You Ain't Never Met A Guy Like Me

Naruto looked down at the ground, sighing to himself as he walked with Itachi at his side protectively, Obito on the other side of him being hilarious and cracking jokes, annoying everyone, but amusing Naruto the most. They were more aimed towards Naruto anyways to cheer him up.

"Shut the hell up Tobi!" Deidara growled.

"Fox! Protect me!" 'Tobi' squeaked and hopped behind Naruto.

"Hehehe. Okay." Naruto then paused and inhaled loudly. "I AM THE FOX DEMON! LEAVE MY PROPERTY ALONE OR DIE SCREAMING IN AGONY!" MWAHAHAHA!" Naruto laughed. "BELIEVE IT!"

"Property?" Tobi tilted his head.

"Believe it?" Itachi turned to Naruto and smiled weakly, covering his mouth, muffling his laughter.

"Great. Now Tobi is rubbing off on Naruto." Deidara face-palmed.

"Eh, if you ask me. Naruto is much more cute when he does it." Kisame chuckled and licked his teeth before moving forwards again.

"....I'm not cute!?" Tobi frowned, feeling heartbroken. "OOWWWW!"

"Don't worry. I think your cool." Naruto shrugged.

"At least you like me." Tobi smiled under his mask like an idiot and giggled as he walked beside him and Itachi.

Itachi looked forwards, smiling happily. He liked their company. One he knew for a long time. The other he just grew heavily attached too. The group moved forwards, speaking about the fight mainly, how some didn't see any sugnificence and how they lost sasori. The group of 7 moved together, straw hats on their heads to hide their faces from traveling peasants. Naruto, Itachi and Tobi where snickering almost constantly as they told each other funny stories and things they found funny from their past lives. Naruto was enjoying this kind of friendship between him and the other two akatsuki members. He never knew they could be this humane to him.

The group found an inn to stay at while they rested up and caught their breathe. Naruto was dead tired, so when he hit the bed for his shared room with tobi and Itachi and Deidara, he was out. Deidara looked at him and chuckled.

"This guy, is to cute." Deidara smiled.

"MINE!" Toni leapt into the bed and hovered over the passed out teen.

"Both of you shut the hell up The damn man is sleeping." Itachi laid in his shared bed with Deidara and closed his eyes.

"Sheesh. i was just saying the facts when i see them, hn." Deidara shook his head.

Tobi growled protectively and the two others sighed and got comfortable before falling asleep.

Obito sighed some as he rested beside Naruto, pulling his head against his chest gently, with a soft touch so that he didn't accidentally wake him. He lifted his mask and kissed the back of his head before pulling his mask back on and falling asleep.

The morning came sadly for the group, as it meant their traveling is to resume again, until nightfall. But Itachi, being put in charge of the group, stated that they were only a day and a half away from the hidden rain. They will get there, walking past midnight and around 2:00am if everything goes according to his plans. They needed to be woken though. Itachi woke first, dressing before waking everyone else up. They all got dressed rather quickly sense Itachi kept barking at them to hurry up. Naruto was ready in four, Kisame in five and so on. Itachi made sure to keep Kisame in his eyesight at all times when he was awake, or if he was anywhere around Naruto. Tobi, wasn't that bad to the point he would literally rape him like Kisame was, so Tobi didn't concern him nearly as much as Kisame did. Deidara and Kakuzu were also in his caution zone as well. 

"Whyyyy!?!?" Tobi cried. " I hate walking!" 

"Deal with it Tobi, we all have to." Kakuzu growled.

" Hehehe, you have no tolerance." Naruto chuckled. "Like a child" 

"No!" Tobi gasps. " Eh, probably right on that one." He then shrugged and moved forwards.

Naruto watched him and started to laugh out loud in an inside joke only him and Itachi understood, it's why Itachi would laugh along with him and Tobi in the first place, sense he knew the to identity of the smol child. Itachi looked up, having realised he was zoning out as he walked forwards and turned to see Deidara's arm around Naruto's shoulder. Itachi growled in dominance and Deidara smirked and stuck out his tongue.

"Jealousy now? How unlike you, hn!" Deidara chuckled outwardly.

"I'm not jealous. I just don't trust you to be around Naruto is all. You are such an awful person. You made half of us so sore we could do stand for a few days without yelling in pain. Kakuzu is even worse! And Don't get my started on Kisame..." Itachi shook his head.

"Your no fun. You love the shit out of Naruto to. It's obvious. You almost never smile and recently that's all you've done." Deidara kissed the top of Naruto's head.

Naruto shuddered and he squirmed a lot in his hold before escaping, running and catching up with Tobi. Naruto sighed some and attached himself to the male. Tobi giggled and patted Naruto's head and smirked, looking back at the two. Itachi sighed and Deidara shrugged and they ran and caught up with the group as they walked.

Naruto looked forwards and made some healthy conversation here and there, with Itachi, and Hidan and Tobi.

"Seriously? You fought Zabuza on your first genin mission? Yikes. Poor thing must have been scared like a pansy." Hidan chuckled. "That's rough."

"Yeah, even Kakashi had trouble with him. But me and Sasuke managed....well, I managed to beat him." Naruto chuckled. "I made him good and he went suicide and killed the people he worked for to help us."

"Wow....how do you do that?" Hidan asked.

"Talk no jutsu." Naruto smirked. "Learned it when I stole the forbidden ninjutsu scroll, also learned how to make hundreds of shadow clones in a perfect way from it."

"How did you manage to sneak past the security around it?" Itachi and Tobi asked at once.

"Oh! Well, I had a little help from a friend. I was very short and small then, and I knew how to sneak around. It's not that hard. Besides my friend took out the guards!" He chuckled. "He is in jail now."

Kakuzu and Kisame were both looking at him now with amazement. And unison they both said;

"Damn"
