Chapter Eighteen - The truth comes out

Not long after Sasuke had
left the Hokage Tower, he had decided to go back and get permission
to see his brother. Now he stood staring down at his brother who was
lying, chained, on a cot in a cell. Even though Itachi had his eyes
closed, Sasuke knew he was awake and aware that his little brother
had come to visit him. This is the first time I have ever seen him
helpless. I hate him, but I also have a lot of questions I need
answers to.

“I know you are
awake, Itachi.”

Itachi opened his eyes
and stared up into Sasuke's eyes. He didn't say anything, he just
stared.

“Why? I know what
you told me back then, but that was not a real answer that you gave
me. Why did you kill our parents?”

“Will the truth
make any difference, now? I will be executed soon. I have no
regrets.”

Sasuke shouted at him.
“How can you say that? What you did was unforgivable! But I
need to know why! Was it really just to measure your container?”

“Foolish, little
brother. You were always so blind to everything that happened back
then. You saw me as your rival. The one you hated and had to beat.
Didn't you?”

Sasuke remembered
instead, how he had idolized his brother. Yes, I wanted to be like
him. I did resent that Father showed him more attention, but what I
most wished for, back then, was for my brother to acknowledge me and
to spend more time with me. I loved our father and wanted his
acknowledgment and attention too, but I wanted it from my brother
even more. “I didn't hate you back then.” Sasuke
sighed heavily and looked away. “I wanted you to spend more
time with me and train me. I wanted to be like you. But then you
killed everyone.” Sasuke looked back at his brother again, with
anger in his eyes. “Why did you have to do that? Why couldn't
you have just been my brother? Was I such a burden to you? Did you
hate me?”

Itachi was the one to
look away this time. What do I say? The truth or just let him keep
hating me?

Sasuke glared at his
brother and shouted. “Answer me, dammit! Tell me the truth!”

Itachi looked back and
fixed his eyes on his brother's. “I'm not sure you can handle
the truth. But if you insist...you never saw me kill them.”

“You showed me with
your Mangekyou Sharingan!”

“You should know,
that I can control what you see with it. I showed you what I wanted
you to see.”

Sasuke was shocked. What
is he saying? “You're lying to me!”

Itachi smiled sadly. “No,
I have no reason to anymore. You saw what I wanted you to see and
what you saw was a lie.”

No! It can't be true!
Is he now saying he didn't murder our parents? Our clan? Sasuke
looked with uncertainty at his older brother. “Are you
saying...”

Itachi interrupted.
“That's right. I didn't murder our clan. I came home from a
mission right after it happened, and the killers were already gone. I
do know who did it though. I joined the Akatsuki to get revenge on
the real murderers.”

Sasuke was confused and
angry. “If that is true then why didn't you tell me? Why did
you make me believe it was you?”

“I had seen you
running home, when I first came back, but I had also noticed all the
bodies in the streets. So I went to look for our parents. That noise
you heard that brought you to that room...I made that because I had
just found our parents dead and had hit the wall in my anger and
grief. When I felt your presence outside the room, I realized I had
to save you...by making you believe I had killed everyone. I would
never kill you, little brother, but the ones who murdered our clan
would, if you had known the truth and had gone after them.”

“Who? Tell me who
did it!”

“No, you are not
strong enough to beat them. You would die for nothing. You are the
last of our clan and as long as you don't know who they are and they
don't feel you are a threat to them, you will live on. You will be
the one to revive our clan.”

“Avenging our clan
is more important! If you can't do it, then it's up to me!” I
need to tell the Hokage about this. If Itachi is telling me the
truth, then he can't be executed. I need him.

“No, you will not
be the one to get revenge.”

Wait. He still killed
Shisui-san, didn't he? “If what you have said is true, then
why did you kill your closest friend? You did that to get the
Mangekyou Sharingan!”

“I didn't kill him
to get that. He was working for our clan's killers. He was the one
that betrayed the clan, for power. I had overheard him talking to one
of them about kidnapping me. I went to confront him about it, then we
ended up fighting. I held him under the water too long and he died. I
faked the suicide note, because I didn't want his employers to know
he had been killed by me. Before he died, I was able to get him to
tell me who he was working for, but he didn't tell me what they were
planning to do. I thought that they were only after me, to get the
secrets of the Sharingan. I should have told Father about it, but I
was very proud and arrogant and I believed I was strong enough to
protect myself. He never wanted to see any weakness from me, anyway.
Everyone always expected me to be perfect, so I wasn't going to ask
for help. When I attacked those policemen, I was so angry with them
for thinking I was a murderer, and hating me because of how strong I
was. They judged me without knowing me and talked about Shisui as if
he was better than me, so I attacked them. Then Father came home and
talked like he was disappointed in me. I ended up saying things, out
of pride, arrogance and anger, that made me look guilty. You were a
witness to all of it. Remembering that day, must have made it easier
for you to believe that I had killed our entire clan.” I
can't tell him that it was the Akatsuki that did it. At least,
Orochimaru is dead. He was with them then. My little brother would
never be able to kill all of them. They are too powerful for him.
Even I am not strong enough to do it, yet.

Should I believe
Itachi's story? It makes more sense than believing my brother was
capable of doing it. Despite what he had shown me with his Mangekyou
Sharingan, I still had a hard time understanding what could make him
kill everyone. He was anti-social and had problems with our father,
but it wasn't enough to make him a mass murderer. I want to believe
him. “You came after Naruto. Was that just for your job or
did you really want to capture him for power?”

Ah. He won't like my
answer, I'm sure. “I had to have you keep hating me, so
that was part of it. As long as you hated me and was after me for
revenge, then the real murderers would continue to believe that you
didn't know about them. Also, I wanted his power. If I had him
devoted to me and working for me, I would have used him to destroy
our clan's murderers. With him, I knew I had a chance at revenge. He
would have lost his demon after I took him back to the Akatsuki
headquarters, but from the research that was done on his bloodline
limit, I figured he could survive that and I would then ask for him
to be handed over to me as a reward for capturing him.”

Sasuke glared at his
brother. “You would have used Naruto as a tool? How would you
have got him to cooperate with you?”

“My first plan had
been to befriend him and then turn him against all his other friends.
I thought that he would then turn to me as his only friend and I
could talk him into leaving his village and helping me. But time was
running out, and he wasn't cooperating with my plan. I had a backup
plan though. I was going to give him a drug that would erase all of
his memories. Then I would take him to the Akatsuki headquarters and
get him to become dependent on me. But he must have finally been able
to see through my genjutsu.”

“You were
pretending to be Amano Sudai. Where did you discover a genjutsu that
Naruto had trouble seeing through?”

“It was from a
forbidden scroll I bought in the Hidden Rock village. I wasn't sure
that it would work on Naruto, but he never saw through it until I was
fighting someone from another team in the exam. I think that is when
he noticed.”

“He told the Hokage
that he saw something suspicious about you before then. But he
finally was able to figure it out, during that fight you were
involved in. Now, tell me who murdered our clan.”

“If you had been
able to obtain the Mangekyou Sharingan and come to me as I asked,
then together we could have killed them. I would not have told you
the truth until you were strong enough to be able to help me. You are
still too weak now. But since I have been captured and will soon be
executed, there was no reason for me to keep the truth from you any
longer. But I will not tell you who they are.”

“They will get away
with it if you don't tell me!” Unless I can get the Hokage
to let him go. But I still want to be there with him when we avenge
our clan.

“Better that, than
all the Uchihas be dead. You have to live. You have to stop trying to
get revenge.”

Damn him! How
can he think I would ever give up on avenging our clan? Sasuke
activated his Sharingan, then his Mangekyou Sharingan in front of his
brother.

Itachi stared in shock at
his little brother. “How?”

“Naruto used his
bloodline limit to get it to activate. I didn't have to kill him or
anyone else.” Sasuke deactivated his Sharingan. “When I
see you again, I hope you will be ready to tell me who murdered our
clan. I'll be back later.” Sasuke turned and knocked on the
door. When the door was opened for him, he looked back at his brother
and saw him still staring at him. Sasuke turned his face back to the
front again, then walked out of the cell.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

While Sasuke was visiting
his brother, Naruto was in his house sitting on his couch with Gaara.
Does Sasuke still love me? I guess I should have realized his
revenge was more important to him, than me. I don't think Sasuke will
understand why I had to do what I did. Naruto felt depressed. He
loved Sasuke, but was afraid that it was over between them now.

Gaara felt useless. He
didn't know how to comfort his friend. I wish I could have been
wrong about Uchiha Sasuke, for Naruto's sake. Gaara put his arm
around the blond's shoulders. “You want to go get some ramen?”

Naruto shook his head.
“I'm not really hungry right now.” He looked at the red
head. “I'm not very good company right now either. I'm sorry,
Gaara.”

Damn that Uchiha for
breaking his heart! “Maybe he justs needs some time to
accept what has happened. Just keep yourself busy, Naruto and then
see how he feels later.” I can't believe I'm actually
encouraging him to give Uchiha Sasuke a chance! But I know Naruto
loves him and his happiness is more important than my own feelings
about it.

“You're probably
right, Gaara. I'll just give it some time and try to find something
to take my mind off this. But right now, I think I just want to rest.
You don't mind, do you?”

“No, I understand.
If you need to talk with me though, you know where to find me.”
Gaara got up from the couch and walked to the door.

Naruto got up too, and
followed him. “Yes, I do and thank you, Gaara.”

Gaara turned and smiled
at the blond. “That is what friends are for, right? To help
each other.”

Naruto remembered when he
had said those same words himself. I'm Sasuke's friend. Even if he
doesn't love me anymore, I will still try to help him. “Right,
Gaara.” He smiled at the red head and after Gaara left, Naruto
closed the door and then went upstairs to his bedroom. I'll go see
Sasuke later, after he's had some time to think over everything. I
feel exhausted right now anyway. Naruto undressed down to his
boxers and then got into bed. I'll just rest for awhile. Maybe
things will be better later.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“You damn Uchihas
with your arrogance and thirst for revenge!” Tsunade was very
angry after hearing Itachi's story from Sasuke. “He should have
went to the Third and told him everything! He should have told his
father about Uchiha Shisui too!”

“I agree,
Hokage-sama about what he should have done, but he didn't and we
can't go back and change that. What matters now is that we force him
to tell us who the murderers are so I can go after them. I could use
his help though.”

“You're just as bad
as him! First you spend over eight years of your life hating your
brother and wanting to kill him, now you want to go after a group of
powerful killers. If Itachi couldn't kill them himself, you won't
stand a chance either, brat.”

Sasuke glared at her.
“That's why I could use his help! With him, we should be able
to do it.”

Tsunade glared back. “I'm
not so sure I want him released. Even if he didn't kill the clan, he
was trying to hurt Naruto. I won't forgive him for that.”

“I'm angry about
that too. But I can understand why he did it. He was desperate to
avenge our clan. That is why we should both do it, together.”

Tsunade sighed. I will
have to tell the council and the clan leaders about all of this. But,
Itachi could be lying. The Yamanaka clan could help to find out
though. Someone from that clan could find out if he's telling the
truth or not, then if it's true, get the information out of him on
who did do it. If Itachi wants revenge so badly, he would agree to
let us do it, in order to gain his freedom. “Sasuke, I will
see what I can do about finding out the truth and if Itachi isn't
lying, then he will be able to go with you. But it won't be just the
two of you alone. You will have others in your team, because Itachi
will not be allowed out of this village without strict supervision.
He committed crimes while working with the Akatsuki and he's going to
have to pay for that.”

“Alright, I agree.”
I have to, it's the only way to get this done. “I want
Naruto to be part of the team. I also think Neji and Shikamaru have
skills that will be needed.”

“Kakashi and Gai
will go also. You should have a medic-nin along, too.”

“Sakura.”

Tsunade nodded. “Yes.
I believe I can spare all of them. This mission is long overdue.
Don't tell your brother yet. I will be meeting with him later, in
order to get the information we need from him, and to tell him his
punishment. If it turns out that we can trust him, I will make sure
he's healed of his injuries completely, as soon as possible. Wait
until tomorrow to visit him.”

Sasuke nodded. I need
to see Naruto anyway. “Thank you, Hokage-sama.”
Sasuke bowed his head.

“You're welcome,
brat, and thank you for telling me about this, Sasuke.” She
smiled at him, then watched as he left her office. I hope you are
going to see Naruto to kiss and make up.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Naruto woke up from his
nap, to the sound of loud knocking at his front door. He got out of
bed and pulled on his pants and shirt, then walked downstairs and
over to the front door. When he opened it, he saw Sasuke standing
there.

“Can I come in,
Naruto?” Sasuke felt a little nervous. He wasn't sure if Naruto
was angry or hurt about how he had acted earlier.

Naruto was surprised to
see Sasuke at his door. He doesn't seem angry. Naruto stepped
back and opened the door wider. “Sure, come in.” When
Sasuke entered, he closed the door and turned around.

The raven haired boy
walked into the living room, then over to the couch and sat down. He
looked up at the blond with a serious expression on his face. “Can
you come sit down by me? I have something I have to tell you.”

He's probably going to
tell me that he doesn't love me anymore. Naruto walked over to
the couch and sat down. He forced himself to look at the other boy.

“I'm sorry for the
way I acted before. You were right to do what you did.”

Naruto couldn't hide his
surprise at hearing an apology from Sasuke. He didn't know what to
say though. “Alright.”

“Because of what
you did, I got my brother back. He finally told me the truth about
what happened to our parents and clan. He had lied about being the
one that killed them.”

Naruto gasped in shock.
“He didn't kill them?”

Sasuke shook his head.
“No, he didn't but he knows who did. And the Hokage said that
after she gets the information from him about who did it, then we
will go on a mission to capture them or kill them, if capture isn't
possible.” Personally, I want to kill them.

“B-But Sasuke!
Itachi was so mean to you and told you to hate him!”

“Yes, he did that
for a reason though. He wanted me to think he was the killer, because
he didn't want me to go after the real killers. Instead, he went
after them himself. He wanted to capture you to use your powers in
order to help him kill our clan's murderers. At first, I think he
wanted to get the fox demon to use for that, but then he found out
about your bloodline limit.”

Well, I guess I can
understand a little more about him now. He's not evil, he just wants
revenge, like Sasuke does. Now that I think about it, that
time when he attacked me and Sasuke, he didn't hurt his brother. He
even left the battle without fighting anymore. He just grabbed that
shark-like man and left. Whenever I had to fight Itachi, when he was
alone, he never tried to seriously injure me. Why didn't I realize
this before? But still, he was very mean to Sasuke, even if he didn't
try to kill him. “He was still very cruel to you, Sasuke,
by making you believe he killed your family.”

Naruto cares more
about how Itachi treated me, then how Itachi treated him. This is one
of the reasons why I love my dobe. Sasuke moved his hand over to
grab one of the blond's, so he could hold it. “I love you,
Naruto.”

Naruto smiled and
squeezed the other boy's hand. “I love you too, Sasuke. So
who's going on the mission?”

Sasuke wasn't in the mood
to talk about the mission, but he decided to get all the news over
with now, so that he could then do what he really wanted to do. “You,
me, Itachi, Neji, Shikamaru, Sakura, Kakashi and Gai. I think that
should be the right type of skills and numbers we would need.”

Naruto's smile got wider,
as he realized he was being included in helping Sasuke avenge his
clan. “I agree.”

Sasuke couldn't wait
anymore. He leaned over and kissed the blond on the lips.

Naruto kissed back and
moved himself a little closer to his love.

Sasuke let go of the
other boy's hand, then wrapped both of his arms around Naruto and
pulled him even closer. I would love to claim my dobe right now,
but I still want to wait until after I've avenged my clan. Then I can
give myself totally to him with nothing else to distract me.
Itachi can be the one to revive our clan by having children. I'm
going to be selfish and have the person I love. Sasuke thrust his
tongue inside of Naruto's mouth and felt very aroused when he heard
and felt the blond's moan of pleasure.

Naruto wrapped his arms
around Sasuke's neck and started playing with his silky raven locks.
I love kissing Sasuke. I never want to stop.

Sasuke's hands started
roaming Naruto's body and his kisses became more passionate. But
after a couple more minutes, he had to force himself to stop. He put
his hands on the blond's shoulders to push him back a little, as he
pulled away from the kiss. He rested his forehead on Naruto's and
stared into the most beautiful blue eyes he had ever seen. “I'm
hungry, Naruto.” Sasuke grinned inside as he thought of the
fact that he wasn't just hungry for food. “Let's go get
something to eat.”

Naruto had still been in
a daze from their kissing, but hearing about food, got his attention.
He grinned. “Ramen?”

Sasuke groaned. “I'd
rather go to the barbecue place.”

Naruto frowned. Well,
I guess I could give in this time. He did apologize and he's letting
me go on the mission with him. Plus, he's a really good kisser!
Naruto smiled. “Alright.”

He's not going to
argue about it? Well, I'm not going to ask him why, because that
could make him change his mind. Sasuke got up from the couch.
“Good. Let's go.”

Naruto got up too. He
grabbed Sasuke's hand before he could walk away, then held it and
just smiled at the other boy.

Sasuke smiled back, then
lead Naruto to the front door.
