See Me For Who I Am

I'm BAAAA~AAAAAACK!! Missed me?? Lol. Probably not as much as the story…XD

Well, anyways, a bit late, and I'm very sorry to say that I wasn't able to update it sooner because of exams and the bad internet problem, but whatever!! I completed the chapter anyways, right? Well, here you all are!! Chapter 6!!

Again, THANKYOU ONCE AGAIN FOR THE WONDERFUL REVIEWS!

Summary: Yaoi. Naruto lives a double life in Konoha. He isn't as stupid as people take him for. Sasuke and Naruto were in a relationship, but Sasuke did something stupid, and they break up later. Naruto leaves Konoha afterwards, without his friends knowing. When he returns, he's changed, but as beautiful as ever. Slowly, everyone in Konoha sees him in a new light. Naruto is attracting trouble without even knowing. What is our blonde ninja to do?

A/N: If you don't like to read about guys making out or doing `stuff' then you may leave or flame me to your hearts content.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. I wish I did though. But if I did I bet it'd be all screwed up.

Pairings: At the beginning it's Sasu/Naru, Mia/Sasu. Later, it would be Ita/Naru and one-sided people/Naru. You can decide/vote if you like (But don't give your hopes up…it's REALLY likely to be Ita/Naru XD).

Note: any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me.

A/N: Uhhh… I forgot to mention, but I think you all should know, that in Lightning Country right now it's in the late evening, and in Konoha it's early afternoon. I don't know the time for sure but I like it like this, so yeah.

WARNING: Yaoi, as I said earlier, and some major OOC with some characters. I'm trying to get them into character as best as I can… which isn't really saying much.

“Talking”

`Thinking'

-Expressions-

Kyuubi talking

Previously:

Mia still hasn't left her spot even after Sasuke disappeared from her sight. Twenty minutes later, she slowly gathered her belongings and fixed herself before leaving the alley, without a second glance at Akira.

“Uchiha Sasuke… you will pay for my pain. You alone will pay.”

While walking out of the alley and plotting sweet revenge upon Sasuke, Mia did not see a runaway cart heading towards her. When she does it was too late. She was run over, head first. She was brought to the hospital where the doctors told her, when she woke up, that she lost both her baby and her arm from the accident. Saddened by her loss, Mia became a nun, starting anew, thinking God was angry with her, and the only way to repent her sins may be serving Him for the rest of her life.

All the while, others continued on with their lives, barely noticing the disappearance of a young blond woman.

Chapter Six: Let's Get the Party Started!

Konoha

After leaving Mia to wallow in self-pity, Sasuke left the alley to walk around Konoha and think about all of what happened for the last few days. So far, this is what was running in his mind:

1. Naruto left, and may not be back for a few years.
2. Naruto is super pissed at him (A/N: Not surprised).

3. Mia is pregnant, but the baby was not his.
4. He chased away the one man he ever really cared for and may never get him back.
5. How will he be able to find him?

Sasuke stopped and rethought number five. How to find him? Did he seriously want the blonde back into his life? Is he really willing to risk his pride and explain to him all that has happened and expect him to take him back? Does he… does he really `love' the blonde sunshine…?

`-Heh-. Ridiculous… I, Uchiha Sasuke, fall in love with the blonde dobe whom everyone in the village has scorned and loathed all his life…? Impossible…'

But as the Uchiha heir pondered these thoughts, memories of a happier time with the beautiful blonde sunshine came rushing back to the raven-haired teen, bringing out a small smile out of the stoic face without him realizing.

Memory Lane…

Memory 1

“Sasuke!! Let's have a picnic outside! The weather is amazing! Look!! I brought ramen and fried chicken and fried rice and fried fish and fried potatoes and fried beef and more fried food!”

“Dobe… all those fried food will make you fat… not to mention is very likely that you can get a heart attacks…”

“… Thanks for ruining my day as usual, bastard! But screw you!! My food, my rules!! If you don't want to eat, then starve to death for all I care! -Nyah-!”

Memory 2

“Naruto, what are you doing?”

“Setting up cameras in our bedroom. What's it look like to you?”

“I can see that… but… why…?”

“I read in some magazine where couples tape themselves doing it and heard it was hot. I thought we should give it a try.”

“-BLUSH- B-Baka!!”

Memory 3

“Naruto… what's with all the raw food?”

“-Hah-! This is something smart I learned from the strongest of all men! Eating raw food will increase your chakra and make you 3 times stronger than you already are! And since I'm already so strong, think about it… with all this raw food, I will become invincible!!!”

“Where exactly did you hear this from?”

“Jiraiya!”

“…”

“-Hah hah hah-! No worries Sasuke! I bought enough for you too!”

“It's… okay Naruto. I hope you know that Jiraiya-sama is playing with you again… and that you will get sick before you get anywhere near strong…”

“-Hah-! That's where your wrong, teme! I have an iron stomach so nothing will make me sick! And since you won't have your share, then too bad! Your petty words won't work on me! I won't back down from this next stage of testing my courage and strength!”

The next three days Naruto could be found in the bathroom with Sasuke chiding at him by his side. A week later Naruto was found chasing one very bruised up Sanin, running around all of Konoha, throwing the most frightening threats ever heard.

Memory 4

Sasuke and Naruto were making out on the couch. After a few minutes of very long and heated kisses, Naruto pops a question that has been on his mind for a while.

“Sas -kiss- suke -kiss- hey, why exactly -moan- are you gay?”

Sasuke stops kissing his neck and gives him the most ridiculous stare ever. The raven-haired man stared. And stared some more. It seemed as if the question did not get through his head entirely.

“…Do I seriously have to answer that…?”

“Well, yeah…I mean, no….but-”

“Then shut up and enjoy the ride.”

End Memory Lane

Sasuke couldn't contain the chuckle that was building up in his chest, so he let it out as a cough, as not to attract too much attention (A/N: An Uchiha laughing in broad daylight?? Who the hell wouldn't be shocked/scared?). During his time with Naruto, it's hard to admit it, but he DID have fun… Probably the most fun he's ever had since the death of his clan….

`What are you thinking Uchiha…? -Heh-. Am I finally regretting what I have done to Naruto…? I don't need him. I can get stronger on my own. I know it… and yet, what is this indescribable feeling in my chest…?'

Sasuke stops walking and places a hand to his chest. He feels his heart pumping slowly, calmly…

`Then why do I feel so troubled? Why is it that I feel so restless so… empty?! It doesn't make sense… unless…'

Sasuke didn't take another second to ponder. He jumped above a house and started running on top of rooftops, heading to the direction of the Hokage Tower.

`My answer lies within Naruto. He is the source of my happiness. He is the only answer to this indescribably feeling. I must find him. I must bring him back, like how he brought me back.'

Flashback

The fight continues within the Valley of The Dead. It looked as if Sasuke had the upper hand in everything with the help of his third form. Not even Naruto seemed able to block most of the hits delivered by Sasuke even if he had a large amount of Kyuubi's power coursing through his veins.

In the mean time, Sasuke seemed to be enjoying the fact that he was destroying Naruto slowly, but surely. He made sure each hit directed to Naruto was fatal and would bring immense pain, which seemed to be working since it was slowing Naruto down considerably.

Somehow, during the fight when Naruto delivered a hard punch that sent Sasuke flying down the water fall, Sasuke couldn't help but notice the intense rage showing on Naruto's face, as well as the deep red eyes that did not belong to the cheerful boy who's eyes were usually the most beautiful blue that outshone the sky itself.

The eyes foretold a great amount of rage and killing intent but if looked close enough, one would be able to see a hint of sadness and regret. But regret for what…?

Sasuke soon found his answer.

Unbeknownst to him, since he was lost at the moment in his mind, there was another Naruto right behind him who hid his chakra so well and crept behind him so silently, Sasuke wasn't able to sense him. By the time he did it was too late. The Naruto behind him emitted the powerful Rasengan that was digging at the back of his wings. Before he can turn away, the original Naruto that was in front of him dealt him with another Rasengan, this time to the shoulder. (1)

With all the pain surrounding him, it was no surprise that he blacked out right away.

(A/N: I'm SO sorry. I know I can't write fight scenes and such…so please deal with me, ne? heh heh heh….=_=;)

When Sasuke woke up he found himself being carried piggyback style on Naruto. Before he could get up and start to beat up Naruto again, he finds himself unable to move a muscle, not even able to lift his head, which was resting on Naruto's back. The only thing he was able to do was blink his eyes.

“Oh, you're awake. That's good. I was afraid you got into a coma and it'd be my entire fault. Again. -Heh-.”

What's this…? Why was Naruto talking to him as if nothing happened between them… as if they didn't just fought for their lives and that Sasuke did not betray their village…? Why was Naruto acting like this?

“You might be wondering why you can't move. Well, how should I explain this…? Okay, first of all, you spent a lot of chakra. Second, it's `cuz you were dealt with TWO Rasengan's, and if that weren't enough, I thought you might try to get away from me again, which we can't have, so I placed a paralysis jutsu on you. Although I don't think it is necessary, it would be good just in case. Don't you think?”

Naruto turns his head back to look at him, giving the trademark cheeky grin. That was when Sasuke noticed all he scratches on his face, along with a few bruises and a cut on his eyebrow that was still bleeding a bit.

`If I feel so tired and drained, but how is it that he is still able to move, and carry me no less? Why does he always have to work so hard? Why bother questioning now when all it's going to do is make myself feel worse than I already do…'

“Sasuke, whether you want to hear me out or not, I just want you to know, I never want to fight you again like we just did.”

`Why would he be telling me this…? I thought he'd hate me by now…'

“Like a lot of people, I don't think I can stand it if you died. Heh. But that doesn't mean I would like it if you killed me instead. I… I care about you. You were my first friend and rival. I wouldn't have it any other way you know? You've made yourself a part of my life now. And now, I think it's nearly impossible to remove you from your place in my life, no matter how much I should try.”

`Really…? Did I make that much of an impact in Naruto's life, like he did in mine…?'

“If you were to go and runaway again, I don't know what I might have done. Well, probably beat your big sorry ass to hell, then try and drag it back to the living, but that's not the point! I just… I just hope that you'd understand what I'm trying to say and not try to leave again… Or you'll be so sorry you'd wish you were never born!”

Naruto didn't need to explain himself. Somehow, Sasuke was able to understand what he was trying to say, and it touched him somehow. Content and relaxed on the warm back, Sasuke fell asleep with a soft smile on his face, dreaming of nothingness, only peace and tranquility were the only feelings he felt even unconscious.

End Flashback

`Naruto…'

Lightning Country

Dream

It was all misty and cold. All around him was grey and white mist. The atmosphere was disturbingly familiar and yet not entirely. Itachi tried to walk around in this dream, but finds that he was not able to move a muscle.

Suddenly, small red clouds appeared all around him, the symbol for Akatsuki.

"Itachi"

Itachi did not, could not move, but if it was possible, he felt himself stiffen slightly at the voice.

"Itachi. How is the mission coming along?"

"It's coming along better than I expect."

"Oh really? I know it is easy for someone like you to gain the trust from the Kyuubi container, but have you at least gotten the trust from the Kyuubi itself?"

"No, the Nine Tails has yet to trust me. He suspects something, but is not too sure."

"-Hmmm-... You know you are running out of time, Itachi. If you cannot have the container come with you willingly, WE will make sure to take him by force."

"..."

"-Hah hah hah-. Remember Itachi! You are running out of time...

End Dream

Itachi finds himself slowly waking up because of the blinding rays coming from the window right beside him. He slowly opens his eyes, just to close them again right away. Then, it dawned on him...

'I slept in.'

In a way, it was no surprise to Itachi, for every time a member of the Akatsuki or the boss himself were to contact him in his dream, his mind would succumb deeper into unconsciousness so it is up to his clones, who he sometimes have hidden somewhere in missions, to defend him during times like these if there were ever to be an attack.

The man quickly got out of bed, and realized the bed beside him was unoccupied and was folded neatly back the way it was the night they came in the room. No blonde-boy-gone-red-head was there. The only thing that was left from the man was a note on top of the pillow.

Itachi slowly got out o bed and walked towards the other one. He took the small note and read:

Itachi

Never knew you were the type to sleep in! (`That's because I'm not...') Deeply amazed and shocked... Anyways! I went on ahead to get information around the place. I think it would be wise to go separate ways for the most of the day. Meet me back in the motel by mid afternoon.

-Naruto

`You're quite the hard worker, Naruto-kun. Now, let's see what you might have done the previous night when I was unaware…'

With a snap of his fingers, a clone quickly appears along the side of Itachi. In his hands was a letter addressed to Tsunade.

Itachi looked at his clone calmly and emotionlessly. Without saying anything at all, he quietly took the letter and held it, looking at the quick, chicken scratched scrawl that makes it Naruto's writing all the while taking a kunai out of his cape which was next to his bed (A/N: No Akatsuki members can survive without their pretty red cape XD)

Taking it in his hands, Itachi quickly and swiftly opened it the way only an Uchiha can do with a kunai. The content made Itachi stiffen slightly, but he was composed within seconds so it was barely noticed. And so, Itachi continued reading the letter.

Baa-chan

I've arrived safely to the Lightning Country, and I'm doing pretty well. I hope the same goes for you too. It's really not that bad here, not including the part where I was greeted and molested by the biggest, ugliest, baldest guy in my life. It was horrible! But, I had some fun in getting him back. Don't you worry though! The man won't remember me at all. He'll be remembering much better things instead…

Baa-chan, I hope you weren't drunk when you assigned me a partner who's a missing-nin. There's something very odd about all this, especially the fact where you didn't tell me anything about having a partner at in the first place. I can't help but feel odd about my partner. The same goes with Kyuubi. Write me back soon, Baa-chan. I can't wait to hear your response and lame excuses!

Uzumaki

Itachi can practically smell the distrust written in the letter.

`Funny. I swore he was more than willing to believe me last night. I must remember this is not the same Naruto I dealt with all those years ago… this Naruto is much smarter…even if he doesn't show it.'

“Tell me. What time was this letter sent out?”

“Approximately 3 in the morning.”

`And now it is practically 10 in the morning. This letter was supposed to be arriving to Konoha sometime by dawn tomorrow....'

“Was he using a mail carrying ninja or one of his clones to get the letter to Konoha?”

“One of his own clones.”

`Perfect.'

With a paper and pen in his hands, he went and sat on his bed with the letter on one side and his paper and pen on another.

“Sharingan!”

While looking at the letter, Itachi saw and memorized the lines and curves that makes Naruto's writing uniquely his own. He copied the first half of the letter and changed the other half to his own benefit.

Baa-chan

Baa-chan, I think that for such a top mission such as this I should have been assigned a partner or two right? Well, where is my partner supposed to be? I hope you don't expect me to do this all on my own! Write me back soon, Baa-chan. I can't wait to hear your response and lame excuses!

Uzumaki

"Quickly. Deliver this to Konoha as fast as you can."

In a moment, the clone of Itachi quickly transformed into the form of a mail carrying ninja with the new letter in hand, quickly leaving the room and heading towards Konoha.

Little did Itachi know, in all of Naruto's letters, he would always place a spiral symbol hidden with a jutsu somewhere in the letter that only Tsunade and Jiraiya know about and are able to disengage the jutsu to see it, so if anyone were to ever try to pretend writing a letter or something to either Sanin, they would be able to know because there would be no spiral symbol.

Itachi seemed too preoccupied with something in his mind to sense the jutsu cleverly hidden on the other letter and didn't bother to look back at it. Instead, he made a small fireball jutsu that burnt the letter, never to be read by anyone again.

`Perfect. Now, I can continue on this mission with some more peace in mind.'

(A/N: So he thinks…^///^)

Konoha

-YAWN- Damn it…. it's too quiet and peaceful without that brat.'

The great Godaime of Konoha, Tsunade-sama, was currently at her desk, doing work, for once without being told, and hated every second of it. Nothing interesting came up in the reports. Same old missions again and again. From escorting royalties over boarders, to assassinations, it all seems too boring for Tsunade. Without Naruto around, the village has gotten much quieter. Most of the younger ninjas have started feeling just as depressed as Tsunade, and she wasn't surprise that a few of the older ninjas were getting a bit restless too.

`People such as Jiraiya, Iruka and Kakashi…'

Before she can ponder any longer on the depressing matter, there was a shout outside the door. Although Tsunade had perfect hearing she was too down to even consider the person outside her door might be a threat to her from all the commotion.

“…-san please!! You CAN'T step inside this office without an appoin-”

“Shut-up. I do as I please. Now step away!”

What?! How dare the punk think he can just barge into HER tower and HER office like he owns the place?!!?

“OI!! What the hell is all the commotion out there!? Keep it down you dumb asses!!”

Tsunade's yelling seemed to have reached them, for it was all quiet for a split 3 seconds before Tsunade's doors were flung opened wide, and in stepped none other then one of the last of the Uchihas, Uchiha Sasuke.

Now, usually Tsundae would regard him as someone respectable, but after the stunt he pulled to the young blonde man whom she treats as her little brother, it's hard to look him straight in the eye and not try to jump out of her seat and STRANGLE him.

“Good afternoon, Tsunade-sama.”

“Uchiha. Would you like to explain to me as to WHY you're in my office without an appointment, and come barging in while I'm busy? Or would you like to explain it all to me after the Anbus arrest you?”

Tsunade gave him her most serious glare that Sasuke could barely keep eye contact with the great and powerful woman.

Quickly, he lowered his head as if ashamed, and apologized.

“Tsunade-sama, pardon my abrupt entrance during this time of day, but I have a question that I really need an answer to.”

How dare he…how dare this young man think he can get an answer from someone like Tsunade! Does he even know who she is, and her relationship with Naruto!? Does he not know he's stepping on thin ice?! Angry as she is, she was still curious as to why he needed her.

`Probably wanting to know where the next closest brothel was so he can get another woman pregnant… or he wants me to name the child something decent and respectable… In my opinion, I believe “Bastard” would do fine…'

“Speak.”

“Where is Naruto?”

Although the question caught her slightly by surprise, she answered the question quickly.

“That is confidential information. All you need to know is that he is off on a mission and will not return anytime soon. Now, dismissed.”

“He told me in the letter it was confidential, and that he might not return in a few years. Please, Tsunade-sama. I must speak with him.”

“And what? Hurt him again? Mock him for trusting you and loving you? For CARING about you? Or do you just want to rub it in his face how manly you are by sneaking behind his back sleeping with a slut and getting her pregnant with your child?”

Sasuke mumbled something indecipherable that even Tsunade had trouble hearing, so she demanded him to repeat it louder and clearer to her, looking at her and not like some abused dog.

“I said she lied to me. The baby is not mine. She just lied to me and said it was mine because she wanted me to support and care for both her and her child. I… I want to tell Naruto that Mia and I are nothing…”

“So basically, you're telling me that just cuz you did not care or want one lover, since she's not bearing an Uchiha, you think it's alright to go back to your former lover? Bull shit! You make me sick, Uchiha Sasuke. What makes you think he would ever want you back?”

Her words stung him deeply, but he knew he deserved it. It was the last question though, that disturbed him greatly.

`What makes me think he would want me back…?'

“Tsunade-sama.”

When Sasuke looks up, he sees 5 Anbus surrounding him and blocking the exit.

“What would you have us do, Tsunade-sama?”

“Nothing. At least not yet. Uchiha. If you do not get out of my office in 5 seconds, I'll have the Anbus arrest you and hold you prisoner for a YEAR just for trespassing. Now, be gone.”

With that said, Sasuke gave Tsunade a small bow, and disappears in a puff of smoke.

With a wave of her hand, all the other Anbus have too left her alone in her own office to ponder all that has happened within the hour.

And all that came to her mind was, `This is the shittiest morning ever.'

(A/N: SO TEMPTED TO END IT RIGHT HERE… but we all want to see Naruto again, right? Right.)

Somewhere Else in Konoha…

Since he was dismissed from Tsunade's office, it was all Sasuke can do but walk around, sulking and gloomy, all around Konoha, affecting the people around him unconsciously and making them stay away from the once again dark boy. Surprisingly, it seemed even his stalker-fan-club-girls knew it wasn't right to approach him. Well, all except one, which, to much relief, was her funeral.

“Oh Sasuke-kun!”

Sasuke ignored the squealing `thing' calling out to him. He continued walking, casually, gloomily, ignoring everything around him.

“Sasuke-kun! Wait up!! Oh good! I caught up to you! I can't believe I had the chance to cross paths with you today Sasuke-kun! I think this is a sign from above! But besides the fact that I think to day was fated for us to be together, how are you today Sasuke-kun? Isn't the weather beautiful today? Isn't it perfect for a date, do you think? Oh Sasuke-kun, I feel like blushing for being so direct… But, I was wondering, what are your plans tonight? You think you'd be free? Huh?”

“…Shut up…”

“What was that Sasuke-kun?”

Dear lord… what the hell was wrong with this girl?! Was she blind or even ignorant, to the dark, depressingly unsettling aura that seemed on the verge to kill something surrounding Sasuke?? Was she asking for a death wish? Was she fucking crazy?!!?

“I said, Shut. The. Fuck. Up. What, are you fucking deaf? Or just highly demented? Can you NOT tell I want to be left ALONE? What makes you think you're good enough to ask me out? Do I have a sign somewhere on me that say: `Willing to go out with anyone. Desperate and lonely girls included.'? What is it you freaks see in me? My looks? My money? Or are you just THAT desperate to get in bed with me? Just face it. You have no chance to begin with. Stay the hell away from me.” (A/N: I'm so sorry… I JUST had to put that spaz in there… it was one of those `sudden thoughts' things… like I said before, flame all you want, if you have any that is.)

The girl in front of Sasuke was speechless as the Uchiha continued lashing out at her in a deadly calm, indifferent voice, but anger and disgust was radiating through his very being to his dark, deadly eyes. Unknown to the girl, tears started streaming down her face from all the harsh words being thrown at her, but luckily (for her), someone came to the rescue before it got REALLY ugly.

“Oi, Uchiha! What makes YOU think you're good enough to say those bull shit words to that girl, huh?”

Sasuke looks at the person behind the girls and sees Kiba, Hinata, Sakura, Lee, Ino and the rest of the once old but still well know Rookie Nine.

The person who made the comment was none other than Kiba (A/N: Of course.) who was glaring at him with hate and anger so strongly you could almost feel the heat through the look. Most of the people in the small tight knit group were giving Sasuke the same look, others looked at him with a shocked expression, as if they never knew Sasuke had it in him to say such harsh words to an innocent (crazy fan)girl.

The said girl slowly walked back, stumbled, and fell. When Lee tried to help her up, the girl cried out, flung herself away from him, and ran away with tears blurring her eyesight. In Sasuke's mind, with sadistic pleasure, thought:

`Heh. Serves her right.'

“Sasuke-kun.”

Sasuke looks at them with that indifferent gaze once more, realizing that it was Sakura talking this time.

“That was highly uncalled for.”

This time, it was Neji.

“I agree! I mean, what the hell did that girl ever do to you? I'm pretty sure you didn't even know who the hell she is!! Unless, of course, she's ANOTHER one of your secret lovers.”

Why must it always be Kiba causing the problems…? With that comment, he earned a sharp glare from Sasuke, while everyone gave their own glares to Sasuke, who was doing a great job ignoring them all.

“Kakashi-sensei told us the entire story.”

Flashback

“Hey guys…”

It was a long day. The girls and guys spent the day shopping and store hopping, looking for gifts for friends, as well as gifts for family members. They all shopped until evening, tiring themselves out, as well as ignoring lunch.

They were all currently walking around the park, enjoying the scenery as well as each others company, for it was rare now a days to have an entire day all to themselves, with them all becoming chuunins and jounins and having missions to do every other day.

“Guys…!”

Everyone stopped to look at Sakura who was behind everyone, leaning on Lee (A/N: what a perfect couple… a thick-eyebrows freak and a big forehead freak… ain't life grand?) looking tired and sick.

“What's wrong Big Forehead…?”

Always the caring best friend, Ino quickly jogged to Sakura's side, holding onto her arm.

“…”

“What is it, Sakura-chan? Speak and I will do all that is in my power to make that paleness upon your lovely features disappear!”

“…I'm hungry…”

“….”

No one commented or could say anything to that. Kiba though, snickered, followed by Hinata's small chuckles, as well as Neji's, and then everyone started laughing at the poor starving young woman.

“Hey! Guys, that's not nice! I'm REALLY hungry!!”

“Hah! Serves you right for continuing your stupid dieting! Honestly, what do you have to lose?”

And so, Sakura joined in the laughter, before they all decided to go to Ichiraku's Ramen restaurant, Naruto's favourite ramen joint that became so famous, it was renovated until it was a large restaurant that can hold more than 50 people.

As the restaurant's owner's favourtite customer's friends, they were seated right away to `their' spot that they've claimed as their own in the restaurant. Upon arriving to their usual spot though, they see Kakashi sitting on one of the seats, reading his usual Icha Icha Paradise, without a care in the world, as always.

“Kakashi-sensei! Long time no see! How are you?”

Sakura gave her greetings to her ex-teacher, and was followed by everyone who gave their own small greeting to the grey haired man.

“Yo, kids! Hows it going?”

And so, everyone sat down around Kakashi-sensei and had a comfortable talk throughout the entire meal. Near the end though, someone sprang the question they've all been worried and thinking about for a while.

“Ne, Kakashi-sensei,”

“Hmm?”

“Where… where exactly is Naruto? I'm sure you've seen the letter he's written for us all, or have one yourself. But then, in the letter he wasn't being direct enough, or gave us much, if any, information as to what's he's doing in Lightning Country. All we basically know is that he's gonna be gone for maybe a few years. We were all wondering if you will tell us why he's there, and what's he is doing… and if it is so important to last for a few years, why is he doing this alone? Doesn't he have a partner? And besides all that, what's happened between him and Sasuke.”

There was a moment of silence. Even Choji stopped gobbling up the ramen to listen to Kakashi's answer. Kakashi himself was still reading his book and didn't look like he was going to answer until everyone heard him giving a great sigh. He leaned back against his chair, scratched hi head, and looked at all the curious face in the table before him

`This… is too troublesome on a weekend…'

“-cough- Well, it seems to me that Naruto has not told anyone one of you as to what he's doing on his mission, why he will be gone for so long, what's going on between him and Uchiha,”

No one missed the way Kakashi said Sasuke's name. Sure, he said it casually, but it was by his last name, and as Kakashi's favourite student, to call him by his last name, it can probably mean something bad has happened between Sasuke and Naruto.

“Or any information what so ever. What makes you kids think it's my duty to tell you anything if Naruto did not give you guys any permission to know in the first place?”

“That is true, but we're still Naruto's friends, anything that happens to him will affect us all. In a way, he is like a family member we'd never had, and we'll sorely miss. Please, Kakashi-sensei, tell us what happenend…”

In the end, Kakashi relented telling them everything about Sasuke's secret lover, her pregnancy, how Naruto found them, how he decided to go on a mission to forget about the asshole, at the cost of everyone buying him his lunch and his shopping supplies. The only thing he will never reveal is what Naruto is doing in Lighnting Country, for he himself did not know either.

End Flashback

At hearing these words come out of Shino's mouth, Sasuke felt anger and rage churn inside of his stomach, while his outer appearance did not change much, save the Sharingan appeared, swirling madly at their direction but not looking at them directly.

“Sasuke, how could you? Do you not have any pride or shame for what you've done? Do you not understand what you have given up?! You're such a dumb ass… it's no wonder your brother wouldn't kill you.”

“Shut the hell up, Kiba.”

“I mean, what would he gain killing a little, stupid, dumb ass weakling like you anyway…? Other than more blood, I highly doubt that would be satisfying.”

Before Kiba could say anymore, Sasuke ran to him with his lightning speed, attacking Koba with his guard down. Expecting this, Kiba jumped away, just to be kicked in the back from Sasuke who disappeared and reappeared behind him. The girls cried out and looked away. But all Sasuke hit was a Bunshin, a log that replaced Kiba.

After the first hit, Lee, Neji, and Shikamaru all joined in, surrounding Sasuke. Since most of them were the same level ninjas, it wouldn't be hard if they were fighting one on one. But, four on one was a different story.

Kiba reappeared beside Sasuke and it was a full throttle taijutsu fight, which was quickly won by Sasuke, who kicked dog boy away. In came Rock Lee and Neji, who two teamed the Uchiha with both taijutsus and ninjutsus.

After a full four minutes of fighting, both Lee and Neji jumped away. When Sasuke tried to follow, he realized he couldn't move a muscle. It felt like a paralysis jutsu, until he remembered his other competitior, one who specializes in using shadows…

As he expected, when he looked at his feet, he sees his shadow, as dark as night, stretched all the way behind him. Instinctively, like something was controlling his body, he feels himself turn around in a full 180 degree, just to see Shikamaru a couple of feets away from him, holding the stance for his shadow jutsu and glaring at Sasuke.

Suddenly, Kiba appears in front of his face, smirking a cool, casual smirk, although his eyes revealed nothing. After three seconds of staring, Kiba punched him on the face, hard, followed by a kick in the stomach.

Unable to move, Sasuke felt the pain shoot from his stomach until he feels it all over his body. His only response to the attack was a low grunt.

Next up was Neji, who gave him a look so cold, Sasuke felt cool.

“Although this is highly injustice for you, Uchiha, it seems you deserve this more than anything else. You are despicable. You don't deserve to be called a human being. It is people like you in this village that makes it hard for everyone to be peaceful and happy in. But besides that, even more, you never should have deserved Naruto.”

Following these last words was a punch in the jaw.

The abuse continued. As the people who did not participate in the fight in the first place, except Rock Lee, who stood next to Sakura, watched on (A/N: Sorry to interrupt, but just an FYI, they're in a secluded area of a training ground, so no one has to witness the ganging up and abuse of the great Uchiha Sasuke. Pretty mean, eh?). They wanted to stop it, but at the same time, could not, for their anger for the Uchiha would not allow them to stop what was happening to the young man.

Sakura though, was torn at the site that met her eyes. Sure, even though she did not have any more feelings towards the raven-haired young man other than respect and friendship, she still adored him, since the small childish crush she had for him still lingers, even though she has found a new love in the form of Rock Lee.

She so desperately wanted to stop the fight! But, the thought of Naruto, where he is, who put him in that situation… that was enough to halt Sakura doing anything to defend the beaten up Uchiha, for even though she still adore her Sasuke-kun, if slightly, her love for Naruto as a brother and best friend still over comes the other feeling. It was this reason that she is not there, defending the poor boy. And yet… and yet she cannot help but take a step toward both Sasuke and Kiba, only to be stopped by a hand on her shoulder.

Just when Kiba was about to land one more punch to the battered up body, a hand grabbed his arm, and held it still before it even touched Sasuke's skin.

When Sasuke did not feel the punch he knew that was supposed to come, he looked up, and was surprised to see his rescuer, for it was none other than Iruka-sensei.

“That's enough, Kiba.”

Looking behind them to find the body that the voice belonged to, they were surprised to see Kakashi standing next to Sakura, one hand holding her shoulder as if to stop her from approaching them all.

A cough caused them all to look back at Iruka-sensei, who's face remained calm and emotionless. The scary thing was, his eyes were the same. No one could read or see any emotions out of the. This fact was what scared everyone the most.

“Children. Would you please explain to me, what the HELL do you think you were doing to Uchiha Sasuke…?”

Everyone gulped, feeling like a kid who was caught doing something bad, like stealing a candy or trying to leave class. Everyone, especially Kiba who was the one who caused Sasuke the most harm, felt kind of ashamed for what he's done, but will never say sorry. At that moment, Sasuke was kneeling on the floor, near unconscious after Shikamaru removed the jutsu on him due to the loss of blood and the multiple injuries that adorned his body.

All everyone could think, as they beheld the scene before them that shows a bloody Sasuke, a group of well-respected ninjas in Konoha (a.k.a. Neji, Kiba and Shikamru) ganging up on Sasuke, and a calm but furious Iruka, was: `We are SO screwed!'

BACK to Lightning Country

`I cannot believe I am doing this. I cannot believe I am doing this. What the hell was I thinking…?!'

“Oiiiiii!!! Itachi-kun! Hurry up will you?? Do you WANT to be in the back of the line?!”

This is what's happening within the last couple of hours or so, before Itachi found himself in this predicament:

A Few Hours Ago…

There was a knock on the door as Itachi was sitting on his bed, garbed in the clothes he wore last night, reading a book that he brought with him. Kami knows the only times he get to relax and read was when he was on long term missions.

Itachi looked outside and saw the sun was setting soon. It was obviously about time Naruto was home.

“Itachi-kuuu~unnn!! Guess whoo~oooo!”

“…”

“That's right! It's me!”

“…”

“I'm happy to see you too Itachi-kun!”

“……….”

“Shut up you bastard!”

“….”

“Oh yeah? Up yours!”

“…”

“Fine, then I WON'T tell you all the information I've gathered while you were sleeping on the comfy pillow with your big fat head. I bet you didn't even do anything today!”

“….”

“Oh really? Prove it!”

Reaching into his pants pockets, Itachi produced a notebook, which was filled with writings and names of the places of which their suspects (people whom they suspect are doing things and planning to attack their ally countries since these people aren't your average civilians; no, they're your average thugs and gangsters, out to make big money) usually hanged out at, the people whom they associate with, the places they usually meet, even the places they eat!

“You… you've… uhh… really outdone yourself, Itachi.”

“….”

“Fine fine fine… I'll tell you what I've gathered: there's a pretty big and famous club here called Redemption. There, two notorious and rivaling gangs usually hang out. Tonight, the two big bosses are gonna go there to do some trade or agreement.”

“….”

“I know I know, not that important, but hear this, and I think it may spark your interests: I hear, one of the rivaling gang, Hiro's Crew, can you believe they call themselves that?!!?!? Ahem. I mean to say, rumor has it, this guy works for Orochimaru. Ring a bell?”

“…”

“I thought so. Anyways, here's my idea: you and I are going to get into that club. I am going to seduce one of the leaders and see what information I can get.”

“…”

“Of course I'm gonna go as a guy!”

“…..?”

“…True… I don't even know their preference…”

“….”

“SCREW IT! Until then, you and I, my friend, are going shopping!”

Presently…

Naruto has done the impossible. He made Itachi go shopping with him. He made Itachi wear clothes he does not want to wear. He made Itachi NOT kill the cashier who was flirting and hitting on him the entire time. Last but not least, he made Itachi wear makeup.

“Oh the humility! Suck it up princess! I'm in this with you too you know!”

`As well as the one I should blame for putting me though all this…'

Along with the list `Naruto made me…', Itachi and the young man were currently in line, waiting to get into the infamous club, Redemtion. All the while, Itachi had a cool appearance on the outside, but was raging silently inside.

But then again, Itachi cannot bring himself to stay angry at him. No matter how much he wills himself to at least glare at the young blonde man, to at least make him feel uncomfortable or even disturbed of the great and almighty Uchia, Itachi cannot bring himself to do it.

I mean, who can, when you're standing not to the epitome of a walking wet dream? Surely not even Itachi himself can stay mad the young man, since one look can make him forget everything due to the fact that just looking can turn into staring… and staring too long at might make him do… inappropriate things in public…

But then, Itachi knew beauty when he saw it, and right now, the young man standing next to him was beauty itself. And everyone else seems to agree with him, if the staring and drooling helps.

Naruto had his hair tied in a high ponytail, with his red and blonde bangs framing his tanned, grinning face. The young man wore black eyeliner and had body glitter on his arm and a bit on his neck, but people mostly focus mostly on his large, beautiful but unusual purple eyes that were glowing with mischievousness all the time.

Continuing down, Naruto wore a black leather choker, along with the green-jeweled necklace that was given to him by the Godaime herself. Then, in one ear, he had a small silver hoop earing that gave him a bit of a rebellious look. He wore a deep-red, loose fitting sleeveless shirt that looked as though it cost quite a lot since the material was beautifully made using usual materials that were rare and expensive in Lightning Country. Matching the shirt, Naruto wore a pair of tight black leather pants that looked as if they were painted on, as well as large leather boots. Naruto certainly looked fit to go clubbing that night.

And, truth to be told, everyone who were around them had there eyes on him found it hard to look away and stop from drooling. Then again, it can also be because of the company Naruto had beside him that made him and his companion the center of attention.

Unlike Naruto's outfit, Itachi opted for something much more simple and elegant instead. Itachi had his hair down, for once. It was long, smooth and shining as the lights all around reflected the black lustrous hair. Like Naruto, he too put on eyeliner, but lighter than Naruto's, and a bit of grey eye shadow to give his eyes a smokey, mysterious look on him. Decked in a satiny soft silver-grey button up dress shirt, with the first 3 buttons unbuttoned, it exposes pure ivory white skin that gave Itachi an ethereal look. Then, matching the shirt, he wore loose black pants that looked as if they were painted on him; the man was worthy of being called a walking sex god.

Like all big and famous clubs, the lines were usually SUPER long and can take days to let everyone in to the ultra-super-duper-amazing club. But, unfortunately, both Itachi and Naruto did not have the time.

And so, being Naruto, the did the smart and improper way out to solve the problem: he hit on every single person ahead of him until they let both Itachi and himself `bud' them, along the way getting some phone numbers and requests for dates, which Naruto will reply, “I'll think about it -wink-.”

Of course, some people got jealous of the attention Naruto gave other people, so some of them started a fight for the beautiful man. Naruto didn't even looked behind him once, but had a small, evil smirk tugging his lips at the screams of rage and cry of bloody murder echoing behind him.

“Wow. I'm not even in the club yet, but I'm having fun already! What about you Itachi?”

Itachi had his separate share of `budding' the people ahead of him. Some, he glared coldly until they backed away. Others, the glare has the opposite affect, and they would either faint of fearing the glare, or faint of how hot Itachi looked glaring. This in turn amused Naruto greatly while Itachi paid it no mind and continued their trek to the front line, which they successfully made it in less than 5 min.

Very soon, they were at the very head of the line, with only a couple of people ahead of them. Sadly, a pair was not allowed in, since they did not look like they belonged in the club, physically.

“Damn. Did you know people here discriminate the average looking people?? That's pretty mean…”

Itachi just nodded his head in response, since we all know that he couldn't care less.

Very soon it was their turn. The bouncer took one glance at them and quickly opened the door for them to enter. At once, they were hit with a strong wave of music, the smell of musk and sweat, the energy of excitement and the strong aura of lust everywhere.

“Well? What are we waiting for? Let's have some fun, shall we?”

Itachi gave a small, unseen smirk, as he was lead to the dance floor by Naruto's hand, and thought, `Yes…let's have some fun while we still have time left together, Naruto'kun…'

Elsewhere in the club…

“Oi, Kyo, whatcha lookin' at?”

Kyo, the fat balding businessman, looked at the person who was talking to him and saw that it was none other than Hiro himself, the other gang leader and rival of Kyo's. It seemed as though Kyo had zoned out while Hiro was speaking, and the man was not pleased at all, not that he showed it on his face.

Hiro was… an interesting man. Although his looks were nothing too extravagant, he still stood out some way, somehow, and brought everyone's attention to him, a skill Kyo never could acquire or could place a chubby finger on.

“Nothing in particular. Go on with whatever you have to say so I can have my fun.”

`Those two are fresh… hope this meeting ends quickly so I can get to know them better… heh'

“-Mumble- What a big fat kid…-mumble-“

“What was that?”

“As I was saying…”

Ryuichi's P.O.V.

Well, well, well. WHAT do we have here…? If it isn't hottie number one and two! This must be one of my lucky nights.

“Oi, Kyo.”

“-Hmmm-?”

“I'm bored. I'm gonna go down for some asses, okay?”

“Sure, whatever, but remember, you have a job to do. I expect you to finish it as soon as possible.”

“Yeah yeah yeah… whatever.”

Damn it Kyo. Who cares about some job when you see two two good looking men looking like they're ready to be screwed?! I for one don't care, but how I'd love to get rid of Hiro's Crew…-snort- who the HELL calls themselves that?!?!?

End of Ryuichi's P.O.V.

Ryuichi left the small group snorting on his way out.

“Ummm… is he alright…?”

Hiro was watching Ryuichi walk out the room, sweating a little bit by the psychotic look on the man's slim, pale face.

“He's fine. Maybe he's high, but it's nothing new. Anyways, what did Orochimaru say about the plan?”

“I'll tell you in a moment, but how many men do you have on your side?”

“How many men? Enough to fill this entire club!”

“-Hn- That's not enough.”

“What are you saying…?”

The way Hiro just `-hn-'ed it off really just pissed Kyo off. With the way his vein was pumping on his balding head, anyone could tell.

“Are your men special in any way? Orochimaru-sama needs men with ninja abilities. If all you got are fighters, they may prove to be useless to Orochimaru-sama.”

Hiro's Crew, even though has a terrible and lame name, was well known for their ninjutsu abilities, especially a handful of the members have kekkai genkai, or an advanced bloodline limit.

The group was not to be reckoned with, but Kyo's group still tries to take them head on anytime they can. Even though Kyo's group doesn't have any special men with an advanced bloodline, they are capable ninjas, and with their strength and unique fighting styles, they can even rival Hiro's gang.

“You don't have to worry about that, Hiro. It's my gang, I know how to handle them. You worry about your own, and tell me what Orochimaru is planning to do.”

“If you insist…”

Elsewhere in The Club

Itachi was sitting on a stool at the bar, looking for some of the suspects he had been following around all day. So far, he saw four of them, but they were up in the balcony, seeming to be in a meeting, so Itachi decided to sit down, watching from afar when it will end.

Naruto, on the other hand, found his targets on the dance floor. Looking so delicious in everyone's eyes, he quickly attracted them towards him. Dancing and grinding to the beat of the music, Naruto looked like he was enjoying himself, closing his eyes and dancing with two partners: one in front, the other behind.

His partners weren't that bad looking either. One had long, dark blue hair, sea green eyes, and a cute face. The other, though looked gruff, had a nice body and sexy black eyes, along with short black hair. With his black eyes and hair, Naruto was quickly remembering Sasuke, whom he spent the last few hours of this day trying to forget.

With his anger rising in his chest, he gave his partners a sexy smile and excused himself for a drink of water.

Confused, they followed him, just to be met with another smile, but cold, emotionless eyes that told them not to get too close. Again, Naruto excused himself.

“Thanks for the dance guys, but I would really like to take a break and get a drink. Alone.”

The men heard how he stressed the word `alone' and immediately felt anger and insult. As the man with black eyes was about to say something else, what he saw behind Naruto made him shut up right away and leave with his friends.

Feeling an alien, cols and deadly aura behind him, Naruto saw that it was a man that had long silver-blonde hair that looked soft to the touch.he looked lean, wearing a white wife-beater and a pair of dark blue skin tight jeans. He looked rather appealing with a soft, angelic like smile on his face. Too bad his aura told a different story.

“Please excuse my associates. They haven't gotten laid in a very long time, so it's really not a big surprise when they see a hot thing like you, they immediately think of sex.”

`…….'

“Oh… no problem…-blush-”

“Awww… that's too cute… how about I buy you a drink?”

“Sure. I got nothing else to do. You don't look like you're ready to jump my bones either (`yet'). So I don't think I'd mind your company -smile-.”

“(`You'd never know') -heh-. My name's Ryuichi. Akuryou no Ryuichi. But cute things like you may call me Ryu.”

`Oh my god… is he seriously trying to pick me up…? I wanna hurl…'

“I'm Takuya. Koushiro Takuya (2). Pleasure to meet you.”

“Pleasure's all mine.”

Ryuichi did a unthinkable thing, which was grabbing Naruto's hand and kissing the back, while looking at him in the eyes the entire time.

Naruto forced himself to blush, but inside, he was holding himself back from beating the man up and fainting from the lameness right then and there.

`Dear god… does he think I'm a girl?!!?!'

Unknown to the new `friends', they were being observed by a pair of angry looking onyx eyes.

`What does the idiot think he's doing? He's supposed to be doing a job, not letting some freak feel him up! I know he's acting, but still, I'd prefer him focusing on his targets than some freak trying to pick him-'

“Hi there hot stuff. Wanna dance?”

Itachi looked up to the young man that approached him, and quickly recoiled. It was one of the associates to his targets, but it wasn't anyone you would target.

The young man looked to be as old as Naruto. He was shorter, though, much fatter, with his hair slicked back, wearing a black tank top and baggy pants. Ew.

“Sorry. Not interested.”

“Oh? Do you know who I am?”

“A little fat boy who thinks he has a chance to with me? Sorry little man. I'm way out of your league.”

(A/N: Does anyone notice how much he sounds JUST like Sasuke there? XD)

`-Hmm- I've never talked too much to a stranger. Must be the alcohol talking.'

It was then that Itachi noticed that Naruto and the odd looking man were nowhere to be seen.

While looking around for the red head and creepy silver-blonde man, Itachi failed to notice the stout little man flipping a tiny pill into his drink. When Itachi finally found the red head, he noticed that Naruto was dancing with the man rather sensually and… exotically. The beat of the song was fast, lots of heavy grinding among partners, and some people were even in dark corners of the club doing what the music screams for. Sex.

In slight irritation, Itachi gulped what's left of the drink, failing to notice the lecherous grin on the other man's face.

“What the hell are you still doing here? Scram or I'll make you regret it.”

Before the young man can voice any objection, he noticed that the somewhat drunk man in front of him had red spiral eyes that screamed murder and a considerable amount of pain. The man stumbled on his way to get away from Itachi. Itachi, being the slight sadistic bastard he is, took pleasure in watching the pudgy man scramble away as quick as his little legs can take him.

“Like watching a piglet run away from a big wolf… wasn't there a story like that before…? I swear I heard it… where…? -Hmmmm-… Did Kisame tell me the story…or was it mother…”

The drug that the chubby man put into his drink was a well-known drug in Lightning Country. It made the person who takes it really light headed and saps the strength of their person. Itachi, being a powerful young man, would take a while for the full effect of the drug, but was falling into it nonetheless.

Meanwhile, Naruto was having a blast with his new dancing partner. They share small common interests, and Naruto found out he was a member of the rivaling gang Naruto was observing all day.

Naruto was rubbing himself against the man who was behind him, molding into his body, while the man was holding his hips and having him stay there. Naruto had his arms wrapped around the man, and they stayed that way for a while. When Naruto felt something hard against the back of his ass, he grinned.

`Glad I'm still attractive enough to make people hard without entirely touching… -heh-!'

When Ryuichi was about to suggest they go head to a room for more privacy, he saw Hiro and his gang member leave the room, departing from the club. Looking up once a again, he sees a nod from Kyo, and understood right away he had to start his mission.

Seeing that his team was also ready, he gave a small sigh before letting go of `Takuya'. Naruto felt Ryuichi ket go of his hips, and turns around, just to be wrapped around in Ryuichi's arm, and into a deep, long lustful kiss.

After a few seconds, they brought the small make out session to an end, with saliva still stuck to their lips. Ryuichi quickly licked it up, giving the red head a small, soft smile, and left without an explanation what so ever.

`What the HELL was that?! Just kiss and go?! What kind of man is he? Does he think that's cool or something!!?!? What a loser… but that was a really good kiss… Now where the hell is Itachi?'

Looking around the club, Naruto noticed Itachi sitting all by himself in the bar, with some people, both men and women, mind you, trying to approach him, but it was kind of hard since he was giving off a scary ass murderous aura that screams `come-near-me-and-I-will-give-you-a-taste-of-hell!' aura.

Two girls actually had the courage to approach him. Or maybe they were too blind to see the aura. One was wearing a blue tube top, white hot pants, and knee high white boots, and the other one was wearing a leather mini skirt and a pink halter-top.

Both approached Itachi, while the people around prayed for the two girls' well beings and hoping they will leave the scary aura man alive.

But before any of them can get close enough, Naruto steps in and hugs Itachi from behind in front of the small crowed. They all held their breaths and waited for something horrible to happen. Before Itachi could react, Naruto quickly held his chin and gave him an intense deep kiss that even left Itachi both speechless and breathless when they broke apart, and he realized whom it was.

“Naruto…'

“Hey babe. I'm bored. Whatsay me and you go back to our room and I dunno… have some fun maybe?”

All Itachi could do was nod and was led out by the hand from Naruto. Everyone backed away from one happy young man and one dazed man. The two girls that were trying to approach Itachi raced to catch up with the two men, both angry at the pretty hot red head and pissed that the dark haired young man was gay.

“Hey you! The red head whore!”

Naruto froze mid step towards the door, and slowly turned around with a frosty smile towards the two girls.

“Who… me?”

“Yes you, you filthy slut! That man's our! Unless you want your pretty face scratched up, leave him alone!”

“Yeah!”

Letting go of Itachi's hand, Naruto took a menacing step towards the girls, but they held their ground, and didn't even flinch at the hard look thrown at them.

The next thing they knew, they were on the ground, held down by two clones each. Both looked rather surprised and scared at the devious look on Naruto's face. After doing another hand seal, two more clones appeared, both kneeling beside the two frightened girls.

“You two are so lucky that you're girls, and as a man, I can't hit girls.”

Both breathed a sigh of relief from the words coming out of the original's mouth.

“But, as a ninja, we have some laws that can be broken or dodged for good reason.”

At the confused look on the two girls' face, the two clones that were kneeling beside them suddenly whispered a jutsu, that sounded something like, “Harem no Jutsu.”

Both clones were covered in a bundle of smoke, and when it cleared away, all was left were two red heads, that looked like female versions of the red head that took `their man'.

All of a sudden, one of the clones slapped the girl with the blue tube top.

“Heh. You think you'd get away from calling me a slut?” asked Red Head number one.

“And a whore?” asked Reh Head number two, back handing the girl with the pink halter.

“You actually think you'd come close to scratching my face?” Another slap.

“Or think that that hot pale man's yours?” Pulling of hair begins.

“Think. Again. You. Fucking. Pieces. Of. Shit!” With each word the clones spat out, came a slap or a punch to the two girls, who by now, were released from their hold from the other pair of clones, but because of the massive amount of blows directed to them, they couldn't do much but block it off (or try to…).

“We're sorry! We're sorry! WE'RE SORRY!!! NO!! NOT MY HAIR!!”

“EEEKKKK!! MY PANTS!!”

“NOT MY SHIRT! ANYTHING BUT MY SHIRT!”

The sounds of ripping and tearing could be heard near the exit of the doors. No one paid attention though, in the club, because of the loud music, and because they all assumed someone was getting it on behind the doors. Although all of the people there are horny and perverted, they still had the decency to respect other people's privacy.

In the end, both girls were beaten until they were unrecognizable. Naruto did the same jutsu on them like he did to Kazuma-kun (“It's for extra practice!!”), except in this illusion he put it so that it was the two girls beating one another up for HIM, instead of Itachi (“I'm not interested in girls, but hey, its good to feel that you're wanted from both parties. It makes me feel special.”)

Well, Itachi was mostly out of it throughout the entire ordeal, so Naruto had to literally drag him all the way back to the hotel. Actually, it was more like carrying him bridal style and jumping from roof to roof, but then when that got too troublesome, the started walking towards the hotel, so as not to attract that much attention if he sees anyone.

Arriving in their room and dumping the luggage on the bed, Naruto breathed a sigh of relief, glad that that was over with, took a shower, and went to bed, waiting the next day for another manhunt.

(A/N: Not. That'd be too dull. And annoying. And heartless of me. XD)

Once arriving to the room, Naruto wanted to drop Itachi on the bed so he can take a shower, washing away all the sweat and dirt and germs from strangers. But when he let go of Itachi, he found himself lying on top of the drunken man. It seems as though Itachi has woken up, and was regarding Naruto with tired, unfocused black eyes as he looked down on the red-head-turned-blonde.

`So much like Sasuke's… but much more darker, like a black hole… anyone can get sucked in, and might be lost forever… SNAP OUT OF IT!'

Shaking his as if to get rid of whatever it was in his head, he looked at Itachi straight in the eyes, sea-blue clashing with pitch black, and started to push against the bigger man.

When he didn't budge, Naruto frowned in annoyance, and pushed harder. Still, Itachi resisted.

“Itachi-kun. Will you please get off of me so I can take a shower? We have a long day tomorrow, and I would appreciate it if you were to go to sleep, as well as getting off me so I-”

All of a sudden, Itachi swoops in and kisses Naruto, startling him. Itachi kisses Naruto sloppily against his lips, holding both wrists down on the bed and apart from each other so that he may not oush Iachi off, or do some sort of jutsu that can get him out of this situation. It was then that he felt a warm foreign object touching his lips that made him realize the situation he was in, so he struggles to get Itachi's mouth off his, but it was a fruitless act as he felt one of Itachi's hands sliding inside his shirt and rubbing against a hardening nipple.

The act caused him to gasp, and Itachi took the opportunity to enter Naruto's mouth, tasting alcohol, spice, and something that was just… Naruto. Too absorbed in the taste of Naruto and the feel of his body under his rough fingers, Itachi failed to notice Naruto's discomfort, and the need for air.

Itachi finally stopped his assault to Naruto's body when he too needed air, and when Naruto bit his tongue.

“-Pant-pant- What the FUCK do you think you're doing -pant-, Uchiha?”

Itachi, drunk and unable to make sense of what was going on other than the feeling of the wonderful sensation that is Naruto, stumbled on his words, but a grin appeared on his face nonetheless.

“I'm kissing you, you dumbass. What does it look like? After all, I think it's fair since YOU kissed ME earlier.”

Elsewhere

“The jobs almost done, boss. There's only a few left standing.”

“And Hiro…?”

“Dead. Like the rest of them.”

“Excellent. Well done, Ryuichi. When you're completely finished, you don't have to call. Just press the small red button. It will tell me you are done. I'm busy with my girlfriends right now. You know how I don't like being disturbed!”

Perverted laughter was followed from the other line.

`-Shudder- same old Kyo… but what an ass… I could have had a red head in my arms tonight if it wasn't for you dumbass mission…'

“Later.”

Ryuichi hangs up, dropping the phone on the ground, bouncing off the hand of a corpse.

“Thanks for the phone. Sorry it may have costed some in your phone bill… but I guess you don't have to worry about that anymore… ne?

Laughing at his own joke, Ryuichi walks out the room, coming across more and more corpses on the floor, some barely holding onto life, but Ryuichi couldn't care less. He continued walking in confident strides, never faltering on a step, even though with every step he took, screams of mercy, forgiveness, pain and money followed everywhere he went.

`Hopeless…'

He came across one of the men in his team when he stepped out, about to light a cigar.

“OI!”

The lackey looked up, stopping mid way with the lighter to the cigar.

“Catch.”

Ryuichi took the cigar as both the cigar and math were dropping to the floor as the man tried to catch the small, black gadget.

“Go in there and look everywhere. If there are survivors in Hiro's gang, kill them. Once you know they're all dead, press that little red button. See that there? Good. I'm gone go get some fresh air away from the blood and dying.”

With a quick nod, the man ran back inside, while Ryuichi lighted the cigar with his own lighter, and began fantasizing the red head he met in the club.

`So beautiful… I wonder where he came from… I want to see him again, but then again, I'm not the committed type… I think I should go to the brothel once all this is over so I can forget-'

Before he was able to finish his sentence, the force of an explosion threw him forward from the safe house that belonged to Hiro.

The entire house blew up, two men ran out screaming in immense pain, as they were slowly burned alive. They only lasted a couple of minutes, with no water around, and no way of transportation, they died shortly after.

Ryuichi stood up on unsteady legs, pushing wood and ruble off his damaged body, and observed his surrounding in both confusion and rage.

The house, Hiro's men, his team… all gone… obliterated. Just like that.

“Kyo… you traitor… you sick bastard! I'm going to fucking hunt you down… and give you a taste hell…”

Unknown to the only survivor, he was being watched and observed the entire time by cold, calculating eyes.

`Orochimaru-sama will be very pleased… Akuryou no Ryuichi-kun…'

NEXT CHAPTER

“This was not part of the contract! You killed my men!! I trusted you!”

“It was worth it though, because you also killed you rival's men, and the men you sent out on this mission were useless anyways, right?”

“Please Tsunade-sama, tell us where Naruto is! We're begging you. As his friends, all we can do is worry. It's not like him to leave us without a proper good-bye! His letter speaks riddle itself! Please. Just…please. Where is he?”

“Pupil or no pupil, you won't get an answer from me, just like Sasuke.”

(1) Okay. Pretend with me that Sasuke is SUPER strong in his third form because of the thing Orochimaru gave him. Pretend he is SO strong, that it HAS to take 2 Rasengans JUST to immobilize him. And PRETEND that this is the scene how Naruto ends up taking Sasuke home. There is so much to pretend…

(2) Naruto and Itachi has fake names to go along in the mission. Naruto's fake name is Koushiro Takuya. Itachi's fake name is still a secret. ^_^

A/N: Okay. I know I lied. I know I said that I would update it in a week. But then I found out that I'm going to summer school, then summer camp, and I wouldn't be updating in a VERY long time. So, being the nice person I am, I made this chapter super long in hopes of you readers may be satisfied and enjoy while I am away.

IMPORTANT (sort of)

Also, I had a suggestion made by someone, asking for a lemon.

I seriously don't know if I can do one, but if asked, I might… even though I think my writing sucks… XD

I might make one anyways… but I'm still considering… so I hope you liked this fic…. this is THE longest I've ever written, and might write for a while. I will continue it, don't worry, but I don't know when I will update. HOPEFULLY before school starts.

Anyways, thanks for reading. PLEASE R&R.
