"Talking"
Thinking (you may have to decide what is emphasis and what is thinking but I'll assume smartness on your parts)
Japanese (when not in Naruto verse-its too hard)
Kyuubi speaking
'Beast-speaking' (may be hard to tell apart from kyuubi but please do try to dissociated)
Sarutobi sat in his office, a glint of humour dancing in his hat-shadowed eyes, as the people across from him made a racket. Iruka and Kakashi were yelling for search parties and an all manner of things to save the kitsune vessel, which was pointless, but sweet. The rest were yelling that the 'demon' had escaped and needed to either be put on the missing nin list or be reclaimed as their weapon, heading this was, unsurprisingly, Danzo. The main part of the ninja clans were rather impassive and were trying to keep the civilian counsel under control.
"Silence!" He yelled, just to make sure they could hear him. "Now, Naruto hasn't been kidnapped, he has been taken by the bodyguard I chose to the medical facility."
"But Hokage-sama, he could have taken Naruto during the day or let him say goodbye!"
"The shinobi I sent with Naruto doesn't wish to be known, but rest assured he will protect the boy with his life."
"Who cares if the demon dies?" One of the more outspoken civilians bellowed, only to be shot down with many icy glares.
"Naruto is a ninja of the leaf and has a right to medical treatment when the need arises." Sarutobi also wanted to add the words 'Naruto has the potential to become one of the most powerful shinobi ever seen in Konoha and being the son of your late Yondaime Hokage ingrates!', but knowing the political problems it would throw Konoha into he just about kept it too himself.
"What is being done about team 7?" Danzo murmured in perfectly audible clarity. I really need to work out how he does that The Sandaime mused as the civilian council started to get riled up once more.
"Yes what about the Uchiha!"
"He has to be in the next chunnin exams!"
"It is unfair to let something as stupid as that 'demon' to affect the boy's shinobi career." Sarutobi sighed.
"We have worked out an approach to that. Kakashi will be training the genin still remaining on team 7, Naruto's bodyguard will also be training him in the facility, Naruto will be able to return for the chunnin exams to allow team 7 to participate." He put through a finality in his voice to stop any counter arguments to begin. It worked just as well as it did on his wayward grandchild.
The meeting was disbanded.

(2 days later somewhere on the borders of Iwa and Suna)
"-and so that's the whole story." Finished the small blond as he hung onto the back of the masked ninja who was running along the cliff side of a valley that dug for several miles between two of the five shinobi nations.
"Naruto-"
"Yeah Itachi-senpai?" The mask turned just fractionally so that the ninja's masked face looked straight at the boy.
"When I said from the beginning I didn't mean from when you could first remember in detail." The blond had been talking non-stop since he'd asked that damnable question.
"Well you could have said stop Itachi." Naruto pouted as the ninja stopped, dropped the boy and turned fully on him.
"Naruto I tried about fifty times in the first ten minutes of you starting the story before giving it up as a hopeless cause." Naruto scratched the back of his head in an embarrassed fashion, readjusting his sunglasses as the bright light got to his eyes around the skewed shades.
"Gomenesai Itachi." The man just rolled his eyes and started to walk, the blond instantly got to his feet and followed. Sensing that the child was keeping pace Itachi sped up until they were running at a slightly slower pace to what he'd been running only a moment ago.
"So where are we going Itachi-senpai?" Naruto intoned after a few minutes of silence. "I know that I need to get a wand from a shop across the rift, but where do we need to go to do that."
"We're not just going to get a wand Naruto, you will also be attending school there. With your cousin." The blond was silent for only a few seconds, unsure if he'd heard right through the rags he'd stuffed in his ears.
"That doesn't tell me where we are going."
"Using the map your contact sent in one of his letters and the knowledge we attained the Hokage has managed to find a route that will be... interesting."
"I don't like the way you said interesting."
"We'll be arriving in a place called China and we'll have to travel south to something called an airport to get an airplane to where the school is situated. There we will be met by a representative of the school." He said those three words as though he was chewing them; they fell out in lumpy sounding syllables. Naruto raised an eyebrow to this before shaking it off.
"You know, if oji-san had just let me wake up I would've been able to tell him that I only needed a wand and I would be back to normal health.
"You would've still had to go to this school Naruto, having an untrained power is never good." Naruto nodded at Itachi's words, he knew more then anyone how badly things could turn if you couldn't control the power that you had.
-Flashback-no-jutsu!-
(5 years previously)
Naruto sat by the edge of the river, a frown of concentration on his face as he focused his chakra. Itachi had told him he'd meet him out here and he was training while he waited. It was almost evening now, but he'd managed to get his henge working properly thanks to it. A rustle from behind had him spinning round, a wide grin on his face.
"Itachi-senpai!" The grin vanished as he realised the figure was not Itachi.
"So it is true about the Uchiha heir and prodigy is protecting the demon spawn." An ugly smirk spread across the man's face, he looked a lot like Itachi in generalisation, but his eyes were hard and cold and he looked like a fatter paler copy of his protector and closest friend. An icy chuckle rippled through the stranger's throat. "Well this is useful, maybe I won't kill you just yet demon. Now you won't tell your Itachi-senpai about this or I may just slip about his 'relationship' with you." With that, and a kick to the boys stomach, he vanished into the trees. Naruto suppressed a shudder, sitting back down at the river. I can't tell Itachi-senpai, he'd be hated by everyone just like me if anyone found out. Not even his father knows about this. Naruto sat worrying his lip, trying to work out what to so.
(A few weeks later)
Itachi stood over the body of his dying friend.
"I guess I didn't see that one coming eh Itachi?" Shisui chuckled, coughing up blood as his lungs became flooded.
"Why did you attack me like that?" Itachi growled, trying not to let the pain and guilt leech into his voice. There'd been no chance to disable his friend, the only way to survive was to kill him, but it still ate at him.
"Why?" The ninja chuckled, the anger so prominent on his features only a few seconds before was gone. "I guess I had no real reason, just got angry at you. You, perfect Itachi, the heir of this clan and Konoha's genius shinobi. You who'd throw everything you had away for looking after the Kyuubi brat." A bare smile held the dying man's eyes closed for a while. "It's only now I realise the fool I've been." The eye's opened, charcoal once more, and stared into the dimming sky. "You've never liked your life, even me your 'closest friend' couldn't see the pain and resentment you held, it can only be logic the fact you look after the Uzumaki boy. Truthfully that, even without a personal reason, shouldn't be a problem, but even we with these 'superior' eyes Itachi can't see the truth in front of our noses. I guess he was just trying to get them on his side Itachi, I'm sorry I fell for it." With another smile he fell into a terrible coughing fit. Itachi watched, brow furrowed, someone knew that he was looking after Naruto, and was telling people about it. Naruto and he met only around the Uchiha compound, no one trespassed there, so it had to be from inside the walls. These thoughts were flung from his mind as pain seared through his retinas.
Itachi Uchiha was now a wielder of the Mangekyo sharingan.
(A week later)
Itachi stood on top of the telegraph pole looking out over the Uchiha residence, something smelt odd, metallic. Blood Itachi leapt down and ran for home, keeping his senses on high. Everywhere was heavily scented in blood, he saw splatters here and there, but no bodies. Reining in a shudder he ran to his home, to see something he couldn't have expected.
"Tsuskue?" He stared at the Uchiha, who was standing in their parent's room, soaked with blood and crushing his brother's neck in one hand. A malevolent smirk as he cut off the boy's air supply.
"An-i-ki" Sasuke gasped out.
"Ah so the prodigy has finally arrived!" cackled the crazed Uchiha. "Good thing to, I was getting bored."
"What did you do?" Itachi glared at him, activating his Sharingan at the one who'd decimated his family.
"Why Itachi!" Tsuskue sneered, "You look angry! It's not my fault, Itachi-baka, they weren't listening to me." He dropped Sasuke who crumpled to the floor, gasping heaving breaths of air.
"I-ta-chi, h-he he killed, he killed, all of them aniki." A foot connected with the child's stomach.
"Shut it brat! They deserved it! I should be the clan heir! I can lead this clan to heights it's never seen before. But a week ago they turned their backs on me! Even when I told them how stupid and disgusting your an-i-ki was! This is the only way I can ensure my place as head of the clan!" Itachi blinked, even as a seasoned ANBU his brain couldn't process the information. One thing stuck in his mind.
"You." The temperature in the room dropped, the two turned to Itachi, who's head was facing the floor. Sasuke shook, even when Itachi had been really angry with their father he hadn't talked like this. Tsuskue just held his face in a manic grin, thinking he'd broken the Uchiha prodigy. Now all I need to do is change the brat's memories so that I am the hero once I defeat that stuck-up fake! Itachi's head rose with a roar of unadulterated rage.
The two were caught in Itachi's Manegekyo Sharigan.
-End Flashback-
Naruto cast a glance at Itachi, though he hid his emotions well the blond jinchuriki could see the pain and guilt he harboured over the death of his clan, as well as the mental instability of his brother. Itachi had passed out using it so there was no knowing what the two were submitted to. Sasuke only got a backlash as the sole thing was directed at Tsuskue. He'd never woken.
With Itachi sent on a mission, thanks to the rumors spreading that he had killed the clan, that took him to the heart of an organisation threatening Konoha and all the other elemental countries. It had also given him the time and resources to find out who else had been behind the massacre, the Uchiha wasn't stupid, Tsuskue had been an Uchiha sure but nothing above ordinary and a whole clan would've easily decimated a rouge. Now all he needed was to kill-
"Hey Itachi." The man turned to Naruto. "Aren't you on a mission right now?"
"The Hokage called me back, also once at the school I'll take regular visits back here to make sure the high durability clone I created hasn't collapsed. Also Kisame is covering for me." Naruto nodded, wondering slightly who Kisame was, and they continued to run along the ridge.
