"Talking"
'Thinking'
Kyubii talking
'Kyubii thinking'
----------------------------

The broken blond had stopped weeping not so long ago. The dried tears were the only evidence of a crying fit. However, the pain didn't entirely stop. He rested his hands on his bent knees and put his head between them. He took a deep sigh of the fresh night air, drowning into his thoughts.

What happened earlier this day, was it real? He couldn't believe it. Did his only friend eventually abandon him? He couldn't bear it. Was this the end? No, it couldn't be.

This didn't seem right. Itachi couldn't just leave him like that. All alone. He needed to fix things again. He needed his only friend and older brother back. And he would do anything for it. Whatever it takes, he was ready for it if it meant making things right between them again.

A faint thought crossed his mind. Itachi is in the Akatsuki. But what does that have to do with the fight right now?

His eyes glinted as a new idea was born in his mind. Maybe he could follow Itachi, to go and apologize to him. Maybe he hadn't lost his friend after all.

But how could he trace their hideout? From what Itachi said it was sealed with chakra protection. He could trace Itachi's chakra. No, that wouldn't work. Itachi's chakra would be too faint to trace right now.
He sighed. He would have to rely on his super smelling to smell Itachi's scent and luck. He could even use that faint chakra trace.

With that being said, he got up, grabbed his mission pack bag and took his leave through the window for his searching mission.

~~time skip~~

It was early in the morning and he was near the rain village. He dashed from one tree to another, not decreasing his speed for a split second.

The blonde had asked Kyuubi to lend him his super smelling. Surprisingly, Kyuubi agreed.

His stomach gruled for the third time since last night. He stopped by the side of a huge mountain, jumping from the tree. He opened his bag and grabbed an apple from the pile of a water bottle, 3 apples, a banana and of course shuriken and kunai.

As Naruto munched on the apple, he took a deep sigh again but this time, it smelt different. He sensed some sort of weird chakra. It was weak but he could feel it. It had a familiar feeling.

His eyes widened. This was Itachi's chakra. He looked behind and saw the giant stone with carvings over it. He shakily knocked on the door.

( A/n: I know no one should answer the door because that's a freaking mafia but just bare with me, ok?)

The door opened revealing a tall dark man with a mask on his face. "Who are you?" Asked the angry man.

Naruto felt terrified just by looking into his eyes. His knees began shaking.

"Kakuzu, who's there?" Someone with a deep voice called from the inside. "It's a strange kid. He seems lost" Again, the man named Kakuzu said, annoyed.

"A kid?" The deep voice said. "Let him in. We should investigate who he is."

Kakuzu grabbed Naruto's wrist which horrified Naruto on the inside and pulled him inside.

On the inside, it was a huge living room and a kitchen, separating them a  long kitchen counter. There was ten people seated. Some on the couch in front of the TV and others on the table behind the couch. There were two seats on either side of the couch. With the door being parallel to the couch and the kitchen on the left side of the door. There were 10 people.

Everyone looked up as Kakuzu yanked the kid in. They all looked confused, except for one who looked shocked. That one being Itachi.

"Naruto! What are you doing here?!" For the first time in history Itachi looked genuinely shocked to the core.

"Itachi, calm down!" Pain said sternly. " Who are you? And what are you doing here?"

Naruto looked at Itachi then said, " M-my name is Naruto Uzumaki. I-I was looking for It-It-Itachi."

" Did you say Uzumaki?" Pain asked wide eyed. Naruto could only nod. Pain looked at Konan then back at Naruto. "What do you have to do with Itachi?"

"Leader-sama, please let me explain this." Itachi interrupted.

" Ok, go on."

" He is...The kyuubi's jinchuriki."

" I see. Well, we can't wast him. Tske him to your room for the time being."

" Hai, leader-sama. Naruto, come on."

He lead Naruto to his room and closed the door behind them.

"Naruto, how did you get here." Itachi asked, sitting on a chair while Naruto sat on the bed.

" I... I followed your scent."

"How?"

"By using Kyuubi's smelling."

" But this place's is chakra sealed. How did you find it?"

" Yeah, I didn't find this place. I just found your overall location. And the rock seemed like a weird giant door. So I decided to knock on it. I really wanted to see you, Itachi Niisan."

Itachi was slightly surprised at the last word. "Why?"

"I wanted to apologize. I wanted to explain what happened to you. Please forgive me."

" But I'm not even mad. Ok, maybe I partially am. But I left because of your safety."

" Itachi, you are my safety. You've always protected me and helped me train. You taught me everything I know about being a Ninja. I don't know what to do if you left."

" Naruto, I really appreciate what you just said but you do realize that they're criminals and they might kill you at any time, right?" Itachi smiled sweetly. Naruto almost blacked out.

Itachi chuckled at this. "Don't worry. I highly doubt Tobi will kill you." (Oh, How wrong you are.)

"Who's Tobi?"

"He's the guy wearing a mask."

"Oh, this weird dude?"

"... yeah."

Naruto yawned. " You seem tired. Get some sleep." Itachi said as he sat on the bed and put Naruto under the covers.

" Wait, didn't you say they were going to kill me?" Naruto asked groggily.
"Well, not today." Itachi smiled.
Naruto glared at Itachi as Itachi chuckled.

" 'Night, 'Tachi."

" 'Night, Naruto."
