The next day Sasuke had decided to call up his brother. He was curious to see if Itachi had gained any new leads and at the same time he wanted to discuss with Itachi Naruto not seeing him. It was definitely the most unusual case he ever worked and he wouldn’t bother with the fact he just might need more help from his brother than expected.
Driving back into town, there wasn’t any reception in the house and Sasuke figured he’d be safe for a couple of hours; furniture seemed to be coming into the house and Naruto was just setting it up so he probably wouldn’t miss anything, besides he needed some more background information.
Pulling up at a local cafe Sasuke grabbed a table ordering a coffee when the waitress came over. She tried to make polite small talk noticing he wasn’t from around here however Sasuke just gave her his usual grunts and noncommittal sounds before she got the message he didn’t want to speak to her and left.
Pulling out his cell phone Sasuke speed dialled Itachi. It only took about two rings when his brother’s deep voice was heard on the other side.
“Are you at work” Sasuke didn’t want to bother Itachi if he was too busy since he could probably call back later.
“It’s fine I’m just reading some reports although I am surprised little brother I didn’t expect you to call me so soon. I assume something of interest happened.”
The waitress placed the cup of coffee in front of him, taking a small sip of the bitter liquid Sasuke waited until the waitress left before he explained the events of the day before.
“I see” Itachi’s voice was calm as ever but Sasuke could here the small hint of interest. “I will speak to Jiraiya and see if it was the same with him. Though it is rather peculiar little brother for a spirit not to see a person. And you say he disappeared during the night only to reappear and seem as if he could see you?” Sasuke nodded not caring his brother couldn’t see him Itachi knew him well enough to know what he was doing.
“I haven’t heard of such a situation before but I’ll also look into the records and see what they say.”
The records were a collection of books detailing the Uchiha history. It ranged from information about Spirits to tales of their ancestors. Because of the content the books were also a heavily guarded secret in the Uchiha household, located in a secret room beneath the Shrine of their family house. Technically only those with the Sharingan could enter the Shrine or even read the texts however Itachi was able to easily bypass the seals and interpret the text. That didn’t mean he used some funky supernatural powers to let him get into the room and read the book, it was just the seals didn’t seem to have any impact on him. Usually those who tried to enter that weren’t meant too would feel as if a thousand needles were piercing through their skin ripping them to shred. If worst came to worst and someone managed to nullify the seals they wouldn’t be able to read the records because only by activating the Sharingan would you be able to make sense of the words otherwise it just a bunch of gibberish.
His mother once told him when he questioned why Itachi could read the records was that his father had suspected that Itachi should’ve received the Sharingan. However when he was four he was in an accident, although he had come out seemingly unharmed the doctors had to run some test because he had hit his head and they wanted to make sure he didn’t have any internal injury. However they ended up finding something completely different. It seemed that Itachi had glaucoma. This is where the transparent fluids that circulates the eyes fails to drain properly due to blockage resulting in a built up of pressure. The pressure would damage the structure of the eye causing a person to become blind. Itachi suffered from Chronic Glaucoma meaning if left untreated he would become blind over time. But because the doctors were able to detect it early on they were able to give him medication to remove the blockage however the medication had to be taken continuously it couldn’t be stopped.
It was because of this that both Mikoto and Fugaku believed Itachi was denied the Sharingan not because he didn’t have enough Spiritual powers, but since the Sharingan was an ocular power and Itachi’s eyes were weakened it was most likely the Sharingan would’ve done more damage to his eyesight stopping it from awakening.
Sasuke was rather disheartened when he heard that, he was unaware Itachi had such a condition and had to take medication, he couldn’t imagine what it would be like the threat of blindness if you didn’t constantly take medicine.
He didn’t mention it to his brother he knew since Itachi never spoke about it and Sasuke didn’t want to make his brother upset. But it appeared that even if the Sharingan couldn’t be activated he was still recognized as a carrier and could read the texts.
“-I have managed to find a few former friends of his I emailed you their names as well as the rest of the information I was able to dig up.” Sasuke was snapped out of his thoughts as Itachi droned on, fortunately he was able to capture the important points of what his brother said.
“Hn” Sasuke replied pretending as if he had listened to Itachi from the start, he hoped his brother didn’t say anything else of importance aside from the friends bit; he would rather not be caught by his brother having allowed his mind to drift. Itachi had a rather demented habit of tormenting Sasuke at any given opportunity and catching Sasuke daydreaming was a perfect opportunity since Uchiha’s were the prime example of focusing.
“Can you email me a list of all previous occupants that had bought the house since the fire?”
“Is there enough time to question them little brother?”
“It doesn’t make much of a difference I just need some form of comparison Jiraiya mentioned Naruto seeing the people that lived there after he had died yet he could not see me.”
Getting everything he needed out of Itachi for the time being Sasuke promise to update him if something new happened. He was about to hang up when the question he had been curious about popped into his head
“Itachi does Deidara…” he trailed off leaving the end unspoken.
Hearing his brother sigh he could practically see Itachi running a hand through his hair, a habit he picked up after their parents death and only ever used when he had to discuss something difficult like this.
“No. I didn’t think it would be of any benefit to tell him now” meaning he planned on telling Deidara sometime.
Sasuke just gave his usual response before hanging up.
Going to the library Sasuke wanted to see what Itachi had sent him.
Grabbing the same computer as the last time Sasuke signed in to his email, clicking on the email Itachi sent him he opened the attachment files.
The first file was a photocopy of the police record of the death of Uzumaki Kushina. The paper was battered and edges damaged showing its shelf life until Itachi managed to get it dug up.

For some strange reason as Sasuke looked over the report Kushina’s address was blacked out and even more surprising how quickly the case was dropped. It had only been a couple of months since Kushina’s death and more importantly the criminal in question had committed two other crimes before killing Kushina. Though Sasuke wasn’t that well versed in the law he was quite sure that the case shouldn’t have bee dropped that quickly.
Looking over the signature of the Inspector who closed the case Sasuke was vaguely able to make out the letters A. Sarutobi written out roughly. Scribbling that down Sasuke questioned the possibility of foul play into Naruto’s mother’s death. Maybe that was the reason Naruto couldn’t move on he had discovered something but then it wouldn’t explain why he would commit suicide, would he not try to find out the truth? Deciding he would go question the inspector, either way Sasuke had a strange feeling about his mother’s death; something just did not add up.
The next file was a brief report on how Kushina had met Minato.
It appeared they had meet during their teenage years, Minato whilst scoring the city during the summer when his father was doing business had met Kushina when he had stopped in a café for a drink. Kushina at that time was 17 whilst Minato had been 19; it was also only a few months after Minato’s marriage to Yamanaka Ino daughter of Yamanaka Inouchi, owner of the Yamanaka Hotel chain a famous international hotel line that had hotel’s in the likes of America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand ect.
It was rather obvious it was a business marriage but then again such marriages were rather common in the business world. Minato though learning how to take over his father’s company wouldn’t do so until he had married. Unlike the Uchiha family the Namikaze family were rather strict on heirs and whatnots; therefore unless you could guarantee having an heir within the next five to ten years of taking Presidency of the company, you wouldn’t gain that position hence the fact that it was very rare for a Namikaze not to be married by the age of 20. It also meant you got to have an early retirement, in appearance this meant for Presidents to spend time with their families having more children not just so they could have heirs. In reality it usually meant both the former President and their wife can move away from the spotlight and take partners of their choice and not worry about destroying the family reputation.
It was rather a well thought out plan, members of the Namikaze family would only just have to give up a certain number of years to the family and then they could pursue their own happiness. Unfortunately though it usually meant the eldest child never having any real relationship with their father because essentially from the moment they are born they are pretty much surrounded with the knowledge they are there so their father can pass the torch to them and go have fun.
It didn’t however mean that former Presidents would just leave the working world; they were still very much incorporated into the Namikaze corp. It just meant they were no longer the face of the corporation allowing them to indulge in their shenanigans.
The only reason Deidara had gained Presidency was because his father had not enforced that rule upon him nor chosen a future bride. Then again with Deidara’s personality it was quit possible he simply refused.
There wasn’t very much on meetings between Minato and Kushina aside from the fact that when Minato would come to the city he usually went to the café Kushina worked. Whether or not Kushina was aware of who Minato was, was also never mentioned.
The only real evidence of any form of relation between them was a letter written by Kushina to Minato 3 years after their first meeting
Minato
I’m sure you questioning why I would get back in contact with you after everything that has happened. Had this not been an important situation I would never have spoken to you again.
So I will just get straight to the point. Minato I am pregnant and the child is yours. I wasn’t going to tell you because I do not want to be a home wrecker, had I been aware of you marital status I would never have given myself to you.
But you already know that.
I am keeping the child. I will not demand you to be a father. I only tell you because of my conscience.
I hope you and you wife live a long and happy life.
Goodbye Minato and for what it’s worth even if I was nothing more than a body to warm you bed I truly did love you.
Kushina
Sasuke could clearly make out the smudges from where tears drops splashed on the pages when Kushina wrote this. Though the letter was short it did answer some questions. Kushina was obviously unaware of Minato being married and it appeared as if Minato did not tell her. It also appeared she was a highly moral person considering she informed Minato of his future child despite the way he treated her.
It also told him despite everything she was still very much in love with him which he thought rather foolish all things considering but then if there was one thing Sasuke couldn’t understand was love, it made no sense to him. Itachi had always told him it was one of those emotions that one must experience in order to understand. Sasuke had yet to experience it so he didn’t quite understand but that was fine by him.
Checking the time he saw he had spent over 3 hours in town, his eyes widened fractionally not having expected to stay out so long. He quickly printed the files Itachi sent him as well as the ones he didn’t get to read, logging out and grabbing his stuff he took his work before sprinting to his car so he could get back to the house. He wasn’t sure anything happened but hopefully nothing did.
As soon as he got back the house he was greeted with a fully furnished home, furniture and all and strangely books. Scratch that a lot of books; in fact the house seemed to be drowning in it. Oh anime pictures too.
It was a rather peculiar taste in art Sasuke mused having become accustomed to the fancy paintings at Itachi’s home. He preferred keeping the wall bare finding it too much trouble to search for the right painting and whatnots that would go perfectly on his cream colour walls. Besides decorating was more a female’s job.
Going to his room it just as he expected there was the bare necessities such as bed, wardrobe ect.
A fluffy blue rug was situated in the middle separating the bed that was against the left wall from the desk that was placed against the wall on the right, a small bedside table with a lamp sat snugly beside the bed. There were two large windows at the far back opening to reveal the forestry behind the house. The wardrobe was placed in between them with a set of draws beside the desk.
The room was rather spacious but because of that it seemed rather bare. It didn’t exclude the homey feeling that Sasuke experienced when he entered the house. The poster, books, all gave the house a feeling as if it belonged to someone, however this room just appeared as one of those places real estate agents would try to sell off, empty and cold, just having what was needed to survive. It didn’t appear as if Naruto expected anyone to stay over but he had a guest room just in case.
Going over to the bed Sasuke found his bag underneath the bed where he had put it last time. He wasn’t sure how the house reverting would effect the things he brought with him but he figured under the bed would probably be the safest place and he was right. He figured he could start off packing away his clothing; he had been in a rush that morning so he didn’t bother doing it then.
Placing the empty bag under his bed he took out his journal along with the printouts, he didn’t have much time to look over it wanting to check up on Naruto so instead he placed it inside the top draw on the bedside table to look over later.
Leaving his room he went to search for Naruto, as well as maybe the heater because his room was rather chilly.
He found Naruto in what was meant to be the ball room but now appeared as if something out of a toy store. There were plushies every where and ranging from a cute green eyed fox to a overly large light brown bear with a red ribbon tied around it’s neck.
There were different sections, one for all the figurines which was displayed in two display cases and a small table. Another section was cushions with various anime faces; there was even one with a picture of a steaming bowl of ramen. Piles of more manga book pretty much littered every where it really made Sasuke wonder exactly how many books did he have it seemed endless. There were also multiple piles of plushies; it seemed anime characters were being grouped together which lead Sasuke to find Naruto at the 07 Ghost section. He was currently trying to organize a doll sized plushy of Ayanami who in Sasuke opinion was supporting a rather evil smirk to sit beside a plushy of Teito.
The pink tip of Naruto’s tongue stuck with his face contorted in concentration as he tried to make the display exactly perfect.
If Sasuke was anyone else he would’ve gushed at how adorable Naruto was however since he was Uchiha Sasuke he settled on staring Naruto’s tongue all the while not having any thoughts about it.
“Aha perfect” snapping him out of his not thoughts Sasuke saw Naruto had finished with his with his display a look of happiness upon his face at a job well done.
Getting up Naruto made his way out of the ball room with Sasuke trailing behind him to finish putting away the rest of his remaining books.
