Naruto, Sasuke, Itachi, and Gaara had moved from land to land training non stop with the scrolls Naruto "helped." Itachi had taught Naruto and Sasuke everything that kids their age could handle in Kenjutsu. He also taught Naruto and Sasuke basic jutsu and a few elemental jutsu. Gaara was a different story. Itachi figured out his sand manipulation and its source, the one tailed demon Shukaku. He bought a sand gourd for Gaara to make it easier to supply himself with sand. Using different movements he taught Gaara ways to use the sand to form things and use certain elements to his advantage. Image wise the black ninja suits still fit. Sasuke was turning into the fan girl obsessed kid we all know and somewhat loathe. Gaara grew taller and besides that is the same. Naruto, compared to the others, hadn't changed at all.
"Naruto, Sasuke, Gaara, I have to check out something so you three just take a break or train."
"Where are you going brother?" asked Sasuke.
"That is something for me to know and for you to never find out," answered Itachi.
Little did Sasuke know, Itachi was going to ancient ruins that used to be the home of the Uchiha ancestors. He took the large scroll Naruto found in the Ninja Store with him.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Itachi was inside a cave with marking all over its inside. After infusing chakra into the scroll it opened. Inside it had a title that read Ninja S- Rank Techniques. He put his hand on one of the techniques and its information could be read. This particular technique read Mangekyo Sharingan Transformation. Itachi had studied the signs for this ever since he opened the scroll months ago and now was the time to perform them. Suddenly his eyes began to glow blue and they turned to their Sharingan stage. The blue chakra erupted and the designs around Itachi's pupil changed to the ones of the Mangekyo Sharingan.

Naruto, Sasuke, and Gaara went back to camp and as night fell Naruto and Sasuke fell asleep. Gaara stood and watched over the camp because of his fear of the thing inside him biting away at his personality. Once Naruto fell asleep he found himself standing in a sewer.
"Where am I?" asked Naruto.
"You are in the domain of the Kyuubi no Kitsune. You are the vessel that I live in and since I don't want to die, I will communicate with you supplying information on how to NOT DIE."
"Okay, thanks for giving me the heads up Mr. Fox."
"That's Kyuubi to you meat bag," spat Kyuubi.
After his talk he awoke to see Itachi lying on the ground, next to the big scroll, with bandages wrapped around his eyes. Gaara and Sasuke were sitting next to him watching for any movement from his body. Gaara explained that he found him lying on the ground some ways down the mountain. Hours later Itachi started to get up and then he explained that something happened to him that caused his eyes to stop working for a little bit.

After Itachi regained his eyesight, training had picked up quite a bit and he had gone through every ninja scroll they had except the big one. His Kenjutsu lessons picked up and he introduced new fighting styles and elemental manipulation with it. On their training journey Itachi left to get something in a village so Gaara, Sasuke, and Naruto went into a small town near them and bought some new clothes. Gaara still wears his black ninja suit but he has an iron chest plate on it. He also wears a long red and white coat that has a kanji on the back that reads love, just like the one on his forehead. His hair now reaches right above his shoulder blades. Sasuke got rid of his black suit and replaced it with tight blue and white clothes covered with a grey jacket that goes to his knees. His hair is like it always has been. Naruto replaced his black ninja suit with a tight, orange t- shirt and black pants.
