Chapter Six

The New Addition

"I knew you'd be up here", Itachi Uchiha smiled, matured Sharingan activated, walked up behind his friend.

Naruto lay on the grass above the Hokage monument. He had his hands behind his back as the warm wind blew through his blonde hair. This was his favourite spot in the entire village. A place of solace. A place of peace. A place to reflect.

Naruto now sported a tanto strapped to his shoulder.

"Really, what gave my location away?" asked Naruto as Itachi sat down next to him.

"Because, I know your chakra. My Sharingan can detect it in an instant", said Itachi his Sharingan receded.

"Well either my chakra is really memorable, or you're a creep", said Naruto with a smile.

Itachi chuckled.

"Maybe you're right, it's probably the latter", they both broke out in laughter.

"Hey you want to see something new I figured out?" asked Naruto.

Itachi nodded curiously.

Naruto sat up and faced his friend.

"Kaa-chan told me that you have to be really creative to fight with Fuinjutsu. So I got creative see", he pulled up his long sleeves to reveal two seals on each arm. On each wrist there was a band and over the top was the kanji for 'seal'.

"What good will those do, by the looks of things they're just storage seals. I remember you showing me them a few months after we became friends", said Itachi with a confused expression.

"Well despite the fact that, shinobi always carry ninja tools. They always have to reach in for pockets and compartments that aren't functional and sometimes cause them to lose precious time in battle. But with these seals, I can summon ninja tools that I've stored away in them in seconds", explained Naruto.

"Oh, I get it", said Itachi. "That's pretty cool actually, but why would you need to wear them now? I mean we still have to finish the academy", Naruto chuckled.

"Before you say anything, I am well aware that we are well ahead of those in our year", said Itachi. "Meaning that we probably won't be at the academy very longer", Itachi sighed.

"Well you're forgetting Yugao, she's really scary sometimes, she'll give us a run for are money if we don't keep training", said Naruto.

"Yeah, she's strong", said Itachi with a nod. "We probably don't want to wait around here anymore. I also came by because I know you've developed a habit of being late. So I'd thought that I'd save you the trouble of any other lecture from Aoba-sensei", said Itachi with a laugh.

"Yeah", Naruto held his fist out with a smile. Itachi smiled back and fist bumped with Naruto.

They both looked out over ledge. A single leaf blew out in front of them the leaf danced in the wind, it slowly made its way to the grass below. Once the tip of the leaf touched the ground both boys broke the fist bump sprung to their feet. They both ran and jumped off the top of the Hokage monument. The leaf behind them kicked up again into the wind.
