I was sleeping peacefully(Note there is sarcasm actually in that 'peacefully') when I realized... It's Monday lol so I nearly forgot to update UT... here you go guys! I caught this up to the other stories so now it can be updated weekly. And I kinda think come June you guys will be like "whaaa!" lol anyway... UT

Note from April 26th: I am Currently going through all my currently posted stories and checking spelling mistakes, missing information and everything of that category. I am working on the chapter that are still in the "Doc Manager" Area so I do not have to worry about them after I remove them. This will allow me to update the current chapters to stories that I have already checked. This does not effect when stories are updated at all.

Thank You.

"You are right." My eyes went wide. "Wha…"

"It took me a while to recover… but I never wanted to answer them on Akuma. You are right though… Because of her lack of chakra… her eyes are on a different form of a bloodline… one that lacks chakra. I noticed that it has been fading… her senses have been messed up, and it is because of that damn 'Dark Akuma'."

"This 'Dark Akuma'… is there a way to get rid of her?" he sighed. "There is a possibility… but… your Sharingan might not be strong enough… I don't think even Itachi's is either…" I frowned, feeling weak once again.

"Don't let it discourage you… Akuma has plans to help your sharingan." I stared at him. "Yes… it may seem odd that someone who does not have a Sharingan wants to help someone who does… but remember everyone she trained under… She wants us all to train together. She doesn't like the idea of any of us being separated due to any difference at all."

"How would we do this….? Jiraiya already came to Naruto and Akuma and told them it would be a 3 year training trip… the offer was not extended to me…" I trailed off, frowning.

"Do you remember how you were trained before?" a flashback caught me, remembering how Akuma would take us to Kyuubi's cage and train us there.

"I see… so even apart… we are together…" he nodded. "The Third also has a proposition with you… Akuma knows it… but Naruto doesn't…"

"What?"

"You are going to be sent to where Orochimaru's hideout is… that snake… he somehow escaped from the Konoha prison when Akuma was hospitalized. The instant she sustained that injury… the spell she had on him lifted and he escaped. His original plan was you…" I frowned.

"The risk of being near him is too great though!" he shook his head. "Akuma… she found a way to protect you from his seal… and the best part?" I nodded to him. "Akuma is going to create a smaller me… like a baby fox… for you to take with you." I nodded once more.

"And… it will have a teleportation jutsu latched on it… so any information, you can just feed it to me and Akuma can work from there… now there is a catch to this mission." I nodded. "You have to pretend to alienate yourself from the village."

"WHAT! I can't do that!" I quickly lowered my voice, almost forgetting about Akuma and Naruto.

"Akuma has your back… as does Tsunade, Jiraiya, and the Third. Everyone else is to think you betrayed the village… but don't worry… there is a plan… in 3 years… Akuma will come for you."

I stared down at the bedding. "Alright…" I got up from the bed, pulling out a backpack. I tossed it onto the bed then pulled out scrolls and clothes, and anything else I could think to pack.

"Akuma had a feeling you would leave as soon as you were told…" he nodded down to a small fox, which jumped on the bed then into my shirt. "That is still me… I am currently separated into two different beings… Akuma had always wanted to test this… now… I will go make a scene… we have to make it believable yakno?" I nodded, slipping the bag on. I walked out of the house, into the dead of night.

Akuma's POV

"Why? Why would Sasuke leave us like that?" Naruto shouted, eyes filled with tears. "Naruto… maybe the fact that we had nothing to offer… that hurt him?" Naruto shook his head. "No! We have always been a great team!"

"He went to Orochimaru…" the Third stated. "But I thought he was under the ANBU supervision in the jails!" Naruto shouted. I turned to him, sighing. "I was shocked to find out that he left too… but it is true… my spell I had on him faded, instantly allowing him to heal and make a break for it. Sasuke wanted power… what better choice than Orochimaru… someone who can work alone."

"But … why? I thought Sasuke gave up the idea of revenge!" I sighed, looking away. "Naruto… he could have been brain washed… something like that."

"No! I won't believe it! I'm going after him!" Naruto bolted out the door. "Naruto wait!" I sighed when Naruto was already gone.

'I'm sorry Naruto… but you can't know the truth… as much as I love you… you may mess up his mission…' I glanced over to the Third, who nodded to me.

"Old man… Naruto and myself… we are going to train under Jiraiya for three years… remember to keep the Hokage seat open for Naruto!" I saw a faint smile cross his old features as he nodded.

"Kakashi…" he looked over to me. "In 3 years… expect your students to be advanced." I smirked as I left the room.

†Break†

"Do you even know if he will come here today for training?" I looked up at Kyuubi, who seemed to be annoyed. "He told me he'd come here whenever he was able to… god you have a miniature form of you with him right now… you already relayed to me the things he's doing."

"But he's only come here to train 4 times in the past year." I stared up at Kyuubi. "He has to gain the trust of Orochimaru… Once he gains his freedom to do as he pleases he will be here more frequently."

"That's right." I looked up to see Sasuke smirking. I raised my brow at his outfit. "An opened shirt… and here I thought you were against the fangirls!"

"To get the damn snake to believe me I had to wear this opened black shirt and these baggy pants…" I stared up and down before laughing. "Shush it will you." I shook my head then stood up.

"Kyuubi has told me that you have a higher speed now and can wield a katana. Have you combined anything with that Katana yet?" he nodded. "The Chidori."

"Good good… I wonder how many other elements we can get you to use in that blade." I rubbed my chin in thought.

"So we are going to give me more elements?" I sighed, crossing my arms. "Well… you are a Sharingan user so you could learn from watching… I will need Kyuubi to help me on this, which is why we meet at his cage rather than a diff dimension."

"I think I can copy it from you if you give me the chance." I scrunched up my brows, contemplating. "Alright… we will use your Sharingan and see if it can copy things. We will start off with elements you already know… to make them stronger. Kakashi taught you the Chidori which is a lightning element… and your natural element is fire. After those two elements I would say the next best ones to learn would be wind and water… which right now, that is something Naruto is being trained for. So even if you aren't good with those… you will be fine because both Naruto and I specialize in wind and water."

"Speaking about Naruto… where is he?" Sasuke looked around. "We never told him that you are on a mission to infiltrate Orochimaru's hideouts… so right now he truly believes that you left… and to be honest, it is making him stronger because he has a strong need to bring you back."

"I guess that is for the better than… so the dobe doesn't mess up the mission… for him to think that it is true… he won't have to pretend." I nodded.

"Right now his belief is that he wasn't strong enough to save you… specially after he chased after you and collided with you at the Valley… you were a little rough with him so it made him truly believe you."

"Yeah… and it seemed like you remembered what I said about Naruto and myself not truly being able to die to your stuff. I noticed the upgrade in your eyes."

"He is alright though right? I was scared that he might not have woken up after that with serious injuries that put him near death." I shook my head. "Nah… when we reached Naruto he was already being healed by Kyuubi. He was only in the hospital for a few days before Jiraiya came to pick up both Naruto and me for training."

"What you did lead him to want to be stronger to protect everyone. It just so happens… that right before Naruto left the village, Sakura came running up to Naruto in tears, pleading for him to bring you back… when he failed his heart broke and he also realized that even though he likes Sakura a lot… that her eyes will always be on you. He isn't going to give up though, not on you and not on Sakura."

"I personally hope he doesn't end up with Sakura." I said, rubbing my forehead. "I would not want a pink haired Sister-in-law who has a high pitched voice. I'd feel bad for the children."

"The children? Fuck, I'd feel bad for the entire village!" I stared at Sasuke before turning to Kyuubi. "Did he just…?"

"I think he just did…."

"The hell with you both… at least teach me something before I punch one of you."

"I want to see him punch you."

"You know what… so do I."

"God damn you both are worse than Naruto!" I started laughing, which caused the smile on Sasuke's face to break out.

Sasuke's POV

I looked up at the ceiling. "Sasuke-kun… Orochimaru-sama has more training ready for you." I glanced over to the door. "Hn." I heard a grunt before the person walked away. 'This feels more like hell…'

I turned my gaze back up to the ceiling as thoughts of team 7 came flooding my mind. 'As much as I started to sink into the darkness… those two…'

"We should go to the park then!" Naruto shouted, jumping up and down. "Tch… parks are for babies." Akuma turned around then grinned. "Well… according to my book… you are still a baby… 12 isn't a teen nor is it an adult… sooo you are a baby!"

"The hell I am, I'm more mature than you both. Neither of you are taking this serious are you? You could be training rather than playing." I watched as an emotion flashed through both their eyes.

"It may not be the training you are after… but you can build your stamina and endurance. You can 'play' in the park with us… but use chakra if you want to train." The two walked off, leaving me behind as they entered into the park.

"Tch as if…" I stared at the two as they turned everything into a match. I couldn't deny the fact that it looked fun. I sighed then sat down on the stairs that lead up to the park.

I heard footsteps behind me but ignored it. Oh how did I regret doing that. I felt myself pushed forward as two bodies collided into me, laughing.

"Common teme! Join us! No one should ever be left out!" Naruto said, laughing. His smile was as bright as the sun itself and his eyes as energized as the ocean. I snorted then looked to my side only to be met with Akuma's face. Her eyes were closed in a smile as her mouth was wide from joy.

"I said a park is for babies!" both of them grabbed onto me, dragging me up the stairs. "Then let's all be babies together!" they said together, laughing.

I stared up at the starry sky in silence. The night was finally silent once the dobe had stopped snoring. 'It's so calm…' my mind instantly went to thoughts of Itachi, making the anger in me start to rise.

"Ne… Sasuke! Why are you over here all by yourself?" I looked up to see Naruto walking over to me before he sat down. "Woah! Such a beautiful sky… it reminds me of a time when Akuma and me sat on the roof of our apartment and watched the stars."

"It is quite a nice night out." I looked over to see Akuma sitting down on my other side. She held out two cups, handing them to Naruto and me. "It's kind of chilly out so I thought you two might like the hot cocoa."

"Hey Akuma… do you remember what you told me that night on the roof?" I watched as a smile faintly crossed her face. "There is a star for each of us up there… every day a star falls… but it never is truly lost. There is many different colors of stars… it's like the people of this world… we all shine differently…"

"Like… that Orange star is me! That blue one next to the orange one is Sasuke and that red one is Akuma!" I looked up to where Naruto was pointing. "It might be that… you can see the orange one glowing so brightly! It's dreams must be wonderful… for it to shine so bright… and that blue star… oh how it tries to shine on its own… but it has both the orange star and the red star to make its light shine right."

"But that red star… it looks faded!" Naruto whined. I watched as Akuma's lips twitched as she stared at the stars. "Just like me… I am fading, but I have a blue star and an orange star to lead my way. You never know when I may fall… or the darkness will come for me."

"Ne, Sasuke! What is your dream?" I looked at Naruto then snorted, getting up. "To get away from your voice." I began walking but stopped. "That's not fair teme!" I heard running and felt Naruto's arm around my right arm, while another arm grabbed my left, throwing me off guard. "Maybe that silver star is Kakashi… felt like he was stalking us!" I looked up to see Kakashi smiling down at us in a tree above our camp.

"You could say that…" I mumbled.

I sighed, getting up from the bed, bringing my feet to the cold rocky surface of the floor. "Ne, Sasuke! What is your dream?"

'My Dream…' I grabbed my sandals and put them on before grabbing my katana. I reached for the door and smiled. 'My dream is to walk beside them once again… not behind them… but with them. To protect the Uzumaki's… to make Naruto's dream come true by pushing him further.'

I opened the door, walking into the hallway. 'Because… even my shining star can light up both of theirs. And those two… their light can guide me back to reality.'

Akuma's POV

Naruto fell to the ground, panting. "Can we take a break?" Naruto whined. "What about Sasuke?" Jiraiya asked, immediately getting Naruto up.

'He's worn out from training with me and Jiraiya… maybe he needs a few days rest…' I glanced over to Jiraiya. "Ne Jiraiya, Kyuubi says he's tired from Naruto borrowing chakra." As if on cue, Kyuubi flopped down on the ground, falling asleep.

'Why thank you Kyuubi.'

'Anytime… Him learning what Sasuke is learning is really wearing him out… but for him to do it for the past 2 years… you do have to give him credit.'

'I do Kyuubi… right now it's like those two are racing each other, without them really noticing.'

'Sasuke misses you two… he has been counting the days that it has been since he left…'

I frowned. 'It's not interfering with his training is it?'

'No… I've been watching that boy train… the things that the damn snake does to him… but he does his acting well… Orochimaru thinks Sasuke wants his power to get revenge on Itachi.'

I rolled my eyes. 'Apparently that snake doesn't know that Sasuke knows what happened that night… granted not all the details… but he knows enough that Itachi didn't kill the clan alone… and that he joined the Akatsuki to protect his brother and Konoha.'

'It's funny… I asked him how he's acting on revenge so well… and he goes "I pretend that snake bastard is my target of revenge… I replace his name with 'that damn brother' and he buys it each time" it is hysterical… if you had seen what he did when he told me… ah you would have been ROLLING!'

There was a long pause from Kyuubi before he sighed. 'I do want to know… did you ever give thought to what Sasuke asked you to…. The night before he left?' I glanced over to Kyuubi, whose eye was slightly open as he watched me.

'What Sasuke asked me…?' I frowned more.

'I got an idea… the day you go to get him… tell him your answer. I think it would be the most fitting moment…' I rolled my eyes as I walked off to the closest tree. I jumped in and leaned against it. 'Give it some thought kit… you have one more year…'

-AN-
