Chapter 8
A/N: I'm soooo sorry about not uploading last week. I got caught up in a few problems and hadn't had the chance to finish this chapter. However, the next chapter will be out tomorrow. Also, how did we hit 20k reads? I'm pretty sure we just passed our 5k-10k milestone...HOW? Ohhh my gosh. Ok, enough of me, let's get on to the story!
P. S: I made Itachi act a little but more nervous since I felt like he would realize how much he missed Naruto after they parted ways. This is also when Itachi's feelings start showing a bit more than before.
Kami= God
Yuudai= 'Yuudai'
Kurama= 'Kurama'
Onii-chan and the honorific 'nii'= big brother
Otouto= Little brother
3rd person POV
Naruto stared blankly at the sky...wait...the sky? A look of confusion made its way to his small pale face, and soon enough, he called out to the person who he saw as an elder brother.
"Kura-nii?"
'Ah, Kit, well...things happened- stop it you brat, that's mine!"
'K-Kura-nii?" Naruto, thinking Kurama was talking to him for obvious reasons, had tears welling up in his eyes.
'Shi-oot. No no no, Kit. I wasn't talking to you. We seem to have a...visitor I guess you could say. I was talking to him! I swear, I really did, I would never yell at you like that. Stop crying plz, omg halp, stoppu, nuuu.' Incoherent words escaped the nine-tailed fox's mouth, which actually succeeded, for once, to put the albino's tears to a rest.
'Tch, stupid fox! Why is my precious little otouto calling you big brother? I'm his big brother! Naru-chan, do you remember me? I'm your actual onii-chan' The other voice in his mind came as a shock, after all, he was used to just hearing Kurama's voice.
'Onii....chan?' He questioned the unfamiliar voice, however, he seemed to have somehow sparked happiness in his so called 'Onii-chan'.
'That's right, that's right! I'm your Onii-chan! I'm soo~ sorry your Onii-chan couldn't come help you any sooner. That fox bas- basket...yeah... basket -sorry- didn't exactly realize that I was sealed into you until yesterday. I can't believe I was sitting in a seal for a month!' He started to talk about other things, such as questioning him about his memories, jutsus he liked before, his favorite food- which hasn't changed at all, and how he looked exactly as cute as he did before. All of which Naruto either didn't understand or gave a small nod showing that he slightly understood.
'Oi, he probably doesn't even know your name. Introduce yourself.' Kurama spat at him, glaring holes through him as well. Kurama being Kurama, was shocked to receive another glare back at him. Nobody- and I mean nobody dared to glare at him right after he did.
'Tch, shush it fox. Anyways, Naru-chan, I'm Yuudai if you don't remember. You see, it's a long story, but we used to be brothers. You used to call me Yuu-nii and it was so adorable! I missed when we were still living our not so peaceful- what? Naru-chan, there's a person in those bushes over there. Be careful, if you want I'll hop out of this place to fight them.' Yuudai started rambling again on how he fought people in the past, and Naruto listened intently to all of it. He paid more attention to the bushes that his big brother told him about, because he felt this presence before.
He got up from a small cushion made of leaves, probably his brother's doing- which he should thank him for soon, treading slowly to all the bushes. Pushing away some of the leaves as gently as he could, he saw wide onyx black eyes staring back at his light periwinkle ones. After a few seconds of staring at each other's eyes, the Uchiha hastily got up and brushed off the leaves laying around his clothes, trying to act as cool as possible for his (future wife) new friend. Itachi, however, didn't know why he was trying so hard to impress a 4 year old.
"A-Ah, you found me. I wanted to surprise you, b-but I see that didn't go well. So, how's your day so far?" Itachi mentally slapped himself. He sounded so stupid, and he probably looked flustered, too. Well, plan A: 'play it cool' just flew out the window. Now for plan b:...he didn't come up with a plan b?
Are you serious? After spending half of the morning practicing what he would say, he screwed it up and didn't have a plan b? What was plan b? He had 3 plans, 3. What happened to them? Why can't he remember, just think of something cool to say. Or maybe something funny? God friggin' dammit what was plan c then. Plan c was.....oh! Engage in a not so usual conversation. Okay, all he had to do was say something about stuff they like, or something that would entertain Naruto. Ummm, he knew Naruto liked plants and animals. He likes the color blue and he enjoys eating berries. Ok, he totally got this. What came out of his mouth was extremely unexpected though.
"H-Have you seen that frog laying around on a rock 2 miles north of here?" What was he saying? He felt blood rush to his head and he faced the ground in embarrassment. He could try the next sentence, maybe that'll cover it up. He looked back at Naruto with a tomato for a face trying to attempt to cover up his mistake, repeat, attempted.
"I noticed a blue bird singing like a dying duck on my way here. My little brother ran away from it and it chased his head? Wait...that blue bird was in a pond...and it wasn't very blue...oh. N-never mind! It was a duck! A duck! The duck sounded like a dying duck- actually that would make sense. It sounded like a horse?! You know what, kami please just kill me now, I can't stand the embarrassment." Itachi covered his face with his hands, praying that something would end his misery. He felt a small tug on his pants, and looked down to see a giggling Naruto.
"Haha, silly Ita-Ita. Ducks don't live in that pond, they live in the lake a long walk away from here. That's a pond for animals to drink in, there's no food for ducks there."
Then, Itachi slightly paled at the new information. How far did he walk then? If the lake was a long walk away from here as Naruto stated....then how did he not care about walking here from that far away? He promised to play with Sasuke too. Oof, he's going to be mad.
"You know, there was this goat s-swinging its head around like a piece of rope. A-Also, I saw a green snake kiss a tree, and a dog tried to s-swim on the ground. Then this chicken hopped over an invisible b-branch-." He slapped himself this time, and decided to keep the remains of his confidence as a 'cool' person. His face felt like the sun, and you could notice a little bit of steam coming off from him.
"Why did Ita-Ita hurt himself, are you ok? Should I heal you?" Naruto started healing his cheek, but you can't tell the difference between that cheek and his other cheek. They were both the same color.
"Y-you know what, let's just get ice-cream together, ok Naruto?" To be honest, he tried really, really hard to act normal, but his heart was just beating too fast for that.
"Ok, Ita-Ita!" Naruto cheerfully responded back at him, and they made their way back slowly to the village. Naruto was greeted with hateful glares, while Itachi was greeted with his usual (ugly monsters) fan girls.
