A/N: Alright, this is the second chapter of this story. It is going to follow closely along the first plot line and my own added twist. It will probably only follow the regular plot line until after the fight with Zabuza and Haku because I didn't actually watch it util they had to leave to get Sasuke back from the sound four. If you want to help and tell me what happened in between I would be forever greatful.
Here I would like to thank the people that have reviewed this story.

remember. I haven't updated much so I don't remember the people
that reviewed before. Thx for your understanding that mine won't be
like yours and I will make sure of that.
Naruto stood at one end of the playground for the younger students. Sasuke on the other.
"On your marks, get ready, GO!" The blonde girl yelled. Naruto later found out her name was Ino.
Naruto built chakra up in his feet and began to run as fast as hurricane force winds.
Sasuke spun around on his heels trying to find Naruto. He finally gave up and began shooting insults. "So, your too chicken to show your face?! Ha, I knew this would be easy! You're so done!"
Naruto grabbed a kunai out of his pouch and aimed for Sasuke's arm. He wasn't going to kill the kid because that would risk the mission. Eventually Naruto got tired and stopped running.
"Finally stopping?" Sasuke asked with a raised eyebrow.
Naruto threw the kunai at Sasuke's arm and aimed a kicked at his area. Both landed.
"Ahhhhh!" Sasuke screamed in pain falling to the ground.
"Too easy." Naruto jeered. Naruto turned around and noticed Iruka-sensei there with his hands on his hips.
"Don't say anything. I saw the entire fight. Everyone go inside! Sakura, I want you to help Sasuke inside and stop his arm bleeding." Iruka ordered.
The pink haired girl from earlier helped Sasuke up and began to walk off. Before they got to far Naruto grabbed the kunai from Sasuke's arm which began to bleed more.
As soon as everyone was out of the area and back inside Iruka began to question Naruto. "Who did you train with?! Not even our greatest ninja could do that at this age!" Iruka was surprised, mad, and confused all at the same time.
Naruto kept a straight face. He always loved this question. He would use the letters in Itachi's name and make sentences from them. "I Train Alone. Come Home Iruka!" Naruto said.
Iruka had a dumbstruck expression on his face.
"If you wanna know figure it out yourself." Naruto said and then walked back into the room.
As soon as he stepped in all the girls and some of the boys surrounded him.
"You're sooo cool!" Ino yelled.
"Yeah! No one has been able to ever beat Sasuke!" A shy girl in the back whispered.
"Hinata, you have no clue what your talking about! Sasuke is still the best!" Sakura yelled as she walked in.
"And why is that?" Naruto asked raising his head to let her see his eyes so that he could see whether she was lying.
Sakura began to blush. "Um…Sasuke is still…cute?"
Ino whapped Sakura in the back of the head. "But, Naruto is HOT!!!!" Ino screamed.
Iruka walked into the room. "Everyone, sit down and open your books to page 315. I want you to get with a partner and do the small quiz about Taijutsu." Iruka said anger filling his eyes.
Sakura ran to Naruto's side and grabbed his arm. "Dibs!" She called.
Ino and Hinata back off and Sakura and Naruto begin to work together.
"Naruto, where did you go after you left the village when you were five?" Sakura asked.
Naruto didn't know how much he could tell her without revealing the Akatski's location.
"Really all I did was train around the different villages. I met a lot of people that taught me different things. I know jutsu and all about chakra and even some forbidden jutsus that aren't allowed here but are in other places. Most of the time the things I talked to were animals and trees." Naruto explained trying to sound kind.
"Well, have you got your questions done?" Sakura asked him about twenty minutes later.
"Yup." Naruto replied twirling his pencil and thinking about what Itachi would say to him about getting to close to people.
"I can turn your in if you want me to." Sakura offered.
"Sure." Naruto replied. He made a paper airplane really quick and threw it at the back of Sasuke's head.
Sasuke paid no attention and ignored it while Ino kept talking about how great she thought he was.
**After school**
Naruto unlocked his house and walked to the couch where he had left the plans for the Akatski's mission to take over Konoha. I sat down and began to study it.
Awhile later he could tell that something was wrong. His house, it felt like someone was watching. Naruto quickly grabbed a kunai from his pocket and threw it at the wall.
"Nice shot." Itachi congratulated as he walked towards Naruto.
"Need something, Master?" Naruto asked, putting the scroll down beside him.
"I'm updating you on the mission. Pein has said that he wants to move the entire operation into Konoha. After the graduation exams Kasame, Deidara, and I will need your help to transport the all the members of the Akatski into Konoha. Do you accept?" Itachi asked.
Oh great! Another straight forward question! How would I be able to help the three of them get the Akatski into the village?!
"How would we get the other members here, Master?" He asked hoping that Itachi would kick his ass. "Pein is still thinking. Would you be willing to help us with this mission though?" Itachi asked. "I'll do everything I can from the inside, Master." Naruto replied."Don't forget the rules." Itachi said and then added, "Recite the rules."
"Stay away from other people, don't show emotion, don't make friends, and most important don't get mad at anyone and reveal the secret." Naruto recited.
Itachi nodded and left.
Naruto walked to the door and noticed a letter laying there. He opened it.
Dear Naruto,
I really like you a lot. I have something that I have to tell you. If you want to know, please meet me outside the village at the lake about a mile out.
Sincerely,
Sakura Haruno
Naruto knew that he had to find out this secret. If she knew anything about him being in the Akatski then he would have to kill her. He had to follow Itachi's orders but, he liked Sakura. The first time he had set sight on her emerald colored eyes, he knew he loved her.
A/N: So, this is the end of the second chapter. It is way longer than the first!
Preview of The Secrets of The Village
"How do you know this Sakura?" Naruto asked in a confused tone.
She smiled. "I'm not Sakura." Was her reply.
