What if Itachi uses his good heart to try to change the world with Sasuke? They are on the run after the massacre. They will be a good version of Madra and Izuna. Will Naruto and other main characters join? How will they shape their world with the Akatsuki and the hidden villages trying to stop them? Itachi x Mei
There will be three Konoha ninjas to join the Akatsuki other than Orochimaru.
This story will have many shocking turns and twists. I will not just stick to canon and not try to shake up things. This will be a completely different ninja village.
Only one story at a time
I will be updating one chapter at a time.
You will be amazed how many of the main characters will power up.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of the characters in Naruto. I also don't own Shikaku's intelligence.
Ch 11
Shikaku Nara was in the forbidden section of the Hokage's office. In the drawer he was looking for there was the Hiraishin and all of Minato's notes on how to use the Hiraishin, which is a teleportation technique. Shikaku thought for a long time that these things should be given to Minato's son, Naruto. In his clan, their techniques are invaluable to their survival in a tough ninja world. As the Jonin Commander, stealing the Hiraishin was not hard, and it was the first step in a very busy day. It was 7 am in the morning, and Shakaku just called 20 Jonin to go on a special training mission with 20 of Hiruzen's ANBU shinobi to learn ANBU techniques. Today you will all be training to hunt down 1 of our Jonin, Asuma Sarutobi, who has had a 3-hour head start. Jonin, you will shadow the ANBU in this mission to learn their strategies in this situation. Only nonlethal techniques—remember, this is a training exercise, not an actual mission. Yes, sir.
Shikaku Nara was walking to the Hatake residence and then knocked on the door. Knock! Knock, Hi Shikaku, how can I help you? Hi Kakashi, can I come in to get some tea? Yes, come in. Here, take this. Kakashi's eyes went wide as he saw the Hiraishin, which his sensei, Minato Namikaze, was world-famous for using as a teleportation technique. On top of that, there were his notes on how the Hirashin worked. Why are you giving this to me? It is too troublesome to fully explain, but I want you to give it to Naruto because it is his birthright. But do not give it to him until we make it to the land of the water. He may get too distracted with this on such a big day. He is still just a kid, and we have no clue how it would affect him emotionally. Thank you for bringing it to me. I will make sure he receives it. Okay, Remember to come to the Nara compound today for our escape from Konoha. Then Shikaku left the house heading back to his compound with many things to do, which was so troublesome. The front door of the Kakashi's house broke down, and an extremely concerned bull haircut man stormed in. What are you doing with Shikaku!!?? Kakashi I was extremely thankful that he lived in a nonpopulated area of Konoha so that Might Guy's extremely loud voice was not an issue. Kakashi knew right there that he had to be honest with his lifelong friend and rival. Yes, I will be leaving Konoha with others today. We are going to the land of Water to support Itachi's dream. Now Might Guy on the outside may seem like just a dense guy that just screams about the values of the power of the youth. But Guy had thought what Itachi was doing was youthful, but he never would have thought of leaving Konoha. But the idea of losing his best friend and long-term rival made him sad. Why would you leave Konoha when it has done nothing wrong to you, Kakashi? Well, I have no grudges against Konoha outside of how Naruto was treated growing up. But I want to have a family, and Anko really wants to leave, and I do think that what Itachi wants to build is really great. I think the future of the hidden villages is in Kirigakure, and I want to build in Kirigakure. And there I can raise Naruto. Which, as Minato's student, I think I should do. Guy took in all of the information. He was genuinely glad that Kakashi had grown to overcome the former reliance of the village to give him his value and how he used to push his emotions to the side every time something bad happened. His friend could never have grown into that person without Anko entering his life. He understood that Kakashi a few years ago would have killed everyone leaving, but that this Kakashi was much different. Guy was very proud of his best friend, but it made him sad to lose him. He did not have any family or friends that mattered more to him than Kakashi. It made him think of a young kid named Rock Lee that he has seen fail the exams multiple times due to an extremely low chakra level but always works out after school. He followed Rock Lee home one day and saw him go to an orphanage, so he knows that he has no parents. He had started talking to the kid and was thinking of training him. He genuinely saw a lot of himself in the kid. He also knew firsthand what it was like for a parent to die being a shinobi, and he thought that the system of ANBU led many children to never even know their parents names, which was very non-youthful. He then knew that the thing his heart wanted was to follow them to the village as well. I think what you are doing is very youthful, Kakashi. I will go as well. There is an orphan who I will see if he will go with me as well so we can all have the power of youth in Kiri!! Kakashi, next time tell me about these types of things. It was not youthful of you. You are right, Guy. I will let you know next time. Alright, I will leave to talk to Rock Lee. I will see you later today.
Guy sensei I am so happy to see you. What do you want to talk about? Hello, Rock Lee, let's go on a walk while we talk. Make sure you tell the woman that runs the orphanage that you are leaving. Yes, Guy sensei!! Alright, can you tell me how you ended up in the orphanage, Lee? I do not remember my parents because when I was born, my parents were shinobi that died when the 9 tails attacked Konoha. I have a picture of them; apparently they were chunin. I do not have any other family because most of my family were also ninjas that died in missions as well. Guy sadly all too well understands that this was one of the more sad realities of the ninja world: that when ninjas died, their children had a tough time finding other families to live with. Well, Rock Lee I want to adopt you, but I will be moving from the village tonight, so if you wanted, I could raise you where I am going to move to. Really!! You would raise me? Yes, I would, but you would be training with me and become a most youthful ninja. Yes, Guy sensei! Alright, I will come pick you up before dusk, and we will move on a most youthful adventure! Yes, Guy sensei!
Hinata Hyuga has had a crush since she was a child. The Princess of the Hyuga clan, when she was 4, was getting bullied while it was snowing outside. Just as she was about to cry from the bullying, a blue-eyed, blonde-haired kid ran and tried to stand up to the bullies. The bullies beat the kid up. From this moment in time, Hinata slowly built a crush on Naruto year after year. Now being a part of the Hyuga clan gave her the ability to see in distances that are extremely far, farther than the normal human eye. This was a blessing for Hinata because it allowed her to stalk her crush without being seen. She had seen him training, and whenever he had some unique prank. Her favorite prank by far is when he painted the Hokage's faces on the Hokage mountain. It made her laugh so much, and she really was interested when Naruto would sneak away and go to the Hokage mountain and sit and think. What really interests Hinata is watching the change in Naruto when he would start watching Naruto tailing his classmates on the way home from school. It was a very odd thing that she never really understood why Naruto would be doing those things. Then one day she saw Shikamaru catch Naruto in a trap on the way home from school, and Hinata was going to try to save him, but something very odd happened. Naruto walked to the Nara Compound and then walked home super excited, coming home with Shikamaru. Then every day Naruto would walk home with Shikamaru and Choji. She was happy for Naruto because he looked like he was becoming good friends with those two.
Hinata, stop zoning out!! It is time for our next set of palm strike teaching. Hinata was sad to be broken out of her daydream about Naruto. Yes, Neji! I do not know why I, the prodigy of the Hyuga clan, have to help teach a failure like you, but let's get this done. I have better things to do! Now palm strike this training dummy now!! Neji turned on his Byakugan and saw that Hinata always hit the dummy very softly. How many times must I tell you the Gentle Fist needs to be forceful to close the chakra points? Do it again, stronger. Hinata kept on hitting the practice dummy for the next hour, trying to slowly get better at the strikes with each repetition. I am so thankful that the time where I have to work with the failure of the Hyuga clan is over. I will give you a present. Neji assumed the Gentle Fist stance and hit one of Hinata's chakra points in her stomach, and Hinata folded to the ground. I will be doing some real training that a failure like you could never do. It is a disgrace to be your cousin.
Hi Father, my training session is over. Hi Hinata, are you able to do the drill like Neji yet? No, Father. The fact that the Princess of the Hyuga clan is not the strongest of her own age is an absolute disgrace. What an absolute failure you are, Hinata. If you do not focus and become stronger, your younger sister will become the princess of the Hyuga clan, not you. The less I have to look at you, the better. Hinata walked out of the room and into the hallway and saw her sister Hinabi, who, just like Neji, was considered a genius of the Hyuga clan. Like always, Hinab had a smug smile and just said hi, failure, and then just kept walking. Hinata went to her room and cried about being treated like this every day and how she wished her mother was still alive to comfort her. In moments like this, she thought of Naruto and how she really needed to see Naruto's positive attitude to help her feel better. She got up and left the compound to complete her daily stalking. The guard at the exit of the Hyuga compound said, Do not forget, princess, to be back by dusk. Yes, I will!
Naruto, everything is packed; let's head out. Yes, Kakashi. Alright, Anko, do you have mountain climbing outfits? Yes, and everything has been packed. Alright, Naruto I need you to act like nothing is going on as we walk to the Nara compound. Yes, Kakashi. Once they were there, Kakashi saw an extremely huge amount of people in the area that was truly amazing. Shikaku, after seeing everyone was here, he started his speech. Alright, so we have many kids and non-shinobi people here with us, which means that we will have to be very smart about how we leave. We will have all of the shinobi-trained people make shadow clones for all of the people in this group so that it will buy us some time where they think nothing has happened. As well as using earth jutsu, we have built a 50-mile cave system that is leading towards the land of the mist. We will have our shinobi carrying 2 non-shinobi people those 50 miles in a day, and with that we will have a huge head start.
Shikaku It looks like we have one young Hyuga tailing us from a far distance. In the cave system. Shikaku knew not to doubt Shibi Aburame's detection prowess and that the information was correct. There are no adults with them? No, not at all; it is very odd. Even if someone got wind that we were leaving, the Hyuga would just activate the bird seal on whoever it was and kill them. Shibi, you can go capture her and then bring her here, and we will get information from her. Someone may have leaked our leaving, so we need to be thorough. I figured I just knocked her out. I will go get her. Shikaku even immediately recognized the princess of the Hyuga clan when he saw her. It would surprise him with how notoriously nervous she usually was; she did not strike him as the type to try to stop them all from leaving. Why are you following us, Hinata? B B Because Naruto. What do you mean? Shikaku saw her face turn red, and then she said that she follows Naruto. Shikaku shook his head. Young crushes are so troublesome. I understand that you like Naruto, but where we are going, there is no family for you. You have no clue if you will grow out of this crush. Your family is much more important than your current crush. My family does not even want me. I am their failure, and nobody even cares about me! The only person that loved me since I was alive was my mother, who passed away! I would much rather go with you guys than stay home. I will take her. Like most women, Anko could not resist the urge to eavesdrop on their conversation. She completely knew how Hinata felt totally alone, and she really needed someone like her to break her out of her shell. Kakashi was about to say something, but then Anko stared at him and said, Oh, so you think you can adopt Naruto, and I cannot adopt Hinata??? Kakashi knew when he saw that look that said, I dare you to say no. He was totally stuck, and now he was a parent of two. You guys adopted Naruto? Yes, Hinata, we are adopting him and going to the village hidden in the Mist. I am Anko, and my husband is Kakashi, and Kashki's sensei was Naruto's father, so we are taking him in. We would love for you to come live with us. Okay.
(48 hours later)
Hiruzen was really confused; he had thought that yesterday his Jonin Commander, Shikaku Nara, was just sick or that the lazy man was just having a lazy day. He very normally would not see him for a day every once in a while. The lazy man would just bring his paperwork in the afternoon from the previous day of news about missions and some mission planning for some higher-ranked missions. He knew that the Shikaku was extremely elite at his role, so it did not bother him too much. But today it was already midnight, and there had been no reports from Shikaku. ANBU! Yes, Hokage-sama. Bring Shikaku Nara here. I don't care how much he whines about how troublesome it is. Yes, Hokage-sama! An hour later the ANBU returned. Hokage-sama I could not find Shikaku anywhere, and it was very odd; I did not see anyone else at the house. Did you look at Incochis's house? Yes, Hokage-sama, he was not there. What about Choza's house? Yes, Hokage-sama, he was not there. Did you check all of the bars? Usually, he was out at one of those places. Yes, Hokage-sama, he was not there. Hokage-sama, at one of the bars, he was seen with Choza and Inochi drinking together yesterday. Hiruzen was thinking about how every once in a while he would see Choza and Inochi stargazing with Shikaku from time to time and that may be where they are at. ANBU check all lakes with scenic views within a 10-mile radius that lazy bones would not get far. Yes, Hokage-sama. 3 hours later, the ANBU returned Hokage-sama. We still could not find Shikaku-san anywhere, or Incochi-san, or Choza-san. Hiruzen was up at 4 am waiting to find Shikaku, and when he was found, I am going to give D ranks for a week every hour it takes for me to find this guy. ANBU go to the Nara, Akimichi, and Yamanaka compounds and find them. 3 hours later. Hokage-sama, there is nobody at the Nara, Akimichi, or Yamanaka compounds. Hiruzen's face paled as he was thinking about how smart the Nara was. And two days ago there was an odd Jonin joint training session with ANBU. Hirizen really did not like where this thought process was heading, but he had to face the reality that he was 55 hours behind the smartest man from his village; tracking him down would be no easy feat. ANBU this is an emergency. I want tracking ninja on this at this moment, and I want every inch of this village combed within the next hour. We cannot lose any time. Am I understood!? Yes, Hokage-sama! 1 hour later, the ANBU came back with his report. It looks like all of the Nara, Yamanaka, Akimichi, and Aburame clans are completely gone. It looks like the princess of the Hyuga clan has been missing in the last two days and that Anko, Kakashi, Guy, Naruto, and an orphan named Rock Lee are gone. It looks like there was some sort of tunnel that they caved in, and the best Inuzuka trackers say that they cannot follow the scent because they are already too far away. Hiruzen should have known that Shikamaru would not make it so easy for their tracking specialists to track them. Hiruzen could see sadly that after the Uchiha clan was murdered, he should have done more to reassure the other clans that they would be next. As much as he understood, they had the 9-tailed fox, which had been under their control since the founding of the village, and he needed that retrieved. What direction was the cave dug? East Hokage Sama. Hiruzen's eyes went wide because he immediately knew that the two villages that were to the east were the Water village and the Lightning village. He knew that there was no chance they would defect to go to the lightning village due to them being known as the village that makes ninja clans have multiple children, treating them like breeding dogs. And the option became very clear that they were going to the Water Village. Hiruzen knew that Itachi had very much grown in strength and that they would not be able to attack the water village and win without those clans and without Danzo's ROOT. ANBU I want you all to travel to the water village and see if you can find them before they enter that village.Yes, Hokage-sama!
Ao flashed into Itachi's office, saying that thousands of people were nearing the Mist village and hundreds of them had ninja chakra signatures, and 5 of them had jonin chakra level signatures in front of them, and one of them was carrying a white flag. Itachi was very thankful that Ao had the byakugan for these moments. Gatherer, Kisame, Zabuza, and Mei, we are leaving in 15 minutes. Yes, Mizukage-sama. Once outside, Itachi was absolutely shocked at the familiar faces that he was seeing. Four of the main clans of Konaha were all there, and Kakashi, who was his sensei in ANBU. Then he saw Might Guy and then the 4th Hokage's Legacy in Naruto Uzumaki. Shikaku, why are you here? We believe that you are building a better version of the Hidden Villages, and we wish to join you. Itachi was stunned that so many people he had accepted to never see again were here now and believed in his dream. You guys may join this village and come inside for now. I am sure that there are ANBU tracking you guys.
