Hey everyone. Thanks for the reviews from chapter one. I would like to thank Grim_Neji64 for giving me a list of honorifics and correct prefixes for jutsus. I'm debating on whether or not to use honorifics. Anyway, on to the story! Chapter Revised!

Hidden Leaf Village (Main Gate)

Itachi was waiting patiently for Naruto to arrive. He was re-examining his ninja tools, his shuriken in particular. *I wonder what area he excels in.* Itachi thought as he put away his shuriken and looked up at the clouds. *If he excels in ninjutsu, then I should have no problem training him. But what if he is good at taijutsu or finds himself fascinated with weapons such as pole arms or tonfas? I can't train him very well to use those weapons.* Itachi shook off the thought and leaned against the wall near the gate.

He could still hear the Third Hokage's voice in his head, telling him the plan. He barely made it out of the Uchiha compound in time. He had almost been caught by the jounin, Kakashi, on his way back. Itachi sighed. "I guess it was all luck after all." Itachi was more nervous than he felt like he should be. He had never trained anyone before. He was taught to keep his emotions in check by yhe ANBU. It was one of their main rules. *Emotions will get you killed before they help you.* Itachi sneered. "Emotions didn't hurt me last night…"

He stopped as an image flashed through his head. It was his younger brother, Sasuke, crying in front of him. Itachi pushed the image aside and brought his feelings back under his control. "I'm sorry, little brother."

Hidden Leaf Village (Naruto's Apartment)

Naruto was running around his apartment making sure that he had everything. "Ok, I have clothes and food, so what else do I need?" Naruto looked around and scratched his head. "Aw man, how am I supposed to train? I don't have any weapons. I don't know any jutsu. And worst of all I'm not even a genin!" Naruto ran all around his apartment trying to figure what else to bring.

"I'm so lost! I'm leaving the village today with a guy I don't know and the only thing I do know about him is that he killed his entire clan." Naruto stopped dead in his tracks. "He killed his entire clan…how do I know that he won't kill me too?" Naruto shook the thought out of his head. "There's no way the old man Hokage would put me in danger right?" Naruto laughed nervously. He stopped arguing with himself and decided that the best thing to do was to meet up with Itachi and ask him what he should bring. He grabbed his bag, left his apartment and locked the door.

Hidden Leaf Village (Main Gate)

Itachi heard footsteps and turned his attention to the road. He saw Naruto running in his direction. *Looks like he is ready to go.* Naruto skidded to a halt in front of Itachi. "Hey Itachi, I think I'm ready to go now." Itachi looked at the bag that Naruto was carrying. "What is that Naruto?" Naruto looked confused and said, "These are my clothes and provisions that I'm taking with me." Itachi shook his head. "Naruto, leave the bag. This isn't a vacation you know." Naruto looked worried and said, "What do you mean?" Itachi sighed. "We don't need food and we only need two sets of clothes including what we are wearing. Trust me, extra weight will just slow us down."

Naruto sighed and took off his backpack. He emptied the contents except for a pair of clothes and put the pack over his shoulders. "Alright, let's go Naruto." Itachi turned toward the main gate. Naruto turned to look at the village. He frowned as he turned back towards Itachi. Naruto followed him out of the village, leaving his home behind.

Wilderness near Hidden Leaf Village

"Itachi, where are we going exactly?" Naruto asked as they walked along the road. Itachi took his time coming up with an answer. "We are going to a place where we can hide and train in secret." Naruto looked at him curiously and said, "Where is that?" Itachi opened his mouth to answer but suddenly jumped to the side to dodge a kunai that was thrown at him. "Naruto, hide!"

Naruto obeyed and hid himself in a small bush. A female ninja appeared on a tree branch a few yards away. She had long purple hair and was wearing ANBU attire with a ceramic mask over her face. "Come on out Itachi. We know that you are here."

Itachi came out from hiding behind a tree trunk and looked up at the ANBU ninja. "Ah, there you are Itachi." Said the female ANBU. Itachi looked at her without emotion and said, "What do you want Yugao?" Yugao kneeled and bowed her head and said, "By order of the hokage, we are to eliminate you, Itachi Uchiha, rogue ninja of the Village Hidden in the Leaves."

Itachi stared her down. "You are?" He looked around casually, inspecting the trees. "So where is your partner?" Just then, a ninja put a kunai up to Itachi's throat. He was a tall ninja who also wore ANBU attire and a ceramic mask. Naruto's eye's widened. He had a more muscular build than Itachi and had short black hair. Itachi seemed to have no reaction and just glanced over at the ninja. *So he was waiting for me to reveal myself so he would a have an opportunity?* The male ANBU member said, "You should know better than to let your guard down Itachi, especially when in the midst of the enemy."

Itachi smirked and disappeared in a puff of smoke. The male ANBU gasped and said, "Where the hell did he go?" Itachi appeared a few yards behind them. "Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!" A huge flame erupted from Itachi's mouth and formed a massive fireball which was about the size of Itachi in diameter. The flame shot forth and engulfed several trees in a fiery inferno. Yugao jumped from the tree to dodge, but her partner was not as quick to react. Once the fire died down, the male ANBU was revealed to be a crisped corpse.

Yugao ran at Itachi."Ninja Art: Leaf Blade Illusion!" Two replicas of Yugao phased into existence on either side of her as she pulled out her sword. "Sharingan," muttered Itachi as three tomoe appeared in his red irises. Itachi could now clearly see Yugao's movements and he brought his right arm up to block the attack. All three Yugao jumped into the air and brought each of their blades down at a different angle and speed to ensure that they hit Itachi. Itachi timed the hits and right as the first sword landed on his arm he said, "Fire Style: Clone Explosion!" Itachi's body exploded with great force that sent the real Yugao flying and dissipated the two fake ones.

Naruto watched in awe seeing Itachi defeat both ANBU members with no trouble at all. Itachi appeared behind Naruto. "Let's go Naruto, hurry. We need to reach the hideout before they send more ninja." Naruto nodded his head to agree with Itachi. Itachi led the way as Naruto stared at him with huge eyes. *I can't wait to become a powerful ninja like Itachi….sensei.*

Naruto followed Itachi as they ran. He had no idea where they were going. Naruto had never been outside the village before. In fact, he had never been allowed to go outside the village. The Third Hokage was pretty strict about that. Naruto sighed as he remembered the village. A part of him wanted to go back, but he knew that once he chose to go with Itachi, there was no turning back.

Naruto sighed and forced himself to smile. *At least I will be trained by a strong ninja. Itachi-sensei took care of those two ninja back there so easily!* Naruto smiled for real as he looked at Itachi. "Itachi, sir, how much farther? I'm getting tired." Itachi shook his head. *This might be more work than I thought.*
