Everyone in Konoha knows Naruto. The dead-last, the idiot, the prankster, happy-go-lucky, a dumb blond with a hopeless crush on Haruno Sakura. What about Sakura? A hopeless fangirl of Sasuke's who cannot fight to save her life, with loving parents who care for her. Sasuke? An emo avenger who does nothing but brood over the end of his clan, power-hungry and willing to do anything within his power to kill Itachi. The list goes on. However, not everything is as it seems. Every person, be it consciously or unconsciously, has a mask that hides their true selves. Their lives are not nearly as happy as they seem. This story is one of truths well hidden and lies well kept. And also how truths, no matter how well hidden, will always come unburied. DISCLAIMER: I do not own Naruto or Naruto Shippuden. Any pictures used are not mine. They belong to their rightful owners.

Even the best of us start off with a mask. (guys pls stop reading it's terrible)

Itachi and Naruto have just learned that their clans had arranged a marriage for an alliance. Neither of them know each other and at first Itachi is cold towards Naruto, but starts to love him during their journey (life) together. Naruto is bullied in and out of school, making him depressed. Itachi doesn't know about this and tries protecting Naruto the best he can when he finds out. How will things go? How does Itachi change towards Naruto? (This is an AU in which they go to school, they aren't ninjas and they have somewhat traditional families [clans].) {Note: This story does contain swearing, will have some sexual scenes in the future, and is a small trigger warning} I OWN NOTHING BUT THE STORY PLOT!!! ALL NARUTO CHARACTERS BELONG TO THEIR RIGHTFUL OWNERS (not me)!!!
