Okay, really sorry about slow updates. To be honest, it was mostly writer's block, but also the Fanfiction site wasn't allowing me to upload any new documents -_-

When One Betrays
Chapter 12: To Betray
***Time-Skip: Naruto is on his way to train with Killer B***
He sighed heavily as he'd yet again fixed a problem between opposing ninja. The stop on the way to the Land of Lightning was supposed to be just for rest and restocking, but of course, a fight broke out.
Naruto had been unable to resist stepping in to help the Iwagakure ninja, not realizing that the girl was the granddaughter of the Tsuchikage. They kept referring to him as a 'messenger boy' obviously not recognizing him either.
His abdomen stung from the wound he'd received getting in between the Iwagakure shinobi and Assassin group from Kirigakure. Lifting his hand to rub his pounding head, the blonde failed to notice the pothole in the ground until he'd already started to fall forwards.
"You are injured, Naruto" came the cool voice of the man that had broken his fall. The blonde smiled and blushed, still feeling a little light headed from the blood loss.
Itachi turned him over in his arms and kissed him softly. He laid Naruto back against the Earth and moved to pull up his shirt, only to receive an 'eep' from his lover. The blonde had a mixture of shame, sadness, and longing on his usually smile covered face.
It didn't take the Uchiha long to figure out what was bothering him. "I'm only going to use medical ninjutsu to make sure you are alright. You have no reason to be nervous."
Naruto relaxed as the green light flowed across his abdomen, speeding up his already advanced healing. He watched the man's face, searching it for disappointment; after all, he was disappointed in himself. Itachi was not Sasuke, and while he had hurt him before, the blonde was confident he would never do it again.
There was always a difference in the way the two Uchiha's had touched him, even in the very beginning when Itachi first came to his apartment. Naruto didn't mind being held or even passionately kissed by the elder man, but something about becoming more intimate made him feel uncomfortable, like the Uchiha might be able to tell what all Sasuke had done with him.
When he was satisfied with his work, Itachi stood and held out his hand to Naruto. The blonde looked at it intensely before getting to his knees and grabbing the edge of the Raven's pants instead.
He looked up at his lover, his blue eyes showing the many emotions he had without any attempt at hiding them.
"Naruto, there is no need to-"
"I want to Itachi; I want to feel you in my mouth and have you completely replace Sasuke's taste. I…I need to touch you…" the blonde interrupted, his voice strong but pleading.
The Uchiha fell silent, he wanted to be intimate with Naruto so badly it hurt. It had been months since they had last been physically close. He watched as the teen slowly pulled down his boxers to reveal his already hardening member, and groaned almost inaudibly when his cock was sucked into the boy's wet throat.
Naruto bobbed his head vigorously, his previous worries caused by the younger Uchiha melting away as the hot length filled his mouth. It gave him goosebumps to hear the soft sounds of gratification from the usually stoic Raven, and he pushed his cavern down further, taking in as much as he could.
Itachi laced his fingers in Naruto's golden hair and tilted his head back, unable to contain the immense pleasure his lover was bestowing on him. He never thought that he would receive such adoration from anyone, much less a boy he'd been assigned to hunt down.
The coiling in the older man's groin started to become tight, the blonde's tongue swirling around the swollen head before rubbing against the bottom as he deep throated again. "Hnnng Naruto" he moaned, jerking his hips slightly as he exploded into the teens waiting mouth.
Itachi kept his eyes closed, partly from the immense satisfaction he felt, but also from not wanting to see if his love was upset from having him release so violently into his mouth; he was sure his little brother had done the same.
When he could no longer feign his lack of eye contact on his orgasm, he worked up the courage to peer down. Naruto was licking his lips in such an innocent, but seductive way the Uchiha almost become erect all over again.
Feeling he'd already been given far more than what he deserved, the Raven slipped himself back into his pants and crouched down in front of the still kneeling boy. He thought of different ways to apologize, not wanting it to come off as though he hadn't wanted or enjoyed the attention.
"You taste good" Naruto voiced, wrapping his arms around the mans' shoulders. Itachi couldn't help it, he let a small tint appear on his cheeks, but returned the embrace, holding his lover securely.
Although it almost killed the Uchiha to say it, he reminded the blonde that his escorts were looking for him. Naruto gave a sad smile and kissed the Raven passionately. "Come to see me again soon? Next time I know I'll be ready."
Itachi felt his insides start to burn slowly at the implications, and nodded.
***Time-Skip: Naruto Joins the War***
Naruto and Killer B stared down the reanimated form of Nagato, the blonde wishing such jutsu had never been created. He'd beaten the Rinnegan wielder before, but it had taken most of his strength, and Pein had not been practically immortal then.
Nagato fought hard against his puppeteer, but couldn't stop himself from trying to pull Naruto's soul from his body. He pleaded silently in the recesses of his mind for another miracle to take place.
"Ita-Itachi…" the blonde gasped, feeling his strength leaving him.
As if called forth, the elder Uchiha arrived, his full Susanoo saving his lover and the other Jinchuriki.
The Raven held onto Naruto as the corpse flew back together, "this will be no easy battle" he thought.
***After Nagato is freed from the jutsu***
The blonde practically tackled Itachi once he was sure they were out of immediate danger. It had been too long since their last meeting. The Uchiha leaned down and kissed his ecstatic lover chastely, aware of the fully blushing man a few feet from them.
"Take care of Naruto for me?" he asked, pulling away from the warm embrace.
Killer B nodded, his head still turned slightly from watching his newest friend make out with a known criminal.
"Where are you going?" Naruto asked, his eyes full of worry. He gripped onto Itachi's clothes tightly, preventing the man from moving any further.
"Someone must put an end to the man casting this reanimation jutsu, but it is tricky. Killing the shinobi will not undo the technique, so I am best suited to go with my Sharingan. You go on ahead with him and join your friends. They desperately need you right now" he answered, petting the blonde's cheek.
The teen huffed loudly, not wanting to be separated from Itachi again, but he knew the man was right. "Please, come back to me. Promise?" he begged, his wide blue eyes shining with love and anxiety.
"Always" the man answered, kissing him gently once more before disappearing into a cloud of ravens.
"Yo Naruto, we got to go! But don't think I don't need to know! Tell me what's up with you kissing that man fo' show. Fool, ya fool!" Killer B rapped, still feeling like he'd interrupted a beautiful moment with his presence.
The blonde smiled widely, he'd almost forgotten his newest mentor was still there, watching him get all gushy with the missing ninja.
The elder Uchiha flew through the trees, having read in Nagato's mind where to find the one controlling him. He knew he'd have to focus when he arrived, but he kept thinking about Naruto, and if he'd be okay on the front lines.
"I-Itachi?" Sasuke gasped, seeing his brother. Even though Suigetsu had sworn up and down that he couldn't find any trace of someone other than the two Uchiha brothers and Naruto in the room, the Raven couldn't admit that his Aniki was still alive.
The elder inwardly groaned and growled at hearing his Ototo's voice. Though he still loved Sasuke dearly, he couldn't promise himself that he couldn't beat the boy within an inch of his life for touching Naruto. He'd also heard all the terrible things Sasuke was doing in the name of revenge for him.
He sped up, doing his best to outrun the younger, though he knew he'd eventually be caught up to.
When Sasuke reached the hideout where he felt his brother's chakra stop, he was overcome with nervousness. Itachi had looked alive and well, his eyes a sharper shade of black than they had been their last encounter. The youngers own eyes had already been replaced by Madara, giving him the eternal Mangekyo.
But his Aniki had given him an irritated, bordering on disgusted look, and he knew exactly what had caused it. He had no doubt in his mind now that Itachi had indeed been the one to 'kidnap' Naruto back from him, and was probably not pleased that Sasuke had stolen his property.
Even so, he needed answers that only his elder brother could give him, and he walked into the dark cave.
"I am in no mood for you right now Sasuke" Itachi stated as the younger Uchiha entered.
"How are you alive? I watched you take your last breath" he asked, ignoring his brother's dismissal.
When he didn't answer, Sasuke decided to see if getting under his skin would work, "Naruto may have run back to you for now. But he'll never stop thinking about me when you touch him. I've ruined your toy."
Itachi felt the hard-fought mask he upheld start to slip away at his younger brother's words. The bastard was trying to piss him off, he knew this, but that didn't change the fact that it was working.
The younger saw the slight tense in his Aniki's shoulders and sneered, "don't act like what I did is so terrible brother. You and I are no different."
Again, the elder felt a sting in his heart. As cruel as the comment was, it held truth; he had forced himself on the teen many times before Naruto had eventually started to have feelings for him. "As I have said, I do not have time to deal with you right now Sasuke. There are more important matters for me to attend to" he answered through gritted teeth.
"You always do that; even when we were children you never had time for me" the young Raven growled.
Itachi almost snapped at him before the image on Naruto on his knees, begging the Raikage to spare Sasuke crossed his mind. He let his shoulders sag, knowing this childish, and borderline insane behavior was ultimately his creation.
"I will answer your questions once I have lifted the reanimation jutsu Ototo" the elder promised.
***After the Battle****
Sasuke walked stiffly after his brother, following him out of the cave and back out into the moonlight. They'd worked together perfectly, just as they had years ago before all the chaos and trauma had taken over their lives.
"Are you going to kill me?" the younger asked, knowing he'd truly angered his brother. He felt some remorse for all the sins he'd committed, but even knowing the truth about why Itachi massacred the clan and hearing it from the man himself, he couldn't let go of what Konoha had done. He also hadn't fully given up on claiming the blonde for his own, or at the very least killing him, and he'd been sure to let his brother know that.
"You are the product of the hate my will forced onto you; I cannot pass judgment nor blame on you solely. But I will not allow you to kill Naruto or destroy the Leaf" Itachi responded.
The younger scowled, "that's not an answer Aniki."
Itachi gazed at him thoughtfully for several minutes, his dark, mysterious eyes holding emotions Sasuke didn't understand. "No, I will leave you in Naruto's capable hands. He will do with you as he sees fit."
With one last poke to the forehead, Itachi began to walk off into the darkness of the forest.
"Where the hell are you going?" Sasuke screamed after him, feeling like they weren't through with their conversation.
"If Madara succeeds, the world will end. I am going to help MY Naruto now, I suggest you take a hard look at your options and do the same" he replied coolly and disappeared into the night.
***Time-Skip: Final Battle of the Valley of the End***
Naruto had left his comrades in Itachi's capable hands to go and finally settle things with Sasuke, who despite having decided to help with stopping Kaguya, still maintained his resolve to kill and take over as the new 'Hokage'.The two clashed, their Susanoo and full Nine-tails forms battling to what appeared to be the death.
"Why can't you just forget your hatred and come back to Konoha!" the blonde cried out, still trying to bring his old friend back to the light.
"Because of what they did to Itachi! They are corrupt Naruto!" he screamed back, his eyes bleeding from overuse.
The blonde almost rolled his eyes at the statement, it was humorous coming from the man that had kidnapped and forcefully abused him. "That's why I'm going to change it! When I'm Hokage I'll never let anything like the massacre happen again!"
But it didn't get through to the Raven, their epic fight continued on, driving them both far beyond their limits. The two eventually resorted to wrestling around in the dirty water, neither willing to back down.
"I'm going to kill you if I can't have you for myself Naruto!" Sasuke seethed, holding the boys head under the water.
The blonde bucked his hips, tossing the possessive Uchiha over his head and punching him hard in the back. "Fuck off Sasuke! I love Itachi and I'll never be yours! You're only saying that because you've always wanted whatever your brother had!"
They both stood up again, prepared for another round of clumsily thrown jabs and kicks. "And I won't let you stay in the darkness. I won't let you betray everyone, including yourself!" Naruto growled, willing more strength into his aching muscles.
The last attack echoed through the forest, beckoning Sakura, Kakashi, and Itachi to their position. Both boys had an arm missing, and were heavily beaten. But Naruto smiled up at his comrades and gave them a shaky thumbs up.
The elder Uchiha moved quickly and slammed his fist down into his brother's already shattered cheek, startling Sakura who had started healing them both.
"Mine." He growled lowly, moving back over to his injured lover.
Naruto gave him a short reprimanding look but then turned his head to rest it on Itachi's knee. "Will you come back to Konoha too?" he asked, his bloodshot and swollen blue eyes shining in worry.
Itachi stared down at him, his face completely blank. Despite the circumstances, if he was even allowed back into the Leaf, he'd never be forgiven for his crimes, especially since he didn't want his true reasons being revealed to the villagers. The Uchiha name would be forever ruined if that occurred. In addition, Naruto would likely lose most of his credibility and may never achieve his dream of Hokage status just by association with such a man. Could he ask Naruto to betray everything he'd always held dear just for him?
His black eyes filled with sadness, and he touched the boy's cheek tenderly. "Naruto…"
