Returning and Shedding Leaves
Disclaimer:I do not own Naruto nor benefit monetarily. No financial gain is made from writing or posting this fanfiction. They were all perfectly created by Masashi Kishimoto.
A/N: My cousin challenged me to write a Naruto fic, go figure. This was not the easiest for me to write. First and foremost getting into the mind-set of a ninja, and the characters heaven forbid I have to write the emotionally stunted Sasuke. For all you Sasu fans you know I am right I read the manga, and yes that boy is Emo big time, but I like him. However, I like Itachi more coincidentally he was easier to write as well as a few others. If I have to write Sakura I will loose my mind. There now I am all better. Enjoy!
Notes: Spoilers from chapters 390 – 400 of the manga.
This story is dedicated to Dana.

My foolish little brother took his revenge. He has grown strong. I never anticipated dieing before assisting in ridding the land of that foul man intent, in the ultimate destruction of the shinobi world as we know it.
“Itachi?”
“Who are you?”
“You must wake-up, Itachi; you will not die today young one.”
“Why? How? I welcome death with open arms. I kept my brother safe, and given the shinobi world years of peace by killing my Clan. I do not know who you are, but my burden has left my spirit weary, and I seek peace.”
“You will not leave Naruto-kun. He is your destiny, Itachi.”
“The dead are not meant to walk amongst the living.”
“You are very much alive, now rise, and meet your destiny.”
“You never told me your name.”
“Amaterasu Sun Goddess and my mischievous brother Susanoo is rather fond of you, and saved your life. Now go.”
And with that she pushed Itachi through his mind back into the world of the living.
The figure rose, and vanished in a swirl of ebony flames.
-Reunion-
“Lies, lies…They’re all lies…..Itachi was not a double agent, and he did not care about his weak, and foolish little brother,” mocked Sasuke unable to believe the man before him. Uchiha Madara. No, no, no, no……I lived for this, sacrificed everything for this. My revenge was for the pride of my Clan, and the blood of my parents. Oh, Kami no please tell me I did not kill an innocent man. My brother, my aniki.
Leaning casually against the stone table Madara regarded his fellow clansmen, “he did not have choice, Sasuke. Either way he lost something, and Itachi was close to losing himself as it was. Your brother loved you Sasuke, and did everything in his power to protect you. Do you think it was easy for him to slay his own parents? Patricide was not an act Itachi wished to partake, but it was him, or something far worse. He chose to assassinate his kin himself. He felt it was his duty that they should die by his hands.”
“He was a true shinobi one of the best. He practically worshipped the Yondamine. That is where his sense of sacrifice came to life. When he sealed the fox demon inside his newborn son, and gave his life to the Shinigami. Itachi understood that required great strength. He wanted that kind of strength. The strength to protect those that are precious to you, at all costs. Protect your precious people.”
He was losing his mind. He killed Itachi only to discover that the death of the Clan was ordered by the Uchiha elders. And the Third was against it, but no-one listened. He felt sick. He was foolish. He is foolish. Naruto’s a much better person than him. He officially labeled himself a Dobe.
“Wallowing in self pity will achieve nothing. You must understand that your brother was a tool, sharp, lethal, and feared. They never saw the child beneath the exterior. How blind was his Clan, his village to the child lurking just below the surface.”
He glanced over to the younger Uchiha reminiscent to a past long gone, and the memories of his brother. The first time he saw the youngest member of his Clan he knew Sasuke was his brothers’ reincarnation, but Madara kept that piece of information for himself.
After-all only his brother could control the Kyuubi.
“What about the Akatsuki?”
“I created the Akatsuki placing Pein as the leader. If word spread that Uchiha Madara was leading an organization comprised of S-class Missing-Nin’s what would happen? All hell would break loose. Oh, and welcome to the Akatsuki, Uchiha Sasuke.”
“Wh-Wait I never said anything about joining a criminal organization. I have taken my vengeance. The goal I set as a child has been fulfilled.”
“Unfortunately, your options are limited. You are considered a traitor to your village, not to mention, you committed a crime by attempting to eradicate the vessel for the Kyuubi. Which, is punishable by death, and you are criminal by association; your pedophile of a sensei, Orochimaru Missing-Nin, traitor to the Leaf.”
“I left for training, for power to defeat Itachi. I never betrayed the village. I never betrayed Konoha.”
“True, true. However, the Leaf village Council of Elders view such incidents in black and white. There are no shades of gray. Your former comrade is an example to that fact. Enough. You will take Itachis’ place within the Akatsuki, and become Kisame’s new partner. I shall take my leave. You are to rest we depart for the base at dawn.”
The elder Uchiha paused at the door-way, “We are Uchiha’s Sasuke, and as an Uchiha you maintain your pride, but above all else you honor your family. Itachi sacrificed himself for your safety. He sacrificed his Clan for the shinobi world. Now you will sacrifice yourself for your brother.” The elder departed leaving the avenging teen to his hollow devices.
Had Madara lingered, he would have seen the younger Uchihas’ last piece of sanity shatter.
-With Itachi-
His sense of perception was compromised, and his vision blurred, but he made it. He was back where it all began. Moving at a methodical pace, Itachi removed his clothing, and thanked every deity for his father building an indoor onsen. Being the head of a cursed clan had its advantages. Donning Fugakus’ yukata, he made his way to his family’s onsen determined to cleanse the evidence of battle marring the pale flesh. Only to discover every scar, every wound healed. The results of his resurrection he presumed.
He relished in the warmness allowing his mind to wander. Considering the options before him, a second chance at life was something he never anticipated, and Itachi found himself lost like a child. Figuring he had seven days at best one to plan, one to convince, and four to travel. The second would be the most difficult, given his stance with Naruto-kun, and convincing him to leave the village for an unspecified amount time, bordered on impossible.
‘So, Naruto-kun you are the child of Destiny as foretold.’
-With Madara-
“Disappearing corpses are not normal occurrences, Zetsu.”
“I placed Itachis’ cold dead body on this very stone slab. I left to feed. Once I returned, and discovered the body gone you were immediately alerted.” The white half spoke.
“This would have been avoided had we eaten him.” The black half chided.
“Silence both of you. His last strongest attack was Susanoo the Deity of Storms, and he used the sword Kusanagi to seal Orochimaru.”
“Yes, but two white snakes escaped.”
“This was unexpected. There is an Uchiha Clan base located on the border of Fire Country near the Village of Sand, there you will, and retrieve the scroll of the three Deity’s. It has a blood seal, and can only be dispelled by Sasuke. Leave.”
‘The prophecy begins.’
