Konoha
Hokage's office

Itachi or Raven is kneeling in front of Sandaime and reported about the failure of the mission. Hiruzen hearing that was not really pleased, but he still accept the failure. After the report, Itaxhi decided to ask Sandaime, the question that had been on his men since he received the mission.
"Hokage-sama"
"What is it, Itachi-kun?"
"Why is that necessary to spy on Naruto-kun? How did he find the entrance to Uzushiogakure and why he didn't the ally seal to activate the entrance?" asked Itachi curiously multiple questions at once.
Sandaime sighed heavily and answered
"You might already notice that Naruto-kun is completely different from any one his age..."
Itachi nodded his head at that.
"His mind is far more advance than the mind of the other children. Even differ from your brother. All that because of the environment, he lives in. He had nobody to interact with except for the Ichiraku family, me and recently Gekkou Hayate. Naruto-kun as you know is the descendant of the extinct Uzumaki clan. That's why the fuuinjutsu comes so naturally to him. Naruto had the same potential as you, Itachi-kun, or even greater. The reason why I send you to spy on Naruto-kun when he discovered the entrance to Uzushiogakure is because Konoha did some unforgivable thing in the past and there is a possibility that Naruto-kun could discovered about that. If that happened, Naruto-kun will certainly go against Konoha. When the time comes, I will have no choice, but to exterminate him, before he could harms Konoha" explained Hirzen with ashamed voice.
"If it's ok with you, Hokage-sama. Could you tell me what did Konoha do to Uzu in the past, that will makes Naruto-kun reacted like that?" asked Itachi looking at his Hokage.
"Unfortunately, no. The reason is the top secret that only me, the elders and Danzou knows" answered Hiruzen.
"Is that so?... If you don't need me any more I'd like to go home for some rest" said Itachi bowing his head down.
"Yeah, you can go now, Itachi-kun"
"Hai" said Itachi then disappeared on a swirl of leaves. When Itachi left, Hiruzen looked out of the window with a sigh. Then he turned back to look at the portrait of the Fourth Hokage and thought.
'What will you do if Naruto decide to go against Konoha, Minato?'

Uchiha compound.

Uchiha Itachi just arrived at the Uchiha compound. He walked in the living room and saw that his parents already waiting for him.
Uchiha Fugaku, Itachi's father, turned his head to his son and asked.
"How is the mission go?"
Itachi looked at his father for a while then decided to answer.
"It's a failure"
Fugaku blinked surprise at that and decided to ask.
"Failure? You? Failed a mission? What is the mission anyway?"
"Naruto-kun accidently found the entrance to Uzu. Sandaime-sama find it necessary to spy on him. But the gate to the secret room could only be opened through a clansmen blood, as the blood seal is on it. I didn't make in time and fail the mission" explained Itachi.
Uchiha Mikoto, Itachi's mother, at the mention of Naruto's name looked down sadly. The Sandaime has forbid her to speak to him, fearing that someone could deduce that he was the son of Kushina.
Fugaku blinked at that and asked.
"Why did Sandaime deamed it to be necessary to spy on a six-year old child, who is not even shinobi?"
Itachi closed his eyes and lied.
"That I don't know, father"
"Alright, what about the situation with Hokage? What information can you provide?" asked Fugaku.
"Nothing had changed yet. The village is still suspicious about the Uchiha clan, but didn't plan to make any moves against our clan" report Itachi.
"Is that so? We will wait for one more year to find out more about the security then we will make our move" said Fugaku.
Itachi just looked at his father with a pair of Sharingan eyes blazing.

One week later
Uzushiogakure

Naruto Uzumaki walked out of the secret room and inhaled the fresh air. During the time in the Time Chamber, he had grown a little and his hair style changed a bit(Vongola Primo from Katekyo hitman Reborn). Though, the right bang covers his right eye. He wore a white high collar T-shirt with Uzumaki symbol on it. Also there was a long red scarf around his neck. His pants were ANBU-style. Naruto sigh heavily and said.
"Time to return to the hell hole"
With that he began to search for the past entrance that he used last time. When he found it he just stood there silently and was transport back to Konoha.

Konoha

When Naruto appeared back in Konoha, some ANBU has spotted him and immediately Shunshin away to report to Sandaime. Naruto decided to return to his apartment and check if things were ok there. Because of his status, his apartment often been ransacked when he was absent.
Hokage's office
Sandaime is busy with the pain of all kages called paperwork. Suddenly, one ANBU appeared before his desk in kneeling position.
"Hokage-sama, Uzumaki Naruto has return to the village" report the ANBU.
Hiruzen looked calmly at the ANBU and said.
"Bring him to my office"
"Hai"
With that said the ANBU disappeared in a swirl of leaves. Sandaime looked down at the paper and thought.
'So you have return Naruto-kun. I hoped you didn't find out anything. Even though I knew that what I have done is unforgivable, that was still the only option for Konoha to exist. It was all for the protection of Konoha'

5 minutes later

The ANBU and Naruto has reappeared in the Hokage's office. The Hokage looked at the ANBU and said.
"Leave us"
The ANBU bowed his head down and disappeared. Sandaime turned to Naruto and noticed that his appearance had changed a little. His hairstyle is a little longer and has one bang cover his right eye. He also noticed that Naruto seems a little taller.
"Where were you the last week, Naruto-kun?" asked Sandaime with a serious voice.
Naruto looked at Sandaime and answered calmly. There is not even a hint of anger in his voice. During the time with Jushiro, he learned how to control his emotions perfectly. Even though he feels extreme hatred towards Sandaime now, his expression showed nothing.
"I was accidently transport to some kind of ruins and get lost in it. Then I somehow managed to open the secret room. I wanted to get out of the room and spend a week to find the exit. That's why I appeared only now, Sandaime-sama"
Sandaime narrowed his eyes at the explanation then turned his gaze at the covered right eye.
"Why did you cover your right eye? Did you have something to hide?"
Naruto shook his head and answered
"No, Hokage-sama. I just decide to change my hairstyle. If you don't believe me, I could show you that eye"
With that Naruto raised his bang up to show the indentical eye like his left one.
"Do you still not believe me, Hokage-sama?" asked Naruto calmly.
Hiruzen just sighed then turned to Naruto and said.
"Ok, you are dismissed. But return to your class tomorrow ok?"
Naruto bowed his head and said.
"Hai"
With that Naruto leaves the office. Hiruzen looked back at his crystal orb and saw Naruto walked out of the office and head to his apartment.
"Kakashi!" called out Hiruzen.
Immediately an ANBU with silver hair appeared and knealing in front of him.
"Do you call me, Hokage-sama?"
"Yes, Naruto had returned to the village. You are to spy one him 24/7. If you find out anything immediately report" ordered Hiruzen.
Kakashi hearing the name Naruto widen his eyes a little. Then he turned back to normal and said.
"Hai"
With that Kakashi disappeared in a plume of smoke. Hiruzen looked out the window and thought.
'There is still the Uchiha matter and now Naruto. I am too old for this"

Next day
Academy

Iruka is reading the lecture of the past Hokage to the class. Suddenly, the door opened and Naruto revealed himself. The class all immediately turned in his direction and saw how much he has changed the past week. The girl thinks he is so much more cooler and handsome than before, while the boys just looked at him exasperatedly with a tick marks on their head.
"Well, well. Look who decided to grace us with his presence?" asked Iruka jokingly.
Naruto just bowed down his head and said.
"I am sorry that I am late. Will you allow me to enter the class, Iruka-sensei?"
Iruka just blink turn nodded his head. Naruto thanked him and looked at the place where he could sit. As he glances around the class, some girls blushed horribly. Naruto saw a free sit at the back of Shikamaru and decide to sit there. With that Iruka continued his lecture. Some girls sneaked a glance at him and blushed like a tomato. Naruto noticed them looked at him and looked back. That action actually made some girls faint. Naruto blinked in surprise because of the weirdness, but shrugged his shoulders.
Sasuke just looked at Naruto. He didn't actually know the boy. But somehow all his actions remind him of his older brother Itachi. He didn't even understand why Naruto resemble Itachi. Sasuke decided that he wanted to know this boy further.
Ino couldn't believe her eyes when Naruto entered the class. Of course, before he looked okay, though a little short. Now he just looked plainly hot. Though she still that Sasuke was cute. She liked some girls also tried to sneak some glance at him. Though, she could see that he is completely clueless about the situation.
Outside the class, Kakashi was standing on the branch and observing Naruto through the window. He didn't understand why Sandaime decided to keep his eyes on Naruto 24/7. So far he saw, that Naruto is just an academy student. A more advanced one, but still the academy student.
Kakashi was one of the youngest ANBU of the history of the leaves. He also is a prodigy and the creator of the infamous assassination technique Chidori. Of course, he knew Naruto's true identity, because of that reason that he was put in ANBU by the Fourth to protect him after all.
Suddenly, he heard a sound of landing and turned to the direction. It was an ANBU in the Raven mask and has jet-black hair. The ANBU looked at where Kakashi was observing and said.
"I see Naruto-kun has return to the village"
"Yeah" answered Kakashi. Then he turned to Itachi and decided to ask.
"Do you know the reason why Hokage-sama want to keep an eye on Naruto?"
Itachi knew the reason, but decided to lie.
"No, Kakashi-taicho. Even though I was given the mission to track him down when he disappeared. Hokage-sama didn't explain anything to me" answered Itachi.
"Ok, then" said Kakashi and turned to observe Naruto again.

After class

Naruto walked away from the class and decided to visit his sensei. He glanced back and felt some presences behind him. There was some girls from his class, while three others, judging from the chakra levels are ANBUs.
Naruto walked to the training ground and saw his sensei with some pretty lady wearing ANBU outfit. The lady has purple hair, a very attractive face and a red lipstick.
"It's been a while sensei. I am sorry that I disappeared like that" said Naruto.
"Oh, Naruto! Where have you been the last week? I searched for you everywhere, but couldn't find you" complained Hayate.
"I found some kind of seal and was transported to some ruins. It takes me a week to find the way back... Who is standing beside you sensei?" explained Naruto then turned his head to the pretty ANBU lady.
"This is my girlfriend Uzuki Yuugao. Isn't she pretty?" introduced Hayate then asked teasingly.
Yuugao blushed at the praised and hit on his shoulder playfully.
Naruto looked at Yuugao then nodded his head.
"I agree. You are lucky sensei. To have such a girlfriend"
At Naruto's praise Yuugao blushed again.
Naruto then remembered that he still tidbit introduced himself and said.
"Forgive my rudeness. I forgot to introduce myself. I am Uzumaki Naruto. I have been an unofficial student of Hayate-sensei for a while now"
"Nice to meet you, Naruto. Hayate has been praising you for constantly about your exceptionally talents in shinobi department" said Yuugao.
"Well, I still need to learn many things. But thank you for the praise, sensei" replied Naruto scratching his head in embarrassment.
Only now Hayate when looked closer to him, noticed Naruto had grown a little and changed his hairstyle.
"Didn't know you changed the hairstyle? Why suddenly decided to do that?" asked Hayate.
Naruto just shrugged his shoulders and said simply.
"Just felt like doing it"
Naruto sparred with Hayate and Yuugao for while. He asked them about some strategy and some method to improve his training.
After that, he decided to visit Ichiraku family and eat some ramen. After all its been a week since he ate ramen. He arrived at the stand and sat down.
"Oy, Teuchi-ojisan, bring me 3 bowl of ramen please!" shouted Naruto.
Teuchi heard someone called him and come out to see who is it. He looked around and saw Naruto sitting at his usual place.
"Oh, isn't it Naruto? Where have a been this past week, that didn't even come to my stand at least once huh?" asked Teuchi displeased.
"Ah, gomen ojisan. I got lost and only returned yesterday... Where is Ayame-neecham anyway?... Don't tell me she got a boyfriend and now is on the dare with him?" said Naruto then snapped his fingers.
"Of course not. As if I'd let some punk get close to my daughter. She is just out of the village for some ingredients" answered Teuchi and walked back to prepare the order.
Sasuke and Itachi walked suddenly saw Naruto sitting at the ramen stand. Sasuke was looking at Naruto's back for a while. Itachi noticed that decided to ask.
"Do you want to talk to him? He is your classmate though you don't actually know him so well"
Sasuke looked back at his brother and nodded his head.
"For some reason, he really interested me. Even though he is currently a deadlast because of his absence the past week, he is still far better than the most on classes. Plus he always sat alone and nobody actually try to approach him" said Sasuke looked back at Naruto's back.
Itachi turned his gaze back at Naruto and thought.
'You even managed to gain the attention from my otouto, that is not actually interest in anyone, but me. What kind of person are you to even managed to achieve that Naruto-kun?'
With Naruto
Naruto finished three bowl of his ramen and walked out of the stand. Then he looked ahead and saw Sasuke and some one that looked like him only older and the hairstyle is different. They began to approach Naruto, while Naruto just stand there to see what they want.
When they are in front of Naruto, Sasuke stepped forward and raised his hand for Naruto to shake.
"In the academy, we never managed to talk normally, so I decided to approach you to know you better. My name is Uchiha Sasuke. Behind me is my older brother Uchiha Itachi," Sasuke introduced himself and his brother.
Naruto looked at Itachi and already felt that they have much in common. Itachi looked at Naruto and also noticed that like he was looking at the mirrow.
"I am Naruto Uzumaki. Nice to meet you two, Sasuke-san, Itachi-san" said Naruto with a bow. Then he raised his head and shook Sasuke's hand, causing Sasuke to smile.
"It's a pleasure to meet you as well Naruto-kun. I hope you and Sasuke will be good friends" said Itachi with a smile.
At the word friend, Naruto just blinked owlishly and replied.
"I actually didn't have any friend before so I don't know how to be a good friend. You know, that I am an orphan and for some reason the others avoid or ignored me, so the word friend is foreign to me"
Itachi just looked at the ground solemnly and felt pity for Naruto. Then he decided to say.
"Well, if that's ok with you then from now on me and Sasuke will be your friends. What do you say?"
Naruto blinked in surprise at that and asked.
"You guys wanted to be... friends with me?"
"Yeah, why not? You are a pretty interesting guy after all. You will be my rival and my partner for training from now on" declared Sasuke with a grin and pointed at Naruto's face.
Naruto blinked again the close his eyes and smile a little. Itachi saw a smile on Naruto's face and felt pleased as well. Then he looked at Sasuke and saw how happy he is. It's his first friend that actually not envious of him or even try to badmouth him.
"Ok, then. I accept to be your friends, Sasuke-san, Itachi-san"
Itachi smiled hearing that then he began to think about the coup d'état that his father and Uchiha clan plan to arrange a year from now on. He knew that if the clan succeeds then lots of innocent people will die in the process. He then looked back at the smiling face of Sasuke, as he is talking to Naruto. What ever happened he will make sure that Sasuke will survive.
