"Demon talking"

'Demon Thinking'

-START-

-NAKA RIVER-

He stared after his former best friend, Uchiha Shisui, or SHUNSHIN no Shisui as he was known on the battlefield, as he floated down-river. He could already feel the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan as it formed in his eyes.

'For the sake of this village, you will not be the last...'

He jumped toward the Hokage Mansion, to report a go-ahead on the Uchiha Massacre. It was inevitable. A coup d'etat by the Uchiha Clan and he was the only one who could stop it.

He appears in front of the Hokage, as stoic as any ANBU captain should be, sending chakra to lock his joints in place to prevent fidgeting and to itches that needed to be scratched.

"How goes the mission, itachi?" He said in his serious tone, the one he only uses for high-priority missions such as this.

The weasel-masked ANBU nodded once. "Green-light, Hokage-sama."

His face seemed to soften up after that, if only slightly and a small smile played on his lips.

"Good, are you ready for your next assignment?"

"Anything, Hokage-sama..." 'Please not tonight... I need to adjust to the Mangekyou before the massacre can happen...'

"I need you to guard Naruto Uzumaki."

Itachi's chakra wavered and he flinched. The Jinchuriki that only he, Inu, and Neko truly protected, even trained in secret. They had taught him fuuinjutsu, kenjutsu, and genjutsu.

"Something wrong Itachi?" he asked, slightly worried he wouldn't protect Naruto from the villagers.

"No, sir. I just was hoping it wasn't to bad. The village's hero does not deserve this..."

Sarutobi smirked. "And what do you propose?"

"I wish to either adopt him, train him, or take him with me after the massacre."

"The council will be against all three, but I can give you an audience if you wish..."

He smirked behind his mask. "Hai, Hokage-sama. And I wish for him to be there as well."

"Why of course. If you wish, he is at the apartment I bought him."

"Hai, Hokage-sama." He left via a will-o-wisp shunshin.

"Good luck, Naruto..."

-NARUTO'S APARTMENT-

The apartment was at a 'Y' intersection down the street from Ichiraku Ramen, where Naruto visited frequently.

When he stepped in the door, a small blonde boy assaulted his legs.

"Itachi nii-san!" He screamed as he tried to climb up the experienced ninja's legs.

"Naruto, can I talk to you?"

Despite being only six and a half, Naruto knew it was time to be serious.

He got on one knee and stared at the orange-loving ninja. "Do you want to come with me?"

"Where, nii-san?"

"Well first to the store to get you some clothes and then to the Council Chambers..." his voice trailed when he noticed the boy's sullen expression.

"They don't let me in any stores... And the Council hates me..."

He ruffled Naruto's hair. "Well, they can't do anything when I'm there..." He grabbed Naruto's shoulder and did a ram seal with his free hand, both disappearing from the decrepit building...

-COUNCIL CHAMBERS-

Naruto sat beside Weasel at the end of the table. He was now wearing a black jacket that stopped at his bellybutton with orange on the collar, zipper, cuffs, and bottom with a red spiral on the back over a black t-shirt. His black shinobi pants were held up by a white buckle with an orange clasp. His shoes were shinobi sandals with dark orange attached shin guards and on his hands were black fingerless gloves with guards on the back. And holding his hair out of his face were a pair of orange reflective goggles with black trim. (AN: basically obito's but black instead of blue...) All of his personal stuff was on a fire-proof, 2-foot long matte-black scroll slung behind him.

"What is the meaning of such an urgent meeting? And why is he here?" an old, bandaged man asked, venom dripping from his voice as he glared at Naruto.

Hiruzen scoweled at the lack of formalities his old friend was displaying, and the nods of approval his old teammates were giving the war-hawk. "Well, Danzo, it's because itachi has a proposition for getting Naruto off your hands, freeing up the ANBU that have to guard him 24-7."

Everyone perked up at this. "Please, continue..." Hiruzen said, gesturing with his left hand.

"I wish to train Naruto Uzumaki to defend himself from the mobs that continue to assault him."

"Absolutely NOT!" Hiruzen screamed. Others voiced their approval. "If he's trained, he can kill. If he can kill, he will kill."

"Fine, may I adopt him?"

"No. To allow him into the Uchiha Complex would tarnish their good name. I will NOT allow it."

Weasel was gritting his teeth, trying not to kill Danzo. KI released unintentionally, was beginning to make most people there have a hard time breathing. "May I... take him with me... when I leave...?"

"No. If he were to leave Konoha, other countries might see ours as weak and attack us with their own jinchuriki."

"So... If he stays he will be shunned and beat and you do nothing about it. But you will not give him the luxury of leaving. And when someone asks to help him, you say no?"

"Just not you... You are planning on killing your entire family and becoming a missing nin..."

"BECAUSE KONOHA WILL FALL IF I DON'T!"

Naruto seemed slightly scared at the tone of voice. But itachi looked over and ruffled his hair, instantly lightening up his mood.

BUt when he turned to the crowd and removed his mask, he was glaring at everyone at the same time, Sharingan active.

"This child means more to me than anyone or anything, more than this village and my younger brother combined..."

"What? Your own brother? Are you sure the Kyuubi brat isn't influ-*thump*"

Homura's head slamming the table hid the kunai hilt that was protruding from his left eye.

"He broke a law punishable by death." With that, he grabbed Naruto's collar and shadow-blurred away.

-NEAR UCHIHA COMPLEX NEXT DAY 10pm-

"Nii-chan! NOO!" Naruto tried in vain to stop itachi from doing this. Just three hours ago, he had told Naruto about the coup and he's tried ever since to stop him. "What did they do?"

He turned towards Naruto, tears leaking from under his mask. "Naru-kun... Please... just stop... You're making this harder than it has to be..."

"But Nii-chan... They're your family-"

"And I'm the only one that can stop them. Now, hide here and cover your ears. Do not move from this spot." he said placing Naruto in an alley, just far enough back to be hidden in shadows.

-20 MINUTES LATER-

Covering his ears did nothing to muffle the screams of the dying. From the orange glow on the road, he assumed a fire was happening. People ran past, towards where itachi-nii-chan was.

"Lets go." Naruto jumped but calmed down when he realized it was itachi.

"Where are we going?" he asked as the ANBU captain carried him piggyback.

"Away..."

-RANDOM KONOHA ROOFTOP-

Itachi stopped when he realized they were being watched. "Show yourself." he announced.

A man with a black cloak, black hair that passed his shoulderblades, and a white mask with a black flame pattern and a single eyehole over his right eye appeared.

"So will you join Akatsuki?" he asked, with a voice that seemed to radiate evil. Naruto squirmed in his hold.

"Yes, but only if I can bring him." he said gesturing to Naruto. 'That way I can keep an eye on you, Madara Uchiha...'

'Hmm, Yondaime's son...perfect.' "But of course. Anything if you will join..."

With that, they both shadow-blurred east.

-END-

sorry it's so short, but if I add the next part, I'll have to cut off at some random spot. other chapters will be about 2-2.5k words

When I wrote itachi, i was referring to his ANBU codename.

I keep forgetting to say this but review please. I've seen stories with 100+ reviews and none of mine have over 15. Nibi and Kyuubi has almost 2700 hits and only 13 reviews. Reviews are awesome. Even flames are appreciated as long as you add some constructive criticism in. even one word reviews like awesome or cool...

Next story is Shared Pain a NaruFu
