Hello everyone,
How is everyone doing? To be honest I had a terrible day but leaving work made me feel better because work was a travesty. I hope everyone is doing well.
Pairing: ItaNaruIta
Enjoy the new story.
Naruto stood in front of Tsunade unsure of what to say about the mission she wanted him to go do.
"You want me to do what?" Naruto asked looking at her like she just grew another head.
"It has been brought to our attention that the Akatsuki disbanded now and Itachi was only with them for the third so he could stop them. Now that it is all over I am trying to bring Itachi back home." Tsunade explained.
"What about Sasuke? Didn't he kill his whole clan?" Naruto asked confused on why they would bring him back.
"Sasuke already knows that's why he recommended you to bring him back. He did kill the clan but he did it under the impression that the third wanted him to do it when Danzou set it up so he could get the Sharingan from the dead Uchiha so he could control Konoha and the village heads." Tsunade explained.
"Damn that's fucked up," Naruto mumbled.
"So, are you going to do it?" Tsunade asked.
"Yeah, I guess," Naruto said taking the scroll from her.
Naruto walked out of the room and shimmered to his apartment. Sasuke just happened to be there.
"Sasuke..." Naruto said looking at his best friend who was sitting on his bed.
"So, are you going to take the mission?" Sasuke asked.
"You know I am but why didn't you want to take the mission?" Naruto asked.
"I'm not ready to see him. I appreciate this I really do Naruto." Sasuke said following Naruto to the kitchen.
"Are you sure it's not so you can spend more time with Sakura?" Naruto asked getting a grunt from Sasuke.
"It's not like that Naruto," Sasuke said.
"You know damn well it is so don't be an asshole and lie to me again," Naruto said pulling a few Ramen cups from the shelf.
"What are you doing?" Sasuke asked.
"I am getting my food ready," Naruto said.
"Naruto you know you didn't have to agree with the mission, right?" Sasuke asked.
"Yeah I know but you wouldn't have requested me if you didn't feel like I could get to your brother," Naruto said as they walked into his room. "Not only that but I don't want to see you trying to court Sakura. Just don't get married while I'm away." Naruto said as he packed extra weapons and clothes.
The last thing he did was grab his sword that Sasuke bought for him on his last birthday and the bandana from Sakura so he could hide his hair.
"I won't try to get married while you're away considering you would be my best man," Sasuke said with a small smile.
"Yeah don't try that buddy. You can't butter me up just by saying that." Naruto said as they both jumped out his window.
"You got your map?" Sasuke asked.
"Sasuke I traveled everywhere around the five nations with Jiraiya when I was young. I can literally walk everywhere and know where I am. Locations were practically beat into me." Naruto said with a chuckle but still flashed five different maps to Sasuke.
"So where are you starting?" Sasuke asked.
"Every village in the Fire nation because I have informants here," Naruto said.
"What next?" Sasuke asked.
"I don't know wherever I'm close to," Naruto said.
"You don't even have a plan, do you?" Sasuke asked.
"Jeez, Sasuke have some damn faith I just got the mission, of course, I don't have a plan," Naruto said.
"Sorry, I'm just worried because my brother is known for being a weasel and he slips from detection all the time," Sasuke said.
"Yeah, I get that a lot too," Naruto said as they walked to the gates.
"Keep in contact with me. Let me know when you get to another village and where you're at. I will let you know if I hear of any sightings." Sasuke said as Naruto walked out the village.
"I'm out," Naruto said waving his hand in the air as he left the village for a mission he didn't know how long it would take.
Naruto was relieved in a sense to have this mission because he didn't have to watch his two best friends get together. It wasn't the biggest highlight in the village right now but he didn't want to be around when it was.
It didn't take long for Naruto to get through the Fire Nation. He knew Itachi wasn't there because Itachi wouldn't want to be near Konoha.
It was a week before Naruto heard something about Itachi being in Yugakure so he went there. Itachi was sly though and made it out before Naruto even had the chance to talk to him.
It was two months after that before Naruto caught another trail of Itachi but he sat on it because he didn't want to scare the other away. Naruto wasn't sure when he became the predator turned prey but he certainly felt like it at this point so he stopped sleeping outside and started sleeping in inns so he could set traps at the entrances so no one could get in.
This particular night Naruto fell asleep thinking the traps were fine and set but he didn't know that someone was already in his room. The moment he fell asleep they tied him up to the bed. Naruto woke up as he felt the weight on top of him.
"AHHHH!" Naruto screamed then got muffled.
"Naruto-kun why are you following me?" Itachi asked sitting at the edge of the bed then reached over to take the muffle out his mouth.
"Itachi? What the hell? Let me out of this." Naruto said realizing he was in chakra cuffs too which made him nervous.
"Not until you tell me why you're following me," Itachi said.
"Check my pocket with the scroll." Naruto said. "It's the scroll with the Hokage symbol," Naruto said gesturing to his pants pocket.
"Why are they looking for me?" Itachi asked after he read the scroll.
"They sent me to get you because they wanted you to come back after they found out the truth about everything," Naruto said.
"Do you know the truth about everything?" Itachi asked.
"Not everything, I didn't ask," Naruto said.
"Why didn't my brother come for me?" Itachi said.
"He said he wasn't ready to see you. He's ready now though he assured me." Naruto said.
"How did he assure you?" Itachi asked.
"We send scrolls every time I change villages," Naruto said.
"When will be the next time you change villages?" Itachi asked.
"I'm not sure why?" Naruto asked.
"Because send him a message of me not coming back," Itachi said.
"I won't, my mission is to bring you back and that's what I am going to do," Naruto said.
"Ever the optimist huh Naruto-kun," Itachi said.
"Why don't you want to come back?" Naruto asked.
"That's not your business," Itachi said looking away.
"I told you everything you asked now just answer that question. It's not a hard question." Naruto said.
"I just don't feel the need to go back there," Itachi said.
"Liar, but whatever I will just follow you until you get tired of me," Naruto said.
"You think you can catch me?" Itachi asked incredulously.
"I like games of tag they always keep me entertained. This is a bit different though seeing as I am usually the one being chased but this should be fun." Naruto said.
"That's amusing; if you can catch me I will come back with you," Itachi said putting a seal on Naruto and then took the chakra cuffs off and jumped out the window.
Naruto was beyond pissed when he got out of all the traps he set and the extra ones that Itachi set and moved onto chase Itachi.
"I look forward to this entertainment Naruto-kun," Itachi said with a smirk of amusement.
It was going to be interesting for the both of them and they didn't really know what to expect from the two but it was at least going to be interesting.
Review everyone.
I think I am on a serious roll with this pairing and I don't know why to be honest. But I am looking forward to what everyone wants to see in this story.
