Hey~ everybody! Dark0Insanity here bringing another chapter ^u^! The last two days were very hectic for me so I couldn't update until now but at least updating is better than not updating at all ^^.

Review Responses:

Silvenstein- ^^' hehe... opps? I feel bad that I had distracted you :( As for the guess, not quite... but you're close ^w^

Daydreamer1024- ^u^ I'm glad you think so.

sillyhater- :) Sounds like you really like this story and *clears throat* YOU'RE AWESOME TOO ALONG WITH EVERYONE ELSE! \(^O^)/

Sezu-Ni- -w- Don't worry, you'll get to see him fight in later chapters. I don't want to spoil it so I won't say a lot, but I will tell that they do meet in the future.

Jack's Ace- Sure ^^. Yoru is about 5'7" with a smaller body type than Itachi in "Naruto" with pitch black hair that spikes to the right and down with a fringe crossing his forehead going from the left to the right, not quite covering the blind fold that goes over where his eyes would've been. When he is with people he has a relaxed smile or smirk but when he is alone Yoru has a neutral expression and is very tense and most of the time when he's alone he traces the scars that he had gotten from his dad. Hope that helped ^u^

Guest45- It's alright, but I'm happy that you liked that scene ^^. X3 I would be lying if I said I didn't like to tease people. You'll find out who Yoru is talking to in this chapter don't worry ^u^

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Naruto characters, I only own Yoru and Okono.

Enjoy~!

~Naruto's age: 6~
~Gaara's age: 7~

I watched Naruto and Gaara spar from the sidelines. Gaara had learned how to maneuver his sand faster and sent it after the blond who had learned how to use his signature Multi-Shadow clone justu a few weeks prier to now thanks to Kurama and Okono and uses it to his advantage by confusing Gaara on where he was before striking.

A small worried look made its way to my face, We're going to have to go tonight aren't we?

I felt Okono nod in my head, Correct. You also might want to stay through the night so that you have enough energy to come back here without passing out on the floor.

A vein popped in my forehead as I grit my teeth, That only happened once thank you very much. But I suppose I should tell Naruto and Gaara that I won't be back until tomorrow night. I stood up and walked to where Naruto was laying flat on his back and Gaara were sitting cross-legged on the grass.

"You guys did good. But, there are some areas that you both need to work on." I paused to make sure I had their attention before continuing, "Gaara."

His back straightened when I called his name, "Yes?"

"Your defense and long-range combat is excellent but I would like you to focus on your short-range so you're not completely dependent on the sand and you'll be able to surprise your opponent, okay?"

Gaara nodded happily, "Okay."

"What about me Tou-san?" Naruto asked, practically jumping up and down in anticipation.

I hummed in thought before answering, "Your ninjutsu and taijutsu are improving greatly, but I noticed that you tend to rush at your opponent without a strategy in mind. So I want you to think of ways you could fight against opponents each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Alright?"

"Alright!"

I nodded, "Awesome. Now, I have to go somewhere but it'll take me awhile so I won't be back until later tomorrow night so be good while I'm gone."

"What are you doing?" Naruto asked

A smirk appeared, "If I told you then it wouldn't be a secret~." I held back my chuckles as Naruto pouted before continuing, "But you'll find out soon enough Naruto." He brightened up soon after as I let my chakra pool by my feet.

"Come back as soon as you can, Tou-san!" Gaara nodded in agreement with Naruto.

"I will." I promised, sinking into the ground and readied myself for what the next two days will bring me.

I sighed and finally started to breath; after almost getting caught in the Uchiha district I immediately bolted out of there like a bat out of hell while covering my tracks so no one would know where I went and even took it a step farther by keeping my chakra level to a bare minimum to not attracted attention while making fake trails to throw anyone that would've followed off of my trail.

I really hope that Itachi comes alone. I thought, laying flat on my back, I don't want to deal with a whole squad of shinobi. Okono was unusually quiet. He normally would either say something, scoff, or just sigh.

But he kept silent.

Which made my nerves instantly go on edge.

I strained my ears for any out-of-place sounds on top of the Hokage Monument and kept an extremely close eye in any changes in the chakra surrounding me while twitching at every other sound. When I no longer felt the warmth of the sun on my skin and the cool air replaced the warmth, a presence with suppressed red chakra was suddenly sitting on the ground next to me.

"Itachi." I greeted, nodding towards him.

I felt his calculating gaze on me before he did the same thing, "Hn." We entered a silent, one-sided stare down before the silence was broken by me.

"Before you ask how I know," Itachi stiffened but made no move to interrupt, "I have knowledge that the nations would kill to get their hands on. But that's not the reason why I asked you to meet me here, rather... I have a request."

His eyes narrowed, "What is your request, Eyeless Demon of the Snow?"

The corners of my lips quirked up as amused chuckles slipped past at hearing the name, "Yoru's fine you know, 'Eyeless Demon of the Snow' is quite a mouthful." I was relieved that the tense atmosphere was finally broken and replaced with a more calm one instead.

I could tell that Itachi felt the same.

I leaned back slightly and placed my hands behind my back as I tilted my head towards the sky, "My request is that you don't send your brother down the path of the avenger." A sad frown made its way to my face as Itachi looked at me with conflicting emotions as he tensed up once more, "I've seen what happens to him in the future and it's not good at all."

I paused to take a breath, planning on continuing but Itachi spoke up, "Are you implying that you want me hand over my otouto to you so you can make sure that he stays off of that path?"

I flinched but nodded, "You are correct, but I can sense that you don't trust me."

"Hn."

I turned towards him with my legs still crossed and placed my hands in my lap, "Then I give you permission for you to go through my memories and decide whether or not you think I'm telling the truth." I think I might've stunned him but after a few seconds he placed his fingers on my forehead and it took nearly everything I had to not block him out or accidentally drag him into my mindscape.

I felt him go through my memories of when Gaara joined Naruto and I, to the first time I woke up in this world without any sight, to my final moments in my home world with Okono, to me watching and reading the Naruto series, to the fatal day I had heard that my mother and brother didn't survive the plane crash, and finally my earliest memories that of which were only a blur until I could feel him slowly and carefully pull out of me with only a dull throbbing left behind.

When he pulled out all the way, I was met with a major headache. I groaned as I clutched my pounding head.

But I could feel his calculating gaze on me.

Though it wasn't long until he spoke with a hint of amusement hidden within his voice, "Mother Hen Mode?"

A rather large smirk appeared on my face as I snickered, remembering what Okono had said a few months back, "Apparently, that's what he calls it at least."

"Aa."

Once the pounding turned into a numb throbbing that was bearable enough for me to lift my head from my hand and turned towards the Uchiha, "You have to do it tomorrow, don't you?"

I received a nod, "Hai. Though I believe that my brother will be in good hands if I were to hand him over to you."

I smiled but it was quickly deflated, "But if you are going to have to pack his stuff rather quickly without raising suspicion." Itachi grunted in agreement before turning back towards the Uchiha compound. I followed his example and turned to exit the village before the normally anti-social Uchiha spoke once more, but didn't turn around.

"Farther up the river that runs through Konoha is a tree, halfway submerged in the river. This is where I expect us to meet before the end of tomorrow."

"Sounds like an idea." And with that, I sank into the ground.

When I came up for air, I was exactly where Itachi wanted us to meet. I was on a fairly thick branch within the tree that was strong enough to hold my weight if I jumped. I started humming the tune "Bad Apple" and turned my left wrist towards me. On it was a paper bracelet with a seal, I pour some of my chakra onto the seal and unlocked it, causing smoke to appear and the thing inside came out into my hands.

It was a seemingly simple katana with an average size blade coming out of the handle that fit perfectly into my hand.

What are you going to do with that? I jumped at the sound of Okono's voice, since he had been silent for quite a while.

But I managed to relax and sighed, First I want to know why you went silent.

I went silent because I had to seal off certain parts of your mind that the Uchiha could've easily accessed and erase pretty much everything. You're turn, what are you doing with that katana?

I smirked, Well, I was thinking. I work well with pretty much every type of weapon there is, so I wanted to see if I could manipulate the metal of this katana and shape it to any sort of form that I want without wasting all of my chakra. If I can do that, then bounty hunting and everything that will happen in the future will be a hell of a lot easier.

I see, and how are you going to shift the metal itself? My smirk grew wider as I sensed Okono's interest rising.

Like this. I gathered up a bit of my chakra on my empty hand and then raked my hand from the bottom of the handle, to the tip of the blade. My chakra sticking and wrapping around the weapon along the way. After that was done, I placed both hands on the handle and concentrated on the chakra-infused katana.

I already had a certain type of weapon in mind so all I had to do was bend and shape it into what I envisioned. Once I felt the handle snap in half, I knew it was finished. What was once a katana was now a scythe-like weapon in both of my hands. The handle itself was almost completely engulfed in my hold save for one or two inches peeking out. The two blades extended back along my arms and curved up before peaking past my head.

I twisted the handles so the blades were facing away from me and practiced a few swings. I even tried flipping before stabbing both blades into the bark, using enough force for a finishing blow. I smirked, "Now that, is awesome. Best part is that I only had to use the chakra already in the weapon."

Not bad, but it takes too long for it to shift.

"Yeah, but the more I use it the faster it will shift. Now shush, I want to practice." I ignored the chuckles from Okono as I summoned a few Clones and started trying out new moves without going all out like I usually would do and attacked.

~Time Skip To The Next Day~

I sighed as I hung upside down from the seconded lowest branch. I could still feel the sun's rays, but it was steadily getting colder and I was too on edge to go into my mindscape to pass the time. I had also shifted the two scythes back into a katana and back into the seal so I wouldn't have to carry it around and I wouldn't want to alarm anyone into thinking I was going to attack them or something.

Two chakra signatures coming up fast. Twelve o'clock.

I flipped up right and sat down cross-legged and had a calm, relaxed expression just as the chakra signatures of two certain Uchihas come out of the trees in front of me. Little Sasuke was on Itachi's back with a few scrolls strapped to the older Uchiha's sides. A smirk graced my expression as I felt both sets of eyes on me, Itachi jumped up to me from the lower branch and stood next to me as I stood on both feet, still as relaxed as possible.

"Yo, Itachi-san," I greeted, before angling my head towards the youngest here, "Hello there, Sasuke-san."

"H-Hello." Sasuke mumbled, digging his head into the junction of his brother's neck.

Itachi turned his head towards Sasuke, "Sasuke, this is Yoru-san. The one I told you about," Sasuke peaked up and I gave a little wave as Itachi continued, "He will be taking care of you for a while until everything settles."

I nodded and started talking, more to Sasuke than Itachi, "I'll also be training you as well, so you can get as strong as your Aniki." Sasuke seemed interested in what I was saying but didn't speak up.

Itachi lowered himself to the ground and let Sasuke stand on the branch next to him before taking the scrolls off and handed them to me. I took the scrolls from him and strapped them to my back as he turned to Sasuke. I decided that I would give them privacy and tuned them out enough until their voices were only a faint humming and only focused on the sounds around me.

Once they were done talking, Itachi gently guided a teary eyed Sasuke towards me. I took his hand with equal gentleness when Itachi handed Sasuke's hand over to me. Tilting my head towards Itachi, I caught the silent message that his chakra was telling me,

Take care of my otouto.

I gave a small smile and nodded,

I will.

He nodded back to me and looked at Sasuke, poking his forehead, "Be good. We'll see each other again, Yoru-san will make sure of it."

I grinned, "You bet I will, I'm not letting the plans I have go to waste." I heard Sasuke try and quiet a little giggle that tried to show itself. Itachi let out a few chuckles before kneeling eye-level to Sasuke and exchanging goodbyes once more. Sasuke and I stood on the branch and waved as Itachi looked back before dashing back to Kohona. Once I could no longer feel his chakra, I gathered Sasuke up in my arms and said,

"Now don't freak out. It's going to feel weird at first and it takes up a lot of chakra so try to stay still, alright?"

He nodded, "Alright." I guided my chakra down to my feet and sank to the ground with a familiar destination in mind.

And that seems like a good place to stop for now ^u^

Sneak peak of the next chapter:

"I know! Why don't we show you around! There's a lot of rooms here and it can be very easy to get lost."

"Sure."

...

"What is Tou-san doing?"

"I don't know, should we get closer?"

"I think we should."
