'Is this the karma I get from eating that ramen?'
Kazumi slid her hand into her pouch, gripping the nearest kunai's handle.

"Kumo Kazumi-San, I suggest you step aside." The dark-haired male spoke, knowing her name, "Kisame, have patience."
Her brows furrowed, confused.
"Itachi-San, it's time we got started. We don't need them running around, I can deal with it." Kisame gripped the handle, his gaze intensifying.
Itachi?
Kazumi recalled not caring about the clans she knew of. But if there was one memory she engraved, it was the time she was forced to meet Sasuke years before the Uchiha clan's massacre. Of course she knew of Itachi. How could she forget such a humble man? Her confusion twisted to surprise.
If I recall as far back, he stopped Sasuke and I from ripping each other's throats out when we were little...
She almost deadpanned at the memory, shaking it off when the shark-man appeared back into her view.
"Well...?" Kisame trailed off, ready to brutally murder the two.
Before anything could occur, a person's steps made them all pause.
"Uchiha Itachi..." Sasuke's voice appeared, making them all turn to him.
"Good grief, today is a special day, don't you think? This is the second time I've seen another sharingan." Kisame commented.
"I will... kill you!" Sasuke had his sharingan flaring, his expression eerily cold.
Kazumi would've never thought she'd get stuck in the middle of a family feud. Although... it wasn't just any regular family feud, since the two Uchiha's looked about ready to kill each other. She tried to take a step back, but the shark-man strongly glared down at her.
"Fidget around once more, and I'll show you what it's like to breathe without lungs." He warned, menacing.
Not sure I'd like to know...
The girl glared back, catching herself on her heel. Naruto was in front of her, stunned out of his own mind. It didn't surprise Kazumi that Naruto was clueless about Sasuke's family history. Almost everyone in the village knew of the fact that Itachi, first born and ex-heir, had wiped out the entire clan.
Sasuke ignored Kisame, his senses heightened with furious red eyes. In that moment, Kazumi noticed the young Uchiha had two tomoes.
She frowned, glancing at a worried Naruto. He gave her a knowing glance, brows furrowed as if ready to attack - however, the older Uchiha suddenly spoke.
"Cool it." Was all he said, tone soft yet his face was emotionless.
The shark-man abided, clicking his tongue.
"That sharingan." He turned his head away from Kazumi and towards Sasuke, "You seem to be familiar with Itachi. Who is this guy?" He then widely smirked at Itachi.
