Sorry for the delay, but I have been celebrating my birthday for the last few days and I plan to keep going until next week!

Please excuse the insanity towards the end of this chapter. I wanted something to put in something light and ridiculous with Itachi having a mini mental breakdown.

As stated before, reviews are welcomed.

Dishonor: Four

Year One

It had been a little over a year since he had been in Konoha and each day spent away had Naruto longing for the day he could return. He lay in the shadows cast by the trees stretching over the roof of the family's storeroom.

"Namikaze-sama," a familiar and loathsome voice called from the distance, searching for his charge since dinner had passed and it was now time for the boy's studies to resume. Naruto slunk down further on the rooftop as he willed the annoying tutor to disappear. Naruto listening to the slap of the man's sandals fade into the distance, as he scurried off to find his charge. A quick glance over the roof and Naruto watched the man disappear inside the house Naruto now lived in.

The place was a large,machiya, a traditional style home complete with several gardens, a storehouse and a separate warehouse for the pearls his grandfather shipped out to the markets in other nations. This was his mother's home had live in until she was sent to Konoha to become the vessel of the nine-tailed demon, Kyuubi, and Naruto hated it with a passion.

Being in Wave, in the house his mother grew up in with his grandfather, reminded Naruto of the betrayal done to him by his father's village. If Naruto had nothing else in this world, he believed in the Third Hokage. The old man had been kind to Naruto when everyone else wanted to have nothing to do with him. He sometime bought Naruto a bowl of ramen and he showed the boy how to write his name after the teachers in the academy complained about Naruto not signing his assignments, not that the child ever completed them since he did not understand most of the words and the teachers refused explain the lessons to him. The old man would sometimes show Naruto picture books and would help him learn new words…

Naruto thought about the five books waiting for him in his study room. In the last year he had done nothing but study, his grandfather and Jiraya allowed him to do little else. He was attending the village's only schoolhouse. Naruto could not play pranks, his grandfather had scolded him after the first time and the second time he had shamed Naruto by rebuffing him in public and then making Naruto apologize to not only his teacher and classmates, but the parent of his classmates and the village elders.

Naruto had never been so humiliated in his life. He thought to runaway then, he really did but then he saw stumbled past the family shrine as saw the photographs of his parents. His grandfather was praying to them, asking them of the patience and love to undo all the damaged that had been done to their son.

Hot shame sufficed through his body while listening to his grandfather tell the photographs of his dead parents about Naruto's "behavioral problems" and his unwillingness to learning anything that did not relate to ninjutsu. At first Naruto was at first hurt however, by the time the Naruto joined his grandfather and Jiraya at the table for supper that hurt had transformed into full-on rage.

He was not damaged; there was nothing wrong with him. Naruto screamed and cried defending the Third Hokage against what Naruto at the time though were unfair accusations. There were a lot of orphans in Konoha, the village could not afford to take of them all nor could the Third have been expected to show preference for Naruto since it would have been unfair to the other children.

Naruto had been trained by the village elders and its citizens very well. Jiraya had disgusted when he asked Naruto to repeat everything he had just said. Not understanding the man's ire, Naruto hesitantly repeated every reason why he was left alone to be abused by the entire village, why he alone was the only child ever made to live in the conditions that Naruto has existed for his entire life.

Jiraya was so angry and so hurt that he could not find the voice to express his rage. Instead, Jiraya pulled out an old leather wallet. He opened it up and shoved the thing in the confused child's face.

"That's you at five months," Jiraya hissed through tightly clenched teeth.

Reluctantly, Naruto took the wallet, his eyes fixed on the laughing infant photograph. He recognized the blond hair and the whiskered birthmarks immediately. The baby Naruto in the photograph was happy, the younger Jiraya was smiling even though another baby was using Jiraya's hair to help him stand.

"There's another one right behind that one." Jiraya nodded.

Without a word, Naruto opened the flipped the page and this time his breath caught in his throat. In this photograph, Naruto was still a baby, but a little bit older. He was dressed in a dark bodysuit that had the Uchiha fan in the middle. Naruto was in the arms of a very extremely beautiful woman, the same woman who used to bring him warm meals and clean clothes every day before she was murdered.

It was Mikoto Uchiha, Sasuke's mother.

Naruto remembered Mikoto-sama, he used to called her Miki-mama because no matter where he would go, she would find him, hold him, smile at him, and love—

"When I was sent away, I left you in Mikoto's care." Jiraya told him, "I also left instructions that should anything happen ever happen to her that you were to be send to your grandfather. You were the sole recipient of your father's estate and Kushina's pension. I also left a monthly stipend for your care and my home was yours if for some reason your grandfather chose not to accept you. Naruto, you never had to suffer, everything was put into place for you to have a happy, safe, and secure life, but the Third put you into the horrible position. He took you from Mikoto, he denied your grandfather his rights to you, and he stole your inheritance because his friends wanted to make sure that you were a danger to society. They wanted to say that you were Kyuubi—"

Sudden hope bloomed in the boy's desperate eyes as denial quickly moved back in to shut the blinders on what his hero had done and allowed to be done to him. "So the Third did not want to do it, his friends made him do all those things to me?" Naruto tried to rationalize, "The Third did not mean—"

A heavy fist slammed down on the tabletop, ending Naruto's pathetic babble. Jiraya glared at the child as he ground out in the menacing voice the boy had ever heard from him, "Saratobi-sensei was the Hokage," Jiraya spat out the words with contempt. "He had the final word on everything that was done within the Village and how it affected the lives of the people there. I will not let you dishonor his position by saying that he was manipulated by his Council. I will not let you excuse him for what he had allowed to be conducted during his reign as he refused to stand up. If we do that, then there is never anyone at fault. Even though you want to deny the truth, Naruto, Saratobi-sensei signed off on everything that happened to you. He knew what the Elders were doing yet he remained silent. But what is unforgiveable to me and the Uzumaki Clan was that the Third allowed Madra Uchiha into the village the night that you were born so Madra could take the Kyuubi. Your parents did not have to die, no one had to die, but the Third and the Council made a deal with Madra behind your father's back. Saratobi-sensei allowed you to be the scapegoat for their failed deal. He allowed it and then threw you to the wolves because he was a coward. There is no forgiveness for him, kid. You need to face that truth and let the rest of the bullshit go. You did not deserve to have any of this to happen to you. You were loved, you have a family, you were never alone, but this was all denied to you for no other reason other than greed."

Naruto was left speechless and hurt. There were no victims in Naruto's world, there were good guys and heroes along with bad guys and villains. The Third had always been a good guy in Naruto's book and the Fourth was a hero. Even the people in the village, despite all the wrongs they had done to him, they were still good people, they just needed to get to know him and respect him and one day they were going to see that he was really a hero and then they would make him Hokage.

Naruto ran out of his grandfather's house with tears streaming down his face as he fought to deny everything that Jiraya had said. Except this time it was different. Unlike Naruto's grandfather who could only speculate on the life his grandson had lived and how deeply he had suffered, Jiraya had been there from the beginning and come back at the end. Jiraya showed Naruto the life he once had and all that had been taken from him. There had been no reason for any of that to had happened to him, only it did.

Later that night, when he came trudging back to his grandfather's house, Naruto was surprised to find the old man waiting for him. There had been an uncomfortable moment before his grandfather patted the space on the porch beside him. Tiredly, Naruto sank down on the wooden floor and after a moment his grandfather handed him a small wooden cup filled with warm tea.

"Jiraya-san did not say those things to hurt you Naruto," Noriku said breaking the long silence. "But you must understand that he also hurting, we all are because our faith in people whom we respected and trusted to protect the one we loved was sorely misplaced."

At first Naruto did not understand what his grandfather meant, empathy was lost on a boy who was never shown much affection in his life, Naruto's understanding of emotions basic that it would take almost two week for him to fully comprehend what his grandfather said.

But that night, while sitting on the porch with his grandfather, Naruto had come to realize that the world was not as simple as he wanted it to be. He remembered his grandfather putting an arm around his shoulders while Naruto cried but they never spoke of the betrayal ever again.

"Naruto," he heard the familiar raspy voice of his grandfather call from the distance. Swearing under his breath, Naruto hurried from his hiding spot and leapt down from the roof of the barn. He landed in a low crouch on the floor of the corral and pushed himself from that position into a sprint towards the house. Naruto had learned his lesson, his grandfather had to call for Naruto twice if the boy wanted his ninjutsu lessons. Jiraya would be back tomorrow and he had promised Naruto he would teach new technique. His grandfather was quick to suspend all training so Naruto hurried inside, stopping long enough to remove his geta as he ran to his classroom.

Niroki smiled as the pale yellow blur of his grandson yakata flew by the door of his study. The boy did not know it, but he was beginning to heal. Niroki turned to look at the smiling photograph of his daughter that sat on the corner of his writing table. She was some in some wood, dressed in her ANBU uniform with holding her mask in one hand, her free arm was thrown around the broad shoulders of the man she would later marry. They both looked exhausted and beaten up, but they were both smiling. Kushina was grinning madly at the camera while Minato offered a polite, half-shy smile.

Maybe tomorrow, he would have Cook prepare ramen for tomorrow's lunch. Naruto would like that.

Dishonor

Year Two and half

Sasuke dodged the sword aimed at his head by quickly bringing up his own sword to parry his attacker's next swing. The two blades clashed, the force of the blow forced Sasuke back a bit, but he did not let his guard down, not after last time when Itachi managed to get a slice in on Sasuke's left shoulder.

The boy drew back and feinted with his sword and followed the attack with a swing of his scabbard. Itachi took the hit purposely, this allowed him to move inside the open space Sasuke had unintentially left open and slam the hilt of his sword into his sternum.

The air was forced out of his lungs in a harsh exhale that Itachi followed with a roundhouse kick.

This time Sasuke went down, he fell on his back, clutching his chest as he tried to draw in a breath. Itachi knelt beside his little brother and helped to pull him. From the corner of his eye, Itachi saw Iruka coming towards them with the first aid kit.

Sasuke grunted as Itachi felt for any broken bones along his ribcage. Upon finding none, Itachi pulled Sasuke to his feet and before stepping away to retrieve his sword.

"I think you need to spend another afternoon with Gai," Itachi told him as he watched Sasuke retrieve his own weapon.

The boy blanched as he turned to his brother with a look of absolute horror on his face, "You swore you would never do that again," the boy cried out in fear. "Not after last time."

"What other choice do I have? You keep leaving yourself open," Itachi said pointedly as he walked over to cooler that held two bottles of water. He tossed on to Sasuke before helping himself to his own. "You have two choices, you either become faster or you come up with a defense to protect yourself, if you don't you are going to end up with a kunai in your chest."

Dropping down on the dirt floor, Sasuke pulled off his shirt and used it to rub the sweat off his neck and chest. Itachi was walking back towards the weapon's stand looking to return his sword.

"We will pick this up again tomorrow." Itachi told him.

Sasuke looked up at his brother in surprise, "What? Why?" It was not normal for Itachi to end their training sessions early, especially with Sasuke's ANBU field exam less than a month away.

Itachi glanced back his little brother, an amused smile graced his face as he watched the kid pour half of bottle contents over his shaggy head. "Iruka invited me out on a double date with him and his girlfriend. Forgive me for wanted to spend time with other people other than dealing with your constant teenage angst."

The angsty teenager made an obscene gesture that had his older brother crowing in delight.

They sat there in silence for the moment, enjoying the peace and serenity of nature as they allowed their minds to drift over unimportant things. Sasuke wondered absently wondered if this latest girl was going to last with his brother. Over the last two years, since Itachi had been reinstated as shinobi of Konoha and the leader of the Uchiha Clan, women have been falling over themselves to become his wife. Sasuke was very pleased the pressure was off of him to find and bed a bride, but he wasn't ready to share his brother either.

His and Itachi's relationship was finally back on track. For the first year, Itachi had been walking on eggshells while trying to be everything for Sasuke and Sasuke resented him for it. They had a fight, a big one that went from physical to verbal before it finally ended with both brothers sobbing in each other's arms. Itachi needed forgiveness, what he had done—even though it was his duty—it was destroying him. Sasuke let go of his hate and the self-loathing he had been carrying around sense that night. He wanted his brother back and in the end, that was Sasuke had, but he wasn't ready to share Itachi with some else just yet.

An hour after Itachi had left for his double date with Iruka and his girlfriend, Sasuke lay on his bed staring at the his old framed photograph of his Genin team, his dark eyes fixed on scrunched up little face of his blond-haired teammate.

Sakura was still around but Sasuke did not feel the need to associate with her with Team Kakashi being on stand down until further notice. Kakashi had returned to the field in lieu of the Hokage's request. He had been promoted and now headed an advance ANBU tactical unit. Sasuke desperately wanted to be in unit. Only the best shinobi, masters really of the different branches were selected for this unit and this year, Sasuke was determined to make it.

After Itachi, Sasuke was the second youngest person to be named to ANBU. When he released from the hospital, Sasuke was told that by the Lady Hokage his performance during the Chunin Exam earned him the rank of Chunin and for was his prowess on the battlefield, Sasuke earned the rank of Jounin. At thirteen, Sasuke preformed a rare coup by achieving both ranks in less than year apart.

It had all seemed surreal at that moment. He remembered Kakashi quietly congratulating him and then Sakura was embracing him. Iruka had been in the background, his expression taunt as a woman with short black hair, whom name Sasuke would later learn was Shizune, was speaking quietly to the Academy teacher.

Iruka-sensei's shoulders tense as he shot the woman a withering look. She, in turn, grabbed his left arm, her small thought nails dug into Iruka's bicep as a spasm of irritation crossed her face at the teacher's hardening expression.

It was sublet gesture towards him, but Sasuke saw it and he read the inaudible words on Iruka's lips…

"…have been Naruto, too."

Laying on his bed, letting the aches and pains of the day's training settle into his body, Sasuke closed his eyes and imagined golden hair and laughing blue eyes. He thought of things boys should not think of, especially when it came to other boys who should have been…

"It should have been Naruto…"

*.*.*

With a raking grin dancing across his lips, Iruka turned around in his seat ready to ask Itachi get impression on date. The words died right on his lips and grumpily, Iruka snatched up his shot and downed it one glup.

"Don't tell me you don't like Aiko?" Iruka demanded sullenly. "Because I don't know what there isn't to like? She's smart, pretty, not superficial, and as a bonus, she has a nice rack, how could you not like her. At least for one night?"

Itachi gave his friend a slow, appraising glance before raising his cup of tea to his lips "Sasuke is not ready for me to start dating," he said quietly.

A look of incredulity made its mark on Iruka's face before the man dropped his face his cupped palms. "I knew it," he hissed under his breath.

Itachi gaze flicked over to the where their dates had disappeared going to washroom. "I have no intention of living as monk," Itachi told him. Then his dark eyes narrowed and beneath the table he kicked Iruka in the leg, "I am not going have a string of one stands, you freak. The goal was to find me a bloody wife, not a mistress."

Wincing, Iruka rubbed at his sore shin as he glared, "We should include Foolish in on this, then maybe you both could have a double wedding or something."

"One, Sasuke is only fifteen and he's nowhere near ready for marriage. And two—"

"We can still help him get a girlfriend or something?" The teacher suggested, "The younger girls in the village still want him even though he no longer the Uchiha heir."

"…and two," Itachi said coolly, he really hated to be interrupted, "Sasuke is gay."

First, Iruka's jaw dropped, then after a moment, his eyes narrowed as he regarded his best pal with suspicion. "You are shitting me, right?"

With a shake of his head, Itachi reached for his teacup. "I found him a weeks ago making out with some blond kid in his room." His nose wrinkled up in disgust. "I can handle him being gay, but I can't take him fucking in my house. That's where I live, sleep, take a shit, and eat—I don't even fuck in my own house and it is my house."

Slack-jawed and bewildered, Iruka could only watch helplessly as Itachi descended into a fit of hysteria all because his brother was sexually active. And it was eww, bit more information than he needed because, eww, Foolish was gay and looking at how that kid's has grown over the years (and was still growing) he most likely pounding the shit out some little blond kid—

"Aww, hell, it's in my head!" Iruka shrieked as he started to claw at his hair.

It was at that moment Iruka's girl friend and Itachi's date returned to the table.

Dishonor

After Itachi had been released from the hospital there had been a tense moment not just between him and Sasuke, but with Itachi and the entire village.

It shocking how easily people were manipulated. The history of the Uchiha clan had been changed to suit the propaganda that marked Itachi as a traitor. In the prefect version, the Uchihas had been one of the more honourable and respected clans in the village that wiped out by the power hungry and mad eldest son of the clan head.

The truth was pushed out fast by the Hokage, documents were released the exonerated Itachi yet tarnished the Uchiha name. Yet Tsunade did not allow that to go too far as the truth behind the Uchiha's sudden turn on the village was brought forth into the light. Mikoto's letters to the Hokage protesting against Naruto Namikaze's removal from her household were leaked the two important journals within the village. Those letters and several other important and very incriminating documents from the Council's office had been leaked and the villagers were asking questions.

Kidnappings, the denial of the Fourth Hokage's child, the stolen inheritances, and the authorized murders of several power shinobi, and then rumors of the elders betraying the village. The public's outcry of justice and the Lord Daimyo's demand for an investigation into all the allegations had now taken over major part of Konoha business. The Investigative Unit was working overtime-pulling documents and supeanoing witnesses, the Council elders and clan heads at the time of the any of the transgression were being summoned before special courts and military tribunals.

It was going on close to two years and the special prosecutor and the grand jury were still viewing the evidence for first of crime of treason against a Hokage and the Council. Danzo Shimura was dead. He had died while trying to assassinate the Hokage. Lady Tsunade had been alone in her office when Danzo during the height of the investigation into the ROOT organization and Danzo's activities since the Third Shinobi.

Iruka said it was singularly the most blatantly acts of stupidity he had ever heard in his entire, and Mizuki held that title for good long while. Danzo was never sloppy but this had been utter madness on the old man part that was in truth bewildering.

Maybe the pressure was getting to him, maybe he was just desperate for it all to come to an. Even his contemporaries were taking any path they could to escape the scrunty and the humiliations of being arrested and the prospect of facing a trial. Few were willing to brave it, they protested that they were doing what was only best for the village. It was a terrible lie that those now fallen and besmirched used to cloak their greed and self-righteousness.

Tsunade stared at the stone face of her teacher, wondering for the countless time how could he have allowed this to have happened.

Orochimaru was not going to simply go away, he was still after Sasuke and was he determined to kill Itachi.

Madra Uchiha was still out there, hiding in Ame, pulling together his mad-man's dream of world domination.

A sudden knock on her door had Tsunade turning away from the Hokage Mountain to face the girl Tsunade had taken as her student.

Sakura bowed to his master before placing the bound scroll that had just been delivered on the Lady Hokage's desk. The courier had come from Wave and he was waiting with Shizune who was looking at his injured ankle.

Tsunade put the scroll aside only to reach for a bound one that bore the Hokage's seals that she handed over to Sakura along with a money pouch. "Send a message Iruka Umino," Tsunade told the girl, "He is to appear before me as soon as he is able."

Sakura bowed and hurried to do as she ordered. At the door she hesitated, Tsunade looked up, curious as to what the girl would want to say and not doing what she was told.

Biting on her bottom lip, Sakura wanted to ask…

"Sakura, I don't have all day for you to dawdled. Hurry, child, I want Iruka here now."

Embarrassed, Sakura hurried out the door and ran to Shizune's office before hurrying off to find Iruka-sensei.

Once her door was closed, Tsunade opened Jiraya's report. She put aside Naruto's personal letters to Iruka without a glance as she devoted her attention on Naruto's latest achievement.
