What You Want...

Hi! Weeell here's my ItaSai. I give you fair warning the characters are out of character so I must apologize for that in advance. Although this is ItaSai, Sai doesn't show up until later on cause Itachi has to be escorted from Iwa no Kuni to Konoha. Also I suck at writing fight scenes so please bear with me on this. And just so you know, I utterly despise Hidan, he's number three on my list of most hated Naruto characters. I thought he was cool before he killed Asuma but after he killed Asuma all minor admiration for him died a swift and bloody death.Now onto the warning for the whole flippin fic.

WARNING:This fic contains a romantic relationship between two men and there will be sex in later chapters. So if that ain't your thing hit the back button now. If you read anyway please don't flame the pairing, flame the authoress all you want but not the pairing.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto nor do I make any money from this fic.

"Eh? I'm sorry Baa-chan. I thought you said that Itachi is innocent of his clan's massacre."

"I did," Tsunade mentally counted down from five. 'Five...four...three...two...one...'

"WHAT!"

And there it is.'

"Sit down and listen because I'm not going to explain this twice."

She waited until Naruto sat down then, began her explaination, "Itachi was not the one who killed the Uchiha clan, he was actually on a top secrect ANBU mission when it happened. Sasuke was placed under a genjutsu to make him believe that his brother had killed the clan. When Itachi returned it was decided by the council that they would use the perception that he had murdered his family as a cover so he could infiltrate the Akatsuki. He was partnered with a Kirigakure spy who was recently killed by Yakushi Kabuto. Because his partner is dead, it is safer for Itachi to return to Konoha than it is for him to remain in the Akatsuki. You will escort him from a small village in the far Northwest of Iwa no Kuni to Konoha."

Naruto stared at her incredulously, "Tell me you're joking."

"I'm not."

"You want me to escort Itachi to Konoha. For the last several years he's been trying to capture me or rather, at least according to what you just told me, pretending to. He's put me under some very nasty genjutsus and you think I can just calmly escort him for god only knows how many days until we get here?"

"Calmly no, but you are the best ninja I've got and since the Akatsuki will be after him, the best is required."

Naruto pinched the bridge of his nose, "Alright but only if you swear that your paperwork won't pile up while I'm gone, since I'm the one who has to deal with ti these days."

She smiled, "It's the least I can do brat. Here are the details, good luck."

Naruto took the mission scroll and left the office. 'What a pain in the ass.'

early morning before dawn

Itachi stood at the crossroads where he was to meet the Konoha ninja who would escort him back to Konoha. 'I wonder who the Godaime sent. Hopefully not Hatake-san.' He broke out of his thoughts when he heard someone approaching. He watched a man appear out of the darkness. His long blond hair shone in the moonlight and his blue eyes seemed to glow iridescently. If Itachi had been anyone else he would have shouted in disbelief, however being who he was, he merely raised his eyebrows. 'She sent him?'

Naruto scowled at the former Akatsuki member in front of him, "If you're done gawking at me Itachi, we need to get going."

"I don't gawk, Naruto-kun."

Naruto grabbed Itachi's shirt, yanked him forward, and growled in his face, "Do not call me that. You can call me just Naruto or Uzumaki but you haven't earned the right to call me Naruto-kun. Do you understand me Uchiha?"

Itachi nodded, shocked speechless by the icy venom in Naruto's voice. The angry blond released him and started walking away, "Good. Now let's go."

Itachi got his belongings and followed Naruto.

They stopped to eat around noon and Naruto stared at Itachi, "Why did you agree to spy on the Akatsuki?"

The Uchiha blinked, the question had come out of nowhere and was the first thing Naruto had said since that morning.

"Does it matter?"

"Let's see, if you had stayed and let Sasuke know that what he'd seen had been genjutsu, he wouldn't have been so obsessed with vengence, he'd never have gone to Orochimaru for power, and he wouldn't have tried to kill me, so yes it matters."

Itachi raised an eyebrow at the derision that was practically dripping off Naruto's words. He sighed, knowing that if he didn't explain everything now, Naruto would be asking questions about the events of fourteen years ago the entire way to Konoha and Itachi prefered to travel in silence.

"I was trying to protect Sasuke. Orochimaru was the one who slaughtered my clan and I didn't want Sasuke to go after him in the impulsive, hot-headed way he always did things. If he had then Orochimaru would have killed him. It never occured to me that Sasuke would be stupid enough to actually join Orochimaru."

Naruto had a major 'what the fuck' look on his face, "Orochimaru murdered the Uchihas?"

Itachi nodded and watched as Naruto's face clouded with a fury that was frightening in it's intensity. Naruto closed his eyes and suppressed his anger. When he opened them his expression had cleared. Itachi was facinated by the change in the blond. Naruto frowned at Itachi, "Why are you staring at me?"

"You've changed, matured."

"No! Really? I had to grow up with you and the rest of the Akatsuki after Kyuubi."

"Hn."

They finished eating and got underway again.

Itachi was irritated by the one thing he'd never believed could irritate him, silence. Since the conversation about why Itachi had agreed to spy on the Akatsuki, Naruto hadn't said a single word. For two weeks Itachi had traveled with the Kyuubi vessel and delt with hostile silence. It was becoming intolerable so Itachi did something completely out of character, he tried to start a conversation.

"Uzumaki."

Naruto stopped, turned towards him and raised an eyebrow in inquiry.

"Why are you being so silent?"

"Because I have nothing to say to you," the blond faced forward and began walking again.

Itachi nearly grabbed Naruto's shoulder and spun him around to demand that he speak to him, but, with a huge amount of self-control, he managed to continue walking impasively.

Suddenly Naruto spun around and ran at Itachi, knocking the older shinobi on his ass six feet away from his previous position.

"What the hell?"

Naruto stood with his back to Itachi, a kunai in each hand, and a triple bladed scythe quivering in front of him, right where Itachi had been standing. 'That is Hidan's weapon. So they've finally caught up.' He activated the Mangekyou Sharingan and identified three chakra signatures hidden in the trees. Just as he was about to tell Naruto their locations, the blond launched a kunai at each one of the hidden Akatsuki members, surprising Itachi in the process. 'How did he know where they were?'

Deidara, Hidan, and Kakuzu lept out of the forest, "Itachi-kun, we will kill you and capture the jinchirukii to extract the biji. Un."

Naruto smirked at Deidara's statement, "Unfortunately for you, both of those things are impossible now. Kyuubi and I have merged, he's a part of me now, not simply a biju sealed within me. And with me here you won't be able to kill Itachi."

All three nuke-nin and Itachi stared at Naruto in shock at his casual announcement of the merge with Kyuubi.

Itachi got to his feet, "Uzumaki-san, do not let Hidan taste any of your blood, it would enable him to put you under his jashin curse."

"First, I already knew that, courtesy of Shikamaru and second, he won't even be able to bruise me, much less get me to bleed. Now shall we begin?"

Deidara reached into his ever present bag of clay, only to jump back as Naruto threw a small group of shuriken, severing the bag's strap. Naruto created a Shadow Clone to retriev the bag and Itachi used a Katon on the bag, destroying the clay. Deidara's face twisted with fury.

"Itachi you will die."

Naruto rolled his eyes, "No shit moron. Everyone dies eventually but Itachi isn't going to die here today. That privalage belongs to you guys," and he picked up Hidan's scythe, throwing it at an immobilized Kakuzu and slicing him into several pieces, destroying all his hearts. Itachi had used Tsukiyomi to immobilize the money obsessed nuke-nin.

"Uchiha don't use that damnit. I don't need you to immobilize them and I know that thing is a major drain on your chakra. Besides that Hidan son of a bitch will just get off on it."

Itachi ignored him and used Tsukiyomi on both Deidara and Hidan at the same time.

Naruto cursed the stubborn Uchiha as Itachi cut off Deidara's head. The black haired shinobi collapsed, unable to move after using the Mangekyou Sharingan the way he had. Itachi watched as a blurry Naruto summoned a toad and asked it to spit some acid for him. He then trapped Hidan in the acid using a modification of the Water Prison that didn't require he keep a hand in the acid.

Itachi passed out just as Hidan began to scream in agony, inhaling the acid, which began to eat away at him from inside out. Naruto watched dispassionately until Hidan was nothing but a mass of liquified flesh and bone, then he neutralized the acid and used the resulting disgusting liquid to fertalize a nearby tree.

Naruto walked over to where Itachi had collapsed, looked down at the Uchiha, and sighed. He picked Itachi up, slung the unconscious brunette onto his back, and went looking for a safe place to wait for him to wake up.
