Naruto pov

waking up i realised that i was swaying back and forth opening my eyes i realised that someone was carrying me, too weak to protest i just allowed the person to take me away.

watching the scenery pass by i thought of why i hadn't eaten in so long, i remember that the past 4 weeks i had felt sick whenever i ate something and i would have to spit it out.

it was just after my 4th birthday that this had started happening, i had shrugged it off thinking its not like i need food anyway, more food means more weight.

but now i was getting worried the last week or so i had started having dizzy spells and all of my scars would hurt like they were fresh the one over my heart hurt the most.

even now the pain was almost unbearable this person carrying me had my chest up against there shoulder pressing against the wound.

as my mind registered the pain i started to whimper biting my lip to hold the screams in.

the figure stopped walking and held me away from them, i blinked once and twice when i realised it was itachi.

i pressed my hand over the wound hoping to ease the pain, this didn't go unnoticed by itachi and he began carrying me bridle style so he didn't hurt me.

we soon passed under the lollipop gates and itachi walked up one of the paths to a house, the streets were deserted as it seemed to be around 8;00 o'clock.

sliding the door of the house open i began shivering at the cold, he walked in and i watched as we went past many pictures, he soon reached the kitchen where a man and a lady were talking at the table.

when they looked up the lady instantly rose hurrying over to me the man strolled over to the cabinet and pulled out a bag of what looked like ointments.

i was only vaguely aware of itachi lying me on a couch i was shivering uncontrollably now and my lips had turned blue.

the lady pressed her hand against my head gently, she withdrew it quickly though and she began making hand signs.

once the hand signs were done i saw her hands glow green and i watched as she ran them over my body her eyes furrowed when she reached my torso.

she told itachi something and he reached down to my shirt, my eyes widened and i weakly held the shirt down.

he looked at me confused but he still kept trying to take the shirt off, all too soon my strength wavered and my hand fell, itachi took that chance and pulled my shirt over my head.

looking down i saw all the scars across my torso the words that made up what i was, the one that read monster was extremely red and handn't closed up properly.

looking over at itachi i saw his eyes wide open with tears flowing down his cheeks

i lifted my hand up to him upset that i'd made him sad he knelt down and he placed his hand in mine squeezing gently.

my lips were still trembling from the cold and i watched as itachi ran his fingers down my skeletal ribs stopping at the word that had FAT carved into it.

i flinched his warm fingers made me feel even colder, the lady had gotten over her initial shock and she began using some ointments on the wound.

the pink ointment she put on seemed to have helped the wound shut but there would still be a scar just like with the rest of them.

my fever was still there but i could still make out words, has infection, needs to eat, fever, only 4

i watched as itachi gently lifted me up and carried me to a room that had a desk full of drawings mostly of crows he carefully set me down on a bed and he laid down next to me, it must be his bed then.

he pulled me close and kissed my head i fell asleep awaiting more of the nightmares.

my dreams began with my friends shisui and itachi they were both running straight at me eyes wild.

they were screaming something and i couldn't make it out they ran straight passed me, when i turned around i saw them both holding the end of a sword out of there stomach.

i started screaming, noo, not them noooo stop, but it was too late they collapsed on the floor blood pooling around them.

itachi opens his mouth and i lean in crying to hear his last words

"wake up" he whispers "WAKE UP" he says again louder WAKE UP!!!

my body bolts upright and my eyes widen when i see itachi holding me against his chest. he started stroking my hair to calm me down.

only now did i notice that i was hyperventilating my breath slowly evened out and i used my chakra to write thanks into his head.

to say he was surprised was an understatement he fell off the bed backwards.

ignoring his surprise i got up staggering a little and held my hand out to him

he took it but lifted himself up without my help, i held his hand and walked out of the room with him, he led me to the kitchen and made me and another person breakfast.

looking at all the food piled on my plate my face paled, itachi noticed and hid the plate behind his back.

it wasn't long before i heard it "ITACHI NII!!!" i spun around quickly slightly surprised to see a young child around the same age as me launching himself at itachi who almost dropped the plate.

itachi then knelt down in front of him and pointed to me, ototo this is Naruto, Naruto this is Sasuke.

smiling widely sasuke spoke " hi naruto, why are you here?"

his curiosity was dampened when i didn't say anything and instead hid behind itachi's leg.

"ahhh" itachi said "i forgot, naruto doesn't speak sasuke but he's here because he was very sick last night"

sasuke nodded, smiled widely and ran over to the table eating the plate of food itachi had set out for him.

i sat as far away from sasuke as i could and itachi sat next to me, he still hid the plate of food and held out a piece of egg on the end of some chopsticks.

i cautiously opened my mouth allowing him to feed me a small amount of egg.

i didn't like the feeling of food in my stomach but i knew it would make itachi and shisui happy.

he then held out another chopstick full of bacon and i ate it feeling full and very queasy now after eating such greasy food.

it had gone down but i could tell that any more would make me throw up.

itachi held out some more egg and i sealed my lips shut shaking my head.

he seemed to be frustrated with me but didn't push me any further.

i felt extremely tired today and decided i would take a break from my constant training.

sitting where i was i began to channel chakra throughout my body itachi watching on interested, i then took of the 10 pounds i had on the gravity seals off.

i instantly felt lighter and i raised my arms to itachi, he didn't seem to understand but he lifted me up anyway.

maybe he will understand what i did if he lifts me? i thought.

itachi lifted me up and his face paled considerably, "gravity seals?" he asked and i nodded.

he put me back on my feet and i waved goodbye leaving through the front door.

the exam for the academy was today and i needed to get my things from my apartment.
