Fay: This chapter isn't edited. I may go back one day and edit it but for now it stays like this. Crappy and horrible. I don't know why this turned out this way but it's really dark. It's a darkfic and I didn't even intend for it to be this way.

Jayne: You were pissed at the computer and took out your anger on the fic.

Fay: That's probably it. Please read and enjoy peoples.

Naruto walked through the forest slowly. Deidara, Sasori, Tobi and Itachi were all behind him. Everyone, including Naruto, was wearing their Akatsuki trench coats. Naruto was even wearing his ring for the first time. Since he was joining, he figured he should go ahead and wear it. No one was worried about being found out because Naruto was wearing a coat; in fact they knew everything would go perfect. Only a few people knew what their trench coats looked like and they would pass it off as a silly costume or something like that.

Naruto stood at the edge of the party looking back for a second as he wavered. Could he really betray his village? If he wanted to stay with Itachi, he would have to. Naruto sighed and stepped into the light. Everyone's heads turned his way and he blushed at the attention. Sakura took his hand and pulled his through the crowd, forcing him to stand next to Sasuke. Sasuke eyed the outfit but brushed it off as some prank. After all, Naruto was famous for that kind of stuff.

He could see the trees move in the wind and he knew the others were moving to their positions while they could be hidden. With ANBU here it would be tricky to simply kill a few people and get away. It would be much harder. But Sasori said the leader would think of this as a test. To prove his skills. Naruto knew that if he could get away with this, he would be bumped up on the charts for sure.

Many people came by, looking at Naruto's outfit and then congratulating them both on the engagement. It was torture. Thirty more minuets of this and he would just explode from frustration. Still, he had to keep a level head, for Itachi's sake and his own. He took a deep breath and smiled at the rest of the people who congratulated them. Naruto wasn't sure he had ever talked to this many people in his life. Although, living a secluded life with the Akatsuki might have something to do with that.

Finally the time had come. Two ANBU members were standing in the middle of the crowd, talking to their loved ones. Oh well, Naruto thought as he felt the kunai hidden in the long arms of his coat poke his finger lightly. He made them drop into his palm so he could get a better grip on them. The arms covered the kunai just enough so no one could see them.

He walked towards the crowd turning his head towards Sasuke. "Sorry, Sasuke." he said over the loud chatter around them. "I have to do something." Sasuke raised an elegant eyebrow at this but turned to get some punch.

Naruto's heart was beating fast. His face felt hot and his chest throbbed with the constant pounding of his heart. The thrill of knowing that he would soon be an official Akatsuki member made everything seem almost perfect. The only thing that made him question his decision was the fact that he would have to kill in order to do it.

Other than that everything was fine.

The two ANBU members were talking and laughing. Naruto recognized the older one as the captain and the younger one as the second in command. Naruto could remember a time when the village hated him and the ANBU had to check his seal to make sure no leaks could be found. The captain was a horrible person. He abused Naruto like the others did. Naruto felt nothing but hatred for him. The other man was nicer but he still treated Naruto like a demon. As if he were the Kyuubi instead of the host of Kyuubi. Naruto was about to put an end to some of his pain.

The two glanced at him and glared, a look of hatred for the demon boy. They turned their backs to him. Good, Naruto thought. This would make it easier. As Naruto neared them he could pick out what they were saying. They were talking about how Sasuke had chosen Naruto instead of someone worthy of the Uchiha's love. Naruto's rage flared at he neared them even more. Now people were staring at him, watching as he walked towards them eyes darkened by hate.

One quick move and it was over.

The kunai hit the perfect spot, and they crumpled to the floor into a pile. At first there was still chatter until they realized what had happened. People began screaming, horrified expressions gathered on their faces as they ran around screaming for help. Naruto whirled around in a circle taking out six jounine ninja in one strike. An explosion erupted to Naruto's right while people on his left screamed at the huge puppet towering over them. Then Itachi was behind him. Naruto sighed. He knew everything would be okay since Itachi was here.

Jariaya clamped a hand on Naruto's shoulder, startling Naruto out of his trance. Naruto almost cut his head off but he stopped when he saw it was Jariaya.

"Are you leaving?" He asked.

"That was a dumb question." Itachi said as he tossed shuriken at two ANBU members. They struck with lightning fast speed.

"Yeah. I guess so." The old man hugged Naruto and Naruto hugged back. Some people stared curiously. While everyone else was running around, the old pervert was hugging his student. Was that weird or what?

"I think this gets me into the bingo book!" Naruto called over his shoulder as he kicked an ANBU team leader in the stomach. "Should we go?" Itachi turned his head and threw a kunai.

"Lets keep on for about five minuets. If Sasori and Deidara don't kill those two ANBU members now, we're toast. They are the last ones anyway. The jounine don't matter. We can out run them."

Naruto nodded as he tossed another kunai at a jounine, trying to keep them away as Itachi wrestled with his own opponent. Naruto glanced to the side, seeing Sasuke stare at Naruto in horror as the realization hit him like a brick. Naruto's chest hurt suddenly, as if he had just killed a part of himself. Leaving Sasuke would be hard but it probably felt like this for Sasuke when he left Naruto. Maybe. It wasn't as if Naruto was going to ask now.

Naruto turned his head, seeing Tsunade usher a flock of kids away from the fight. She would have fought if Naruto weren't there. Naruto knew this and he wanted to tell her to stop him, to fight him and make him pay for destroying the village once again. But it was too late now.

Sasuke shook his head violently. He forced himself from his reverie and tackled Naruto to the ground. The impact was harsh, Naruto toppling to the ground with Sasuke on top of him, pinning his hands above his head, glaring into the blue eyes that no longer looked innocent. Naruto glared up at him, trying to force the boy off with his foot. Unfortunately, the impact had made Naruto stumble foolishly; spraining is foot in the process. This wasn't going to earn points with the leader.

"Why the hell did you do this?" Sasuke growled viciously. He moved his leg between Naruto's making sure that there was no way the boy could get up. "I came back for you! I came back for you and you kicked me down like this? Rejection hurts a lot worse than it did back then!" Sasuke was mad.

"I had been planning this forever!" Naruto said with a pout. "You ruined everything! I had a nice plan worked out and everything! Then you showed up with your loyalty problems! Don't you realize I've moved on?" Naruto let a tear fall down, putting his next plan into motion. He took a deep breath and smirked at Sasuke. "Itachi! Itachi! Help! Sasuke's got me in a precarious position!" His fake innocence was not fooling anybody. Itachi did turn around though, shoving the kunai into the guy he was fighting he then rushed over to Naruto, grabbed Sasuke by the back of the neck and tossed him a few long feet.

Sasuke sat up and watched as Itachi examined Naruto's leg. "Be more careful! It's sprained!" Itachi touched it gingerly. When Naruto flinched, he gave an apologetic smile and a small kiss to the forehead. It made Sasuke's heart flop. Itachi picked Naruto up bridal style, motioning to Tobi who was currently eating cake in the corner. Why had they brought Tobi along? Because he couldn't be left in the house alone.

Sasori and Deidara jumped through the trees as soon as Itachi took off with Naruto, staying behind in case any surprise attacks were launched. Although they highly doubted that since all of the ANBU had been killed and most of the jounine ninja's were dead. He hated to know that he had just left his village in total ruin without any protection for a good while, but in all honesty, it felt good to be bad. He liked the rush he was getting.

Sasuke stood at the edge of the forest, eyes downcast, tears threatening to spill. Naruto wasn't in love with him. He was in love with Itachi. It didn't seem fair that Sasuke had come back for Naruto only for Naruto to leave him once he got back. It didn't seem fair at all.

Tsunade looked at the Uchiha at the forest. She could tell he was teetering on the brink of insanity and she wanted to help, she wanted to console him for his lost love. Just an hour ago they had been attacked by the Akatsuki and Sasuke still hadn't moved from his spot by the woods. She reckoned he didn't know how long he had been standing there. The boy was probably questioning his reasons for staying in the village now. He might even be questioning his sanity. Naruto was the only reason he came back. That reason had been stripped from him in mere seconds.

Tsunade couldn't stand it any longer. She walked past the people picking up all the dead bodies and walked up to Sasuke. She put a hand on his shoulder slowly. He flinched but didn't draw back completely.

"He's not dead, you know." Tsunade said softly. She knew her words might now help but she knew they would stay with him forever. "He's just gone. Gone from the village. There is a chance that he'll come back, too." That last part was a lie. She knew he wouldn't be back. How could he return to the village that ridiculed him and abused him so mercilessly? They forced him into doing things that they themselves wouldn't wish on others, but since he was a demon vessel the people thought it was all right. It was there fault he left and she was going to make sure they knew. They had taken her surrogate son away. Without that push, he would have never have killed so many. He wouldn't have left at all if they had just treated him the way the fourth wanted him to be treated.

She felt a tear fall down her cheek as the impact of the moment finally hit her. If he ever wanted to come back, she would let him. She would let him into her arms and hug him so tightly the love would break him. She sniffed and wiped the tear, looking up.

A small note was attached to a tree.

She wondered over to it plucking it carefully from the tree so she wouldn't rip it. It was from Naruto. It was written in neat handwriting as if he wanted every word to be perfect and flawless. There were even tearstains on the paper where he had cried.

Dear Konoha, (I know it will be Tsunade who finds this, though.)

You were like a mother to me and I will always respect you as a mother and as a superior; even if I were to surpass you I will always look up to you. You are the only one who really understood me enough to let me go. It's like when mothers realize their child is ready to go off. You knew I would one day leave you and Konoha behind. No one will understand why I did what I did tonight. I don't fully understand it myself, but I know one thing. I will always love Itachi. I would do anything for him and anything to be with him and stay with him. By now, I have already killed many of your ANBU and Jounin. Sorry if that leaves you defenseless but there is one thing that I want you to know, to give you hope: I will always be there. From now on, I will be keeping an eye on the village, making sure no one sends attacks or infiltrates your gates. Well, at least until you have enough means to survive a fight on your own. You think I will never return, but there will be a time when I come back. Whether it be a warning of an oncoming attack or a friendly visit I am sure that you will accept me into your arms with a hug and a kiss. If others read this, they may think this would be an insane accusation, but it is in fact true. Please keep the village safe.

With love, always looking over you,

Naruto Uchiha.

Tsunade dried her eyes with her sleeve. She started walking back towards the park. She would definitely open her arms to him. He needed it and she needed it. He could kill every jounine and every person in the village but she would always love him as a son. The reason? Well, simply put, she knew if things had been different, Naruto would have stayed and lived a happy life as Hokage of the hidden leaf. But Itachi was his lover and things were like this. Turmoil was what lay on this path. The other? Well, no one really knows because the path that Naruto took determined all of their fates. His decision forced everyone into his path. But the other path, given different circumstances, everyone's fate would be determined there too. Naruto was a link between all of them, and he decided everything for them, whether he realized it or not.

But we could only wonder what would happen given different conditions…

Fay: So what did you think? It was horrible! I know. I didn't intend for it to be this dark. I meant for a happy ending not something like this. How did it happen like this? Well, this is the end. It was short but worth it.

Jayne: Are you gonna ask?

Fay: Oh yeah! Do you guys want to know what the other circumstances are? It's not ItaNaru it's SasuNaru and it starts off the same way except, instead of meeting Itachi over his two years, he meets up with Sasuke. Sorta the same thing but there is just more Sai hitting on Naruto and more Sakura fawning over Naruto as if he is god. It wont be dark, I promise. Although this one wasn't supposed to be dark either…

PEACE AND LURV!!!
