The teahouse we were sitting in was quite nice. How couldn't it be. Dangos and tea were amazing. These especially. I brought the tea up to my mouth, while pulling my hat further down, so my face wouldn't be exposed. I wasn't too bothered by our mission in the current moment. That was, until three Ninjas started to talk. They stood right in front of the teahouse. "While I'm here to buy offerings, I've made plans to meet here.... with Sasuke-kun." The grey haired Shinobi answered a question. His attention moved to us mid talking. He knew. My smirk disappeared after noticing Itachi. He shifted uncomfortably as Sasuke's name was mentioned. 

The co-star of the show appeared, Uchiha Sasuke. He wasn't the one we were here for. Still, I had a gut feeling that he would get in the way. Knowing Itachi, he wouldn't hesitate to beat his little brother. Afterwards he would feel bad for it. No. Guilt would appear the moment he laid a hand on Sasuke. Through his eyes it had to be done. I could not understand his point of view. It made no sense why Itachi was the way he was. Well, I didn't know the whole story.

Either way, we left immediately after Sasuke joined the conversation. We escaped without anyone noticing. Now making our way out of the village. The Jinchuuriki had left this place, so we had to go after him. On our left was, on our right a forest. "Kisame-san. I'm very disappointed." I said as I looked at him. The shark frowned, being confused by my feelings. "You didn't eat your dangos. It's so sad." My eyes went down to the ground. "But we didn't have time." He justified himself. I continued my dramatic act. "You could've given it to me. I would've eaten them in 10 seconds." I told him as I held both of my hands up. "Now they're gonna go to trash." I complained, pouting with my arms crossed. "I'll remember your skills in case this situation arises again." Kisame said as he ruffled my hair. He was making fun of me, but that didn't matter. I smiled, turning to Itachi. "You'll remember too, right?" I questioned, tilting my head and lightly bumping into the Uchiha, who seemed lost in his thoughts. He looked a bit lost as he cleared his throat. "There'll be no need for that. Time managment isn't my weakness." I made eye conntact with him. His words didn't leave me satasfied. "This is only the case for Dangos though. Therefore... Sure, I'll remember." He lied after sighing. I hugged Itachi's arm with a bright smile. "The two of you are amazing people." The Uchiha avoided my gaze, pulling his hat down. There was a light shade of pink on his cheeks. I giggled. Afterwards, letting go of his arm, so I stopped embarassing him- I looked at Kisame, he was smirking, also noticing the blush.

Kisame and I were the only ones talking. From the three of us we were the ones, who had conversations. Itachi barely ever participated. Except it was about the mission. Well, or when we were forcing him by overwhelming him with questions. Our nice little conversation came to a end. The two Ninjas from the teahouse appeared in front of us. We were polite enough to stop walking. "You guys aren't from the village. Why in the world did you come?" The man with the cigarette in his mouth asked. "I haven't seen you in a while Asuma-san Kurenai-san." Itachi said, not only surprising me. Well, the Uchiha originated in this village. "If you former us, are you former Leaf Shinobi?" One of them asked. 

The question was met with nothing but silence. Then you took in a sound. The little bell from Itachi's hat made said sound. He took his hat down, revealing his identity. The two in front of us looked a shocked. As if the devil himself stood in front of them. I had to admit, the Uchiha was attractive. The urge of saying it out loud appeared, but I kept myself under control. "Without a doubt Uchiha Itachi." Asuma discovered. Smart boy. Kisame introduced himself. I followed right after him. "This is a pain." I mumbled as I put my hat down, fixing my hair. "Uzumaki Y/n. Strongest Kunoichi you'll ever meet." I bowed down out of respect. Rai landed on my shoulder while I talked. The two Ninja's made eye contact as if they were trying to communicate with each other. My name sounded familiar to them. Me claiming to be a Uzumaki weirded them out even more.
