And we're back! The story is back guys! Sorry for delays but, I was working on my new fanfiction! This chapter is very long, as in the whole Return chapter. This is all one chapter but split up, but all together its very big.

I'm also considering discontinuing the story. People haven't been reviewing and I've been getting no feedback. Which is another reason why this came out so delayed. Review and tell me if I should continue.

Also poll on my profile! If you guys want me to a remake of the first few chapters vote. "Crow's Remix" Chapters 1-4 remake.

Chapter 8

Return Part 2

(Itachi POV)

Itachi was simply wearing a black shirt, the standard Uchiha outfit. He also wore a gray pants with it, and on the back of his shirt bore the Uchiha clan symbol. Itachi often noticed he was getting looks of shock and even some glares. And even some girls were staring at him with heart eyes. He could hear some whispers.

'Who is he, I've never seen him around', 'I don't care he's cute', 'I might go over and talk to him'. 'Yeah right you won't'. At that moment all the fan girls purred in their own fantasies. Itachi shivered at the sound and looked to the other side of the street. He saw a nice looking tea shop, which sold one of his favorite treats, dango. Naruto noticed the young Uchiha eyeing the shop.

"Hey don't know about you Itachi but I'm a little hungry. Let's go get something to eat at that tea shop." Naruto said gesturing to the small store. Upon hearing those words Itachi immediately grinned.

"Okay!" Itachi said.

The two ordered their tea and dango and started digging in. Itachi delighted by the sweet treat and Naruto simply watch him engulf it.

"He's sure got a sweet tooth." The blond thought as he took a sip of tea.

"The dango is great." Itachi said.

"You sure seem to like it." Naruto said.

"It's one of my favorite treats! So nii-san will you tell me some of your ninja adventures." Itachi inquired excitedly.

"Okay, you'll just learn how awesome I truly am." Naruto said.

"No my dad's the strongest." Itachi said as he leaned back in his chair. He really looked up to his dad and wanted to surpass him.

"Well for a while he was ten leagues ahead of me." Naruto said with a grin as he thought back to the past.

"Really, I thought you guys were always even." Itachi said.

"Nope, he was very cocky back then, and my goal was to surpass him. But back then I wasn't the wisest ninja, or the strongest." Naruto explained as Itachi simply nodded in understanding.

"You were on a ninja team together?" Itachi questioned.

"Yeah we were. We were team seven and, as you know, our sensei was Kakashi." Naruto said with a smile.

"I see." Itachi said sagely.

"You haven't ever seen the team picture?" Naruto inquired.

"Hm?"

"Your dad hasn't showed you the picture?" Naruto questioned as he shuffled through his pouch.

"No he hasn't." Itachi said as his interest spiked.

Naruto then grabbed a paper out of his pouch, he then unfolded a piece of paper and passed it to Itachi. Itachi eyes widened as he examined the photo. He saw Kakashi who looked the same, he saw a blond boy who was smiling widely. He also saw a pink haired girl in a red outfit. And a boy who was smirking, with chicken butt hair and a blue high collared shirt.

"So that's what my dad looked like when he was younger." Itachi stated.

"Yeah we were thirteen in that picture, we just became genin." Naruto explained as he reminisced.

"Who's your other teammate?" Itachi inquired, focusing on the pink haired girl.

"Oh you mean Sakura-chan! At first she was just a fan girl but she trained under Tsunade-baachan and became strong. And whatever you do, don't miss with her." Naruto said with a grin as he scratched the back of his head.

"Interesting." Itachi said leaning back in his chair as he imagined becoming a genin.

"Alright ready to go?" Naruto asked the Uchiha.

Itachi then looked around to see fan girls surrounding all the other tables in the store. They all purred once he looked in their respecting directions.

"Great! Even here I'm surrounded." Itachi thought to himself. "Yeah I'm ready!" Itachi quipped as stood up which made the girls sad. They had a perfect view of the new kid.

The rest of day was just Itachi exploring the village. He also took a great interest in the Hokage Monument, which had an awesome view of the village.

"Wow this view is amazing….." Itachi said, it was a breathtaking view and he was amazed. He could see the lively village, which he wasn't used to. The Land of Ice was just a cold, snowy, small village. Nothing ever really went on except for Ryu's attack. Itachi didn't have many memories of Konoha, after all he was only three at the time.

But somehow seeing the bustling city calmed him, he felt at home. As if he's been here for years, like he knows every store and corner. He let the wind blow his hair, as he and Naruto sat upon Minato's head.

"Hey nii-san." Itachi said.

"Yeah?" the blond sad.

"Why did you pick the Yondaime-sama's head to sit on?" Itachi inquired, he always was onto pickup on the details.

"I'm glad you asked Itachi!" Naruto said with a grin.

"W-wait why?" Itachi questioned.

"Well I'm glad you asked because it's an important thing to me. Yondaime is actually my father." Naruto said as he thought back to the fight with Nagato.

"W-w-wow! You're Yondaime-sama's son…I should've noticed." Itachi said as he reprimanded himself for not noticing.

"Why should you have noticed?" Naruto questioned, he was clueless at times. But he had been getting better compared to when he was young.

"You two look alike, who wouldn't notice?" Itachi said blandly.

"Hehe I guess." Naruto said fixing his bangs which he hated when he first grew his hair out.

The two spent the rest of the day just talking atop he blond hokage's head. They talked until the sun started setting. They talked about Itachi's training and Naruto's 'ninja adventures', as the Uchiha called them.

"Wait so you had to use the Transformation Jutsu, so a princess would cooperate." Itachi said as he was barely able to form the sentence because he was laughing.

"Yeah, I had to turn into your father." Naruto said as he laughed as well. Naruto than made a hand seal while itachi stared into the sunset. Itachi turned around to see a younger version of his father.

"Wait, who are you!?" Itachi questioned confused but his voice didn't show it.

"Calm down Itachi it's me, Naruto." Naruto said.

"S-so that's how the transformation jutsu works." Itachi stated.

"Yeah it gives you the appearance of someone else, as long as you can keep up giving chakra to the jutsu. It's one of the basic jutsus you learn at the Ninja Academy." Naruto explained as he dispelled the jutsu.

After a few seconds the cloud of smoke dissipated all Naruto saw was Sasuke standing there.

"Sasuke!? When did you get here, how long have you been here?" Naruto exclaimed.

"Got you….dobe. I just got here." Sasuke said hesitating on the 'dobe' part.

"Hey where did you—when did you—just where is Itachi?" Naruto questioned.

"I already brought him to Ichiraku's. I'm just an s-shadow c-clone." Sasuke said blandly, but he hesitated at the last sentence. Naruto noticed this and the stutter, something Sasuke doesn't do, but he shrugged it off.

"Oh alright, just found it strange Itachi disappeared." Naruto said sagely. He sounded and looked more like Minato, since he started studying under Gaara. He was definitely smarter than before, but still a knucklehead by nature.

"Hn."

"Could be more talkative." Naruto teased.

"C'mon let's just go to Ichiraku's dobe. It's already dark out." Sasuke sun then set and the sky was dark, with the moon slowly appearing. The lights of the village will shined and it looked amazing from the Hokage Monument.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. I can get us there fast." Naruto said as he put a hand on Sasuke's shoulder. Naruto and Sasuke teleported in an orange flash. In an instant they were in front of the ramen bar. An aroma filled the air, which Naruto knew all too well.

"About time you guy got here….." Sasuke noticing the carbon copy of him.

"What's wrong?" Naruto questioned

"I didn't make any shadow clones…" Sasuke stated, he already knew what happened.

"Eh!?"

'Sasuke' made a hand seal and in a puff of smoke Itachi appeared with a satisfied smirk.

"It took me so many damn tries just to get it right. Meanwhile Itachi gets it first time and even fools me, great." Naruto thought to himself.

"Heh." Sasuke grunted as he ruffled Itachi's hair.

"Got you Naruto-niisan!" Itachi chuckled.

"Get real! I wasn't even serious." Naruto joked but in actuality he was didn't suspect a thing.

"Hey don't lie dobe, Itachi tricked you. Just admit it and of course pay for the food." Sasuke said with a grin.

"Fine…..WAIT WHAT!? I admit Itachi tricked me but, paying for the food!?" Naruto questioned as he stared at the Uchiha incredulously.

"C'mon let's just go either way you still owe me for the groceries that one time." Sasuke said as he reminded the blond of then past.

"I was hoping you would forget about that." Naruto muttered.

"I wouldn't forget, it's all recorded." The Uchiha said.

"You still run the mafia?" Naruto questioned. Sasuke put a finger to his mouth and shushed the bond.

"Alright let's go in." Sasuke said as he raised the flap and took a seat at the ramen bar. The latter also did the same thing.

"Ah Naruto, how is it going." Teuchi said as he turned around shocked. He saw none other than the Uchiha and his son. Teuchi had heard the rumors about Sasuke having a son, but now here he was in front of him.

"So you've returned Sasuke!" Teuchi said shock apparent in his voice. Over the years when they were team seven Sasuke became a regular customer. Even when he wasn't dragged along by Naruto. So Teuchi was used to seeing the Uchiha, but now he was seeing Uchihas.

"Hey Teuchi how's things going?" Sasuke said casually.

"Not much." Teuchi said anxious, noticing the tension Sasuke put a hand on Itachi's shoulder.

"W-who's the l-l-little g-guy?" Teuchi questioned with anxiety.

"He's my son. Hey Itachi why don't you introduce yourself." Sasuke said as Teuchi gasped.

"Hello uh…." Itachi said nervous but he still managed a slight smile, he was shy. Though he was excited to meet new people, he was still shy though. He had a whole village to meet and get used to after all.

"H-h-hello I-Itachi-kun, my name's Teuchi." Teuchi said nervously. He had served Itachi Uchiha a few times, before the massacre of course. He seemed like a kind person, protective of his brother. Loyal to the village always. Teuchi just couldn't believe the turn of events, with the massacre and the Akatsuki. But he had to remember this is not that Itachi, this is the son of Sasuke.

"He looks so much like Itachi."

"Hey old man is something wrong?" Naruto roared on purpose. He noticed the reaction on Teuchi's face and made sure to blow away his assumptions. Naruto knew when to be serious.

"Uh n-nothing. So what do you guys want?" Teuchi said in his regular tone as he passed the Uchihas menus.

"The usual." Naruto said, he didn't even need a menu.

"I'll have the pork ramen." Sasuke said.

"I'll have the same thing." Itachi said.

"Alright 10 miso ramen and 2 pork, coming right up!" Teuchi yelled as he walked away. Itachi stared shocked at Naruto.

"Huh? What's wrong Itachi?" the blond questioned.

"The….ramen…." Itachi said.

"Huh!?" Naruto was confused.

"He means the amount of ramen you're having dobe." Sasuke explained.

"Y-yeah that's ten bowls of ramen! How can you eat that much?" Itachi questioned.

"It's so good, that's why I can eat ten bowls here anytime." Naruto grinned his mouth was watering from the smell of ramen.

"It's not worth even mentioning he has eaten 100 bowls here, in one sitting." Sasuke explained.

"Really? It's that good?" Itachi questioned, though he couldn't lie his mouth was watering.

"AYAME! WE HAVE SPECIAL CUSTOMERS, GO SERVE THEM!" Teuchi yelled as he gave bowls to his daughter.

"Okay…." Ayame said as she muttered something under her breath.

"What was that!?" Teuchi asked.

"N-n-nothing!" Ayame said.

"Good!" Teuchi said.

"Uh here's your ramen Naruto." Ayame said.

"Ah thanks Ayame." Naruto said as he started digging in.

"And here is your pork ra—"

"WHAT!? When did you return Sasuke-kun?" Ayame gasped nervously not expecting the Uchiha to return anytime soon.

"Hello Ayame I retuned." Sasuke said as he opened up his chopsticks. Ayame then moved her attention to the young kid next to Sasuke.

"Is that your son?" Ayame questioned, she too heard of the rumors. Which seemed to have spread throughout the whole village.

"Hi, I'm Itachi." Itachi said with a cheery voice, he decided to take the initiative this time around. And he tried to make a good first impression.

"YOU ARE SO ADORABLE!" Ayame said as she gave the Uchiha a hug. Itachi could barely even breathe from the tight grip.

"H-h-help me….." Itachi gasped quietly to no one in particular.

"I should've known, the fan girls are chasing him here too. But he'll have to face their wrath." Sasuke thought as he began eating the noodle soup.

"Ayame-chan I don't think Itachi-kun can breathe." A voice sad. It was none other than David Bowie, aka Kakashi.

"Ah Kakashi-san, what do I owe this visit." Teuchi said as Ayame let go of the Uchiha from her death grip. "Sorry, you're just so cute."

"It's okay." Itachi said as he panted for air, meanwhile Kakashi and Teuchi were chatting.

Noticing Naruto eating his fifth bowl, Itachi finally got his chance to eat the ramen. He took a bite and was instantly smiled.

"This ramen great!" Itachi said as he began to dig in. Teuchi noticed this statement and smiled in pride, another satisfied customer.

"Told you it's the best!" Naruto yelled between slurps of ramen.

"Glad you're enjoying it Itachi-kun." Teuchi said proudly as he served Kakashi a bowl of ramen. Kakashi then unfolded his chopsticks and noticed everyone was looking at him.

"Why are you guys staring at me?" Kakashi asked casually.

"That jerk doesn't even know why." Sasuke thought.

"None of our plans ever worked." Naruto thought.

Both ninja simply rolled their eyes in annoyance meanwhile Itachi was trying to see his face.

"Well, time to eat this ramen…" Kakashi said as, in one quick movement, Kakashi swallowed the whole bowl. This movement was so fast nobody could keep up with it.

"Wha—but how did he….?" Itachi asked.

"Hey what's wrong?" Kakashi asked.

"But…you….just"

"Don't bother we've tried to see his face for years." Sasuke said blandly.

"Yep and you guys haven't had any luck." Kakashi said proudly at his own skill.

"Yeah but will one day succeed." Naruto said as he pointed his chopsticks at Kakashi. Just like how he did it when he had ramen with Iruka.

"I'd like to see the day when that happens." Kakashi said as he stood up.

"By the way what made you decide to drop by sensei?" Sasuke questioned he and the latter all finished eating.

"Oh I'm here on orders from Tsunade-sama to give you these." Kakashi said as he handed Sasuke keys.

(*Enter Legend of Zelda Chest opening theme*)

"You got the: 'house keys'!" Kakashi said cheerily as Sasuke lifted the keys into the air with both his hands.

"Great, now I just hope Lady Tsunade gave us a nice house." Sasuke said sarcastically.

Sasuke and Itachi then got up from their seats, Naruto paid for the meals as promised. They all said their goodbyes.

"Goodbye Itachi-kun!" Teuchi and his daughter yelled in unison. Itachi simply waved back with a genuine smile. He had met some new people.

"I'll led you guys to the house." Kakashi said. The latter soon followed David Bowie.

"Hey! Wait up!" Naruto yelled as caught up with the group. "Itachi want to train tomorrow?" Naruto yelled excitedly.

"Yeah! I can show you all my new jutsus!" Itachi said gleefully.

"I'm looking forward to it! See ya tomorrow at 8 a.m." Naruto roared.

"See ya nii-san!" Itachi said as Naruto disappeared in an orange flash.

"Oh yeah Tsunade-sama wanted me to give you this." Kakashi said as he gave the Uchiha an envelope. Sasuke opened up the envelope and read the letter out aloud: "Think of this as my welcome back gift."

"Must be a big house?" the copy ninja said.

"I guess so." Sasuke said imagining the possibilities.

The group of sharingan users then moved throughout the lively village. They finally made it to the house, it was big. Sasuke whistled 'whoot, whoo' as the three walked in. The house had three bedrooms and two bathrooms. And it was moderately furnished with basic things.

"Whoa this is actually nicer than I expected." Sasuke said as he examined the living room.

"I wasn't expecting this either." Kakashi said shocked he was slightly jealousy. "Why doesn't Bowie get a good house?"

"And they even engraved the Uchiha fan on the wall." Sasuke and Itachi said in unison.

"Wow." Sasuke said as he pulled out a scroll out of his pouch. Itachi ran to what looked like the door to the backyard.

"Awesome!" Itachi yelled.

Sasuke and Kakashi glanced at each other as they followed the young Uchiha's trail. They opened the screen door and found a complete training ground. With training dummies, some trees and everything. It even had tall strong walls, which looked like they could handle some destructive jutsus.

"Dad! Can you throw me my ninja pouch?" Itachi asked his father.

"Some target practice eh?" Sasuke said as he threw the pouch.

"Yeah." Itachi said as he took out three shuriken. First two shuriken he threw were easy bulls eye, he spun the last one rapidly. One last throw another easy bulls eye.

"Somebody wants to show off." Kakashi said gamely as he threw a single shuriken. He made some hand seals "Ninja Arts: Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu" Kakashi cried as the single shuriken multiplied into three other shuriken. Each shuriken easily made a bulls eye. Itachi's eyes widened instantly. He questioned how Kakashi could multiply the shurikens, thinking about it made his head hurt.

"How'd you do that!? You have to teach me that." Itachi asked incredulously.

"Meh you wouldn't be able to do it Itachi. It's an A-rank jutsu, it takes a lot of skill and chakra control." Kakashi explained.

"Aww."

"Anyways need any help unpacking stuff?" Kakashi asked.

"Nope, we're all good." Sasuke said pointing to the scroll.

"Okay well then, I'm off." Kakashi said as he walked back inside waving.

"See you sensei." Sasuke said sagely.

"Yeah see ya later oji-san!" Itachi yelled as he continued practicing his kunai and shuriken throws.

(1 Hour Later Sasuke POV)

I walked to the backyard to see how Itachi was doing, he was always training. He always says he wants to become as stronger than me, and master the sharingan. I opened the screen door, I saw Itachi on the floor. I dashed ahead I was nervous, something could've happened. I ran over to my son he was actually peacefully sleeping.

"You had me worried there for a second, Itachi. You're always overworking yourself." I whispered to Itachi. I didn't want to wake him up. He was looked so peaceful sleeping.

"Tou-san?" Itachi murmured in his sleep, he was somewhat conscious.

"Yeah, Itachi?" I asked as I picked Itachi from his resting spot.

"Today was the best day everrrr." Itachi said, he was very sleepy.

"That's good to hear." I said as we walked through the screen door.

"I really like it here." Itachi murmured as he closed his eyes.

"You should go to sleep especially if you want to train with Naruto." I said.

"Okay. Good night tou-san." Itachi said as he passed out.

"Good Night." I said as I put him on his bed.

I stroked Itachi's hair as he slept he looked happy, peaceful. I shifted towards the window it was a nice night full moon.

"It feels good to be back in Konoha, and to now know this will also be Itachi's home." I thought, the idea brings a smile to my face.

"Sometimes I wonder…..if you're watching over us….nii-san." I looked up at the moon.

"I have no doubts whatsoever….that I made the right choice." I glanced over at Itachi, I smiled.

"I wonder…if you guys…..are proud….of me? Kaa-san…Oto-san…..Nii-san…" I said, the sky was clear and the stars could be seen.

"I wonder sometimes…." I said as I walked out of Itachi's room.

Review!

Peace Out!
