Naruto looked at Sasuke in complete shock. The raven wished Naruto would say something other than stare. "God…your own brother…did that to you?" Sasuke nodded. "I couldn't believe it either. The second time was even worse…" Sasuke winced when he realized what he had blurted out. "He did it more than once!?" the blonde screamed angrily. Sasuke grabbed the blonde's hands to stop him from ranting. "Calm down. It was only twice." He told him. Naruto sat back on the bed with a loud thump. "No wonder you wanted to kill him so badly." Naruto murmured. "You should have told someone." He told the raven. Sasuke sighed.

"How the hell are you supposed to drop that into conversation?" Sasuke grumbled.

"Kakashi would have understood! You could have told me sooner!" Naruto said, slightly put out that Sasuke didn't tell him before. "Do you…want to talk about it?" the blonde suggested. He didn't really know how to deal with the situation. He had no idea what to say to Sasuke. "Why, you want details or something?" Sasuke snapped.

"You know I didn't mean it like that Sasuke!" Naruto replied quickly. "Why didn't you tell the hokage? You could have been kept safe if he came into Konoha. What, did he sneak in or something?" Sasuke shook his head.

"The first time was…was when he killed my parents. Just before he left he decided he better make sure I 'hated him enough'. I have to say…" Sasuke ground his teeth together angrily. "He did a perfect job at making me loathe him." the raven clenched his fists at the memory. "Its as if as killing my family wasn't enough!" he snarled.

"A-and the second time?" the blonde prompted.

"When I was with Orochimaru." He said quietly. Naruto looked at Sasuke sadly. All this time he had no idea just how horrible a time he was having, and all the time he hated the raven for leaving Konoha. "Well…if we tell the hokage, she can-"

"Don't you dare tell anyone else. No one must know." Naruto thought it would be better for Sasuke to at least tell someone else, but he agreed anyway. "Okay." Sasuke relaxed and pulled the covers over them both. "Dobe? Hypothetically speaking of course, if Itachi did have a baby with you, would that child have the power of the Kyuubi?" he asked. Naruto thought for a moment. "I honestly have no idea. Itachi seems to think it would." He replied. He stretched out yawning, before curling up again near the raven. "It doesn't matter anyway." He added.

The hokage broke her desk yet again when Naruto and Sasuke informed her that Itachi and Kisame had been in Konoha. Shizune sighed and informed Sakura they would need another desk. They gathered up the papers that had scattered everywhere, Sakura wondering why Tsunade had got into a rage. The hokage told Sakura and shizune to go outside while she talked to Naruto and Sasuke. "What did they want?" she asked urgently. Sasuke looked at Naruto, wondering how the blonde would phrase their situation. "Basically, Itachi found out I was pregnant and he decided he wants to have a baby with me so the kid will inherit the kyuubi's power or something." He said. "That's…interesting." She said. She then wondered why Itachi didn't just take Naruto by force; the older Uchiha was very cautionate and clever in his plans and to leave Naruto and Sasuke able to come for help didn't seem like something he would do. "If he wanted you, Naruto, why did he leave empty-handed?" she asked them.

"He's coming back in two days." Sasuke informed the hokage. Naruto then answered the hokage's question. "He said that if we involved anyone else he would kill both me and Sasuke, and," he said, nodding in agreement to what Sasuke said. "He would be back in two day to get me." The hokage was glad they decided to tell her, rather than keep it to themselves. "You made a good decision. We can easily arrange for protection to stay with you until Itachi returns, where he will be dealt with. Is there anywhere else you can stay, other than the Uchiha compound? It would be a better outcome if he can't find you anyway." They both thought for a moment.

"We can stay at my apartment." The blonde stated. Tsunade arranged for a specially designed group to stay with Naruto and Sasuke. They were assured they would be completely safe at all times for whenever Itachi decided to strike.

Naruto laughed nervously and looked at Sasuke face for the raven's reaction. The blonde did know that his apartment was in a bit of a mess when he left it, but the mess seemed to have multiplied over the time he had been away. "Were suppose to live here?" Sasuke grumbled. Naruto bounded into his kitchen.

"Its not so bad!" he assured the raven. "Just needs a little bit of cleaning." He added. Sasuke looked even more sceptical as he walked into the kitchen. He eyed a pile of empty ramen cups that were stacked on the table. "I don't want to know how long they've been there." Naruto began putting them in the bin quickly.

"Me neither." He admitted. Sasuke decided he would help the blonde; he would be staying here too after all. Naruto smiled at Sasuke. "Thanks teme!" he said. The anbu arrived a little later, and they were stationed outside the house. Sasuke was glad he could keep busy and not think about that fact that Itachi would be coming soon.
