A/N so yeah again I took ages I know I'm terrible bite me etc

Itachi was leaping between the trees at pace, he needed to get towards the large chakra signatures that he could feel in the air around him such was their intensity. He furrowed his brow intensely thinking about his reasons for being here, Shisui had seemed to understand so he no longer needed to worry about sasuke but now his other, adopted, charge Naruto.

Shisui was exhausted to put it bluntly, he was easily the more skilled opponent but considering the fact both his opponents wouldn't go down was annoying the uchiha. The loud woman was still moving with three abdominal wounds and Naruto's chakra cloak was impenetrable and it burned the Uchiha if he closed too much. And just compounding the issue the longer the fight went on the two of them were starting to work together naturally and even his sharingan wasn't enough to prevent a nick from the fox demon. As if they could hear him the pair came forward forcing Shisui's eyes to flash red as he fell below the triple bladed scythe and having to roll back to avoid a chakra tail smashing into the space he had just occupied.

This flurry of combos continued faster and faster till the scythe bit through the mans stomach and he fell backwards; crawling back clutching his now bloody shirt he looked up to the demon blazed in red leaning over him with a sneer. Naruto pushed some of his hair from in front of his eyes and the blood on his hands stoned his hair even darker, the chakra became more intense and Shisui suddenly realised he couldn't move in fear his eyes locked to the fox's. Naruto stood over the Konoha shinobi basking in glee at the idea of his victory, of the idea that he was free and that the humans couldn't stop him anymore. Unbenownst to him his spiralling emotions were pushing greater and greater amounts of chakra out of his coils to the point were Hidan had jumped back into the trees as she was truly afraid of the spiralling mass of red forming, she clenched her shaking hands trying to gain control.

In his realm in Naruto's mind the fox was watching in two minds; on one hand he was actually proud of the boys victory even if he'd had help from that women, but the child was getting too excited now and this much chakra could damage his coils. He'd have to stop this annoyance soon.

Itachi burst through the trees stumbling as he reached the ground in a rare mistake for the prodigy, his mind wild with the sole thought of losing Shisui and his lifeline to Konoha. Regaining his footing his sharingan eyes took in the scene in an instant and he moved in a blur blurring into place in front of his friends downed form, hand signs already half done. "Fuuton: great breakthrough" he cried out as the great blast of wind sliced into the mass of chakra striking the figure in the middle. The boy was knocked out of his own thoughts by the blast though it didn't harm him, some of the chakra was drawn back into him and the air felt slightly less heavy. He looked at the new figure that was on knee next to his prone fellow, "you smell familiar, and like that bastard there are you related? And where the fuck do I know you from?" He was putting on a brave persons but Naruto was unnerved by the familiar scent of the man, it was comforting but he didn't know the man.

Itachi was worried about Shisui he was bleeding a lot and despite his skill he was no medic, he ignored the shouting blonde as he simultaneously patched the wound as best as he could and thought of his approach to his opponent. His best attempt he thought would be to appeal to Naruto's sense of humanity, the boy he knew was still in he knew it. "Naruto, can we talk?" The Uchiha's voice was deadpan as usual Itachi noted and cursed his emotional conditioning and his shinobi persona. The voice that replied to him was not Naruto's however; "little Uchiha's, what do you want with my host I would've thought our exit would've sent a message to your hokage" shouted the fox through Naruto's eyes that were no longer angry and harsh but blank. Itachi couldn't decide which he hated more.

Hidan was leaning against a tree not even bothering to stand out of sight as the two figures disappeared in speed with interludes of fire and chakra blasts morphing the environment. The voice of her new companion had been different when he had spoken earlier, older and darker and just the sound of it had forced her to her knees. Not to mention that the swirling mass of evil chakra that had leaked from the blonde had left her in a similar state. She looked again, he wouldn't be able to tell if she ran now she was sure of it; he was far too engrossed in his fight. She hung her head and rubbed her stomach, the wounds from earlier healed now, and began to walk away.

Contrary to Hidan's belief Naruto or rather Kyuubi felt as her presence moved away from the clearing, despite himself the fox was glad Naruto wasn't in control now as he was sure the blonde would be distraught at this. Despite what the child was telling himself he wanted this woman to like him and Kyuubi was already preparing himself for the shit to come later on. Refocusing on the battle he knew he had to bring this to a close there was only so much the boys body could take and the longer this much chakra was coursing through his system the more damage to heal later. But damn he had to give it to him this Konoha shinobi wasn't bad, this was reinforced as Itachi blurred around three rapid swipes and fired a huge fireball which didn't even touch the boys body. "We're at a stalemate fox" called out Itachi somehow managing to sound smug yet still emotionless. "If I was out of my host I'd destroy you you smug bastard" was the reply. "Why are you even here you know you can't get the boy to come home."

Itachi stoped moving and the demonin the child's body did the same; itachi the took of his forehead protector and a Kunai appeared in his hand from nowhere. "I didn't have time to do this earlier" he motioned his hands and suddenly drew the kana across slicing a straight dash through the Konoha symbol on his headband. The fox watched in interest now as the dark haired man retied the protected, "i have no intention of bringing Naruto back to Konoha, i want to look after him maybe even teach him a little" Itachi didn't meantion he intended to teach the boy to control the fox. There was suddenly a snarl "Naruto is mine... not Konohas... not anyone's.. mine!" Itachi looked down slightly "I see" he shifted slightly back into a stance.

"Oh no you fucking don't, dont start fucking fighting again you bastards you're scaring the shit out of me so just stop." Hidan stood slightly out of breathe from shouting with a mixture of fear and anger written across her face as she realised she'd just pissed off the two power houses in front of her. Hastily she grabbed the unconscious Shisui and pulled him into view with her scythe to his throat, "so you" she pointed at Itachi "can piss off or I'll kill your little bum buddy twin over here." Itachi looked at her steadily for a second before lowering his hands; " bring him to me and I'll leave immediately" he said flatly.

Hidan dragged the body forward skirting a circle around the terrifying demon and hurling the body about ten feet from the uchiha before backing off again. In a matter of seconds both Uchihas were gone leaving a pair of scrolls in place.

Later on Kakashi and Guy awoke despite not realising they were asleep to find a prone bleeding out Shisui in front of them; "Kakashi, is he still around?" Guy whispered quietly, "no Guy he'll be long gone by now..."

Back in the clearing Naruto's body was giving out and swaying slightly, still in control the fox turned to Hidan and said surprising softly "hide those scrolls for me... he needs to heal and those will excite him far too much" and with that the blonde's body gave out and he fell forward at Hidan's feet. "Well what the fuck am I supposed to do now?" She cried. "Kami this has been a fucked up day!"

A/N: Sorry Its so short I didn't really know what else to put here, either way Naruto has met an accomplice and has put Konoha behind him for now and Shisui and Itachi are both alive! Yay :)
