So, I'll be using Yuki if Naruto looks like Yuki btw. Also...Im going to stop using the golds, italics, and underlines. I usually forget because I do it afterwards, but I realized how much of a pain it really is. When they're talking in a different writing style, I'll probably use the golds and stuff.

3rd POV

That night, they both reported back to the Hokage, and their team name was officially Monochrome. As usual, they were doing missions with little breaks. After all, the Hokage would usually only give breaks to them if the missions start decreasing.

-4 years later-
Ages:
Naru: 13
Itachi:17
Sasuke: 14
Yuudai: 20
Aquilo: 21

Children were playing at the park, some pretending to be ninja.

"Look! I'll someday be as great and strong as Raven!" He announced to his friends, his fake kunais being tossed up into the air.

"Raven, as in Monochrome Raven? No way! If you become as strong as him, I wanna become Kitsune! She's so strong, even when she's tired and sick!"

"Or, you two could become both, and then form a team."

"Like the Monochrome 2? That sound so cool I wonder where they got their team names from!"

"What? But even if I could become Kitsune, I'm not a girl. I just wanna-"

"Haha, I really want us to from a team together! We can still both be boys, we can act as cool as they are!"

"Then let's get started with training! Ne, how flexible are you?"

"Flexible? I don't need to be flexible to be Kitsune."

"Uh, yes you do. She's can bend in all sorts of directions! It's like she's made of rubber! I heard that she had to do this really complicated pose for a mission, she had to hide behind a tree for an ambush! That tree was really thin, too!"

"What?! I can barely touch my toes..."

"You're fine! I like you how you are, you don't have to be flexible to be my teammate."

Yuki and Itachi were strolling through the park, and they both heard all of that. Yuki giggled, poking Itachi's arm.

"Ita-Ita."

"Hn." He responded, so far no emotion.

"Did you hear? They want to be the next us. And who spread the fact about me being flexible in the first place?"

"Hn, we should ask Yuudai. He might know. He knows pretty much all of the rumors about you."

"I guess your right, let's hurry up. Yuu-nii might get mad if we skip lunch again."

A shiver suddenly went up Itachi's spine. The last time they skipped...oh dear lord. It was nearly the Uchiha Massacre all over again, except it was targeted at him. Naruto less, way less.

They both look at each other, staring for a moment, and at the same time, they dashed towards the compound. Naruto getting there first, Itachi shortly behind.

They opened the door, and took off their shoes. Quietly, they sneaked into the living room, but they both froze on the spot.

"Aquilo! Wait! We did it last night, I'm making dinner-!"

"Shh, dinner can wait. Those two would skip anyways, c'mere." Aquilo's teal hair was tied back for once, curtesy of Naruto who commented how his hair was covering his lavender eyes.

He snaked an arm around Yuudai's waist, stealing his lips as they kissed deeply. They broke apart a few minutes later, Yuudai panting as Aquilo nipped and sucked on his neck. Yuudai's arm reached out to turn off the stove, and he yelped as he was picked up and tossed onto Aquilo's sturdy shoulders. He was taken by Aquilo to their bedroom... They heard the door lock click.

"I-I-I.." Naruto stared at the spot they were at...the scene playing in his head again.

"An-Naru, maybe we should skip today." Itachi, much like Aquilo, scooped Naruto up into his arms princess style. They felt their ANBU marks burn slightly, and Itachi frowned.

"W-We have to go." Said Naruto with a adorably flushed face. He was lucky Itachi had so much patience and control.

-At the Hokage's Office-

"Kitsune, Raven." He spoke firmly, they got down onto one knee.

"I have a mission for you, however you will have different ones. Raven, I need you to go on this solo A ranked mission. I have no doubt you will succeed, however, it will take you at least a year to accomplish." He stood up, the papers fluttering slightly as the two ANBU stood up as well.

"And Kitsune, I need you to look after my daughter in the A.A. She's told me that she's being bullied recently, and after that is sorted out, you must find a traitor within the teachers. We believe very valuable information about the soon-to-be Genin has been leaked out, I think a village is trying to overthrow us. Maybe an organization. This mission, too, would last a year. Will you two accept?"

They looked at each other. A whole year apart? Can they do it?

Naruto hesitantly grabbed Itachi's hand, gripping onto it. Itachi stared at the mask covering Naruto's face. He knew that Naruto would almost never turn down a mission in respect of Shisui, who also never turned one down. He nodded, as did Naruto in response.

"We...accept." Naruto said, although he could sense the unwillingness in his voice. Maybe they shouldn't....

"Very well, Raven I will be giving you more details involving your mission later today. Kitsune, you will not be receiving any other missions during this one, to better conceal your identity of an ANBU. You will start tomorrow. You are dismissed."

They left the room, sensing Menma yet again staring at Naruto. Itachi's Naruto. Menma walked into his father's office, greeted with a smile.

"Dad, I want Yuki to become my bride."

"As much as I wanted to, I'm afraid you will need her permission first."

"Why?"

"We've agreed to a few terms before she became an ANBU. It's a secret, but if you win her over and she loves you, then I'll support you!" Minato grinned.

Meanwhile, this whole day neither Kurama or Madara could get those two to separate. They were stick to each others sides, both unwilling to spend anymore time apart from each other. Tonight, they even went to sleep with each other on the same bed. It was adorable, if it wasn't because they wouldn't be seeing each other for a year. Actually, they do this every Sunday-

They both slept peacefully that night, Naruto's hair sprawled across Itachi's shirt. It was now longer than before, reaching just about mid-back, maybe a bit shorter. He would have to cut it soon.

In the morning, they were eating breakfast like usual, until Kurama broke the peacefulness.

"Aquilo, give Yuudai's butt a break!"

"Pffft-" Aquilo spat out his coffee. He coughed afterwards, Yuudai hitting his back gently.

"Yuudai, I see that hickey young man. I've already given you two the talk, do I need to drill it into your mind?"

"No no no, I'm fine! Just sore, but just equally as fine!" Yuudai awkwardly reassured Kurama, who just growled in response.

"Then you must be reaaalllyy sore-"

"Don't bring this talk at the dinner table." Madara cut in, stabbing Kurama's cheek with one of his chopsticks. He glared, Kurama just glared back, the chopstick pushing into his cheek painfully.

Yuudai sighed, unconsciously rubbing his back.

"Anyways, this is our last morning with Itachi for now. Let's all hug, it's been awhile."

"HnNn-"

"Hn HHn! Hnn HNN hnn!" Yuudai yelled back at Madara, who just stared at his bowl of rice afterwards.

"Gaki, what the f-"

"HnHnH!"

Naruto and Itachi tried not to a spit out what they were eating. Haha, that's what Madara gets for being such a party pooper. Yuudai yelled at him using the most informal way of speech known to Uchiha, which is also a great insult meaning that they believe whoever they're talking to is inferior to themselves.

"You know what? Group hug, Madara is the middle. 3...2...1... Go!"

"Wait! Stop it filthy humans!"

Madara, uncomfortably and painfully, was squished in all the hugs, Itachi choosing to continue eating his breakfast at the table. Who wouldn't break a few ribs? The Kyuubi, a man scarier than a mother, a man stronger than Tsunade, and Naruto was hugging him. He accepted his fate.

They heard a door open, sleep deprived Sasuke looked over at the mess in confusion.

"What the friggidy pie of Yuudai-kaa-chan is goin on?" He groaned, getting mentally ready for the Academy yet again.

"Sasuke! I thought you left, you're almost late by now." Yuudai peeked over Aquilo's shoulder, Sasuke taking a few seconds before realization hit him. He gasped, slapping his own cheek.

"Crap! See ya!" He dashed out the door, running towards the large, new, white building.

Naruto walked over to Itachi, ignoring Madara's cries of help. Itachi was all ready and prepared, he stood up to out his plates in the sink. He felt arms wrap around him, a mop of white hair underneath his arms.

"I'll really miss you, Ita-Ita." He mumbled into his shirt, the hug only getting stronger.

"Me too, angel." He let that last part slip.

"Huh? What'd you call me?" Naruto questioned the other, looking up as his seemingly innocent eyes stared into Itachi's.

"N-Nothing? Oh would you look at the ANBU mark, Hokage-sama is calling for me! Bye!" He patted his head, kissing Naruto's forehead as he dashed out with a blushing face, leaving the others behind.

Naruto stood there for a moment, his cheeks becoming more and more red by the second.

"Naruto? Are you going out as Yuki now?" Yuudai asked his little brother, giving him his bento wrapped in a cute polka dotted, light blue piece of fabric.

"U-Uh.." He remembered a certain night...

"An---, your hair is so unique. It's beautiful...I wish you'd show it to the others more."

Ah, why now? It was the second time he had called Naruto Angel- by accident, however to Naruto it was the first. He thought he heard Itachi say that at night, but he thought he had misheard it.

"Actually, I think I'll just go out like this."

"Hah?!" Everybody turned to him, shocked clearly on their faces. Madara was let go of, as he fell to the wooden floor.

"Oh course, give me another name."

"Ooh, do Aki!"

"Do a unisex name."

"Ichigo?"

"Snowflake child."

Naruto thought for a moment, listing through names he currently thought about.

Itsuka...

That name seemed so familiar, yet at the same time it seemed so unusual. Where has he heard it from?

"Itsu..." He stopped himself, while the others just stared at him.

"I..tsu? Itsu, well I guess I like it."

"Itsu it is! Go on, Sasuke's on his man period, so piss the hell out of him."

"Hn, I'll still call you my little dear brother, Naru-chan! But Itsu is fine, where did you hear it from?"

"Hn. Hn!"

Naruto waved goodbye, preparing to leave until he heard a shout from Yuudai.

"Wait! Sasuke forgot his lunch, can you give it to him?" Yuudai half ran half limped over to Naruto, holding a pure black covered bento. Naruto took it from his hands, and said goodbyes again.

Now then...let's see how much the Academy has changed. Or, the new one.

Naruto wandered towards the direction he smelled Sasuke's scent. His nose can do that, it might even be better than that Inazuka clans' sense of smell. He walks onto the school grounds, taking in his surroundings.

It's empty, class must've started. He shifted uncomfortably. It's one of the first times he hasn't been on a genjutsu out in public. He might just change it, there's still time. He sighed, he really couldn't do this, and was about to place the genjutsu on when he felt his body suddenly lose its control.

He blinked a few times, then forcefully started moving, and kept on moving until he ripped out of whatever jutsu was used on him. Probably a Nara. He's already trained to fight against these jutsu, this one was particularly weak. A student.

"Hey!" He turned towards the sound of the voice, his white hair waving through the air elegantly. He saw a pineapple- a student, crouching down. He knew he was there, but he had to hide all of his skills that were deemed too advanced. Funny, seeing as this is the advanced academy.

"How'd you do that? Anyways, what are you doing on school grounds? Unless you're the new student." He got up, dusting off his pants. A few leaves sticking in his hair.

Naruto, by accident, switched his emotions to non talkative, shielded, and stiff. He could now control his emotions better, so he quickly switched it off and instead acted extremely guarded. It came with the no emotion power, and it was useful but accidents occur from time to time.

He took a step back, and continued walking towards the entrance, the black bento held closely to him. He didn't need food, but he knew Sasuke did.

He walked in, feeling the presence of the Nara behind him as the woman at the front desk stared at his hair. He walked up, and politely asked,

"Excuse me, I'm the transfer student, can I please have my schedule?"

One thought sprung into her mind. 'Weird. What's up with her hair? Is she a...monster?'

She quickly handed him the paper, being careful not to touch his soft, pale hands. He checked it real quick, memorizing it as he headed towards the class. Again, the Nara is following him.

He stopped, and turned around to meet eyes with the boy. The Nara's eyes widened at the beautiful yet unusual colors shone from Naruto's eyes. Never had he seen eyes this color, or this unique. An icy, pale, periwinkle with hints of very light purple, a slightly darker shade of blue speckled around his iris. Nobody would have noticed if they hadn't stared directly at them.

"Why are you following me?" He questioned, and the Nara shrugged, looking away at Naruto's eyes.

"My class is in that direction too, I'm just heading there." Naruto turned around, and continued walking towards class A-3.

They soon arrived....at the same door. The Nara opened the door and walked in as if it was nothing, but Naruto felt the anxiety spike as his heartbeat rapidly sped up. What if it was like before? What if everybody would hate how he looks? He's such a weak ANBU, his looks are unruly.

"You're so beautiful, Naru."

Itachi's voice echoed in his mind, and his heartbeat slowed down.

"You want to know why I hang out with you? Why, that's simply because I like you for who you are; you're an inspiration."

"Don't hate your looks, look at this amazing hair, skin, and those lovely eyes of yours. Nobody else has it, you're special. You're Naruto Uchiha."

"I wish you'd show me yourself more often, I can't help feeling drawn to you."

"Don't let them get to you, just listen to me, that's all you need to hear."

"You remind me of a dove, so elegant, pure, kind...a white dove."

Those words repeated in his head, and his cheeks tinted a light pink. How much had he relied on Itachi's sweet words? But, he won't be there for him for awhile. It's the first day, he can make it through it.

"You can come in now." He heard the familiar voice of Kakashi say, and he took a step in, only to step right out. The students could only see a glimpse of his white hair, but Sasuke recognized it almost instantly. He nearly shot up from his desk, but refrained with the excuse of:

'He doesn't go to the A.A, he's an ANBU. It's possible that somebody played a prank on us.'

"You're the strongest, sweetest, and bravest person I know."

He took in a deep breath, and walked in. The students stared in awe, some of jealousy and disgust, but mostly of awe. Of course, it couldn't even compare to Kakashi's hair. It was much more beautiful in a way, it look extremely soft.

"I-I'm-"

"Naruto?!" Sasuke yelled, standing up abruptly as his hands slammed on the table. All do the fan girls felt their heart shatter. Sasuke knows this extremely good looking person, is she his girlfriend?! Wait...

"Naruto? As in, Naruto Uzumaki?" Shikamaru asked him, and Naruto shook his head.

'Sasuke, whyyy?' Naruto groaned, trying to play off him reaching for his kunai instinctive after hearing the sudden loud noises.

"No, I'm Naruto Uchiha." He corrected and placed the bentos in a better position.

"Ok then, Naruto-San, please sit next to Sasuke. I'm sure he'll be fine to show you around, right Sasuke?" Kakashi asked, his eyes showed mischief.

"Of course, wait- oh, I forgot my bento. Thanks, Naruto-chan." Naruto made his way to the seat, multiple glares poking at him, yet he was unaffected. He placed the warm bento in front of Sasuke, and sat close to him.

It's been awhile since they've gone to class together. It's truly nostalgic. The fan girls growled at how close he was, hoping Sasuke would push 'her' away. But as the time passed by, their anger went up a notch as Sasuke didn't do anything about it. Rather, he scooted closer! They watched as Naruto whispered something to Sasuke, who grinned.

They couldn't stand it anymore. They started whispering back and forth, and Kakashi noticed this.

"Ki- Naruto, Sasuke, are to tell us why you guys are laughing in my class?"

Naruto nodded, and stood up, reciting what he was talking about unusually happily.

"Who knew Kaka-Baka could actually teach? I thought you would be reading that book you never showed me, but here you are talking like a human! Hn, poodle, Hn hnNn."

Kakashi groaned, the class expected him to have a month worth of detention, but was shocked at Kakashi's response.

"I thought we got over the...poodle thing. Sit down, as long as you pass I don't care what you do anymore."

Naruto sat down, Sasuke poked his tickle spot, and he tried to not laugh out loud. Instead, he lightly banged his hand on the table, creating a mini crater. Oops.

"Naruto! I understand but- you know what? Class, you guys have free time. I need my precious books and dolphin." Kakashi sighed, sitting down at his desk.

The fan girls immediately got into action, forming a plan to get Naruto away from Sasuke.

"So, Naruto, I'm assuming you're a boy?" Shikamaru asked, who was sitting in front of him and was currently turned around.

"Yep! I'm surprised, you're one of the only people who found out at first glance!"

"N-No, sorry. Naruto is a male name, but I thought you were a girl up until now. It's shocking, really." Shikamaru took out a Shoji board out of nowhere, and Choji started playing against him. Choji lost within minutes.

"Hey, let's play a round." Shikamaru offered, and Naruto nodded his head ok. His genius mind way above their best strategist.

A few minutes later...

"Won!" Naruto cheered, nearly bumping into Sasuke. But he did get a face full of hair.

"Watch it, Dobe. Your hair might be soft, but it's still bothersome."

"Sorry...Sasu-nii." He apologized, and sat down to braid his hair. He found it relaxing, not to mention these things normally don't happen when he braids it.

"Oi, hoe." One of the girls, cough cough, banshee said, stomping in front of Naruto like she was a gorilla. Naruto paid no mind, continued to braid his hair as Sasuke tried to fight against Shikamaru. He lost within minutes as well, and he nearly destroyed to poor shoji board.

"Oi! I'm talking to you!" The girl's brown pigtails bounced, looking absolutely frazzled and poorly taken care of as she slammed a fist on the desk. Sasuke look over, getting ready to punch-

"Sasuke, it's fine. And you, pigtails made of rotting hay." His eyes gleamed an emerald green, which frazzled Shikamaru. 'Wasn't his eyes blue? They are...but now they're green?'

"Excuse me? Sasuke-sama, you're just going to let this stupid hideous girl insult me like that?!" She shrieked, Sakura looking over at the commotion after hearing a fellow distress call.

Suddenly, K.I flooded the area the girl was standing in, Naruto, or should I say Yuudai, made sure it was only directed at her.

"You're treating him like a god now? Ever heard of conditioner, banshee? You know, the stuff that might be able to make your hair look like hair? Ever heard of toothpaste or mints? What about Chapstick? The amount of makeup on your face is like the amount of food you eat every day.

If Naruto is considered hideous, you must be lower than the god damn small amount of waste he makes. No, everything Naruto touches is prettier than you will ever be, including our toilet. Piss off, don't act all high and mighty. I bet a blinded baby bird could beat you in a battle." Yuudai growled out, an overall sweet yet scary smile making this angelic face seem deadly.

Shikamaru took a few steps back. This didn't seem like the Naruto he knew of or played in the sandpit with those years ago.

Sasuke sighed, and flicked Naruto's forehead harshly.

"Yuudai, this is class, go away." He spoke calmly, but feared for his life the moment he imagined stepping back into the house.

"Tch, if you don't want me to interfere then you better use that voice of yours to do what I'm doing. Don't act like it isn't your problem, it's not my fault if I kill another banshee. So go ahead and roast her to ashes if you don't want me here. Bye, and eat your veggies young man-!"

"Ok ok!" Sasuke raised his voice, watching as Naruto's eyes closed and opened again, revealing his normal periwinkle eyes. He rubbed them a few times like he would when he wakes up. Shikamaru analyzed the situation, thinking about what that was.

"Eh?" Naruto looked at the crying, shaking, and scared as hell girl in front of him. He nearly mistook her for a boar. Everybody started screaming, and Naruto jumped back.

"Oh my god! She peed herself!"

"Ewww! Get the janitor!"

"We don't have one here! Get one of the freshman!" A pink haired banshee screeched.

"Take my extra gym clothes!"

"Ewwww! I stepped in it!"

"Hey! My 10000 ryo shoes! I'm telling dad to send you back to the academy for potty lessons!"

The girl dropped to her knees, shaking and trembling at the traumatizing event. That K.I was suffocating.

"D-Did she just fall in her own puddle of filth! Ew, get away!"

"Ugh! She's such a baby! I don't want to see her again!"

"I need to go to the bathroom, I don't feel so good..." Sakura attempted to look like the sick maiden in need of help, but just stomped to the bathroom after nobody paid attention.

"W-What happened? Who took over, Sasu-nii?"

"hHn hNNn Hn."

"Oh...again?"

"Class is dismissed! Three of you must stay behind to clean up the mess! Be responsible for your own incidents, no freshman are to be involved."
