Chapter 3

~3rd Person POV~

1 Year Later

It's been a year since Sasuke and Naruto met and started their friendship. Naruto sometimes sneaked around the Uchiha compound to visit Sasuke and while at it found one of his favorite ANBU members, Weasel. Who ironically turned out to be Sasuke's older brother.

Of course, he also sneaked in to play pranks... like displaying all the Uchiha's underwear on the roofs of every house in the Uchiha district and parts of Konoha. Naruto had fun and just kept doing his usual pranks while he was in the Academy. He painted the Hokage monument, threw paint or smoke balls in the village, released the Nara deer, put itching powder on the dogs that lived at the Inuzuka compound among other pranks.

Today though, Naruto was sneaking into the compound to analyze the layout. He knew there were some secrets rooms because at one point or another he felt chakra underneath the ground but when he consulted Kurama and the fox told him it was not the ground's chakra, but people's chakra underneath the soil.

When he found that out, Naruto immediately asked Kurama how to conceal chakra and Kurama started training him on concealing his chakra. It had been a few months now and he finally could hide his chakra well enough to the point of minimal detection, his stealth was good enough even with the hideous oversized orange jumpsuit jacket he wore daily.

He masked his chakra as he found a hidden pass way, and walked towards a door. He silently went in as he avoided the door to make any noise if it did. He went inside and looked around and he heard voices. He was about to take a step forward when Kurama spoke.

"Kit be really careful here. I feel a lot of hatred. Not towards you... kind of. But there is a lot of anger, resentfulness." said Kurama as he sat up from inside Naruto's mindscape as he analyzed what Naruto was seeing.

Should I advance? asked Naruto a bit unsure. "Yes. They are planning something, and it is up to no good. I'll help you repress any leftover chakra. Go and see what they are discussing." said the fox. Naruto nodded and silently walked towards the voices.

Naruto took a deep breath as he listened in. "We have to do something about this!" yelled a voice. "The village have oppressed us for far too long!" yelled another. "When will the coup start Fugaku-san!?" yelled another voice.

Fugaku... Fugaku... why does that name sound familiar? thought Naruto. "Kit! Fugaku is the Uchiha's clan leader, and Sasuke's father. He talked about him at one point." replied Kurama. "And pay attention!" he added quickly afterwards. Naruto snapped back into reality and heard a few other murmurs and yelling.

Then suddenly he heard a soft yet loud enough for everyone to hear voice. He recognized it because it was so unique for a voice, it was Itachi's. "Father. Will you really continue doing this? Does it really have to be this way?" asked Itachi.

"Itachi, this is the only way we can have power once again. You are our trump card against the Hokage. You're an ANBU captain, you are near him often. We need you to spy on him for our coup to be successful." explained what Naruto thought was Fugaku.

"I... I understand..." said Itachi's voice, however both Naruto and Kurama felt the feeling surging from the Uchiha as he said that. For one, they knew Itachi hated whatever this coup was. "Kit! You have to let the Hokage know!" said Kurama urgently.
