CHAPTER: 01

Deadly Secrets and Broken Promises

Naruto wasn’t sure, but he could tell that they weren’t dead. Sakura laid face down in a puddle of blood, her short pink hair was covering her eyes, but she was still breathing. Kakashi was also injured from the fight. He lay right next to her unconscious, his clothes where completely ragged and dirty, half of his mask was half ripped of from the blast. Sai had shielded Naruto with his own body and lay limp on the grass.

It hit him like a brick wall, Naruto was alone.

A sudden rush of fear and excitement ran up Naruto’s spine. This was it. The final battle with the Akatsuki. This was what determined everything. The fate of the village and the whole world rested on his shoulders. Naruto turned his attention to the sky; fate was kind enough to allow it to be a beautiful day. The sun shined warmly through the fluffy cotton white clouds, and the chirpings of birds could be faintly heard in the distance in the forest a mile way. It is hard to explain, but this was he was going protect; he was going to protect everything, the peace of the world with his two hands.

Naruto stood up, his back turned to the Akatsuki who wait patiently lined up in a row across the open grass field. There were six. All dressed the same, black long cloaks with the red clouds waving in the breeze.

“Do you think he is going to run away?” One of them asked.

“You don’t know Naruto. He isn’t one to run away and leave his wounded friends behind, he will fight us with every thing he has. Isn’t that right Itachi?” Deidara asked even though he knew the answer.

“…” Itachi crimson eyes narrowed.

“Just one more to go, then everything will be completed.” Tobi said happily, everything was going to plan afterall.

Tears swelled up into Naruto’s eyes, he didn’t want to die, but it will be worth it if he could give them one hell of a fight to remember. One, two, three go! His feet seemed to move on their own as they flew across the open field, his black and orange jacket flapping behind him. He kept going as the sweat and tears where streaming down his face.

“RASENGAN!”

The cherry blossoms fell softly on Naruto’s and Sakura’s head. He looked into her green eyes, she was so beautiful. “Sakura did I ever tell you I love you.”

“I know Naruto, I known for a long time…but…”

Naruto could sense the rejection coming on so he continued before she could continue. “And I love kakashi-sensei, even though he told me to stop calling him sensei, and Tusunde baa-Chan and Iruka-sensei and-” Naruto lowered his head his blond hair covering his eyes. “Even that stupid Sasuke. Don’t worry Sakura-Chan, we will save him. He is just in darkness right now; you and I together will bring him back to the light.”

“Yah, together. You and me Naruto.” Sakura smiled at Naruto as she clasped his hand.

Suddenly Sai appeared on Naruto shoulders. “Rejection is a bitch isn’t it Naruto?”

“Sai get off me you IDIOT!”

“One with a small penis mustn’t demand such orders.”

“I don’t have a small penis! And anyway why are you always looking you hentai!”

Sai, who was still sitting on Naruto’s shoulders, took out a book from his back pocket and started reading out loud. “Hummm lets see, 3½ cm is very small. Abnormally small if you ask me. Are you sure you’re even boy?”

Naruto shoved Sai into the cherry blossom tree knocking Sai of his shoulders, his face beet red. “How do you know my size? And why is it in a book you damn pervert!”

“Naruto,” Sakura was on the urge of laughter, she held it in as best she could, but Naruto could see she could burst at any moment. “That is really small.”

“Sakura Chan!” Naruto wined while his arms where giving a choke hold around Sai’s neck. “What side are you on?”

“I feel so left out.” Kakashi proofed out of seemingly no where reading his Icha Icha Paradise. “We are a team remember?”

“Right!” the three of them said at once, ending the conversation in giggles.

---

SASUKE! That’s right! I will avenge you and your family!

“Itachi! I will be the one to kill you! Even if it costs me my life! YOU ARE GOING DOWN!” Naruto shifted as he aimed the Rasengan at Itachi who stood in the middle next to Kisame. I will protect you all! Sakura! Sai! Kakashi!

“Sasuke!”

Kisame grabbed his Sameheda, and flung it at the boy with all his strength. Naruto jumped up, dodging the blow easily. The sixteen year old knew if the Sameheda so much as tapped him, all his chakra would be absorbed. He back flipped lading in the grass, ready to give another pounce. His eyes seemed possessed by a mad man as he launched himself at Itachi.

“Don’t interfere. I can catch him on my own.” Itachi told the others as he jumped to evade the Rasengan attack.

“End it quick Itachi, we don’t have much time to be playing around.” The leader of the Akasuki said calmly. He gave a simple nod to the others and the backed further away respecting their leaders order.

Rocks and dust flew in the air. There was a big equator where the blast was. Naruto stood up his wounds sizzling back to normal. His blue eyes glaring at Itachi. He had so many questions to ask him. This man hurt so many people. Why did he do the things he did?

“Before I kill you, tell me why! Why did you kill your family and...”

“You should know. It’s because of you that I did what I did.”

“Because of me?” Naruto repeated out loud trying his best to find the meaning in those words. The sixteen year old frowned when he found nothing, his face twisted in anger. “What the fuck are you talking about? I didn’t even know you existed at the age of six!”

“Did you now? Tell me, do you remember anything at the age of six Naruto-kun?”

“I- I” Naruto gulped as sweet pored from his brows, he didn’t remember anything. He did remember waking up to Iruka's smiling face in the hospital, the nurses told him he had a bad fall and everything about his child hood world return in good time, but it didn’t. Nothing did. “Y-you’re lying, I never knew you. You are a fucking liar! I will not believe any of your lies!”

“Think long and hard, did you know me when you where younger?”

“Shut up fucking bastard!” Naruto sprinted towards Itachi. If now, anytime would be a perfect time to try out his new attack.

For a long moment, Itachi could have sworn he saw the little blond boy sprint to him with a dorky grin on his face, arms extended to him. ‘Itachi! Itachi! I love you so much Itachi.’

What the hell? Itachi blinked, an illusion?

Then Itachi saw a fuzzy version of himself, a much younger self in ANBU uniform, running towards the boy. His younger self was smiling, a true smile, one from the heart.

‘I promise. Now you? Is that a promise Naruto- kun?’ He saw himself give an offered hand to the boy, who seemed hesitant, but when he saw younger Itachi’s smiling face all the doubt subsided and he answered. ‘Of course I promise!’

Reality came crashing down in an angry face of an Uzamaki Naruto. “I will kill you for what you did to Sasuke! I will kill you for hurting his heart!” This wasn’t the same child he had grown to love and care about deeply, this wasn’t his Naruto. This Naruto had anger, hatred, and the fiery rage he had so desired Sasuke to have burning in his eyes.

‘I promise Naruto-kun…’

That promise, Itachi had long for gotten that promise. But now, he can make that promise a reality. The moment of truth has come.

“What the hell is he doing?” Deidara demanded, “Why isn’t he attacking?”

“He remembered a promise,” The Akatsuki leader said, under the cloak his body was shivering with anger. I thought I erased that part of his memory. How? No, out of all this time why now?

-o0o-

Pain.

Blood pored out. It sprinkled into the soil.

Naruto’s eyes where wide with shock, his mouth flew open. Blood was everywhere, in his hair, on his clothes, and in his mouth so much he could almost taste it.

“Itachi?”

Itachi's eyes glared down at Naruto, there was a low growl in his throat. Blood tickled down Itachi’s chin, he coughed and looked at the boy’s arm that pierced through his rib cage and out the other end.

“Itachi? Why? Why didn’t you doge that? You could of so easily you know, so why? Tell me you bastard! WHY DIDN’T YOU DOGE IT!”

Itachi let out a breath of air, his head lowered and a smirk formed on his lips.

“Because, I remembered a promise.”
A/N-This is one of my stories that just popped into my head (out of no where really). I was listening to a Russian song and I liked it so much I got it translated… the song was so depressing and happy at he same time but it reminded me of Itachi (for some odd reason) and his secret life, dreams, and goals unseen.
