Chapter Twenty Five: Revealed

Nika stared at Itachi shocked not quite believing what he asked. But he was so serious and Nika knew that Itachi wouldn't joke about something like that. But Nika couldn't help thinking it was because she was pregnant, but from the looks of things he had already had the ring before she even told him.

"Nika I don't want you to think that I'm asking you just because of you being pregnant ." said Itachi seemingly reading her mind. "I had bought the ring in the village before I got here. Nika I love you."

"I love you too, Itachi. I will marry you." said Nika as Itachi slipped the ring on her finger.

"We'll have to wait until the Akatsuki are taken care of." said Itachi as they walked to the hospital to tell Naruto and Sasuke.

"I figured that, but how long do you think it will take? I don't want our baby born without your last name." said Nika.

"Don't worry, I'm sure Naruto and Sasuke are working on that." said Itachi. "They've already lost Hidan and Kazaku thanks to Naruto."

"The question is what about your partner?" asked Nika once they got to the hospital and into the room where Sasuke was.

"Nika has a good point Itachi." said Naruto who had been there planning with Sasuke on how best to take Sasori and Deidara out.

"I don't know what I'm going to do about him." said Itachi. "But I know something, I have to get to him before he reveals everything."

"I know about the time frame that Pein comes after me and Utakata. He'll be here coming in about three weeks." said Naruto.

"Alright and when does Gaara leave?" asked Itachi.

"In a week." said Naruto.

"Okay Nika I'm leaving. Naruto, I'll see you in a week."

"Right." said Naruto and Itachi left.

Itachi walked down the road thinking about what Naruto said about Gaara and that he wanted him to tell the Akatsuki about him going back. That was until he got attacked by a huge flow of water.

"Well I think Pein will find this interesting."

"Damn Kisame." said Itachi as the said man walked out.

"So how long have you been reporting us, hmm?"

"None of your business." said Itachi attacking his former partner.

"ITACHI!" shouted Sasuke bolting up shocking Naruto

"Sasuke what is it?" he asked trying to stop his friend from getting up.

"It's Itachi." said Sasuke. "Kisame followed him and waited to attack him when he left."

"I'll go help him. You stay here."

"I Can't." said Sasuke trying to get up and Naruto just sighed. Of all people he understood exactly why Sasuke was being so stubborn.

"Alright Sasuke." said Naruto helping him up causing the wound on his side to disappear shocking Shizune, who didn't know about Naruto's abilities.

"Are you crazy?" she asked getting over her shock.

"Don't worry about us." said Sasuke. "WE aren't as weak as you think we are."

"Shizune go tell Tsunade that Itachi is in trouble. We're going to help. Tell her to send the one who has fought him three times and she'll know exactly who I'm talking about." said Naruto and they disappeared shocking her again, then she just shook her head and went to go tell Tsunade what was going on.

"You're kidding right?" asked the fifth Hokage.

"No ma'am. They've already left and Naruto told me to tell you to send the one who has fought this Kisame three times." said Shizune. "He said that you would know what he meant."

Tsunade turned to the window and sighed, then she turned back to Shizune. "Call for Might Guy."

Meanwhile, Itachi continued to block more and more of Kisame's attacks ,but he was starting to lose his strength. he didn't want to use his sharingan but he was beginning to back into a corner. 'Damn I can't last much longer.' he thought as a whirring sound was heard.

"What the-" said Kisame as he dodged the blast.

"Not many can dodge my Rasenshuriken." said Naruto as he and Sasuke stood with Itachi.

"How?"

"I'm not the same little boy as before." said Naruto creating another of his Rasengans.

"Whatever that means. Pein will know that Itachi has betrayed us."

"Heh. I doubt that." said Sasuke smiling at him showing his chidori charged blade.

"Well it looks like you really are different." said another voice.

'Damn its Tobi.' thought Itachi as he watched Naruto and Sasuke look at one another and the blonde nodded back and disappeared.

"Hey Obito! Take me on!" shouted Naruto from the treetops.

"Heh very well." said the masked Nin hiding his shock that Naruto knew his identity, and the two began to fight while Sasuke and Itachi were left with Kisame. However just as they began to fight them there was a blast heard back in the village. Both Sasuke and Naruto looked at the village mortified knowing that it was the Akatsuki attacking after Gaara.

Just then they saw a large amount of Sand appear out of nowhere and they knew that Gaara was fighting to defend them.

"Guy, I want you to go aid the two Uchihas. Kakashi take Sakura and Sai to where Gaara is fighting. Hinata you and Neji go aid Naruto." said Tsunade to the group she had originally gathered to aid Sasuke and Naruto fighting Kisame.

"Understood." said the three groups and they left.

"Naruto please be careful." said Tsunade and she also prepared to defend her village. If she was right this attack wasn't just random. They knew that the one tail was there and that Naruto was there as well. It looked like they decided to attack the village as a whole and not wait. If she was right then there would be one person who would be coming next. She just hoped that they got Naruto's message and were on their way there.
