I was delayed, but I have a legitimate excuse.
As most of you should know, i have a fuck ton of school. As well as being totally emotionally drained. So sorry I had no time to continue the story Thankfully, it seems my emotions have sorted themselves out and now I can give you more of my story.
Ahead of time, this is not a Ren centric chapter. No idea what I would even do for one.

Crimson Hunter-Chapter 7: Truth of a HeroNaruto stared at Itachi with angry eyes. Here was the man responsible for his old rival's pain, the man who murdered his entire family in a single night, the man who worked for an organization that was after the Tailed Beasts, including Kurama.
Suddenly Itachi coughed violently, Naruto raising his eyebrow as Itachi pulled his hand away, revealing I small trickle of blood. Itachi smiled softly as he spoke, "It seems I was correct. Using the Shunshin no Jutsu to get here had more of an effect than I thought," looking Naruto in the eyes, Itachi continued, "Naruto, would you like to know the truth about the Uchiha Clan, and the Massacre that occurred that night?"
Naruto's eyes widened, "What truth? You murdered your entire family, joined a terrorist group, turned your brother into an someone who can't forgive himself for anything , what else is there to know?"
Itachi looked somber, "While at first glance that may all seem bad, but all I did, I did for the leaf."
Naruto looked confused, why would any of that be for the leaf, sensing his confusion Itachi answered, "In order to tell you the truth, you must first learn of the history of the Uchiha, and their rivals, the Senju."
He than began his tale, telling the story of the two sons of the Sage of the Six Paths, Asura and Indra, and the war they began. Asura, the younger brother who fought for love, created the nature in tuned Senju clan, while Indra created the powerful Uchiha Clan. The clans would fight on until two members of these clans would make peace and unite, Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha.
These two would create the Hidden Leaf Village, but peace didn't last. Madara, jealous of Hashirama for receiving the seat of First Hokage, and angry at his clan, for leaving his side for the Senju, betrayed the village. He fought Hashirama in an epic battle, a battle that would end of creating the valley of the end, the same place Naruto defeated Sasuke. After the battle, Madara was presumed dead, and peace returned to the leaf village.
"-Tobirama, the Second Hokage, who never trusted the Uchiha, built their compound on the edge of the village, huge walls separating it from the rest of the village. it is here that the Uchiha began their silent hate for the village. This hate only grew 16 years ago, when the Uchiha were accused of summoning the Kyuubi into the village, despite having no involvement. It was at this point the Uchiha began plotting to take over the village, a coup D'état."Naruto processed the story and what he was told, "Why are you telling me all this? What purpose could you possibly have?"
On cue, Itachi began coughing up blood again before answering, "I'm dying Naruto. I have a sickness that is slowly killing me. The more chakra I use, the faster I get to my death bed. I believe at least someone should know before I get there, why I did what I did.Despite my clan hating the village, I grew to love it. The village elders hired me to spy on the clan, to find out their plans and report back. That night, Danzo, one of the elders, took matters into his own hands, and forged a letter in the Third's signature, ordering me to kill my clan. It wasn't until after the deed was done that I realized I had been tricked, and before I left, I pleaded with the Third to keep my little brother safe."
Naruto eyes grew wider, "If you loved Sasuke that much, than why did you tell him to hate you?"
Itachi's eyes grew sad, "My sickness began shortly before the massacre, though it wasn't as bad. Knowing one day I would leave this world, I had hoped to put Sasuke on a path that would lead to him killing me and 'avenging' the Uchiha name. Hopefully, with my death, he would be seen as a hero, and the darkness of the Uchiha would never be known."
Naruto pondered Itachi's words, 'He was really willing to die, to be seen as an evil criminal, all so that he could protect his brother.' Looking up at the Uchiha, the raven haired man suddenly began coughing again, more violently before, and fell to his knees.
Looking at the man for a second, Naruto made his decision. Taking out his E-Scroll, Naruto went to his contact list, pressing the picture of the schools head doctor. As soon as the sound of the other person picking up was heard, Naruto didn't give the man on the other line time to say anything, "I need a Medical Ship at the Emerald Forest Temple immediately. I have a man suffering from an unknown disease that's killing him, acknowledge."
A few seconds later, the voice on the other side spoke, "Acknowledged, ETA, 1 minute." Naruto nodded as the scroll shut off.
From his spot on the ground Itachi looked on, "What are you doing? I've tried to find a cure, there's nothing."
Naruto looked back, "Maybe back home you couldn't, but your forgetting that this kingdom is a lot more advanced. I have no doubt that our healers will be able to find the problem and fix it. You may have been ready to die, but after hearing your story, I'm not going to just sit and watch as a hero dies."
And further argument was interrupted as Itachi began coughing again. On cue, the medical ship arrived and landed, a crew heading out with a stretcher. Naruto, knowing someone was going to ask, spoke as the team got on the stretcher, "So far, the only symptom has been violently coughing blood. He says he has had the disease for about 10 or so years and has been unable to find a cure."
The man who looked to be in charge nodded and said, "We'll do everything we can to save him. Hopefully, we will find something the others missed. We don't have any room in the ship for an extra, so you're going to have to get back yourself."
"Ah that's fine I'll be with him "Arsene mentioned from behind Naruto. He was there for what seemed the entire conversation.
Naruto surprised nodded as the ship took off with Itachi inside, and the airship headed off to Beacon. He then turned to Arsene who was sighing" so did you catch all of that?" Naruto asked. "of course I did but it's not like you're the only person from a different place... I am as well" he said smiling at naruto. "glad I'm not the only person then," naruto said holding out a fist for Arsene to fist bump. "of course man," Arsene said fist-bumping him back.
