Itachi's decision adopted

by Wvdk

We all know Itachi killed the Uchiha and left to have their name cleaned for his brother, but what if he couldn't get himself to leave? I'll see how the chapters will turn out. Warning: some story pairings/elements that were in the original fanfic can be changed.

Chapter 1: prologue: a small change

Itachi's decision.
If you haven't noticed already I don't own Naruto and it's characters. And I'm not planning to claim I do either.

Ninja Academy
Iruka had seen a lot throughout his life, but the sight before him was completely new to him. Not that he had never seen Itachi before, nor that he had ever had a conversation about school outings with an Uchiha before, but that Itachi was practically begging him to change the date of the camping trip was completely new to him. Never had he seen an Uchiha beg. People bagged the Uchiha and the Uchiha demanded. Though Itachi's reason was selfish, not wanting his brother to be home alone at that date, his arguments were good and the children wouldn't mind. A month was still far enough in the future that the parents wouldn't cause any trouble over the reschedule. All he wondered was why Itachi was begging him instead of demanding it, like any other Uchiha would have done. But if Itachi could beg, then he would not refuse such a seemingly meaningless request.

Root Headquarters

"So, have you decided on your mission request, Itachi?" Danzo said calmly. "I have," Itachi pauzed for a moment and looked up before continued, "But I have three requests of my own. Meet them and I'll do it, Danzo. Otherwise I'm sure the Hokage would" "And what would those requests be, Itachi?" Danzo said in a bored tone.
Itachi continued, "One, Sasuke will be spared. Two, the mission will be kept secret until I have been able to tell Sasuke. Three, the Uchiha compounds will remain property of the Uchiha." "So you intend to stay?" Danzo asked in a surprised tone, "You do realize that the information is difficult to keep secret right? Are you prepared for the consequenses when anyone finds out?" Itachi answered in a calm tone: "I'm prepared to suffer the consequenses, however I'll do anything to protect Sasuke." "We have an agreement then?" Danzo asked. "We do," Itachi said, "and one last thing. The Hokage will be informed by me after the mission." "Understood"

Somewhere near Konoha
I'm offering you a chance to repay the Uchiha for their betrayal. All I want in return is that you do not attack the rest of the village and do not harm my brother. What do you say, Madara?" "a free ticket to the slaughter of the Uchiha, and all I have to do in exchange is delay my revenge on the rest of the village by a lifespan. I'm in."

"Author's" notes: Well, thats the end of the prologue. I hope you could understand this mess I've written :p.
Original fanfiction was made by Robin-1992 so this is a rewrite of an already existing story because he left it for adoption. Link to original fanfic: s/6982668/1/Itachi-s-decision. I tried to continue where he left off but the mess I've written made me cringe, hard. So I followed his advise to "rewrite" the chapters to make it easier for me to get into the story.
