Prologue
Disclaimer: I wish I owned Naruto, mostly because I don't. (der!)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sunshine illuminated the village of Konaha as residents of the village began finishing their daily duties. Near the Academy for Ninja in Training, a small apartment complex stood. In one of its small rooms was a little seven year old boy named Naruto who was practicing his signs.
"Um, Tiger, Snake, Monkey, and…uh Platypus? Poopie, I don't know them. This learning stuff is too hard. Maybe if I go take a walk I can do this better," said Naruto before putting his book on his futon and walking out the door.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In a secluded area of Konaha, two ninja dressed in ANBU uniforms entered a grey and black building. Inside, other ninja clothed in attire similar to the two entering were doing their daily business, whether it be finalizing missions or receiving them. The two who had just arrived walked into an office away from the commotion. Inside of the office, a ninja dressed in robes with an ANBU insignia on it greeted the two entering.
"How did the mission to the Land of The Bears go, Kakashi and Itachi?" questioned the leader of the ANBU Black Ops.
"It went without a hitch Soen, sir," replied Kakashi, head bowed in the presence of his superior.
"We've the report right here, sir. All of the needed information has been recorded," said Itachi before placing a report on Soen's desk.
"You are dismissed, Kakashi and Itachi. Take today and tomorrow off, you deserve it.
With that said the non-verbal Kakashi and Itachi parted ways and went two respective ways. Itachi rubbed his temples as a previous migraine of his began to come back on.
"Damn it, just when I thought it went away," mumbled Itachi before turning another corner leading to the Uchiha Compound, his home.
Over time, Itachi had somewhat grown away from his family and friends, becoming darker and edgier as he killed more and more in the ANBU corps. When he neared the lake in front of the Uchiha Complex, he saw two friends of his that he had associated with since his days in the academy, Shisui Uchiha and Hana Inuzuka. They both attempted in greet Itachi but all they got was a snarl when he walked right past them.
"Ya' know, Hana, I think Itachi's really changed," said Shisui. "I don't think it's for the best, though."
"I know what you mean Shisui," began Hana while circling her finger in the lake water, "But there's always the chance he'll change."
Itachi slowly walked into the grounds of his ancestors and approached his home. An aura that said back off or I'll kill you emitted from Itachi, scaring off the little Uchiha children running around mindlessly and even urged some others to retreat to their own homes. This all ceased once he entered his home. Inside, he was immediately greeted by his little brother Sasuke, whom he thought of ass very persistent and annoying.
"Itachi, will you teach me something new today, or maybe we could go practice throwing shuriken.." went on Sasuke for minutes while fixating his attention on Itachi, who, frankly, paid no heed.
"Bug off," bluntly stated Itachi before leaving a sad Sasuke sitting on the floor of their home.
He retreated to his room and locked the door, wanting to have privacy. Quickly, in routine form, Itachi stabbed his katana into his floor where similar markings were and tossed his vest against a wall before sitting on his floor rubbing his temples once again. Soon, he passed out on the floor and went into a deep trance.
"I see that you want power, Itachi. I have that, though, there is only one way to obtain it."
"Huh, what, where am I and who the hell are you?" yelled Itachi while turning around in circles, surrounded by a shady aura of darkness.
"You'll find out in time, Uchiha Itachi," cackled the mysterious voice before becoming dead silent.
Itachi stood alone in the darkness before feeling a sharp pain hit his body. Right away, he opened his eyes and found himself lying against the cold floor in his room. Immediately, he noticed the luminescent glow of the moon's rays shining through his window.
"How long was I out?" wondered Itachi before standing up and looking around.
"I'd say about three hours," spoke a cold voice which froze Itachi in place.
"W-who's in here?" asked Itachi while sliding over to his katana.
"Why, I thought you could recognize your own voice. Kukuku," chuckled the voice.
Moments later, an exact replica of Itachi walked out of the shadows of his room and stared coldly at his counterpart. He stared menacingly as if he had some crazy idea on his mind.
"You did this Itachi; I'm some kind of product of the fusion of a hibernating sense of rage and the unlimited possibilities of the sharingan. For the creation of I, I salute you," thanked the evil Itachi before actually saluting and disappearing in a whirlwind of leaves.
"Wait, no, he took my katana. Who knows what plans he has in store. I have to stop that crazy son of a bitch before something horrible goes down."
With that said, Itachi leapt out of his window to confront this problem. Little did he know, his little brother, Sasuke, had watched the whole thing through a crack in the door.
"I have to help big brother. I just gotta do something to help," told the young Uchiha to himself before grabbing his wooden kendo sword and slipping out of the house quietly.
Itachi has lost track of himself and frankly, it pissed him off a lot. On the other side of the entire compound, evil Itachi neared the Sacred Lake of The Uchihas to find his best friend, Uchiha Shisui so he could murder him. He approached his target slowly with a firm grip on the hilt of his katana blade.
"Hey Itachi! It's kind of odd seeing you out here at this time of night. Usually you're somewhere else working on a mission on something like that," yelled Shisui over to Itachi while laying on the pier gazing at the night sky above.
"Ah, it's good to see you too, Shisui," replied the malign Itachi, a fake grin plastered all over his face.
Meanwhile, the other Itachi finally neared the lake and spotted who he was looking for inches from his best friend. He then realized what was being sought, the Mangekyo Sharingan. On the pier, the other Itachi kneeled right next to Shisui and began to whisper.
"Hey, Shisui, have you ever wondered what kind of experience death was?" asked the malign Itachi, grasping his katana even harder.
"Nope, Itachi, and I don't think I ever want to wonder what that's like for a very long time."
"Shisui…you might want to rethink that," calmly said the evil Itachi before unsheathing the katana at a blinding speed and stabbing it right through Shisui's heart.
"I-itachi, w-w-why..." were all the words Shisui let out before closing his eyes.
The good Itachi witnessed the death of his best friend and felt an odd surge of fury go through his body. He then rushed towards his polar opposite.
"You son of a bitch, you will pay for what you did. Dragon, ram, ox, tiger, Fire Release: Supreme Fireball no jutsu! Die!" screamed Itachi before launching a huge ball of fire.
The ball of flame hit right in front of evil Itachi and a huge explosion occurred. The smoke cleared quickly to reveal a decimated patch of land and what remained of the lake. Itachi looked around, wanting to know if he dispatched his enemy. Suddenly, the prey became the predator as evil Itachi appeared behind his good half and began to monologue.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Yummy Ramen, thank you mister," shouted Naruto before putting out some Ryo and walking away.
"That Naruto, he has a serious addiction to my ramen," said the Ichiraku Ramen owner, Teuchi to himself while watching the short six year old scurry away into a random part of town.
Naruto was rubbing his hands together to try to heat himself up while walking back to his little apartment room on the other side of town. He constantly looked at the large moon above him, wondering if a man really lived up there like he heard some kids saying. Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks once he witnessed a huge explosion of fire go down not too far away.
"Wow, fire! That'll make me…um…not cold!" proclaimed a now ecstatic Naruto before suddenly taking off at full speed towards the area.
He leaped a fence that blocked him from his target and saw two people that looked the same in every way. Naruto believed they knew where he could find a potty and some kind of heat source, so, he casually walked over to them.
"And that Itachi is the complete back story behind your madness and my current goal to wipe out this clan from existence," stated the evil Itachi.
"I feel oddly enlightened…"
The malignant Itachi then paused as he felt a poke on his left ankle, "Huh? What? Who's touching me?"
"That'd be me. My name's Naruto Uzumaki, the next great Hokage! But, let's get down to business; I want to know where I can find a potty and some kind of hot thing to make me feel better."
"Stupid runt, I'll just kill you now," began Itachi's demented side before holding his blade to Naruto's neck.
Albeit, Naruto pushed the blade away and put on an annoyed expression before wising off right back at the vicious murderer in front of him.
"Okay, cut the doody, mister. I'm getting pretty cold and I want to go home. Please just help me out here."
Just as Itachi number two was about to behead Naruto, he felt another hit to his body but on his other leg. When he turned around, his grip on Itachi one loosened, allowing him to break away and fight once again.
"It seems it was Sasuke trying to beat me with a kendo stick. Not a bright decision, but what do I care. He's just another midget to kill along with you," reckoned Itachi the bad, "I'll just end this right now. Mangekyo Sharingan."
Suddenly, an odd red flash enveloped his eyes until it stopped, revealing a kaleidoscope design in both with three tomoe in three separate sections of a circle, replacing his pupils.
"With my new powers, I will destroy you."
'Shit, we're stuck. I think I've got two options, actually. There's, stand my ground and die or use s the back up jutsu ANBU taught us for escape purposes only. I guess that fits the bill then.'
"What's wrong Itachi? Feel intimidated?"
"Nope, just formulating a plan to get away from here and I may just have it!" shouted Itachi while ushering Naruto and Sasuke to stand in a close radius to him.
"Shame on you Itachi…kukuku," began evil Itachi. "Just taking off and leaving your fellow clan members to die."
"I want my mommy!" cried out Sasuke while getting seriously scared at the situation.
"Well, I want my ramen!" pouted Naruto while looking around.
The good Itachi began to ponder whether or not to use his Plan B jutsu, or whether to stay and try to fight. He stood in place until he heard a raspy voice call out to him.
"Itachi, p-please, go. I n-now see you didn't mean for this to happen. I'm sure the clan c-can stop h-him," slowly let out a surprisingly still alive Shisui before coughing up piles of blood and finally dying.
"Goodbye Shisui, goodbye Uchiha Clan. I will always remember you. Ninja Art: Final Circumvention no jutsu!"
In desperation, Itachi pulled off the technique, transporting he, Sasuke, and Naruto to a faraway location. Evil Itachi watched as his twin being disappeared in a flash of light. He just smirked and walked over to Shisui and kicked him off of the pier. Shisui's body floated to the bottom of the lake, a trail of blood following him as he descended into an impending darkness.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Itachi awoke only to have grains of sand fly into his eyes. He brushed it out and looked around to find Sasuke balled up on the ground, a pile of sand forming on him and Naruto building a sand castle a few feet away.
"Naruto? Is that you?"
"Yep, Itachi, it's me. Oh and don't worry, I don't have to use a potty anymore. You and that other guys neglecting of my needs led me here, a vast land of life for me to pee on," said Naruto while putting a stick in his sand castle.
"Um, okay, you seem to have been awake for a while. Have you seen some type of gate, entrance, or any sign of human life around here?
"Nope, cant say I have, but I do think we should get our butts up and move," uttered Naruto before finishing his sand castle.
"Why do we need to move so quickly? Sasuke isn't even awake yet."
"Well, I'd say the big sand thing over there is a good enough reason," said Naruto while pointing west.
Itachi widened his eyes and called Naruto over and told him to duck and cover. He then did just that and embraced for impact.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sasuke opened his eyes after being out of it for quite a while, only to find himself in a hospital bed. Nervously, he looked around and soon found Naruto, who was fast asleep. Suddenly, a voice spoke up next to him.
"Hey Sasuke, I see you're finally awake. You've been out for quite a while," spoke Itachi, who was sitting in a chair near Sasuke's bed.
"Where are we? Where are mommy and daddy? Where's my t-"
"Oh, sweet, sweet, ramen, you make my heart go wild," blurted out Naruto while dreaming, interrupting Sasuke's rant.
"Listen, Sasuke, we're a long way from home. Speaking of home….it's gone, forever."
Sasuke and Itachi talked for a while until Naruto woke up from his deep slumber. This prompted Itachi to get a nurse to clear them out, because they all had minor to no injuries. Moments later, they were all outside of a hospital in Sunagakure with no idea where to go. Itachi, with a looming Sasuke, looked around the whole village while Naruto ran around in circles, practicing catch phrases.
"Hm, disown it! No, that doesn't sound good. Erm, show me the ryo! Dang it, that is not right either. How about, By the Power of Greyskull! Wait, what the heck was that? I guess I'll just settle with Believe It!"
"Naruto, quiet down, please. Just sit down or something," said Itachi.
Naruto did as he was told and sat on the ground next to a gloomy looking kid with red hair holding a teddy bear.
"Sweet teddy bear," complimented Naruto while attempting to talk to the boy.
