Yo. I know it's been a long time! Please don't kill me!! I'll stop with all the chit-chat and get right to the story!

---------------------------

"We are here….. Naruto."

Naruto looked back and nodded once again.

"Yes… Yes we are…"

--------

The fox that was to be sleeping made a low growl in the back of it's throat. Almost inelegantly Naruto disappeared in a puff of smoke. Fallowed by the other two.

The all looked down to see two figures moving through the crowd.

"Kisame, Itachi, lets go."

Before Naruto turned around Itachi caught the slightest look of sadness. Witch made the older man worry. If Naruto was to pull out now then everything would fall. If he didn't reach his goal then they would not reach theirs. And leader-sama would mostlikly through a fit if that happened.

Naruto looked down upon Hinata and Kiba once more before leaving.

--------

5 miles from the gates.

"This is the second time that you have sent me here!"

"Sasuke-kun," Orochimaru was starting to talk but Sasuke cut him off.

"Shut up! I need to be training! Not going to that damned village!"

"You know the reason we are coming here."

Sasuke huffed and walked away.

--------

"Naruto the shower is all yours."

"Thanks Itachi."

Naruto started to get up off the bed they were sharing but before he could move Itachi was pining him down.

"You've been acting weird since we got here. You even use my full name 2 times. What's wrong?"

Itachi hated being worried but when it came to Naruto he couldn't help it.

"I don't know what your… talking… abo…. Why can't I lie to you?"

"Answer me!" He didn't mean to sound so angry but Naruto wasn't answering him. Instead asking him a question.

"I don't want……" The rest was but a mumble.

"Speak louder."

"I don't want them to see me."

Itachi lowered his head so that there foreheads were touching. He softly kissed the side of Naruto's mouth. Moving to his chin, then his neck. Sucking and biting lightly, all the while getting little moans from the blonde under him.

Whispering into his ear, the one thing he didn't want to hear. "There going to soon."

Getting up he left the room leaving a blushing and mad blonde on the bed. The fox from before decided to appear right at that moment and jumped on his belly.

"Kit what are you doing?"

"Kit? Look who talking! Stupid fox!"

"My name is Hiroto-sama! Not stupid fox!"

"Ya, Ya! What ever Hiro-chan!"

"Don't add 'chan' or shorten my name!! You…." Naruto started to scratch behind the black ears of the small fox. Purring could now be heard coming from him.

Naruto suddenly sat up making Hiroto fall to the bed.

"I'm taking a shower, NO! I'll go enjoy the hot springs! Ya, you want to come Hiro-chan?"

"No. I'm taking a nap. Loud humen."

"Kay, when Ita-chan comes back in don't tell him were I am, I want him to worry for being an ass!"

"What did he do this time?" Naruto turned a bright red and was about to speck when Hiroto interrupted him.

"For the sake of both you and me, don't share."

"Ya… Well, see ya later."

"Hmm.."

--------

Kiba walked into the hot springs with a towel tied around his waist tightly. He washed quickly and slipped into the water slowly.

Flashback!

He just got back from a mission the Hokage assigned to him personally. She was normal when he left. But in the middle of his mission he got a message to come back. When he did Hinata was waiting for him at the entrance. She had red eyes and some unshed tears were still in her eyes.

Put on alarm he puffed next to her, there she broke down but wouldn't tell him why. Just silently cried into his chest. He asked her out a few days after Naruto left for the second time. That was the only other time she cried silently. It meant she was holding back something big. But this time the silent cry lasted for just a second. Soon she was full out screaming and crying. The only thing he heard was 'Naruto' but that was all it took for him to understand. She still wasn't over him.

---

When he got to the tower he walk strait into the room.

"Hokage-sama. Why did you call me…" When he looked at the women all of the village looked up to he didn't see a proud but drunk women. He saw a broken women. She was even sober! Before he could ask anything else, a shaky voice called out to him.

"W-we are t-t-to cancel all m-missio-ns relating to finding N-Nar-r…." She took a big greedy breath of air as if she would never again. "Naruto." By the end she had streams of tears falling down her checks. She turned around in her chair so she was facing out the window but hics and sobs were still heard.

Kiba toke the silent command and left. Walking out he grabbed a still red eyed Hinata and led her to the hot springs. True he was broken inside, but these who knew him better must be 10 times worse than him. Those who saved him and now could not.

"W-were a-are we go-oing K-Kiba-kun?"

"To the hot springs. We need to relax!"

Hinata tightened her grip on his hand and he did the same to her small one.

Flash back done!

Sensing another in there he looked around and spotted a sun kissed blonde haired man to the right, humming a quite song to him-self. His body was tan and could make any strait guy change his mind.

Looking closer he saw blue as day eyes that looked cold as ice that seemed to burn with a fire not even the Kyuubi could compare. When the man looked over at him, his eyes bighted for a second before darkening.

"Hello, Kiba." Realization dawned on him and the only thing going trough his head was the name of the one hated but loved the most in the village. 'Naruto!'

So, what you think? To short? I know, I know. I'm sick at the moment to this is the only reason I updated! Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!!! I'll try to make the next longer! But no promises!

But I will update sooner! I just didn't know who he would see first.

Next: You find how Itachi, Kisame, and Naruto got to where they were now, what it was Naruto wanted when he first joined up with the two, why he isn't dead and what Orochimaru wants with him? What? And what does that have to do with Itachi, Sasuke, and the death of there clan?

Well, there, what you think? Alot to put in one chap so you only get bits of it. Then I'll work it all out later in the story! Teeheehee!
