Okay by chapter 26 you should know that I don't own Naruto okay? Before I begin, if you didn't notice the date I started this story in 2009, then you will know that some things will be off how it really ended up. But that is what we knew at the time so that's how it went and I have to make the story fit as such. Yes I know it has taken me forever to update but I do plan to finish this. Even if it is eventually. But enough of this A/N, on with the fic!

"Sasuke!" Itachi said slightly surprised, but changing into a battle stance when he got there.

"One of the most feared memebrs of the Akatsuki brought down coming out of the bathroom. What a shame." Sasuke said as he held out his sword.

"You don't want to do this Sasuke." Itachi said.

"Yes I do. You murdered our whole clan. And what is the deal with the baby?" Sasuke said.

"You see Sasuke when a man and woman love each other very much, they do this special-" Itachi began,

"I know HOW it happened, but who is the mother and why did you decide to name the child after me?" Sasuke asked.

"Maybe you should tell him the truth." Konan said, standing beside Itachi.

"Are you sure? And the baby?" Itachi asked.

"The baby is asleep. But maybe he needs to know to put his rage in the right spot." Konan said.

"My rage is in the right spot. Nothing will change my mind." Sasuke said.

"Maybe you will see things differently." Itachi began.

"I will let you try me." Sasuke said.

"It all starts years ago." Itachi began.

Madara looked on silently. As Madame Yomi had already scolded him as Tobi, he felt it best to leave her alone when she was taking care of baby Sasuke. This is going better than I could have hoped. Itachi is telling Saskue everything and that will direct his rage away to Konoha. He doesn't know the truth and is serving them. He's also a hothead. I can convince him to betray. Madara thought as he headed out of the hall. He headed outside to think over what was happening so far. The Hidden Mist would soon fall and surrender to Ame. Sure, Suna and Konoha were allying together, rumors of the kages even teaming up to fight Pein, but this was something that he could handle. Pein did take out Jiraiya after all. No doubt he could take out them. "All according to plan. This could go better than I had ever hoped."

Sakura focused on her chakra as best she could to make sure the injured ninja were taken care of. Time went on and she was hearing more and more reports of caulties that she could just not keep up with. Shizune headed over to Sakura and tapped her on the shoulder. "Are you okay Sakura-chan?"

"It doesn't matter. We're at war." Sakura said. "Katsyu." She ordered.

"Yes Sakura." One of Katsyu's slugs said looking up at her.

"Let Lady Tsunade know that we need more reenforcements. I cannot leave this spot right now." Sakura said.

"I am sorry to inform you that Lady Tsunade has left for the front lines with Gaara, the Kazekage to fight with the people." The slug said.

"But! But! What will happen to her? We need her expertise at the hospital." Sakura pleaded.

"She has ordered in case of her death that Kakashi Hatake be named Hokage. Shizune, can we trust that you will find Kakashi?" Katsyu asked.

"No need." Kakashi said as he limped into the room Sakura was working in. "I took a kunai to the side fighting one of Pein's paths. All I can say is the real one is not among them."

"Like shadow clones?" Shizune asked.

"No. I got him, and he fell to the ground dead, but that's just it. One of was dead. Clearly dead." Kakashi said trying to understand what had happened. "What did you need me for?"

"You are to be Hokage if Tsunade dies." Katsyu said, causing Kakashi to look at the slug with a little bit of a shock. He was used to talking to animal summons but he was unprepared for such a duty at a time like this. "She says this is to ensure that the best is done for the village and people like Danzo do not take control."

"I'm honored she trusts me so much." Kakashi said.

"What about the body. If it's not a shadow clone but dead, there's a lot of information about how we may be able to defeat Pein in it." Shizune said.

"I had thought of that and had some people who were fighting with me bring it to the morgue." Kakashi said.

"Already making leadership decisions." Sakura said looking at her sensei with adminration.

"Well it needed to be done." Kakashi said. "Tsunade is still alive but she's putting herself in danger. I can understand why. Naruto and Jiraiya's death shook her up badly. She's going to try and end this with Gaara. Correct?" He asked Katsyu.

"Yes Kakashi sir." Katsyu replied.

Kakashi knew he would need to get a better picture of the battlefield before he made any decisions and act as an interm hokage in this battle. Tsunade is going to get herself killed, no matter how good Gaara is himself. He thought as he looked around. Sakura was concentrating her chakra with Katsyu to make sure the shinobi on the front lines were getting the treatment they needed but it could only do so much. Eventually she would run out of chakra and with her previous injury, this would be faster than it would before. Kakashi looked to Shizune. "Shizune, I want you to take Karin and any other medical ninja you think would be helpful and to examine the corpse."

"Why Karin? She's been helpful with that biting technique of hers to help get people back on the front lines who had more minor injuries." Shizune said.

"Because she can only do so much before that ends up being used up." Sakura said speaking up. "She had seen some of the weird stuff Orochimaru did so she might be able to help piece together some of the picture."

"Exactly." Kakashi said.

"Let me heal you before you take command." Sakura said speaking up, tending to his wound.

"Thanks." Kakashi said taking a breath.

"So you're telling me that Konoha ordered you to kill the whole clan because they were planning a coop because they thought they were being mistreated after being blamed for the Nine tails attack?" Sasuke said simply.

"I wouldn't expect you to believe me." Itachi said. "However if you were to try and kill me, this won't be easy. Before the birth of my son, I would have just let you do it." Itachi said sternly.

"Yes. Like I said, I don't expect you to believe me. But think. Think back to when you were young. Is there a better explination?" Itachi said.

"Yes, there has to be. Psychopaths can fake it for those they care about!" Sasuke yelled.

Konan sighed and moved closer to Sasuke. She was fed up with his stubbornness. "Listen here you little brat. If you think Itachi was as demented as you're thinking, then why wouldn't he have just killed my son? Or killed me when I told him I was pregnant? Why am I safe?"

"Because you're his slut." Sasuke said as Konan slapped him.

"I can take care of myself thank you very much. I don't need Itachi to. I just want him alive so my son isn't an orphan. I think you would know what that is like." Konan said.

"Yeah because he killed our parents!" Sasuke said pointing at Itachi.

"And I was an orphan too. So we know what each other went through. And while I don't intend to die to protect my child or his father, I will fight to the death to ensure that this doesn't happen." Konan said looking at Sasuke with intense rage.

"Konan don't-" Itachi begged. "This is between me and Sasuke. He's my brother after all. His grudge is with me. I appreciate your willingness to fight but little Sasuke needs at least one of his parents." Itachi said activating his Sharingan.

"Well he'll know what it's like to lose his father." Sasuke said.

"I hoped it wouldn't come to this little brother." Itachi said as he lunged forward as Konan created a paper barrier between them. "Stay out of this. I told you, it's my fight with Sasuke. If he chooses not to believe then I will have to deal with this. You don't need to get wrapped up in the fight."

"I do. Sorry Itachi-kun but I will not let him take you on alone. You can tell me not to all you want but I will fight to protect those who I love." Konan said as she placed her hand on the floor and the floor turned to paper, causing Sasuke to fall down into it and she closed it around him.

Madara saw the fight and knew it couldn't end well if it was allowed to continue. Maybe if I tell Sasuke the truth, he will believe me on the matter. If I am going to finish using these people for my revenge, then I will need him on my side. He thought as he dove in, throwing a smoke bomb into the fight, and pulling Sasuke out of the paper trap and then disappearing from the room.

"What's going on?" Konan said as she looked around as the smoke cleared.

"I don't know….." Itachi said looking around. "Where's Sasuke?"

"He was right there." Konan said looking at the floor puzzed. "I had him trapped in my jutsu."

Itachi looked around. Something was off here. Someone had jumped in and taken Sasuke away. For what reason he didn't know and he didn't know it could be good. "Konan, have you seen Tobi lately?" Itachi asked.

Konan paused. Madara had revelaed himself to her as Tobi but she did not know if Itachi knew this. "You think Tobi did this?" She asked, keep up the Tobi illusion. "He's an idiot who Madame Yomi has to keep telling him to stop playing with baby Sasuke so much."

"I know, but I'm beginning to think there is more to him than leads on and that he may be something else." Itachi said.

"I hadn't seen him since this morning when Madame Yomi told him off for being too rough with baby Sasuke." Konan said, making sure they were talking about the same Sasuke.

"Well I have a sneaking suspicion that he may be involved in this." Itachi said.

Sasuke looked up and around. He had been knocked unconscious in the explosion and now was in a secret cavernous room. He tried to move his arms around and could not. "Did someone tie me up?" Sasuke asked as he looked over to see Tobi, or what he thought was Tobi sitting there giggling to himself. "What's so funny?"

"You. Your brother confesses something he wanted to hide from you all these years and you still don't believe him. You find he has a son that he named after you and you think his story is full of shit." Tobi laughed. "You can be quite the idiot. You got trapped in Konan's paper pit after all."

"I could tell she was skilled somewhat. Don't make fun of me." Sasuke sulked.

"No, you're right Konan is skilled and saved your brother from a natural death." Tobi said.

"A natural death?" Sasuke asked.

"Tuburclosis. But that's not the point here. You heard your brother's story and I can tell you it's true. He was indeed ordered to kill the clan. They were trying to commit a coup because they felt they were being ill treated and blamed for the Nine tails attack. One thing you didn't know, is that he asked to spare you." Tobi said.

"Spare me?" Sasuke laughed. "He just wanted my eyes to take."

"Think about it. He could have easily killed you and would have if he was as demented as you thought. But between seeing how he treats Konan and his son, leaving you alive to bring honor back to Uchiha, well that was his plan before baby Sasuke was born, now I don't know…." Tobi trailed on

"Get to the point." Sasuke sighed.

"Konoha wanted you dead too. He made sure you could live. The only one who could. He threatened those who may want to hurt you like Danzo and the village elders. They wanted you dead despite being a child who knew nothing about it. The village that used to be such an ally to the Uchiha and needed them so much, wanting to kill you all because they thought one of you attacked the village with no proof. Just a conjecture that only the sharingan could control the Nine tails." Tobi said.

"Why should I believe you Tobi?" Sasuke asked. "I know your reputation. The Akatsuki's pet retard they couldn't really shake off. You just along for the ride acting like an idiot and a good boy."

"Because Tobi is not my name." He said as he flashed his Sharingan and removed the mask. "I am Madara and I will get my revenge. With you by my side."

So how was that? Good? Bad? Short? Long? Let me know in a review. Yes I know Tobi wasn't Madara but I started this back in like 2009 when it wasn't really confirmed so I went off that. So yes this is slightly AU based off how it ended up being but I am not revising a story I started 11 years ago to match perfectly. If you want to redo this with more cannon info, go right on ahead. But anyway remember to read (well you just did) and to review. Ciao for now,
