Alright I'm back! Don't kill me for being late, it's just my rule is I have to write a chapter before I upload a chapter... and I've had difficulty writing a chapter. Life gets tough, and it's not that I haven't had time for you guys it's just apparently I have to be "committed" to the things I sign up for. Fun.

Read onward!

Remember, I don't own much in this story. Just Naiya-chan and part of the plot. That's all I swear. If I owned Naruto, I would've had Sasuke kill Sakura way back when he left the village. And then he'd come back and him and Naruto would get married and have secks. But that's just me.

chapter 7

Two years passed. Naiya got more and more sturdy using her new leg. Soon she was able to perform complex taijutsu again, if she had the energy.

The course of the disease ravaging her immune system had changed, it still sucked chakra and that was bad. Itachi had contracted something similar. But it was killing him faster.

Itachi had accepted the fact he definitely would not live to his full life expectancy, but he probably had three or four years left. But Naiya hadn't quite grasped the concept.

"We're going to the Leaf today, Kisame." an almost 19 year old Itachi walked into the kitchen.

A 21 year old, and looking rather sickly, Naiya Uchiha munched on some ramen.

"Can I come with?"

"No, you're dead." he rolled his eyes, as if it was the most obvious fact in the world.

"Then can I at least watch, I wanna see what our beloved village looks like now!" she mocked.

"You can watch." he glared down on her. "But only intervene if nessecary, understood?"

"Hai. But first, I must restrengthen all of your seals. It's been a little over 5 years and I'm sensing little chakra from all of you, even Kisame, who probably has the highest concentration of chakra here. In one body." with that last addition, she eyed Pein.

"Do what you like." he rolled his purple eyes.

Soon the seals were done, and Itachi and Kisame were on their way.

"I need absolute silence, so I'll be in my room." the pale and sickly woman retreated to the bedroom she'd called home for almost 6 years.

Naiya sat cross-legged on her bed. She didn't want him to go, the jounin would hate him. Even with Kisame... enough Jounin and they'd both be killed.

"Ox Horse Boar!"

"Itachi, can you hear me? Where are you?"

Naiya sat idly, waiting. It had been almost 14 hours since last hearing from her ototou, and she was getting worried.

"Naiya-chan, you want some food?" it was Pein, he brought pizza. Even Pein knew how worried Naiya was about her brother.

"Yes please..." she sighed.

"Just entering Konoha." Itachi's voice was heard at long last.

"Itachi, you alright?" it was Naiya's turn to worry about her ototou.

"We've encountered many jounin, no worries though. Tell Pein-sama we aren't safe, Kakashi and Jiraiya know everything about the Organization." he was saying.

"The Organization's secrets aren't safe, he's saying." Naiya relayed to the orange-haired man standing in her room.

"What?" his jaw dropped.

"He says it's Jiraiya, and that they've encountered 4 Leaf Jounin, all very strong. One almost took down Kisame, named Maito Gai."

"Itachi, let me in!" she essentially yelled at him.

"Hai."

Soon Naiya could see all Itachi saw. She ejected her soul from her body, and trailed behind her ototou. But she was shot back into her body moments later.

"The Uzumaki brat is just up ahead, he's with the Sannin Jiraiya." Itachi said to Kisame.

"And Sasuke's there too." Itachi said to Naiya.

"What? Is he okay? I'm coming right now!"

"No, Naiya!"

Click. Disconnected.

"Itachi... You were right, I've fostered my hatred for you... and today you die! It ends here!" Sasuke lit up a Chidori.

"Chidori?" Itachi remarked.

"Sasuke, that's enough." Naiya had appeared behind Sasuke, gripping his wrist and pulling him backwards into a hug. An eerie smoke drifted from her body, adding to the effect she was dead.

"Nee-san?" Sasuke whipped around.

"You're dead!" he gasped and fell backwards.

Naiya smiled warmly.

"Hello, Captain Obvious." she grinned, pulling him into her lap, using the humor he'd known her for before her "death."

"Then why?" he was kicking trying to escape.

"Sasuke! Sasuke what's wrong?" Naruto body-checked Naiya out of the way and picked him up. Naiya screamed as she hit the wall. Itachi stood still.

"Who are you?" he growled.

"I'm his sister dumbass!"

"Then you're dead!" Naruto leaned Sasuke against the wall.

"Yeah. No shit." Naiya rolled her eyes.

"I put chakra into a seal so when Sasuke awakened his second-comma Sharingan, I would be there to guide him, alive or dead. But yeah, I can still feel pain." she rolled her eyes and cracked her shoulder back into place.

"My time is limited. Now, if you'll excuse me, Uzumaki-gaki."

"How do you know me?" he asked.

"A) when I was alive, I met you at Ichiraku a couple times.

B) I was there when you were born, your otou-chan was my sensei. We've been over this." she rolled her eyes at his naïvete.

"So who is my dad?" he asked.

"Ask Jiraiya-sensei." Naiya's "spirit" stuck her tongue out at the Sannin, who turned red now that everyone was looking at him.

"Good seeing you, Jiraiya-san." she grinned.

Naruto stared at the Sannin, as if begging to know who his father was.

"In due time, Naruto-chung." he patted the blonde's head.

"Now, my time's about up. It was nice seeing you, Sasuke-kun." Naiya leaned down and kissed Sasuke on the cheek.

"And you, Itachi. I'll never forgive you for killing me!" she thumped his forehead and winked. He did all he could to not laugh at how overboard his nee-san was going with the "I'm dead." act. It was quite funny.

"And you, Hoshigaki Kisame, keep him in line." she directed her furious glare at the Samehada wielder.

"Got it." he chuckled.

"Toad's belly prison!" Jiraiya suddenly yelled, and smashed the ground with his hand. The hallway turned into a toad's belly. Naiya, Kisame, and Itachi were held fast in the goop.

"Goodbye..." Naiya pretended to fade again. With a jutsu, she did a substitution, sparkles and dust fell in a heap where she stood, like she died again.

"Go, Kisame." Itachi was giving the order to flee.

"Yeah."

Itachi Amaterasu'd the living shit out of the wall.

"Naiya, why did you follow me?" he cursed silently.

"Sasuke, have you woken up?" it was Tsunade, she had healed him.

"Is she...?" he asked.

"Yes, Sasuke. Naiya is dead. I know you loved her and all... but she was confirmed dead. The particles left behind were confirmed to be that of a chakra revival, meaning she planned this the night of her murder. You won't be seeing your sister any time soon." Tsunade sighed.

"Get some rest, and lay back. You've got a bad head injury and that's why everything's so foggy. We have a psychologist standing by, if you need anything or just want to talk, call for Shizune-san." Tsunade squeezed his hand.

"We'll help you through this."

So how was it? I was happy with how it turned out. I started Chapter 9 about 10 minutes ago. But I have to finish that and start ten before I'll upload. This'll take some time. I don't try to blow you all off. ^_^ Later!
