I don't own anything Naruto just my oc's and that goes for this whole entire story*

"Itachi wait! I can't keep up with you!" shouted a dark haired girl running through the village of Konoha. The black hired boy stopped and looked at his petite friend as she struggled to catch up with him. He thought back to the first time they ever met.

Flashback: *7 years ago*

"Just because you're the Hokages daughter doesn't mean we have to be nice to you!" said a tall boy that was with two more kids. Itachi had come to the park with his mother and baby sister Susami. He had seen the small girl around before. She was always at those boring important parties that his parents had to drag him to. She was always clung to her twins arm or her father's leg never really speaking.

He saw the event unfold while his mother was busy with his sister and walked over there.

"What did she do to you?" he inquired upon the boy. "She thinks just because "daddy" runs the village everyone would want to play with her and be her friend, well maybe we don't wanna share or play with the spoiled "princess!" The boy spat at her! "I just was trying to make new friends." The girl cried. "Well we don't wanna play with you "princess!" he said while cocking his fist back. Before he could land the blow, Itachi caught it and flipped the boy over his shoulder to the ground. Suddenly a flash of yellow passed through the air and knocked the other two boys to the grown. The blond looked at his twin sister on the grass, then to the black haired Uchiha with his hand around the other kid's neck. Hiro walk up to his sister and picked her up, dusted her of, and looked her right in the eyes.

"Hiro said if you three boys want to live he suggests you leave now or there will be casualties." The tree boys looked at each other and took off without hesitation.

Hiro walked over to the Itachi and extended his hand. "Hiro says thank you very much for helping me and also I appreciate it too." The small girl smiled wide while holding on to her twin's free hand.

Itachi shook the blonde's hand and winked at Hina and walk away.

End Flashback:

It was the closing ceremony of the Academy that they were running late for. Surprisingly all of the class had passed and today they were assigning the teams before the festivities began.

The Academy's curriculum had changed over the years and re-evaluation had happen three times. Each year the students that came into the academy were more intelligent and cunning then the previous. They knew the basics already and some even knew there affinity. Also with it being a peaceful time there wasn't really a necessary rush for new ninja. The Hokage change the curriculum each time to make it more difficult and advance then before so that there wouldn't be an overstock of ninja looking for work and the ones that did pass where the strongest and brightest so if the need arise for ninja he'd have them at his disposal.

"Your slow Princess, old Iruka isn't going be happy with you. Nor will Naruto-sama if he hears you were late again." Hina made a face that caused Itachi to roll his eyes and keep moving. "It doesn't matter. Everyone besides you Twig and my brother hates me anyway in the academy…and I don't even know why or what I did wrong." She scratched her whisker marked cheeks and wondered what she could have done to make everyone not like her.

As she sat down in her usual seat between Hiro and Itachi she continued to wonder. 'Maybe I should ask father…but every time I do he says we will discuss it at a later time…I don't understand. Mother is pregnant again so I really don't wanna ask her; she's so emotional when she is pregnant. I'll just have to deal with it for now. Ill end up showing everyone though once I graduate here and move on to the Advance Academy for Chunnin.'

Things had change in Konoha since the defeat of Madara and the Akutsuki. Also after the return of Sasuke Uchiha, Tsunade had claimed Naruto as her successor.

What happen was Sasuke had met with Naruto secretly after Naruto gained control of the Kyuubi and told him his undercover plan of killing Madara and the rest of the Akutsuki. He had said it was a part of his and Itachi's grand plan to rid the ninja world of all evils. Even though Itachi had to die for it to work out he promised his brother he would name his first son after him in regards to his death.

Sasuke had asked Naruto to join him in his quest to finish off Madara and the Akutsuki but that meant that Naruto would have to run from the village he loved so dearly to make it happen.

An all-out search for Naruto happend when went missing for a mission, but he was never found. At the end of that long year Naruto and Sasuke returned to Konoha with the heads of Madara and the Orochimaru infused Kabuto. They explain to Tsunade what their plan was and that Sasuke was innocent and that Itachi's name be cleared of all sins. Tsunade accepted the request and referred the message to the rest of the village.

At first they were skeptical about Sasuke's return and innocents but as months progressed and his restrictions for leaving the village were lifted people began to warm back up to him. He was still quite unsociable as before but the air of hate and revenge that once floated around him had seemed to disappear and be replaced by peace. He was approachable and smiled more.

When he first saw Sakura again the day after he returned she slammed his face down into the cement and when he got up he looked her in the eyes and told her he was sorry and that he missed his pink-haired, giant fore headed friend which got him another fist to the face from a crying Sakura.

While on restriction Sasuke wasn't allowed to leave the village for a year and was on Anbu watch for 5 months of that year. He also wasn't able to do any missions above c rank that was inside or outside the village. He did not mind though. He had returned to his compound and started to rebuild and fix up the place. He made a grave for Itachi with a small shrine around it. He spent time training with Naruto and Kakashi. He also spent time with Sakura too.
