Enjoy the chapter...


Itachi Uchiha an eighteen-year-old boy responsible for his brother and his brother's best friend who were three years younger than him. Not once in his entire life did he think he would have to baby sit his brother and his friend. But when Naruto Uzumaki came to their house with a younger four-year-old Sasuke he wanted to punch someone in the face. It shocked him considering he was a damn pacifist. Yes, he was sadistic and loved to torture his little brother but he still didn't like to get violent if his glare could solve a problem.

"Naruto, what happened to my little brother?" Itachi asked eyebrow rose curiously.

"Well..." Naruto rubbed the back of his neck not really sure how to explain what happened exactly.

"Spit it out already I'm not patient and my parents are going to be home soon wondering what happened." Itachi growled out irritated.

"We were trying a bunch of different jutsus while we were practicing Sai came by us saying he had a cool new one and demonstrated on Sasuke. Then this happened." Naruto pointed out to the sleeping four-year-old that he set on the couch.

"Where is Sai?" Itachi asked because he didn't have time for this.

"He was summoned by my dad for a mission that is going to be a month long." Naruto answered moving to the other side of the couch to avoid being hit by the angry Uchiha.

"Your telling me there is a possibility that my little brother is going to be like this for a month. Is that what you're telling me?" Itachi asked his head looking down and sharingan flaring to life.

Naruto nodded his head and was tempted to jump out the window. He knew he should have just brought Sasuke home with him but Sasuke kept asking for his brother.

"I don't know who I want to beat more you or Sai." Itachi growled looking up at Naruto.

"I didn't do anything." Naruto screamed looking down because he didn't want to get caught in Itachi's eyes.

"You will be dealing with this." Itachi said watching his brother move around.

"I would have if he didn't tell me to bring himself to you." Naruto screamed shockingly looking up to Itachi.

Itachi was shocked by the bravery the young teen had to look up at him. But he had to hide his expression.

"So, what should we do then?" Itachi asked sighing giving in because he could leave a four-year-old child with Naruto.

He knew Naruto was right he couldn't blame him for what happened he was just there and that's why it was irritating.

"We can go to my house and see if we can find a way to turn him back." Naruto offered.

"Fine, but why do I have to go?" Itachi asked calmer now.

"Because four eyes are better than two." Naruto reasoned.

"Why don't you ask your other teammate? Or Kakashi?" Itachi asked.

"Because Kakashi is on a mission at the moment and would tell my father it happened. I would get blamed for it when I had nothing to do with it. As for Sakura she would blame me too saying something about me making sure Sasuke dodged instead of worrying about my own safety." Naruto said slightly annoyed.

Itachi thought about it and he knew Naruto was right. He even blamed Naruto for it so he knew the others would blame him.

"Fine I will help you but I swear you better not make me regret this." Itachi said picking up his little brother and following Naruto out the house.

"I am pretty sure you're going to regret this." Naruto said confidently.

"Yeah me too," Itachi said having Naruto close the door.

They needed to get out of here before anyone saw them. They flashed in a bunch of leafs to Naruto's apartment. Thankfully Naruto lived alone or they would have a problem because Naruto's father was the Hokage and would tell his parents what was going on.

"What should we look up first?" Naruto asked setting Sasuke on top of the bed he had in his room.

"Brother?" Sasuke said suddenly waking up.

"Itachi you play with Sasuke and I look things up." Naruto said making Itachi glare at his back but it was thoroughly ignored.

Naruto was the one person in the village to not heed the glare and make Itachi want to punch something or someone. But then again Naruto had the ability to pull out all the Uchiha's emotions.

"Play," Sasuke said jumping up right into Itachi's arms.

Itachi didn't know what to say but he did really want to kick Naruto but Naruto was working diligently to help Sasuke so he could suffer for at least a little bit.

"Okay what do you want to play?" Itachi asked.

"Beat up Naruto," Sasuke said laughing jumping out of Itachi's hands attacking Naruto on his back.

"COME ON SASUKE!" Naruto whined dodging the attack to his eyes.

Before Naruto saw it coming Itachi kicked him in the chest only enough to knock him down grabbing the scroll out his hand and reading it himself.

"Not cool Itachi," Naruto whined while the little Sasuke hit on him.

An hour later Sasuke was done beating on Naruto and came back to Itachi.

"Ni-san I'm hungry. When are we going home?" Sasuke asked.

"We're spending the night by Naruto's tonight. Naruto start cooking." Itachi demanded.

"I don't... fine I will do it." Naruto said getting a glare from Sasuke and Itachi.

Itachi watched with amusement as Naruto started walking to the kitchen and Sasuke follow after him biting his leg to be lifted up while Naruto cooked. Shockingly Naruto was okay with lifting him up and cooking. It was actually pretty adorable where Itachi felt like Naruto would make a great father one day.

"Naruto, I'm going to write a letter to tell my parents where we are." Itachi said.

"Hmm..." That was Naruto lingo okay.

Itachi sent them a letter with his flames. He knew they wouldn't mind because he is sure they felt his chakra in the village. Itachi was still reading scrolls as he heard Sasuke fighting Naruto to get him to make something with more tomatoes.

"Sasuke come here." Itachi called to his little brother to give Naruto a break in a sense.

Naruto has been dealing with all the grunt work with Sasuke the least he could do was give him a break as he cooked. Itachi just played with Sasuke and read to him about scrolls talking about how Sasuke was going to be an amazing ninja when he grew up. The irony in that one.

"The food is done." Naruto called out to the other two.

Both Uchiha's rose to their feet and walked to the kitchen. Itachi was shocked that the food in the kitchen wasn't Ramen and that it was fish and a salad.

"I didn't have time to go food shopping so this is all I have." Naruto said rubbing the back of his neck as he turned his head looking out the window shyly.

"This will have to do Naruto." Itachi said sitting down putting a scroll on the table.

Naruto snatched the scroll up making Itachi glare at him.

"What are you doing?" Itachi asked in a menacing tone.

"No scroll reading at the dinner table." Naruto reprimanded.

"This can be a special occasion." Itachi said.

"No," Naruto said.

"Give me the scroll." Itachi said holding out his hand.

"No," Naruto said.

"Brother, we have to eat first." Sasuke said reprimanding the oldest at the table.

'I'm being reprimanded by my kid brother now.' Itachi thought to himself.

After that the dinner was silent with Sasuke eating quietly enjoying his tomatoes.

"Naruto can we train?" Sasuke asked once dinner was over.

"No, we have to go to sleep." Naruto said than glanced at Sasuke to see him pouting. "But we can tomorrow." Naruto said making Sasuke smile and jump to him.

"Then let's hurry and get to sleep." Sasuke said pulling Naruto to his bed.

Itachi just sat on the floor and continued to read scrolls as the other two gathered by the bed.

"Itachi you should go to sleep too." Naruto said but he wasn't demanding like before.

Itachi shook his head no and watched them for a split second then turned back to the scrolls.

It was a few hours later when Itachi started to feel tired and looked around to see where he could sleep and noticed there was still some room for him on the bed so he went to the bed. He didn't mind sleeping with his little brother. But Naruto actually looked pretty cute too curled up with Sasuke at the moment that he really didn't want to wake them. So, he just curled into the spot that was obviously for him.

The morning came to quick in Itachi's opinion but that wasn't what was bothering him at the moment. It was the fact that his baby brother wasn't exactly small anymore which was a good thing but he was suffocating him.

"Sasuke get off of me." Itachi mumbled to not wake up Naruto.

But he glanced down and saw that both of them were practically on top of him and sighed. Despite everything he was glad that the jutsu wore off because now he could go back home. But for some reason that seemed off to him.

"Get off me you two." Itachi mumbled pulling his hands out from under them.

'How did I get in the middle anyway?' Itachi thought to himself.

Naruto was the first to awaken and get off Itachi.

"Sorry about that. You seemed cold and you were falling off the bed so I came to this side." Naruto explained then walked to his bathroom.

Itachi pushed his brother off him and that woke Sasuke.

"Itachi? What are you doing at Naruto's? What am I doing here?" Sasuke asked and the memories from yesterday started playing in his head. "What the fuck? When I see Sai, I am going to beat him bloody." Sasuke growled out his chakra swishing around.

"Calm down Sasuke I don't want you destroying my apartment." Naruto said coming out the bathroom.

"Why didn't it affect you?" Sasuke asked.

"Because I didn't get hit by it." Naruto said.

"That's good at least one of us didn't get hit." Sasuke said thinking about it because they were at the training grounds and that would have been dangerous if enemy ninjas found them. "But why is Itachi here?" Sasuke asked.

"Because you asked Naruto for me and he thought it would be easier to take care of you with me around. But now that you are good I am going home to do some scroll studying at home." Itachi said getting off the bed and jumping toward the window.

"WAIT ITACHI!" Naruto screamed making Itachi and Sasuke look toward him. "Do you want to train with me and Sasuke today?" Naruto asked.

Itachi thought about it and was shocked when he found himself wanting to agree and even more surprised when he nodded his head yes and nodded his goodbyes to the boys. For the first time he wanted to learn more about the two aside from the troubling things they both did. He will regret it later but that will be for later. But maybe not because in all honesty he didn't have any regrets about last night.
