You woke up as you felt a soft hand touch your face. You opened your eyes to see a sleeping Rai unconsciously grab your face and smiled.

You noticed Kakashi putting his headband on and that he was fully dressed.

"Are you leaving for another mission?" You yawned as you rubbed your eyes. Kakashi turned back to you and smiled as he sat next to you.

"Unfortunately, yes. But don't worry, I'll be home again before you know it." Kakashi spoke as he pulled the cover over you and Rai. You smiled and nodded your head. Kakashi pulled his mask down and gave you a kiss.

"I love you, (Name)."

Those last words from Kakashi continued to repeat and echo as you went back to sleep. After fighting the reality of the fact you were in a fake world, you eventually gave in. Slowly forgetting your actual life and living in bliss with everything you've ever wanted. Your parents, family, friends, and feeling the warmth of being home.

When in reality, you were sitting on the ground of a cave as two people stood over your unconscious body.

The man in the robe laughed as a snake appeared from under the robe and grabbed (Name). The masked figure watched the lifeless expression in your face but quickly refocused on the man beside him.

"Looks like it's time to finally begin. I'm sure (Name) will be plenty useful. Although, I am surprised by how reluctant you are with using her, Madara." The man in the robe chuckled maliciously.

"She is not to be used in battle. She is the contingency plan I have set up if the Gyuuki and Kyuubi prove too difficult, Kabuto." Madara said as he began to walk towards the exit of the cave.

"Once you send the reanimated and hidden (Name), meet at the designated area to further discuss the plan." Kabuto only grinned and licked his lips as he Madara disappear.

~ Time Skip ~

(Name) had been walking around the village with Kushina as they were spending the day together. It was bright and warm, the weather soothing, and (Name) could not stop smiling.

Suddenly, you felt a shiver go down your spine. It almost felt like someone was watching you. Using your instincts, you looked around your surroundings. You were in public at the village streets with many people passing by you.

You began to believe that it might've just been your imagination until you locked eyes with someone along the busy crowd. Their face was covered but the only thing that made you turn pale was the fact you were looking into a very familiar Mangekyo Sharingan.

'Itachi...' you thought until you felt a sharp pain in your head. You had a sudden rush of memories come into you head as you remembered that nothing was real here. You quickly looked to see the mysterious person gone but notice instead a crow flying in the direction that you knew too well.

"(Name) honey, are you okay? You don't look so well..." Kushina spoke with worry as she held your face. You began to realize that you were with her and laughed nervously as you tried to act 'normal'.

"I'm sorry, mom. I just remembered something really important I have to do. Would you mind picking up Rai for me? He's at Kurenai's having a play date with Mirai. I would really appreciate it!" You said as you bowed your head with your hands together in front of you, begging Kushina to do you this favor. She groaned and placed her hand on her hip.

"Gosh I thought I was done raising babies after you and Menma, ya know. Fine, just make sure that you come home for a family dinner, we're having homemade Ramen tonight!" Kushina smiled as she hugged you. The hug lasted longer than usual and Kushina could sense it. You had a sorrowful smile on your face when you realized you had to let go and leave.

"I love you, mom. I'll see you later." You sadly smiled before running in the direction of the crow. Kushina sighed and returned the sad smile as tears fell from her eyes.

"I love you too, (Name)."

~ To (Name) ~

You were running in the forest, following the crow to wherever it led you. Somehow, you knew it was going to show you a way to escape this fake reality, you could feel that it would.

"(Name)-san, if you can hear me at all please go to the cave where we last saw each other." You suddenly heard Itachi's voice echo in your head.

"Alright, heading there now!" You said until someone stopped you. You were shocked to see  it was Kakashi.

"(Name), what are you doing? I thought you were with Kushina." Kakashi said as he tried to approach you. As much as you felt happy to have been with him, you knew he wasn't the real Kakashi. You took a step back and pulled your kunai knife out, which left the fake Kakashi confused.

"What's wrong? Why are you acting like this?"

"I'm sorry, but I don't belong here. None of this is real and I need to go back home to my real family." You say before running up to Fake Kakashi and clashing knives. He looked so confused and hurt but you couldn't let it affect you.

"What are you even saying right now? Your family is here, (Name)!" Kakashi spoke before you both jumped away from each other.

"I'm sorry, but my mind is made up. If you won't let me go, I'll have to force my way out." You said as you are about to charge at him again, but before you could move Kakashi suddenly fainted as the mysterious figure was behind him. The rendezvous point being the cave was directly behind him.

"I'm glad you were able to break the jutsu's hold of you, (Name)-san. Using Kakashi was its last attempt to keep you here." The mysterious figure then takes off his hood to reveal Uchiha Itachi, however his appearance looked as if he was reanimated.

"I-Itachi? Are you even real? Why are you here? How were you reanimated if Orochimaru is dead?" You spoke as you slowly approached Itachi and held his cheek to feel if it was really him. While he was cold, you could feel the warmth in his eyes and smiled as you realized it was him. You both embraced each other, happy you were able to meet once more. As you let go of each other, Itachi returned to a serious expression.

"We are in the middle of the fourth great ninja war, (Name)-san. Kabuto fused himself with whatever was left of Orochimaru and was able to use the reanimation jutsu to bring back myself along with many other dangerous shinobi. I had defeated him and released the jutsu but I remember Naruto telling me you had been captured by Madara. Much to my luck, Kabuto had you so I took what little time I have left to break you free from this smaller version of the infinite tsukuyomi." Itachi spoke with a serious tone. Despite having been told all this shocking news, you didn't react to it because you knew there was no time to waste as those you loved were fighting for their lives.

"You're always saving me, thank you Itachi... I still have to find Sasuke before I make my return to fight with everyone against Madara."

"Sasuke is currently with me, he helped me fight against Kabuto. I just finished telling him everything I had hidden from him, so he is going to be confused when you return. I need you to guide him, this is the only thing I ask of you." Itachi smiled as you returned the expression. You knew he had to leave but this time instead of feeling sorrow, he gave you hope and another chance to bring Sasuke home.

"I promise. Thank you for everything, Itachi." You say as you poke his forehead with your two fingers, leaving him with a shocked expression before smiling.

"The exit will be straight in this cave. I leave it to you, (Name)-san." Itachi says before he disappeared leaving crow feathers everywhere.

'I'm coming home!' You say before running straight into the cave before feeling your consciousness fade into nothingness.

A/N: very sorry for the late chapter, was suddenly inspired to finish this chapter when it became really late at night. Hopefully I can write more!

Thank you!
