Naruto woke up in his room the next day, not even remembering falling asleep. Naruto looked around his room and stretched. He looked at his clock and he woke up early. Naruto stood and grabbed some clothes that Kakashi bought for him and walked into the bathroom. Naruto took his shirt and headband off and started the water, filling the bath tub with hot steaming water. Naruto looked in the mirror and looked at his stomach, seeing that the brushes were gone. He could perfectly make out the seal. Naruto's eyes traveled up to his neck to see the curse mark. He frowned and watched it and infused chakra into it, his curiosity peeking up a bit.

Naruto winced and it glowed the color of lava. Marks slowly formed on his skin and it spread across half of his face and a rush of power filled him and Naruto stopped and it went back down. He undressed and stepped into the tub and took a nice long bath.

He finished and dressed himself in some shorts and a black shirt and put in his saddles and walked to the door only to be pulled back by someone. He felt cloth go over his mouth and Naruto screamed and struggled, refusing to breathe. Naruto looked up...and saw his mom. Naruto forcefully moved her hand and cried out loudly.

"HELP SOMEONE PLEASE!" Naruto shouted.

"Tch..." Kushina growled.

She stabbed him in the gut and Naruto stopped screaming and went wide eyed and coughed up blood. Itachi and Kisame appeared and stabbed her in the chest, right in the lungs. Naruto fell to his knees and he started to see dots in his vision.

Jirayia busted the door down and saw two figures vanish and he looked at the screaming and suffocating Kushina. Jirayia was more worried about Naruto and tore the ninja blade from his gut and put pressure on the wound. Kakashi, who happened to be nearby heard the commotion and ran over and gasped. Jirayia held Naruto watching the wound heal itself. Naruto teared up and eyed his mom. He stood and walked to her dying body and grabbed the swords and ripped them out of her. Kushina looked at him and her eyes filled with tears.

"I wasn't able to avenge you...Minato..." she cried quietly.

"..." Naruto eyed her.

"N-naruto...i-if you l-love your father..." she started and held her hand to his face and yanked him down so she could look him in the eye." Y-you better become hokage..." she died, after saying these words.

Her hand loosened and fell to her side and Naruto shook, watching the blood leak out of his insane mother's body. Naruto backed away from her body and Kakashi and Jirayia exchanged looks and looked at her. Kakashi helped Anbu remove the body and Naruto sat on the couch, looking at the photo of his dad and his mom. Jirayia sat down next to him.

"Naruto who were those men that saved you? I want to meet and thank them." Jirayia spoke.

"...I can't say." Naruto said, not looking away from the picture.

"Why not? You can tell me anything." Jirayia said.

"...they don't wish to have their names spoken in public. They said they aren't too keen on meeting new people. And they also said that they would protect me." Naruto explained.

"What do they look like?" Jirayia asked.

"I can't say." Naruto said.

"Naruto! Tell me! They might be bad people." Jirayia was now concerned.

"..." Naruto looked at him with an angry face." I don't wish to break their trust. May I remind you that I hardly have any friends." Naruto said with an attitude.

"Naruto Namakazi! DONT forget you are the junchuriki of the leaf village! Carrier of the nine tails! People! Bad people might be looking for you!" Jirayia growled.

Naruto backed away from him in fear...whenever Jirayia calls him Namakazi, Jirayia is very angry with him. Naruto ran into his room and slammed the door shut. He turned around and yelped but calmed down. Itachi and Kisame were in there, chilling out.

Jirayia walked up he stairs and sighed. He then went on guards sensing two ninja in Naruto's room, the chakra levels being very high and seeming very hostile and dangerous.

"NARUTO WHO'S IN THERE!?" Jirayia yelped.

"Your mom!" Naruto growled.

"Tell me now!" Jirayia demandes.

"MAKE ME!" Naruto yelled.

"Stop being stubborn!" Jirayia growled.

"STOP BEING NOSY!" Naruto snapped.

"I'm only being nosy because I'm worried!" Jirayia said.

"Go stalk young woman you perverted old man!" Naruto yelled.

"You come out here right now Naruto Namakazi!" Jirayia demands.

Kisame and Itachi chuckled lightly. Naruto growled and locked his door. Jirayia banged his fist against the wooden door and Kakashi walked in and walked up the stairs.

"NO!" Naruto yelled.

"Now Naruto! Who are those men!?" Jirayia yelled.

"My friends!" Naruto growled." Now shut up and leave me alone!" Naruto yelled, tearing up.

"Naruto please tell me who they are." Jirayia frowned.

"Go..." Naruto ended up crying, his emotions were wild...his mom in his head. He remembered this happening once with his mother." I'M SORRY!!!!! Naruto screamed and covered his ears." I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY!" Naruto yelled and shool, his heart rate rising way to highc his breathe became heavy and his head filled with painful memories.

Itachi ran to Natutos side and his Sharingan activated and his forced Naruto to look him in the eye.

"IM SO-...ah..." Naruto's mind slowed and his heart rate was forced to slow and Naruto grew tired.

Kakashi and Jirayia were about to break the door down.

"Sh...calm down and clear your mind." Itachi spoke." Just look into my eyes." Itachi said in a soothing voice.

Kakashi and Jirayia froze, instantly recognizing the voice. Naruto's breathing slowed and he whimpered. Kakashi exposed his Sharingan and and he slammed the door open only to run into a bandaged sword, Kisame eying him.

"Not another step closer." Kisame spoke.

Kakashi was fearing for Naruto's life but couldn't help him if he was dead and didn't fight against Kisame, his Sharingan instantly picking up how much Chakra Kisame had.

Jirayia growled." ITACHI! STOP! DONT HURT HIM!" Jirayia yelled and kicked the sword out of the way and was stopped by the water prison jutsu.

"Quiet Jirayia...I'm not hurting Naruto...I'm helping him." Itachi didn't look away from Naruto.

Naruto stated into the red eyed and his own were growing darker and darker until he went blind. Naruto was in a field with trall grass and his dad stood there, hugging him.

Tears fell from Naruto's eyes and they closed. Itachi set him down in his bed gently and Kisame smirked and threw Jirayia into the wall so hard he knocked him out.

"Master Jirayia!" Kakashi gasped and yanked out a Kunai and growled.

Itachi activated his Mongueko Sharingan and Kakashi was instantly paralyzed in fear and he collapsed those seconds felt like days...days of torture. Itachi knocked him out and sighed. He weaved signs and took out the memory of him and Kisame being here from their minds and him along with Kisame vanished.

Later Naruto woke up and smiled. His dream calmed him down he sighed, seeing Jirayia and Kakashi asleep on the ground. Naruto knew Itachi probably erased their memories him being fully aware of what happened even though Itachi used his Sharingan on him.

Naruto dragged them to his couch and laid them down. Naruto made dinner and made them plates. He ate and walked upstairs and closed his door. Naruto winced and felt an ache in his neck and sighed.

*somewhere else*

"Have you found the boy?" A man with ripple patterned purple eyes asked.

"Yes Pain...we found Naruto Uzumaki Namakazi." Itachi said.

"Good...plan to retrieve him." He said and vanishes.

Itachi and Kisame looked at each other alone in the cave they were staying at.

"Itachi...this is a pitty...I have grown attached to the boy...why should we kill him?" Kisame frowned.

"We wont. I too, have grown to care for Naruto." Itachi sighed.
