Under the Underneath

 

Chapter Five: Memories

 

Itachi brushed his long ebony hair as he watched himself in the mirror. He saw an image from the corner of his eye. He glanced down and dropped his brush. His brother, fully grown, watched him with crimson eyes. He was wearing strange clothes. Black cargo pants, black tank top, and a strange cloth with a metal plate attached to it on his forehead. If that didn't bother him then the sword he was unsheathing did. He swung around to see his eighteen year old brother looking quiet confused. Sweat poured down his face. He looked the very same in his dreams.

 

“Aniki?” Sasuke asked but Itachi was out of it. He was on the verge of a panic attack.

 

“Aniki…” Sasuke tried again but he couldn't snap his brother out of it.

 

“ITACHI!” Black orbs snapped to his.

 

“What's wrong?” Sasuke asked him.

 

“Nothing…it's nothing…”

 

“Fucking Hell it isn't, you looked like you saw a ghost and almost had a panic attack.”

 

“Watch your mouth,”

 

“Don't change the subject. Tell me what the fuck is going on!” there was a moment of silence before Itachi spoke up.

 

“I have nightmares…” That had Sasuke's attention.

 

“It was strange…one is about us…the other is about our family only everything is old...like old Japanese style everything…in that dream I killed them…all of them, our aunts our uncles…mom and dad…” Sasuke's eyes widened.

 

“But mom and dad are alive. They live on the other side of the city!”

 

“I know but…that's not all. The second dream…was about a grown you. You looked like you were twenty five, twenty six…we were fighting. With swords. A death match which we both lost…”

 

“Aniki…” Sasuke looked sad now.

 

“Why didn't you tell me sooner?”

 

“Because you would tell our parents and they would deem me unworthy to watch over you…” Itachi answered him.

 

“That's not all either…there was a blond…he was crying over your body.” Sasuke's eyes widened.

 

“I had a dream the other night…I was floating in darkness and I heard a voice call out to me…he was crying and he begged me not to leave him alone.”

 

“He looked like that Naruto character.”

 

“You know Naruto?”

 

“You don't remember attacking him last night?”

 

“I attacked him?”

 

“Yes…with fire…” Sasuke's eyes widened further.

 

“I have to go find him!” Sasuke said as he ran out the door.

 

“Sasuke!” but it was too late, a moment after he called his little brother's name he heard the front door slam.

 

 

 

Naruto was breathing heavily.

 

“Neji! Use your Byakugan and tell me where that shit head is!” Naruto shouted in anger. Veins popped out around Neji's eyes and he scanned the area.

 

“He's gone.”

 

“Shit! Tsunade is going to be pissed.”

 

“It's not your fault Naruto, Chameleons are very hard to track down and just as hard to kill.” Neji told him.

 

“Naruto is still hurt from the attack from that Uchiha, we should head back to Tsunade.” Naruto didn't even bother trying to stop Kyuubi from speaking, he was too tired.

 

“I agree with you Kyuubi. However, we have a problem.” Neji informed them. Naruto then felt a presence he hadn't felt in over 400 years.

 

“Naruto!” an angry Uchiha shouted. A blond head snapped up at the roof. There Sasuke Uchiha stood in all his glory. Sharingan swirling madly.

 

“Sasuke!” Naruto shouted.

 

“We need to talk dobe.”

 

“I see no problem with that. Neji report back to Tsunade. Tell her the mission was a failure.” Naruto told the Byakugan user.

 

“Hai!” Neji saluted before disappearing in swirl of leaves.

 

“So are you an anbu leader now?” Sasuke asked sarcastically as he jumped down and landed next to Naruto.

 

“All the members of the team report to me, yes.” Naruto supplied.

 

“Where do you live?” Naruto made a motion for Sasuke to follow him. Two blocks later the pair came upon a small apartment complex.

 

“Sasuke Uchiha, it's been a while, can't say I missed you much.” the words that came out of Naruto's mouth confused Sasuke at first until he recognized the voice.

 

“Kyuubi!” Sasuke shouted as he watched the blond.

 

“It's along story, come on in.” Naruto said as he pushed the main door open and walked inside the complex. Sasuke followed the blond up three flights of stairs to the top floor where the blond pushed the unlocked door to his apartment open.

 

“Looks like my roommate is home. Don't mind him he's a hermit.” Naruto said as he walked past his roommate's door.

 

“I am not a hermit.” Tsuki said from his perch on the counter. He was reading an old looking book.

 

“Who are you?” Sasuke asked.

 

“He calls himself Tsuki, I don't know his real name.” Naruto informed the younger Uchiha.

 

“That is because I don't even know my name.”

 

“You're talkative tonight…”

 

“Just to you.” Tsuki said then went back to reading his book implying that he didn't want to talk about it further.

 

“Come on Sasuke, my bedroom's right here.” Naruto said leading the raven into his room. When the blond opened the bedroom door, ebony eyes took in the scene. It was clean, not a single piece of clothing on the floor or bed. There was a light brown computer desk with a desktop and a lap top computer sitting on it. He glanced over to the bed and noted that it was the bottom half of a bunk bed. An old looking blanket covered the only window in the house. Upon further inspection he noticed the Uchiha symbol on it. It had been his blanket.

 

“You've changed…” Sasuke thought out loud.

 

“Well yeah, four hundred years will do that to a person.” Naruto told him. Sasuke's head snapped to Naruto. He saw him going through his closet and putting his ninja equipment in a shoe box on the top shelf.

 

“Has it been that long?” Sasuke asked as he went over to the computer desk and looked at the familiar yet foreign objects.

 

“Yes,” Naruto said as he stopped what he was doing for a moment then continued on doing his routine.

 

“What happened…the day I died.” Naruto sighed. He knew that was coming.

 

“Have a seat Sasuke.” Naruto said as he pointed to the bed.

 

“It started the day after I became a Jounin…”

 

 

 

 

 

 

Naruto was excited; he had a very good reason to be. He was a Jounin now, Sasuke had been back from Orochimaru for a good four years now, and they were madly in love.

 

“Oi Sasuke-teme!” Naruto shouted his pet name to his rival/lover. The raven looked up from his training and smirked.

 

“Missed me that much huh?” Sasuke asked.

 

“You were gone on a mission for a month, what do you think?” Naruto said as he landed next to the Sharingan user.

 

“I heard about you becoming a Jounin, congratulations usuratonkachi.” Naruto only puffed a little then burst out into laughter.

 

“What's so funny dobe?” Sasuke asked.

 

“Nothing, I was just remembering how your hair used to look like a chicken's butt.” Naruto told him as he calmed down. Sasuke glared disdainfully at the blond.

 

“So what you up to?” Naruto asked.

 

“I'm training…if you hadn't noticed.” Out of nowhere an anbu landed in front of the Uchiha.

 

“Uchiha-samma, Uzumaki-san, the Godaime wishes to speak with both of you.” The bird masked anbu told them. The two lovers looked at each other before making their way to the Hokage's tower.
