"Why hello there, Sasuke." Sasuke turned around his eyes widening, he knew this man. His straight black hair, his pronounced tear troughs, his flat mouth, his mothers warm and kind eyes. Itachi had come, he had come to Sasuke. Sasuke had a choice to make, and he took it.
"NARUTO, SAKURA, RUN!" Sasuke pumped chakra through his legs as fast as he could, he cradled the woman in his arms tightly so she did not jostle too much worsening her wounds. In a flash a blue skinned man appeared infront of him, he shook his index finger.
"Ah, ah, ahhh. Running wouldn't be any fun, stay and play a little while why don't you?" Sasuke grit his teeth, he didn't know anything about this man but for him to be hanging around his brother? This man was trouble. Naruto grimaced, with the two boys in his possession he couldn't fight, or defend himself, should Itachi or the man decide to come to blows. Sakura shook in fear, this man in front of her. Everyone knew his name, Itachi Uchiha, the Kin Slayer, bane of the Uchiha, reaper of the ANBU forces, and devil of Konoha. She drew a kunai shakily as she stood in front of her fellow students, fear radiating off of her but she was determined that she would try her damndest to defend them. Itachi scoffed at the young girls effort.
"What is your name, girl?" Sakura shook more but she felt her need to protect her friends.
"ITACHI DON'T YOU TOUCH HER!" Sasuke roared, he laid Kurotsuchi down gently on the ground. Naruto laid the two boys down near her and he tightened the straps keeping his chest piece to his body. Itachi saw the armor and his eyes widened, he looked Naruto in the eye and instantly realized who this was. This was Naruto, son of his mothers adored friend, Kushina. He almost sighed at his luck, running into the two people he wanted to meet, he looked Sasuke in the eye as he tensed his hand. In a matter of one second Itachi lashed pout with the back of his left arm. It cracked against the jaw of Sakura and spun her, he pushed out with a left leg planting it on her back and with a mighty push he flung her into a tree. Sasuke looked on in utter terror, and in this moment his heart broke.
"SAKURA!" Sasuke roared rushing towards her, when she failed to fall off the tree he saw why, his brother impaled her through her right shoulder on a broken limb. Sasuke gently took her off the limb and a gush of blood left her body, he could tell her aeorta was not torn or damaged, but it caused severe damage. Sasuke looked to his brother with tears filling his eyes. Sasuke turned to leave but he felt a cold hand lay against his cheek.
"P-Please, d-don't go Sasuke. I-I'm cold." Sasuke looked worriedly into her eyes and his heart started to beat fast, his adrenaline rushed and her hand fell away from his face. Sasuke never felt a pain like this in his life, not even when forced to watch his clans death by Itachi.
"It looks like you broke him again Itachi, would you like me to finish him off?" Itachi scoffed and walked towards his brother, once close enough he saw something he never imabined he would have. Sasuke's eyes had changed, red on black and atomic particle in his eyes with the core being his pupil. Immediately Itachi felt something, he looked to his left arm, it was engulfed in black flames, thinking fast he sliced the appendage off just below the joint. He scowled at his brother and with one smoothe move he launched a Sparta kick into the boys head launching him into the tree. With a loud crack Sasuke laid there unmoving but conscious. Itachi kneeled on a knee next to his brother and unknown to Sasuke he smirked. Itachi laid a hand on Sasuke's head and brushed some hair behind his ear.
"It seems you've become to complacent inside of this village. Allow me to rectify that." Itachi pulled a tanto out and was about to slit Sakura's throat when he looked to his left, Naruto now shrouded in red faced Itachi. He scowled and leapt towards the missing ninja, Itachi felt the boring repetitiveness come to his attention and with lazy grace he dodged every single move of Naruto's. Feeling bored of this dance he grasped Naruto's throat with his right hand and raised him high, he flung him towards the three unmoving bodies that Naruto and Sasuke laid there earlier. Naruto landed on all fours hovering above Kurotsuchi and that's when he saw, there was light in her eyes, she was conscious!
"N-Naru, h-help me." Naruto watched as the skin on her face started to burn and fade away and with screams of pain and terror unlike he had ever heard before her skin across her body started to burn. Naruto started to cry then he smelled it, the burning flesh and she struggled beneath his form, her eyes turning to pools of jelly, the burning hair. Naruto was about to snap when he smelled something different, something that shouldn't be there if this was true. The smell of cherries and lilac, Kurotsuchi's scent, that is when he realized, he was in a Genjutsu. Naruto pulsed his chakra and was released from the Genjutsu, he saw Itachi standing in front of him and Kurotsuchi.
"Tell me what you love most in this world, give me the pleasure of tearing it from your arms and leaving you in the depths of hatred and despair. Let me hear your screams." With a stomp Naruto's arm broke and the bone protruding from it dug into the ground as Naruto registered the pain he screamed as he never had, even on the night of his birth. Itachi smiled wickedly, his eyes fading to complete black the sharingan no longer being in them.
"Good Naruto, this is only a fraction of the pain that our master will inflict on your life, next we meet, you will begin a new lesson, psychological pain. I look forward to teaching you again." Itachi was turning to leave when he had to backflip away from a rain of kunai. He grabbed the fist that was about to hit his face but without his left arm he had to block the kick to his chest with his knee. Jumping up and launching his leg into the chest of his offender he heard a whoosh of air, he ducked as a sword nearly decapitated him. Spinnign around he lashed out with his right leg in a sweeping kick to the offenders legs, the person jumped and spun slamming a heel into Itachi's face.
"It seems I must leave, till next time children, tata!" Itachi and Kisami vanished with a pop, the person Naruto couldn't make out as he was about to pass out grabbed him with strong hands underneath his arms.
"Fox, Toad, Weasel, Chipmunk, you four get the heavily wounded back to the tower now! I will get the two boys." The four masked ninja coming out of the shadows picked the four heavily injured teens up and vanished in a swirl of air and leaves. The masked ninja turns to Naruto and picks him up, she cradles his body against her and wants to snap into an angry fit but she creates a clone that grabs the silver haired boy and the four vanish into the night.
'Hold on Naruto, I've got you.'
