Chapter Six: Return Home
A/N: Wow I got a lot of reviews hopefully everything will be cleared up. Give me a little credit, I have a plan and plan on explaining everything. See not at bottom for those that are concerned he is too powerful.
Flashback One Year Ago
Kisame busted open the door wiping a bit of blood that was trickling down his lip. "We've got a problem." He paused looking at everyone in the meeting, "Someone took Naruto, I was jumped and when I woke up they were gone."
Itachi jumped up, "What! What do you mean he's gone? We have to go after them." He started towards the door.
"Uchiha, sit down." The man covered in shadows called out.
Itachi whirled a round and faced the man he called boss, "What do you mean we have to go get him."
"Sit down." The man's voice held a tone of finality that you just didn't cross.
The fourteen-year-old Uchiha sat back in the chair looking at his leader demanding an answer.
"We will not go after him." He spoke as if it was the only answer.
Itachi jumped out of his seat again. Kisame looked about ready to fall over still standing in the doorway and Deidara was crushing the pen in his hand.
"Sit down, and calm down. This is supposed to happen. I knew it was going to happen and we shall not stop it."
Kisame took a step forward, "What the hell are you talking about, we need that kid."
The leader lifted up his hand demanding silence, "He will come back to us. This has all been predicted and we shall not mess with fate. We will wait till it is our turn to play our cards."
Itachi was not at all pleased with this answer and was clutching to the table in front of his to contain his anger.
"You are all dismissed." He walked as they started leaving the room, "And Uchiha, if you try anything I will have you put under lockdown."
"Yes sir." Itachi said before walking out of the room and to the training room to let of some steam.
Present Time
Kimimaro looked down at the paper again before adjusting the sleeping boy on his shoulder. The antidote to the drug he was given securely in his pocket.
He was currently standing in front of a mountain that he was supposedly supposed to enter. The bone user raised an eyebrow tacking a step closer and looking around.
Kimimaro stepped back when a plant seemed to pop out of the ground. Then he saw a head and noticed it was a strange person.
"State your business or die." The plant like man spoke.
"I am here to make a delivery. Is there a passage through this mountain?" The white haired boy spoke.
"Delivery?" Zetsu asked before noticing the blonde boy on the others shoulder. The two voices were having a battle inside his head. "Follow." He spoke before opening the door in the mountainside and walking in.
Kimimaro followed adjusting the boy on his shoulder. They walked through a hallway and stopped at a large door.
Zetsu opened it and walked into the meeting room.
"I demand we do something! It has been over a year, he could be dead. I keep saying this, something has to be done."
"Itachi, calm down. Yes Zetsu?" He turned his attention to the man standing in the door.
"A person has come to see you sir." He stepped aside letting the bone user enter the room before melting into the ground and going back on watch.
"Yes?" The man in shadows asked the boy at the door.
"I have a delivery for you."
Kisame eyed the boy and then looked at the blonde hair that was hanging from over his shoulder, "N...Naruto?"
Itachi turned around to face the door and then his eyes went wide. "Who is that?" He asked pointing to the boy on Kimimaro's shoulder.
The white haired boy set the blonde on the ground, "His name is." He looked down at the paper in his hands, "Naruto. I was told that there would be people here waiting for him."
Itachi jumped up and looked the blonde over, he looked fine except he was asleep. He then turned and glared at the bone user. He shoved the boy against the wall, "Where was he! What did you do to him? Why did you take him?"
"I am sorry sir, I don't know what you are talking about." He moved his hand down to his pocket and pulled out a letter, "Here."
Itachi grabbed it and went to read it when the leader coughed and Itachi handed it to him before leaning over the sleeping blonde. "What's wrong with him?"
"He is just asleep, here." Kimimaro pulled out a syringe and opened the cap injecting Naruto with the antidote. "He'll wake up in an hour or so."
The man in the shadows 'hm'ed to get everyone's attention, "It seems he has been staying with an old acquaintance, Orochimaru. I have a list here of experiments and enhancements that were made on him. He says here he will return to get him when the time is right." He set the letter down, "However we will not let that happen. Like I said before, it is now our turn to play our cards. Itachi, take the boy back to his room he may need medical attention, but it looks as though everything is sound. Report to me when he wakes up."
"Yes sir." Itachi nodded and picked up Naruto before making his way out of the room.
Kimimaro stood with his hands at his sides and his head slightly bowed, "Sir, it is my observation that you are not working with Orochimaru-sama, but are indeed enemies."
"Yes, it would seem so." The leader of the group spoke, "You can tell your master when you return that he shall not have the boy."
"Sir, I may be out of place, but I request to stay. If you could make it look like I am dead, that there was a battle and I was killed this day and let me stay. I do not wish to return to the man that took everything from me. Please, I can be of great service to you."
The man evaluated the boy in front of him. It was true the boy could be of service, he was part of the Kaguya clan after all. "Alright, I will see to it that it happens and you may stay. However, if you do stay, you will be working for me. If you betray me I will not hesitate in killing you."
"Yes sir, thank you." The white haired boy bowed. Deidara, who was assigned to get a place for him to stay, then led him out of the room.
Itachi looked over when he heard the blonde stirring and waking up. He hopped to his feet and made his way over to the bed.
Naruto blinked his eyes opened and looked around. He caught the sight of Itachi and screamed.
"Are you okay? What's wrong? Are you hurting?" The dark haired boy was in frenzy; he had looked fine and then just starting screaming like he saw a ghost.
"You're dead…I saw you die. You're not real, you're not real." The smaller boy closed his eyes tight and started shaking his head. He thought he was done with the nightmares where he had to see the ones he loved die all over again.
"I'm not dead, don't worry I'm here. I really am." Itachi was at a loss; he didn't expect the boy to think him dead.
"No, no, no, not real, not real." Naruto kept shaking.
The older boy grabbed the smaller one by his shoulders and gave him a shake, "Look at me."
When Naruto complied, his eyes meet those of the Mangekyou Sharingan; he then went limp falling back on the bed.
Itachi watched as the past year of the blonde boy's life played in front of his eyes. He now knew why the boy had thought him dead. He also had another reason to hate the snake like man.
The dark haired boy closed his eyes and made hand seals still inside the younger ones mind. He knew this was the only way, but still didn't feel all to good about doing it. He was going to seal the memories away and create a false memory to make up for the time.
Itachi evaluated the door he had now created and locked away in the boys mind. It looked in order and it should stay locked away. He turned and began to leave when he caught the sound of deep breathing and walked towards it.
The teen stopped in front of giant metal bars where there was a red glow. "Kyuubi, come out."
Giant red eyes opened and evaluated the very small in comparison boy in front of him. "What are you doing here?"
"I have a proposition for you."
"I'm not interested. Now go away I am tired." He was in fact very tired; it had taken a lot out of him to keep his host alive through all the testing and DNA warps. He just wanted to settle down and nap for the next few years.
"I can give you some freedom if you comply."
The fox opened up one of the eyes he had closed intent on sleep, "Oh yeah?"
"Yes. If you make it where the memories I have currently sealed do not awaken and that the boy stays mentally well, then I can give you the freedom be out of that cage." Itachi knew it wasn't smart to make a deal with a demon, but he had to make sure the blonde's mind didn't snap from all of the distress.
"Exactly how free?"
Itachi focused and made some hand seals to mold the mind he was in. When he was done standing in front of him was a man. The man has blood red hair and matching red eyes. He was wearing a midnight black tux with a white tie. On the tie was the kanji for seal.
Kyuubi looked at his hands and then around the room taken in how different it looked without the cage. There was a bed in the middle of the room and what looked to be a mirror on the wall, besides that the room was quite plain and still smelt as if it had just rained.
"That is all the freedom I can give you. You are still confined to this room, but you can move about freely. You also have to window to see through your holder's eyes if you so wish." He added motioning towards the mirror. "However you cannot speak with him unless he comes here. So, do we have a deal?"
The fox looked over the room again then the much younger boy in front of him, "I suppose. Now get out of here, I want to sleep."
Itachi gave a nod before leaving Naruto's mind.
Itachi sat at the end of the bed leaning his head against the wall waiting for the blonde to wake up again. He was tired after entering and changing the boy's mind, but he needed to see that his official little brother was going to be okay.
Bright blue eyes blinked open and looked around, "Aniki!" He jumped up and practically tackled the older boy. "I missed you o much! How did I get back? I was lost and I didn't know where to go, but now I am here. Was it all a dream?"
The dark haired boy sighed in relief and hugged the smaller boy in his arms. "I missed you too. No, it wasn't a dream. A boy found you and brought you here. Everything's all right now. You are back and I'm not going to let anything happen." He was happy that it worked, but even happier that the younger boy was back. "No, I am not going to let anything happen to you Oto, you're safe now."
A/N: Okay for those that think he is too powerful! Yes he was given nine new abilities and I shall list them for those that are confused.
Byakugan:
– Ability to see 360 degrees; can see Chakra points.
However, cannot use the Juryken (sp?) fighting style, because he has no one to teach him that style. Therefore he cannot close Chakra points like Neji or Hinata.
Saisei:
-The ability to regenerate cells.
-This basically does nothing; since he already has the nine tailed healing power.
-However, if someone managed to remove an arm or leg it could grow back.
-This does not however work if the brain in separated from the heart, then he would die.
Bone Manipulation:
-Bones are unbreakable.
-However since there were complications with this experiment and he had to have the transplant he cannot remove his bones like Kimimaro.
Mastery of Water and Ice:
-Can stop any water or ice based attack; Can manipulate water.
-However he cannot form demonic ice mirrors like Haku, or any of the other advanced attack moves, because no one has taught him and he has never seen it done.
Sharingan:
-Can copy every Nin, Gen, and Tai Jutsu seen by it; can see through illusions
-Basically all of the fully developed Sharingan abilities without Mangekyou (That's the advanced form Itachi has)
Dakkyuu:
-Can dislocate every joint in his body.
-Like the guy that fought versus Kankuro in the preliminaries.
Isseigen:
-Can 'eat' another person's Chakra
-Like the guy that fought versus Sasuke in the preliminaries
-However this is currently dormant and he cannot use it at all.
Gills:
-Can breath underwater
-His skin becomes water resistant, but does not become as strong as steel like Isaribi.
-With this he is able to use some of the Jutsu that Kisame uses and teaches him. (Later on)
Akachouka:
-Can hide Chakra points and create them in inanimate objects creating a false human.
-Said in the anime to be the Byakugan's worst enemy.
-Can see anything: through walls, can read emotions; can tell if a person is dead or unconscious just by looking at them.
-Basically everything that Ranmaru could do, however this ability is not used for offensive, but mainly defensive.
Drawbacks:
-If he uses all three of his eye abilities at once then after he stops using them he will be temporarily blind. How long he is blind depends on how long he was using all three.
-There is always a possibility that his bones will start degenerating again, because they are not his own, however this is unlikely since the virus was 'eliminated'.

Okay are we good, any questions about the new abilities? All right and there will be a pairing But that doesn't come into play until Naruto is older. Leave a comment and tell me what you think.
