Chapter 2
I don't own Naruto. English is not my first language.
Itachi Uchiha and Hana Inuzuka part 1
A bright white orb appeared in front of the two shinobi" Touch the sphere and infuse a bit of your chakra in it" they did as there were told and the screen light up and everyone were watching.
'Why were those two together?' asked in their minds Kiba and Sasuke' Maybe they are together in the future.' they shook their heads' No she/he deserves better.'
"Because you are two people, we will see more than one part from you and not the future but the past. Is that OK?" he said and the others nodded
The screen showed a forest that definitely was in Konoha and then there was a cry of delight and a female voice speaking" And then he started crying so loud that I think people in Suna heard it. What about your brother what does he do?"
The people in the screen were showed more clearly there were a girl and a boy both about five years old the girl was clearly Hana Inuzuka but for the other, they were not so sure.
"I remember that day," Hana said with sadness in her voice
"Who is the boy with you?" asked Kiba but his sister just pointed to the screen
The boy had black hair and eyes and was really cute" Well Sasuke doesn't do much just lies in his bed and stares at the ceiling all the time frowning but he is quite through."
Little Hana giggled and said" All Uchiha are quite Itachi that is not surprising." and they both laughed a laugh that for people who knew only Itachi Uchiha that is now would have never thought possible.
"I guess you are right but I would take my quite brother over your loud one every day through." again they laughed" So how are things going at home?"
"Fine mommy is happy now that he left though I still can't believe he was a traitor to the village."
"Who is he?" they could all hear the hated in her voice
"The man who dared call himself my father, " Hana said with anger in her voice but calmed down when Itachi put a hand in her shoulder and smiled at her it was a small smile but it was there.
"He is still your father Hana no matter how much you hate him that fact would never change, " Itachi said in a wise voice.
"I know that but it's easy for me he was never there always in the bed of some other woman and besides you know I like my godfather more than I like him he is always here for me and he is actually busy with something important."
Itachi started looking around and then said:" Shh you know what our godfather says about dads and that he does not like when people offend their own father."
"Sh... Damn." she too started looking around" Don't tell him I said that he is going to be so very disappointed in me."
"Wait the two of you have the same godfather?" asked Ino
"No..." started Hana
"But you just said."
"No, all of us except for Hanabi and Hinata who were born after his death through he was the unofficial godfather to Hinata have the same godfather."
"I thought clans hated each other why would they allow their children to have the same godfather," said the Tsuchikage
"Trust me if you know who he was you would understand," said Itachi
"Don't worry he would never hate you. You know, that right?" said little Itachi
Hana nodded" Yeah, I guess. Now let's continue with the exercise because this part is the part which we had never made it."
"Look" Itachi pointed to a tree" The branch is broken."
"Right and there is a footprint over there too," the footprint was almost impossible to see but every shinobi could see
"Hana," said Itachi getting the girls attention" try to sniff the air I think you can smell something."
She started sniffing the air and said" You are right I can smell blood it's faint but it's there. How did you know?"
"There are a few drops of blood there," making Hana nod
"What are the two of you doing?" asked Sakura
"Training." answered both of them together
"Huh," the members of Konoha 12 looked shocked so did other in fact" But the two of you are like five."
"Yeah but that training is not that hard most of the mistakes are mistakes that only a Genin would make."
"So, it's an extremely easy exercise."
"Where do you want to go now left or right?" Itachi asked Hana
"Well the smell of blood is stronger in the left and the footprint you found is also in the left," Itachi nodded and said, "All right we will go left but be careful this part is harder than the ones we have already finished."
They both nodded at each other and started walking more carefully avoiding places where they thought a trap was seen. Suddenly Itachi yelled" DUCK" and took her with him narrowly avoiding getting hit by many Kunai.
When they were done Hana went to see them and made a noise of frustration" Does he trust us so little?"
"Why what's wrong?" asked Itachi a little worried
"The kunai are fake they would hurt us. He doesn't think, we can protect yourself."
"You know that he just wants to make sure that we are OK. That's the reason why they are fake."
Hana sighted" I know I just hate when people treat us like children. Let's go"
Again, they walked avoiding different traps that everyone from the past had to admit were amazing.
"So where do you want to go right now?" Itachi asked Hana
"That way, "Hana said pointing in her wanted direction witch Itachi followed and both of them stepped into a trap that they could not avoid and ended up in a net.
"Sh... Damn so sorry Itachi is all my fault I chose the way, "Hana said biting her lower lip
Everyone from the past except for a certain few expected Itachi to start blaming her after all almost everyone would do the same thing but they were in for a surprise by what happened next.
Itachi laughed and said" Hana is not your fault I chose the same way as you, didn't I? We are in this together if one of us chooses something the other chooses the same thing too."
"The two of you did good," said a voice that filled everyone with peace and happiness.
Suddenly Itachi through a kunai towards the voice which did nothing except made the person laughed.
"What did he mean you did good you did not do anything?" asked Kiba
"The point of the exercise is for us to trust each other and do not blame the person who makes the decision if the mission goes wrong," answered Itachi
"This exercise has just a few rules: work as a team, trust your teammates, share the responsibility for any mistakes and always have a plan B to save your friends if needed." finished Hana his statement
"Come on Ita-chan did you really think that would work," finally the person whom that voice belonged was reviled to be the one and only Yondaime Hokage
"Well it was worth a try right Uncle Minato." the young Uchiha heir smirked
"Yes, it was you did a good job I am very proud of you both of you."
Both young children looked excited at the words that the young Hokage said they both had stars in their eyes.
Everyone except for the said Hokage could tell that those children admired and loved the blue-eyed man a lot. So, when the younger children turned to the Uchiha heir and the Inuzuka heiress he was the only one surprised.
"What?" said Itachi looking at everyone" Everyone has a hero and idol..."
"Besides is there anyone who does not see him as an idol?" said Hana looking at everyone with a questioning glance. When she said that everyone nodded even children who were born after his death. This made the young Hokage blush and really happy.
Minato took out a three-point kunai that many knew extremely well and cut the net making both of them fall in their feet.
"Hey Uncle Minato, how are you?" the black-haired girl said smiling" Shouldn't you be in your office doing paperwork?" she asked again in an innocent voice she knew every other Kage hated that part of the job.
Every other Kages past and present glared and made a disgusting noise at the mention of the dreaded job for every Kage.
"What is wrong with the paperwork?" asked a little boy who wanted to be a Hokage
"They are the most dreaded thing in the job of a Kage something every Kage hates that part of the job." said the third Hokage and then changed it when he looked at the Fourth Hokage" Well almost everyone."
"I finish them hours ago and got bored so I thought I would come and see how the two of you are doing," he answered smiling
While everyone who knows that he always finished his paperwork in a few minutes' laughs while all the other Kages looked at him with a strange look in their eyes.
"How did you do it?" asked the First Hokage the other Kages would not lower themselves to ask that question to the guy who single-handed defeated each of them
The blond Hokage just gave a mysterious smirk and said" You will find out soon enough I told them," making everyone sight and the Third Hokage to mummer under his breath" You told them but you did not tell me after everything I've done for you. Ungrateful brat," but everyone heard and snickered
"Hey to be completely honest I thought you already had figured it out if you had asked, I would have told you." he smiled at the man he saw as a grandfather and the old Hokage could not be mad at him
"How do you finish your paperwork so soon?" asked Itachi curiosity shining in his eyes
"Yeah I thought it was supposed to be the bane of the Hokage's existence?" the dog lover said
Minato kneeled to be eye level with the two future clan heads" Can the two of you keep a secret?" they both nodded so fast that it could put the speed the Yellow Flash moved to shame" Kage Bunshin no Jutsu" he said and two copies of himself appeared.
The two Senju's mouths dropped into the ground in shock making everyone look at them surprised" Big Brother what's wrong?" asked Itama
"That is a forbidden technique I sealed the scroll myself is also a very hard technique to learn and requires extremely big chakra reserves," said Hashirama
"HEY I KNOW THAT TECHNIQUE TOO," yelled Naruto making Minato smile and everyone else jaws drop
"Really that is amazing it's a really hard technique to learn and for you to learn it at such a young age is quite a feat." He was smiling but you could tell that he was hiding something but Naruto did no notice his hero was saying he did a good job he was in cloud nine but Dan did and asked
"How old were you when you learned it?" he asked with a tone a father would question a misbehaving child
Minato mumbled something under his breath that no one heard Dan raised his eyebrow and crossed his arms saying: "Can you repeat that young man I didn't quite catch it?"
"I said I learned when I was six years old," everyone looked at him with wide eyes" What there wasn't much I could do at grandpa Hizuren's office when mom was in a mission."
"Grandpa Hizuren?" asked Tobirama raising an eyebrow and Konohamaru snickered he knew of the fact that the previous Hokage and his grandfather had a grandfather-grandson relationship he had seen the look his grandfather got every time he was mentioned. Though he didn't have feelings of jealousy to the man they had complexity different places in his grandfather's heart.
"Yeah, is the nickname is gave him when I was a child spent most of my time at his office when my mom was busy with something that was one of the reasons I wanted to be a Hokage that and the fact that it was my dad's dream but he died before he could achieve it so I did it for him." the Yellow Flash said with a sad smile as he remembered his father who was his idol even if he had never met him.
"You know you shouldn't live your life pleasing others," Dan said in a 'father voice' Minato just smiled at him and said," Perhaps but I always lived my life like that."
" This is Kage Bunshin no Jutsu is a technique created by Tobirama Senju a long time ago and is a forbidden technique because the user's chakra is evenly divided between their clones and it could be dangerous if it's used too often by someone who does not have big chakra reserves. These clones are stronger than the normal ones and when they are discontented you remember what they have seen, read and heard."
"Really? I did not know that part," said Naruto with stars in his eyes
"Yes, it's true but I assume that you have used a lot of clones for a really short amount of time. I usually use the clones to do the paperwork when I became the Hokage so I could read them faster and give them answers. That's why I thought lord Third knew of the trick, after all, he was the Second Hokage's student." when he said that Hizuren Sarutobi hit his forehead with his palm
"I can't believe I hadn't thought that, "he said shaking his head" Of course you would be the one to figure it out Minato," then he glared at him" and do you know how dangerous that could have been your mother would have killed me if that happened."
"Well I am a genius so you did not have to worry and besides mom would not kill the Hokage" he paused for a second continued" Well I don't think she would do that."
"So, you read the papers with the clones you can remember what you have read?" asked Hana making Minato nod
"Can you teach us that technique?" asked Itachi
"No," he said making the young heirs' frown" At least not until the two of you become Jōnin I will teach you; how do you say?"
They both started jumping up and down" YES, YES, YOU ARE THE BEST UNCLE MINATO."
Hana jumped in his arms and the young Hokage started throwing her in the air making her giggle in delight and making Itachi laugh.
He lowered her down because he saw something in his godson's eyes so he asked: "What's wrong Ita-chan?"
The young heir looked at the man in front of him he knew he could tell him everything and he would never judge so he took a deep breath and said: "Uncle Minato why did you become friends with my dad?"
The young Hokage looked shocked and tilted his head with a curious expression in his handsome face" What brought this?" he asked the young heir when he refused to answer the man smiled and ruffled his hair saying" You know you can tell anything right?"
The black-haired child nodded and said" Well I heard a few children talking about me and my Clan and said Uchiha are not friend's material. So, I was wondering why did you and dad become friends I mean you can have any friends you want." he said that so seriously that Minato had to laugh
"Yes, perhaps your father is not what most people would consider a great friend," he said
Fugaku turned to his friend pretended to be upset and said" Good to know what you think of me Minato." the man in question just stuck his tong to his brother in all but blood. Fugaku surprised everyone by laughing.
"That's not something nice to say," said Hana crossing her arms
"Yeah but that what makes us great friends even though we did not start that way." at their curious looks he continued" It took me years to make him see me more of a friend than a rival I blame that part of his personality to his father it was the man who made it impossible for him to trust people easily it took me years to gain his trust. Actually, it took me years to win the trust of every one of my friends."
"So why was it worth all the trouble?" asked Itachi extremely curious now" How can you tell when someone is worth being your friends?"
"Do you know one of the most important rules when you are a shinobi?" he asked and they both nodded their parents and aunts and uncles had told that many, many times both answered at the same time" Never trust anyone with your back be a friend or enemy."
"Yes, you can tell people would become your greatest friends when you trust them enough to give your life for them and you are able to turn your back to them without care."
"You know the first one doesn't apply to you…" started Itachi
"Yeah, you are ready to die for everyone in this village, "Hana said chocking slightly at the idea of her beloved Uncle dying she knew the village would suffer too so would everyone else in what they considered family.
"So, until now only Hana is that kind of friend," the boy said crossing his arms
"You know you don't need any of this kind of friends I was just lucky to have many," he told them seriously he did not want them to think that they needed many friends they just needed good ones.
They stopped for a minute to think what he told them when suddenly Hana screamed pointing to a bigger than normal toad that was hopping towards them.
The girls except the girls in Konoha 12 in the past were screaming too while Kiba turned to his sister smirking and said" I did not think you were someone that could be scared so easily." the oldest Clan heiress did the mature thing and stuck her tongue at her brother.
"What is that?" asked Nowaki
Minato smiled at his uncle and said: "It a something toad I think it has a message from Jiraiya I am not sure."
"Aww." said the other children
"Oh, don't worry Hana it's just a message from Jiraiya. "He said taking the toad in his hand
"Lord Minato it's an honor to meet you." the little toad tried to bow to the Hokage that his boss cared so much." I have a message from Lord Jiraiya to you." the blond-haired man nodded allowing the toad to say the message" Lord Jiraiya said that he has met your mother in his trip back and that the two of them will be there at the same time."
"Really grandma will come home? I can't wait." Hana was jumping up and down she could not wait to see her 'grandmother' who was not related to her was one of her favorite people in the world and her role model.
"Well I should tell your aunts and Hana's mother that they should be ready for them to arrive." he then turned to the small toad in his hand and smiled saying" Thank you little Toad please tell 'Bunta I said Hello."
"Of course, Lord Minato." the Toad disappear with a cloud of smoke
"I wonder what Grandma will bring us a present?" said Hana
Minato laughed and said, "She really spoils both off to think she disliked Fugaku at the very beginning."
The members of Konoha 12 looked at the two Clan Heir and the Hokage with curious eyes while Tsunade had a small smile in her face remembering the time when the now Clan Head changed her opinion in the Uchiha Clan.
"Why did Grandma hate Dad?" asked Itachi he couldn't see it the woman loved every one of them like they-they were her children
"Yeah she adores Uncle Fugaku well him and Uncle Hizashi I never understood why though," said Hana even Itachi had a curious look on his face.
Minato laughed" I did not say she hated him I said she disliked well actually she disliked his last still does. She never liked the Uchiha Clan right now the two of them are her favorites because the two of them are the first ones who have given her what she considers grandsons and your mother does not count Hana she gave her a granddaughter making her special."
"Don't blame her for disliking dad at the beginning." said Itachi" I have a strong dislike about most of my Clan too."
"See he hated his Clan he murdered them because of that," said Danzo while everyone looked at him, they had believed what he said was the truth were they wrong.
"I did not hate them but from the moment I was born they tried to put me against my father and making me the perfect Uchiha heir."
"Why?" asked Hashirama he knew the problems that came with that position after all his former best friend was in the same position many years ago.
The oldest child of Fugaku smirks and said" Because they couldn't control my father the way they wanted to doubt everything they said and did what they wanted instead of what they told Elders of the Clan wanted a Clan Head that they could control not someone like my father who could care less what they said and had them in a very tight leash."
"Yes, and the fact that they tried to murder Uncle Fugaku many times did not help in Itachi's opinion of them." finished Hana
"Ita-chan what have I told you about it?" said Minato narrowing his eyes slightly
"What they tried to murder dad and tried to brainwash me so that I could become the Clan Head they could control don't tell me you like them."
"I respect every shinobi in the world and I do like them too it's just that I and your Clan Elders don't see eye to eye never have and never will."
"Not that you are trying," said Itachi making the older man smirk
"Why?" asked Hana they were the only people from Konoha who did not like the men
"They are the only ones who can tell whose blood flows in my veins through I don't know why I look nothing like the man."
"What's wrong with your dad?" asked Butsuma Senju
Minato flinched a bit but it went unnoticed by anyone except those who knew him well and they knew the secret so it didn't matter" Nothing was wrong with my dad." he said a little angry" He was a great man and shinobi and I'm extremely proud to be his son." Butsuma looked a bit ashamed and everyone who had even head of the men was amazed the man must have been extremely great if he respected so much." And I meant someone else from my mother side of my family."
"Well despite the bad reputation every member of the Uchiha Clan is really smart so maybe they just did the math."
"I never understood that bad reputation I mean Uncle Fugaku is great so are Aunt Mikoto and Itachi too," she said
And the young Uchiha heir asked, "Will you tell why the Uchiha are called the Clan of Hate?"
"Have you asked your father about it?"
The little boy nodded his head" I tried to at least I tried to but every time I tried one of the Elders would come and take other me or dad away and they wouldn't allow us to take for a few days."
"Of course, they would do something like that." he said, "But I still think you should ask your father to tell you that."
Fugaku turned to one of his best friends and said: "I wouldn't mind you telling him about that to him you know."
"You are his father," said Minato like it explained everything
"Yes, but you are better with children through," said Shikaku and then he smirked," and besides if 'Gaku had told Itachi that it would have ended up the same way it did when he gave him the talk."
The Uchiha Head crossed his arms and said: "If you could do better than me than why didn't you?"
"Because I am really glad that my son is like five years away from having to have that talk and I didn't plan on having it any earlier." he then smiled and turned to his brother in all but builds and said," 'Nato?"
"Yes." was the answer he got
"Seeing that you are here right now and I think we can convince Lord Hagoromo to let you stay a bit longer." he said looking at the god-like figure and finished" can you give them the Talk."
The children in question blushed fifty shades of red and Minato asked: "But you are their fathers why don't you want to do that?"
"Because you are better with children than we are." answered all of them at the same time
"All right I will think about it." he said sighing" And don't worry Fugaku I did tell Itachi the answer to that question if you are interested."
"All right Itachi I will answer your question but it will take a bit of history are you sure you want to hear it." as expected they nodded their heads
He closed his eyes remembering his mother telling him and his friends the same story when they were younger and his friends would spend the night at his house.
The others were remembering the same thing how before they graduated from the Academy and they would spend most of the nights in his house because their parents didn't care what the woman was like a mother to them she was the one to through them birthday parties, heal their wounds they got during their times were some of the best the story was one of their favorites and they would lay in a Minato's extra-large bed that Tsunade had bought because they spend so much time in their house and she could always stop at the cliff hanger, by the time they had graduated they knew the story by heart.
