answered it, Itachi was shocked to see himself standing at the door with a shinobi he knew to be Hoshigaki Kisame. Seeing himself trying to get Naruto to come with him without any trouble, Sasuke arrived and to his horror, he watched himself easily counter and then torture his otouto as if he didn't care about him. Just as the uncaring Itachi finished torturing Sasuke, Jiraiya arrived on the scene and forced both Kisame and himself to run.

He was to stunned to recall the next memories but then he watched Naruto working tirelessly on one of the Yondaime's signature jutsus, the Rasengan. Itachi paled remembering the threat of the Rasengan Sennen Goroshi and slowly moved away from the elder Naruto. He watched him master the first two steps and meeting Tsunade. After a quick and one sided fight with her, he watched Naruto make a bet with her before passing out once more.

Over the next week, Itachi watched Naruto try and master the final step of the Rasengan while noticing Jiraiya, Shizune and even Tsunade coming in to check up on him, seeing if he made any progress. On the last day of training, somehow, someway Naruto managed to complete the Rasengan before passing out from exhaustion as he pushed himself to the limit.

The next memory was the fight between him and Kabuto as a poisoned Jiraiya tried to take on an armless Orochimaru, which if the situation wasn't dire, he would have thought to be humorous. In a titanic struggle, Naruto managed to save Tsunade by taking a strike to the heart before delivering a fully developed Rasengan to Kabuto's stomach before passing out, much to the dismay of the Uchiha prodigy, wanting to see the three Sannin fight.

Unfortunately for him, he didn't get the opportunity as he was forced to watch the trip to Konoha, though slightly amusing to see Jiraiya get bashed around, wasn't as exciting as watching the three have a showdown like they said happened. The memories blurred by as they didn't seem to be of any importance, till he found themselves on a hospital roof, looking at both Naruto and Sasuke as they stared each other down.

The fight was completely even as Sasuke's Sharingan tried to dominate Naruto's Kage Bunshins. After unleashing a devastating Gokakyu, the fire died down to show Naruto forming a Rasengan. In response he saw Sasuke use Chidori and watched the two lunge each other as Sakura raced to stop them. If Kakashi hadn't pick that time to intervene, they would be mourning the lose of Sakura as the two attacks would have hit her. He watched Kakashi reprimand Naruto and didn't even bat an eyelash at Sasuke, making his blood boil as Naruto wasn't the only one using a dangerous jutsu.

Apparently he wasn't the only who thought so as Jiraiya was there, but didn't say anything other than listen to Kakashi reprimand him for teaching him a jutsu Naruto wasn't ready for. That statement had irked Itachi to no end as he could say the same for his otouto as he taught him Chidori. After the memory ended, Itachi walked up to the next before his eyes widen seeing a door mix evenly with black, dark blue, light blue and red.

Itachi cringed as Naruto looked at him before opening the door. He saw the lazy Nara heir wearing a chunin vest tell him that Sasuke had left the village on his on free will. At this Itachi paled as he watched Naruto and Shikamaru get Chouji, Kiba and Neji and dismissed Sakura as she would only slow them down. When they did this, she grabbed onto Naruto and beg for him to return Sasuke. It was at that moment Itachi saw Naruto's blue eyes become lifeless for a brief second before nodding and giving her the 'Good Guy' pose and promising her he would.

He looked over at the older Naruto and noticed his eyes were closed as if he didn't want to relive that memory. He wonder why as he watched the group run into the Sound Four and separate as each of the gennin squared of against one of them. It was down to the red haired girl carrying what he felt to be Sasuke's crate against Naruto and Shikamaru when a teen with white hair took the barrel from her and took off. After the Nara convince Naruto to chase after him, Itachi found himself in a clearing with Naruto glaring at the white haired boy with youki flowing into his system.

Itachi's eyes widen as he saw him pull bones out of his skin and realized this was one of the Kaguya clan. He watched Naruto's clones get massacred by the Kaguya as the barrel exploded with malicious chakra and Sasuke stepped out of it, not looking like himself anymore. With a quick look he rushed off leaving Naruto against the Kaguya. Itachi gritted his teeth as he watched this and saw Lee take Naruto's place, allowing him to go after Sasuke.

Once he reached Sasuke, they exchange a few words, mostly Naruto trying to convince Sasuke to return home. The two began to fight as they did the memory of the roof top. The two battle and used the Rasengan and Chidori against each other once more. The two attacks canceled each other out as both looked somewhat tired after that. That when Sasuke took an early advantage by using the curse seal and wiped the floor with Naruto before calling it back as their was no more need to use it. In a moment that horrified him, he watched his younger brother stab Naruto in his right shoulder with Chidori, just missing the heart as Naruto managed to move out of the way.

That's when shit hit the fan and Naruto counter attacked in his Kyuubified state. He honestly couldn't feel sorry for his brother as Naruto was man handling him. Then he noticed Sasuke's Sharingan advance and the tides turned once again. With the matured Sharingan, he watched Sasuke managed to regain control of the battle till the end were Naruto threw him into the cliff using a Kage Bunshin whip. That's when his brother counter with Ryuka and burned all the clones to a crisp.

Both he and Sasuke widened their eyes as they saw the one closes to him was actually the real Naruto that looked up at Sasuke with a lifeless look in his eyes. Sasuke grabbed Naruto and yelled at him to give up before throwing him off the cliff and aerial piledrived Naruto's head into the ground before throwing his lifeless body in the water. Itachi was slightly surprised at this as he was sure the memory would end here as Naruto was out and barely alive when something happened scaring even him.

Red youki leaked out of Naruto and started surrounding him before punching Sasuke with monstrous strength. As Sasuke was recovering, Itachi took a step back as he looked at Naruto who had red youki around him in the shape of a fox with one tail. Within a minute the fight had turned into a beating as Sasuke couldn't even scratch Naruto in this form before he activate the second stage of his curse seal. Itachi paled as he saw this and his brother looked like a monster with human like hands for wings.

The two combatants stared at each other before Sasuke spoke about this being a fitting place for their battle. After he finished, both charged up their most powerful attacks and glided towards each other before the Chidori and Rasengan met. In a brilliant and slightly frighten show of light, the two struggled for dominance. As they did so Sasuke sent his other hand into Naruto chest, trying to kill him, but held back as he couldn't do it while Naruto only scratched his hitai-ate before the two attacks gave out and he passed out.

The memories after this seemed to go by quickly. Itachi only registered that Naruto was going on a trip with Jiraiya to train for two and a half years and that both he and Sakura promised that they would bring Sasuke back together. Itachi couldn't help but dislike the girl. Something in her eyes just threw him off and he didn't like it.

He watched Naruto and Jiraiya leave the village and the quick start out on their training trip. Needless to say, Itachi was slightly pissed at Jiraiya's lack of training as he watched the three years blur by. I mean almost all the training was Naruto himself as Jiraiya only would come by and teach him a thing or two about sealing or taught him to draw out more of Kyuubi's youki. In an attempt to bring more out, Jiraiya tried to unlock the seal with the key that Minato left behind but failed miserably as Naruto instead went berserk with four tails of youki.

In a stunning performance, Itachi got to witness the rare event of the gama-sannin using his legendary sage mode to defend himself from the crazed Naruto and still was getting his ass handed to him. In the end, Naruto passed out as Kyuubi's youki had taken it's toll on him and left him in a bloodied mess. The last thing he saw was Jiraiya summon Bunta to get them to a hospital before the memory faded.

After that, the training went back to what it usually did, Naruto training himself while Jiraiya would pop in to give a hint or two. It lasted this way throughout the rest of his training memories till they returned to Konoha. After that, Naruto started skipping doors, much to Itachi's confusion. Seeing it, Naruto answered him. "As much as I want to show you the rest of them, I grow tired, so I will just show you the reason for the way I look as I do know."

Itachi nodded as he was getting tired himself after watching Naruto's roller coaster that he called life. As they reached the last few doors, he noticed something about them that he didn't like. They were pitch black with some yellow in them. Naruto closed his eyes before opening the door and pushing the Uchiha prodigy inside.

Once inside, Itachi found himself surrounded by ruins of a village. He instantly turned around as he felt a massive output of youki and killer intent and saw Naruto with eight tails waving around him and a girl a little younger than he was with green youki surrounding her in the shape of a dog with five tails. His eyes widen seeing this and looked around and realized where he was. "This is... Konoha."

"It is. Now watch." Came from the Naruto besides him as a hundred battered Konoha shinobi arrived to see the devastation. In front was Tsunade and Sakura, wearing the symbol that signified her as the Hokage. Itachi narrowed his eyes at this as Tsunade spoke. "W-what h-happened... YOU!" She said pointed at Naruto with hatred rolling off her in waves. The Uchiha tried not to back down, but even he was afraid of the killing intent that the slug sannin was pouring out at the Kyuubified Naruto.

The girl besides him growled at her. "Is that all you can say?!" Itachi wasn't sure what was going on, but from what he saw, Tsunade treated Naruto as a brother and possibly a son from what he had seen. Tsunade narrowed her eyes at the jinchuuriki as Sakura stepped up. "What else can she say. He is a monster after all." Itachi narrowed his eyes at the pink haired girl and wished the him that torture Sasuke would pop out and do the same to her. As he was thinking this, Tsunade spoke venomously as she glared at Naruto.

"Did you actually think I care for you? I nearly vomited every time I saw you! You who reminded me of me decease otouto and my past lover! I couldn't stand being around you! I only came with you as Shizune forced me to! I was glad when Jiraiya died as I didn't have to fake liking you any more as I didn't have worry about him! I was glad when Sakura executed Shizune and all your friends for helping you as it finally got her off my back! And you know what! That necklace you were is a fake! Did you think I would give you the real one! HA!"

With each word she spoke, Itachi trembled as his Sharingan span wildly and his opinion of the slug sannin was thrown out the window. If you looked directly at his eyes, you could see that the tomoe were slowly swirling into each other beginning to form the Mangekyou. As he shook with rage, he saw Naruto doing the same as he slowly stood and could vacantly see a ninth tail being made as Naruto spoke.

"So. It was all a lie then!" The red youki began swirling around him madly as he glared at the women in front of him before letting out an earth shattering roar. Suddenly Naruto and the girl disappeared from sight and started slaughtering the remaining shinobi until only around twenty remained. The major ones being Tsunade, Sakura and unknown blonde haired girl from Kumogakure as her hitai-ate signified.

Itachi could barely hold in the vomit willing it's way up as he looked at the dismembered and disemboweled bodies that was left of Naruto and the girls attack. As he was refraining from doing so, a large number of shinobi from Iwa, Suna and Konoha, though their head bands all had scratches through them, surrounded the three shinobi. Suddenly Naruto spoke maliciously. "Imprison the rest. Leaves these two for me."

He saw Kakashi and a few others from other villages nod as they used chakra chains to keep them from resisting. Once they were out of the way, Naruto glared at the two women before letting out another earth shattering roar before disappearing. Even with his Sharingan, he couldn't keep up with Naruto's movements and watch as Tsunade barely could but was torn to shreds within seconds. The pink hair girl was in shock as she saw this and suddenly had the clawed hand of Naruto holding her throat.

"This is for ruining my life bitch." With that said, Itachi closed his eyes as he heard her head be ripped off her shoulders before being sliced in two. After a few moments, he felt the youki beginning to drained and opened his eyes to see Naruto walking away as the ex-Konoha shinobi started rebuilding the town with the help of the Suna and Iwa shinobi.

After this he watched the girl from earlier, who he called Keisha, talk to him for a little bit before admitting her feelings for him over the course of the war. Itachi was slightly stunned at this and even more so at Naruto's response saying he felt the same for awhile. He suddenly found himself in an awkward position as the two started to kiss and it turned into a make out session. He was about to turn to Naruto to tell him to stop it when he heard movement behind them.

He turned around and noticed two people wearing the same cloaks he and Kisame were wearing earlier. He looked confused as to who they were and noticed both Naruto and Keisha growling at them. As the four fought, the Naruto besides Itachi spoke. "They are from Akatsuki. There goal is to collect the bijuu so they can rule the world. They say they are doing it for world peace, but what they say and what they do don't match. These two are the subordinates to the true leader, Uchiha Madara, who I killed in a memory I do not want to show to anyone. The auburn haired man is known as Pein, the man who killed Jiraiya."

This had Itachi's eyes widen to an extreme extent before Naruto continued. "The other is Konan. She's been with him since they were children and I'm pretty sure they are lovers." He nodded as he watched the fight and was stunned that he had a Mangekyou Sharingan in his right eye. Even with it though, he could tell Naruto was almost finished with Pein, but the girl was struggling as Konan kept her off balance till the rain started. In a desperate move, Pein lunged out and stabbed Keisha in the heart. Naruto rage consumed him as the ninth and final tail grew and ripped the auburn haired man to pieces before he could counter. The same went for his partner as she became a sickening goo.

Itachi watched as Naruto walked besides a dying Keisha as shinobi from nearby began to arrive. Suddenly, he could her the fox began to tell Naruto of a way to save her and change everything that had happened. Itachi's eyes widen as he continued on how to do the ritual to travel back in time. He watched as Naruto did everything Kyuubi had told him. Suddenly both were covered in their respective tenants youki until it started to morph into a blackish color and then into a ball before becoming a dark flash of light.

Suddenly, he found himself outside in the hall with Naruto. After recomposing himself, Itachi spoke. "Was... t-that the future?" Naruto shook his head. "No. That was just a possible future through my eyes. I didn't show you other things as it was best for you not to know everything and the fact that I am growing tired." Itachi nodded as his second question was answered as well. Then a disturbing thought popped up.

"Did I really kill... my clan?" Naruto only nodded his head in response at him. Itachi looked down in shame at this. Naruto noticed this and spoke. "Do not think of yourself like the one from my time. You have seen what you can become, so you must work not to become it." Itachi looked up at Naruto and spoke. "But how? you just.."

"That was just one way you can turn out. If you don't want to turn out like that, you can change it. It's that simple. It's just up to you to do it." Itachi nodded numbly at that before looking at Naruto softly. "How did you managed to get through all that and managed to stay sane." Naruto raised an eyebrow at him. "You think I'm sane." Itachi just stepped back as Naruto felt like strangling him. "You think you'd be sane from going through all that?! You only got a glimpse of it and didn't have to feel the pain!"

Itachi winced at that and knew it was true. "You right, I wouldn't be." Naruto sighed at him. "Sorry, I kind of carried away there. But it is the truth." Itachi nodded at him before looking at him. "I think I need some sleep... this is a lot to digest." Naruto nodded at him as Itachi faded from his mind. Once he was back outside in the real world, everything became a blur for him till he went into his tent. He sat down and thought about everything he had seen in his mind before laying down to get some sleep.
