Under The Underneath

 

Chapter Two: Answers

 

Naruto was fully exhausted when he sank down into his couch.

 

Kit, there was something strange coming from that Itachi…it was like he knew who and what you were.

 

I know…it was weird. I know the Itachi from back then is dead…I helped Sasuke kill him.

 

Maybe he's just psychic or something…it couldn't be the same Itachi.

 

Kyuubi…the Uchihas died out when Itachi and Sasuke killed each other…there is no possible way that name could still be around. I watched Sasuke die…I felt his heart stop.

 

That's what you said about Sai…look I know it's hard for you to relive that moment but you need to think back to that day there could possibly be something we both missed. Naruto shook like a leaf in the breeze. Tears formed at the corner of his eyes.

 

“Sasuke…why? Why did you leave me all alone?”

 

 

 

Itachi shot up in bed. Sweat poured down his face, his normally pale skin even paler.

 

Why do I keep having these dreams? Dreams where I killed my own parents, my own family?

 

“Aniki? Are you alright?” Sasuke asked as he opened his brother's door.

 

“Hai, go back to sleep Otouto,” Sasuke closed the door and went back to his room.

 

It wasn't just the nightmares of killing his mother and father that scared him. It was the dream where he and his brother fought to the death ending in a stalemate. He remembered a certain blond haired man holding his brother crying over his bloodied body. Itachi dressed and made his way out of his bedroom quietly as to not wake his little brother up.

 

 

 

He didn't know how he ended up at his friend's apartment. He was walking through town to clear his thoughts and as it seemed they brought him straight to Deidara's door. He knocked three times and waited for him to answer.

 

“Itachi…man what are you doing out so late?” a sleepy blond said as he rubbed sleep from his golden eyes.

 

“I couldn't sleep. Can I come in?” Itachi asked him. Deidara waved the raven in and Itachi closed the door behind him.

 

 

 

“Having those nightmares again huh.” Deidara stated as he poured Itachi some green tea.

 

“It's always the same…god what did I do in my past life to deserve such torture?” Itachi said as he rested his head on his forearms. Deidara sat across from his friend musing over a few things.

 

“Itachi…have you ever thought of going to a psychic?” Deidara asked receiving a deathly glare from the raven. He raised his hands in defense.

 

“It was just a question,” Deidara sighed.

 

“You know, Deidara might be right.” Deidara looked up to see his roommate Neji Hyuuga. The pale eyed youth watched the visitor with an unreadable expression.

 

“Are you saying you are psychic or something?” the Uchiha growled at his friend's roommate.

 

“I am a Seer, there is a big difference.” Neji told him.

 

“I knew you would come tonight.”

 

“Did you know your roommate is a freak?” Itachi asked Deidara, but the look on the blonde's face was serious.

 

“Neji interprets dreams Itachi, he has seen a lot of things.” Deidara told the Uchiha.

 

“I've seen your dreams as well Itachi. They are past events. As it seems, that is your punishment for those crimes of which you dream. To relive the events as they happen.”

 

“Punishment?” Itachi said as he mused over what the pale eyed youth had said.

 

I need to have a word with Sai…it seems that we have a problem on our hands… Neji thought to himself as he turned to go back to his room.

 

“Thank you Neji,” He heard from the Uchiha. He chuckled at the other raven.

 

“An Uchiha is grateful…that's a first.” He said as he entered his room and closed the door.

 

Neji picked up his silver RAZR and hit the speed dial for Sai.

 

“Neji? What the fuck man! I was having a good dream!” Neji growled in the phone.

 

“Itachi came in asking questions. He looks exactly like he did back then.” He heard Sai's audible gasp on the other end of the line.

 

“That's not good, I need you to find Sasuke. There are three things you need to look for. How old he is, if he looks like the old Sasuke and if he is Itachi's brother. We could be in a whole lot of trouble if they remember who they are.” Sai told him.

 

“It seems you don't know how to do your job…I swear Sai, you should have let both of them die!” Neji said quietly.

 

“I couldn't do that, the boss would've had my head, to let a Clan die out is not good. The reason he let Itachi live is that those two, even though they hated each other, were good brothers.”

 

“And the innocent Itachi is paying for it. I swear Sai, he has gone through the centuries suffering. Couldn't you let this Itachi slide?”

 

“His punishment was up last Reincarnation, he is remembering this on his own.” Sai said with a huff.

 

“We need to tell everyone, I'll call Naruto and inform him. How bad is the situation?”

 

“Let's just say if Sasuke realizes who he is, one of two things might happen. One, he would go berserk and kill everyone in a 100 mile radius and kill himself, or two, he'll kill Itachi and then kill himself.”

 

“Suicides don't get reincarnated Neji,” Neji flinched. This time he might lose his friend for good.

 

“I'll inform Naruto.” He said as he hung up the phone and called the Leader of the Shinobi Hokages.

 

“hello?” Naruto sounded really tired.

 

“Naruto this is important, have you come into contact with a Sasuke that looks like him?” Neji asked him. He heard Naruto gasp.

 

“Yes, what's going on Neji?” Naruto asked him.

 

“Did Sai tell you what he did with Itachi and Sasuke's souls?” He could almost hear Naruto flinch through the phone.

 

“Hai, demo, Neji? What does that mean?”

 

“What else did you notice? Itachi, is Itachi Sasuke's brother?” Neji was frantic; he didn't want to lose Sasuke.

 

“Neji you're scaring me, calm down and tell me what's going on…”

 

“He is isn't he?” Neji said rather than asked.

 

“Naruto, we need to talk to Tsunade first thing tomorrow morning.” Neji told him then hung up leaving a bewildered Naruto to blink mindlessly at the phone.

 

Kit, get some rest, Neji will explain tomorrow at school. You look like shit anyway. Naruto growled at Kyuubi earning a laugh from the demon.

 

If it's any consolation, this might be your chance to finally tell himhow you feel. Naruto face lit up with a genuine smile. The first in 400 years.
