My Chibi Dobe

Chapter 5 “Traveling Into the Past”

Itachi led Sasuke to the middle of the living room where he had two meditation mats laid out. They sat facing each other and activating their Sharingan just like in their training they had done countless times over the years. Both sets of Sharingan began to spin faster and faster and Itachi began the hand signs for the Jutsu.

“Kioku Genkaku no Jutsu!”

Sasuke watched the world around them and melt away in a red haze. He closed his eyes feeling dizzy and off balanced when he opened them he saw they were no longer in the cabin but what looked like a park in the middle of the village. He remembered this park was close to the Uchiha compound. The wind was blowing it was a cool spring day and there was birds flying over head.

“Where are we?”

“Not where are we, but when are we, Little brother. This is 14 years ago when you and Naruto first met. Over there is Naruto, as you can see it is just him and Iruka-sensei. I am pretty sure if there had been any children here they were taken away by there parents once they saw Naruto coming.” The Uchiha brothers watched as Iruka tried to cheer the chibi up by playing with him in the sand. “And here we come. It’s hard to believe we were ever that small and what a brat you were.”

Sasuke watched as a nine year old Itachi dragged a four year old pouting Sasuke to the park. He also saw Naruto perk up as he saw them approach the sand box where he and Iruka were playing.

“Sasuke stop pouting Okaasan wants you to play with other children. She says it’s not healthy to train all the time.”

“That’s not what Otoosan says.”

“Otoosan also says we have to listen to Okaasan.” Itachi smirked as his little brother couldn’t argue against that.

“Ohayoo Itachi-san.”

“Ohayoo Iruka-san this is my Otouto Sasuke. Sasuke this is Iruka-san he is also taking the chunin exams.”

“Shouldn’t you be training then?” Glare Sasuke.

“Oi bwat! My Ruka twains hard all the time!”

“Dobe. If he wants to pass he should train.”

“I not a dobe. You awe. Bet you can’t catch me.”

“I can too! You’re a slow dobe!”

“Twy it!” and chibi Naruto ran off with chibi Sasuke right behind him.

“That’s how it all began. You being the same little bastard you are now, and him being the happy little Sunspot.” Itachi and Sasuke watched the memory play out neither wanting to end the cherished childhood dream.

“Iruka Sensei looks so young yet so tired.”

“It was hard on him to raise Naruto by himself. He had to use a hedge to even go grocery shopping for them or they wouldn’t get any fresh food. His missions were low pay they couldn’t afford much I think that’s why they mostly ate ramen because it was cheap and didn’t spoil. Iruka-sensei had to pass the chunin exams as well as train and look after Naruto with no help from anyone. Not many were willing to baby sit for the Container of the Kyuubi. Also Naruto was a handful and he was quite clever too. He would get into everything if you weren’t watching him. He was a prankster even in his chibi years because he didn’t like anyone but Iruka-sensei to taking care of him. I do remember that Kakashi ended up watching Naruto for the first two exams then he went to the mission office and requested a mission to block out the trauma of babysitting the Sunspot. Look, here comes father.”

“Itachi! Sasuke! What are you doing here?”

“Okaasan wanted me to take Sasuke to the park.” Suddenly Itachi was slapped hard in the face as if had just said a curse word. The older Itachi flinched at the memory and rubbed the phantom sting of his cheek.

“She didn’t tell you to bring Sasuke to the Demon! Take your brother home I will take care of this filth.”

“Hai Otoosan. Come along Sasuke.” But the chibi could move and ended up being dragged home by Itachi.

“Uchiha-sama! Leave Naruto alone he’s just a boy. He is Not the Kyuubi and he never will be. So just leave him be before I go to the Sandaime.” The teenage genin stood in front of the Clan-head in defiance.

“Are you threatening me? You’re a genin and one of Orochimaru’s snakes you should have been kicked out of the village when he went Missing-nin you and that Traitor Mitarashi. You are nothing but trash not worth the air I breathe let alone be worth my time. I will show you never to come near my family again. SHARINGAN!”

Iruka’s body froze for an instant before falling to the ground with his eyes still wide open and lifeless.

“RUKA!” Naruto ran to his fallen father and tried to shake him awake but it was no use. “Why you huwt Ruka?!”

“I didn’t hurt him you did Demon. If you weren’t he wouldn’t be Hurt. I will show the pain you cause this world. Sharingan!” Naruto’s ocean blue eyes were caught in the blood red swirling eyes. Then his little body fell on top of his father’s his eyes just as lifeless. “Never come near my family again demon.”

Sasuke and Itachi watched as their most hated father left his two victims lying helpless on the ground. Shortly after Fugaku was no longer in sight they saw young Itachi come running back to the park. They watched as Itachi moved Naruto off Iruka’s chest and then he removed the jutsu from the older genin.

“Take it easy Iruka-san you will fell sick for a while that was a very strong genjutsu.”

“I’m fine. Where’s Naruto?”

“He’s right here I will remove the jutsu now. I wasn’t sure how he would react so I woke you first so you could be there for him.” Iruka nodded and picked up Naruto placing him on his lap and Itachi began to remove the jutsu.

“Alright little brother here it comes. Hold on the memory is going to change and we are going to see Naruto’s genjutsu.” The world around them went into a haze once again Sasuke closed his eyes and went he opened them the sky was red the village was on fire and there were men, women and children covered in blood lying dead in the streets. Then they heard Fugaku’s voice air.

“This is ‘What’ you are demon. You are a killer and you caused their deaths.”

“NO! No, no, no, no!” The Uchiha brothers looked into the fire and saw what was suppose to Naruto on his knees and his face cover by his blood cover clawed hands.

“But it’s true Demon this is your future. You killed my son!” Naruto looked up and look in shock.

Itachi and Sasuke were able to see is whiskered scars had darken, his teeth became fangs and his eyes were blood red, his ears were pointed and he had a bushy orange tail. They watched as he got up and ran to a fallen body.

“Sa’ke! No I Don’t Do It!”

“You did! Everywhere you go you kill and destroy lives you even killed your friend. The one who took you in out of pity and this is how a demon thanks his caregiver.”

“I DON’T DO IT!!!”

“No? Then look behind you demon. Watch as you kill Iruka-san with your own claws.”

“Ruka?”

The scared Kyuubi container turned from Sasuke’s dead body to slaughter behind him. Naruto saw himself in demon form attacking Iruka who wasn’t fighting back but screaming “Why Naruto? I love you! Why are you doing this?!”

“Cause I can.” The Demon Naruto replied before slicing Iruka’s throat wide open with its tiny claws. The Demon Naruto laughed as he licked his claws.

“NOOOOO!!! DAAAAADDDDDDDDYYYYYY!!!!!!!” Naruto ran to the fallen body. His eyes stared into the dead eyes of the only one whom he thought was his father and the only one who loved him. Naruto saw the look of unconditional love still on father’s face even as he died he still loved him. “Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! I SOWWY! I SOWWY! I SOWWY! DADDY I SOWWY! I SOWWY!”

Sasuke couldn’t take anymore of this hell he was about to go over and comfort the chibi but was held back by Itachi. Before he could ask why Young Itachi phased into the genjutsu. They watched him run over to the crying screaming chibi and released him from the jutsu. At that time Older Itachi ended his own jutsu.

The world around them hazed until phased into complete darkness. Sasuke woke from the jutsu to find his face wet with tears and his brother in deep sorrow and anger at the man that they had once called father. Sasuke knew the man could be cruel but what he just saw was monstrous. Fugaku Uchiha had accused his sweet innocent and lovable dobe of being a demon when he in fact was the monster.

“After he returned to compound he erased your memory of that day and Naruto. You were forbidden to leave the compound without him or Mother to watch you. He never trusted me with your care after that. It was a week before I saw Naruto again and even though he was smiling he wasn’t the same after that. The Little sunspot got over it eventually but I think it might have been Kyuubi repressing the memory.”

“I have never hated him as much as I do now.” hissed Sasuke his Sharingan was spinning wildly. “Naruto will never come near me out of fear for that man. How am I going to get him to trust me if he thinks I am that Man?”

“I don’t know otouto. The only way for him to remember you is either find a cure or wait for him to grow up again because he is too traumatized to use the Sharingan on him again.”

“I can’t wait that long. The Kyuubi did say there might be someone that could help Named Kurai, Sukora have you heard of her?”

“Oh yes Otouto I have. I even met her once.” Itachi chuckle as he got up from his meditation mat; and walked over to the couch where he had placed his cloak. “If she didn’t have green eyes she could pass as our sister.”

“Our sister?!” Sasuke jumped up from his mat and ran to where Itachi was putting on his cloak.

“Yes, she is as arrogant, prideful and powerful as either of us and a genius. She is strong trains as much as we do if not more and the only one to make a crack in Sukora’s icy shell is our own little Sunspot.” Itachi smirked then in a rare show of affection he touched his forehead to his brother’s. “I have to go or Kisame will start panicking. Take care Otouto and take care of our Chibi Sunspot. Cause without him our world is a cold dark place.”

“I will Aniki. I promise.” And in a whirl of Leave Sasuke was left alone once again.

Iruka and Kakashi watched a sleeping Naruto with a sleeping Oushi curled on the rug beside the bed and two goldfish swimming in the bowl Kakashi won on the nightstand. They smiled as the backed out of the room quietly closing the door behind them. Despite the trip to the Hospital that morning it had been a perfect day. They hadn’t seen Naruto this happy since he passed the genin exam and found out Kakashi was his jonin leader.

“I still can’t believe he got two fish in one scoop.”

“I told you he was determined to win. And you won a beautiful bowl koi.”

“Maa, Maa, Sensei you make me blush.” Kakashi flirted as he held his husband tight from behind and nuzzled the Chunin’s neck.

“Hmm, Kashi, I’m so happy right now. I have you and we have Naruto home with us I don’t think I can be any happier.”

“Then why do you sound so sad my dolphin?”

“Because we can only keep him for a week and this dream will end.” The jonin turn the Chunin in his arms so that they were face to face before pulling down his mask.

“Listen Iruka because I am going to say this once. I know it hurt you when Naruto moved out, but that didn’t mean he stopped loving you. In everything and everyway, but blood he is your son and he always will be. No matter where he goes or how old he is he will always love you. Yes, we only have this week with him and we are going to make it the best week ever as a family. I won’t let you dwell on his leaving we are gong to enjoy the time we have now. Okay? And don’t worry so much we will see him in the village with the others and as long as Anko doesn’t baby sit him again he’ll live through this second childhood and the separation time.”

“You’re right Kashi. I promise no more gloomy thoughts we will enjoy our time with our son. And it was your idea to let Anko baby sit him the first time around so don’t blame me for that. I spent at lest a 100 yen spackling and painting the walls because she thought it was a good idea to teach a 3 year-old how to throw shurikens.”

“Oh, I forgot about that. I was thinking about the time you were on a mission and I had to go to ANBU meeting I asked her to watch him at my apartment and she set my kitchen on fire.”

“What?!”

“Shh… you’ll wake the chibi. She was trying to make him some Ramen but the stove wouldn’t light.”

“I don’t want to know how she tried to light it. New House Rule! Anko is not allowed to watch Naruto ever! Even when he is returned to normal I don’t want her near my baby!”

“Okay My Dolphin, whatever you say. Now it’s time for bed Naruto wasn’t the only one who had along day.” As if on cue Iruka yawned.

“Yes we are all tired and we have another big day tomorrow. But as long as I can sleep in your arms I will be well rested for tomorrow.”

“Aww, only sleep?” The pouting Kakashi whined.

“Ero, yes only sleep.” the teacher laughed as he led his husband to their room and to the bed where the cuddle together like cats. Then he kissed the unmasked cheek and said “I love you koi.” before drifting of to sleep.

“I love you to my wonderful Iruka. We will have a wonderful week with Naruto I promise.”

AN: Well another chapter done. I must admit this one was a little hard for me to write. I was tearing up as I wrote it. (sniff - wipes the tears away.) But anyways since I have been using some Japanese words and phrases I thought I would give definitions. Some one had asked me what Henohenomoheji was and that got me thinking. Not everyone knows Japanese or are Naruto mega fans. Well I kicked myself for that one so I’m giving definitions to my most common phrases. If I add any more during the story I’ll let you know. Thanks for reading Keep Reviewing.

Henohenomoheji – All of the Ninken have a face-shaped design on their backs called Henohenomoheji (へのへのもへじ), which is the sound made when all the characters in the face are put together. Appropriately enough, children use this design as the face for their scarecrows, which is Kakashi in Japanese.

Okaasan - Mother

Otoosan – Father

Otouto – Little brother

Aniki – Big brother

Oushi – Bull ( which is the real name of Kakashi’s large Bulldog summons. I just thought it sounded better in Japanese)

Ohayoo – Morning

Hai – Yes

Arigato - Thank you

Kioku – Memory

Genkaku – Illusion
