A/N Hello~ another chapter up! Im so proud of myself lol. I'm just saying, but I hope you like it!

I DO NOT OWN NARUTO

"Kyuubi" thinking.

"Kyuubi" talking

Normal POV

"Thinking"

Itachi POV

He laughed,  "Night Tachi."

Did... Did he really call me that? I don't believe anyone has given me a nickname before. I am going to put a stop to this when he wakes up.

I look over to the sleeping boy. He is snoring quite loudly I must say. I guess I have to put up with this for the rest of the night.

I think back to the small conversation we had. 

"Well," he took a pause. "Why did you kill your whole family? Why only leave Sasuke?"

His question was to be expected. Wouldn't anyone want to know? I left out a lot of detail, but let enough out for him to understand. I could feel it. The pity he held for me. I didn't know what to say, so I just told him to go to sleep. Although, I didn't expect him to call me Tachi. I do admit, it has a ring to it. I'll allow it for now.

It was about 30 minutes before the sleepiness crept in. 

No no no, I can't this time...

I fought it for a few more minutes before sleep got the best of me.

*Itachi's Dream*

I looked at the front of the Uchiha Compound. I was prepared for this... But yet, why do I want to hold back? Too late, here I go.

I went into the police force and took care of the people in there, then into the housing area. I met my father in an alleyway. 

"Itachi... what lies beyond this slaughter? Are you going to show me a different future other than the one I showed you?" Fugaku asked.

I couldn't show any emotion. Not now. "This is what I see for the future of the village, and for the clan."

"I see." With that, he disappeared. Damn it, it was a shadow clone. Why couldn't I have seen that? My father is the worst possible enemy for me. This will be the battle of the Mangekyo Sharingan.

I Made my way to the main house. I was creeping to surprise them. Unfortunately, I was found. 

"Over here..." I heard someone say. "There are no traps. Come inside."

I had no other choice than to go inside. When I walked in, I saw my father and mother on the floor, as if waiting for me to finally come.

"Tou-san!"

"I do not want to participate in a death match... with my son," Fugaku said.

What? 

"I see, you have aligned with the other side." He said.

"Tou-san, Kaa-san... I-"

"We already know, Itachi," Mikoto said.

"Itachi, promise me this." I raised my sword. "Take care of Sasuke."

No, it wasn't supposed to end like this. It's making even more hard. Even though I knew it was only a dream, it felt so real. I felt close to breaking down, but yet I couldn't. My eyes start to tear up as I walk closer to them.

"I will," I said in a cracked voice.

My hands start to shake as I get closer until I'm right behind the two. 

"Do not fear it. This is the path you've chosen. Compared to your's, our pain will end in an instant. Our philosophies may differ, but I'm proud of you." Fugaku stated.

I couldn't even see clearly as my eyes and body was overcome with grief. My hands couldn't get a firm hold on my sword due to the shacking in my hands.

"You truly are a kind child." Said Fugaku.

I finished the deed and went on the top of a roof.

The pain in my chest was unbearable. The people that I loved and cherished where gone. And because of who? Me. If it wasn't for the council they would still be alive. I continued crying until I was woken up.

Normal POV

It was early in the morning and Naruto was woken up because he needed the bathroom. Surprisingly, right next to him was Itachi who seemed to have fallen asleep.

"Is he.. is he crying?" Naruto thought. Just then Itachi made a whimpering sound. "Crap, I need to wake him up now!"  Naruto went to Itachi's side and grabbed him by the shoulder.

"Tachi~ time to wake up," Naruto said right into his ear. That was not a good idea. Itachi woke up in a panicked manner and grabbed Naruto by the throat, causing him to choke.

"I-Ita-chi...its me! Na-ruto!" Naruto choked out. Itachi was brought back into reality and immediately let Naruto go.

"Why did you wake me?" Itachi asked.

Rubbing his throat he answered, "Well, you were crying in your sleep. I figured it was a nightmare or something and woke you up."

"Sorry, you had to see that. Don't speak about it alright?" Itachi said.

"Ok," Naruto said quietly.

"Let us go since we are awake. It's not that far from here."

~Time Skip~

The two walked about two hours until they made it to Amekagure. Before they made it to the gate, however, Itachi turned a different direction from the gate. To break the silence, Naruto asked a question. 

"Soo, where is this 'secret' base of your's?" He asked.

"You'll know when we get there." Voice back to its emptiness. 

Naruto was sulking the whole way there.

*Akatsuki Base*

"Woah! This place is huge!" Naruto said voice full of excitement.

"Follow me." Itachi Said.

"No problem Tachi!" Naruto said.

"..."

Soon they both arrived at the tall double doors. Itachi pushed one open and inside was a sort of conference room. At the head was a man with piercing all on his face and purple eyes which he assumed was the rinnegan eyes.

"Uzumaki Naruto, I've been expecting you."

A/N The scene where Itachi kills his parents is from the anime. not my own words except for the emotions and commentary. In this version, Tobi does not help with it and Itachi is on his own. Hope you liked it.
