Hello everyone, how is everyone?
Well I haven't updated any of my stories in a while and that's because I haven't really worked on any of my stories aside from here and there but I am appreciating all the reviews, follows, and favorites from all my stories and myself. I am going to finish all my stories so no one has anything to worry about.
I hope everyone has been having good days.
Reviews:
Mikuqueen: Yes Kisame is in on this.
TigrezzTail: Yes that is the plan. He actually wouldn't let anything happen to Naruto no matter the mission and it's not for Sasuke's sake either more for his own.
Mistress-Otaku-Uzimaki-Fox: Thank you :)
Guest: Thank you and here you go sorry it took so long.
Guest; Jasmine: He will on both counts. He shows his feelings more in this chapter than in any other of the previous chapters.
inuyasha16451: Thank you and here you go. :)
Have a great day everyone.
Naruto woke up to him being in a cage and he heard someone near. As a matter of fact, he heard several people around him.
"We should just take care of it now what is Pain waiting for?" a voice said.
Naruto peeked his eyes open and he saw a blonde he remembered being told was Deidara from Iwagakure. Then he saw another guy with a mask that was asking stupid ass questions in Deidara's opinion. He still hated Deidara for what he did to Gaara and was only satisfied with the fact that he lost his arms and that his partner was dead.
Naruto realized they didn't lock his chakra so he made a shadow clone and sent it back to his village. He knew there was a possibility of them finding the clone so he made it into a toad and sent it out. He was glad they weren't paying attention is what he thought until he looked up to make eye contact with Itachi. He could see the amusement in the older Uchiha's eyes and couldn't help but smirk.
Naruto played like he was knocked out still when everyone turned to look at him. Itachi was calculating and it showed.
"You got him," another voice said coming in the room.
"Yes," Itachi said standing up.
"I thought they were heavily guarding him," the voice said.
"He snuck back in the village with him," Deidara said.
"I would like to hear that story," the voice said.
"They heard we were broken up and they thought I would be useful for a case they wanted to bury so they sent him out to look for me and bring me back. I just took advantage of the fray and went with him," Itachi said.
"Good plan and you brought him back intact I assume," the voice said again.
"Yes, he is knocked out over there," Itachi said pointing toward the cage.
The person walked up to the pretend sleeping Naruto and just looked down at him.
"Do you know if he has a special seal too?" the voice asked.
'Special seal?' Naruto thought to himself.
"I don't know I never went near the seal to check it," Itachi said as he thought about the day, they were stuck in the shower together.
Naruto was getting a lot of information from this and he was glad.
"Kit I feel one of my brothers is here," Kurama said.
"You feel another tailed..." Naruto asked trailing off.
"Yes, I feel two to be honest," Kurama said.
"Maybe Itachi needs help getting them out of here," Naruto suggested.
"Don't fall for what the Uchiha says," Kurama said.
"Kurama he watched me send my shadow clone out of wherever this is," Naruto said.
"Yeah I know," Kurama said. "But I won't trust him until we're out of this situation," Kurama said.
"Well, what he is saying do we have a special seal too?" Naruto asked.
"Kind of but it's hard to explain," Kurama said.
"Well we can talk about it later because I need to listen to everything I can," Naruto said.
Kurama growled but allowed Naruto out of the mind space.
"Do you think anyone can trace him?" the voice said.
Itachi didn't say anything but the question was repeated.
"My brother could probably find him," Itachi practically whispered and Naruto knew what he was talking about.
'That's an amazing idea,' Naruto thought to himself.
"Your slow Kit," Kurama mumbled.
"Shut it," Naruto said.
Itachi looked at Naruto and only hoped that Naruto got the message.
"Itachi how can the two find each other?" the voice asked.
"My little brother has an uncanny connection with him so they tend to find each other fairly easy from what I heard," Itachi said.
"I heard the same things in my findings. I heard that their chakra is connected somehow," Kisame commented.
Naruto peaked his eyes open and realized he was facing a few people he didn't want to be facing. If Sasuke couldn't find him how the hell was he going to manage to get out of here without help. He could get to the others in here that were being held captive but how does he know they will help him.
Itachi got up leaving them alone with Naruto for a split second. He picked up the toad shadow clone and took it out of the building he was in.
"Listen to me, I need you to make you get Sasuke to come here before three days or you will die understand me?" Itachi questioned like he wasn't speaking to a toad softly kissing the toad's head.
The toad nodded his head and then Itachi made him vanish to Naruto's apartment. The toad then changed back into the shadow clone in time.
(In Konoha)
"Where is Naruto?" Sasuke asked Shikamaru knowing they were together earlier in the day and that Naruto was never late unless something came up.
He was supposed to meet Naruto for a talk about the wedding and the case against his brother before the day was over but Naruto never showed up.
"I haven't seen him since earlier," Shikamaru said.
"Damn I went to the apartment and the seals Itachi had up aren't anymore and they are both nowhere to be found," Sasuke said just as a clone of Naruto's appeared in front of him. "Naruto where were you?" Sasuke asked noticing the blonde.
"Okay before you freak out, I need to tell you something quick," Naruto said pulling his friends away from the public.
"What is it?" Sasuke asked.
"I got kidnapped," Naruto said.
"How?" Sasuke asked his aura changing.
"Because I was helping Itachi get rid of the Akatsuki and right now I am in serious trouble I am set to be drained in three days. You need to get to me," Naruto said looking at Sasuke.
"I thought they disbanded," Shikamaru said.
"Yeah that was for people to feel that type of false comfort most people feel when they think the enemy is gone," Naruto said.
"Makes sense but how did they get you?" Sasuke asked.
"Itachi," Shikamaru said.
"Yes, he needed me so we could destroy the Akatsuki but I can't do it alone I need you to save me. He can't be involved in me escaping because then that will out him, they know you can find me but they don't know how long it will take or how you can find me." Naruto said explaining everything.
"Okay, so what do I need to do?" Sasuke asked.
"I am planning on getting out once you come for me so please hurry because from what Itachi told me I am in danger," Naruto said just as the shadow clone popped.
"Fuck!" Sasuke said annoyed and ran to Tsunade.
"Sasuke what's going on?" Tsunade asked.
"Naruto was kidnapped and I need to go after him," Sasuke said.
"What? By who?" Tsunade asked worried and standing up ready to fight.
"The Akatsuki is still going on they are planning on killing him in three days and I am the only one that can get there to him fast enough for his life to be saved. Let me go," Sasuke said.
"Fine, I will put a hold on your wedding for you. You can take off right away," Tsunade said.
"I'm going to," Shikamaru said.
"Fine, hurry you two bring him back home," Tsunade said and they were out of the door before she knew it.
"How are we getting to him?" Shikamaru asked.
"Garuda," Sasuke said and summoned his hawk.
He loved his bird and he knew he could count on his bird to save him and Naruto anytime. He was actually considering giving Naruto some training for Garuda so he could summon him too.
"Garuda, we need to ride you so we can get to Naruto," Sasuke said to his bird. "Naruto is in trouble and we need to get to him as soon as possible," Sasuke said and the bird reacted right away.
The bird nodded at him and for a split second, it seemed like the bird wanted to just go without him.
"Are you fine with someone else riding you?" Sasuke asked and the bird made a sound like it was telling him to hurry and he couldn't help but smile. "Come on Shikamaru," Sasuke said and they were off.
Sakura spotted them and she tried to catch up but they were gone.
"Where the hell are they going?" Sakura wondered kind of annoyed.
She walked to Naruto's apartment first and noticed it was empty and then she went to Tsunade.
"Lady Tsunade where are Sasuke and Shikamaru going?" Sakura asked.
"It's a need to know situation but your wedding won't be happening until next month," Tsunade said.
"What? Why? Does it have something to do with Naruto again?" Sakura asked annoyed and jealous because she knew Sasuke would only push it away because of Naruto.
"Yes, it's because of him but not what you may think," Tsunade said knowing the tension between the teammates.
"What is it then?" Sakura asked annoyed.
"Naruto needs him," Tsunade said.
"OF COURSE HE DOES! He always needs him. When is it going to be about me and Sasuke?" Sakura snapped.
"SAKURA! Stop acting like a brat," Tsunade snapped.
"I can't believe it's about Naruto again. We pushed the wedding back for Naruto the first time now we're doing it again," Sakura snapped.
"NARUTO WAS KIDNAPPED SAKURA SO MIND YOUR TONGUE!" Tsunade finally snapped.
"What?" Sakura said shocked.
"He was kidnapped if you must know and Sasuke is the only person that can find Naruto," Tsunade snapped.
"Oh my god, why couldn't I go with to help?" Sakura asked.
"Because Naruto came to him and Shikamaru then they had to leave right away without talking to anyone," Tsunade said.
"Why didn't he come to me?" Sakura asked.
"Because you can't find him as Sasuke can," Tsunade said sighing.
"Why does everyone say that?" Sakura said pouting annoyed.
They were at least a day away from Naruto after all the flying they did. Sasuke had to put Garuda away for a while as the two made a camp.
"We should be wherever Naruto is by tomorrow hopefully," Sasuke said as he set up his sleeping bag.
"I knew something like this was going to happen," Shikamaru said.
"Why didn't you tell anyone?" Sasuke asked.
"I did," Shikamaru said.
"Who? No wait let me guess Naruto?" Sasuke asked.
"Yeah," Shikamaru said leaning against the tree. "Go ahead and get some sleep while I keep watching," Shikamaru said.
"What about you?" Sasuke asked.
"I will wake you up in a few hours before sunrise. You need it more than me I'm the brains in this and you're the muscle," Shikamaru said.
"Whatever," Sasuke said and turned away and went to sleep.
Sasuke couldn't sleep long and woke up way before sunrise. He was too nervous about Naruto being gone and out of contact with him. It made his nerves feel crazy and he didn't like it at all. He wasn't sure what he would do if Naruto did perish.
(By Naruto)
"I don't like how dark it is," Naruto said as he thought about all the memories he got from his clone.
He remembered Itachi's memo about three days and how he kissed his forehead as a toad then sent him away. He just hoped that Itachi wasn't setting him up. He really wasn't sure his or Sasuke's heart could keep going if that happened. Sasuke would be crushed and he couldn't help but feel the ache coming from his scar making him touch it softly.
"Does it hurt?" Itachi's voice came in the dark room.
"It aches," Naruto said sadly.
"Does that happen often?" Itachi asked his red eyes being seen in the room.
"No, but it pains me right now. It usually happens when I'm worried about Sasuke," Naruto said.
Itachi didn't understand why but that irritated him.
"What are you in here for anyway?" Naruto asked.
"I need to see your seal," Itachi said then Naruto realized he was about to be in a Genjutsu again.
(Genjutsu Realm)
"Let me see it," Itachi said and Naruto was confused.
"See what?" Naruto asked.
"The scar," Itachi said.
Naruto was shocked but lifted his shirt. Itachi approached him and touched it gently shocking Naruto.
"Where does it hurt?" Itachi whispered.
Naruto was shocked but moved Itachi's hand to where it stung and he couldn't help but gasp at the contact.
"Does it still hurt?" Itachi whispered again making eye contact with Naruto only for them to leave the genjutsu.
"No," Naruto whispered.
"Good," Itachi said with an odd smirk on his face.
Naruto was sure they just shared a moment and he couldn't help but blush when Itachi left the room. He wasn't sure what was going on but he was confident in the fact that he might just be falling for the older Uchiha and that scared him.
Itachi was outside the room trying to even his breathing at the thought of touching Naruto. He didn't understand when he started liking the blonde but he knew he did. He wasn't naïve when it came to his feelings, he was just better at controlling them which he seemed to not be able to do with Naruto. He needed to get out of here before they found out how he really felt about Naruto. He was going to lose his role here if his little brother didn't get here in time to save Naruto because he is sure as hell wasn't going to let the blonde die that's for sure.
He pushed his hair back and walked to his room a few doors down from where they were keeping Naruto and came face to face with Kisame. Itachi sighed and put up silencing seals so no one could hear them.
"What is it?" Itachi asked.
"He is getting suspicious of you," Kisame said.
"But not of you?" Itachi said.
"Of course, not because he doesn't think we're that close," Kisame said.
"That's good," Itachi whispered.
"Itachi what are we going to do about the blonde in there?" Kisame asked in a serious tone which was already rare.
"Hopefully my brother gets here before the day," Itachi said.
"Yeah but what if he doesn't?" Kisame asked.
"I will worry about that when the time comes," Itachi said laying on his bed.
That was Kisame's cue to leave even though he wanted more information but he just let it be. Itachi knew if Naruto knew about the other jinchuriki he would want to save them too but Itachi couldn't care about them when Naruto was here and in danger. He couldn't let Naruto get caught and killed.
(The Next Day)
They woke up early and Sasuke summoned Garuda right away ready to go. He wanted to get to Naruto quickly and he was sure Shikamaru wanted to get to him too. Shikamaru was probably the person Naruto was closest to after Sasuke so he understood the fear of losing Naruto.
Sasuke wasn't sure where Naruto was but he was sure Garuda knew where Naruto was. Garuda was moving really fast through the sky and the trees. Sasuke was sure that Garuda knew where he was going but he was getting nervous about flying into view.
"Garuda are we close?" Sasuke asked.
Garuda made a noise stating that they were and he lowered himself on a tree close to a building.
"Naruto," Shikamaru whispered because he could feel something coming from the building.
"Where are we Shika?" Sasuke asked.
"I think we got here in a day and a half and we're in Ame how?" Shikamaru asked.
"My summon can move faster than a normal bird and we can get here faster," Sasuke said.
"I hope Naruto is still good," Shikamaru said and then there was an explosion.
Naruto was as big as the fox and Sasuke was worried about Naruto that he just dived toward the tower without Garuda and Shikamaru.
"SASUKE!" Shikamaru screamed but the hawk wouldn't let Shikamaru leave to like he knew what his master wanted.
"Naruto," Sasuke said going toward the blonde.
"SASUKE! Help the GIRL!" Naruto screamed as he spotted someone.
"WHAT ABOUT YOU!" Sasuke screamed but Garuda seemed to know what the two wanted and flew to the girl and the other guy that was struggling to move away from the building.
"GARUDA GET THEM TO SAFETY!" Naruto screamed and the bird cawed picking the two up and flying away with Shikamaru.
"CATCH THE FOX!" Pain screamed. "NEVER MIND CATCH THE YOUNGER UCHIHA! THE BLONDE WON'T LEAVE WITHOUT HIM!" Pein snapped at his followers.
Naruto leaped to Sasuke as he summoned his toad.
"Gamakichi takes us away from here," Naruto said grabbing Sasuke and then they were gone.
Itachi cringed at the pain of the attack that landed on him.
"Itachi what the hell happened?" Pain snapped.
"Shut up," Itachi growled his eyes out glaring at Pain from the pain he was going through.
He knew it was all an act but damn did Naruto have to attack him in the process.
'Yes, he did they don't trust you,' Itachi supplied to his way of thinking.
"Itachi are you okay?" Konan asked.
"He hit me with one of his fox tails," Itachi groaned out as he felt a bruise appearing on his body.
As he tried to move his legs did give out a little bit and he had to remember to hit Naruto later on for it.
"He has a few broken ribs," Konan said as she examined him.
Itachi looked irritated even more now that he knew what was wrong with him. He was sure it was the fox getting back at him for hurting Naruto's feelings he supposed. He was still going to pay Naruto back tenfold when he got back to him.
(By Naruto)
"Naruto what the hell? Where is my brother?" Sasuke snapped.
"He is still at the Akatsuki hideout right now he has to be," Naruto said as he patched up the girl jinchuriki he met named Fu.
"Utakata how did you get caught? Where is Hotaru?" Naruto asked as he looked at the older male jinchuriki.
"I don't know where she is but that damn bastard Pain caught me," Utakata growled out.
"How long?" Naruto asked.
"Right after you left," Utakata said.
"Utakata that was two years ago. Where would Hotaru go if you're not around?" Naruto asked.
"I don't know she was supposed to come with me," Utakata said.
"Isn't that the mission where you went to Tsuchimugo village?" Shikamaru asked as he helped bandage Utakata.
"Yes," Naruto said.
"Then she might have gone back," Shikamaru said.
"Well then I have to go back to her," Utakata said.
"No, you can't it's not a good idea," Naruto said.
"Why the hell not?" Utakata snapped.
"I agree with Naruto on this one you can't go because they know where you will be going if she really meant that much to you but I can go and sneak in and out without anyone knowing," Shikamaru said.
"What? Why would you do that for me?" Utakata asked.
"Because you're a friend of Naruto's who is my friend and right now I am the only person that they didn't see and I'm the only person not being looked for. If you all want we can all go together but I will be the only one to go in," Shikamaru said.
"I would feel much more comfortable doing that," Naruto said getting a nod from Utakata.
"But she needs serious medical attention," Sasuke said directing his head toward Fu.
"You take her back on Garuda then and explain everything once we grab Hotaru we will be right behind you I promise," Naruto said.
"Fine but you better come back after that no more pit stops or I will hunt you down," Sasuke said as he summoned Garuda.
"Actually Sasuke can we ride Garuda and you can go with Gamakichi?" Naruto asked.
"What do you mean?" Sasuke asked.
"We can ride him while Gamakichi can disappear and appear back in the village it's much quicker that way you won't get caught from whoever is following us and you know I will be safe with Garuda," Naruto explained.
"Fine summon your toad then," Sasuke said slightly annoyed because he didn't like the thought of letting Naruto go by himself to whatever he was planning.
"I promise I will be safe," Naruto said hugging his friend after he put Fu in his arms and told him to get in the toad's mouth then told Gamakichi where to go and what to do then they were gone.
"Well let's go then," Shikamaru said getting a nod from Utakata.
"Hey Garuda," Naruto said with a smile and the bird nuzzled him happily as the other two got on the bird. "Sorry about this buddy," Naruto said as he got on the bird and it flew off.
"Utakata where should we land to not get spotted?" Shikamaru asked.
Three guys on a giant bird were just weird for all of them aside from Naruto who was too used to being around Sasuke and now kind Itachi. He was in close contact with Shikamaru too just not as much and not like this.
"Over in the hills," Utakata said and Naruto directed the bird there.
"Garuda you did good," Naruto said patting the bird and then sent him off. "Let's get this over with quickly before they try to look for you and by accident me here," Naruto said as they snuck where Hotaru used to live.
"Hotaru?" Utakata called. "Hotaru?" Utakata called again.
It was quite dark when they got to the village and it didn't help that the guards were twice as many as before and that made Utakata and Naruto more nervous than before about the aspect.
"Hotaru?" Utakata called again then he heard a voice.
"Master?" the voice called out.
Utakata moved quickly and ran toward the voice. When he got there he saw an older version of Hotaru and she was shocked.
"Why did you leave?" Hotaru asked sadness in her voice and tears started to form in her eyes.
"We don't have time to explain you need to come with us or he will be caught again and this time I won't be able to save him," Naruto said making his appearance in the room known.
"Naruto? What are you doing here?" Hotaru asked.
"Never mind that we have to get going I'm not trying to be caught again here now," Naruto said as he summoned his toad. "Gama, can you hold us four?" Naruto asked.
"I can put them in my mouth and you can be on top?" Gamakichi said.
"I need to get to the village fast without stops," Naruto said and then summoned the other one known as Gamatatsu. "I need you both to take us to the village as quickly as we can without us being seen by the outer world," Naruto said getting a nod from both of them. "Now everyone we have to go," Naruto said.
"Where are we going?" Utakata asked.
"Utakata we have to go back to the hidden leaf if we don't we're sitting ducks on it the real world," Naruto explained.
"Why?" Hotaru asked.
"Because the Akatsuki is trying to kill us," Naruto answered getting Utakata irritated.
"Which toad should we go in?" Utakata asked stubbornly.
"Gamatatsu," Naruto answered as he pulled Shikamaru to him. "Get in," Naruto said watching them.
They did as he said.
"Listen to me Gamatatsu don't let them out of your mouth until I get there," Naruto whispered.
"Okay boss," Gamatatsu said and then he was gone.
"Let's get going Shikamaru," Naruto said and walked in the toad's mouth with Shikamaru behind him then they were gone in front of the gates of the village. "Thanks a lot," Naruto said to his toads as Gamatatsu let Utakata and Hotaru out of the mouth.
Naruto didn't want them to run away with each other only for Utakata to get caught again.
"Stay here for the night and I will help you get away from the Akatsuki," Naruto said as he looked at Utakata.
"You want to help me?" Utakata asked.
"Of course so stay here and help me defeat the Akatsuki," Naruto said.
"Fine I will help you get rid of them," Utakata said shaking his hand.
"Naruto I am relieved you're okay but you could have at least came to see me," Tsunade said as she watched the two jinchuriki's talk.
"Sorry granny I just needed to help out a friend," Naruto said. "It's fine that they stay here right?" Naruto asked.
"It's no problem, but where are you from?" Tsunade asked.
"I am only a wanderer my name is Utakata and this Hotaru she is from the Tsuchimugo village," Utakata answered.
"Hello, I am the Hokage of the Leaf village my name is Tsunade. I would like to check you up to considering I checked up and healed Fu from her wounds.
"Fu is still here?" Utakata asked.
"Yes and we're not sure about sending her back to her village," Tsunade said.
"It would be safe for the three of us to stay in the same village. The only other jinchuriki the Akatsuki doesn't have is the eight tails," Naruto said. "We're six, seven, and nine," Naruto commented as he thought about it.
"That is pretty powerful if we can fight together," Utakata said with a smirk.
Naruto smiled and looked at Tsunade like he had more to say but he couldn't talk in front of anyone about it.
"I have guest rooms on my property," Sasuke said standing behind them.
Naruto smiled and nodded his head at him only to get a smirk at him. Utakata and Hotaru took the invitation and followed Sasuke.
"I will see you later Naruto but if you need me come to my house," Shikamaru said patting Naruto on his shoulder.
Naruto was left with Tsunade.
"We are going to need to talk," Tsunade said.
"Tomorrow," Naruto whispered exhausted.
He was too tired to want to talk and he was feeling emotionally drained. He hit Itachi today with an attack he barely ever used. He knew he hurt the older Uchiha but at least they would trust him now. He barely made it into his apartment putting up the boundary seals for his apartment again as he felt drained leaning against the wall only to move his feet to his bed.
He went face first into his bed and couldn't help the dizziness that came to his eyes. He had a long night considering he didn't sleep he was too paranoid to sleep with the Akatsuki around but now that he was home he felt better.
Naruto woke up in the middle of the night to his shoes off and his shirt and him tied up again.
"Oh give me a break," Naruto groaned as he tried to move his hands. "Come on," Naruto growled struggling when Itachi came into view from the bathroom door. "Oh come on I helped you out and now your back are you crazy?" Naruto asked slightly annoyed.
"Is that what you calling helping me?" Itachi asked slightly annoyed himself.
"Well you had to get injured somehow so it didn't look like you helped me out," Naruto said.
"Naruto I think you went a little far hitting me with the fox tail," Itachi said as he stood above Naruto.
"At least I didn't hit you with all nine," Naruto commented back.
Itachi climbed above Naruto onto the bed his eyes making Naruto's heart do jumping jacks.
"You could have at least warned me," Itachi said.
"How would I have done that?" Naruto asked as he stopped struggling. "In between you helping me out of the cage or me getting out of the building. Why didn't you tell me there were others like me there? Utakata was there," Naruto said.
"I knew you would waste more time in there," Itachi said.
"They could have died," Naruto snapped back.
"I would rather you be safe than worry about them," Itachi said.
"So you're willing to sacrifice others for me?" Naruto asked annoyed.
"Yes, I would because unlike them the only thing special that would prevent us from getting to the fox is your father," Itachi said. "It would have been mere minutes to get rid of the guards for you and then boom you would have been dead," Itachi said annoyed as he moved.
"I don't care you were still willing to sacrifice them for me and that bothers me," Naruto said.
"I would have never let you die and then my cover would have been blown then we both would have been sacrificed," Itachi said.
"You have a mission and so did I. I'm not going to let someone die just because I am in danger," Naruto said.
"Well, it's a good thing I am selfish when it comes to the people I care about most," Itachi said shocking Naruto into silence.
"What..." Naruto started but something in Itachi's eyes told him not to talk so he didn't. "Can you release me?" Naruto asked after a minute of no talking went by.
Itachi didn't hesitate on letting him go and when Naruto was released he gave Itachi a hug.
"I'm sorry," Naruto said softly. "I know you wanted to just keep me safe but I couldn't leave them behind especially because one of them was my friend. I'm not going to say I would have ignored them if he wasn't down there but still it made it harder to ignore..." Naruto was stopped as Itachi kissed him on the lips.
Naruto froze in disbelief not really sure what to do. Itachi pulled away giving Naruto a shy smile that made Naruto's heart leap. Itachi liked him like actually liked him. Naruto pulled Itachi back and kissed him back. It was a chaste kiss but they both knew what the other meant.
"I will protect you," that was what the kiss was saying and it didn't matter that only the two knew what the other was saying. It didn't matter that they were technically on opposite sides. Nothing mattered aside from what they knew about each other and how they felt about each
"I will be back," Itachi said.
"Wait..." Naruto said grabbing Itachi's hand.
"What is it?" Itachi asked.
"I know this is just a clone but I need to tell you that we plan to attack here," Naruto said.
"Okay I can take care of a few members but Pain and Konan are another story," Itachi said.
"Do you think that us jinchuriki can take him if we are facing him together?" Naruto asked.
"I don't think that should be a problem but I will still help you so don't worry," Itachi said as he rubbed Naruto's cheek.
"I'm not worried," Naruto said blushing.
"You are," Itachi said kissing Naruto's lips again and then he vanished in a sea of crows.
"Bastard," Naruto groaned as he leaned back in his bed but his face was hot and he could feel that he was blushing.
"Kit you like the older Uchiha," Kurama said.
"Are you okay with him now?" Naruto asked.
"We shall see," Kurama said.
"Oh let it go," Naruto said as he turned to go to sleep again now that he didn't feel so restrained.
Reviews...
So they kind of admitted their feelings for one another. Just remember in this story Itachi really isn't trying to be selfish but he can't help it especially now that his feelings for Naruto are growing. You know I was always curious about what happened to Hotaru when Utakata disappeared so in this story I just let her go back to the village.
Utakata and Fu both got special seals you will read about later.
