The three boys froze when they finally reached the edge of the woods. Itachi trembled. He knew his sight was getting bad but...this couldn't be true. In the clearing was Gai attempting to challenge Kakashi per usual. That wasn't the terrifying part. It was the figure next to him. A seemingly miniature exact copy of Gai stood next to him. He was blowing kisses at Sakura which the small pinkette narrowly avoided. She was screaming in anger and swinging her fist in protest.

"You again!?" Sasuke growled marching over to the Gai clone. This caused Gai 2 to pause in his youthful attack.

"Hello, Sasuke, Sasuke's brother and Naruto." Lee said with a thumbs up his teeth pinging.

"What are you doing to Sakura, Lee?" Naruto asked crossing his arms. Yes he liked Lee, but he didn't like it when he obliviously air kiss molested his female teammate. Sakura wasn't into him. Granted Naruto wasn't one to talk but still.

"I am proclaiming my love to her yet again!" He announced mini flames burning in his eyes.

Sasuke's eye twitched as Naruto made a face of annoyance. It was a comical sight. "Cause that worked out so well last time" Sasuke said his charcoal eyes rolling.

"You wish you could be me!" Lee announced.

"What? Wearing horrid, worse than Naruto's orange jumpsuit, spandex with a hairstyle that makes it look like i have a permanent bowl glued on my head? No thanks." Sasuke replied crossing his arms and glaring at the bush Neji and Tenten were in. He wondered if they were really hiding or if they were up to some other activities.

"Well at least it doesn't look like i have a Ducks butt on my head" Lee shot back. Itachi at that moment seriously looked at the back of his brothers head. He snorted but covered with a cough. It had indeed been an accurate insult.

"Lee, do not start this conversation again" Neji warned appearing from behind a bush where he and Tenten have been trying to retain their sanity and certainly were not making out according to Neji.

"B-but Neji!" Lee exclaimed.

"Lee, last time you and Sasuke had this argument he kicked your ass!" Tenten said gripping his collar and roughly shaking him.

"I still got in a few hits!" Lee argued.

"You still lost bushy brow" Naruto replied with a shrug.

Lee grumbled something but backed off from Sakura. The young pinkette finally breathed in relief. Itachi paled as he turned his head to a squabbling Gai and Kakashi. Oh god it was worse than when he was a child! Orange, green, and navy swirled through his head. Not good.

"My eternal Rival!" Gai exclaimed attempting to get Kakashi to stop reading. Kakashi however wasn't reading. He was thinking. If what Sasuke had told him was true then he could potentially lure Obito to come here. To come back to Konoha. He just had to joh the idiots memory... But with what? What could possibly get Obito riled up enough to come back? What woul piss him off more than Rin's death!? In that moment as Gai contiued to rant, rave, pull, push, and thoroughly annoy him Kakashi knew what the bait would be.

Kakashi snapped his book shut and gave Gai an annoyed look. "Yes, rival?" Kakashi questioned. Gai froze. Kakashi usually never said it back. Granted he missed the eternal part but it was close enough. With Kakashi it was the closest he would ever get and Gai knew this. Kakashi braced himself and prayed to Minato that this plan of his would work. A few seconds passed and a figure suddenly swirled into existance. Itachi was in front of the kids in a flash as Sasuke face palmed. Stupid overprotective older sibling.

"He's not who you think he is big brother" Sasuke said with an eye roll.

"Sasuke now is not the time-" Itachi argued before all the kids shh'd the two uchiha's wantin to listen in.
