“Talk”
´Thoughts´
The day before Itachi killed Shisui:
“WHAT!! You of all should know well what kind of day tomorrow is, right?” Fugaku almost jelled at his oldest son. His wife Mikoto gave her son an indifferent glare from her kneeling position next to her husband.
“You don´t understand where your position is…”The clan leader growled disappointed at his son.
“Tomorrow I have a mission to do.” Itachi said coldly.
“What mission? “ His father asked.
“Well I can’t say… It´s an absolutely secret mission!” Itachi told his father. ´I can’t tell him that I´m actually going to see Naruto instead of attending to anther one of their stupid and traitorous meetings and listen to their plans to use my Naruto to gain more power… how pathetic… our once proud and strong clan has been reduced to this… this weak and pathetic group off cowards that wants to use an innocent and warmhearted boy to do the dirty work for them – instead of using the powers given to them from birth in an open fight. I´m not letting them get away with it! ´
“…” Neither Fugaku nor Mikoto said anything.
“Itachi… you are the backbone that connects this family to the village… you have to be a useful connection. You understand that… right?”
“Yeah… father!”
“Impress them well and come to tomorrows meeting! Your connection to the demon is crucial for our takeover of the-“
“Sasuke… go to the bathroom and quickly go to sleep” Itachi cut his stunned father off. Neither Fugaku nor Mikoto had noticed that the small boy had been listening to their conversation from outside the door. ´I don´t want you to hear this conversation, Sasuke… you’re probably already wondering why we sit here in the darkness. You’re such a naïve kid… I guess I have to force you to open your eyes to the cruelty off the would soon.´

Next day:
Itachi returns to the Uchiha compound after he has skipped the meeting to be with Naruto. His clothes are still slightly moist from his encounter with Shisui.
´I really need a hot shower and some dry clothes! ´ He moved through the house towards his room while avoiding any kind of contact to anyone.
Once inside his room, he stripped of all of the wet clingy clothes and stepped into the shower.
“Mmmmm good!” Itachi mumbled as the hot spray warmed and massaged his sore muscles. His hands found their way to the pale gray tiles as lowered his head to enjoy the comforting warmth.
´Why didn’t you put up more of a fight? Why Shisui? Why didn’t you use your shunshin no jutsu? You would still have lost…but it seemed like you… let me kill you… but why would you do something like that? ´ He sighed. There was no point in thinking about that now.
Shisui was dead by his hand… and because Itachi had killed the one person he called friend he had received the ultimate power of the Uchiha clans bloodline; the Mangekyo sharingan.
´Maybe I should have said yes, as Naruto-kun asked if he could come along with me. He is too good and strong to stay here with all those who hate him without even knowing who he really is. I might be good for him to travel the world at my side… we could do great things together! ´ He rinsed the shampoo from his hair and finished his shower.
´No, Naruto has to endure this part of his life… he has to become stronger on his own. He has to learn what hate can do to people… what it’s all about! Naruto… I know that you happy face is just a lie; a façade to hide the pain inside of you… you are going to become a strong companion.´
Itachi stepped out of the shower with a smile on his face. He grapped a towel and wrapped around his pale hips. ´I’ll better get dressed and go to the Hokage. Sarutobi-sama is already expecting me! ´
As he dressed himself in his usual black shinobi uniform, he could hear that his father left for work.
´Good! Then I don´t have to talk to him right now,´ Itachi couldn’t stand to be around his family anymore, his mind was set on the plan he made for tonight… soon it would all be over… and Naruto and the city would be safe… for now!

“… Dads always going on about you… all the time.” Sasuke walked to stand right behind his older brother on the porch. Itachi was about to leave the house and was putting on his sandals, he turned his head to look at Sasuke.
“Am I… unpleasant?” Itachi asked, still looking at his younger brother.
“…!”
“That’s not so bad… shinobi usually live as hated people, because they’re said to be a problem.”
“Such… such a way…” Sasuke stared at the wooden ground beneath his feet. Why was Itachi saying something like that?
“He… he, to be top notch, is really something to think about. To have strength, means you become isolated, and become arrogant” He gave his little brother one of his rare smiles. “although at first, you can only sought for what you had dreamed for…” ´but dreams are not always going to come true… you sometimes have to destroy one thing to save another… and Naruto is more important to me than these people who calls themselves my clan… my family.´
“…” Sasuke just stared at him in confusion.
“Is Itachi here? Come out NOW! We need to talk!” Both Itachi and Sasuke turned their attention to the rude words. Tree men in black stood at the gate to their home. Itachi recognized them; they were from the police force – his father’s employees!
Itachi rose to his feet and walked to meet the tree rude men. He glared at them with annoyance and crossed his arms above his chest. ´They’re not even hiding their anger…I know why you are here! ´ he thought.
“What is it everyone?” Itachi asked coldly.
“We had two men missing at last nights meeting… Why did you not come, Itachi?” Growled the leader, who was also a distant cousin to Itachi called Yuki.
“…” The Uchiha heir gave the tree men a boring glare. ´I never planned to go, you moron… like I´m going to listen to their bickering and foul plans to kill Naruto and Sarutobi-sama! ´
“I can understand that you’re been occupied with various missions since you joined the ANBU… however! We have no intent on treating you any differently!” Yuki hissed.
“I understand… I’ll be more careful from now on… please leave!” How dared they show up here to mock him like this? Itachi was fuming on the inside but continued to show them a cold and emotionless expression.
“Yeah… but before we do, there’s one more thing you have to answer.” The officer with the blonde hair told him.
“….” Itachi regarded him coldly. Guess they wouldn’t be going anytime soon.
“It´s regarding the suicide by drowning in the Nakano river last night… of Uchiha Shisui!” The blonde grabbed into one of his pockets and took out a folded piece of paper.
“…” Itachi raised a brow in surprise. ´A suicide note? ´
“The other man that did not arrive last night was Shisui. I thought that you… considered Shisui as a brother…” Yuki glared angrily at Itachi.
“I see… I haven’t met with him recently… that is sad to hear,” Itachi lied.´ What is this about a suicide note… are they making this up to catch me off guard? ´
“… so, we the police force have decided to investigate the incident fully…” Yuki said with a smirk.
“… An investigation?”
“This is Shisui´s suicide note… we already finished with the handwriting analysis… it’s no doubt his writing!” The blonde officer handed the neatly folded paper to Itachi.
“If it’s suicide, what’s left to investigate?” Itachi took the note.´ they know I did it… they just can’t prove it! ´
“For those who can use the Sharingan, it’s quite easy to forge one’s handwriting!” Yuki growled as Itachi unfolded the note and read:
I´m tired of the duties… there’s no future for Uchiha… and for me… I cannot walk out the “path” any further…
“…” Itachi´s crimson eyes widened as he read the scribbled lines. ´ did you plan to die at my hand, Shisui?´ He raised an eyebrow as he saw the left edge of the note… a part of the paper was missing; had they removed it or was the missing part hidden somewhere for only him to find?
“He was feared as Shisui of the mirage, one of the most talented Uchiha… he was someone who’d do any mission for the clan!” The blonde man said with a cold tone.
“I doubt that a man like him would leave something like this behind and die.” Yuki stared at Itachi´s cold expression, waiting as if he expected some kind of reaction from the Uchiha heir.
“… it’s not wise to judge others by your preconceptions and their appearances!” He gave them an angry glare. They were really starting to piss him off. How dared they claim to know anything about Shisui or Naruto!
“I´m going to leave that will to you… take that to the ANBU and request that they investigate as well!”
“Understood, Yuki!” Itachi followed them with his eyes as the turned to leave.
“We, the police force, have other connections to the ANBU as well. If you try to hide anything, we’ll know right away!” The last one of the tree men said as he turned his back on Itachi.
“… Why don´t you be more direct?” His grip on the suicide note grew stronger from the anger that roamed through his body. The tree men stopped and turned their attention to the Uchiha heir with angry expressions on their faces.
“So you are suspicious of me?” Itachi growled as his crimson eyes turned red. The three dots graced his black irises.
“Yes, brat!” Yuki snarled.” Listen Itachi. If you betray the clan, you won’t go unpunished… do what you are supposed to do and force that damn demon-“
Itachi rushed forward punched each of the three men hard in the guts. His movements were so fast that they didn’t have a change to defend themselves and was punched out through the gates.
“As I said just now… don´t judge other’s simply by your preconceptions and judgment’s for their appearance… like you assumed that I had patience!” Itachi towered above them with a grim expression on his face. He wanted to kill them – they really thought that he would let them order him around!
“You all fail to measure you own capacity, and to see the depths of my capacity… and as a result you lie beaten here at my feet!” Yes, he was going to kill them all… but not now… tonight, yes tonight! “You hold on to the organization, your clan, your name… these things limit us and limits our capacities… these things deserve to be shunned! It is foolish to fear… what we have yet to see and know!”
“STOP, Itachi!” All who was present turned their attention to the man who had just arrived at the scene. “What in the world is wrong, Itachi? You’ve been acting strange lately!” Fugaku asked his eldest son with a worried look on his ageing face.
“Nothing is strange, father… I´m just carrying out my duty!” The proud teen said as he grabbed a kunai from his pouch and threw in at the wall behind him; hitting right in the middle of one of the fans that decorated the wall. “… I’ve lost all hope for this pathetic clan… you forget what is most important to you, because you cling to something small like your clan. True change cannot be made if it is bound by laws and imagination!”
“What arrogance!” Fugaku growls angry at his son.
Itachi could feel the power of the Mangekyo sharingan roam through his body; filling him with a delightful feeling of hate and bloodlust. He heard his father excuse his son’s behavior to the officers.
´How pathetic, they provoked me and now this person (his father) is making excuses on my behalf – such a weakling! Perhaps he should just kill them here and now… he was strong enough to take them all on at once – and if not he would still have done enough damage to the clan that they would drop the idea of taking over the power of the city; and leave Naruto alone! ´ An evil smile crept to his lips as he clenched his fists.
“STOP! ANIKI!” the cry from behind him brought him back to normal. Itachi turned his attention to the small boy that hid behind the gate.
´Don´t interfere Sasuke! ´ he jelled at the boy in his mind.
But his little foolish brother was right; this was not the time. He growled on the inside as he dropped to his knees and bowed to his father and the three officers.
He heard himself make the same stupid excuses as his father had. Hate filled his already cold heart as he heard his father make more excuses and begged… yes begged the officers to cut him some slack.
Fugaku bowed to his staff members as they left before walking past Itachi who was still on his knees. Red swirling eyes bore hatefully into the back of the Uchiha leader as he walked into his home.

But his little foolish brother was right; this was not the time. He growled on the inside as he dropped to his knees and bowed to his father and the three officers.
He heard himself make the same stupid excuses as his father had. Hate filled his already cold heart as he heard his father make more excuses and begged… yes begged the officers to cut him some slack.
Fugaku bowed to his staff members as they left before walking past Itachi who was still on his knees. Red swirling eyes bore hatefully into the back of the Uchiha leader as he walked into his home.
