Chapter four is up, yay for me! A time jump finally happens here, to two years in the future, where the kids at the academy finally got their first report card. This chapter will be changing scenes quite often so keep up. Note, Naruto is six now.
DISCLAIMER – You know, I was looking in the cabinets in my house when a paper plate kicked me in the butt and said that I didn't own Naruto… It was the fourth saddest day of my life…
Thanks for the positive reviews! They keep me going on and on! ALSO, thanks everyone for explaining what Harem is, I feel so stupid for not knowing, that is like asking, 'where do babies come from.' But anyways, no this won't be a Harem fic.

Kyuubi in fox mode speaking
(The Ninja academy.)
After two years, Koga and Itachi have become great friends; they both considered each other their best friend actually. Sasuke and Naruto were in the same position, thinking of each other as best friends as well. Within two years Itachi managed to finally make it to the ANBU ranking, and Koga joined a little afterwards. Around the same time Sasuke and Naruto entered the ninja academy.
Sasuke had begun to develop a fan girl club that chased him everywhere he went. Naruto would always help him hide and even risked his life to distract them for a little bit. In return, Sasuke usually decided to get Naruto some Ramen, which he quickly found the boy loved.
One day while the two were at the academy waiting in their chairs for their teacher, Naruto decided to pull a prank…
"Hey Sasuke, I need your help for this one, it's going to be great!" Naruto said smirking.
"Why should I help you? It'll get us both in trouble!" Sasuke asked.
"It has to do something about getting your fan girls away from you for a while." Naruto said.
"What do you need?" Sasuke asked, his six-year-old body ready to do anything to get rid of the fan girls.
"Ok, in order to do this we must get a shovel."
"A… shovel?" Sasuke asked, a sweat drop forming behind his head.
"Yes, do you know where I can go find one?" Naruto asked.
Soon, after a little trouble, Sasuke and Naruto managed to get a shovel from the workshop next to the academy grounds. Naruto made a blueprint on his desk, and showed Sasuke what was to be done. Soon, both boys wore a huge grin as they began to set up their 'trap'.
The others obviously grew interested in what was going on, and watched the boys work.
Finally after what seemed like a couple of hours to the boys they finished, and walked back to their seats with an innocent look on their faces.
"Hey Ino-pig! I am going to win!" Someone shouted from outside.
"No way Forehead girl! I'm going to win so I can sit next to Sasuke!" The other yelled.
"No way!" The other yelled, then suddenly the door burst open revealing a pink haired girl wearing a pink dress, and a girl wearing a purple dress with long blond hair.
Once they stepped foot into the classroom, the prank began. When the door opened, it stretched a wire, which was currently keeping a small ball in place, when the wire broke by becoming too tight; the ball fell through a series of tunnels Naruto and Sasuke created. Then once it went pass all of those, it fell outside, and a shovel with a huge amount of dirt on it shot like a catapult, and hit both girls' head on in the face.
"Yes, 'operation: prank fan girls' completed." Naruto muttered under his breath.
Behind the two now confused girls came one with a sweatshirt on, and some baggy pants. She was confused as to why there were two girls completely covered in mud, but when she saw Naruto and Sasuke with their grins on, she knew right away.
She walked over to Naruto and Sasuke and said, "Y-you know, you two are going to have to st- stay after to clean th- that up?"
"Yeah, but it was worth it, don't you think Sasuke?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah, they deserve it for never stopping to annoy me."
"So, Hinata, I see you're almost over your stuttering problem." Naruto said with a huge grin.
"Uh? W- Well, uh… Th- Thank… you." She mumbled out.
"Naruto, you're an idiot sometimes…" Sasuke muttered.
In the front of the classroom, Iruka finally appeared and began saying, "Everyone, get in your seats!"
Once everyone found a seat to sit in he began to say, "Today, you'll get your first report card, some of you did very well, and others did terrible."
"I wonder what grades I got…" Naruto muttered.
"I know I have the highest grade in everything." Sasuke said smirking.
"I- I'm sure y- you two did w- well." Hinata said.
"I think you'll do fine as well Hinata!" Naruto said showing her a thumb up sign.
Hinata blushed slightly and said, "Th- thank you."
"ALSO class, whoever made that huge mess on the ground will have to stay after and clean it up, now whoever did it, STAND UP NOW!" Iruka shouted, he already knew who it probably was.
"I did." Naruto said standing.
"And, I helped." Sasuke said standing with his friend.
"Ok, Naruto, Sasuke, you both are going to stay after for two hours to clean this up, and for a lecture from me about doing these kind of things!" Iruka shouted.
"I knew I was going to regret this…" Sasuke muttered.
"Anyways, with that aside, when I call your name, please come up here and grab your report card. First up, Nara Shikamaru."
Shikamaru went to grab his card and looked at his grade. He dropped his head and muttered, "How troublesome…"
After a little while Iruka finally said, "Uchiha Sasuke." Sasuke smirked and went to grab his card.
"Yes… full credit in everything." He said to his friends as he showed it to them.
"That is awesome Sasuke." Naruto said excitedly.
"Uzumaki Naruto."
"G- Good luck, Naruto-kun."
"Thanks Hinata!" He said as he walked to get his card.
(Uchiha secret clan house.)
"Itachi, from now on, you're sworn to not tell anyone what conversations we've had in this room, if you do, we have full right to come and kill you." One of the men dressed in an ANBU outfit said.
"Yes, father…" Itachi stated as he walked into a huge room, where plenty of Uchiha members were located.
"Now, we all know here, that we all have some of the Hyuuga blood in us, our Bloodline is almost identical to theirs, but they still have a more superior one, making them the first choice if a threat was to come to Konoha."
"Why does it matter?" Itachi asked.
"Why? Because, we have the right to be trusted by the Hokage much more than them, yet he still puts more faith in the Hyuuga family. This is a fatal mistake that he won't be able to fix…"
"Wait, you're just jealous of the Hyuuga bloodline, you can't just state this as a good reason to do anything drastic to Konoha." Itachi stated.
"No Itachi, that is not all, besides the Hyuuga, the Hokage has been giving our clan, one of the most wanted bloodlines in the world, much too little credit. If we lived somewhere else, I'm sure the Kage would make us their head protectors, and grant us huge funds. This Kage doesn't know our superiority, so, we shall show him just how much better we are."
"No! That is just greed and hatred; you can't just do something like this because you 'feel' you're not getting enough! Do you see the Hyuuga family doing this?" Itachi yelled at them.
"Itachi, we knew you would be like this, so we grant you this." The man pulled a torn letter out. "This paper will tell the way how to advance our bloodline to the last level. We know you'll assist us if you are allowed to achieve this."
Itachi hesitated, he had not known there was another level to the Sharingan. "I… I…" Itachi thought some more… "I accept your offer…"
"Good." The man turned to the rest of the Uchiha members in the room. "Everyone! Our operation begins in three days. Get prepared to do this!"
"What is the operation?" Itachi asked.
"Listen carefully Itachi, First, we'll take over the Hokage tower, since a majority of the ANBU there are Uchiha, it will be simple. We will drug the Hokage with his morning coffee so he is unable to fight at all. After that, we'll begin our attack at the Hyuuga, killing any other person that gets in our way." He lifted up a small-signed paper that had something written on it. "We're going to be smuggling in Cloud ninjas to assist us in killing off the Hyuuga clan."
"You're crazy… Is every Uchiha in on this plan?" Itachi asked.
"No, you and your younger brother were the only two left out of it. I hope you are able to get the next level of our bloodline, do your best Itachi."
"… Father…" Was all Itachi managed to say as he turned around to leave with the scroll in hand.
(The ninja academy.)
Class has ended, leaving behind only three people, Iruka, Sasuke, and Naruto. Sasuke and Naruto were both still at work cleaning up the mess they had made earlier, and Iruka was waiting for them to finish so he could begin his lecture to them.
"Why did I listen to you?" Sasuke asked for the hundredth time that day.
"Because, you wanted to get back at your fan girls for being so annoying." Naruto answered.
"Sometimes I wonder how we became friends…"
"Who cares, lets just clean this up so Iruka can give out his boring lecture and we can go."
"Yeah, we should hurry up…" Sasuke muttered as he continued to scrub the floor in front of him.
Naruto thought for a moment before saying, "You know, you didn't have to be here, I wasn't going to tell on you."
Sasuke looked up and said, "Hey, I am not going to let you have all the credit for doing this prank, especially if it targets my fan girls."
"I see." Was all Naruto could think of to say.
"Are you two almost finished cleaning that up?" Iruka called from the front of the class.
"Almost sensei!" Naruto shouted.
"That's good." He said sending Naruto an evil glare, Sasuke noticed this, but didn't bother to say anything when Naruto didn't.
Finally after they cleaned up the floor, both of the boys walked up to the front of the class t where Iruka was waiting. They sat on two chairs that he had brought for them, and he began with his lecture. It started out with the responsibilities of ninja and what they should do. He then went on explaining on how what they did made them look really immature.
By the end of the lecture, Naruto was asleep, and Sasuke had his head in his hand, trying extremely hard not to copy what his friend just did.
"NARUTO! Did you get all of that!" Iruka shouted.
Naruto and Sasuke both shot up, and Naruto answered, "What- I mean! Yeah I did!"
"Care to summarize what I just explained to you both then?" He asked rudely.
"Iruka-sensei, why do you disrespect Naruto?" Sasuke finally asked.
Iruka looked over to Sasuke and said, "What do you mean?"
"You and every other villager in this village all hate Naruto, and always glare at him and even try to hurt him sometimes. Why are you all doing it? What did he do?"
"Well he…" Iruka was a little stumped, he was never asked a question like this. "He… killed…" He couldn't tell them about the nine tailed fox being inside of Naruto, so he said, "In his past, he's done some bad things."
"Wha did I do to make all of you hate me?" Naruto asked.
"Well, it wasn't exactly you…" Iruka froze for a second. Wait, it wasn't Naruto… So why do we all hurt him? He has it sealed in him, but… he isn't it…
"Any answer?" Sasuke asked.
"No… Please, you both can go now…" Iruka said putting his elbows down on a nearby desk to think.
"Thank you Iruka-sensei." Both Sasuke and Naruto said as they left.
When they both exited the room Iruka finally said, "Maybe I have been treating him wrongly…"
(Naruto and Koga's apartment.)
Within two years, Naruto and Koga had managed to fix up the apartment. While doing missions, Koga would put all of his earned money into building the place back to 'living' condition. Finally it was completely finished, and Koga was relaxing on the couch in the living room. Suddenly the doorbell rang, and Koga went to answer it.
"Hold on, I'm coming." Koga announced when he got up. He still wore his black robe, and his red hair stayed at his shoulders. He also kept sunglasses wherever he went. Below the robe he wore a plain white T-shirt, and blue pants.
"Please hurry." The person outside the door said.
Koga went to unlock the door, and was surprised when he saw Itachi there. "Itachi, weren't you to go to a secret clan meeting thing?"
Itachi looked up; in his eyes Koga could read panic. "I'm sorry Koga."
"About what?" Koga asked. Suddenly Itachi got a kunai out from his sleeve and shot it towards Koga.
Koga grabbed his hand right before it was about to make contact with his skin. "Itachi! What the hell do you think you're doing?" Koga pushed his friends hand aside, making his kunai fly across the room.
"In order to get the next level, I have to kill my best friend." Itachi stated. "You're my best friend… In order to stop my clan, I have to kill them all!"
"ITACHI! What the hell are you talking about? What happened?"
By this time Itachi fell to the floor sobbing. "My clan is planning to take over Konoha by force… They want to kill the entire Hyuuga clan, and then they want to take over the Hokage's position."
Koga lifted his friend and led him to the couch, "Itachi tell me what happened in the meeting today!" It completely shocked Koga to see his friend breakdown like this, something very serious must have happened.
"Ok… I'll start from the beginning." Itachi sighed and looked up at his friend, "In three days, my clan is going to take over the Hokage tower. They plan to drug the Hokage, and since most of them are ANBU in the tower at the day, they'll take care of anyone who tries to stop them."
"We have to warn the Hokage…" Koga stated.
"Wait, I'm not done… My clan will then attack the Hyuuga clan, they are smuggling in Cloud ninjas as we speak to assist them in taking it over."
"This is bad…" Was all Koga could manage to say.
"My clan's greed and hatred is so powerful, that it has blinded them. They have to be stopped before their operation takes place. So, that is why I came here… To get the next level."
"The next level of what?"
"The Sharingan…" Itachi said. "In order to get the next level I have to kill my best friend, and apparently, you're my best friend."
"Heh, thanks… I guess." Koga muttered. "Is… your whole clan involved in this?"
"No, only my little brother is oblivious to what is going to happen." Itachi said.
"Itachi, this is serious, we need to go see the Hokage… now." Suddenly both of them heard some loud noises coming from the front door.
"Ouch… Sasuke…"
"Idiot, be quiet!"
"Looks like we have two people who now know about you clan's plan…" Koga muttered.
Hey, Naruto how much did you and your friend hear? Koga asked. He and Naruto had developed a mental link between their minds that Arashi explained to Koga.
Dad, well uh… The whole thing… We saw Itachi walking so we decided to come and surprise both of you, but then we heard you two talking about that… heh…
Sasuke ran into the room, his eyes were glassed over, "Itachi, our clan isn't really going to do all of that stuff, right? It was some sick joke you wanted to tell your friend? Am I right?"
Itachi looked at his little brother with regret and said, "I'm so sorry Sasuke… I didn't want you to hear that…" Itachi held in his feelings, but Sasuke began to cry.
"Dad! We need to help Hinata and her family!" Naruto shouted.
"Yes… we do don't we…" Koga agreed.
"Sasuke…" Itachi said to his brother. "Remember that question I asked you two years ago? This is what I meant when I asked it, who will you join… me, or your dad?"
Sasuke looked up to his brother, deep in thought. He smirked and said, "Same answer as last time, you're much better than our dad." Sasuke wiped his tears away. "It seems we're the two last loyal Uchiha members…"
"It does seem that way Sasuke…" Itachi said as he lifted his brother to his feet. "Ok, Sasuke, you and Naruto stay here, do not go back home Sasuke, I don't know if father is going to try and bring you to his side or not, but we can't take the chance."
"I understand brother." Sasuke said.
"We're going to warn the Hokage, you two be good, and don't break anything." Koga said as he grabbed Itachi's arm and did a Jutsu to transport them both to the Hokage tower.
"So… What do you want to do Sasuke?" Naruto asked.
"Think… I want to think about what just happened…" Sasuke muttered.
"Yeah… I guess it is a lot to take in." Naruto said.
(Hokage Tower.)
"Hokage-sama!" Koga shouted when he and Itachi teleported into his office. "We have some very important information that you need to know!"
"What would that be?" The Hokage asked.
"Allow me to explain…" Itachi walked over to the Hokage's desk and began to explain what his clan was planning to do, and how he and Sasuke were the only ones left out of the plan.
Finally after a long explanation Sarutobi managed to ay, "If all of that is true, than your clan is punished by death…"
"I know Hokage-sama." Itachi said as he bowed down to the man.
"I do need evidence that all of this is true though." The Hokage muttered.
"Here is some evidence." Itachi lifted up a scroll. "This scroll tells how the Uchiha bloodline can get a secret level to Sharingan that almost no one knew about. They wanted me to get this so I could slaughter the Hyuuga when we raided their place with the Cloud ninjas."
"This is… awful…" The Hokage lowered his head. "We can't just go attack the Uchiha, the people would not believe in our reasons. The people see the Uchiha clan as heroes who capture any villain in the village."
"That would mean that they would have to see the clan in the action of treason for them to realize that they are really not all they're cracked up to be." Koga said as he entered the conversation.
"We also should warn the Hyuuga clan, but tell them to keep it quiet, we'll be assisting them with all of our available Jounin, ANBU, and high ranking Chunin." Itachi said.
"This is horrible, we're going to be destroying one of our best clans in the village…" Was all Sarutobi could say.
"Also Hokage, do not drink your coffee in three days, they're going to poison it so you won't be able to help fight." Koga said.
"Thanks for the insight Koga." Muttered the Hokage.
"Thank you, we'll be leaving." Itachi said as he and Koga puffed out of the room.
"My… I'm getting too old for all of this…" muttered Sarutobi.
(Naruto and Koga's apartment.)
"Sasuke, we'll be staying here for a while." Itachi said as he threw a pillow from the closet nearby to Sasuke. "Be careful, act like you do not know anything big is going to happen in three days."
"Got it big brother."
"The same goes for you too Naruto." Koga said as he helped get supplies for the new guests.
"Got it Dad."
"I just hope that it all goes well…" Muttered Itachi as he sighed.
CHAPTER FOUR – ENDOk, that is it for chapter four, I hope you enjoyed it. I decided to keep Itachi as a good guy, and not go murder his entire clan, love it or like it, I really don't care.
1Q – You're an idiot, why don't you know what Harem is? (Added by author)
A – Yeah, um, I feel really stupid for not knowing, but now I do! That has to count for something… right?
2Q – In chapter one you say Naruto is 4 years old but in a paragraph you say he is five, wtf?
A – oops, yeah, I originally planned on making him five years old, but then I decided, eh, what the heck, I'll make him a year younger. Thanks for pointing that out though.
3Q – Why did you post two chapters on one day?A – Sorry, I wrote one in the morning and I got the second finished in the afternoon and I was like, what the heck, I'll update it again. I doubt I'll do a double update day anymore though.
That's it for now! Thank you all. Next chapter we'll see the fate of the Uchiha clan.
