Ehehe, um, I know, I take a long time to update...don't hurt me. I'm only doing this right now because I'm going camping 4 a few days and I want to post before u start coming after me with sharp pointy objects...um...sadly, I just realized something. Well...I really don't have time to update two fics at once very fast so um, I want ur opinion plz. Should I slow down the updates but keep both my fics running or should I drop one 4 now and take it up again when I have time? And umm...if u choose the latter, which fic 2 put on hiatus? I'm really sorry, but I simply have such a crowded schedule. I'm not going to make excuses so please forgive me and vote on which choice u would like...oh yeah, and 4 pairings as well . don't hurt me...

Chapter 3
"Wtf!?!"
"Now, watch your tongue little boy" He said sternly, but with a voice laced with amusement.
"Little boy! Do I look like a little boy to you?! Who the fuck do you think you are...no wait, what the fuck do you think you are and how the hell are you here?" I shouted angrily,
"Once again, watch your to tongue, and yes, you look like a little boy to me and to everyone else ergo, you are still a little boy and I think I am a dead hokage, and I think I am a ghost and how the hell I got here is too complicated for your little brain" he answered, more amused than ever.
I felt a presence brushing the edges of my mind. My body was hardly trained enough to catch such things right now but spiritually, I still had the ability.
I called out into kyubi's mind
-I'm going to flush out our little spy- and left. -hn- he answered back
I easily pinpointed the aura now that I felt it and swiftly teleported near it. in a flash, I easily came up behind it, masking my presence and ripped off it's mask. It was undoubtedly ANBU I decided looking at the red and white painted...mouse? No, weasel or mink mask. I had to enhance my limbs with chakra to be able to do that but it was worth it. I looked up into the face of-
Meanwhile...
Awkward silence...back in the estate welcoming hall, there was definite tension between the two men. There were sparks flying between them without their little 'conducter'
(.) (.)
grr...
Anyways...
"Uchiha-san, care to explain what you are doing here?"
"..."
I knew I sounded a lot more confident and calm than I felt. I wasn't quite used to this body yet as well as the fact that Itachi was strong. Very strong. But...he can't go 'kill kill' mode on a 5 year old...can he? Well he killed his whole clan so, why not?
"You heard didn't you?" I asked smoothly when he didn't answer, then I added before he spoke,
"No you didn't" and with a flash of movement, produced the seals for short term memory loss, erasing memory the past 5 minutes of his life. Ehehe, too bad he had strong mental defenses eh?
"Damn" I muttered under my breath. Now, let's just hope he doesn't kill me for that move.
He smirked, "you interest me boy, what's your name"
I froze, he had blackmail material on me and I knew it. We both did. I complied stonily
"Uzumaki Naruto"
"Hn, if only" he said blandly
I narrowed my eyes, "If only what?"
"tsk, tsk, tsk, that really is none of your business" he said, but continued with a smirk, "but since I like you, I'll tell you. it's my little brother, Sasuke"
I tensed at the mention of that name, it didn't go by unnoticed but I waited for him to continue.
"He's your age but, he's pitifully weak" he said,
'Hehe, so, konoha's golden boy is 'pitifully weak'. That's a joke' I thought, grimly
"So, here, 'if only' means 'if only he was more like you'" he concluded with a dry chuckle,
"Aa, but he does try. Maybe he needs a better motive to become stronger"
'which does not mean 'maybe you should kill off all your clan so he can turn into a bloody single minded freak who's only goal is to kill you'' I added in my mind.
"hn, what you should know about it, what's your motive?" he was digging a bit too deep for comfort but, what could I do?
"Mine? It's the villager's hate for me. Surely you know of what I harbor inside of me? If I become stronger, I may one day earn their respect"
'Well, that used to be my motive' I thought ruefully, now I really didn't give a shit about what the villagers thought. Itachi was thinking, it was plain to see but what about?
I broke the silence "what can I do to make sure none of what you saw now reaches anyone beyond ourselves?" I was getting blackmailed and I knew it but there was little in my power that I could do to prevent it. If my secret got out...dammit, if only the yondaime could be –just- a little more discreet! I braced myself...
He looked thoughtful, maybe a bit too thoughtful. Finally he said, "I would appreciate it if you visit me at the Uchiha estates. I assume you know where it is? I would like to talk" he said shortly.
'Talk eh?' I thought to myself, 'that doesn't sound good'
"Of course, name the time" I said politely, resigned to my fate. (wow, sounding like Neji ne?)
"Tomorrow at dawn, outside of the gates" he said and then disappeared in a whirl of leaves.
"Wow" I said to myself. "Now that's not a usual conversation one would have"
I returned to the estate, grateful that our secret would remain so.
The air was thick with tension and sparks .
(.)(.)
It was tangible enough to cut with a knife. Kyubi was looking distinctly uncomfortable while Yondaime was simply irritated but both looked relieved when I entered.
"What took you so long, gaki?" snapped kyubi
"Complications" I muttered, then turned to Yondaime, bowed and said softly,
"Yondaime-sama, please forgive me for my rude reaction, I was only shocked to see you here" rather surprised by my change in attitude, the ghost could only nod.
Just a few years ago, when he was still genin, he would've leapt upon anyone that didn't scorn him but...that time was over. After a while, he just...stopped longing for family and accepted it as the hand life dealt him. He just, kinda stifled much of the many emotions that lead to longing. On a mission, emotions got in the way, they often disallowed the job that was supposed to be done. Now, he merely accepted the presence of the ghost.
"Just how did you manage to come here?" asked Kyubi tightly, you see, getting sealed inside someone because of a person could really cause some...let's say bitterness between them.
"Aa, well, the big man up in his high and mighty throne decided that I could have, let's say, visitation rights. Although I still have no physical body, I can send my spirit down here once in awhile, just about once a week or so but I can't leave the premises of the estate"
"Oh, well, that means that you'll be coming back ne?"
"Of course, now let's start going"
hehe, well, that's all... for now, I don't have much time or else I would've posted a longer chapter...ehehe, sorry guys, but please choose because I can't do it all at once, I'm just too busy...
