3rd POV

The moment Naruto opened his eyes again in the morning, he noticed something fairly odd. Everything felt numb to him, as if he weren't part of this world. He sat up, staring at his pale blue sheets. The pain was gone, he'd eaten the fruit, now what? He's supposed to return to his duties tomorrow, and the whole process of missions, family time, sleep, and breakfast would repeat.

He stared at the mirror, unsure of what to do. He got up, changed into some comfortable clothes, and headed outside. It's still only 4 in the morning, plenty of time for a walk.

Sasuke was sleep deprived. He didn't know why he was awake, he just missed his dear little 'brother' I guess you could say. He knew by now that Naruto woke up early, very early, so why not wake up even earlier to see him? He hasn't seen him lately, Naruto has been confined to his room for about a day now, he's starting to worry.

He heard the door creak slightly, and he jumped up from his seat at the table. That's probably him!

He watched as a bundle of white hair stumbled his way out, and Sasuke looked at his dead eyes. What happened in there?

"Naruto?" He got up for his seat, heading towards the albino. He looked up, and responded without much emotion. Very strange.

"Oh, good morning, why are you awake right now?" If Sasuke didn't know that something had happened in there, he would've thought he was just receiving the cold shoulder. Let's call it a Uchiha sense, much like his Tomato sense.

"Why? I just didn't see you for awhile, that's all." Sasuke puffed out his cheeks like when he did when he was younger. Ah, the Tsundere side of him is starting to kick in.

Naruto would've felt guilty, of course Sasuke would have worried about him. He's hasn't seen him in awhile, plus he's able to tell a lie from miles away. It all comes from ANBU interrogation missions. But, for some reason, he didn't feel anything at all. He hated it, he wouldn't know if he hurt the other's feelings if he remained like this.

"I'm going for a walk. What about you?" He sighed to himself, he didn't like this feeling of emptiness very much.

"I'll come then, let's go before Nii-san wakes up!" Sasuke dragged Naruto behind him, hurrying them out of the compound. Naruto took the last few moments of being in the house to make him appear like Yuki, the last time he forgot was engraved into his mind.

The two spent the morning walking around, getting attacks by fans, and training. It was a typical day, nothing too exciting but nothing too boring.

The moment they stepped foot back into the house, the smell of breakfast hit their noses. As well as one of the most rowdy mornings these past few years.

"Oi! I said I called dibs for Yuudai's blueberry pancakes! Get your filthy Uchiha hand off of them Madara!" -A.O

"Hn?"- M.U

"That's a bit-" -I.U

"Shut it! I was born to fight, fite me son of a-!" -A.O

"Shut up before I give these to the freaking forest! You get what you get, Naru-chan and Sasuke are still out! HEY!" -Y.S.U

"Wifey~!"- A.O

"Wifey? As if! Incompetent piece of-" Y.S.U

"Well, I see you've come at the perfect time, you two." -I.U

"Did you just touch my-?!" - Y.U

"LANGUAGE! I HAVE A HEADACHE, NOW SHUT UP AND EAT!"

The house was now silent, and Kurama was slumped over the table. Fork and knife in hand, his eyes showing dark bags underneath him as his usually smooth and straight hair was all messy and ruffled.

Naruto stared at the situation, he didn't knew if he should leave it be or stop them. He noticed Sasuke slowly scooting towards the door again, attempting to make his way out of this mess before getting caught-

"Hey, you two, breakfast, now! You guys still have to eat, come here!" Yuudai yelled at the two without even glancing in their direction. Today, people seemed to be on their period. Everybody seems to be extra moody today, with the exception of Naruto and Aquilo, the first being unable to feel emotions while the second wasn't an Uchiha.

Sasuke "Tch"ed and walked towards the table, crossing his arms as he sat himself next to Itachi. The seating so far goes like this.

Madara, Kurama, and an empty chair to the right side.

Aquilo, Itachi, and Sasuke sitting across from them on the left side.

And two seats at the end, one for each side.

Two seats extra, perfect for a guest of two which would most likely never step a foot into this place without a Uchiha companion. Or Naruto. Naruto is the best choice to ask if you could come over, but beware, he will ask everybody else first.

"Hey, Naru-chan, hn HnNn hHn?" Yuudai placed a plate full of blueberry pancakes in front of Sasuke, Naruto didn't move from his spot.

"...Hn hHnN hNN Hn." Naruto replied, and he took his seat at the table as a plate of pancakes were placed in front of him.

"Now, I have no idea what you guys were saying since I'm not a freaking Uchiha, nor do I understand it, but you love training, right Naruto-chan!" Aquilo stuffed a few pancakes in his mouth, and then saw a shiny green kunai against his throat. Haha, the usual...

"Manners." Yuudai clenched his teeth, placing his kunai pack into his pocket.

"Right, right. Sorry, now hurry up Naruto so we can train! You can control your emotions afterwards so you can feel happiness and sadness! Aren't you excited- oops. Forgot."

"Tch, it's not healthy for him to cram food in his mouth!"

"I think you forgot that Naruto is quite different right now, dearest." Yuudai stared at his feet, not bothering to respond as he grabbed some breakfast for himself. Ouchie, Aquilo, you hit a sensitive spot.

Naruto stared at him, a blank face like how it's been during the whole morning. Itachi felt uncomfortable, he was so used to Naruto smiling at everything. It seems weird that he's not, something inside him just clicked. It felt like...worry? Or was it...

"S-Sorry! I'm sorry! Not the blueberries! I'm begging you! PleASEEE!"

Splat.

-a few hours later-

"Ita-Ita! Doesn't this butterfly look so pretty!" Naruto exclaimed, the amount of happiness was practically radiating off of him in waves.

Well, Itachi's worries are over. Now his dearest little albino is back to how he was earlier. He can finally hug and cuddle-

Itachi and Naruto's ANBU tattoo burned slightly, signaling that they were being summoned by the Hokage.

Dammit...

They hurried to ANBU headquarters, Naruto putting up his genjutsu along the way. His eyes started to dull until they seemed almost lifeless while they tinted purple. Now, he couldn't feel any of the most common human emotions like happiness, sadness, anger, hate, laziness, anguish, or even desire. He's was partially a doll now, and Itachi hated it as much as Naruto hated the feeling of not feeling happy emotions.

The appeared in front of the Hokage, bowing down as they dropped onto one knee as they were told to do by the Hokage himself. A little stupid, why bow when receiving orders like a dog? Soon after, their other two teammates appeared, doing the same as them.

Minato furrowed his eyebrows, where is Crow at? He shouldn't be slacking off, he usually comes at the same time Itachi and Yuki does. They're from the same clan and house after all.

"Kitsune! Stand." Naruto did as he was told, and stood up immediately afterwards, face still down.

"Where's Crow?" Minato questioned, more like demanded.

Naruto could feel some emotions slipping in, the memories of when he found out his brother...

"Kitsune! Answer me!" Minato yelled, Naruto barely even batting an eye. His eyes showed some life in them, the purple tint lightening.

Itachi grit his teeth and stayed still. How could he yell at Naruto as harshly as he did just now? He's younger than Minato's two children, tch. He doesn't even yell at the others like he does with Naruto, he's just being targeted.

"Hokage-sama, I'm afraid-"

"Afraid? You shouldn't be afraid, your an ANBU member now. Act like one." Minato crossed his arms, cutting Naruto off as glared at the mask. He didn't know why, maybe it's because this person got his dear daughter scratched by drawing during class, but he felt anger whenever he talks or even sees Yuki.

"Hokage-sama! Let me talk! Crow..he died two days ago." Minato's eyes widened. Did she just yell at him? Raised her voice at the Hokage? Not to mention she said that Crow died, it can't be true.

"Nonsense, Crow didn't die. Raven gave me a report, it said nothing about him dying. Are you lying to me?!" He raised his voice, Kakashi was tempted to try out his new jutsu on his own sensei, but went against it.

"Sorry, may I speak?" Itachi cut in, standing up as he faced towards Minato.

"Of course, go on, Raven." See? The tone difference is insane. Itachi doesn't know why he acts like this, it reminded him of a certain two faced blonde that thinks she's the boss of Yuki.

"Crows death is...true. It was after reporting the mission, we got ambushed by many high ranking ninja wearing masks. We weren't at our best due to the mission we had previously completed. Although we took out most of them... I'm sorry to say that Crow committed suicide for the protection of certain people in the village."

Itachi's eyes flashed to a blood red, nobody except for Naruro noticing it. He flashed through a bunch of hand signs, and Itachi memorized it, feeling a bit less riled up afterwards which was good. Naruto signed to him 'Don't, it's not worth it, he's not worth it.'

Minato sighed, and leaned against his chair acting as if he's been drained from talking. The large stack of papers on his desk just made him even more tired, even by looking at it.

"Is that so... I guess I'll have to announce some changes now that that's cleared up. Dog, snake, take off your masks." He ordered, and they did as they were told.

They're masks came off, revealing their, so far, emotionless faces.

"Anko, you'll be moved to the T&I department-"

"Yasss! Did ya hear that, chibi! You were right!" She celebrated, tossing her hands up in the air. She smiled and laughed, shaking Naruto's shoulders a bit.

Minato coughed a few times, silencing Anko's little party. She looked like a kicked dog, and quickly went to hug Naruto. Itachi got jealous, again. He wanted to do that!

"Kakashi, you'll be teaching a new batch of students in the A.A. Advanced Academy, something we're going to start doing since we've been having so few Academy students graduating to genin, and then dying during missions. These classes would last when they're 12-14, so they'll be older when taking the chunin exams as well as more skilled."

Minato left out the part about how their genins' skills were also below the other villages; he blames the C. council for complaining that their children were facing life and death situations during classes. Not to mention they were pushed to their limits, they called it "Child abuse!"

"Yes, Hokage-sama." He politely replied, groaning on the inside. 'I have to watch brats now? Kami, have mercy on me.'

"Now, you two." Minato turned to face Naruto and Itachi.

"You'll be forming a team by yourselves, a duo. You can also name your team whatever you want, I'll give you tonight to decide. You are all dismissed!"

Anko practically flew out the window, shattering the glass.

Kakashi shunshined to his house.

Itachi and Naruto were about to walk out using the door.

'The diversity is crazy.' Minato thought as he stared at the stack of paper he didn't want to sign and read.

"Otou-chan!" The door suddenly slammed opened, Itachi was the furthest away, but Naruto was closer. The door slammed into his mask, breaking it somehow. Minato must've given him one of the older, weaker versions.

Naruto tried the catch all the tiny pieces, his face now revealed to whoever just opened the door. Itachi was quick to hug him from behind, and shunshin them to the compound.

"O-Otou-chan?" Menma stuttered out, Minato staring in shock.

"Yes, dear son?" He put his pen down, smiling kindly.

"Who was the pretty girl just now?" He blushed a bit. Although it was only for a second, he already saw her face, and he thought it was absolutely beautiful.

Minato frowned, but replied to him nonetheless.

"Her name is Yuki, the girl who gave your dear sister a paper cut." He went back to signing papers, and the reason why Menma came here was forgotten.

'Yuki? Maybe I'll ask Otou-chan to make her my bride later on, she's really pretty.' He walked out the room, multiple people bowing in respect as he passed them.

-at the U.C-

Naruto breathed out a sigh of relief. He was about to shunshin back here as well, but Itachi beat him to it. He guessed having no emotions at the time makes your reaction time worse since you wouldn't care as much.

"Thanks, Ita-Ita. I'll have to work on my reaction time when I'm using the fruit's power now." He thanked him, smiling as he allowed the genjutsu to drop.

"Hn." He responded, although you can't see due to his hair, his ears turned a light pink. He's Itachi, he can force the blush on his face to go to his ears!

"Are you embarrassed, Ita-Ita?" Naruto leaned towards him, Itachi feeling his cheeks start to flush as well.

"Hn." Itachi responded quickly, turning away from Naruto in his best attempts to not become the 'always sick' Itachi from a few years ago,

"That's a lie, you always respond using the Hn language whenever you're embarrassed. Anyways, what do you want to call our team?" Naruto put on his adorable thinking face, he doesn't know he's doing it, and it just makes it that much cuter. Itachi stayed quiet, thinking.

"Let's see..I have white hair..you have black. Grey?" Naruto said to himself, but Itachi could hear him clearly.

"Shisui-nii also said if we were to combine our names, it would be Itanaru...but then people might find out, so that's a no. Ne, Ita-Ita,  what's a name that has something to do with us?"

Itachi thought for a moment.

"Yin and Yang? Opposites? Hnn, there's a bunch of weird names I came up with."

"It's ok! List them all!"

"Hn, ashes. Monochrome...actually that's a good one. White and black, also grey."

"I love it! So then Monochrome?"

"Hn, maybe."

A/N:

Do you guys agree with Itachi? Is it the best team name, and no I'm not using Itanaeu because people will find out Yuki is Naruto and that would mess up the plot, monochrome?

Or would you guys just want simple grey, when there's frickin Monochrome. Makes sense, black and white mix together to make a pretty picture, in this case, a great ship. And I also like it..what am I doing?

Anyways hope you enjoy, we're going to be reaching the middle point of the fanfic soon. After that, most of the ship and love will take action.
