Let's just hurry and get on with it. It's early in the morning and I'm horribly bored.

Chapter 11 - Akatsuki
Naruto was bored. Completely and utterly bored. He had been wandering through the village for hours with nothing to do.
"It's that demon child," he heard a woman whisper.
"It's disgusting."
Naruto ignored them. He had given them too many changes in the past to hurt him. He continued to walk until he reached the outskirts of the village. He could hear the daily life of the village going on without him. He jumped into the closest tree and closed his eyes.
"Naruto! What are you doing up there?" Kiba called out from the ground. Naruto looked down and saw Kiba with Chouji and Hinata.
"Naruto-kun…" Hinata stammered. Naruto waved at them happily.
"Hey!" he called out. Kiba smiled, his pet Akamaru, was beside him. The dog had already grown up. Kiba could practically ride the dog as if he were a horse. Naruto smiled and jumped out of the tree. As usual, Chouji was eating a bag of chips and Hinata was blushing.
"You still haven't answered the question?" Kiba said.
"I was bored, so I was going to take a nap," he replied. Suddenly something in the forest caught Naruto's attention. The moment he spotted it, the figure darted out of view. Naruto's eyes narrowed and he chased after the intruder.
"Where are you going Naruto?" Kiba called out, but Naruto ignored him and continued to run until he was completely surrounded by the forest/
'Where are they?' he thought, referring to Akatsuki. He slowly took in the area he was in and tried to relax. Naruto heard a few branches snap and froze. He slowly closed his eyes. If he couldn't see the enemy them maybe he would be able to see them.
A presence to his left and right. They were moving quickly in circles, trying to confuse the fox demon.
'Sneaky bastards,' he thought darkly as he began to dodge arrows, shurinkans, and kunais. Naruto smirked, showing his fangs. He rushed deeper into the forest leading them away from the village. Once they were far away, Naruto stopped and waited for them. He was going to test his new powers.
"Come out! I know you're there!" he shouted. Soft laughter could be heard and then two figures could be seen exiting the greenery. A man that looked like Sasuke and another that looked like a walking blue fish. Itachi Uchiha and Kisame of Akatsuki.
"You've gotten better since the last time we met," Itachi stated, referring to the time they had kidnapped Gaara and tried to extract Shukaku's powers from him. It hadn't been a very pretty sight.
"What do you want?" Naruto stated.
"Power," Itachi replied with a smirk. Naruto glared at him and took a few steps forward. Itachi raised his hand and pointed a finger at his opponent. It was now Naruto's turn to smirk.
"That trick won't work on me twice," he stated, "I'm now immune to Genjutsu's now."
Kisame frowned and unsheathed his big sword, glaring at his opponent.
"How dare you speak that way to Itachi," he growled, but said person stopped Kisame from charging forward.
"We are only here to give you a warning. The demon are gathering and soon we will attack," Itachi announced, then they both disappeared within the darkness of the forest.
"Naruto!" someone screamed in the distance. Said person looked up and Sasuke running towards him.
"Naruto! What happened?" he questioned.
"Your brother came," he answered. Sasuke tensed.
"For what purpose?" he asked.
"A warning. Soon Akatsuki will attack," he replied.
"We will be ready," Sasuke said. They headed back towards the village. Night had already fallen when both captains found their way back home. Naruto went to his apartment and Sasuke left to go tell the news to Fuyu.
When Naruto entered his home, Gaara was already waiting patiently.
"When will they be coming?" he asked.
"Soon," Naruto whispered back. He climbed into bed and closed his eyes. It didn't take long for him to fall asleep.
Meanwhile, Sasuke was telling Fuyu the news about what had happened in the forest.
"Naruto was ambushed. They've given us a warning, which is very noble. We have to prepare for battle," Fuyu answered after she knew everything. Then Sasuke left when he was done with his tale. Fuyu quickly rushed through the house, gathering her weapons that she kept well hidden.
"What are you doing?" Haru asked curiously. Natsu was beside him, hugging a small teddy bear that she had found in the attic.
"Gathering a few things. Do both of you know how to fight?" she asked. Both children nodded quietly.
"It comes naturally. It's our instincts, though we are still amateurs. Hiru and Aki are the fighters," Natsu explained cutely. Fuyu stopped rummaging through her things and turned towards the children.
"Cab you bring them here?" she asked. Both nodded once more and ran upstairs. A few minutes later, the adults descended. The children were not with them.
"Did you hear?" Fuyu questioned.
"Yes… They are coming," Aki said.
"Will you help?"
"Yes, they are after us too so we will help in battle," Hiru responded
"Then we must prepare," Fuyu stated. They nodded and immediately gathered their things.
'Soon the others will come and everything will begin. The Hokage must be informed of this new problem,' she thought. Fuyu wrote a quick letter and sealed it in an envelope. She whistled slightly and a bird flew to her through the window. She tied the letter to its foot. It was a cute little blue songbird.
"Fly my little messenger. The Hokage needs to know," she whispered. The bird spread its wings and took flight. Fuyu glanced at the men behind her.
"It's time to train," she announced bravely.
I actually wrote this a long time ago, so I don't remember if Itachi ends up being a bad guy or a good guy. I guess I'll find out at the same time as you. Please review.
