The mission had been finished quickly, itachi had accompanied them throughout it, building up his relationship with his family. They had found out that Sasuke had no idea about Renka and Yuka. And it was for the best.

Naruto went very quiet for a moment, eyeing the oldest of the uchiha siblings.
"Itachi-Nii?" Naruto spoke up, Kasumi looked back wondering what the blonde was going to ask.
"Hm?'
"What happens if your found? The ANBU are all around the village.. What if your caught near the village?" Naruto asked, he had stood moving and was now stood in front of his best friend's brother.
"I won't be. You don't need to worry" itachi assured the blonde, Sakura watched as itachi ruffled naruto's hair with a slight smile. "If I am, I'll be alright. I'm in the Akatsuki. We're one if the most powerful organisations out there. ANBU don't stand a chance" itachi assured, Kakashi sighed
"Yeah, we're still enemies" Kasumi frowned at her father's words, Naruto as well.

"Why should we be enemies? We're family! Sasuke too!" Naruto nodded in agreement, though he knew it was unavoidable.

Kakashi smiled sadly at the two kids before him.
"It's for our own safety that we keep our relations secret. For your safety especially Naruto. Itachi's too" itachi agreed with the silver haired jounin's words, Kasumi frowned deeply at this
"It doesn't matter! We're family! And family comes first!"
"Kasumi" itachi whispered. Kneeling down in front of the saddened girl.

"Naruto isn't a normal shinobi, he knows that. He's a jinchuriki. The thing the Akatsuki is hunting" itachi then paused. "My life in the leaf was over when I was ordered to kill my clan. I don't want to ruin what you've only recently come to know as a family, a home. I can't do that to my step sisters kid. By being here, being with you and Kakashi and Naruto? I'm risking my own life, the safety of your village and your safety. I'm dangerous Kasumi" itachi went quiet.

"I don't want you to end up like Sasuke" Kakashi sighed and grasped Itachi's shoulder.
"We'll keep things quiet. The Hokage doesn't even know about this, and we plan on keeping it that way" itachi gave the jounin a thankful look as he embrace Kasumi tightly.

Naruto was stood there nervously. Only to have itachi outstretch an arm for the blonde, Kasumi hugging his left side.
"Come here Naruto" itachi said softly, Naruto smiled sadly and accepted the embrace, Kakashi smiling down at the three. It was about time that they had that talk. It was important, something that needed to be discussed.

"Kakashi-Sensei?" Sakura spoke up. Kakashi looked up to the pinkette who was smiling sadly.
"I'll make sure to keep quiet about this too. You have my word" Kakashi nodded, giving the pinkette a slight smile.

"Let's go!" Naruto suddenly burst out "I wanna meet Renka and Yuka!" Naruto cheered, fists clenched and in the air above his head. Kasumi copied happily. The two running ahead a little with grins on their faces, itachi stood up and smiled genuinely.
"Never thought I'd meet her. Not after I found out she was pregnant" Kakashi smirked
"So you heard? From who?"
"Some of the leaf ninja had mentioned it on their travels. I knew instantly who it was"
"Was the son of the White fang mentioned?"
"Yes actually. They went on describing my sister in perfect detail. I only wish I had been there for it. Naruto and Sasuke still had no idea" Kakashi smiled
"I can't believe I was on a mission when it happened, i downright wanted to die when I found out Kasumi had been taken and lily had died" itachi sighed softly
"I know how you feel" Sakura was now up ahead with the other two.

The two walked side by side until the village gates came into view.
"I need to go. I'll meet you there" Kakashi nodded as itachi disappeared. It was about time he got to meet is sister in law. And nephew.

Kasumi grinned as they approached a lone house in the midst of the trees in training ground 10. It was left alone for years, now overgrown with grass and other plants growing over the logs once used for training.

Kasumi looked around in wonder. Now super excited to meet her aunt and cousin.
"OI! Who are you?!" A voice suddenly yelled, looking to the west Kasumi grinned, there was a woman with dark blonde hair. She had a kunai in hand. Not holding it properly. She was angry though. We're they trespassing? Kasumi looked back confused.
"Hello!" She called waving, Naruto catching up to her, with a grin on his face
"HI!" He shouted loudly making Kasumi giggle.
"I'm Kasumi!"
"IM NARUTO!" Naruto yet again yelled making Kasumi laugh and cover his mouth
"Shush uncle Naru!" Naruto was grinning and trying to shake her off when Kakashi approached them and gave the woman a smile
"Renka, good to finally meet you" Kakashi greeted walking up to the porch while the two kids stayed at the fence line. Renka raised the kunai with a glare
"How the hell do you know my name?! How the hell did you know where I was?!" She growled. Kakashi sighed and raised his hands in defence.
"I'm Kakashi Hatake. Lily shoji's husband" Renka narrowed her eyes at Kakashi until lowering her kunai.
"Why would I believe you--"
"It's alright darling, he's telling the truth" itachi spoke up. Waking up the porch stairs and giving her a smile. Renka stared at him
"Itachi.." She mumbled, dropping the kunai and hugging her beloved tightly "you said you wouldn't be able to visit for another month or so. Why are you here?" She whispered, her eyes watering, itachi smiled
"My niece insisted. And I was on my way over anyway" Renka looked back.
"Your niece?" Itachi nodded. Kakashi had gestured the two kids over. Kasumi smiling brightly and waving
"Hello!" She greeted, Naruto was grinning. Waving his hand.
"That's Kasumi, His daughter" itachi stated gesturing to Kakashi who gave the woman a warm smile. "And that's Naruto, my and Kakashi's brother in law" Renka nodded slowly before gasping
"Come inside, you'll be seen" she ushered hurriedly, pushing the four into her home.
