New chapter
Itachi suddenly found himself back in the real world where the others were looking at him curiously. He quickly relayed all the details to the others but left out Kyuubis personal warning to him. He thought about what the kitsune had said about the unsealing of Narutos memories and began to feel a bit worried. Although he didn't regret what he had done so long ago, it could possible piss off the blonde.
Narutos' whimpering and screaming stopped but he continued to shiver. He would occasionally yell in pain as well as mutter out a few phrases in between.

Meanwhile in Naruto's mind…
The fourth Hokage held his newborn son in his hands. Innocent blue eyes looked up at him and he reached down and touched the chubby and unmarred cheeks. Surprisingly the baby wasn't crying the way most newborns are proned to do at such a young age, he was quite calm, seemingly unaware of the chaos that was going on all around him.
"my son if only I would be alive to see you grow up. I would have been the happiest man alive." minato told him sadly. "I'm sorry for the huge burden I'm about to place on you but you were the only one that could be used for this, nor would I ever ask another to do what I could not. I have asked that you be treated as a hero in this village for doing what no one else could. I'm sure that they will honor my last request." he said but even the innocent baby could see the doubt in his eyes that the villagers would keep their word.
"forgive me Naruto and become strong." Minato said to the baby.
Then Naruto felt himself being carried out into the night amidst the chaos and bloodshed of the raging battlefield. He was now on top of Gamabunta along with his father as the fox stood before them. His father began doing rapid handsigns after placing him on a spot on the large toads head. Then he felt intense pain as if something strange was invading his body, something foreign and he began to wail.
"forgive me son." Minato gasped out as if in great pain. Then there was a bright light.

In the real world…
"father you fool." Naruto said while still unconscious, surprising the others. "you can say you're sorry all you want but at the end of the day , you choose the village over me, your own son. Treat me like a hero? Please, don't make me laugh. Even you doubted them , I could see it in your eyes. I hope you rot in the shinigami's gut you asshole."
Itachi and the others heard his words and shivered at the amount of venom in them. They were all grateful it wasn't directed at them.

Within Narutos mind…
He was now five years old and used to being alone. The orphanage had kicked him out at three , not that they ever really cared for him anyway. That didn't mean he didn't suffer from the pain of loneliness it just meant that he was learning to live with it along with all the pain and sorrow that came with being him.
Just last night someone had tried to kill him again by suffocation. If it weren't for his instincts and Kyuubis warning, he would have died. At the moment however, he was hungry and was happily making his way to Ichirakus for a bowl of ramen with the money the Hokage had given him. He pretended as if he didn't notice the harsh stares of the villagers since he knew that no one would come help him if they decided to attack him anyway. It was just the way it was for him .
Halfway their a piece of would flew throw the air and hit him on the back of the head because his body hadn't been able to dodge it quick enough. The last thing he heard before he slid into unconsciousness was. "you should just die you filthy demon." it was the cold hard voice of a young woman.
When he regained consciousness he was in the hospital. From his bed he could hear the Hokage outside his bedroom door arguing with a few of the councilmen.
"the villagers tried to kill him again." Sarutobi had said angrily. "they will be punished."
"but surely you're overreacting lord Hokage." said the voice that he recognized as Hiashi Hyuga . "I'm sure it was all an accident."
"you're wrong and you know it." said Inoichi. "he is an innocent child and a hero."
"he is a demon." hissed Danzo. "we should either kill him so that he doesn't kill us all in the future or make him into the perfect weapon."
"you will not harm Minatos son." Sarutobi growled angrily. " by keeping the kyuubi inside him , he saved us all . You should all remember that."
Naruto didn't here anything else since Sarutobi had just walked into the room with the others. It was in that moment that Naruto created his mask. His very young and intelligent mind immediately grasped the concept that these councilmen were his enemies and that if he showed sadness, they would be happy. He would not give these bastards the satisfaction and deep in his mind he heard the kyuubi agree with him. They all came to stand around the bed and were all staring at him. Everyone except Inoichi and Sarutobi was glaring at him with cold eyes.
"and how are you feeling Naruto?" Sarutobi asked with a kind smile.
"umm, I'm okay except for my head, it hurts." he said acting confused. "what happened ojisan?"
"nothing that you need to worry about Naruto." said Inoichi. "it will all be okay now."
Naruto just grinned foolishly. "okay."
"well I think we're done here." said Hiashi coldly. "it is obviously doing fine." he said and everyone could tell that he was referring to Naruto and not the situation.
Naruto pretended not to understand. "um…thanks for coming to visit me um…," he said as if he didn't remember his name.
But hiashi didn't tell him, he just turned and walked out as if Naruto hadn't spoken. Danzo followed closely behind him.
"say ojisan can I please have some ramen now?" he asked as if nothing had happened. "I was on my way but I guess I fell or something."
"yes Naruto , I will go and get you some son." sarutobi said. "inoichi are you coming?"
Inoichi shook his head. "no I think I'll stay and talk to Naruto until you return.' he replied.
Sarutobi nodded and left . Inoichi then turned to look at the blonde boy. "so do you have any friends that you play with?" he asked trying to make conversation.
Naruto frowned as if he didn't understand. 'um.. What are friends ojisan?" he asked. "just you Kyu-tousan." he sent silently to the fox.
Inoichi frowned, saddened by the fact that the boy didn't even know what a friend was. "a friend is someone you play with , talk to, go to the park with and share your secrets with." he explained.
" oh ." said naruto as if he was only beginning to understand. "um… then yeah. Sarutobi-ojisan is my friend. He takes me to Ichirakus for ramen and talks to me since no one else will." then he frowned convincingly. "say ojisan, why are you talking to me? You shouldn't do that because the people will hate you too."
Inoichi frowned even more. "well I don't hate you Naruto." he said then. "do you even know why they seem to hate you?"
"no ojisan." Naruto lied convincingly. " why ojisan, why only me? What did I do to make them hate me? Why do they all try to hurt me? Is that why my parents abandoned me? Am I really a monster like they all say? A demon?" he asked pityingly. Some of it directly from the heart.
Inoichi shook his head sadly. "no Naruto, you're none of those things and the people hate you because they are blind fools."
Naruto nodded with a tear-filled smile and was about to speak when the Hokage returned .
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
In the real world…
"Hiashi Hyuga , Danzo you assholes will pay." he growled out.
Hanabi and Hinata paled at the hate and anger in his voice. Would Naruto hate them too? The two of them were frightened and worried about what he would be like when he finally woke up.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Within Narutos mind…
He was now six years old and had already been through a lot. He had suffered through numerous beatings, assassination attempts , angry mobs, a rape among other things. He was currently sitting in a hospital bed yet again all covered in bruises. Just a few minutes ago a nurse had tried to poison him with a lethal dose of some strange chemical compound in a needle. She had also told him that his parents had left him for dead as well and had been caught by the wolf anbu just in time. Ironically it would have been pointless anyway since the Kyuubi had made him immune to all poisons due to all the attempts on his life. The hokage had made them remove her from the room and he knew that she would probably be executed as soon as she was out of his sight.
Today was his birthday but as usual he wasn't allowed to celebrate it with the other villagers. The old man came in and sat down in the chair near him.
"how are you feeling Naruto?' he asked gently.
Naruto sat there for a while but didn't answer until he finally decided to face the old man. "ojisan, who are my parents?" he asked bluntly, shocking the old man.
Sarutobi took a puff of his pipe the way he often did when he was thinking before saying. "I don't know Naruto. I was never told." he lied while looking the boy directly in the eye.
Deep inside him, Naruto felt a part of him die as the only person he had ever truly trusted blatantly lied to him.
Making sure to not show his inner turmoil, he pasted his perfected fake smile back on his face. "okay ojisan. Can you get me ramen?" he asked as if nothing had happened.
The old man nodded and hurried out the door to go get it as if the hounds of hell were chasing him. It was obvious that he was trying to get away from naruto and the lie he had just told.
A single tear had fallen from Narutos jaded blue eyes as he watched him go, from his fragile trust being broken. Sarutobi had crossed a line that he would never be able to come back from.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
In the real world…
"sarutobi you lying bastard." Naruto snarled. " I asked you one simple question, the one that only you could have answered and you lied to me. You told me that you didn't know who my parents were and you did it while looking me in the eye. You betrayed my trust and broke my heart. You're no different from the rest of them you hyprocrite."
Konohamaru couldn't believe what he had just heard. His grandfather had been that cruel? He didn't say anything as he, like the hyuga sisters had a lot to think about.
Meanwhile itachi and kisame were afraid. They were both worried about what Naruto would say when he remembered about them. Itachi more than Kisame as he thought about the memories he had sealed and the lies he had told him that day in the hotspring to protect him.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Inside Narutos mind…
He was once again in the hospital but was about to be released. He stood with the Hokage and a group of Anbu as the old man signed his release form. He sighed as the hokage continued to sign yet more paperwork, bored out of his mind. Sarutobi , upon hearing the sigh turned to look at the little boy.
"Naruto would you like to go get some ramen with the Anbu I assigned to you since I know you're probably feeling bored by now?" he asked.
Naruto nodded eagerly as he shot a quick glance at the wolf Anbu who was his favorite. Sarutobi upon seeing the hopeful look , gave him who he wanted and Naruto thanked him before leaving with the Anbu.
They went to Ichirakus and bought their ramen to go before returning to Narutos apartment. As soon as they got their the wolf anbu put up a no spy no sound barrier and then added a complex genjutsu that would allow no one to see what was actually going on. While he and Naruto would be able to see outside clearly , the people on the outside would only see a happy blonde eating ramen or playing by himself.
Naruto went into the kitchen and got out two bowls and chopsticks for the two of them. Then the wolf Anbu walked into the kitchen and took off his mask. Naruto turned and gave the wolf Anbu known better as Itachi Uchiha a genuine smile, also removing the idiotic mask he wore around everyone else.
"thanks for watching over me again Itachi-kun."he said happily. "you're the only one that understands."
Itachi smiled back . "no need to thank me every time Naru-chan, I do it because I want to."
Naruto grinned before directing the other male to sit , doing the same. Itachi sat down and they began to eat in silence for a while. Naruto would occasionally catch Itachi staring at him with an undefined expression in his eyes. It was as if he was looking directly into Narutos soul, devouring him with his eyes. Naruto would flush innocently every time he caught him and Itachi would look away , embarrassed at being caught staring. When they had finally finished eating Itachi pulled out two packets of pocky and handed him one. Narutos eyes widened in delight at what was rapidly becoming his second favorite snack.
"wolfie-chan will you lay next to me as I fall asleep?" he asked after they had finished cleaning up the remains of their meal.
Itachi nodded. "naru-chan you know that you don't have to call me that when we are alone like this." he said softly.
Naruto nodded. "I know , sorry Tachi-chan." he said flushing, becoming a bit fearful. "you're not angry with me are you?"
Itachi shook his head. "no naru-chan I'm not mad at you at all. You're my own little kitsune and I care about you." he said gently, reassuring the boy .
Naruto flushed an even deeper color and the two walked into his small bedroom together. Naruto helped Itachi remove the Anbu gear then the two of them laid on the small bed next to each other.
"tachi-chan?" he called out in the darkness.
"hn?" itachi replied.
"you havent told anyone about us or our time together have you?" he asked.
"no." itachi replied. "no one knows except maybe the hokage. He probably suspects something because of that crystal ball of his."
"good." naruto said. "I don't want anyone to hate you too. don't tell shisui either, there is something about it that makes me dislike him. Maybe it's the fox in me but I hate the fact that he smells like snake all the time and has the stench of a traitor."
Itachi stiffened when he heard that. Due to how dangerous Narutos life was , that along with the fox's senses had given him unmatched instincts for sensing danger. Those instincts and intelligence had helped him before so he knew better than to disregard his warning.
To make things worse shisui had been acting strange lately as well.
"what do you mean he smells like snake Naru-chan?' he asked carefully.
"he smells just like anko-chan, only the smell is much stronger on him, much more recent. I find it odd since he doesn't hold the snake contract nor is he dating Anko-chan." naruto said thoughtfully.
"I see." said itachi. "in that case I'll make sure not to tell him. Now don't worry about it anymore okay my little kitsune?"
"uh huh." replied Naruto as he moved closer to Itachi until they touched completely from their chests down.
He wrapped his arms around itachi and the brunnette reciprocated and pulled him closer. They laid together that way for a while until Naruto felt something hot and hard against his leg. He reached down and touched it with the intention of shifting it since it was poking him. He froze when Itachi gasped and then moaned above him.
"what's wrong Tachi-chan?' he asked worriedly.
"I'm fine Naru-chan." itachi grunted out as he gently pried the boys hands off his throbbing arousal. "you just happened to touch me at my special place that's all."
Oh I see." Naruto replied after being filled in by kyuubi in the back of his mind. "the delicious scent I've been smelling from you lately is the scent of your attraction for me. You want to make me your mate." he said intelligently and Itachi inwardly cursed at the fact that he was in such an awkward position and that the boy was so smart.
Itachi laid there silently , unsure of what to say now.
Fortunately naruto saved him from speaking by continuing . "tachi-chan since I care for you too, will you officially make me your mate when I get older?" he asked.
Itachi sighed in relief and pleasure when he heard that . "is that what you truly want?" he asked hopefully, silently happy that Naruto wasn't angry with him.
"yes Itachi uchiha, I do ." Naruto replied. "you're the only one that I can be myself with and I do love you too. Kyu-tousan also told me to tell you that by the time you're ready to claim me , me giving you heirs wont be a problem anymore. So will you?"
Itachi nodded eagerly. "yes. When you're older I will officially marry and give you the mating mark."
In the dark Naruto smiled. "kyu-tousan said we should seal the promise with a kiss since we cant mate with each other right now." he told the brunette.
Itachi immediately complied much to the blonde's delight. It was after wall what he had been wanting to do for sometime now. For the next few minutes they continued to make out until Naruto moved his hand back down to touch Itachis erection again. His curiosity had gotten the best of him.
"don't." itachi pleaded. 'I'll lose control and take you right now if you keep touching me there."
"um…okay." Naruto replied and reluctantly released it. "I love you my wolfie-chan."he said as he finally began to drift off into sleep.
"I love you too my Naru-chan." itachi said kissing him on the forehead.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
In the real world….
"I love you my wolfie-chan ." Naruto said and Itachi's eyes widened and he gasped.
He blinked in order to keep his sharingan in check as his mind returned to those precious days together.
"I wonder who's wolfie-chan?" said Hanabi curiously.
"it was… it was me."itachi replied. "I was the wolf anbu captain years ago that used to watch over Naruto personally. That was when I first…" he broke off and looked away embarrassed , but he didn't need to finish.
They all knew what he had been about to say. That was when he had first fallen in love with the blonde boy. Hinata understood more than anyone else.After all she too had fallen in love with the blonde under similar circumstances.
Kisame placed a comforting hand on the back of the brooding Uchiha who was currently too lost in his memories to even glance at him.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Meanwhile in Narutos mind…
A few later days Itachi appeared in narutos and hurried over to the smiling blonde.
"congratulations Itachi-koi." Naruto said proudly. " I knew that you'd make it."
Itachi smiled back and nodded then began to undress with Narutos help since he was currently still bloody from an emergency mission that the Hokage had sent him on right after his promotion. since he often visited naruto in this state the blonde didn't blink an eye at it and even had a special compartment in his apartment covered by a powerful genjutsu with Itachis things there.
"how did you know I would be promoted?" he asked.
Naruto gave him an indulgent grin. " because you're my mate . I believe in you Tachi-chan." he said pleased. "now hurry up and go shower so that I can give you your gift and eat dinner."
Itachi smiled and nodded before hurrying into the bathroom to shower. Fifteen minutes later he came out dressed in a simple black t-shirt and boxers and walked into the kitchen where Naruto had already laid out the food.
it was rabbit stew and he knew he was in for a treat. Perhaps it was due to the kyuubis influence but Naruto loved rabbits and went out of his way to find new ways to cook it . They ate in silence since they were both eager to get on with it and get to the gifts. Itachi, because he wanted to see what Naruto had gotten him. He hadn't been expecting any since he knew how hard things were for Naruto due to the council but he couldn't deny that he was excited either. Naruto, because he was nervous and really wanted itachi to like his gift. The only person he had ever given a gift to before was the sandaime so he was a bit nervous.
As soon as they were both done eating Itachi turned to Naruto. "so what is it Naru-chan?" he asked not even bothering to hide his eagerness.
Naruto grinned and dragged him into the bedroom and made him sit down on the bed before running over to a hidden door in the wall to pull out a box of pocky and running over to him.
Itachis eyes widened in delight as he mentally calculated just how many boxes of pocky was in the box he was holding. Since it was a distributors box he knew that there were more than twenty packets of the delightful snack in their.
"congratulations Tachi-chan I'm so proud of you. Don't worry I had ojisan buy it for me so that I wasn't hassled by the store owners and yes I still have money left so don't worry about that. In fact I saved up to buy this just for you so that it would be even more special. So do you like it?" he asked.
Itachi nodded with a genuine smile. "yes I do thank you Naru-chan."
Naruto kissed his cheek then grinned. "now let me give you my real gifts." he said running back over to the secret compartment and surprising the brunette.
Itachi took the second box and opened it carefully. He was surprised to find a a beautiful dagger stained an unreflecting black in its case inside. He pulled it out and found that the dagger had a jagged ede on one side and that they design of a wolf was engraved into the blade itself. The hilt of the dagger was a bit strange and actually looked like the hilt of an old samurai sword than a normal dagger. The handle was also heavily wrapped in a long bandage as well further surprising him.
He looked at Naruto inquiringly and naruto grinned. "pull out the blade completely Tachi-chan and then I want you to cut your thumb and drop a bit of your blood on the blade."
Itachi obeyed and was surprised when the blade turned a deep blue before becoming white like lightening.
"now I want you to add just a tiny bit of your chakra to it and make sure you keep it pointed away from me and you." Naruto instructed.
Itachi obeyed once again and was surprised when the blade extended and form a glowing blue blade made completely out of lightening chakra.
"this blade is a gift from both Kyuubi and I Tachi-chan. It is similar to kakashi chakra fang but is a bit more powerful . In fact you could call this sword its father. It was made by the wolf bijuu and given to kyu-tousan as a gift and we want you to have it as a symbol of our trust and my love for you. It is kyu-tousans way of giving his blessing to our relationship.It will now only respond to you and your offspring after you have passed on. If you pump chakra into it this is what will happen and only takes a tiny bit of chakra to activate it. You can also store chakra in it in case of emergency and will only need blood in those instances to activate it. The wolf on the blade will glow red when it is at its capacity in storing chakra and the bandage on the handle can be infused with chakra and used to strangle or cut throw and enemy much like a blade would as well if necessary. It the cap of the handle is a salve mixed with my blood and my healing chakra for emergencies. Only use it on fatal wounds since it will heal almost anything. This dagger is also a key of sorts and will open a door to help you escape from your enemies if necessary. This is your trump card if you become too tired to use your sharing an and your in a tight spot. So do you like your gift?" the blonde asked the shocked brunnette.
itachi nodded, in awe at the priceless blade that his young lover had given him. He felt something suspiciously like tears well up in his eyes then. sasuke had given him a hug and had complained about him never training him his father had given him a pat on the back and a lecture about how proud he was as well as set of kunais with the uchiha fans on them. Itachi had thought that was really stupid since he wouldn't be able to use them due to the inscription but he had accepted them anyway. His mother had baked him a cake but none of them compared to Narutos well thought out gifts.
"yes Naru-chan I love it almost as much as I love you." he said seriously . "thank you very much.
Naruto smiled . "good. Now tousan is gonna take over for a bit to teach you how to use the blade properly okay?" he said and Itachi nodded .
Two hours later an exhausted itachi was lying on the bed . Kyuubi was a slavedriver and hadnt stopped until he had managed to open the small portal successfully. mastering the dagger had been easy because it was just like any other dagger and not completely sentient other than recognition. He was also used to using a katana since he was an anbu so he had nothing much to worry about in learning how to use it.
The kyuubi had finally retreated back into narutos mind and the blonde was now admiring his brunette as he laid their tired. He smiled and climbed in next to him.
"tachi we'll always be together right?" the blonde said softly.
"yes Naru-chan we will, it's a promise." the brunette replied.
Naruto smiled and snuggled in closer.
" a weasel in the form of a wolf guards the kitsune with a jaded soul. The kitsune loves the weasel and the wolf he is inside.a weasel and a kitsune , a very unlikely pair. But still it works because the weasel is the only one that the kitsune holds dear." he said with a smile before falling a sleep.

In the real world…
" a weasel in the form of a wolf guards the kitsune with a jaded soul. The kitsune loves the weasel and the wolf he is inside.a weasel and a kitsune , a very unlikely pair. But still it works because the weasel is the only one that the kitsune holds dear." they all heard the blonde say softly.
They all just listened quietly since they knew that he was talking about himself and itachi. Itachi smiled as he looked down on the dagger that Naruto had given him so long ago. It had saved his life more times than he could count and he would always be grateful for it.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
In Narutos mindscape…
He had just gone through a series of beatings and the memory of itachi coming to him covered in shisuis blood with the mangekyo. He had also suffered a particularly vicious beating from the uchiha clan recently and was still healing from it. It had been while Itachi was away on a mission but he didn't blame the brunette. At the moment however, he was waiting for Itachi to come over.
Itachi teleported into Narutos apartment covered in blood. Naruto immediately began pulling out clean clothes for him as had become his habit these days. It was a normal accurance for them and Naruto wasn't fazed by the sight of blood on his lover. Itachi quickly stripped and naruto picked up the bloody clothes as he dropped them and placed them in a trashbag since they were so torn and bloody. He could sense that somethinbg was terribly wrong but he decided to wait until Itachi was ready to tell him to tell him to find out.
"naruto get my mission bag and pack all my stuff in it quickly!" itachi ordered frantically. "I'll explain everything later."
This made Naruto realize that it was much worse than he had thought. A sinking feeling appeared in his stomach , but he forced it back and did as ordered. While Itachi bathed , he cleaned up the apartment of all the blood as usual. While he cleaned he thought of the fact that Itachi had only ordered clothes to be packed for himself with no mention of him.
Then Itachi came out of the bathroom and began to get dressed.
"tachi chan what happened? Where are you going?" he asked worriedly , frightened when he noticed that the brunnette was trembling.
"I'm leaving tonight naruto." he said seriously and naruto felt as if his heart had just stopped.
"what ? Why?" he asked .
Finally dressed itachi turned to him. " I killed them all naruto, I had no other choice." he confessed with tears running down his face.
"killed who?' naruto asked carefully, knowing it was a very important conversation they were having that would change their lives forever.
"my entire clan except for my brother." itachi confessed and naruto gasped out in shock. "I couldn't let them kill you or the Hokage and he said it was the only way."
"kill me?" Naruto asked. " what would they…oh." he broke off as he realized that it was because of the kyuubi.
"it was the only way." itachi said sobbing.
Naruto walked up to him and held him in order to comfort him. Everything was finally falling into place. The fact that he had had to kill shisui and his argument with his family earlier. It broke his heart but he understood what Itachi would have to do now in order to survive.
"its alright Tachi-kun, you only did what you had to do and I love you regardless of it." he said gently. "Are we going to leave now?" he asked and immediatelyu regreeted it when itachi stiffened, silently giving him his answer.
Itachi pulled away and looked at him with tear-filled eyes and narutos heart sunk at the broken look inside them. Deep in his heart and mind, he knew what he had to do to give his lover peace of mind. Itachi opened his mouth to speak but Naruto place a silencing finger on them. It was in that moment that he grew up even more than he had already done.
"its alright Tachi-kun I know that you cant take me." he said gently and Itachi sobbed harder. "I love you either way and I'm strong so I'll be fine. Please don't cry anymore my love. You will have to be strong too so that no one will ever be able to hurt you while we're apart. Someday we'll find each other again and we'll be together." he told him with a sad smile.
Itachi opened his mouth to speak again but Naruto silenced him with a kiss. Itachi devoured his lips ravenously before pulling away.
"naru-chan I." he began but Naruto just smiled and shook his head.
"no tachi-koi don't apologize its okay. This is just the way it has to be for now my love." he said softly , desperately trying to fight back his own tears.
"I love you Naru-chan." itachi said sadly, I love you more than anyone else."
Naruto nodded. " I know Tachi-chan and I feel that way abut you too." he said then a thought occurred to him.
"tachi -chan before you leave I want you to mate with me. " he said surprising the brunnette. "even if you cant mark me yet I still want to feel you even if only once."
Itachi wanted to protest but he desperately wanted to touch him as well. All indecision fled as the blonde quickly undressed and stood naked before him. The blonde walked over to the bed and laid on it before him.
"come and take me Itachi uchiha." he said boldly as he stared up at him.
Itachi whimpered. He knew that he didn't have much time but still, he would do this for the one he loved before finally leaving . As he walked over to the bed, he grabbed the bottle of lotion nearby and settled between his lovers thighs. Leaning down he captured his lips as he lubed three of his fingers with the lotion and slid one in. the blonde whimpered a bit at the sudden intrusion but then relaxed as he got used to the feeling. Itachi was regretful of the fact that he would have to do it quickly, quicker than he had originaly planned for their first time to be. He broke the kiss and moved down to the blondes neck , giving him a large hickie as he added another finger and continued to stretch the blondes portal. Moving down a bit further, he pulled in one of the blondes pink nipples inside his mouth and began to suck on it , stopping occasionally to lave it over and over with his tongue.
Naruto moaned and arched his back in pleasure. "itachi…take me now please… I want to feel you now." he said hurrying him since he knew that they didn't have much time.
Itachi nodded and removed his fingers from the boys portal to replace it with the head of his cock. "its gonna hurt a bit my love." he said regretfully.
Naruto gave him a gentle smile. "I'm used to pain Tachi-chan. Now claim me." he ordered.
Itachi grunted as he began to slide into the boy, stopping ever so often to give the boy time to adjust. Naruto growled and decided to take matters into his own hands. He pushed himself down firmly unto his lovers rod. Pain shot through his body and he gritted his teeth until it receded and his body adjusted. Nodding to itachi , the blonde lifted his hips a bit as Itachi began to move in and out of him. He could already feel himself healing from whatever damage he had done to himself in his haste and he silently thanked kyuubi for that.
Soon itachis thrusts began to get harder and faster as he lost himself to the feeling of being inside the one he loved and naruto moaned in painful pleasure. He moaned out loud calling his lovers name as his prostate was hit over and over again. Itachi reached down and began stroking his erection, smiling when the boy errupted in his hand. Feeling the boys already tight inner walls tightening even more, he lost complete control and fucked him hard before flooding him with his essence and screaming his name.
Slowly pulling out of the exhausted blonde, he kissed his cheek before cleaning himself up and fixing his clothes. Almost completely healed from it Naruto sat up and smiled at him .
"thank you my love." he said gently.
Itachi nodded sadly and hurried to get him a rag from the bathroom so that he could clean himself up. As soon as Itachi left the room, Naruto put all his savings into a pocket of the bag for his lover since he knew how hard things would be for him. He would rather starve for a while than allow his lover to do so.
He was once again lying on the bed when Itachi came back with the rag.
Handing it to him Itachi said. "naru-chan until we meet again I want you to let kyuubi-sama seal your memories of me ." he said seriously and the blonde gasped.
Naruto began to protest but the look on his face stopped him.
"it's the only way I can protect you now my love. I don't want you being arrested for aiding an abbeting a criminal. The council will use any excuse they can find to kill you." itachi said insistently.
Naruto nodded sadly. "I'll agree if you lend me one of your ravens for the night to keep me company.' he told him, a plan forming in his head.
Itachi immediately agreed glad to be getting off so easily. Summoning a small raven, he told it to stay with naruto for the night and to obey his orders.
"which direction are you going tachi?" he asked the brunette.
"to the north.' Itachi responded.
Naruto nodded. "okay but remember to stay close to the rivers so you can hide your scent if need be and remember the dagger okay?" he reminded him.
Itachi nodded again and Naruto laid on the bed after cleaning himself up and getting dressed. Itachi walked over to him and then kissed him
"I love you my wolfie chan, be safe." the blonde said sadly.
"I love you too my little kitsune. Be safe." itachi replied before vanishing , a single tear falling on the ground where he had just stood.
Naruto bit his lip to keep from crying out as he watched him go. "I'll help you one last time my love. it's the only way I can make sure that I will see you again." he said sadly before sitting up and putting on his shoes.
"kyu-tousan, the hunter-nins are probably in front of him by now right?" he said softly.
"yes kit they are." agreed kyuubi. "but we can still plant falls trails since they will still be looking for him. I'm all done healing you now too."
"thanks tousan." the blonde said, then he turned to the raven as he pulled out Itachis bloody shirt. "raven-san can you please take this and go towards the west? When you do please fly low enough so that it drags on the ground and leave a scent for the nin-dogs to follow."
The raven nodded and then it left. Then naruto summoned three kitsunes. "hey guys I need your help for a bit. Will you take these clothes and go in the direction of the south and east?" he asked two of them.
They nodded and then took the clothes and left.
Looking at the third one he said. "you will come with me kit, we have a whole village to piss off without them knowing it."
The kitsune nodded and the two of them left. Five hours and some pissed off hunter-nins, jounins, anbus and clan heads later, naruto returned to his empty apartment. The amount of damage he did in those five hours included teargas in the hyuga compound,insecticides in the aburames, stink bombs in the inazukas and various other acts of destruction on the headquarters of the anbu and hunter-nins. The best part was that Naruto had done it so well that he would never be suspected of any of it.
He quickly took a shower and then slumped down on his bed before picking up itachis pillow. Then the dam inside him broke and he began to sob.
"give me two days kyu-tousan." he said sadly. " two days before you make me forget him. Two more days before I embrace my mask completely."
"that's fine kit." said the kyuubi sadly. "even if your memories of him will be gone, the love that you felt for him will always remain kit deep in your heart."
Naruto sniffled. "thanks tousan, id be lost without you." he said gratefully. "I'll always love you and only you Itachi uchiha. My love ,my mate." he said sadly before drifting off to sleep.
There was a silent echo in the back of his mind of who 'he' was, the one that itachi had spoken of but he was too far gone in slumber to ponder on it further.
Unknown to Naruto at the time, sarutobi had been trying to find him in his crystal ball for the last few minutes, but had been unable to due to the interference of the kyuubi. The veil had finally lifted for the old man to hear narutos final words before he fell asleep. The old man instinctively knew that this was the kitsunes way of letting know that Naruto would need some time alone to pull himself together.
"thank you for trying to protect this village and my life Itachi." the old man said sadly. "forgive me for the pain I've caused you both by my indecisions and cowardice."
He had gotten a note from Itachi on why he had killed them before the brunnette had left so he understood. That would be one of his deepest regrets for years to come as every time he saw naruto and saw the pain that he couldn't hide in his deep blue eyes even with his masks. And yes, he had realized that naruto wore a mask in front of him , he also knew why and could not blame the young boy for never really trusting him again. He would regret it even as he died at the hands of orochimaru.

In the real world….
And on and on it went for the blonde as the others listened and learned things about konoha that some of them had never imagined. It was horrifying to see through the blondes eyes what the village was truly like. For konohamaru and the hyuuga sisters, they were all amazed by Narutos self control. They all agreed that if it had been them Konoha would have been destroyed a long time ago.
