The tainted angel

Itachi felt cold he couldn't understand why. Why did his father have to Force Naruto to become a ninja? Wasn't it enough that his father destroyed his childhood and stained his dreams with the blood and Screams of the ninja he killed. Now he wanted to do the same with Naruto! How Dare he! This monster, no this devil seeks to corrupt a true angel! I Won't stand for this! NOT FOR ONE SECOND! "

"Father no! He's just a child you can't possibly"…

Whatever Itachi was about to say was immediately silenced by the backhand Fugaku dealt him.

Silence you insolent brat! The demon child will be a trained weapon for the Uchiha and you will NOT stand in the way of that, am I understood!

"Hai chichue" Itachi replied through gritted teeth.

Good Fugaku said because Shisui will be training him.

The grin on Fugakus face could have scared the shinigami himself, because it was well known that Shisui hated Naruto more than any other clansmen. His parents were torn apart during the kyubi attack and Shisui believed that Naruto was the demon reborn. Itachi knew that Shisui would be ruthless with Naruto and could very well kill him during training. It was at that moment that Itachi decided that he would have to teach Naruto to protect himself because Itachi realized he could no longer protect him.

The angel would have to become a demon if he was to survive, but Itachi found himself wondering if he really could corrupt the only light in his now darkening world. He knew very well however that if he didn't Naruto would surely die. With that thought his decision was made. To protect his ottuoto he would gladly drown in darkness too bad he didn't realize how far he would have to fall to protect Naruto. As Naruto trained and suffered under Shisuis cruel tutelage he'd come home beaten and bloody only for Itachi to run him into the ground again .The worst part was that no matter how punishing his training Naruto would smile the whole time because his Tachi-Nii was training him. Itachi however hated himself for it. Every blow he dealt to Naruto sent a piercing pain into his heart and he knew it was because his heart was breaking. He couldn't stop not until Naruto could crush any would be attackers but would Naruto ever truly be safe? Even now he could see the veiled pain behind his eyes Naruto has always been strong Itachi thought.

He never cried no matter how severe the beating. He always kept smiling it's that smile Itachi swore to protect but how long could he continue to allow Naruto to experience such pain? They say the sharingan is only activated during a life and death battle the thing is Naruto activated it during his first training session. Why that was is to put it simply is because Shisui killed him. Itachi could remember that moment like it was yesterday because it always repeated in his nightmares.

FLASHBACK-

Come with me brat grunted Shisui as he yanked Naruto by the arm outside. It's time you learned your place as the Uchiha weapon!

"Weapon?" asked little Naruto curiously.

His only answer was a fist to the face quickly followed by a rib shattering kick that sent Naruto across the court yard. When he finally came to a stop it was all Naruto could do not to cry out in pain. However he remembered that Tachi-nii never cried and he had always wanted to be strong like Tachi. So coughing up blood and shaking badly little Naruto boldly got up again. Then he said the one thing that made Itachi fear for Naruto's life.

"More" said Naruto.

Shisui smiled cruelly at that and pulled out a kunai.

Ok brat let's play

He then ran at Naruto with a deadly gleam in his eye. This time Naruto was ready, well as ready as a three year old could be. He managed to jump out of the way of the first slash however the second strike was faster and he wasn't able to dodge it completely. The kunai fond home in his calf and this time Naruto did scream. He refused to cry however he would never cry because Tachi-told him to be strong! Sadly the wound slowed him down enough that there was no escaping the next stab. The kunai slashed his throat open and in a shower of blood he went down the world slowed down, he couldn't breathe, and he was falling but he couldn't stop himself. Then slowly his vision started fading to black. Itachi who had been tensely watching the training session for the first time in his life lost his composure.

"NARUTO!"

The scream that tore from his throat was enough to alert the whole compound. In that moment of panic and rage Itachi Uchiha attacked his cousin

"SHISUI YOU SON OF A BITCH I'LL KILL YOU "

Itachi launched himself at Shisui and the blow that the enraged Itachi launched at him crushed his jaw bone. The follow-up knee to the face crushed his nose and sent him rolling. While on the ground he finally caught a glimpse of Itachi's enraged face and to his shock Itachi was crying but not just crying he was crying blood and that was the last he saw before Itachi's next blow knocked him out. Itachi was beyond rage he felt so much grief and pain he could hardly think straight. All he knew was that Naruto was dead and it was his fault for not protecting him. Suddenly his eyes were on fire, his sharingan flared and before he knew it he was being forced off of Shisui by his father and two clan elders. The last thing he knew was the look of shock on his father's face before it morphed into one of pleasure. The gasp of the elders as they looked at his eyes, and the faint call of they're alive! Before a sudden massive drain on his chakra made him pass out he was later awoken by a happy and completely healed Naruto. It would seem that the fox wasn't about to let its container die. Itachi immediately grabbed Naruto into a bone crushing hug Naruto giggling the whole time.

FLASHBACK END

That was three years ago in that time Naruto had come a long way. Through the relentless beatings given to him by Shisui and Itachi's own unforgiving training. Naruto was able to fully master the combat aspect of his sharingan. He had also mastered the Uchiha interceptor style of combat, the beginners taijutsu style of the Uchiha clan and in his arsenal was Katon: gokayo no jutsu, Katon: hosenka no jutsu, Raiton: raikyu, and henge no jutsu; the reason he didn't learn more was because he spent most of the training learning chakra control. All in all Naruto was genin level because his speed and reflexes were still too slow and his muscles had yet to fully develop. Itachi could easily say he was very proud of Naruto.

"TACHI-NIIIII!" Naruto Whined. You're daydreaming again!"

Itachi could only smile at that, no matter what happened Naruto was always so impatient.

So I am what of it. Itachi replied

"I was asking you to take me shopping for academy supplies."

Oh alright but on one condition.

"What is it I'll do anything." Naruto replied excitedly.

Alright I'll take you if you agree to start learning optical genjutsu.

"But Tachi genjutsu are so boring and controlling my chakra is too hard!"

That's no excuse. Replied Itachi amusedly.

"I promise I'll start after I graduate ok Tachi?"

"Fine have it your way Naru-chan." Itachi replied tiredly.

"Hey! I told you to stop calling me Naru-chan I'm not a Little kid anymore!" Naruto replied indignantly.

You'll always be little to me Naru-chan. Itachi teased.

Itachi couldn't help the smile that spread across his face at Naruto's petulant look.

Alright Naruto let's go.

Grabbing him by the shoulder Itachi quickly shunshind to the gates of the Uchiha compound.

So Naruto. Itachi said as they began walking towards the village.

Are you excited to be starting the academy next week?

"Ya." Naruto cheered. "I'm going to be the best in the whole academy just watch Tachi! I'll be beating up bad guys on an anbu team with you in no time."

Itachi tried his best to smile at that, the truth was that's the last thing Itachi wanted for Naruto. However he realized a long time ago that this was the path Naruto was destined to take. So he decided to do everything he could to support and prepare Naruto for the hardships to come.

Of course ottuoto but you have to graduate first. Itachi replied.

"Sure thing Tachi I'll be number one you'll see!"
