Okies, here's the second one. Hope ya like.

Kusaitu-baka owns nothing of Naruto, but the idea is her own.

First chapter

Itachi was carrying now unconscious boy in his arm. The boy had blond messy hair and was dressed in hideous orange jumpsuit. Yes, the boy was Naruto.

They had been running away from Konoha hunter-nins together for a week now.

Week ago Itachi had killed his whole clan, except his little brother Sasuke.

Week ago Naruto had been attacked by the villagers – again – and at last had had enough. He had used Kyuubi's chakra and killed fifteen villagers.

---flashback---

Itachi was just going to leave the village, when he heard a weak and in some way familiar voice behind him.

"Itachi-san… Where are you going?"

Itachi had turned around. He saw a little blond boy, dressed in his usual orange attire. A little boy who he had saved from the villagers many times – one more reason for him to hate the village.

The boy seemed to be beaten by the villagers again. But there was something different in him.

Boy's clothes were messed up by blood, which he could tell wasn't his. The blood in his clothes seemed like it had been plashing on him.

"What happened to you?" Itachi asked.

Naruto looked at himself. "Oh. Kyuubi helped me."

The boy sounded apathetic. Gone was his happy-go mask he always wore.

Itachi felt his hate for the village just come more intense.

"You didn't answer my question, Itachi-san. Where are you going?"

Itachi sighed, sounding some way longing.

"I am going away from here. It's goodbye for us, Naruto."

Naruto looked at his savior, his only one who didn't hate him – besides the hokage. "Who will save me, if you're gone, Itachi-san?"

"I'm sorry."

Itachi turned around, attaching some chakra in his feet. He took couple of steps on the wall. He continued on his way up.

"Wait", the boy called weakly, longingly to him. "Take me with you, Itachi-san."

Itachi stopped, looked down at the boy. He saw tears in Naruto's eyes. Those tears hurt him more than those his foolish little brother had cried.

"I can't. You could be killed, Naruto."

He couldn't bring danger to the boy he hold so dear.

Naruto chuckled, his voice now hollow.

"I'm going to die here, Itachi-san."

The boy looked up to him; Itachi didn't see any emotion besides hollow sadness and longing in his eyes or face.

"Let's us escape this place together" the boy continued.

--- ---

After those words, Itachi had taken hold on the boy – hugged him near him and they had gone together. They had left their homes together.

First Itachi had fought of the hinter-nins that were sent after them. It was difficult to him when he had to protect Naruto at the same time.

"I'm sorry for being a burden to you, Itachi-san", Naruto had said.

"No need to be sorry", he had answered.

After a while, they had been only running away – until Naruto had fallen unconscious from exhaustion. Itachi carried the body of the boy, noticing how starved the boy was. His whole form was thin. Like the boy was only made of bones and skin.

And now week had passed. He was tired, but he wouldn't stop no matter how long. He wouldn't endanger Naruto by doing so.

Kunai flew past him. Itachi cursed his exhaustion to hell. Three hunter-nins appeared in front of him.

Few more had him surrounded.

He took kunai in hand.

He won't die nor will he let Naruto die. That's what he decided.

Hunter-nins charged and he activated his sharingans.

Ready to defend himself, he took fighting stance.

But instead he saw a large sword wrapped in bandages and a man holding the sword. The man took the hunter-nins out fast and then turned to the exhausted Itachi and his little companion.

Itachi didn't let his defense fell, even if he was curious of the grayish-blue skinned shark-like man who had just saved him and Naruto.

"Found you!" the stranger said, his grin showing his whole row of sharp teethes.

"Who are you?"

The put his sword hang back to his back. "My name is Kisame Hoshigaki. I've been told to get you to join our organization, Itachi Uchiha-san."

Itachi raised a questioning eyebrow. "Organization?"

"Yup – Leader-sama wants you to join Akatsuki. He says you could be use to him or something."

Itachi tightened his hold on Naruto as he looked at the man.

"What is Akatsuki then?" he asked.

"Just a little organization that's goal is to take over the ninja world to stop the shinobi wars", Kisame answered casually, like it was most common goal in the world.

Itachi looked even more skeptical, but decided to follow the shark-like man anyway. It wasn't like he had any better choice.

He looked at the boy in his arms and sighed, he just hoped this wouldn't get them any more problems.
