Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto

Enjoy!


When Kakashi called Kurama about Naruto possibly being kidnapped by his boyfriend, Kurama snickered.

The brat deserved it.

Why the hell should he come to his rescue when Naruto all but tried to cut off ties with them? And why pray tell did Naruto let himself fucking get captured by the group that's been all hell bent on destroying Bijuu that Kurama's currently leading without his idiotic brother? Kurama can't help but think the brat did it on purpose, like this was all a very elaborate painful revengeful prank on Kurama's life because he knows that he himself has been a bully to his little bro. It was his own unique way of tormenting-loving Naruto so he wouldn't grow up spoiled because his adoptive father and mother doted on Naruto so freaking much.

Kurama scratched his head with a very irritated expression on his face.

Namikaze Kurama, adopted son of Namikaze Minato and Kushina looks like your regular gang leader. Orange hair with a few black streaks, a few piercings, handsome, but his vibe gives off dangerous and he might as well be because he wields guns and knives expertly and currently he's leading the Bijuu on his own mind you.

That's why this piece of information is a big freaking pain the ass.

Akatsuki's been trying to assassinate important connections, cut off routes, supplies and most of all hack into Bijuu's information network. The nerve of that brat to let himself get kidnapped. IF this is your revenge Naru-chan on your poor onii-chan you're going to see how much onii-chan LOVES you, you're going to experience HELL little bro.

"So you're saying Naruto was kidnapped? Are we talking about the same fucking brat here? Because that doesn't sound like my little brother at all I know he's clumsy and an idiot but he's strong enough, competent enough to defend himself, it was I who trained him after all. I made fucking sure the Akatsuki wouldn't be able to track him, I changed his last name to his mom's maiden name and whatnot."

Kurama glared at the silver-haired cop sitting beside of him. The moment Kurama answered Kakashi's call he decided that this conversation should be held somewhere more private, so they met up in one of the Bijuu's hidden quarters, Konoha's farms. Who would expect that a simple village farm is in fact one of the places where Bijuu runs its businesses. They were sitting beside a river bank with nothing but the crickets for company. To outside viewers it would've looked like two broke persons with no house to go home to.

"I'm sure it was the Akatsuki."

Kakashi stated with no doubt which made Kurama want to kill somebody.

"I have no doubt Naruto could defend himself, he was your partner leading the Bijuu and Bijuu's security is almost impregnable to breach. But I knew something's fishy here. After I called you I went to examine the scene myself and looked into some things. It was obviously the work of Team Taka but it was not the only thing that drew my attention. According to the transactions recorded their last client withdrew a total of 5 million yen from Hokage Bank for months, each withdrawal never goes down 5 hundred thousand, if that isn't suspicious enough, security wasn't up to its usual standards. If I'm right.."

Kakashi's eyes narrowed.

"Someone lead the Akatsuki to Naruto."

Kurama was silenced. That makes sense. If there was a third party into all of this then it could complicate things, the Bijuu's already having problems with the Akatsuki but if there is some unknown player messing with two powerful groups with some unknown motive then all of the problems they're facing right now would be child's play and things would get fucking worse. Kurama groaned. Fucking Perfect.

Kurama would rather eat shit than admit but if there was someone he would like to have in the Bijuu it would be Kakashi. But it would seem like Kakashi was only helping them because of Naruto and his promise to their dead father and mother. Kakashi's smart and if he concludes something he gets it right always, Kurama can only count once where Kakashi's suspicions was wrong and he's hoping this was the second time.

"Well shit."

Naruto might be a brat but he's Kurama's little brat. Kurama would never ever admit to anyone but himself but if there was one person he cared about more than anything it would be his brother. Even if Minato and Kushina adopted him they only did so because Kurama was orphaned because of them. They had accidentally killed a criminal during a crossfire leaving the criminal's kid alive. They kept him because they felt guilty, they kept him because they pitied him and Kurama hated them for that. But Naruto was different, at first he hated their brat as much as he hated them but as time went by … he felt an urge to protect that ball of sunshine that didn't judge anyone no matter what they looked like, no matter what their backgrounds were, no matter how different their personalities are.

BUT the brat still has to suffer.

Kurama has to deal with some minor problems with the Bijuu first that's becoming a major headache. Kurama needed compensation from all this shit. If Akatsuki have Naruto then that would mean Sasuke has Naruto, and Kurama knows just how possessive assholes Uchihas are, because he has met one already. One week with an Uchiha wouldn't possibly hurt Naruto right?

Kurama grinned.

"Kurama-kun, I was wondering what would happen to Kiba-kun? I found a paper there and its contents were… let's just say that it was probably Kiba-kun's fault why Naruto was captured in the first place."

Kurama smiled sweetly sickening at Kakashi.

"I'm going to congratulate him then."

Kakashi immediately regretted asking, knowing where this was going.

"I suggested the idea in the first place."


"Naruto-kun, take care of Sasuke."

Itachi sounded incredibly serious it's beginning to freak Naruto out. Well he is talking to his boyfriend's intimidating, handsome, genius brother who's currently leading the Akatsuki group. He knows this because the Akatsuki's currently seeking an alliance with the Bijuu, Naruto and Kurama were needed in the meeting involving the discussion between two groups. Itachi didn't look so surprised to find Naruto at the other end of the table when the meeting began, it was intense, a battle of intimidation between two powerhouses but fortunately no aggressive conflicts arose. Naruto wouldn't know what to do if such a situation did happen.

Suffice to say the meeting went well but there were certain matters that the Bijuu weren't willing to risk that the Akatsuki wanted so as of now both groups decided that it would be best if the two groups would just leave their business inside their own. But a violation of certain conditions might render the neutralism invalid.

"I know that stated one of the conditions of our agreement that we won't interfere with each other's business. Certain situations have been arising revolving around the Akatsuki and it could bring futures that are …unfavourable, I'm asking you Naruto-kun not as another group's leader but as your boyfriend's elder brother, if anything happens make sure Sasuke wouldn't get involved."

Naruto bit his lower lip. He felt incredibly guilty hiding his affiliations to the yakuza from Sasuke, that's why it surprised him greatly when he learned that Itachi's the leader of a rising crime syndicate seeking an audience with the Bijuu. Naruto didn't say anything but it was obvious in his eyes that he was pleading with Itachi to keep this a secret, Itachi understood and didn't tell Sasuke which was a huge relief on his part.

Sasuke knew about the Akatsuki, Uchiha Fugaku and Mikoto made sure of that he was aware with the prestigious Uchiha Clan's history and tradition, but if there was one thing Naruto and Itachi both wanted in common was that Sasuke would never be involved in any of this shit.

Naruto's determined blue sapphires met black onyx.

"I'll do my best. Believe it."

It was one of the promises he couldn't keep.


"Are you FUCKING SHITTING with me brat?! You want to QUIT?!"

Naruto's eyes met with red ones. He was done, done with anything related to yakuza. He has killed, ordered people be killed, watched families break, lives torn apart all because of his own selfish desire to hunt down the people who murdered his mom and dad. Naruto knew that their deaths were planned and most definitely not an accident, he started the Bijuu with that sole purpose. Oh how fucking naïve that was, he was too focused on his own until this happened.

He doesn't who but someone in the Bijuu might have been responsible for Itachi going missing. Someone in his own organization was plotting the Akatsuki's demise and it so happens that Itachi was its leader, his lover's elder brother. There's a traitor, a spy inside the midst of the organization and Naruto didn't want to doubt any of his friends, how could he be so careless? He trusted them and he couldn't think of anyone betraying him but who could have probably done this? Naruto didn't want to think about it.

It's slowly breaking Sasuke apart. Naruto could see Sasuke's worry for his brother, he's seen Sasuke sacrifice his sleeping hours just to search for Itachi, Sasuke's paler, thinner, and signs of stress were beginning to appear, Sasuke's already putting his own health at risk. Naruto felt incredibly guilty because he might as well caused Sasuke's pain and heartache because he didn't have enough control of his subordinates.

"I'm sorry Kurama nii-san, but I have fucking enough of this shit!"

He was leaving it all behind. Maybe start anew. Kurama can do this, he's smarter, stronger, a better leader than Naruto. Naruto has no doubt that Kurama can set the Bijuu to the right direction. Naruto would find a better way to avenge his parents' death, not through the same methods of what those fucktards do. He's only regret leaving the organization is that he's leaving all the friends he's made behind.

"Don't pull off this on me you little shit! You started all of this and dragged me into it! You have NO RIGHT to just push all these responsibilities on me and just fucking leave! We were supposed to be a team THOSE WERE YOUR FUCKING OWN WORDS! If you want to quit that badly then take me along because even I have my own limits!"

Naruto has no excuse, Kurama was right. Still…

"Please."

Naruto managed to prevent his voice from cracking but Kurama can sense it nonetheless. Help him because this was just one of moments he would ever beg at his bully of a brother. It meant something.

"I'm not going to completely cut off ties with any of you, you're all still my family. I'm not giving up hunting the murderers of my parents but I'll do it my own way without involving any of you. I know this is incredibly selfish of me but Sasuke's more important to me and I don't want him involved but if he found out that I'm somehow involved with any yakuza connections and I might have something to do with Itachi's missing status then…"

Naruto gritted his teeth forcing himself not to think about what would happen.

Kurama already knew even if Naruto didn't voice it out. Naruto always always just have to freaking love someone unconditionally, and if somehow he's lost somebody he'd always break and it's fucking hard to pull himself together. The way Naruto looked back then the night his parents died, it haunted Kurama. It was one of the times would rather forget, and absolutely didn't want to happen to Naruto again. All the anger a while ago seemed to disparate. His scary sneer was replaced by an irritated scowl, he raised his hand and ruffled his little brother's hair.

"Fine brat."

Kurama then fisted Naruto's hair and growled.

"BUT IF the Bijuu needs your help Naruto I'm dragging your freaking ass back."

Naruto grinned, already used to his older brother's antics. Naruto held his brother's wrist and twisted it which earned a grunt from Kurama.

"Thanks, onii-chan."

"I'm so going to beat that cheek out of you."


Sasuke got worse.

While it's never confirmed that Itachi's really dead and his corpse hasn't been found yet, the evidence they've found so far implies many different scenarios and none of them were any of good. Naruto and Sasuke were currently inside one of the Uchiha's estates, a few police officers associated with the Uchiha Clan were currently with them.

"Itachi's deemed missing but the area surrounding where he was last seen suggests otherwise."

Sasuke's eyes hardened and glared at the computer that displayed the camera footage where his older brother was last seen. The walls were decorated with stained blood and a few burn marks, there were a few bifurcated limbs scattered in the area but Sasuke didn't care about that he was worried for his brother. His brother sacrificed his own future to take over the Akatsuki so that Sasuke could have a normal childhood away from the yakuza.

"So is he alive?"

"I'm not sure. There's a blood sample found on the scene that belonged to Uchiha Itachi and a few strands of his hair were detected on the bodies' clothes but his body wasn't found. I think that the culprit of this mess tried to burn the evidence given the fresh burnt marks but was unsuccessful. Clever of them that they disabled the camera that shows what actually happened."

Sasuke looked frustrated and Naruto's grip was turning his knuckles white.

"Teme-"

Naruto wasn't able to finish as Sasuke turned, ignored him and slammed the door. Naruto could only sigh in defeat.


"Are you OUTTA of your FREAKING MIND!"

Sasuke stared impassively at Naruto, as if he's been expecting this outburst from the blonde. And Naruto's panicking inside. Things were not supposed to turn out this way, Naruto just DIDN'T want to hear anymore. 'This is not happening! Of all the fucking foolish things you did Sasuke, this would deserve a freaking award!'

"Naruto, if I'm going to find Itachi's killer I need better connections. We tried contacting the police but they're useless. Fortunately the Akatsuki's willing to offer their services and they could provide better."

"Sasuke don't. The yakuza don't offer their services for free! Your family might've been involved with it but that doesn't mean a thing to them. There's always a price and it's highly possible it's something completely illegal."

"I know, Naruto."

'No, you freaking don't, it'll destroy your life. Getting involved with crime isn't what the movies always portray them to be, they're worse in real life.'

Sasuke sighed.

"They want me to take over. They want me to stand where my brother stood."

Fear gripped Naruto's heart. 'please please don't do what I think you're going to do.'

"And I'm planning on paying that price. I've decided to lead the Akatsuki in my brother's place."

His promise to Itachi rang in his head.

'Naruto-kun, take care of Sasuke.'


Naruto groaned in pain. The back of his neck fucking hurt and also his stomach, he fluttered his eyes open and blinked to adjust the blurry vision he has, the first thing he noticed was that he didn't remember ever having a ceiling that high. When did I have a ceiling that high and seriously dark blue? Who would want such a depressing color? Well Sasuke might. Second thing he knew he was lying down on something soft, I don't remember having a bed this comfortable. Naruto tried to sit up but somehow something was preventing him to do so. His hands were shackled and the short chain connected them to the bed's headboard.

Memories then came flooding back into his head and he panicked.

Naruto struggled against his restraints testing their strength but they won't budge. They're real. His clothes are different, instead of the white collared shirt he wore at work it was replaced by a yukata its embroidered designs were incredibly similar to the unique and traditional ones the Uchihas always wore. Oh Hell no. What's worse he can feel that he's not wearing anything underneath it which meant that all his hidden devices and weapons he kept inside his clothes were confiscated.

Shit Shit Shit Shit Shit FUCKING SHIT

"Finally awake Dobe?"

Naruto froze.

He knew that voice, condescending, baritone, deep. Many fucking times he hated hearing it, but there were more times he loved it when it uttered his name. A voice he knew only belonged to a person with a duck's ass hair. The voice that kept haunting him, whispering in his ear every fucking day repeating the words that reminded him of his damned failure.

'I've decided to lead the Akatsuki in my brother's place.'

The voice that belonged to the person he was ready to sacrifice his goals for, the person he longed for. He wanted to see him, but not this way, not when Naruto's not ready for any of this, not when there's a huge chance that this was no longer the bastard he fell in love with, not when this man has changed.

Naruto glared at the person sitting like a king on an arm chair across the room.

"Teme."
