Naruto was sitting at the main gate with Sasuke, Itachi, and Kakashi. "No don't try to use both eyes until you get the hang of it. You'll overload your brain with both images at top speed." Kakashi was saying

"But it seems fine now." Naruto said blinking his mismatched eyes.

"Right you learn by doing don't you?" Kakashi sighed. "Try running full speed across the village with both eyes open. When you have to stop try coming back with only your Sharingan eye open."

Naruto bolted to the far wall of the village only to run into a wall that his eye was telling him was a mile off while Sasuke's eye said it was two feet away. Naruto stood rubbing his forehead. "Okay that is hard." He mumbled before turning around to try to do it with only one eye. The results were better but he moved early and almost ended up running into other walls. He figured he would have to learn to sync his reflexes with his new sight whenever he got a chance.

"Eyes up." Sasuke warned.

When Naruto returned to their perch, there was an Akatsuki member coming to the gate. He was fully cloaked and had a Wara Booshi on his (1) head. The four Sharingan users tensed for the upcoming battle. Kakashi held up a hand to signal the ninja cells behind him to get ready.

"Itachi!" the man yelled. "Get down here; I want to speak to you!"

"Kisame… He sounds upset." Kakashi said.

"He sounds on the verge of tears…" Sasuke observed the little Kyuubi in his mind picking up on the weakness almost immediately. The realization sent a little fearful shiver up his spine, is this what it had always been like for Naruto? Knowing the weakness in everyone and exactly how to exploit it but constantly denying himself the pleasure? He snaked an around the blonde's waist and pulled him close.

Itachi was on the Ground his Sharingan at the ready. Kisame looked at his former partner with smoldering hatred. "Why did you leave?" he asked.

Itachi detected something in the swordsman's voice that he wasn't quite able to identify. "I had to do what was best for my village." Itachi stated simply.

"Have I not followed your every command? Have I not been by your side at every waking moment? Have I not protected you when you needed it? (2)" Kisame was crying by this time

"Kisame I-"

The anthro (3) threw his arms around the elder Uchiha. "Can you not see how I love you?" he sobbed.

Naruto blinked Sasuke fell over laughing and Kakashi simply poofed away. Itachi stared at the trees behind the other man. "Kisame. Kisame look at me." Kisame turned watery eyes to his partner (4). Itachi pressed a soft kiss to his lips. "I love you too my beautiful Raubtier (5)"

Kisame was crying even as Itachi lead him into the village. Naruto clapped a hand on Kisame's shoulder and smiled approvingly. "Any threat to the village and I'll take you out. You hurt my brother and I'll make you beg for death." Sasuke said.

"Be nice." Naruto said.

The couples stood on the gate eyes out ward awaiting the next attack confident they could take on the universe.
