-Itachi's POV-

Naruto continues to glare at Sasuke as we walk in silence.

I see Sasuke twitch from time to time.

"Ok! That's it. Dobe! Stop glaring at me!" Sasuke finally snaps.

"I can't help it! What if you steal daddy and then kill him!!" Naruto yells back.

"That's not going to happen!" Sasuke yells.

"Oh you're one to talk! Mister-I'm-going-to-kill-a-certain-man-and-revenge-my-clan!!" Naruto retorts.

"At least I'm way more mature then you when it comes to your jealousy!" Sasuke scoffs.

Proving his maturity, Naruto sticks his tongue out and blows a raspberry.

I inwardly chuckle with amusement.

We reach the training ground in a matter of minutes and see Kakashi there.

He's sitting on a branch and reading his... Book.

"Kakashi-sensei!!" Naruto yells.

Kakashi blinks and looks at our direction.

"Yo Naruto. Sasuke. Itachi." He waves a hand up, greeting us as he jumps down from the tree.

"It's been a while Kakashi-senpai." I nod my head.

"Maa, that's true." He eye smiles.

"Sensei. What are you doing here?" Naruto asks.

"... Reading." He says pointing at the branch he was sitting on.

"Can you even call it a book?" I question quietly to myself.

Naruto, who is closest to me at the moment looks up at me and snickers.

I smile gently at it.

"So. The whole I-turned-into-a-baby-and-itachi-is-my-daddy is real?" Kakashi asks gesturing to me and Naruto who was still attached to my arm.

"What's it look like?" Sasuke scoffs.

"Maa, what's got you so angry this morning?" Kakashi averts his eye to Sasuke.

"The Dobe was being an idiot and thought I was going to kill my brother so he kept glaring at me the whole morning." He twitches.

Kakashi eye smiles at Naruto.

"Jealousy is a weakness." He says.

"I-I'm not jealous!" Naruto yells.

"It looks like jealousy to me." I chuckle.

"You traitor!" Naruto points an accusing finger at me dramatically.

"It's adorable anyways so it doesn't matter." I smile.

Naruto's face blows up in red and he stutters. "A-Ado-dorab-able?!"

-Naruto's POV-

Before I could blow up and complain about being called 'adorable', an ANBU appears in front of us.

"Hokage-sama requests all your presence." He says before disappearing in a swirl of leafs.

I sigh.

"Let's go." Sasuke says.

I follow him to Baa-san's office.

I slapped the door open.

"Baa-san! We were gonna train!" I complain.

"Naruto. This is serious." She says.

I straightened subconsciously.

"Yes?" I ask.

"I believe that the 2 Akatsuki members Kakuzu and Hidan are in this area." She says and points to the area on a map.

I gulp.

"Hii... Kuzu..." I mutter.

"Daddy..." I tug Itachi's sleeve.

He gives me a reassuring pat on the head.

"I'm giving you the mission of taking these two back to Konoha." Hokage-sama says.

I nod.

"You might want to hurry. Team Shikamaru has already left." She says.

I twitch.

Without answering her, I left immediately, dragging Itachi with me.

Kakashi-sensei and Sasuke behind us.

I jump in the middle of the battle and created a crater on the ground.

Sakura, Sasuke, Daddy and Kakashi-sensei behind me.

"What's going on?" Ino yells.

"Relax Ino. It's just us." Sakura smiles.

Ino sighs in relief.

Sakura runs to where Ino is and starts healing Choji and her.

"Shikamaru... I know Hii killed... Asuma-sensei... But..." I hesitate saying.

"No, I get it. I wasn't going to kill him anyways." Shikamaru says.

"Thanks Shikamaru." I give an apologetic smile.

"Yea whatever. Hurry up, all this is so troublesome" he says and makes a 'shooing' motion with his hand.

I chuckle and walk forward, so the smoke that was blocking us faded in the background.

"Who the hell are you?" Hidan asks.

I tilt my head slightly.

"Hii? You don't remember me?" I did my best 'puppy dog eyes no jutsu'.

"Chibi/Squirt?" Both Hii and Kuzu asked at the same time.

"What's going on?" Choji asks.

"It's like they know each other." Ino says.

"That's because they do." Shikamaru says.

I slowly walk towards them.

They didn't move, not knowing whether to hug me or kill me. So I decided for them.

I put an arm around both of them and relax into them.

Hii drops his weapon and hesitantly put his arm around my back.

Kuzu, with his strings flooding out his back mind you, also puts an arm around me.

I chuckle and grab a string.

"That's still cool ya know?" I say.

Kuzu scoffs.

"Sori, Deidei and Daddy is in Konoha. Come with me." I demand.

"Still as spoilt as you can be." Kuzu sighs.

"And what do you mean that there in Konoha, Chibi?" Hii asks.

"I'm not spoilt. Now carry me, my legs hurt from running so far away." I say and pat Kuzu's arm.

He rolls his eyes but picks me up nonetheless.

"You didn't answer my question." Hii scolded.

"T-They joined Konoha... Sir." I mock salute.

He also rolls his eyes.

"Well... If Konoha accepts us, I don't mind going." Hii shrugs.

Kuzu nods.

"Woohoo!!!" I hurray and throw my hands in the air as Kuzu was still carrying me bridal style.

Kuzu and Hii walk towards Shikamaru's team.

"So... Truce?" Hii hesitantly asks.

"Truce?... Truce???" Ino spits as she picks up a kunai.

"Hey hey hey!! W-Wait- Wha- Hold- just- hey! White flag! White flag!" Hii yells and holds up Kuzu's string and waves it around.

Kuzu twitches in annoyance and slams him against a pillar of rock.

I snicker and Kuzu smiles at that.

"Let's go." Kuzu sighs.

Team Shikamaru hesitate at first but saw me around them really comfortably so they just followed.

"You know Naruto... If you're going to keep your bonds with the akatsuki within the village, you're going to have to explain your whole situation... Only the Hokage, Me, Shikamaru and Sasuke know about you and the Akatsuki at the moment." Kakashi-sensei says.

I sigh.

"I know...But it's embarrassing." I mumble.

Kuzu pinches my cheek.

"What's so embarrassing about us being your adoptive family? Huh?" Kuzu narrows his eyes.

"Wahh!! K'zu!! Stahp!!" I try to push his hand off my cheek.

Kakashi-sensei merely laughs as we all head back to Konoha.
