Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto…such a depressing thought
Hey people sorry I didn't update in a while, but have no fear this fic is still ongoing!!
Lol read and Enjoy!
The worksite was buzzing with activity and full of life, a series of orders were shouted at the employees over all the clatter and clamor of the construction happening in the surroundings. Two males stood side by side together on the far side of the incomplete bridge, the male on the right had his hands folded behind his wild golden hair, he looked up at the sky watching the clouds drifting by. While the male on the left had his arms folded across his chest watching the employee's scrambling around the bridge hurrying to get to their destinations, rushing to get the job done.
Sasuke had a passive expression fixed into his features, using all his strength and focus on ignoring the blond next to him, said blond had noticed the older boys odd behavior and got curious, then annoyed this had been going on since they had left the house and Naruto was getting frustrated. Tilting his head he leaned down a bit to get a better look at the ravens face, noticing the action Sasuke turned away completely, giving Naruto a full view of his back. A vein popped on the blonds head his brow twitched uncontrollably as he continued to stare at Sasuke's back
"What's wrong with you?! You've been like this since we left Tazuna's house"
The older male didn't so much as twitch, let alone acknowledge his existence, Naruto fumed as another vein popped into place next to the first one, the blond had, had enough, he made to grab the others shoulder in order to make the boy face him, but the raven had beaten him too it. Naruto suddenly found himself breaking out a sweat as he gazed into Sasuke's glare, which would freeze even the core of the earth. Yes, if looks could kill Naruto would already have been beaten, left for dead then brought back to life only to be cloned have his clones beaten and then killed along with himself and the being left to rot below the seven levels of hell where even the bravest of demons would not dare venture.
Letting go of Sasuke's shoulder like touching him had burned through his hand, he put both hands out before him using them to act as a shield between himself and the glaring…thing he was facing. Backing away ever so slowly he said "Uhm…L-Le-Leaf. Shoulder. Take. Off…Uhm….I'll go over there now" Naruto rushed over towards the other side of the bridge, leaning over the rail he gasped searching for the breath that was knocked out of him from Sasuke's killing intent.
Glancing back at the teen he found his team mate engulfed in flames of fury the sheer killer intent rolling off of him in waves was enough to set the employee's in a state of frenzy. Some scampered away from the teen others shook struggling to breath trying to get away from the crazed teen, while others stood back and watched in awe at the young genin.
'What is with him?! It's like it's that time of the month already…Oh My GOD! Sasuke's a PMSing girl that gets it twice as hard as normal girls!!"
"Are you really that stupid? And here I thought you had grown that thing you call a brain….it seems I was mistaken" Naruto jumped at the familiar sound of the demons voice, he chuckled nervously at the glaring raven who gave him a curious glance before reverting back to trying to glare a hole through his head.
'What do you mean? What did I do?'
Kyuubi chuckled before continuing "I love it how you instantly assume that you have done something wrong, and what I mean is that the Uchiha doesn't appreciate what's happened between you and him this morning"
Chibi Naruto stood before the beast and its cage, a blank and confused expression on his face, the fox demon fought down the urge to hit his forehead with his paw.
'What happened this morning?' Not being able to stop himself Kyuubi smacked his forehead, glancing down at the oblivious young male before him before sending him into his recent memory
(Flashback no Jutsu!)
Naruto and Sasuke's lips were just centimeters away from each other, not to mention the fact that Naruto was completely and utterly naked under the towel, which wasn't doing a very good job of covering him right now. Everything was silent before Naruto groaned
"Damn it Sasuke I know I'm attractive but couldn't you wait until after Kakashi was out of the room? Or were you waiting for a threesome?"
Sasuke blushed crimson before smashing Naruto's head through the floor, getting up and stomping off into the bathroom.
(End Flashback no Jutsu!)
'Oh you can't be serious, he's getting worked up over something as little as this….I mean I would understand if Sakura had reacted this way …but Sasuke?! I'm disappointed, I for one thought he would be better then this'
"Kit, look at this from his perspective, not only did you humiliate him in front of his Jounin sensei and make him blush, most likely humiliating him further, but you also have to take into account that the Uchiha had the pride and ego is thrice the size of the Hokage monument. And for you to go and do something like this is one thing that a person brought up believing in all the Uchiha beliefs and learning there customs can not tolerate."
Naruto mulled over the foxes words, slowly he nodded his head understanding,
'So then…what should I do?'
Kyuubi gave him a blunt look "How the hell should I know?" Naruto gawked at the demon before him, the blond chibi rose to his feet pointing at Kyuubi as he shouted
'What do you mean you don't know!? Aren't you helping me?!' Kyuubi howled and roared in laughter, his voice echoing away into the darkness. However the deep rumbles ceased, as the fox saw the seriousness on the blond's features, his expression softened
"You are serious"
Naruto nodded
"Well in that case" Kyuubi rolled on the floor of the cavern howling in laughter harder then before, beating his paw on the ground, causing water to wash over chibi Naruto, whose brow twitched, popping a vein he gritted his teeth and shouted
"STUPID MUTATED RABBIT!"
Silence lingered in the atmosphere of the construction site, all eyes turned and landed on the poor blond boy who was blushing crimson at his own stupidity a breeze blew by as the silence continued. Inside his cave kyuubi rolled howling and gasping for breath trying to keep his gut from bursting because of all the laughter, mentally cursing the fox with every swear he knew Naruto cleared his throat and laughed nervously "Uhm..I-I mean…I think it's time for lunch?" Sasuke and Tazuna sweatdropped at the obvious cover-up
"Tch, that idiot no one would fall for that" Sasuke muttered crossing his arms in front of his chest, Tazuna nodded in agreement, but stopped mid-way as he saw his workers following the young blond towards a resting area on the bridge all the while they took out their lunches. Both Sasuke and Tazuna face vaulted, regaining their composure the raven turned to the older man and said bluntly
"You're workers are a herd of idiots"
"What did I ever do to deserve thi-" Tazuna's eyes widened before he turned away with a small blush on his features he moved his hand in font of his mouth clearing his throat
"never mind"
Sasuke raised a brow a small sweat-drop on the back of his head, sighing he made his way over to his blond teammate.
Meanwhile Naruto congratulated himself on his awesome cover-up story, not only did he get out of an extremely uncomfortable situation but he also got to eat lunch earlier too! Yeah, he was a true genius
"Hey genius, why not tell me what you were trying to cover up?"
Freezing, Naruto broke out a sweat as the recognizable voice of a cocky raven floated to the side of his ears, turning ever so slowly he faced the familiar features of his black haired teammate "eh? What do you mean Sasuke?"
"'…Not only did I get out of a extremely uncomfortable situation I also got a free lunch out of it, I'm a genius!' is what you just said, so what were you trying to cover up?" Sasuke asked crossing his arms.
'Oh for fucks sake! Didn't I already get out of the habit of speaking my thoughts?!'
"Apparently not dobe, start talking"
"Fucking bullocks"
Glancing at his teammate one more time he ran through every possible excuse that didn't lead to a dead end. Sighing he slumped in defeat as his tiny brain could not capture an excuse he could have used, composing himself he folded his arms across his chest and looked directly into Sasuke's onyx eyes
"Sasuke, what I am about to tell you, you must not breath word to for the rest of your days until I say otherwise" his facial expression serious calm, composed, one of authority. And definitely a facial expression that caught Sasuke's attention, giving Naruto a wary look he nodded firmly. Naruto only sighed once more before looking at Sasuke and then his face dropped into a mixture of horror and disbelief he shouted while pointing behind the raven
"Oh my god! It's Itachi!!"
Needless to say Sasuke turned so fast he could have gotten whiplash, his eye witched however when he saw an empty space, turning face his teammate his facial expression turned to one of rage as he saw a little golden blur in the horizon. Swearing death upon his teammate he went back to guarding the bridge.
Now when Naruto cried out Itachi's name he wasn't lying entirely, the older raven was in the area just not behind Sasuke, and it was towards Itachi's exact location that he was currently heading. Zooming past the tree's he jumped on the heavily hooded figure before him and engulfed him into a bear hug
"ITA-CHAN!"
The cheerful blond suddenly found a kunai to his throat in mere milliseconds "Naruto-kun, I'm forever grateful to what you've done for me so far, however, please refrain from ever doing that again otherwise I will have your head as a decoration for my wall"
Naruto glanced blankly at the kunai before looking at Itachi and back again, the blonds face fell into one that would have looked like a toddler being deprived of is favorite toy. He sent the look straight at Itachi, who kept his cool, he had enough practice with his little brother, ignoring this look was like a second nature to him still. Naruto noticing this pouted before releasing the older male
"Naw, you're no fun Ita-chan"
The Uchiha snorted, before putting away the kunai, Naruto seated himself under the shade of a nearby tree he folded his hands behind his head and turned expectantly at Itachi. "So what have you called me out for?"
Itachi considered the blond, his face giving away nothing his eyes however gave away his uncertainty. The genin raised a brow,
"Akatsuki is making its move to infiltrate all Jinchuriki"
A silence rang out throughout the forest, Naruto's face upturned into a frown, sitting up straight he linked his hands in front of his face resting his elbows on top of his crossed legs. "They're moving earlier then expected" Itachi only nodded stiffly, watching the blond with interest. Shaking himself out of his trance, Naruto shot a grin at Itachi
"I've still got time, plus we got you on our side right now, so it won't be as much a problem as in the original timeline."
"No"
Naruto turned confused "eh?"
"I have not been assigned to go after the Kyuubi no Yoko Jinchuriki, Deidara and Sasori will be going after you"
"Eh?"
"Kisame and I have been assigned to go after the Ichibi no Shukaku Jinchuriki"
"Eh?!!"
Itachi nodded at Naruto's confused state, he himself was confused. Naruto rummaged his thoughts trying to think up a solution to this, yet stopped mid-way, this was actually turning out better then planned
"Keep it that way"
Itachi turned more confused then ever "What?"
"Keep hunting Shukaku, just don't hurt or capture him, I'll also be able to keep the other Jinchuriki away from the rest of the Akatsuki members. I'll be able to take care of Sasori and Deidara" Naruto chuckled "I'll show them the art of pranks, those two won't know what hit them"
Itachi sweatdropped as he watched Naruto laughing at his own little fantasies, clearing his throat he caught the blonds attention who stopped and stared blankly
"What are you still here for? Hurry up and skedaddle I'm a busy person you know"
Itachi sweatdropped again, finding it quite ironic that he, the man that massacred one of the most prestigious clans in the shinobi world in less then one night, was taking orders from a genin. Sighing he pondered what happened to the world when the little gold of sunshine entered the world, the older raven nodded before turning to head off
"Wait! I've been meaning to ask you something"
Itachi turned waiting questioningly and face vaulted at the sight of the blond who lifted rocks, searched behind and uprooted trees, looking through bushes, all the while asking "Ita-chan, Where is shark-chan?" Itachi was trying to recompose himself after he face vaulted. Glancing towards the blond who was still searching he shook his head and said in an utterly defeated tone "He's five miles from here under the influence of Tsukuyomi, although it's wearing off and taking its toll on my body, I need to go"
Naruto nodded, understanding, this could prove to be a problem in the future, if Akatsuki caught onto Itachi's overuse of his Mangekyo Sharingan then they would start to get suspicious and a suspicious powerful underground missing-nin organization poking around into his business was the last thing he needed. He was going to have to find a solution for this problem, he gave one last nod and goodbye to Itachi before he made his way towards Tazuna's house. His shift wasn't over but if Akatsuki was moving faster then he would need to be prepared for any other changes in the time-line.
Sakura was going to get one hell of a training session, he wasn't letting her go until she mastered everything he had planned for her, that way when he got back to Konoha, she would have already mastered the basics and more, so all he would have to do is get someone to push her into everything else. Then it was straight onto Sasuke and water walking after that he was going to hand him over to the scarecrow and make sure that he drills him to the ground, pride or no pride. It was finally time to get serious. But first, he really needed to prank someone, and he could see a silver lining in the distance.
How was it? Good? No good? Shit? "OMG THAT WAS THE MOST IDIOTIC THING I"VE READ IN YEARS!"?
review and let me know =D
Shika XD
