!!WARNING!!

I'm Italian, I don't speak English well. I'm just translating my FF to broaden my audience. Thank you for understanding.

...

With the death of the third hokage, surely the elders will take matters into their own hands until they find another hokage.

Well, it's time to visit the Hidden Leaf Village, the elders must not dare to lay a finger on my brother, not while I'm still alive. Kisame and I wear a hat to not be noticed, even tough security in this village is so low that it will be some time before they are aware of our presence. Unless we meet Kakashi, nothing escapes him and If I were to accidentally meet his gaze it would be a big a problem.

"The village that was once at the height of its glory", we stop on the wooden bridge to observe the village, "how sad."

Kisame turns to look at me, "how unlike you. You have lingering affections for your old home?"

I look up at the sky, ringing the bells hanging from my hat, before taking the steps towards the village with my companion.

"So this was the cafe you liked to frequent?"

This man talks too much, I nod without adding any more words. I used to love this place, I'm surprised it's still open after all this time.

I hear footsteps outside and then a very familiar smell, until that person speaks up, making my eyes widen.

"Kakashi, what are you doing here?"

"While I'm here to buy offerings, I've made plans to meet here with Sasuke." Kakashi replies to the stranger, naming my brother. His words make me jump, he knows I'm here.

"Is the offering to Obito?"

"Obito?" A female voice, a woman.

"Well... that's about right." Kisame puts the cup of tea on the table, next to the dango I haven't been able to eat yet.

"Kakashi."

Sasuke? I try to look outside to see how much my brother has grown, and he's exactly as I remembered. Before leaving, we wait for the two characters outside to leave. Except that on the street we meet two familiar figures with a not exactly happy look on their face.

I lift my hat slightly to show my eyes, which they will surely recognize.

"Huh?!" They gasp, looking at me in surprise, apparently I became famous in the village. The man stammers in fear, "y-you are?"

I take off my hat, letting the wind blow my hair and with one hand I unbutton the jacket, leaving it half closed to rest I hand on top, "Humph, without a doubt..."

The man with a cigarette between his lips keeps looking at me, I have to get ready to attack.

"Uchiha Itachi."

Kisame giggles, starting to talk, "I'll introduce myself as well."

He takes off his hat too, showing his face, "I'm Kisame Hoshigaki. Hereafter, I hope to be familiar with you."

"Asuma-san... Kurenai-san... don't interfere with me."

"I don't intend to kill you." I look at them, showing the three tomoe of my sharingan. The sharingan with three tomoe improves reflexes giving the possibility to see all the opponent's movements, analyze them, anticipate them and take note of the following movement. I must not use it too much, otherwise I risk my ill taking over.

Kisame grabs the sword and slams it on the ground, causing a cloud of dust. "This guy is pretty annoying. Should we kill him?"

The first gesture of attack leaves a hole in the ground, I have to be careful trying to fight without hurting them but at the same time I don't have to get caught by Kisame. My only workable choice is not to hold back too much, but also not to use the sharingan too much.
