I don't own Naruto and characters etc.

I do own this story so please don't copy it exactly, but you're welcome to as many of my ideas as you like.

With the greatly apreciated permission of BlackElement7, CrimsonSakuratree I begin writing what I hope will be an amazing Story! (Check out their stories (my inspiration): Not Weak!, Untold Secrets).

Warning: This'll be my first story when i use Sakura's inner... so beware of my inability!


Chapter 3 -

Itachi walked into the Akatsuki base wearing a mesh shirt and ninja pants, carrying his cloak and ring.

He walked straight past every room including his own and stopped at the kitchen.

Walking in, he found everone sitting up at the table and eating.

Everyone, including Leader.

They all paused and turned to him.

When he looked up and glanced briefly at each of them before lingering on Leader, they saw something that none of them ever had.

They saw for the first time in their lives, Itachi's real eyes.

They were a deep onyx, captivating and emotional.

'So that's why he always where sharingan, or everyone'd be able to read him like a book...' A few them seemed to ponder.

"What is it?" Kisame asked, arching an blue eye brow.

"I'm leaving Akatsuki" He said asertively.

There were a few silent minutes spent, letting the news sink in.

"Why?" Everyone turned to leader at his question.

"Because I don't belong here, I don't want to fight anymore."

"And where are you going when you leave?" Deidara asked.

"Konoha."

"You're going home after all these years?" Sasori looked at him confused.

"No, I'm going to stay with and train a young kunoichi there."

"What so special about her." Leader asked.

"You knew I couldn't stay here forever. I'm lonely here. You guys are my friends but I-"

"Itachi's in looooove!" Tobi sang loudly.

They all seemed to look back and forth between the two before asking Itachi with silent gazes.

"I-I don't know... But I can't just hang here with you guys for the rest of my life."

"And what, you think Hokage Tsunade's just gonna let you come back?" Leader asked suspiciously.

"I will become a leaf shinobi and train the girl too."

"But what if you're on a mission to fight us!?" Kisame seemed fairly distressed.

"I won't be, as part of my deal I'll agree with Tsunade that I won't take any missions involving the Akatsuki."

They all seemed to absorb the revelation fairly slowly.

They all slowly offered Leader the chance to decide the final juring of the situation.

"You may go."

A wave of relief passed over everyone present.

With that, the cloak and ring were placed on the table and Itachi departed.

'Is it possible I'll miss it here...?' He thought flying down the corridor and toward Sakura.
