Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
Chapter 7: Settling down.
Tsunade's jaw dropped before she glumped Naruto.
"Gomen, Gomen Naruto-kun."
"Daijobu Baa-san. I know it wasn't your fault. It was the councils."
"Gomen."
"Baa-san. Listen to me. It's NOT your fault."
"Demo..."
"Baa-San! Stop it! It was those idiots that try and run this village behind your back. Had I been here they would have killed me when no one was around. I use to stay at Iruka-san's unless Kakashi was there then I spent the night at either Shikamaru's or Choji's house. They were the only families that didn't mind having me over. I sometimes spent time at the Uchiha complex until Itachi left. After I left here I headed towards Suna. I traveled for just over two years before I came across a young lady getting attacked. I saved here before collapsing with hunger. I woke up two days later in her village. One of the doctors there had information on my mother and my father. She informed me of who they were and how Reidou survived the destruction of her village. They stumbled across the ruins and made a memorial for the whole village. They found the medical files that where hidden in a storage under one of the abandoned buildings. Later on Garra, Nii-san and Nee-san visited and kept my whereabouts quiet as Nee-san knew why they banished me from the village. I married the woman I rescued and Garra married the younger sister. One year into the marriage she died in child birth..."
"Naruto..."
"It hurt baa-chan... It hurt so much. Chi helped me pull through as did my two little ones, Sorko and Kita. Recently the land has been really bad and we were planning on moving to a different area to make sure that we could live off the land. Shikamaru coming made it a good opportunity to move on. We had to wait till Chi returned from a mission to come here."
"Who is Chi?"
"Add Ita onto Chi."
"Ita...chi... ITACHI!"
"Hai. I have proof that he is innocent. Itachi left the information with me and I hid it in blood scrolls that only I or Sasuke could open."
"Sasuke?"
"He and I share blood after I gave him a blood transfusion on a mission in the land of the snow. Princess Yukie became an aunt to the twins after she visited us."
"So ka. I will need to look at the information before I can clear his name but he should tell Sasuke by him self."
"Shall we call them back in?" Naruto said smirking. Tsunade returned the smirk and nodded. Naruto lowered the jutsu before calling for Itachi.
"Hai Touran-san?" Itachi said kneeling as he appeared in the room.
"I want to go see where I will be staying till we leave." Naruto said standing up
"Hai kaga-sama." Itachi said. Sasuke looked at Tsunade, who nodded at him and he lead them out of the room and tower.
"So what's the village like?" Naruto asked casually.
"Full of back stabbing bastard. The new generation of Shinobi's are better than the elder generation. The only innocent one was banished from the village five years ago and the old bastards would not allow any of us to go looking for him. They even banned me from leaving the village."
"Honto(really)?" Itachi asked surprised. Naruto's eyes widened slightly.
"Hai. He was the only one that understood me and knew what I had gone through even thought he never knew his parents. The minute the ban is lifted I am going straight to out of this village and going to find him."
"What if he is back by then?"
"Then he is back and I won't be leaving this god damn village." Sasuke said scowling slightly.
"Heh? That stand seems to be doing well." Naruto said pointing to the ramen stand.
"Hai. The new generation go there in memory of the guy that was banished they al think the council was unlawful in their decision. They tried to ban the stand from selling ramen but Tsunade put her foot down as she also liked the ramen from that stand. It also reminded her of the young man that was banished." Sasuke said before continuing down the street and turned the corner with Naruto and Itachi following him. He stopped and turned to his left where there was three large buildings.
"This will be where you staying while you are here. Touran kaga will be be in the middle block top floor at the back. The only one that can enter the flat are you two, your twins, myself and Tsunade-sama."
Naruto nodded before entering the middle building.
Two hours later.
Sasuke had left half an hour ago after making sure the two of them had been settled in before leaving them till tomorrow.
"What's the big idea Naru-chan? If he finds out who I am he will kill me!"
"Nonsense. Baa-chan knows about your innocents and is going to look at the information that you left with me. You have one month to tell him before I do. AND I will tell him if you don't tell him within the month that I have given you."
"Demo..."
"Nope. No Demo. Either you do it or I do. And after he has been told who you are I will tell him who I am."
Itachi looked at him before nodding slowly. "Fain, demo..."
"If he goes to attack you I will stop him, as will Tsunade."
Itachi lent against a tree trunk at the side of training ground seven. It had been three weeks since Naruto had given him the order and he still hadn't managed to tell Sasuke his true identity. He sighed before looking at the memorial stone. His aunts and uncles names stood out due to the biased of the village. Yes they were the villages police but there was no reason for them to be highlighted in such a manor.
"Ne!" He heard a familiar voice call. He looked to the right of the memorial stone to see Sasuke standing there.
"Uchiha-kun."
"So this is where you are hiding."
"I'm not exactly hiding. Touran-san is in a meeting with Tsunade-san and they kicked both their guards out and the ROOT A.N.B.U. As well. I stumbled across this place. It's very peaceful and I can clear my mind here."
"It has always been quiet here even when I trained with my team here."
"...I have something to tell you."
"Huh?"
"Okay first off I need you to swear that what you find out what I am about to tell you don't attack me."
"Why would I attack you?"
"Just promise me."
"...Fine I promise I won't attack you."
"Thank you. Now take a seat. It is a long story." Itachi said.
Sasuke sat down on the grass not far from Itachi and waited for Itachi to collect his thoughts.
"... Now first thing you should know is that is that the Uchiha family can detect lies. No matter who it is that is speaking. So you will know is I am lying or not."
"Hai..."
"Okay let me reintroduce my self. My full name is Itachi Uchiha."
"Liar. My brother is a killer."
"I was only following orders. Here." Itachi said handing the information that Tsunade had verified to Sasuke and let him read it.
Sasuke sat there shocked. "... W-why? Why did they order this?"
"They ordered it because they found information that they were going to over through Hokage-sama and kill Naruto. I couldn't allow them to kill Naruto not after they had put him through."
"Huh?"
"You were to young to remember but they tortured him in front of you when you were three. They thought it would be the perfect opportunity for you to kill him. However you did the reverse. You saved him. You bite everyone including father when they tried to separate the two of you. You only let me and Reidou near you. After that incident they stopped torturing him in front of you."
"... why are you telling me this now?"
"... Someone told me that if I didn't tell you within a month they would tell you instead and then let you beat me to a pulp."
"That sounds like something that Naru-chan would do."
"It would be."
"Have you seen him recently?"
"Who?"
"Naru-chan."
"Aa."
"Is he okay?"
"Aa. He is a lot better than he has been though."
"Huh?"
"OJI-SAN."
Both Men looked up and saw the twins running towards them with a younger man running after them. The twins had tears running down their faces. Itachi's eyes hardened upon seeing this.
"WHAT right do you have to chase after two young children?" Sasuke asked the man.
"They stole..."
"Are you accusing my niece and nephew of doing? They are four years old and would not steal from anyone!" Itachi said holding the two whimpering children in his arms.
The man gulped before turning to Sasuke only to find him glaring at him as well.
"If I find you chasing or hurting any child again I will have Ibuki question you and your members of staff. Now leave us."
the man couldn't get out of there fast enough.
Sasuke looked at Itachi to see the children hiding their face in Itachi's neck.
"Waa, he scary oji chi-san."
"Hai, hai. You are safe now. Oh! Before I for get. Sorko, Kita this is my brother Sasuke."
the twins looked at him before waving at him. Sasuke smiled softy.
"Nice to meet you chibi-chan's."
"Sorko, Kita, why were you wondering around without anyone with you?"
"We were lost. We asked that man for directions but he said we stole sweets from us and started chasing after us."
"Well we better get you home before your 'Tou-san starts to get worried."
"...Oji-san come with us?"
"Oji-san?"
The twins pointed at Sasuke and repeated "Oji-san."
Itachi looked at Sasuke who nodded.
"Hai, Sasuke-chan will be coming with us."
Itachi and Sasuke walked the twins back to the flats and up to their flat.
"Touran-san, you in?"
"Hai. In the kitchen."
"Come out here for a sec."
Naruto popped his head out for a second to see Sasuke standing there holding Kita's hand.
"Oro? Is something wrong?"
"Iie, I just told Sasuke who I was."
"And you are still alive so I am assuming it went well then."
"Hai."
"Good. Take a seat Uchiha-san. Tea is almost ready." Naruto said pooping back into the kitchen. He returned two minutes later with a tray with three cups of tea, two cartons of juice and a plate of sweets. He sat them on the table before handing the cartons to his children.
"Now that you know the truth about Itachi. You get to know about me."
"Huh?" Sasuke said confused.
"Sheesh, you were one of the smartest in the class. I'm Naruto."
"Iie, Naruto was a goof ball."
"Iie, I was a prankster."
Sasuke stood up with his fist clenched before slapping Naruto across the face. "WHY! Why did you wait until now to tell me who you really were?"
"Papa, you okay?"
"I'm fine Sorko, Kita. Sasuke I couldn't tell you who I was until Itachi told you who he was because the council was watching our every move until last week. Had they found out who I really was then they would have sent ROOT A.N.B.U after me."
Sasuke collapsed back in to the couch. "Gomen."
"It's okay Sasuke. I would have done the same." Naruto said smiling at him.
