Pairings: Naruto x Sakura and others
Info: This story follows after Sasuke left leaf to join Orochimaru. Naruto and gang manage to get him back and I'm taking it from there.

As Naruto made his way towards his apartment, he thought he saw a shadow up on the roofs but he soon dismissed it an ANBU member doing his or her patrols.
In his sleepy daze, he reached for his keys and opened his door not realizing someone was behind him. The figure pushed Naruto inside and kicked the door closed. In the confusion Naruto slipped and fell flat on his face. When he regained his composure, he quickly grabbed a kunai from his pouch and tried to stab the attacker, but Naruto was stopped dead in his tracks when he saw whom the attacker was.
"ITACHI!!.. What! How!" Naruto yelled.
"Calm down Naruto I'm not here to hurt you, but if you don't calm down I'll will be forced it silence you."
"Why the hell should I listen to a bastard like you? Tell me what your doing here or I'll kick your ass and then call the ANBU to take your remains to Sasuke."
Itachi just smirked at that remark and replied
"I see that the Kyubi has given you some of his attitude as well as his power. Now just shut up and follow me to see Tsunade, if you wont come quietly I'll have to use force. Its your choice."
"Well lead the way you sharingan freak" inside Naruto knew that Itachi had to be telling the truth about going to see Tsunade as he would not have lied if he wanted to take Naruto.
Jumping out of Naruto's open window Itachi started to jump towards the Hokage's office with Naruto following closely behind him. When they reached the office Itachi used the back door instead of the normal entrance. Once inside he hit a couple of spots on the wall when a secret entrance opened and it led directly to Tsunade's office.
The voluptuous 5th hokage did not seem the least bit surprised when Itachi walked in with Naruto.
"Did he give you any problems? She asked.
"Not really he was just real noisy" Itachi said with a cold voice,
"Well Naruto you must be wondering what's going on, I guess it's finally time to tell you. You know the story that says Itachi killed all of the Uchiha clan right? Well that's not true. The one who killed the clan was the Akatsuki group. The reason for this was to get you. You see the Uchiha's were given the task of taking care of you when you were born, but before they could take you into their family they were killed."
" I thought the Uchiha clan was strong? How could they have been killed by a group of less than 10 people?" Asked Naruto
"Well that's true but they were poisoned before they were killed. Itachi was not there when it happened. His parents dying wish was for him to look after you. So we sent him to go undercover into the Akatsuki group. Sasuke was not informed of this as he was too small to understand and even if we told him, he would not have believed us as he saw his brother covered in his parent's blood."
"Then why did Itachi try to kidnap me before?"
"He was trying to take you and train you before the Akatsuki could get their hands on you. You see the Akatsuki has put Itachi in charge of capturing you, and they don't keep an eye on him. Granted Jiraiya is strong, but Itachi is more qualified to teach you one how to use the Kyubi."
"If Itachi is so strong why did he not kill the Akatsuki group by himself?" (I just love as to how simple minded Naruto is ^_^)
"That's a good question but the Akatsuki never meets as a group and they actually have members stronger than Itachi, at least that what we have been informed of. Itachi was supposed to meet with you and Jiraiya and take you away to train but Kakashi the jounins and Sasuke coming and trying to fight Itachi disrupted this. That's why Jiraiya had to pretend to fight Itachi."
"So what's going to happen now?" Naruto whispered, still unable to believe all that he was told.
"Now I want you to follow Itachi and train until the next chuunin exam, which is in 6 months. I will tell everyone that you left with Jiraiya to train and that we don't know when you'll be back. So Naruto are you ready?"
"I.I. don't know. This is so weird. But I guess I don't really have a choice now do I. So when do we leave?"
"You leave right away. Oh and Naruto someone will be joining you on your little trip." "Who?"
"You'll see. Now go and remember I'll always be praying for you safety."
