Hey this is me again.

Sorry I took more than a month to post again. (To my old readers)

The story got taken off but its back :)

Enjoy~!

It was morning and Sasuke was staring at the roof while meditating. He had dreamt that he was home with Itachi and his friends full of happiness, no more hatred. He thought it was all a dream only to wake up and find out it was real. He remembered when fighting Shinnou trying to find the Resurrection Jutsu for Orochimaru; Naruto had promised that he would get him back. He laughed at what a joke Naruto was, but that was years ago and now he was back in Konoha.

He felt ashamed about what he had done now. He had acted like a child who couldn't get ice cream and threw a tantrum about it. If he was going to get the death penalty he would deserve it and he will the punishment without being scared.

I have to make up for what I have done to them, especially Naruto. If I don't get a death penalty I make sure to preserve our bonds and his happiness until the very end. The other one is Sakura; I just knocked her out when she confessed to me and left. Then I tried to kill her. I thought she was going to be happy but she seems pretty pissed off…

He heard someone come in and he feint to be asleep. He recognized the scent. Strawberries and cream; it was weird how she didn't smell like cherry blossoms. He chided at himself for thinking that.

He opened his eyes to see her back and putting the food in the table.

"Sakura."

She stopped abruptly; Sasuke smirked maybe she was still easily swayed. But a monotone voice responded, "yes?"

He frowned," why are you here?"

"its my job."

"...only your job?"

"yes, being the next successor of the hospital I am the one who takes care of the patients that are criminals as practice and seeing that there is no ANBU taking care of you my strength will be enough to put you back on bed whether you want it or not."

"..."

"if you don't need anything else I'll be leaving. Your brother will be here for you soon and escort you to Naruto's apartment." she was about the turn the knob.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry I left and I almost kill-"

She turned to look at him and without hesitation of any sign of emotion she said , "Stop it, you're being annoying," and walked out.

Sasuke stared at the door and suddenly burst out laughing while covering his eyes with his arm.

The tables are flipped now.

"trouble Sasuke?"

"Itachi?"

Itachi was sitting on the window.

"how long have you been here?"

"long enough. Are you ready to leave?"

"yeah my foot feels better."

"good, I already moved the stuff with Naruto. Since he isn't here yet I'm guessing you want to talk."

"Yeah."

"Good, I want to talk to you too -I'll start. When Kabuto was defeated I wasn't able to tell you the other part of the story and I was afraid you didn't believe Naruto. The man who called himself Madara was the one who brought the misfortune to the Uchiha clan. He was the one that summoned the Kyuubi. After that That's when the village started treating the Uchiha clan less, making us want to start a war. I had to protect the village. I had to protect you, if somebody else would have killed our clan you would have died and it would make more deaths, more pain, so I decided to do it myself. I left you so you could kill me but I only left you with hatred and loneliness. At this point I didn't no Madara or Tobi was to blame so I joined the Akatsuki thinking that it was for the best to go with his plan and finally have peace. Before you defeated me I had told Naruto to take care of you because he was the only hope I had to reverse the hatred inside if you. After defeating Kabuto I woke up in my original body and Sakura saved me, it took me years to find the scrolls in order to erase the darkness but then I trained Naruto. I'm sorry Sasuke. I left you alone and empty and what had happen to you is my entire fault."

"its both our faults... Nii-San."

They were looking at opposite sides, avoiding each other.

"…I already knew about Madara…."

Itachi turned to look at him and raised an eyebrow, "if you did why didn't you come back."

"I heard him talking to Zetsu but it was too late for me to avenge you, Naruto killed him so I wanted to kill someone anyways. It didn't matter if they were guilty or not I just wanted someone's blood. I just wanted to blame it on someone... I was also scared, there were times that I wanted to come back but Naruto had stopped looking for me. I thought he had given up and started hating me. I lost it even more..."

"At least you are back; we can be a family again."

"Plus one!" Naruto burst into the room with a foxy grin.

"aww are you guys having a brotherly moment? Why didn't you guys invite me!"

BAM!

"Naruto this is a hospital!"

"Don't hit Naruto-kun, Sakura!"

"He is disrupting other patients Karin!" but Karin was already looking at Naruto's bruise.

"it's okay Karin-chan, I'm used to it."

"oh! Sasuke are you leaving already?"

"yeah... Thank you for taking care of me." He turned to look at Sakura but Sakura looked at the clock and exclaimed, " oh Sai is here for me! I'll see you later Naruto, Sai and I are going to go train. Bye guys!"

And she dashed off.

Awkward moment...

"tch. Let's just go."

"yeah, here Is the cape teme."

"it's pink now!"

"yeah, I washed it... I don't think I should've done that."

"you think idiot!"

"oh come on! Nobody knows it's you; you still have a girlish face so when they look at you they still won't know it's you."

"what?"

"Sasuke just put it on. It's for your own good."

"tch." he snatched the cloak and put it on.

This was definitely karma.

As they were walking outside Sasuke noticed Sakura and Sai. They were both chuckling at something funny. In his opinion, Sai looked like a transvestite. What type of man wore a shirt like that.

"he's Sai, but you already met him. He is a year older than us and used to work for Danzo in the ANBU roots. Now he is part of Team Kakashi."

Sasuke stayed silence and watched Sai give Sakura a smile that he would consider creepy, but Sakura smiled back.

"he reminded us of you."

"tch, he has nothing on me."

As they walked through they neighborhood the villagers stared at the group. Sasuke thought he was caught but noticed that the glances weren't directed towards him, but to his brother and Naruto.

He was surprised that they weren't filled with hatred. It was more like cautious and grateful at the same time.

Naruto was a different story, he was even blushing; the villagers looked at him with admiration and pride. Everybody waved at him and some little girl were whispering and arguing about who was going to marry him in the future. Some girls our age were squealing.

stupid fan girls

I guess being with Naruto the villagers thought differently of Itachi.

Once they got to Naruto's little apartment he saw that Itachi didn't have much except two bags. Naruto dropped to the bed and sighed with contempt.

"rough day?" Itachi asked as he settled in the kitchen table.

"Baa-chan and the elders are teaching me proper etiquette. They even told me how to handle the chopsticks correctly and I couldn't eat ramen until I mastered it!"

Itachi chuckled while Sasuke stood near the door feeling quite uncomfortable again.

"don't worry this is all for the best of Konoha."

Naruto looked up from his bed and grinned stupidly. "ah! Arigato Itachi-niichan."

At this point Itachi had gone up to Naruto's refrigerator and Sasuke was leaning on the wall or trying to become the wall.

"who would've heard of a gennin becoming the Hokage."

"I'm a Sannin-ttebayo!"

Itachi moved around the kitchen again, filling a ramen cup with hot water. He sat down and Naruto stood up to go to the refrigerator too. He gave a loud yell which caused Sasuke to go in a defensive position.

"you got the last ramen!"

"I am hungry and this is the last thing you got."

Naruto got his pillow and threw it at Itachi but ducked it, hitting Sasuke right in the face.

They both laughed. "hey! Stopped acting like children!

But he wasn't mad at the pillow, he was jealous that Naruto's new bond with Itachi. It was like they were actually brothers while he could only stand there and not join them because you don't try to become brothers with someone you tried to kill hundreds of times right away.

Itachi motioned Sasuke to come and like when he was young he complied, and just like he was he got jabbed in the forehead... Again...

Sigh, "Stop being so serious Sasuke, I wish you were that foolish little brother again."

"humph."

"oh yeah Sasuke don't bother unpacking, we are moving out tomorrow."

He was about to ask why but There was a sudden knock on the door and the Uchiha brothers seemed wary but Naruto went to open the door, " don't worry, it's someone to be trusted."

"Hey Naruto."

"Hey Shikamaru, come in."

A tall guy entered the door, he had a bored expression on his face.

"why did you want me to come he-"

He stared at Sasuke with curiosity, like he couldn't believe he was actually there. And then he smirked, "so you finally accomplished the two things you wanted the most."

"Hah hell yeah!"

"hey Sasuke, Uchiha-san," Sasuke only nodded, "so why do you want me here, its going to be too troublesome if I'm the one that's supposed to take care of him."

"heh because going out the the Kazekage's sister is not troublesome enough."

"it's troublesome enough."

"Tomorrow is the day that Baa-chan announces she retires and named me future Hokage. The village is okay with me right now but with the turn of events... Well, if they don't want me anymore then I will accept it."

"are you planning to announce to the village that you brought him?"

"yes, and I called you here to ask if that is the right decision. I need you to come up with a strategy."

He looked up to Sasuke trying to analyze him, "he doesn't have any justification as to why he wanted to kill everyone in Konohagakure. People wouldn't trust him but they trust you do it's a 50-50 chance that they will want him to live. A trial would help but there are people with power that can change the decision."

"what if there was a reason, a good reason to feel so much hatred."

"what are you talking about?"

Naruto turned to see Itachi, "it's time for people to know the truth," he raised his hand to silence Itachi as he was about to protest, "seriously, you two can't keep on carrying this burden by yourselves. Everybody is at fault for what happened, but Tobi and Danzo are the ones to blame for the most part."

"I refuse! I don't want anybody to know the truth about the Uchiha clan!"

"the people need to understand! Everybody needs to understand that what Sasuke did is reasonable no matter how bad it is! If we keep this hidden there will never be a mutual understanding! Only hatred and hard feelings leading to more deaths! I understand Itachi! I understand that your clan wanted to revolt and that that was too, reasonable. But a man caused this and it was that Tobi!... Trust me..."

"what are you all talking about?" asked Shikamaru, apparently not bored anymore.

"Itachi you tell him."

And so the story telling began and it ended leaving Shikamaru more troubled than before. Now he got it, now he understood everything clearly. Of course he would be mad too and try to avenge everyone that brought so much pain to my family, if he weren't to lazy.

"this definitely changes things; tell the people the truth. I am sure they will understand although the elders won't be too happy about it."

"screw the elders! Besides Baa-chan is going to take that position! I am not going to run a village by keeping secrets to the civilians."

"I'm glad you already have plans, Naruto. Anyways telling the truth will make the people side with Sasuke. The more support, the better for his trial. And you," he turned to see Sasuke, "I hope you actually changed, sending more people to look for you would be troublesome."

Sasuke just nodded again.

"Oh yeah! I hope you already released the news."

"I just had to tell Ino, I heard the news while coming up here. Its all done."

Naruto sighed with relief, "Thank you."

"I'll be there tomorrow so don't worry. Bye."

"thank you Shikamaru!"

"you are too troublesome."

I hope you guys liked it :)

See you guys next week ;)

-Isa-nya~!
