BlackRoseDragon97: Thank you. I am glad you like my story.

Ita1412: I am glad you like this story so much. I hope you continue to enjoy it. He followed Naruto because he actually found himself amused by him and he did feel lonely but he also was afraid Naruto wouldn't leave the village again. The problem with Sakura will come up again later. She is slightly jealous if you watched what she said to Naruto about Sasuke being sensitive about him and his clan then I think that shows that she feels Naruto could take Sasuke from her. Oh, the bath scene was my favorite part of the chapter because I got to show a different side of Itachi then his serious side.

Enjoy the chapter.

Naruto woke up comfortable and a little warmer than normal that is until he remembered he told Itachi he could sleep by him.

"It's not like it bothers you," Kurama said with a chuckle.

"Oh shut up it's too early to deal with you," Naruto said out loud as he got up.

"Do you have a habit of telling yourself to shut up?" Itachi asked.

"I wasn't talking to myself I was talking to Ku," Naruto said.

"You talk to the fox?" Itachi asked a bit shocked.

"Well yeah you can't live with someone your whole life and not talk to them," Naruto said.

"I never heard of anyone talking to him or her before," Itachi said.

"That's because no one would be willing to say it out loud I don't mind though," Naruto said.

"Well... do you want to eat something?" Itachi asked as he got up too.

"I like this Uchiha," Kurama said nodding his head.

"When did you start liking anyone?" Naruto asked a little shocked.

Kurama still has a bit of a problem for even Sasuke after what the clan did to him even though Sasuke never did anything to him.

"This kid wants to feed us something other than Ramen I like him," Kurama said.

"I will take that breakfast," Naruto said with an awkward smile.

"Maybe you should talk to the fox in your head so you don't look crazy," Itachi said with a chuckle as he went to the kitchen.

"He's right Kit you need to talk to me in your head," Kurama said.

"I would but you usually don't talk to me around other people," Naruto said in the mindscape.

"True it's because we don't need people knowing that we talk to each other Naruto," Kurama said.

"Hey what is your problem with Sasuke?" Naruto asked.

"He tried killing you or did you forget?" Kurama asked.

"I can't forget something like that," Naruto said.

"Then don't ask why I don't like him," Kurama said.

"You're so serious all of a sudden," Naruto said out loud as he walked to the kitchen.

Naruto and Kurama always had sensitive conversations when it came to Sasuke. It was always rough when it came to talking about Sasuke. Kurama just couldn't forget what happened in the past as Naruto could.

"Do you talk out loud like that often?" Itachi asked as he was making what seemed to Ramen when Naruto realized he had nothing in his house. "You need food by the way," Itachi said.

"I know but I was gone for a long time that I didn't go shopping," Naruto said.

"What were you two talking about if you don't mind me asking?" Itachi asked.

"I don't..." Naruto started.

"Go ahead," Kurama said.

"He said he likes you," Naruto said even though currently he is grumbling about having to eat Ramen still.

"Why does he like me?" Itachi asked tilting his head shocked.

"Charisma," Kurama said chuckling.

"Charisma," Naruto responded.

"Charisma?" Itachi asked confused.

"Yup and the fact that you were going to make us breakfast," Naruto said.

"Does he like my brother?" Itachi asked.

Naruto turned away not wanting to talk about it. Itachi looked over and saw it on his face.

"He doesn't like him then, why?" Itachi asked and then noticed the stiffness in Naruto's body. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to," Itachi said.

"When he was hell-bent on finding you and killing you we fought multiple times about him trying to leave the village the last time led to him almost killing me if it wasn't for Ku I would have been dead. Ku hasn't forgiven him for it and after that Jiraiya took me out of the village so Sasuke never got to talk to me after it happened. If it wasn't for Sakura screaming Kakashi would have never come." Naruto said seeing the shock and sadness in Itachi's eyes. "Don't feel bad it wasn't your fault," Naruto said.

Itachi looked down and then looked back up to Naruto.

"It was my fault though," Itachi said.

"Sasuke chooses to fight me not you," Naruto said as he walked to the counter to get two Ramens out of the cabinet. "He was angry that I kept standing in his way and he was angry that I wouldn't let him go. I didn't want him to leave the village so I guess when he realized that he almost killed me he calmed down but it was too late because I left and we didn't talk for three years despite him trying to talk to me," Naruto said.

"But you still forgave him," Kurama chimed in.

"Yeah I did forgive him I just never forgot what he did," Naruto said out loud shocking Itachi.

"I guess no one could make you forget something like that," Itachi said sadly.

"I wasn't talking to you but no I don't think anyone could forget a scar like that," Naruto said.

"Is that the scar by your heart?" Itachi asked.

"Yeah," Naruto said turning his head.

"Can I see it?" Itachi asked softly shocking Naruto.

Naruto didn't really know what to say but he lifted his shirt up and showed him the scar.

"You normally don't get scars," Itachi said.

"No, but this one was so much more," Naruto said as Itachi walked up to him and felt the scar shocking Naruto.

He gently brushed his hand over the scar.

"Does it hurt to touch it?" Itachi asked.

"No," Naruto said then he felt someone coming. "Go to the bathroom," Naruto said pushing Itachi to the bathroom.

"Hey you brat open the door," Tsunade screamed from outside.

Naruto walked to the door as he put his shirt on.

"Why do you have wards on your house?" Tsunade asked as she walked inside.

"Wards? Oh, wards I must have put them on when I was drunk yesterday," Naruto lied when he realized Itachi must have done them.

"You actually got drunk?" Tsunade asked shocked.

"I asked Ku to not heal me," Naruto said.

"Naruto by no means tell anyone you talk to the fox no one will be comfortable with that," Tsunade said.

"I know that already you told me that since I told you the truth," Naruto said.

"I know but you know I worry about you but onto what I really came here for," Tsunade said as she put seals on the room so only her and Naruto could hear and Itachi even though she didn't know that.

"What is it?" Naruto asked.

"We don't have enough evidence or testimony without Itachi so Danzou might not get charged to the full extent that we're trying to give him," Tsunade said not sugar coating it.

"What do you mean?" Naruto asked.

"We got him on the mutilation of what he did to the Uchiha clan's eyes but we don't have anyone to verify what really happened," Tsunade explained.

"Does Sasuke know this? I thought the council knew?" Naruto asked.

"They did but they aren't going to say anything in fear of getting incriminated themselves," Tsunade said.

"So what are you trying to tell me?" Naruto asked.

"Do you know where Itachi is located at the moment?" Tsunade asked.

"Yeah somewhere near the Fire Nation," Naruto said.

"Did you see him?" Tsunade asked.

"Something like that," Naruto said. "Did you tell Sasuke what is going on?" Naruto asked trying to brush off what he just said.

"No I didn't want to ruin his wedding and I was kind of hoping you would give me some positive news so I can tell them I have more evidence," Tsunade said sighing as she pulled a bottle out of nowhere.

"Granny I am still trying to bring him back to hold off from telling Sasuke as much as you can," Naruto said.

"Thank you Naruto I knew I could count on you," Tsunade said.

"Granny would if he doesn't want to come back?" Naruto asked.

"Then we might have to make some adjustments to the system here without him," Tsunade said.

"What about Danzou?" Naruto asked.

"He might just get charged with the mutilation and that's it and the death of Shisui Uchiha since he had his eye," Tsunade said.

"What would that get him?" Naruto asked.

"Ten years or more in prison depending on how much evidence we got on him," Tsunade said.

"Is there any way we can take away his chakra?" Naruto asked.

"That is something I am going to ask for," Tsunade said.

"Granny I am about to get ready to go see Shika so I have to get ready," Naruto said.

"Okay come by my office later we will talk some more," Tsunade said leaving Naruto's apartment.

Naruto leaned back against his couch in shock he wasn't sure what he was going to do but he wanted that bastard to pay for what he did to Sasuke and to Itachi. But he wasn't sure what he was going to do at the moment.

"Naruto what did he do to my family?" Itachi asked a deadly tone to his voice the first time he has ever heard it making Naruto open his eyes coming face to face with a killer making him shiver. "What did Danzou do? What was Lady Tsunade talking about?" Itachi asked his voice completely cold and detached.

"He unburied some of your clan members who had the Sharingan and put them in his hand and uses them for his own benefit. He also had Shisui's other eye in his own eye." Naruto answered nervously.

Itachi's chakra whirled around him and then he was gone. Naruto shot up immediately and jumped out his window.

"ITACHI!" Naruto screamed and started running toward the prison.

"NARUTO!" Sasuke screamed chasing after him.

"Not now," Naruto said but kept moving fast.

"That was Itachi wasn't it?" Sasuke asked sure of himself.

"Yes just go get Tsunade and head to the prison," Naruto said and then he was gone. "ITACHI DON'T!" Naruto screamed as he got to the prison grabbing ahold of Itachi.

"I never knew why he wanted my clan dead so badly but it was because he wanted to use my clan's eyes. He is the epitome of a terrible person. He KILLED Shisui for his eyes because he knew what they could do! He FUCKING KNEW! He knew what our plan was to do to our clan but he rather used Shisui's eyes for his own personal fucking gain." Itachi screamed as Sasuke, Tsunade, and Kakashi walked in the room.

Danzou was terrified. His worse fear came true and that was to see Itachi again. He was terrified of the young Uchiha.

"Itachi he is a bad person but that doesn't mean you are. You did what you thought was best for the village despite your own feelings. You saved a lot of people even before your own love for your family. You weren't wrong he was but don't become like him. Your parents don't want you to do this. What did they tell you before they passed?" Naruto said pulling the tearful Uchiha toward him and away from Danzou.

The cage was broken making Kakashi grab Danzou to a different room.

"He dug up my family, my clan," Itachi whispered and Naruto couldn't take the pain in his face.

"I know," Naruto said pulling him into a hug. "It's okay now you can come home. Your family, your clan would want that," Naruto said softly.

Tsunade, Sasuke, and now Sakura just watched the interactions shocked. Sasuke started to move closer to the two of them and they didn't seem to notice it.

"Welcome home brother," Sasuke said softly making Itachi look at him and then disappear.

Naruto wobbled almost falling when he disappeared.

"That damn bastard," Naruto grumbled.

"Naruto why didn't you tell me?" Sasuke asked sadly.

"Tell you what?" Naruto asked looking at him.

"That he was here," Sasuke said and everyone in the room left.

"I'm sorry I couldn't tell you because I was just trying to get him to talk to you without running away as he did just a second ago. To be honest, he didn't want to come back and I kind of understand why he feels a lot of guilt by what happened but I wasn't going to stop trying to bring him back. Just give him time to talk to you," Naruto said.

Sasuke looked disappointed and Naruto understood why.

"I'm sorry I was just trying to help you both," Naruto said.

"I know it's okay Naruto. I know who you are you give everyone a chance and you try to help the best way you know how," Sasuke said patting Naruto's shoulder. "Tell him when he is ready to come to our old home so we can talk," Sasuke said.

"Okay," Naruto said.

"One question before I go though," Sasuke said stopping right at the door.

"What is it?" Naruto asked.

"What did you mean when you said our parents said something to him before they passed?" Sasuke asked.

"Ask him Sasuke," Naruto said.

"Did he say something to you?" Sasuke asked.

"I'm not going to tell you what you two should talk about," Naruto said with a soft smile and then Naruto was gone.

He didn't know why but he knew where Itachi was without tracing his chakra.

"How did you know I would be here?" Itachi asked looking at the stone that Shisui's name on it.

"I figured you would want to talk to the other only person that knew everything that was going on," Naruto said.

"I should have killed him," Itachi mumbled but it was heard.

"No you did the right thing," Naruto said.

"I have a question for you Naruto," Itachi said turning away from the stone to look at the blonde.

Naruto nodded looking at him curiously.

"How did you know my parents said something to me that day?" Itachi asked.

"I didn't but I assumed and when I saw your face I knew I was right. I don't know what they told you but I know that your parents didn't want you to die to do something wrong. Despite everything I know your parents loved you," Naruto said.

Itachi couldn't help the sad smile that appeared on his face.

"Let me show you," Itachi said pulling Naruto's face to him with his eyes out.

(Genjutsu)

Naruto looked around he was worried.

"Ku where the hell am I?" Naruto asked but he didn't hear the fox and didn't feel him.

"Naruto don't freak out I am just showing you my memories of that day you were born from then on," Itachi said. "I was five when it happened," Itachi started as the village was in chaos around them. "They told me to stay and watch my brother so I did," Itachi said as they looked at the younger Itachi.

Naruto watched and he moved slowly following after Itachi.

"My clan was helping the citizens getting into hiding because of the fox. When it was over it was notified that someone with Sharingan was controlling the fox and as far as everyone knew there was no other Uchiha outside of the village," Itachi said as he showed Naruto his father's displeased faces and how it was starting to show with the whole clan.

Naruto saw how they pushed the Uchiha clan back, how Itachi was sent to spy on both his clan and the Hokage, how he met Shisui, how they became friends, how he met Kakashi, how his first team died, when Shisui came to him with one eye and killed himself, the night he killed his clan, what his parents said to him, what he did to Sasuke, and when he went back to the Hokage. Naruto found himself crying with a heavy heart.

(Genjutsu Ended)

Naruto found himself crying trying to rein in his tears. That was the saddest thing he ever witnessed.

"Don't cry for me," Itachi said with a sad smile as he wiped Naruto's tears away gently.

"You chose a side and despite you feeling like it was the right thing to do..." Naruto was saying but his sob broke the speech pattern.

Naruto pulled Itachi into a hug.

"I understand why you couldn't come back now," Naruto said.

Itachi's heart stopped at that moment.

Naruto pulled back and placed his hand on Itachi's heart. "You carry a heavy burden," Naruto said softly. "It's time you forgive yourself and come home," Naruto said so softly that it was almost dismissed but Itachi couldn't ignore what he heard and tears started to fall. "You're forgiven," Naruto said then pulled him into a hug again.

Itachi hugged back after a few seconds of holding back.

Sasuke was watching what was happening and he realized that Itachi might just come home from the one person in the village that is trying to run away. Sasuke was hoping he could get them both to stay just from being with one another.
