Chapter 15 is updated :) Since i finished writing chapter 17(long chapter) xD
Well anyway enjoy this chapter :)

Previous chapter:
Konoha is in trouble with the Hokage gone. Jiraiya and Sakura talk about Naruto, while Sasuke thinks back on how Naruto had stopped him from leaving Konoha for the second time.
Tsunade and Naruto went further and further from Konoha and closer to the Akatsuki base.

Chapter 15:
The place where I belong

Akatsuki base:

Itachi had seen that Naruto and the Hokage were close and most likely would arrive this evening.
To be honest he was glad the blond was returning. He had actually missed him. Although he would never admit it to anyone, except maybe Naruto.

Naruto had said it was better to leave. To not raise any suspicions, but Itachi wondered what exactly happened that Tsunade was accompanying Naruto.

Itachi looked around his room and stood up, going to let the other members know they were going to get a visit from one of the legendary sannins, Tsunade.

Near the Akatsuki base:
Naruto stopped and looked back. Tsunade had kept up, but she was getting a bit tired, moving so far at this speed. Night had fallen and she feared that in this dark, the ninja's and the ANBU's would stop searching for them.

If that was the case, she was most likely doomed. She looked up at Naruto, wondered why he had stopped.
"We are close. But I guess since you have seen the whole road to here already, it doesn't matter if you see the entrance either." Naruto said.

Tsunade felt like he was saying. You will never get free or leave this place alive.
Tsunade glared. "Just take me to the leader, Naruto. That was the deal."
"Fine, fine. Don't be so impatient. We have come a long way you know." He turned around and released a seal that was hidden on a nearby tree.

Then the ground shake a bit, as it revealed a hidden passage that went underground.
"After you, Hokage-sama." Naruto said as he moved backwards, so she could enter.

Tsunade followed his movements carefully, then she walked forwards. Rather not wanting Naruto behind her, but it seemed like she had no option.

The passage closed as Naruto stepped in besides her. Naruto moved past her and walked towards a door. As he once again removed a seal and the door opened.
Tsunade chuckled a bit. "So many precautions."

"Of course. We don't want uninvited guests." Naruto said, while he started walking knowing she would follow, since there was no way out anymore.
It was dark, and kind of creepy while they moved through the small hallway. Tsunade knew they were beneath the ground and going lower.

It almost felt like she was being buried alive. Then he opened another door and they walked in. Lights were on, so the darkness had left them.

Tsunade closed her eyes, while they were getting used to being in the light again.
"Ah, welcome back Naruto and also welcome Hokage-sama." A voice said. She immediately opened her eyes, letting the light in. A person was standing in front of them. Orange hair and piercing on his face.

"Let me introduce myself first." He smiled.
"My name is Pain and I am the leader of the Akatsuki and if I am not mistaken you wished to talk to me."

Tsunade noticed that Naruto had moved forwards when she had closed her eyes.
He was now standing behind the other man.

"Yes. I wanted to talk to you indeed." She stated, as she watched both of them. She got herself in this situation, now she needed to get out again. And she didn't intend to die. She couldn't die yet.

"Let us move then. We have a room where we can sit and discuss what you want." Pain said.
"Naruto. I believe someone has been waiting for you, all this time. So you are dismissed." Pain said towards him and he smiled at the blond.

"Thank you, Pain-sama. Then I will take my leave." With one last glance towards Tsunade he left the room. Tsunade then finally noticed the room. There were 5 doors, and the room itself was round. She then looked back towards the leader.

When Pain noticed he had her attention again, he gave a small nod. "If you would follow me, Hokage-sama."
"Of course." She replied as she walked after him.

Itachi's and Naruto's room(Akatsuki base):
Itachi was lying on his bed, his eyes closed. He was resting. He heard the door open, but he knew who it was. Soe he didn't react.
Then he felt someone was sitting on the bed and he opened his eyes.
Naruto looked at him and smiled. He was glad he was back with the Akatsuki.

No. he was glad to be next to Itachi again. He moved forward and kissed Itachi slowly, while he closed his eyes. He had missed him a lot. He felt that Itachi replied to his kiss. Of course the raven had missed him too.

Itachi wasn't glad when Naruto had said that he should keep his distance, but the blond had explained it would be better.

When they broke apart, Itachi smiled. "Welcome back, Naruto-kun." Slowly he sat up.
Naruto smiled. "It's good to be back, 'Tachi. Naruto closed his eyes and he moved closer to the raven.

Itachi automatically brought his hands around the blond and hugged him close.
They were together again. Although it had been such a short time, it had felt like forever that they had been apart.

Naruto closed his eyes, feeling Itachi pull him closer, he moved a bit so he was sitting more comfortable. Itachi felt Naruto move closer and smiled. He kissed Naruto's head.
Itachi had finally accepted the truth, somewhere along the way.

He couldn't stand losing this precious person in his arms. He had accepted the fact that he loved Naruto. He couldn't deny it anymore. Itachi closed his eyes too, feeling the warmth of Naruto's body against his own.

He would never trade anything, he would give everything to keep the blond with him. Itachi knew that Naruto had become his weakness, his only weakness.

"What are you thinking about?" Naruto asked, breaking the silcence.
"Hm, the future." Itachi replied.
Naruto snorted.
"The future I see is with you. Together with you, Itachi." Naruto pulled back a bit to looked up at the raven. Naruto smiled. "I don't care what the rest of the future brings."

Itachi smiled. Naruto's hand moved upwards and touched Itachi's cheek and pushed some of his hairs behind his ear.
"You are right, Naruto." Itachi moved his head forwards as he made their foreheads touch other and they were still looking each other in the eye.

"I can never get enough of you." Naruto said soflty.
Itachi smirked. "I see."
Naruto noticed the smirk and grinned. "It's the truth."

"Same for me, Naruto-kun." Itachi closed his eyes. His hands were still around Naruto as he lit himself fall back on the bed, pulling the blond with him.
Naruto gave a small yelp at the sudden movement that pulled him down on Itachi.

Naruto looked up to see the raven looking at him. He found it rather amusing Naruto noticed.

Naruto let his head fall on the raven's chest. He was pretty tired, because of everything that had happened. He briefly closed his eyes.

"Itachi."
"Hm." Itachi replied, wondering what Naruto needed to say.

"I left a message for Sasuke before I left Konoha."
Itachi opened his eyes and looked at Naruto, who still had his eyes closed and was lying on his chest.

"What message did you left him?" Itachi asked.
"A message with the truth.."

Naruto felt that Itachi didn't react and he looked up to see the raven laying there. His eyes closed as he tried to understand what Naruto had done and if this could affect his younger brother's live.

"I told him about your past, Itachi. I don't he deserves to know the truth."
"Naruto…" Itachi started, and he opened his eyes, looking at the blue eyes.
"I wonder if that was a wise move."

Naruto sighed and closed his eyes, moving towards the raven he kissed him on his forehead.
"Itachi. He is your brother and my best friend. I would rather have him on our side. Don't you feel the same."

"Yes of course I feel the same, Naruto. But Sasuke will find out his whole life has been one big lie. I just wonder how it will affect him."

Naruto smiled and his right hand lingered on Itachi's cheek.
"Don't worry about it, Itachi. He is a grown up now too you know. Despite that he is your younger brother he too has aged. I bet he can handle it now."

Itachi soflty smiled, hoping the blond was right. Itachi hated the fact that it had went like that in the past. But he couldn't find himself capable of killing Sasuke. No matter how weak his younger brother was, he couldn't kill him.

Itachi closed his eyes.
"Let's get some rest, Naruto-kun. You deserved it after what you have been through."

Naruto smiled and let his head fall back on the raven's chest.
"It was not the hell I used to know. It was different."

Itachi chuckled. "No, Naruto. You are different. You look at Konoha through different eyes now. Not with that mask of you."

Naruto smiled. "If I had known it would have ended up like this, I would have left with you and Kisame when you came to get me."

Itachi smiled, remembering that scared little blonde boy, which opened the door to see two missing nins standing in front of him. Well Naruto had changed. That scared little boy was gone, he had grown up.

That made Itachi realize that Sasuke must have changed too.
Itachi felt that Naruto had already fallen asleep, cause his breathing had become even.

He slow pulled the blankets a bit over the younger boy to keep him warm.
Although Itachi knew he would not get cold that quickly.

Naruto moved a bit, seeming grateful for the blanket a bit, since he murmured something like thank you.

Itachi turned around a bit, so he was now lying on his side, as he held Naruto close, till they were both lying next to each other.
Itachi closed his eyes. He never could have known it would end like this.
Love finds a way, even if the situation is against it. Itachi held one hand around Naruto, who was breathing against his chest now.

Itachi finally could get some sleep too, knowing that Naruto was safe back.
Back where he belonged.

Konoha:
Naruto's house:

Iruka needed to go back to Naruto's house. He had promised it.
He knew he had to find something there, he just didn't know what exactly.
Kakashi had decided to accompany him when Iruka had explained the situation.
And Kakashi was right, it had been important, since it was about Naruto.
The pieces were falling into place. They now needed to understand what Naruto exactly wanted.

Jiraiya had taken up the temporary task of being the Hokage since Tsunade was gone. He didn't want it at first, but when people started leaving he had no choice anymore. He needed to show them there was a new leader.

Kakashi wondered if Jiraiya knew about this all. Iruka had said he had talked to Naruto in private, despite the warnings from everyone he couldn't just walk away from Naruto.
Kakashi then felt that he had failed as Naruto's sensei, cause he never went after the blond.

They finally reached the house and Iruka looked around before walking inside.
"Wonder how we will find something when we don't even know what we are looking for." Kakashi said as he eyed the room.

"I bet we will know when we find it." Iruka answered as he moved to the bedroom.
His eyes widened as he saw a crow sitting on the bed.

"Kakashi." Iruka called, making the crow look up.
Kakashi moved quick as he heard the other call him. He then noticed the crow.

"Well guess you are right. We were looking for Itachi's crow. How could we ever know that?" Kakashi said as he watched the animal.

Iruka moved forward. The crow eyed him, but did not move from its place. Iruka thought he maybe had a letter, but he saw nothing.

"No letter or anything." Iruka stated, not knowing if the crow was what they needed to find.
Kakashi moved forward too, so he was standing next to Iruka.

"Then what do we need to do with this crow?" Kakashi wondered as he looked at the black eyes of the crow.

He had seen the crow when Sasuke and Naruto had been fighting. Its eyes had been different then though.
"It's eyes are different now. Last time I swear I saw a red glow in it." Kakashi said.
"What does that mean then?" Iruka asked as he looked at the other.

"I have no idea, but I think we needed to find Itachi's crow. But why I don't know."
Iruka's eyebrow rose. "You want to take the crow with you?"

Kakashi laughed. "So it seems. We are taking it with us. I have a feeling there is a reason for it being here. It's better if it doesn't not fall in the wrong hands."

Iruka knew that Kakashi was right and gave a nod.
"You think it would come willingly tho?"
Kakashi looked back at Iruka. "It's an animal. Despite being an animal from Itachi. It is still an animal." Kakashi stated.

Kakashi moved his hand forward and wanted to grab the bird. But the bird looked up a sharingan flaring to life when he felt the hand close in. Kakashi quickly pulled his hand back. But then he heard the door behind them close and he looked back at it.

"Kakashi. A genjutsu!" he heard Iruka yell. As the room begin to blur and disappeared.
This is what Naruto wanted to find them. One second later they both fell to their knees, gasping for air. Kakashi looked up to the bed, the crow was gone. They had seen the message Naruto had left them.

In the streets of Konoha:
Sasuke tried to understand this, but he couldn't, not without the truth. He needed to know it now.
If all had been a lie, then his whole life. His whole reason to live, his will to kill Itachi. Everything would just disappear. Everything will change. Nothing will stay like how it was now. Sasuke run and run. He wouldn't stop for no one and nothing.
He needed to know, he would find out about the truth.
He finally reached it. The library of Konoha, but also the place where all information's was held about missions that were giving in the past.

Of course you needed approval of the Hokage to enter it. But Naruto had been clever, really clever. He wonder how he had gotten the permission paper for it. But for now Sasuke couldn't care.
He walked inside and immediately to the closed archives. One of the guard looked up when they saw the Uchiha coming their way.

"You need permission to enter the archives. Please show us your papers."
Sasuke handed him the paper he had in his hand. The guard gave a small nod.
"It seems fine, you can enter." The guard said as he turned around, opening the door. And letting the Uchiha in.

The other guard looked at him, when the door was closed he said: "Was that clever? You know what kind of information is in there for the Uchiha right?"

"Yes, of course. But I needed to allow him passage, since he hold the Hokage's approval to enter."
The other guard that was sitting, rose his eyebrow, but closed his eyes and went back to sleep.

Sasuke looked around, not exactly knowing where to find what he was searching for. It was so big. Then he noticed that it was in some kind of order though, so he walked past the big walls, which all hold scrolls. All were missions from the past.
Then walked further in when he noticed the Uchiha crest on some papers. These must be the ones.

He pulled some out and opening them. He read what was inside, but found nothing which could prove what Naruto had told him in his letter.

He looked further, when he noticed there was still one left. He grabbed it and opened it.
There it was… Naruto hadn't lied. When he read the order that was giving to Uchiha Itachi, the order to kill all the remaining Uchiha's. Cause they were getting dangerous.

Itachi had been a spy, a spy for Konoha and a spy for the Uchiha's.
Sasuke knew about that, but this… Sasuke couldn't even begin to understand how his brother must have felt…

He rolled the scroll back up and put it beneath his clothes. It wasn't allowed to keep the scrolls of course.
But in this moment Sasuke didn't care. He would kill the guards just to keep this scroll.

He opened the door. The guard looked back at him. "Found what you were looking for?"
"Yes. I did. Thank you." Sasuke then walked further.

"One day you need to give that scroll back, I hope you realize that." The guard stated when he left.
Sasuke walked back into the city. A lot of people had left. Without leader, they were defenceless.
They were an easy target right now. Sasuke went back to his home, when he got home he picked up the letter Naruto had left him, rereading it.

Naruto's letter:
 Stay in Konoha, Sasuke. Times are changing. The people of Konoha will pay.
It's time you know the truth. Itachi has told me about his past. His ANBU past.
His choice to murder the Uchiha family. It was an order. An order from Konoha.
The Uchiha were planning to overthrow the city. Itachi had received the order to stop his own clan.
He had been ordered to kill his own family.
Look in the archive's from previous missions, you will find that order, Sasuke.
Find the truth. Stay in Konoha.
Wait for the right moment.
Signed Naruto.

Sasuke looked up, feeling the scroll hidden beneath his clothes. How could the people of Konoha. How could they!? Use Itachi as a pawn like that. Sasuke felt anger burning in him, but it was not directed at his brother anymore, but the people of Konoha.

Naruto had said they would pay and they would indeed pay. Sasuke would be glad to help them.
