Susurrus [Itachi x OC]

1: The Rasengan and The Chidori

"THAT'S ENOUGH, SASUKE!" I yell as I throw myself at a black-haired boy, his Chidori-filled fist outstretched to strike a blonde-haired boy holding a Rasengan.

They're moving too fast! I'm not going to be able to make it in time! FUCK!

Seemingly out of nowhere, Kakashi appears between both boys, grabbing each by the wrist and flinging them backward. The Rasengan explodes with a loud, powerful boom, a cry of pain sounding from all of us.

Once the pain stops radiating through my head, I jump to my feet. "YOU BOTH ARE 14 NOW, SO GROW UP AND FUCKING ACT LIKE IT!"

Sakura chuckles weakly, dusting herself off as she stands up. "Tani, you know how they are! It's fine!"

My head whips towards her, my eyes narrowing in silent warning.

She lowers her head apologetically.

"What do you plan to do Kakashi?!" I snarl. "This fighting has GOT. TO. STOP!"

The silver-haired Jonin sits against the wall, a stressed hand pinching the bridge of his nose. "Why don't you take them for a bit, Akatani? I'll have Sakura come with me to report this to Lady Tsunade as a witness."

"Does that mean I can exhaust them until they can't move?" I chuckle.

"As long as they'll be good for tomorrow's training session with me, sure." He waves his hand nonchalantly in my direction. "Do as you see fit, Akatani."

I smirk evilly and stare at the boys. "GET YOUR ASSES UP AND COME WITH ME!"

"But—but—but! Awww, c'mon Tani! Why do you have to be like that?!"

"Naruto, knock it off!" Sasuke lunges at and punches the blonde-haired boy. "Just listen to what she says, for heaven's sake!"

The fox-boy pouts, his lip jutting out from his face and his arms crossing his chest like a petulant child.

"Fine."

I nod in satisfaction. "Good."

After a long and arduous walk to the training field, I let out a deep sigh of relief once I cross the threshold, throwing myself down and against the first tree I see.

"What're we doing here, Akatani?" Sasuke inquires.

Ever the formality. He's worse than Tabi. "Today we're gonna talk this shit out." My tone brooks no argument. "Both of you sit down in front of me, and we'll discuss this because this bullshit between the two of you?" I wag my finger between the two of them. "Yeah, it can't go on anymore."

The teenage boys sit down in front of me, neither one looking at the other.

For fuck's sake, this is gonna be more difficult than I thought...

"Sasuke, look at me."

His dark eyes annoyedly stare at me. Anyone not used to the piercing gaze of the Uchiha might be intimidated by his sharp, unflinching gaze.

But not me.

"I know you're feeling like Naruto is surpassing you in terms of power."

His eyes widen in surprise. "How—?"

"It might as well be written on your face." I laugh. "And Naruto, you feel like Sasuke's faster than you in a fight, correct?"

"Humph!"

I smirk. "How would the two of you like to take on me?"

Naruto's face brightens immediately. "REALLY?!"
