Chapter 2 The bloody Flash

Itachi than picked up Naruto on his feet and Naruto dusted imaginary dust off of his shoulders. He seemed to wince in pain every time he moved but seemed to be healing at a very fast rate for the condition he is in.

" So what happened to you Naruto-kun?" Itachi asked with no emotion in his voice.

" Well...

Flashback

Naruto just ran out of kunai while practicing his aim with long-ranged weapons. He decided to buy some while there was still some daylight out. He went to a weapon store that he seen a lot of shinobi go into. When the store owner saw him he glared very coldly at him but quickly covered it up which looked like a fake smile but Naruto didn't know so he thought the man was happy to see him.

" Hello de-Uzumaki-san."

" Hey Mr. How did you know my name?"

" Oh well you are pretty popular around here."

" Oh he he he." Naruto started chuckling and rubbing the back of his neck.

" So what can I get for you today."

" Can I get a new kunai and shuriken set I ran out of mine just a couple of minutes ago."

" Sure." He pulled out a new kunai and shuriken set and set it on the counter.

" How much is it?" Naruto reached for his Gama-Chan but was stopped by the man."

" Its on the house, since you are going to be hokage one day."

" Yeah dattebayo!" Naruto was very excited that someone believed in him.

He was handed the set and Naruto was about to walk out of the store the man yelled " Help the demon is stealing the demon is stealing!!" Naruto went wide-eyed and dropped the set when he saw a mob of angry villagers. One of the villagers punched Naruto across the face and the rest started kicking him on the ground till he started to cough up blood. The villagers then took the kunai set and started to stab and slash him, luckily no where it would be fatal though. When they started to walk away they spitted on him and cursed him, but not before they robbed him.

End Flashback

" So thats why you look this hurt." Naruto nodded slowly and sadly. For a quick second Itachis eyes showed a bit of concern but was quickly wiped away.

" So are you going to come with me." Itachi really didn't want to use force cause he was already beaten and leader-sama would probably kill him for Naruto has the Kyuubi no kitsune in him and wants him in the best shape.

" I don't know Itachi this place is my home and I have three people that actually care for me." " Well you will come back here so you wont be gone forever, I'll give you till tomorrow to make your decision meet me here a 7a.m. And give me your decision." Itachi then disappeared in a puff of smoke. Naruto went home skipping dinner thinking about Itachi's suggestion. Well on his way home he see smoke in a clear distance and sees his apartment set on fire. No one was seen around it but it was no accident. It looked like a torch was just thrown right into the building. Naruto feel on his knees and cried but stopped when he felt a hand on his shoulder. Naruto looked up and saw Itachi with a little concern in his eyes but it was really hard to see because of his unemotional mask he always had up. Naruto got up and said " 'sniff' I'll go with you." Itachi motioned for Naruto to follow him and he did that. Naruto took one look behind the gates and just left. Naruto seemed a little sad because he couldn't say goodbye to the old man and the owners of Ichirikaru ramean.

For most of the next day they traveled in silence but it was somewhat peaceful. They only stopped twice to eat lunch and dinner . Both were cooked fish Itachi got from the river. Naruto's wounds have all healed but still depressed from what happened the other day. " How long is it to where were going?" " It took me 3-4 weeks but I know where to go now, so it might take only 2." Naruto only nodded but then asked " Where are we going?" " We are going to the mountains in the far West but its really not as long as people believe."

After a few more days the mountains were in sight and could probably make it there in a few days. After hearing all of the training Naruto received at the academy he was disappointed that the only jutsu Naruto could do was the Orioke no jutsu which unfortunately Itachi had to experience at first hand. Itachi threatened Naruto so bad he promised to never do it again as long as he could see it. Naruto regretfully agreed .

It took about 2 days and they finally got to the entrance. It was a cave wall that had a ring like shaped carved in the middle of it. Itachi put his ring in it and the cave wall slide open. They started to walk down a long hallway light by torches that seemed that there was no end to them because they could see all the way down it. They were then greeted by a bluish-skin man that had gills on his neck wearing exactly what Itachi was wearing. Naruto was going to make fun of him but stopped because this was supposed to be his new home. They then saw a giant podium where they saw a man in the shadows.

" Good job Itachi you did what I asked and now you are a member of the Akatsuki." " Thank you leader-sama." " Naruto I am very pleased you decided to join us." " Uhhhh... thanks but who are you?"

The man in the shadows didn't answer, instead he said something that would change Naruto's life forever.

" Welcome to your new home my son."

Sorry if Itachi seemed a little Oc in this chapter. I forgot to mention this in my last chapter I do not own Naruto. Please R&R
