Hey guys. It's Queen back with another story! I know, I know. *pouts* I never promised that I wouldn't write another story before I finished my old ones. Speaking of which, updates for those will be coming out, albeit slowly at first as I get back into the rhythms that I set for each story. I have to go back and see where I was planning on taking each story, so thank you for waiting and please continue to be patient with me. I've toyed with this idea for a while now, seeing as I'm now as hooked on the ItaNaru pairing as I am on the ItaSasu and SasuNaru/NaruSasu pairings. *hopeless sigh* Can you actually blame me though? No? I thought not.
Title: The Masks We Wear
By: Hiei's Queen03
Summary: There's many things that ninja have to do to survive. The biggest one is to carefully mask their emotions but when you've been faking it for so long, it starts to become impossible to find yourself. FemNaruto. ItaNaru SasuKar
oOo
Warnings: This story is an AU but uses elements of the canon (fi that even makes sense). This story contains language, OOCness, and lemons. If you're offended by any of this then turn back now! THIS IS YOUR FINAL WARNING! Still here? Okay then.
I wish I owned the very sexy Uchiha Itachi but sadly I don't All characters and places in the Narutovese belong to Kishimoto-sempai *Sighs*
oOo
Talking; Blah
Dreams/Flashbacks; blah
Inner thoughts: Blah
In Kurama's chamber: blah

Namikaze Minato screwed his face in concentration; he had to perform this seal perfectly or it might result in the death of his newborn daughter. Smiling as he finished and activated the seal that would conceal his daughter's identity and protect her until she could defend herself, he looked over to the older man who was looking at him with sad eyes.
"Sarutobi-san, please keep our Naruko safe. When she's old enough, please tell her about us and how to work the jutsu. Until then, all others must not know who she really is. She will be known as Naruto Uzumaki and will appear as a boy to those around her. And, please let her interact with-" a cough wracked his body as more blood dribbled out of his mouth. Looking back to where the Shinigami was patiently waiting, he held up one finger, indicating that he should wait one more minute. Death nodded and Minato continued. "Kushina made a promised to Uchiha Mikoto that when Naruko became of age that she and their heir, Itachi, were to be engaged to be married, so if she could get to know the family that she's to be entering into, that would be good."
Nodding, the older man spoke. "I understand my friend. I will do all of what you ask of me and watch over Naruko. I think that it might be a good idea to assign Itachi as one of her bodyguards so that she can become more comfortable." Hearing this both Minato and his wife smiled and let their souls be at peace knowing that their child would be taken care of.
oOo
I know that this is short but I'm getting back into the swing of things and besides, this is a teaser to see if anyone is interested in this story. If so, I will get started on Chapter two. I think I'll be updating this story as fast as I can. But I promise that I will get to my other stories. Again, thanks to everyone who reached out to me. You guys are the reason I keep going and are my inspiration.
Ja ne,
-Queen
