-Itachi and Naruto-

"I guess your just saving me for the power." Naruto said blandly.

"Yes." Itachi replied with no emotion.

"I gathered." Naruto said as he looked away. Itachi glanced over at Naruto and quickly looked away.

"Let's go, you won't struggle." Itachi asked, Naruto shrugged.

"Why would I?" Naruto asked, Itachi grunted and proceeded through the forest. Naruto, with the lack of nothing better to do, followed. They traveled in comfortable silence. Suddenly Naruto couldn't take the silence. "Why did you kill your parents?" he asked.

"Hate to live, live to hate." Itachi's curt replied came, Naruto just stared and then started to follow Itachi again.

"They hated me, all I was good for was my power. That's all they cared about." Itachi sudden answer surprised Naruto. He nodded, Itachi looked over and went on, "I couldn't stand it I was loved for my power and it wasn't even true love. I wanted it, I needed it when I was little, but now I don't." Itachi said with a shrug.

"I know what you mean, but everybody needs to be loved." Naruto said calmly, "I don't care if I live or die now, because no one cares, no one cares if I die." Naruto said looking at the ground, "I'm all alone, like I was,"

"Like I always was." Naruto said, with tears unshed.

"That's why I say hate to live, live to hate." Itachi explained, "If you don't have love then there's always the hate. I bask in it, I started to when I was younger."

"Hate saved me," Itachi said.

"But I wouldn't be able to live without love." Naruto said looking up, "I can't hate people for the rest of my life, I would die sooner." Naruto said hysterically.

"Then you'll die." Itachi said calmly.

"That's better then not being loved." Naruto cried, "To be hated for what your not. To be discriminated because of something you didn't do. To be hated for what your not, but what is you what is a part of you always." Naruto broke down completely, "I can't live like that, not anymore. I've had enough!" Naruto wept, "To have your only friends turn on you like that, to make them kill you, to actually have them want to kill you!" Naruto said with despair in every word, "I live for his attention, I lived for his feelings for me. Now he has betrayed me." Naruto said with a wail, he sank to the ground clutching his head, having the tears pouring out of his eyes, was enough to break anyone's heart. But Itachi stood impassive and stared at the boy, but his insides were screaming to do something.

"So what are you saying." Itachi asked impassively, Naruto looked up, with his tearstained face.

"Do me a favor please," Naruto asked in a shaky voice, "After you take my power, please either kill me or let me forge, the pain, it tears, and myself." Naruto said, Itachi nodded.

"I'll see what I can do." Itachi promised.

"Thank you."

-Sasuke-

He was tracing their chakara trails. "I must kill Naruto, and then will I get the new level of the Sharigan," Sasuke said with determination, he activated the sharigan.

"I must find them both."

-Itachi and Naruto-

They stopped to make camp. Naruto helped by getting the water and setting up the fire, and setting up all that was needed for cooking. Itachi set up the some leaves to be their beds. They worked in silent harmony. Later Itachi found Naruto watching the sunset with sad eyes, Itachi stood beside him.

"Beautiful," Naruto whispered.

"Yes," Itachi replied.

"I wish all things were this beautiful," Naruto said with a sigh, "But life is so complicated, everyone's lives are twisted in a undeniable web."

"Yes," Itachi said again, "It can't be helped."

"I know, I once thought I could change my life. I wanted my own dreams and own life I would lead." Naruto explained, "But I never got the chance to."

"I had dreams, I had hopes. All were washed away or broken." Itachi said, with some emotion, Naruto looked over, "You better go to sleep." Itachi said.

"I know," Naruto said and took his leave. They got into their makeshift beds and proceeded to sleep.

Later in the night Itachi was awoken by some shuffling. He woke with a start, he jumped silently out of bed and went too look at Naruto's bed. He was gone!

Itachi frantically looked for some opponent. He saw a glistening at the river, where Naruto got the water. He ran towards it. What he saw, stopped his heart.

"No,"
