chuunin_archiveThis is for shiina_nozumo, who requested a Itachi/Naruto fic. I love Itachi. He's my favorite character. I think that Naruto and Itachi are both a tad OOC, but that's for you guys to decide. If you find that they are unforgivably OOC, tell me, and I'll revamp the story. Hope you like...
PG. I guess. It's dark, but there's no strong language or blatant sex/violence. Ah, to be on the safe-side, we'll say PG-13.
Itachi stood before the angry Kyuubi carrier, face emotionless, seemingly unconcerned over the possible doom standing before him.
“Uzumki Naruto. Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi.”
Even though Naruto hated to admit it, Sasuke’s older brother’s voice gave him the chills. In both a good and bad way. Itachi’s voice was flat, cold, devoid of most emotions, but at the same time is flowed around the senses, teasing them, caressing the ears. It was the most dangerous sound Naruto had ever heard in his life. Couple that with the fact that Itachi’s eyes were as dangerous as his voice was beautiful, and you came up with a fatal combination. Soothed and destroyed in the same moment.
And somehow, he had managed to come across the man, alone.
Itachi had hurt Sasuke. Repeatedly. He had tortured Kakashi-sensei. He had escaped Ero-sennin. He had tried to capture him more than once, and Naruto knew that Itachi meant him ill.
Damn him for being an older, somehow more attractive, version of Sasuke. For it seemed that no matter how many times Naruto told himself that this person before him was not Sasuke, it didn’t seem to sink in.
And Itachi knew it.
Which was why Naruto found himself pinned against a tree, bound in a genjutsu, and not really minding. Itachi’s eyes were mirror images of Sasuke’s, the last time he had seen the bastard. Alluring, dangerous, and craving. Both brothers craved more. More power, more skill, each to surpass the other; Itachi always staying one step ahead of his younger sibling, just to frustrate him.
Itachi was the reason Sasuke was with Orochimaru.
But it was more than just appearances that had Naruto’s head reeling. Itachi felt like Sasuke. Their chakra signatures were nearly identical. So, finding that he was bound in a genjutsu unlike the blatantly painful ones he had been in before, he didn’t, rather, couldn’t, fight back.
Because this genjutsu was sweet agony.
Itachi had gotten inside his head, and was playing, for Naruto’s emotional pain, every moment he had been with Sasuke, every word, every action.
It tore him apart.
Every flicker of emotion. Ever emotional and physical wound was emphasized to the point that when Naruto was finally let out of the genjutsu, he couldn’t help but feel all of the Kyuubi’s energy drain out of him.
His heart felt like it had been beaten into mush. And with it, all his anger, all his resolve, had fallen to pieces.
Why was he fighting Itachi? Itachi wasn’t his enemy. That was Orochimaru. Orochimaru had Sasuke.
“I can bring you to Sasuke,” he heard a voice purr in his ear, a voice that made him shiver, made the Kyuubi flare up briefly.
“Liar...” Naruto’s voice lacked the normal steely conviction that filled it. He was drained. There was nothing left in his body but a hollow space. Naruto could feel Itachi smile.
“Then you give up? You’re giving up on finding the person who is more important than you than anyone else?”
“Never.”
“No matter who you’ve been traveling with, you’ve only come up with dead ends. I can feel Sasuke.” A hint of a smirk entered Itachi’s voice. “He is my foolish little brother, afterall.”
“Liar...”
“I will take you to him. But you must give me something in return.”
Naruto’s mouth was working, but he found himself unable to say anything, his mind snared in another, non-Mangekyou Sharingan genjutsu.
“Give me your body,” Naruto heard Itachi whisper in his ear as he felt Itachi’s hand slowly drift down his body.
Naruto’s instincts kicked in and his leg lashed out at Itachi, who deftly caught it, and twisted, ending up so that Naruto was on his stomach, leg twisted at an awkward angle that made him grimace.
“T-teme...”
“Isn’t that your term of endearment for my foolish little brother?”
Brief images of Sasuke flashed through his mind, and Naruto screamed.
Thankfully, at that point, Itachi was forced to let go of Naruto’s leg to deflect numerous kunai and shuriken thrown at him. Itachi jumped away, and crouched, his Akatsuki robe splaying out around him like a pool of blood-tinged shadows. Unperturbed, he watched as Kakashi, Sakura, Kurenai, and Shikamaru jumped out of the trees, and Sakura crouched down by Naruto, who was slowly regaining his sense of self.
Itachi looked at all of those assembled before him, and, faster than even Kakashi could follow, Itachi disappeared, leaving only a shattered Naruto behind, and a Sakura desperately trying to help put together a fragile psyche.
“Sa...su...ke...”

Great job. I don't see any OOCness in here. ItachixNaruto is one of the only Itachi pairings I like...thanks much for writing it!
