Okay, here's chapter two, but, before that, here's the disclaimer… Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, I don't even own this computer, so, why would I own Naruto?
On to the fic…

Sakura gasps, soaking in what had just happened.
'This is just a bad dream, Naruto isn't dead, he hasn't become the Hokage yet.' Sakura thinks, trying to convince herself.
Sakura looks at Sasuke, who was staring hopelessly at Naruto.
Biting her lip, Sakura changes her gaze to Kakashi, who had found what Naruto tripped over: A small, nearly invisible length of chakra string attached from one tree to another.
Neji had been in the area, training alone, as usual, and heard Naruto yelling at Sasuke.
'What did the baka do now?' he wonders.
A distance from Neji, Kakashi pulls on the string, and Sakura's ears start to ring, but, the whole forest was ringing, too.
'What's going on?' Neji wonders, and decides to investigate.
Following the sound, Neji comes to the group, not far from where he was training.
"Hello Kakashi, Sakura, Sasuke. Where's Naruto?" Neji asks.
Sasuke looks up from his feet, revealing his mankyou sharringan.
Neji's normal emotionless expression falters slightly.
"So, what happened?" Neji asks looking at Naruto.
Sasuke looks at Neji, who doesn't seem to expect an answer.
"Sasuke, what happened?" Neji asks again, deep in thought.
"I…uh-" Sasuke stops when Neji walks over to Naruto.
"Byukagan!" Neji says activating his blood line ability.
"Gentle Fist!" Neji's fists glow blue.
He locates Naruto's chakra circulatory system and aims a blow at it.
"Neji, I thought gentle fist closed off or decreased chakra flow." Sasuke says.
"Yes, but, it also increases chakra flow, so that one's body gets a large burst of chakra." Neji says, still aiming blows at Naruto's chakra circulatory system.
"So chakra will go through his body, jolting him alive." Sasuke muses.
"Yes." Neji hits Naruto particularly hardm and goes to attack again, but, Naruto catches Neji's fist.
Naruto blinks, and looks up at Sasuke and Sakura.
"I told you that I wouldn't stay dead." With that, Sasuke smirks.
Sakura and Sasuke help Naruto up.
He grins widely at Sakura, before turning to Neji.
"Hey, Neji, thanks for, uh…everything, basically." Naruto says, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly as if he died and was brought back to life every day by Neji.
"Just try not to get yourself killed again." Neji responds.
"Neji, you'll have to join the mission, that ringing was that of an S-class missing nin signaling others." Kakashi explains.
Neji nods and takes his place next to Sasuke and Naruto.
"Kakashi sensei, since an S-class missing nin is in the area, shouldn't we hurry and find that kid?" Sakura asks.
"Exactly, that's why we're leaving the area now." Kakashi states.
"Then, where is the kid now?" Naruto asks, looking around.
"He's at the foot of one of the mountains. All of you should know the drill by now." Kakashi says before sprinting off, the four a few seconds behind.
Once they get to the mountains, they start to look for the kid.
"Hey!" The group turns around, surprised that their target had found them first.
There, standing directly in front of them was a messy dark haired boy.
"What do you want?" The boy asks, almost bored.
"You are in trouble and need to come with us, now." Neji says.
The kid looks at Neji icily.
"I think not." He says, stepping back.
"Come on, what you did isn't that bad." Sakura says, guessing at what the boy could've done.
"It's worse than you think." The kid says.
"Hey, what ever it is, I don't care. I've gotten in trouble loads of times, and the worst you'd have to do is clean up after your mess." Naruto says, truthfully.
"No." the boy answers, "I don't want to pick up after the dead."
"You-uh-you killed people?" Sakura asks.
" Only when I had to." The kid seems to tower over the four chunnin all of a sudden. A scratched forehead protector appears on his forehead, his hair grows longer, and he looks older.
Everyone stares in disbelief and they all know exactly who he is.
He is the one responsible for his clan's massacre. He is Itachi Uchiha.
Yay! I'm done with another chapter! I realize that this may not be the greatest fic ever, but, I would like to make it better than it is.
Although I will continue writing this to the end, I would greatly appreciate reviews or encouragement of some kind, suggestions, criticisms, ideas, anything. I'm doing this for me, because I've been really putting my heart into this, even if it doesn't seem that way.
I'm really proud of this fic (though, to anyone else, it may not seem much to be proud of), and I'm going to stick to it until the end.
If you've read the first and this chapter, thank you, and if you've put up with this thing I've written, thanks for giving the story a chance so far. If you have read this story up to now, please review or something.
Thanks for reading.
Jesus loves you! Keep it strong!
Ja ne people!
