Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, I never have, I never will
Prologue
Itachi looked down at the sleeping form below him.
"Sorry Naruto," he whispered as he picked up the sleeping boy. "I wished you could stay here and become a Konoha shinobi."
Itachi looked around, sensing no one was near; he jumped out the lone window into the night. The only reason he was bringing the young blond along was due to the fact that he would probably die do to attacks from the villagers.
"Stop Itachi!"
Ignoring the voice yelling behind him, Itachi continued running on, not stopping until he was far away from Konoha. Knowing he could never return do to the horrible crime he committed, he sighed at the thought of never seeing his brother again, that is with the bond they used to have. Sasuke, his brother's name, will try and kill him without a doubt for the crime against him.
The crime was the murder of the entire Uchiha clan, the only two left were himself and Sasuke.
…
The Hokage sighed, he wished that he did not have to announce Itachi as a missing nin, but unfortunately the council and village would be suspicious if he did not. No one knew that Itachi had come to him explaining what happened and even though he regretted it, he told him he would have to leave the village.
Flash back
"You do realize that you will have to leave the village."
"I do."
Sandaime studied the emotionless man before him.
"I suppose you have a request," Itachi nodded.
"I want Sasuke to be the only survivor," at this Sandaime nodded. " I also want to take Naruto with me."
The Hokage was not really surprised, Itachi took his duty as an Anbu guard seriously, viewing Naruto like a brother.
"Why?"
"He will probably die if I don't"
That surprised him, all the Anbu he had chosen were ones he thought were only loyal to the Hokage.
Sandaime asked, "Do any actually watch out for him?"
"Only Kakashi, but he is often late to his shifts."
"You may take him," Itachi nodded. "But when the council falls, please bring him back."
"Hai."
The Uchiha leapt out the window to do the horrendous task given to him.
End flash back
"Good luck, Naruto, Itachi," the third whispered.
