Naruto panted as appeared in a red flash in front of Satomi's house, dropping on his knees instantly as his Kyuubi chakra faded away.

"Damn...that bastard..." He grinned maniacally, sweat dripping down his face.

He groaned as a crack was heard from his back, his broken bones slowly healing.

His finger twitched.

Blood....he wanted blood.

He was craving that thick liquid on his fingers so bad, again.

He chuckled, red eyes shining.

Almost like a puppet, he stood up, swaying. 

His katana was summoned into his hand.

He walked on and on the path.

Left hand clenching so tight that blood was oozing out of his palm.

On and on he walked.

He didn't care if his legs hurt like fuck from walking three days straight.

"Yeah."

On and on he walked.

"I'll kill you someday..."

His grin spread wider as he saw the gates of Konoha.

He raised up his katana, channeling wind chakra to it as the dust on the ground was blown away from the chakra.

He ran forwards.

"It's a promise, ne?"

A black robe with red clouds swayed as Tobi stood up.

"Huh, where are you going, Tobi?" Zetsu asked. 

"To Naruto Uzumaki," Tobi narrowed his eyes.

"Oi, Izumo....you feel that chakra?" Kotetsu asked.

"Yeah..." Izumo narrowed his eyes. "Stay here, I'll go check it out. Be back in 5 minutes."

Kotetsu nodded. "Careful....it's a strong chakra."

Naruto's eyes widened as he felt a pat on his shoulder.

"Huh.....you again."

"Naruto."

"Just fuck off....Itachi," Naruto growled, his single Kyuubi eye shining red.

"I can't let you go," Itachi narrowed his eyes.

Naruto scoffed. "Since when did you care? Let me do what I want."

"I'm not letting you destroy Konoha...." Itachi muttered. "And I can't....have you dying."

Naruto smiled.

He then laughed. "Now...that's funny Itachi-nii...." He spun around and gripped Itachi's wrist tight. "Because I remember you were the one who left me to die."

Itachi's eyes widened as he sensed a chakra signature approching them. Channeling chakra to his body, he shunshined the both of them to an empty area.

Naruto narrowed his eyes, swinging his katana at Itachi, cutting off the Uchiha's head only for the body to turn into a flock of crows.

"Already...?" Naruto muttered. 'I lost to Tobi easily......fighting Itachi will be hard if I don't use it.'

He smirked. 'Well I wasn't taking the fight with Tobi seriously anyways...'

His eyes shifted to the sharingan.

"Sharingan......he found out about it," Itachi muttered to himself.

Holding his katana up in a fighting stance, Naruto charged.

Itachi flashed out a kunai and blocked his attack with a kunai, only for his kunai to crack slightly. 'As I thought...He's channeling wind chakra to his katana.'

His eyes widened as he heard the noise of a jutsu powering up behind him. Dodging a few shuriken thrown by the Naruto in front of him, he slashed at the blonde only for him to burst into smoke.

'Kage bunshin...!'

Blood was spat out of his mouth as he was smashed into a tree by a rasengan from his back.

'I'm glad I took Minato's scroll...' Naruto narrowed his eyes at Itachi who shakily tried to stand up. 'Now...where's the real one....'

His eyes widened as he was stabbed through from the back with a kunai.

'Genjutsu.'

Shakily putting a single hand up in a handsign, his sharingan spun. "Kai!"

He dropped to his knees, clutching his stomach as he stood up with his katana as a support. 'As I thought...fighting him isn't easy at all.' Naruto's eyes narrowed as he glared at Itachi who was standing under a tree.
