Oh jesus. Yes I realize it has been 3 years since I last updated this story but I looked in to this again and decided to continue. Hopefully my writing style has gotten better. I sincerely apologize to the the people who were waiting to read this all those years ago. D: Hope you enjoy the new installment.

Disclaimer: Naruto and all of it's chars. Do NOT belong to me. They belong to the great and mighty Masashi Kishimoto, and I thank him very greatly for making Naruto


In situations such as these...

What do we really want to do...

How do we know we picked the right the choice...

We will never know.


"I know what you are thinking Naruto..."

"What are you talking about?"

The two slowly walked back to the room.

Itachi walking at an unusual slow pace.

"Don't act stupid. We both know who Orochimaru's vessel is."

"So..."

Naruto knew where the older Uchiha was going with this.

The vessel of Orochimaru was his friend and his lover.

Naruto kept on questioning himself in the back of his mind.

What was he to do?

Would he save the kids that were still faithful to his village.

Or would he kill them off to satisfy his own selfish desires.

"It would be best if you just kill him. You'll find another lover, like you have now."

Naruto roared angrily and threw a punch directed at Itachi's face.

Itachi quickly dodged the blonde boy's punch, with Naruto's fist hitting the wall instead of his destined target.

A deep concave mark was made upon the wall, Naruto heavily huffing as he used all his strength into that punch.

"I didn't choose you as a partner! You tied me up and used me like I was your own! I will never replace Sasuke with the likes of you!"

A smirk danced on Itachi's lips as he enjoyed the over reaction of the kyuubi boy.

Itachi leaned in next to Naruto's ear.

"We'll see..."

Itachi backed away and ducked under Naruto's arm and proceeded to walk to their destination.

Naruto slowly let his arm fall back down by his side.

/It will be you that see's, not me./

Despairingly Naruto trudged behind Itachi.

They entered the room and they both began to pack for the long journey that awaited them.

"Hey hey! You two ready!?"

The blonde akatsuki member popped his head in through the door looking between Itachi and Naruto.

Itachi looked at Deidara and began to walk out the door with Naruto walking behind him.

"Let's hurry and get this over with. Me and Sasori have a mission together after this one."

"Be patient Deidara. This mission will be over before you know it."

"Cheh. It better be."

They emerged outside and they began to run in the direction of the sound village.

Naruto contemplated to himself throughout his travel.

/What am I going to do?/


Sorry this is so short for my returning chapter, and that there isn't a Sasuke POV. But I swear to you next week Sasuke POV will be the first thing up :]

Thanks again for everyone's support :D
