I have planned something with the Tsukuyomi, don't worry^^ Newami, … I-I'm so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Stuttered in happiness) Thanks a lot. Well, I guess, it's better to get started now!^^ Anyway, all things here aren't mine (wish they were mine.. T.T) except my OC you know who…^^

Last encounter:

"How did this happen?" asked Sakura.

"As you know about the strange chakra presence, I couldn't find it on the training grounds, so I decided to follow Kaito to the Forest of Death. However, he's a Jounin and I was going to get something. But all I saw was him fighting with…" Naruto stopped.

"He was fighting with who?" asked Sakura and Tsunade.

"Uchiha… Itachi…" answered Naruto slowly.

"But how?" asked Shizune.

"Isn't he supposed to be with the Akatsuki? And how did he get into this village?" asked Shizune again.

Naruto shrugged. The pineapple head who sat on the window just look at the group with concerned expression. He should report this soon.

Minato was pacing in his around worriedly. His body was all covered in sweats, and to be honest, it has been 2 days since he didn't hear the report. At the same time, the long white haired captain came to his office with a man with pink haori on his back.

"Yo!" called the man in the pink haori. But Minato didn't listen as he was too deep in thought.

"Hey, Minato!" called the long white haired man. This time, Minato seemed to notice and he smiled.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm fine. Just some problem had been bugging me lately," he answered spontaneously.

"Is it about Kaito-kun?" asked Ukitake with worried look. Minato sighed then nodded.

"Then, why don't we go and check on him?" offered Ukitake with his usual cheerful smile.

"Is it OK?" asked Minato worriedly.

"Yeah, we had asked Yama-jii for this," said Kyoraku. Once again, Minato smiled.

"Alright then, Ikuzo!" said Ukitake.

"Wait, didn't Renji-san said to bring the Fourth Squad Captain with us?" asked Kyoraku.

"What's wrong with Unohana-san?" asked Minato, not liking the idea of bringing the Medic Head with them.

In Konoha Hospital…

"This is strange… His chakra had been fixed. But there is something more in this Genjutsu that I can't detect with my very medical skill. I'll look for it forward. Shizune, Sakura, follow me!"

"Hai!" answered both kunoichi and they started to walk away.

After they left the room, Naruto had his arms folded. The pineapple head had been looking at his teammate with a worried look.

"Now, tell me your name, pineapple head." Naruto said with his eyes closed.

"My name is Abarai Renji. Just call me Renji if you like," answered the pineapple head.

His hesitation had gone since he sent the messge to Soul Society to Byakuya and Ukitake. He hoped they brought a medic though. He sighed and looked at the blonde boy who was also looking at him directly in the eyes.

"What's your name, Blondie?"

"Uzumaki Naruto," he answered shortly.

"Well, aren't you going to explain anything about this anyway?" asked Naruto after there was a long pause.

"Why do you ask that?"

"I can see that you're hiding something from me, Renji. If not, why are you so concerned about him? You and he must have a kind of relation that bonds well." Renji sighed at the statement.

"I'm sorry I couldn't tell you just now."

"Why? Are you a part of Akatsuki?"

"Akatsuki? What the hell is that thing?"

Naruto then looked at the other way. Then he looked at the floor before finally answering him.

"A criminal organization consisted of highly ranked ninjas that want to kill me."

"Kill you? But why do they want to kill you?"

"It's hard to explain."

Kaito was breathing slowly. The sound his breathing was almost unheard, but you could see sometimes his eyes are twitching. Seeing this only made Naruto's blood boil in anger. It's true he knew this guy just a day before, but he felt somewhat happy and close near him. He then moved and sat at the window, just like what Renji did and closed his eyes.

Renji saw the blond boy's Cerulean blue eyes closed and couldn't help but wonder how on earth his eyes could be so similar with the Captain of Fifth Squad. About one minute, the blond opened his eyes again, but they were changed like frog's eyes. His aura was also felt stronger.

"Four people coming here…" he muttered.

"What?" Renji asked in confusion.

"They are here," said Naruto as he turned his gaze to the room and his eyes went back to normal.

There were four strange people, wearing the same white haori that he saw Kaito wore at the Fourth's head. Among four of them, he could only react to one person, and the person did the same.

"O-Otou-san… Why are you here…?" asked the boy in disbelief. The othercaptain, including Renji was shocked.

"Naruto…?"

"Renji…" said Minato.

"I hadn't told him anything, Namikaze-taichou," he said in respectful tone.

'Namikaze-taichou?' thought Naruto.

Minato sighed. This gonna take some time forever to explain the condition to his son.

"Yo Blondie! You look like the exact copy of Minato-kun. Who are you?"

"I looked like him and you asked me why? Of course I am! I'm his son after all."

Unohana had moved to the bed side and started checking him. She moved her hands and checked everypart.

"There's no vital sign of physical injuries, but he is now trapped in some kind of illusion," said unohana after having finished her check up.

"Genjutsu. Itachi did it," said Naruto slowly but loud enough for Minato to hear.

"Excuse me? Did you just say Itachi?" asked Minato. Naruto nodded.

Minato sighed. Now he knew the reason why he hadn't got the news. He couldn't help but feeling angry at Itachi's name. The Espada who had been his enemies ever since he got his title as the Fifth Squad Captain. He then moved to Kaito's bedside and made a Hitsuji handseal.

"Kai!" muttered Minato.

Kaito's eyes began to open slowly. He looked at the ceiling then at everyone in the room. He stopped his gaze at the trio on his right. Minato, Naruto, and Renji.

"What happened to me?"

Side-Story:

"Well, aren't you going to explain anything about this anyway?" asked Naruto after there was a long pause.

"Why do you ask that?"

"I can see that you're hiding something from me, Renji. If not, why are you so concerned about him? You and he must have a kind of relation that bonds well." Renji sighed at the statement.

"I'm sorry I couldn't tell you just now."

"Why?"

"Err… Because I… "

"You what?"

"I… I…"

"You what? Tell me?"

"I… love him…"

"WHAT?!!" shouted Naruto, making Kaito awoken.

"What the hell is going on here? I'm supposed to still acting sleep."

"This stupid red pineapple head said that he loved you…"

Kaito sweatdropped.

"He read the wrong script you know? He was about to play Masaki's part and he struggled hard to remember that part."

Suddenly they felt a strong and dark reiatsu flowing in the room, and Ichigo was there and ready with his Zangetsu.

Alright! That's it again! Hope the side-story work well! Itachi's Mangekyo had developed! Ya know what that means? XDXDXDXD Anyway, don't forget to review!^^
