The next six months were spent teaching Naruto all the Jutsu the Uchihas had learned while away from the village. Naruto spent every Sunday asleep while The Kyuubi took control of his body and talked strategy with Itachi. Most times Naruto was so sore that when The Kyuubi took over he was using most of his energy to try to heal the burning muscle tissue. "That could work… but you'll never get him to agree to it." Kyuubi said.

"If it means that Sasuke will live and the village won't be destroyed, I'm sure he will." Itachi said simply.

"If he had that much sense we'd be out of the fire country by now."

Itachi thought this over. "Okay you got me there." Itachi said. "But it could be the edge he needs. The Akatsuki already have four of the tailed beasts (1). Naruto will need all the help he can get."

"Yeah but taking one of your eyes? He'll never agree to that."

"Well maybe if he takes one from each of us?"

"Again he would object to it. You know what kind of person he is. He would never stand for this." Kyuubi said rubbing his temples.

"Then we should do it now while he's asleep." Itachi said.

"You'll do no such thing." Sasuke said walking into the room. "Whatever you're planning I won't let you do it until Naruto is awake and he can decide for himself."

"We're going to give him my Sharingan." Itachi said as if he didn't expect Sasuke to have a problem with it.

"You're out of your freaking mind! Naruto would die if he woke up to find you had only one eye and he could somehow see the world in great detail!"

"It could be the thing that saves his life." Itachi Said.

Sasuke fell silent. He opened his mouth to say something but no words came. "We have to let him decide. Control is important to him it was taken away from him once and I won't let it happen again."

"The brat's right this should be Naruto's choice. He might not go for it but at least he'll be the one to make that choice." Kyuubi said.

"What are you two talking about?" Itachi said hating being on the outside of things.

"A couple of years ago Naruto was raped. He still puts on a tough face and pretends that everything is okay but I still hear him cry at night. Some nights I stay up all night to hold him in his sleep. I don't want to confront him about it but I want to be able to do something to help him you know?"

Itachi was silent. Even when he had found Naruto within an inch of life, he seemed strong enough to stand up to Orochimaru. To think that he could be raped by… anyone was almost unimaginable. "Fine. We'll let him choose."

Six more months had passed before Sasuke mentioned the plan to Naruto. Naruto was lying on his back panting hard. He was covered in sweat and couldn't seem to catch his breath. He could only see darkness even though his eyes were wide open. Sasuke sat down next to him. Both Uchihas had taught him everything they knew now all there was left to do was perfect the Jutsu and keep his chakra under control.

Even after all these years, Naruto had never learned how to keep his chakra under control. He always used more than he needed and exhausted himself about halfway through. Now the idiot was nearly at absolute zero. He could barely move his fingers let alone argue now was the best time to spring it on him. "I want you to take my eyes."

"Fuck no." Or maybe not.

"It could be the thing that saves your life."

"And leave you blind."

Naruto looked off to the side a habit he had formed for when Kyuubi talked to him. "Well maybe not. I've been looking at some old spells from my clan and found an attribute switching charm." The Kyuubi said.

"What are the risks?" Naruto said

"Sasuke could lose his chakra. But he'll be alive and he won't have to lose his sight he'll just have blue eyes." Kyuubi said.

"Could it be done with only one eye?"

"Yes But-"

"Naruto I want you to take both my eyes. With only one there's still a chance they can catch you off guard." Sasuke pleaded taking one of Naruto's hands in his own.

"Kakashi-sensei can teach me to make do with just one." Naruto said.

Sasuke could think of no objection to this seeing as how Kakashi was one of the best ninja in the fire country. He sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. A habit he had picked up from The Kyuubi. "Fine we should get started right away we only have six months to prepare (2)."

Naruto created five clones, one for each point of the pentagram. Kyuubi possessed them and had them get the room ready.

"My father would flip if he found out we turned his study into an occult shrine." Itachi said to The Kyuubi.

The demon smirked. As the final preparations were made. "So he wouldn't care that his youngest son is about to give your clan's trait to an outsider." Kyuubi said jokingly.

Sasuke and Naruto were called in. They started the dance the Kyuubi had taught them. Sasuke was unsure of his movements but Naruto seemed more in tune with the feral dance. They moved around the pentagram brushing against each other every occasionally. The Kyuubis chanted while Itachi read from a piece of parchment that Kyuubi had given him.

"AppellamusMaioresTransTempore Et Spatio!

May Constituunt Iam In Hoc Loco

NosCerteSwitchDudum Elapsum

To Give The Power Which We Ask

TradeOculosEtInclusumVirtus"

Itachi chanted as though he had been spell casting his entire life.

"We Call Our Ancestors Through Time And Space

To Come Now And Settle In This Place

We Switch Events Long Since Passed

Trade The Eyes And The Power Held Within"

The Kyuubis translated each line.

There was a flash of energy and the cloned poofed out of existence. Itachi was nearly knocked off his feet. When he could see again he saw Naruto and Sasuke on the floor. He quickly checked their vitals. Sasuke's were strong but it seemed Naruto was near death yet again. He hoped that the Kyuubi was able to save him. He had done too much for this village to let it be destroyed now. However, it looked like fate had different plans. Sasuke shot up his eyes alert. And, just as The Kyuubi had warned, mismatched. There was an ANBU next to them. "The Akatsuki are on their way all ninja are required to report to the Hokage." He said. "That includes you sir," the officer said with a slight bow to Itachi.

"We Have To Get Naruto somewhere safe." Sasuke said.

"Kyuubi?" Itachi said hearing the slight shift in his little brother's voice.

"No he leaked into me a bit but I'm still me. It might be in our favor. I do feel a little stronger."

1: I don't even know where I am in the time line anymore. So this is just a random number.

2: I mean to get him trained. The ceremony only takes three hours.

Abel: Sorry about the wait between school and work I've been sleeping like a Prego chick.

Naruto: That's just wrong.

Abel: *Sticks Out Tongue* anyway I get the next two weeks off from school and fewer workdays so I should have a new chapter up soon ^_^.

Sasuke And Itachi: *Break From Hamster Ball*

Abel: *Releases Cat* *Evil Laugh*

Naruto: I feel like I should do something. *Watches Sasuke And Itachi Run For Their Lives*

Abel: Leave A Review!

Naruto: Or A Flame. He uses them to make s'mores.

Abel: And To Light things on fire!

Naruto: You're not even trying to control your demon half are you?

Abel: 0.0
