Chapter 7
Return Part 1
(Itachi POV 1 Year Later)
To say Itachi didn't get stronger over this past year of training would be a lie. He had been training with his father all year long, and Sasuke was proud of his son. Itachi had more or less mastered the 'Fireball jutsu', and his taijutsu was very good. He had even practiced kenjutsu, which he took a liking to. It had been a few days since Itachi's birthday and Sasuke announced the big news. That they were going back to Konoha, and be there in a few days. Itachi's mind flooded with so many thoughts about the Hidden Leaf. His main focus right now though though was becoming a genin.
"Dad are we almost their yet?" Itachi questioned bored out of his mind.
"Almost, by tomorrow we're going to be there." Sasuke stated.
"Really? So by tomorrow morning we'll be there, yes!" Itachi said excitedly.
"I'm telling you, all you talk is the leaf nowadays." Sasuke said.
"Wouldn't you be excited to go to a ninja village?" Itachi questioned.
"Well I guess it comes from the perspective." Sasuke said blandly.
"I really want to go to the Academy." Itachi explained.
"You're that hyper about going to the Ninja Academy?"
"Yeah I get to become a ninja and meet new people." Itachi said.
"That's good to hear that you're hyper to learn." Sasuke said smiling warmly.
"Also I want meet the rest of the clan." Itachi said.
"Uh well about the clan….last just say we're the last Uchihas in Konoha." Sasuke stated showing no emotion in his voice.
"Why? I thought you said our clan was prominent in Konoha." Itachi said clearly confused.
"Remember how I said an event happened to the clan." Sasuke said in an unwavering voice.
"Yeah, I remember." Itachi said somewhat depressed.
"Well that event changed the clan, and…there no longer in Konoha." Sasuke said.
"I see." Itachi said.
"But I also want you to be careful." Sasuke said seriously.
"Hn."
"The sharingan is a rare kekkai genkai, especially after the event that happened to the clan." Sasuke said in cold, serious tone.
"Really?"
"Yeah so don't go always flaring it about. But in the Leaf it should be okay to use." Sasuke said while preparing a quick fire jutsu.
"So people would want to…..steal…..my eyes….?" Itachi questioned as he shivered at the thought. Meanwhile Sasuke finished making their camp fire.
"Yeah they would." Sasuke said coldly thinking of how Danzo had many sharingans implanted in his arm. "Then again he killed Danzo. Although I can't disagree or agree with that, by all means what Danzo did wasn't right either. But the last thing he did was give me Itachi's eyes."
"But I shouldn't have to worry." Sasuke said with a smirk.
"Why?" Itachi asked he was still depressing.
"What do you mean 'why'? You're getting stronger each day." Sasuke said in an attempt to raise his son's spirits.
"Yeah!" Itachi exclaimed.
"That's the spirits. Now get some rest we'll heading to Konoha early in the morning." Sasuke said.
"Okay." Itachi said.
(Next Day)
"Itachi! Wake up!" Sasuke yelled.
Itachi woke up to see his father in a completely new outfit, which he hadn't seen before. Sasuke was wearing a green flak jacket and black under garments. And on the right sleeve was none other than the Uchiha clan symbol. He also had his headband tied around his shoulder.
Sasuke noticing Itachi's shocked expression simply said "This is the standard Konoha ninja outfit."
Itachi simply nodded.
(Few Hours Later, Itachi POV)
"Are we there yet?" I said while walking. "Of course dad is gonna say no. This trip is too long and boring I just wanna finally get there. Dad can easily just jump tree branch to tree branch while I have to walk." I thought.
"Actually yes, we're here." Sasuke said enthusiastically.
"Really?! I can't see it." I said. Just then my father grabbed me in a dark blur onto the tree he was perched upon. I looked forward and saw the giant village gates, my eyes widened. It looked amazing I could see some buildings, thanks to my sharingan. And I saw the most known feature to Konoha, the Hokage monument. The five heads that looked over the village. I also saw a few high ranked-looking ninja, doing guard duty I guess.
"Let's go dad!" I said excitedly as jumped down the tree and ran up ahead.
Sasuke could only smirk as he replied "Yeah!".
(Meanwhile)
Kotetsu and Izumo were doing nothing in particular. Izumo had to do rock-paper-scissors match just for Kotetsu to get back to work. Although they did nothing but sit at the village gates. Izumo decided to take pride in his work, while Kotetsu simply fell asleep. But today was a special occasion, because two special guest were returning to the village. Kotetsu still hadn't been filled in but couldn't care any more or less. To him it was a regular day, of sit down at the village gates.
"Hey Kotetsu, wake up!" Izumo yelled.
"Wha—what? Did we get invaded?!" Kotetsu said taking a kunai out of his pouch.
"No." Izumo said while as he rubbed his temples.
"Then why'd you wake me up!?" Kotetsu questioned.
"Cause the last two Uchihas are returning to the village." Izumo stated.
"Oh, I heard that Sasuke has a son." Kotetsu said
"Yes. W-w-wait is that them?" Izumo said shocked.
"I think it is!?" Kotetsu said he himself was shocked. They saw the two Uchihas approaching and calmed down.
"Hello Kotetsu-san, Izumo-san." Sasuke said.
"H-hello Sasuke-san!" they stammered it was weird to them that he now had a son and is a different person.
"And you would be Sasuke's son, what's your name?" Kotetsu questioned.
"Uchiha Itachi Jr." Itachi replied.
"So it's not just his name, he looks like the real deal. He looks exactly like Itachi, it's almost scary." Izumo thought to himself.
"Alright so we'll be going." Sasuke said.
"Wait before I forget, Naruto-san wanted me to give this to you." Izumo said throwing Sasuke a three pronged kunai with a seal on it.
"Oh thanks." Sasuke said as examined the kunai. The two then walked into the village. Itachi observing everything it was amazing. Meanwhile Sasuke threw the kunai and in an orange flash Naruto appeared. Naruto now had jaw-length bangs that framed his face. He also wore his regular orange outfit but had a white short-sleeved haori with orange flames around the bottom and sleeves. Although the back of the haori had no words, unlike Minato's.
"Teme." Naruto grinned while spinning his kunai with his finger.
"Dobe." Sasuke replied with a smirk.
"Naruto-niisan!" Itachi yelled gleefully as he ran to the blond.
"ITACHI!" Naruto yelled as he threw Itachi in the air with a bear hug, and caught him. Naruto then ruffled his hair. Sasuke simply sighed, but he could not stop himself from smiling as he reminisced.
(3 years ago)
"So Itachi what do you want to do!" Naruto asked enthusiastically.
"Play Ninwa!" Itachi said gleefully. (A/N mistakes on purpose, remember Itachi is three.)
"Aright so you're gonna hide first?" Naruto asked.
"Yeah! Cloe you eyes." Itachi said running off. Naruto then closed his eyes and counted to ten.
"Nine, ten…alright here I come!" Naruto yelled as he ran down the hallway. He first checked the basement where the laundry machine was.
"No luck."
He then checked Itachi's bedroom, he saw a toy box and slowly opened it. No luck, once again. Naruto than ran downstairs into the living rom.
"Itachi's pretty good and since his chakra is very small it's going to be diffcult to sense him." Naruto thought. Naruto then noticed a black shirt similar to what Itachi was wearing, under the coffee table.
"Aha I got—" Naruto was shocked as it was just a shirt. This kid as smarter than he thought. "I guess it's the 'Uchiha Genius' inside him." Naruto muttered to himself.
"Hehe" Itachi grunted a she suppressed his laughter, hiding behind the couch. Naruto having increased hearing thanks to the Kyuubi, easily heard him.
"I've got you now." Naruto yelled as Itachi ran for the hills. Naruto easily caught him though.
"Aww you got me." Itachi groaned.
"Hehe now it's my turn." Naruto said.
"Ah they better not have wrecked the house." Sasuke sighed to himself as he headed home.
"Haha I find you!" Itachi said chasing Naruto.
The chase was long and disastrous and the quiet home was now loud and nosiy. Hearing noise up ahead Sasuke could only sigh. He was a very neat person since he was young. And seeing the house wrecked was not something he was looking forward too. Reluctantly Sasuke opened the door and saw the house in shambles. All he saw before noticing the room was Itachi tackling Naruto. Both of them were laughing as this event happened. Itachi then focused on his father.
"Papa!" Itachi said running into a hug from Sasuke. Meanwhile Sasuke was staring daggers at Naruto while hugging his son. Naruto audibly gulped.
"So I'll be leaving, see ya later Itachi and uh Sasuke-e." Naruto said nervously as he walked towards the door.
"Itachi go to your room I have to talk to Naruto." Sasuke said calmly. "Okay." Itachi said as he ran upstairs.
Naruto tried sneaking but couldn't avoid the Uchiha "NARUTO! You're gonna clean this up.".
"Eh!?"
"Now!"
"It seems you've gotten stronger!" Naruto roared as he smiled at Itachi.
"Yeah! I activated my sharingan and my dad has been training me." Itachi said proudly.
"I'd love to see your new jutsus." Naruto said with a grin.
"Yeah!"
"Itachi wouldn't you like to see the rest of the villager?" Sasuke explained.
"Yeah I do want to see the rest of the village though." Itachi said conflicted.
"Well I gotta go meet with Hokage-sama, so Naruto can you show Itachi around the Hidden Leaf?"
"Dattebayo!"
"How about we meet up later at Ichiraku's?" Sasuke questioned.
"Sounds good!"
"Ichiraku?" Itachi questioned.
"Don't worry it's the best ramen, EVER!" Naruto exclaimed. Sasuke then walked off to Hokage tower.
(Sasuke POV)
"Being back in Konoha feels great. I really missed living here, back home but now I'm back. And now this is gonna be Itachi's home, in the village." I thought to myself.
I easily jumped up a large building as I looked around. I absorbed everything the old and the new.
"Konoha has really changed." I said to myself.
Meanwhile Sakura and Ino were walking through the village. They were simply shopping and hanging out, it was peaceful in the village. Sakura then felt a presence she was familiar to.
"Sasuke!?" Sakura gasped as she looked up to a tall building. She saw what appeared to be Sasuke. She then turned to Ino and yelled 'Ino! Its Sasuke.".
Ino then turned to where her pinked haired friend was pointing too. But all she saw as a dark blur and a few black feathers. Ino simply shook her head.
"You must be seeing things big forehead." Ino teased as she shrugged her shoulders.
"B-b-but I could've sworn—that doesn't—but." Sakura stuttered. Just then a raven flew circles above Sakura's head.
"See you probably were just seeing things, it was just a raven." Ino said reassuringly.
"Yeah but it's acting strange though." Sakura said looking up.
"Yeah it's just circling you like a vulture, or something." The blonde said.
"Huh?" Sakura said as the raven perched on her shoulder.
"Seems it took a liking to you. I always knew you attracted creeps." Ino teased which made Sakura mad.
"SHUT UP INO-PIG!" Sakura yelled as the crow simply 'cawed' as if laughing.
"Shut up you stupid bird." Ino said while pointing at the raven.
The raven then flew off but something was off with its eye. All they saw was a red gleam emitting from the bird's eyes as it flew away.
"Weird." Ino said while Sakura simply nodded.
"It was almost like it was a human." Sakura said in a distant voice.
While on his way to Hokage tower Sasuke now had a smile on his face. He entered the tower and knocked on the door.
"Come in!" Tsunade yelled while almost deciding to burn the stack papers in front of her. She gasped as she saw who it was.
"Tsunade-sama." Sasuke said bowing his head.
"Sasuke I see you're back." Tsunade stated.
"Yes and I'm here for to debrief you. Just like I promised when we first left." Sasuke said.
"This a going to take a while." Tsunade mentally sighed.
As if reading her mind Sasuke said "A lot of stuff happened."
"Take a seat then." Tsunade said gesturing to a chair that was positioned din front of the desk.
