-:Vile:- A brand new day, in a life that you hate

It had been months since they had left the hidden leaf village and Naruto could never remember feeling as good or as accepted as he did at the moment. Itachi never doubted him. Never questioned his decisions. And never looked at him with cold disdain or judgment within his dark eyes. He sent messages to Tsunade every other week. And often times they received messenger birds from the Hokage or Kazekage, Gaara.

They moved continuously around the outskirts of fire countries and winds borders. Killing enemy shinobi that dared to try to cross into the allied lands in their presence. Not because they really cared about the unwanted interlopers but because it gave them something to do and someone to blow off steam and pent up stress upon.

Itachi had become human in the blondes eyes. A quiet and dignified dark haired man with a sharp intelligence and surprisingly crude sense of humor. And he was so very much like Sasuke in so many aspects. From how he held himself to mannerisms to the unique way that he would tilt his head when confused and mulling over something. But at the same time he wasn't like Sasuke at all not really. Perhaps it was Sasuke was like Itachi? He wasn't sure how he felt for the quiet older man or his younger brother anymore. But he knew the man running with him would always guard him and stay by his side now. Without him ever having to ask it of him, he'd be there even if he wasn't wanted or needed. And the blonde would never take his presence or friendship for granted.

Naruto shook his head and laughed in carefree abandon. Breaking from his deep inner thoughts as he jumped along ahead of Itachi through the lush green forest tree tops. His violet eyes shining joyfully as wind tugged at long stands of his golden hair making it whip and dance behind him. Spinning as he jumped, he twisted and twirled with each landing, openly reveling in his new found sense of freedom and brother.

Itachi smirked at the blondes back with amusement flickering in his dark eyes at the blondes childish antics. "Hnn.. Slow down Naruto. Or are you seriously trying to lose me?"

A fanged grin was turned over a lean tan shoulder and directed his way. "Maybe. I mean, you're such a slow poke sometimes weasel man!"

Itachi mock glared at him before grinning evilly. "Well then, I guess we won't be stopping in a town tonight then. I mean after all you're in such a hurry to be no where in particular after all. We must get there quickly yes?"

The blonde growled back at him playfully but slowed his pace. "You know, you can be really evil sometimes Itachi-san."

Itachi tilted his head to the side pretending to not understand the statement.

Naruto jumped higher into the tree tops they were running along before driving and letting himself free fall to a lower branch. "Ah it feels so good to really be free!"

Itachi turned his dark eyes back to the blonde with a sad smile tugging at his lips. He couldn't help but feel that these past few months with his new found friend we're somehow coming to an end. But no matter what happened now he knew that he had been given more then a friendship with Naruto, he'd gained a brother of understanding and similar fate. He'd die for the blonde without question. Because he was the only one who had ever made him feel really alive..

Sasuke Uchiha stood before the leaf village's high council and elders in shamed silence. His long dark bangs covering his eyes that were fixated upon the polished wooden floor he stood on. He was ready to accept anything that they decided to do to him. He knew that he would deserve it even if they demanded for his death.

The head council member frowned at the pale man before speaking "Sasuke Uchiha you have been charged with treason amongst other things. How do you plead?"

Sasuke kept his head down in shame. "Guilty as charged.."

The council members all frowned at that before another spoke up. "Do you regret your actions Uchiha?"

Sasuke couldn't take it anymore as he fell to his knees with his face hidden by his hands as he bowed on the floor before them all. His voice choked as he answered. "More then anything! I was blinded by my own foolishness.. Punish me how ever you see fit. I deserve worse then death."

Tsunade frowned at the raven haired male. She knew what they had decided as punishment. And quite honestly she really didn't like it.

Council man "Sasuke Uchiha you are hereby ordered to hunt down two high S rank missing ninja of Konoha. Naruto Uzamaki and Itachi Uchiha are your intended targets. Failure to do so will result in your bloodline being sealed. And banishment after we forcefully make sure your clans abilities will continue to exist and thrive within this village."

Sasuke looked up at them in utter despair before speaking. "Why can't we let them be? They're no threat to this village. They even protect our out posts in thankless silence as they travel by. They never cause trouble here. And they both swore to help if they we're needed.. Why ask for such useful selfless allies deaths?"

Tsunade shook her head "They don't want them dead Sasuke. Just to return to the village and live here..."

Sasuke stared up in absolute horror at the village elders. "B-but they hate this place! How could you wish to entrap them here that way? Hasn't this village wrought enough suffering upon them?"

Council man "We have confirmed information as to who Naruto Uzamaki is. Would you like to know who his parents were Uchiha?"

Sasuke stared at the man in silent confusion. "Why would it matter now?"

Tsunade "The fourth is his father Sasuke. His mother was a branch house member, Kyaena Hyuuga.."

Sasuke "Naruto.. He's a Hyguua then too?"

Haishi Hyuuga frowned and nodded sadly. "Kind of, it seems his fathers blood was the more dominant. But yes. And he's my younger sisters child. We never knew of her relationship with the fourth nor of the pregnancy or their secret marriage. They were quite masterful at hiding it all from us.."

Sasuke looked up with desperate and hopeful eyes. "She's still in the village then right? And he's not a bastard or orphan?"

Haishi bowed his head before shaking it in open despair. "No Uchiha. She's very much so dead. We all thought she had died fighting from one of the demons attacks. Because her body was so.. So mangled.. But it was done to hide the truth of her giving birth from us. Sasuke Uchiha, I ask you to bring my nephew home. It's past due that he finally has a family. And time that you and your brother mend your ties to one another."
