For Insanity

First off, this is my first fanfiction, so please go easy on me. I would like it very much if there are some reviews. Thanks. I don't own Naruto. Also, fanfic has things like death. Consider yourself warned.

'Thinking'

"Talking"

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

He was travelling at his maximum speed. The recent news did not sit well with the older Uchiha (I'm talking about Itachi. Who knows who you might think of.. So let me tell you, its neither Madara, nor Obito. I mean, wasn't Sasuke supposed to be the last Uchiha?). He couldn't believe Hideki's information at all. Konoha surrendered to Iwa? Everyone knew that Konoha was at least equal, if not more powerful than its long standing enemy. Adding the alliance with Suna to the equation, Iwa making Konoha submit seemed a little too impossible to the missing-nin. What made this even harder to believe was the fact that this treaty was, seemingly, a peaceful act, and not a post-war pact.

Since there was no huge war before Konoha's absorption into Iwa, it was obvious that the now bloated up Iwa had twice the number of ninja, given that Iwa treats Konoha ninjas as its own. Fat chance. Still in the end, Iwa is now the strongest of the hidden villages and land of earth (land of land, eh?) is biggest country. No doubt all ninja villages will unite under Iwa's banner. So the question is, can present Akatsuki afford to offend all major and minor ninja villages simultaneously? Oh well, better let Tobi-'kun' worry about this stuff.

Although the news could be false, for which he will definitely set shinigami on Hideki's behind, if the news comes out to be true, then is he now an Iwa ninja too? Its better to think about it after inspecting Konoha.

Aha! There's the pleasant 50 feet tall wall (attack on titans much?) totally incapable of holding any ninja with decent chakra control in or out of the village, which serves the additional purpose of announcing to all the sneaking parties where the village 'Hidden' in the leaves is... might as well put a huge neon board with Konoha's insignia... Wait, there it is, right on top of EVERY DAMNED GATE! But there must be some logic behind it. Right! Walls must have been to avoid any toddler from getting lost in the forest. After all, the ninja exist to protect the future generation. -Insert Asuma's preaching about the real king- .

Finally, I am at my ex-home, and the gate guards should be Iwa-ni..

"Izumo, Kotetsu.", said Itachi, hiding his astonishment at seeing the two guards alive.

"Its Uchiha Itachi! Quick, Izumo! Notify the Anbu! I'll try to hold him off for as long as possible.", was the gate guards' cheerful, or maybe not so cheerful reply.

"No need, I'm here to surrender.", poor little Itachi said innocently. 'Why do they just assume I want to cause trouble?'

"Are you serious?"

"Sure, why not. Its not like I, the super awesome, Mangekyou wielding, clan slaughtering shinobi prodigy, THE UCHIHA ITACHI, needs to deceive two chunin guards?", Itachi laughed like he was insane. But again, who in their sane minds would slaughter their own clan? So maybe nothing was amiss at all? All this thinking was becoming too much of a mental burden on the 'quick' wits of eternal chunin.

'Oh no! These foolish guards just had to see me during my loss of composure. But I lost it thinking about me, and everyone goes insane about me.. maybe it isn't that big of a deal? Oh who am I kidding.. they'll definitely not let me live pridefully after that. Guess they'll have to go..', and two shinobi corpses fell to the ground, with black fire in place of their heads.

"Damn! Its not bad enough that I had kill all the damn Uchihas except Sasuke, who was absent at the time of my outburst, I was lucky that I remembered that Danzo wanted me to watch the clan and I successfully shifted the reason for massacre as a mission from him in front of Hokage. But then the unlucky hunter-nin that saw me freaking out and so on.. The list of my victims just goes on and on. I might have to start controlling my outbursts if things go on like this.". Itachi might not know it (it was kind of strange to write that), but the day he made good on that decision, his life would change.

'So what should I say that won't make the Kon.. Iwa nin suspect my reason of murder? Right! I'll just say that I came here to take Naruto with me.', the genius apparently forgot that the Kyuubi host was out on a trainning trip with toad sannin.

Soon, the ex-Anbu was surrounded by Anbu, who were there due to detection of chakra usage.

"Itachi! Why have you come back? And what is the meaning of killing two Iwa-nin right off the bat?" A boar-masked Anbu spoke.

"I have come for the Jinchūriki, and these two were refusing to provide me any information."

"How'd you know that Roshi is here!? Seems there has been some breach in the intelligence. Whatever.. Its not like we didn't find a missing-nin. Not so missing now, are you?" Apparently, it was a funny joke since all the Anbu started laughing. But in Itachi's opinion, it was an extremely poor joke. And if there was something that Itachi hated more than cats, ramen, super weak people, water, and many more things, it was bound to be stupid people laughing on stupid jokes. Itachi had never been so mad in his life. Not even when he caught Mikoto, his mom, giving Shisui HIS pocky. Itachi had tried to explain to Shisui that taking his pocky was playing with fire, but apparently, that sent the wrong message, since Uchiha used to play with real live fire on a daily basis. So he had to kill Shisui, but was so full of guilt due to his inability to save his pocky, that he awakened a Mangekyou. Then he caught Mikoto giving away HIS pocky, AGAIN, to that guy who lived in his house, and tried to order him around. What was his name again? Ah yes, Uchiha Fugaku. Now that's one way to get killed. Make Itachi mad, catch him yelling nonsense, and you have acquired a VIP ticket to the shinigami express. So Itachi made good on his custom, and burned those fools to the ground after screaming at them. But right then, Sasuke showed up, demanding a reason. The immediate answer he could come up with, which would allow him to retain his Mr. mystery image was that he should tell a lie so obvious that even a toddler would see through - that it was to test his strength. If Sasuke knew that Itachi had told him the wrong answer, then it would obviously make him all the more mysterious, since no one would know why he did this. But Sasuke, the naive fool, just didn't have a brain and accepted it as he told him it was. In the end, it was Sasuke's fault that he ended up a missing nin. Anyway, back on topic, Itachi was pissed by the stupid joke and the following waves of laughter from Anbu. He was thinking what to do when suddenly a voice was heard - "Shut the hell up!" 'Ha! Someone is about to teach these brats what a well composed Anbu is supposed to be, and about to kick their asses.' But when even after about five seconds, no one new entered the scene, and everyone was looking at him weird, Itachi realized that he had been the voice behind the - 'Shut the hell up!', and decided, 'Yeah, they gotta go too..'. After all, they had watched him scream. This could not be possible be let slide. After all, he had an image to take care of..
