Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Haou Airen
Itachi and Naruto were both escorted to central HQ late one night in silence. Just last night Danzo had passed away due to an assassination. Him and fifty other subordinates were attacked in the middle of night and killed instantly. Not knowing what else to do, the elders scheduled an immediate meeting with Itachi and Naruto.
Both boys took their stance in front of the elders, heads slightly bowed. Alyssa and her father, Madara, were also in the meeting room standing beside the elders. Madara's face was strong and unmoving. He stood tall unlike his daughter who was fiddling with her fingers and shaking lightly. Her dark eyes kept darting back and forth between Naruto and Itachi.
"This wasn't supposed to be announced yet but with the recent passing of Danzo-sama it seems that we have no choice." Tsunade spoke quickly, eyes darting back and forth between Naruto and Itachi.
"We have come to a decision to appoint the new leader of the Kitsune Organization." She paused and stopped directly in front of them.
"Itachi!"
Said bow lifted his head, his heart beating rapidly in his chest.
"Even though you are the perfect candidate to become the heir you have done nothing but fail your missions."
"Fail? But, all my duties have been successful." Itachi said back with wide eyes, not understanding what she was saying.
"Yes, they have been successful but there have been too many causalities and speculation about our Organization around the area." Tsunade eyed him hard, her lips pressed into a thin line. "We're starting to become hated to all other associations and not noted for the peace that we try to bring. I'll be damned if I'll have our reputation tainted because of some simple mistakes that would most likely happen if you were to be named the superior."
Licking his lips, Itachi reluctantly nodded his head and stared back at the floor.
"That is why today we have come up with the decision that Uzumaki Naruto will be in power until the day when he can't fulfill his duties correctly, commits an act of betrayal, or be killed. This is the final decision." Tsunade tore her eyes away from the raven and looked over towards Naruto.
"Uzumaki Naruto!"
Naruto lifted his head, looking straight into her eyes seriously, "Yes, Tsunade-sama."
"Your coronation will be held tomorrow night at the banquet hall as well as your wedding ceremony. There you will be acknowledged to the other members of your new status. Do you understand?"
"Yes."
Pinching the bridge of her nose, Tsunade walked back to her seat beside Jiraiya and Orochimaru. "Itachi you are dismissed for tonight, but tomorrow you will be present at the banquet hall. Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes, Tsunade-sama."
Before Itachi walked out of the room, he couldn't help but spare a glance at Alyssa. His heart constricted tightly together as he saw the look of happiness on her face. If only she would have looked at him like that. If only he was chosen instead of Naruto. If only. His once emotionless face turned cold. Even though his most recent plan backfired horribly it was only a matter of time before his next one would come into effect.
Just like he was told, Itachi was escorted to the banquet hall along with the other hundred members of the Kitsune Organization. They all waited patiently at the bottom of the grand stairwell for the arrival of Naruto and Alyssa. They all stood in huddled groups gossiping to themselves about the most recent actions.
'So Kushina's son was made the next heir, huh?'
'I wonder if he'll be successful?'
'Can you believe he's only sixteen!'
Itachi scowled in distaste, tugging a little at the golden cuff links that were around his wrist.
The men were dressed in tuxedos and the girls dressed in elaborate ball gowns, all of them sipping at small glasses of wine. Itachi was never the social type so he stood by himself against a wall, hands buried deep in his pockets. Seconds later, the room grew quiet and all eyes were focused at the top of the staircase.
Naruto and Lady Alyssa were perched up at the top of the stairs, hand and hand and grinning widely. Well, Alyssa was grinning wildly. Naruto's face was a little strained. Looking closer at him, Itachi spotted two white bandages on both sides of his cheeks. Itachi knew what it was. He was branded with three identical lines on his face indicating that he was the new leader.
More minutes went by, as a small speech was made to the people below of his new status as well as his marriage to Alyssa. They didn't go through with the normal ceremony that a wedding was supposed to have. The only thing that happened was a few words that were exchanged and a chaste kiss by the newlyweds ending the ceremony. That had Naruto smiling and Itachi scowling further.
Itachi stayed to himself for most of the celebration, opting to stand in the same spot that he was when he first came in. He knew Naruto would try to find him and he did a few seconds later.
"You bastard I've been looking for you for the whole night. Where the hell were you!" Naruto said, a frown placed deeply on his face.
Shrugging slightly, Itachi pushed himself off of the wall. "You of all people should know that I don't do these types of things."
"Yeah, you were always unsociable." Naruto smirked, looking closely at his friend but the smirk soon faded. "Uhm…about this whole leader and marriage thing-"
"I don't want to hear it Uzumaki."
"But you and I both know that you should have gotten it."
"Yeah, I should of." He smirked, placing a strand of his long hair behind his ear.
"You bastard!" Naruto advanced towards him but stopped when Itachi placed a hand on his shoulder.
"You deserved it Uzumaki. It was only fair since you've been with the organization since you were six. I'm still just an outsider."
Smiling slightly, Naruto rubbed at the back of his neck, "Thanks."
"Did it hurt?"
Naruto knew exactly what he was talking about. "Like a bitch! They had like five guys hold me down because I was thrashing around so much! They fucking heated a knife then dug it across my face! I could have handled one mark but they had to do three times on both sides of my face." He shivered just thinking about the pain.
"You're such a pansy."
"I would like to see you not flail around when a heated knife is on your skin!"
"Hn."
"Anyway, I just wanted to see if you were okay about everything. I don't want our friendship to end over something as trivial as this."
"It's not trivial and it wouldn't end our friendship. Someone's got to keep the new leader in check." He said nudging the blonde's shoulder.
Smiling slightly, Naruto placed a hand on his shoulder, squeezing it gently, "Well, you better not screw up in protecting me. We wouldn't want something bad to happen."
"Of course we wouldn't."
Smiling one more time, Naruto walked away leaving Itachi to himself. The raven leaned back against the wall and dug his hands in his pockets.
"I would never want anything bad to happen, Naruto." Itachi grinned manically, looking over to another person that was just a few feet away.
The man grinned as well, knowing what his newly found master was about to do.
Madara excused himself from his daughter's side to go to the bathroom. After he finished his business in the cubicle, he went up to the marbleized sink to wash his hands. But before he could run his hands underneath the water, someone sneaked up from behind him and held their arms around his neck immobilizing him.
"What the!" Before he could struggle further, a white cloth was pressed over his nose knocking him out cold.
Moments laterr, Madara was harshly thrown on concrete pavement outside of the banquet hall. He came awake with a start when a strongly smelled liquid was thrown on his body.
Wiping over his burning eyes, Madara looked up from the ground. His eyes widened. "Y-you! What's the meaning of this!" He snarled picking himself up from the ground, only to get knocked back down.
"Keep quiet." The guy said, "There's someone who wants to talk to you."
"Wants to talk with me? Who is it?"
"Madara-san. What a sight to see you on the ground. The only thing you need to do now is bow at my feet."
"You too?" A sharp kick was delivered to the side of his face.
"I'll be the one talking." The guy hissed, as he took a puff from his cigarette.
Madara wiped at the blood that was starting to slide from the corner of his mouth.
"That's more like it." Breathing out the toxic air, the guy stepped closer to his knelt body. "You guys made a big mistake not letting me have that position. Everyone knew that I would have been a better leader then him." He took another puff from the cigarette.
"It was just as Tsunade said. Too many innocent people were dying on your watch. Innocent people that-" Madara was kicked again, he groaned in pain.
"I was just helping the organization out. And what would you know? You have the Akatsuki!" The guy kicked him again, this time in his stomach, "But all that will change tonight my friend because you'll be just another innocent victim that I took down." He said with his eyes narrowed hard.
"What?" Madara stammered out, a little nervous.
"You're dead."
Pulling out a lighter from his jacket, the guy lit it and threw it at Madara. The mafia king immediately burst into flames. Ignoring his cries of pain, the guy turned away.
"Sasori. Let's go."
"Of course, Itachi-sama."
Alyssa cries of sadness vibrated through the room as she held onto Naruto for dear life. Five minutes ago, she was notified of her father's charred body just outside of the banquet hall. She placed her head in the crook of Naruto's neck, breathing in his scent, trying to calm herself down.
Naruto slowly rubbed at her back, "I don't understand how this happened. I thought we had guards surrounding the perimeter of the building." Naruto spoke as he looked down at his wife.
"Ten of the Akatsuki's most skilled men were watching over the area but it seems that they have disappeared."
"Disappeared?" Naruto asked, with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah, they were nowhere to be found. Not even their bodies. If they were killed, we do not know as of yet."
"An assassination. That would be the most logical reason." Naruto nodded, his eyebrows furrowed.
"B-but my f-f-father was respected by many," Alyssa choked out, tears still streaming down her face, "Who could h-have possibly had a vendetta against him?"
"That's what I'm going to find out." Naruto stood up, Alyssa still clinging on to him, "Itachi."
"Hn." The raven answered back emotionless.
"Can you do me a favor and watch her while I go get some things straightened out?"
Itachi gave a genuine smile, "I would be happy to."
After murmuring a couple of words to his wife, Alyssa slowly walked over to Itachi. She gave a watery smile.
"Excuse my behavior Itachi-san." She bowed slightly, "It's not very lady-like to show this much weakness in a time l-" A tight embrace caught her off guard.
"Cry all you want to." Itachi whispered in her ear, "I'll be your support."
Alyssa wrapped her arms around Itachi's back and cried once again.
Naruto smiled softly at the scene in front of him. What a good friend Itachi was. He could always count on him for anything. If only he could have more men that were just as loyal to him like Itachi was. And then the light bulb clicked.
"Miles." Naruto called out, to one of the many people in the room.
"Yes."
"I need you to gather up five men for me. Send them to me once you have done so."
"Of course."
"This is so troublesome."
"Why?"
"Because, I could be sleeping right now."
"And I could be drawing. Well, there goes my schedule."
"Stop complaining. This must be important since we were summoned so quickly."
"Well, they better hurry up. I need to get back home to Akamaru. He's probably crying since he's by himself."
"He's a dog. How is he crying?"
"You haven't seen a dog cry? What have you been doing with your life?"
"That's just sad."
"Run that by me again."
"So…so….troublesome."
"You got one more time to say that word!"
Someone cleared their throat making all of them look in front. Naruto walked further in the room and took a seat in front of them.
"I've heard a lot about you guys." Naruto said, looking over their faces, analyzing them.
"I hope it's nothing bad."
"Of course not Kiba."
"How do you know my name?" Kiba asked, with a raised eyebrow.
"I know all of you. You guys are a well-known group of assassins that always gets the job done quickly and affiently."
"We are, aren't we." Kiba said smugly.
"Why have you called us?" A red-headed boy spoke.
"I want you guys to join me. Be my right hand men."
"And what if we agree? What would we gain from it?" A feminine voice said, smoothing out his dress.
"Well Haku, you guys would be part of the most well-known and respected Organization. Also, all of your background records will be cleared of all unwanted charges that have accumulated since you guys started doing your buisness."
"Basically we won't be considered wanted men. We won't have to move to different cities to mask our appearance."
"Correct."
"What's the catch?"
"That you just join me and help get rid of unwanted garbage. I need more eyes since I just came into power."
"It might me troublesome….but okay."
"I'm in, as long as you're not afraid of dogs."
"As long as I have my sketchbook, I'll be glad to join you."
"I have no choice since the other three agreed."
"This'll be fun."
"Excellent. You guys will now be known as the Heavenly Kings. I have another person that will be joining you guys as well. You will all address me as Kyuubi-sama until I feel that you guys have my full trust. I hate traitors, so don't give me a reason to suspect that you are one." His eyes narrowed slightly, a slight tint of crimson forming in them.
The red head smirked, "I'm starting to like you already."
One Year Later
A seventeen year old Naruto stood, with his face plastered against a clear window, and stared at the many different infants in the nursery. He wanted so bad to walk into the room to hold his child but he couldn't. One, the space was already sterile and couldn't handle his sweaty and dirty body. And two, he didn't know which one of them was his. He rubbed his fingertips against the glass, smearing it with his fingerprints.
"You like a kid in a candy store Naruto." A voice called out to him, with a chuckle.
"Shut your mouth Itachi! You would do the same thing if you were in my shoes!"
"Yea, if I were in your shoes." Itachi smirked, finding pleasure messing with his friend.
"Itachi!" Naruto started to advance on him but a hand on his chest stopped him.
"Stop being so troublesome Kyuubi-sama. This is a hospital that we're in. We don't want to be thrown out on a special day like this."
Glaring one last time, Naruto went back against the window, placing his forehead on the glass, "He started it, Shikamaru." He mumbled.
"You guys are crazy!"
"We're crazy?" Gaara spoke, his face emotionless, "You're the one who has a dog with you in the hospital Kiba."
"He's not a dog Gaara, his name is Akamaru and he's my partner in crime. I never go anywhere without him." Kiba smiled and rubbed at Akamaru's ear. The canine wagged his tail happily back and forth.
"That's sad." Gaara muttered, walking over to Naruto and standing beside him.
"Run that by me again?" Kiba growled.
"Does anybody ever listen to me?" Shikamaru sighed, shaking his head slightly.
"They don't because you never take anything seriously."
"Whatever Haku." Shikamaru walked over towards Gaara and Naruto and looked through the glass. "Kyuubi-sama, which one is yours?"
"I have no clue. Alyssa couldn't wait just one more hour until I got here. I haven't seen her yet as well." Naruto said, his blue eyes looking over the many different faces of the babies.
"So she was supposed to wait for you while she was in labor?" Itachi asked, his eyebrow raised slightly.
"Of course she was supposed to wait." Naruto nodded.
"I feel sorry for her."
Naruto placed his hand on the gun that was hidden underneath his shirt, seated in his hostler, "You got one more time to open your mouth Itachi, one more time." Naruto growled.
Itachi held his hands up in front of him, "Take it easy." He said even though he had a smirk spread wildly across his face.
"Bastard."
A second later a petite nurse walked out of the room and looked over the seven people in the hall.
"Uzumaki Naruto?"
"That's me." Naruto immediately said, walking up to her.
"Congratulations. It's a boy."
"A boy?"
"Yes." The nurse smiled, "You'll be able to hold him soon. We just have a couple of more tests to run to make sure he's okay. Oh, and your wife Alyssa is doing fine to. You'll be able to see her soon as well."
"Thank you." The blonde gave a big smile, "Since I can't hold him yet, do you mind showing me which one he is through the window."
"Of course."
Walking back into the room, the lady walked to the bassinet that was in the front and gently picked the child up. She walked up to the glass and put the baby in Naruto's eye sight. Naruto's grin widened.
"Chikao." He whispered, his grin wide.
Tearing his eyes away from the child in front of him, Gaara quickly scanned the area. Even though they were in a hospital, Gaara couldn't help but be alert. That was one of the jobs Naruto had given to him when he was allowed into his inner circle. Everything was clear. Nodding slightly, the red head focused back on the baby that was in front of him. But something didn't feel right. It was like a bad aura lingering around all of them. Looking from the corner of his eyes, he immediately looked at Itachi. The raven was glaring. Glaring hard, hatefully at something. But what? Gaara followed his gaze and it landed on Naruto's child. Why was he looking at his son?
A second later, those dark eyes met his. They were back to its emotionless state. Itachi gave him a small smile then looked away. Gaara looked back into the room as well, reminding himself to watch Itachi more closely from now on.
3 years later
"Itachi I just wanted to let you know that we're about-" Naruto stopped dead in his tracks, his hand still on the door handle, and stared with wide eyes at the scene in front of him.
"Naruto." Itachi growled, "Get your son away from me."
Naruto's bottom lip started to quiver, his eyes started to water, and soon he was laughing. Laughing hard. He held onto his stomach and bent over slightly as the tremors flew through his body.
"I like the new look Itachi." Naruto spoke through his laughing fit. "I should get Chikao to do your hair more often."
Itachi was seated on the edge of his bed with a small Chikao standing behind him on the mattress. The toddler was twisting his hair into many different sizes of braids. Blue and pink ribbons were secured at the end of it as well as one big blue bow that was at the top of his head.
Itachi's eyes narrowed dangerously, "Naruto." He warned again. "Get this demon away from me."
The blonde wiped at the corner of his eyes, "But you look so cute Itachi-jisan." He laughed again, more calmly this time.
"Hn." Itachi stood up and proceeded to pull out the ribbons. A low whine came from behind him. He knew who it was.
"Tachi' no wike hair?" Chikao said as two big tear drops fell from his eyes.
"No I don't." He said unaffected by the three year olds sudden tears. "Besides, you're a boy. You shouldn't be doing people's hair in the first place."
Chikao opened his mouth and cried harder. Still, Itachi was not affected. He pulled at the final ribbon that was in his hair and threw it on the ground.
"Papa!"
Sighing loudly, Naruto walked over to his son and picked him up, rubbing at his back soothingly.
"Itachi-jisan didn't mean that. He's just being his normal mean self." Naruto murmured in his ear, even though he thought the same thing as Itachi did.
"Mommy said I pway with hair too. She said okay papa." He buried his face deep into the crook of Naruto's neck.
"Well I'm going to have to have a talk with your mother then."
After a couple of more minutes of calming down his three year old look-alike, he sent him to his mother and joined Itachi again.
"Are you sure you're not up for it tonight?" Naruto asked.
"You and the other four should suffice. It's just a simple scouting mission anyway. The less men that go with you the better. We're always together anyway."
"Yea, I am tired of seeing your face all the time bastard." Naruto smirked.
"Don't worry. This'll be the last time we see each other anyway." He smirked back, an evil glint appearing in his dark eyes.
"Last time we see each other? What the hell are you talking about?"
"Meaning that you'll most likely do something real stupid and end up getting yourself killed. You are a klutz anyway."
"Whatever bastard." Naruto mumbled. He walked over towards the bedroom door, "We'll be back soon."
Once Itachi nodded, Naruto walked out and closed the door softly behind.
Itachi pulled out a slim cell phone and quickly dialed a number. In an instant someone picked up on the other side.
"Yes boss."
"Commence the preparations."
"Understood."
They both hung up at the same time. Itachi remained seated for a while. This was the day he was waiting for. What he's been planning for months. The demise of the Kitsune Organization and the death of Naruto. This would have been all avoided if they would have just given him what he wanted. But they would learn the hard way.
Flipping a strand of hair out of his face, Itachi left his courters and made his way down towards Alyssa and Naruto's room.
Alyssa had just put Chikao to sleep when Itachi walked into the room. The raven stood off towards the side and watched her keenly.
"Is everything alright Itachi-san?" She asked, while placing a blanket over her son.
Itachi didn't answer. He just stared at her. Alyssa twiddled with her hair in a gesture that meant she was uncomfortable.
"Itachi?"
Very slowly, Itachi pulled out a gun and aimed it at her. On instinct, she went to her son's side and hovered over him.
"What are you doing?" She whispered.
"Naruto was right you know." He said calmly, the gun still aimed at her. "I was in denial." Itachi clicked off the safety and fired.
Naruto stared in awe as he watched the fire break loose on his mansion. Even though it was only on one part of the house, it was starting to spread quickly. Naruto wanted to move but his legs wouldn't let him. Who could have done this?
"Boss."
The blonde snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Gaara, "Yea."
"Orders?"
"Scout for survivors. Kill anyone that's not supposed to be in there. And if it gets too dangerous, get out of there."
After the five made sure they had enough ammunition, they took off into the mansion.
Shaking off his uneasiness, he secured his own pistol in his hand and followed after the rest.
Itachi picked himself up off of the floor, rubbing over his face. He didn't know Alyssa had it in her to actually fight back. She moved out of the way of the bullet, threw herself at him, and dug her nails into his face. She was able to grab Chikao and run out of the room when he was on the ground. Growling deep in his throat, Itachi picked himself off of the ground with the help of the wall. Blood started to seep down onto his chin from the scratch marks that were on his cheeks.
"Itachi."
The raven looked over his shoulder with narrowed eyes. He came sooner than he expected. This was not going as planned.
"Itachi, are you alright?" Naruto asked.
"I'm fine."
Naruto sighed in relief. "That's good to know. But we got to get out of here. I think there's some type of poisonous gas lingering in the air. People are started to drop like flies."
"I'll have to thank Sasori for going through with his plan." Itachi thought to himself. Out loud he said. "Then we must leave."
Naruto shook his head, "I'm not leaving until I know for sure that Alyssa and Chikao are out of the house."
"They are."
"What?"
"I had came in here to get them but I got ambushed by two other guys. She wanted to help but I told her I was fine and to get out of the house." He lied.
"Good. Well lets go look for them outside. I already have Gaara and the rest of them securing the house."
Itachi smirked to himself, "Yes. Let's go and find them."
Several minutes went by and finally Naruto and Itachi were successfully out of the house. Naruto frantically scanned the area, looking for his family.
"Itachi are you sure that they ran ou-" Naruto stumbled forward, a tanned hand quickly holding his shoulder. A red liquid instantly started to pour out of his shoulder. His eyes went wide. Did….did Itachi just shoot him?
Naruto turned around and looked at his best friend, eyes still wide in shock, "Itachi? What are you doing?"
"What I've always wanted to do." The raven spoke, with the gun still aimed, "You've taken too many things away from me Uzumaki. Things that I rightfully should have got."
"Itachi wai-wait I –mean I don't u-u-unders-." He tried to speak, but it was hard. He was never in this type of situation before. He didn't know what to do. Was Itachi planning on killing him?
"You don't deserve her or the title." He cocked the gun back, pushing the trigger. Naruto wanted to move but his legs wouldn't let him. The only choice he had was to stay-
"Naruto! Move! Get out of the way!"
Before the blonde could even blink, Alyssa jumped out in front of him. Her body jerked against Naruto's chest, before it slinked down onto the ground.
"Naruto." She whispered weakly, grasping onto the bottom of his pants.
The blonde looked down at her, and then looked at Itachi. The raven's eyes were wide but soon they closed. Placing his gun back into his holster, Itachi raised his head a little and gave a little smile, "Suffer. Suffer the way I did." He put his back to them and started to walk away.
"I'll keep in touch Naruto." He called over his shoulder, waving his hand in the air.
Cursing to himself, Naruto quickly knelt down and placed her head on his lap. Azure colored eyes roamed over her body until he found what he was looking for. The bullet hole. It was in her chest. Right next to her heart.
"Naruto," She whispered, blood spilling out of her mouth, "Are you alright?"
"Stop talking." Naruto's voice wavered, hands visibly shaking, "Don't waste your energy. Let me just go and get-"
A cold hand touched his arm, "It's al-al-alright….I'm f-fine with results…." More blood spilled out of her mouth, her lips starting to turn blue.
"No don't you say that!" Naruto hunched over and covered her face with his body. "Don't you dare say that!"
After giving a weak smile, her body stilled completely. Naruto leaned back up and stared at her face. He didn't want to believe what he was looking at. He wanted to see her smile again, laugh again, say-
"Papa?"
Naruto looked to his right at Chikao, who was standing beside a tree. The toddler was holding onto it tightly, big blue eyes looking at his father and now dead mother. When his father didn't respond, he ran up to him.
"Papa? What wrong Mommy?" Naruto just stared at him with emotionless eyes.
Chikao looked down at Alyssa and shook her shoulder, "Wake mommy! Wake! Papa no talk so you talk!" Tears started to fall from his eyes, "Please. Wake Up." He whispered, just before Naruto grabbed him and pulled him into his chest.
Naruto watched as Haku checked over Chikao for any bruises on his body. After administering the proper medical treatment to the toddler, Haku gave him some medicine to put him to sleep. He needed it. After seeing his mother dead in front of him, Chikao cried for thirty minutes straight until Gaara and the others got to them. But they arrived too late. Alyssa was dead and Itachi, as well as his men, were nowhere to be found. Naruto had to stay strong in the eyes of the Kitsune Organization. He didn't want Tsunade and the others to think that he was weak and would have a mental break down because of Alyssa's death. So, he pushed back his emotions and focused on his job and his son.
"I did the best I could do to help with his cough but whatever gas that was lingering around in the air in the house has already damaged his lungs. It might clear up or it might not. We can only hope for the best." Haku stated, snapping Naruto out of his thoughts.
Naruto nodded. "Thank you Haku."
"Not a problem Kyuubi-sama."
"There's no need for you to call me by that name anymore." He smiled a little." You guys proved to me that I can trust you. Especially last night." He said looking over the faces of the five Heavenly Kings.
Naruto stood up from his chair, "Call me Naruto."
"Don't do anything stupid." Gaara warned leaning against a tree as he eyed Naruto hard. He didn't agree to what Naruto was about to do. But he couldn't stop him. Naruto was just too stubborn.
"I won't. I'll be back in about twenty minutes. If I'm not, come and get me."
"Sure."
Squeezing out between two bushes, Naruto made his way to the church where Itachi's dead body was supposed to be at. He immediatley reconized some members of the Akatsuki but they didn't reconize him. The blonde was wearing a black wig to cover up his bright blonde hair, black contact lins, and just like everyone else, black attire. Haku put make-up on his face to cover up his whisker marks. They were a sign of his status to the Kitsune Organization and it would have been bad for anyone to see him. He made it in easily inside and opted to stand in the back just incase he was spotted. To those who wanted too, they were allowed to come up and view the bodys. It was a huge risk to take but Naruto decided to take it. He had to confirm that Itachi was really dead.
Skipping over his parents lifeless body's, Naruto walked over to Itachi's and stood in front of it. Even though his face was lifeless, he looked peaceful. His hair was neatly combed, his clothes finely pressed, and his hands interlocked on his stomach. The blonde eyed his chest to check for movement but when he didn't find any, he walked away shrugging his shoulders.
It was confirmed. Uchiha Itachi was dead. Naruto was a couple of steps away from Itachi's casket's when someone's sobb's filled his ears. He looked to his right and spotted a teenaged boy seated beside a girl with two buns on her head. She was cradling the boy tightly, trying to calm down his tremors. But it was no use. The boy continued to weep. Tears poured out of his eyes, his face was flushed red, sobs spilled out of his mouth. He chanted over and over 'Why did you guys leave me?' Naruto's heart constricted together. It was Itachi's little broghter...Sasuke? If he remembered correctly. He remembered at times he seen the two Uchiha brothers walking down the street with ice cream in their hands. Both had small smiles on their faces.
Not wanting to see his cries of grief any longer, Naruto walked out of the church and back over to Gaara.
Rubbing over his face, Naruto leaned up from the wall and to make his way to Chikao's room. The toddler had desperately wanted to see his friend 'Saucey' but Naruto forbid him to do it at that time since the raven was still unconcious. Chikao cried tears of sadness for 45 minutes straight. Naruto's nerves were already bad from earlier so he told Haku to give him some medicine to put him to sleep. He felt bad afterwards for druggin him up but it had to be done for his rising headache. There was a little bit of poison in his system that was making him ache.
Sighing, Naruto walked away from his room and down the hall.
The sound of someone screaming woke Sasuke up from his slumber. Rubbing at his sore eyes, he slowly sat up and looked around the room. It was pitch black. Did that mean it was night time? His eyes quickly adjusted to the darkness so he got out of the king-sized bed and made his way to the door. His body was still sore so he could only make small steps. Finally after five minutes, he was successfully out of the room and into the hallway.
The scream came again, this time a little louder followed by a string of colorful words. That voice sounded familiar. Very familiar. With his heart beating rapidly in his chest, he wobbled his way down the hall to follow the voice.
"Get away from me! Don't touch me!" The person yelled.
Sasuke's eyes widened as he opened the door and peaked inside. The next thing he knew he was being tackled to the ground, a heavy weight on his midsection.
"Uchiha!" TenTen cried out, hugging him tightly. "I was kidnapped just like you!"
What the hell was she doing here?
Alright! Naruto's past is complete! For now! I think? lol Things are going to start picking up in the next chapter. Espeacially since TenTen is back. (smiles evilly) Nooooo...nothing bad is going to happen (dot dot dot) Even though I start school again on monday, I won't let that hold me back on typing. I've been really lazy these past couple of months. (sighs) Let's hope the next chapter won't take so long.
Important Note: For those of you who read my other story, don't worry. I've already begun to type the next chapter. I already have 200 words! lol I get off early from work this weekened so I'll finally have time to type.
Thank You to the people who have responded to my poll! I'm still going to leave it up though. Some of you guy's guesses are correct and some are wrong. Hmm? I wonder which one is right? lol
Review Please and Thank You!
