Ryuu glanced back again, seeing Itachi walking down the road with Sasuke. Ryuu may not be Itachi's brother but he did consider Itachi to his brother. Ryuu's own older brother, Shisui, was waiting for Ryuu in the clearing they usually trained in. 

Technically speaking, Ryuu shouldn't know how to do much of anything since he wasn't old enough to join the academy but he had convinced his brother to train him. Ryuu was now proficient with kunai both as ranged or melee weapons, was excellent at Sealing Jutsus, and had bee watching his brother perform offensive jutsus for so long he had memorized how to do several, even if he knew better than to try it himself. 

He had made himself a trench knife styled after Asuma Sarutobi's and always kept it with him so that he would be ready for his brother challenging him to random sparring sessions.

Shisui, being older and much better than Ryuu, never really tried during their sparring sessions, only enough to challenge Ryuu. Because of that, Ryuu had excelled at learning to fight and would be one of the top of his class when he entered the academy in a month. Ryuu had yet to awaken his Sharingan but that was fine with him given the usual circumstances surrounding gaining a Sharingan.

"You're late," Shisui stated as Ryuu stepped into the field, already holding his trench knife and a kunai in reverse grip. "You were at your mother's grave weren't you?"

"Yes," Ryuu nodded.

Ryuu was only Shisui's half brother. Shisui's father had cheated on Shisui's mother with a Hyuga resulting in Ryuu. When the Hyuga clan had found out, they had sealed Ryuu's mother's Byakugan. She had later died giving birth to him and they had decided not to place the seal on his since he had black eyes, not Byakugan. 

He was taken in by his and Shisui's father as per his mother's last request, and the family had accepted him. Not many people new the truth about who his parents were but that was fine. Shisui still had some negative emotions regarding Ryuu's conception but he never blamed Ryuu. He loved Ryuu as his brother and would give anything to protect him.

"Shall we begin?" Shisui questioned drawing his tanto.

Ryuu nodded and charged forward, leaping into the air and slashing at Shisui's head but Shisui blocked it then caught his other arm and spun, throwing him. Ryuu landed on his feet and charged again, beginning to attack Shisui as fast as he could but with no effect. After a few minutes he jumped back and grinned. he wanted to show off. He loved to show off. With that in mind, he made several hand seals, making Shisui panic.

"Ryuu don't even-"

"Fire Style, Fireball Jutsu!" Ryuu shouted exhaling a ball of fire the size of a pebble which went out instantly making Shisui blink in surprise. "Aaww."

Shisui laughed at Ryuu's reaction and put his tanto away walking over and kneeling.

"Ryuu," Shisui spoke voice stern but caring.

"I know," Ryuu sighed. "No jutsus until I'm in the academy."

"Good boy," Shisui smiled as Sasuke and Itachi entered the clearing.

Ryuu and Sasuke were best friends and rivals, since their older brothers were best friends and trained them. Neither ever really competed for anything but attention but they both knew the other's strengths and weaknesses.
