—START—

"You should find a medic nin before you can't use your Sharingan or whichever stage you have at all. Or maybe replace your eyes. You could kill Obito or just steal his eye but it's not his fault for anything he does, he's being controlled by Madara. I think. I haven't actually watched the whole series but I know some parts in the original and Boruto. Kill Madara, maybe get his eyes and you got a whole new pair of eyes. But can't you just get a new pair of eyes and they'll turn into the Sharingan because you have Uchiha blood? Unless I'm wrong and that's not how the surgery thing or the Uchiha clan genetics works." Kusoka ranted on as they continued on to walk towards Amegakure. They were almost there, in a few hours they would reach the border between Ame and Kusagakure, the Hidden Grass Village.

Itachi listened to the girl but listen is the only thing he did. He didn't consider the things the girl said, though the way she ranted on and made up theories was cute. Itachi blinked, 'Cute?'

"Oi. Body-snatcher" Kurama spoke.

'What?'

"If you wanna keep the Uchiha alive you should learn some kind of healing jutsu. There's the Chiyute No Jutsu: Karui (Healing Hands Technique: Minor) you could learn or something"

'How do I do that?'

"Focus your chakra to your hands till it turns green or something"

Kusoka did so and—voilà! After a little while of trying the chakra on her hand turned a transparent, pale green. Itachi watched her as she stared down at her hand and performed Kurama's suggestion.

"If you know healing Jutsu then you can heal me yourself"

"...Huh?"

"Are you deaf—"

"I know what he said!" Kusoka unconsciously said aloud. Itachi looked down at her quizzically.

"I was just talking to Kurama"

"Heh, that's right. I am the Ky--gah!" Kusoka tried to imagine a bucket of water being poured over the fox's head and smirked when she heard the cry.

"You can talk to the fox"

"Yes, he's an annoying fuck, too"

"Well FUCK you too, body-snatcher"

A smile played on the red head's lips as a small giggle escaped her mouth. Itachi felt a feeling. Of course he felt a feeling. Everyone felt feelings...

But Itachi hadn't felt this type of feeling before.

Itachi shook his head and watched the girl trying to mold her chakra into something else. Chain links formed slowly one by one in her hand.

"You are an Uzumaki, I see," Itachi said.

"Well yeah, I'm still my mother's daughter" Kusoka gave a smile that she didn't know looked like Minato's.

"You look like her," Itachi said.

"Oh, no, I dyed my hair but I looked like my father before," Kusoka said. She was adept to lying in her previous life as well.

"You act a bit like her"

"You knew her?"

"It was hard not to, though I was young I still remember the eccentric red-haired woman who screamed 'dattebane' around the village" Itachi spoke a bit reminiscently.

"Haha, yeah" Kusoka giggled.

A few hours passed and along the way Kusoka learned some simple moves with her chakra. Chakra scalpel, self-healing (Just in case Kurama wanted to be an ass, to which he responded "FUck you, fucking body snatcher") were two of the things Kurama taught her.

The duo reached the Hidden Grass Village, they didn't stop but went around the village instead so they could avoid any of the ninjas there.

Kusoka and Itachi had finally made it to a small village near the Hidden Rain Village. Itachi put a henge on and acted as Kusoka's older brother with dark red hair and blue eyes. They joined the village as Kusoka and Reiki Nakimushi.

The "siblings" got a room in an inn. They planned on staying here for a while, perhaps until other ninja got word of Itachi's presence.

Itachi was quickly realized, which certainly didn't help to slow the word of Itachi being in the village. The villagers didn't care, in fact, they welcomed the man to their village, as they thought he would be an asset to them. They actually liked the man, despite him killing his "entire" clan he was a logical and rather kind man.

"Won't word spread about you being here?" Kusoka bit her lip.

"I suppose" Kusoka deadpanned at Itachi's response.

"That's not an answer" Kusoka huffed.

"Yes, word will spread but not very quickly, since the people like me I don't think they'll talk. Do you often talk about your friends outside of when you see them?" Itachi's dark eyes met Kusoka's bright blue and she shook her head.

"I guess you're right" Kusoka sighed.

Kusoka and Itachi were out buying some food. Kusoka never got to try dango when she was in her previous life so she was excited when she found a pastry shop that sold dango.

Kusoka bit into the sweet, pink hanami dango and made a really...lewd...sound that Itachi blushed at, though it wasn't noticeable.

"Wow~ I've never had dango but this is really good" Kusoka practically inhaled the rest of the dango.

"Anko loved dango" Itachi's sentences were always short and he seemed out of character when he spoke in long sentences.

"Ah. The crazy...snake lady?" Kusoka tilted her head in thought.

"Yes. She is a tokubetsu Jonin previously under Orochimaru's tutelage"

"She has the Cursed Seal of Heaven, right?" Itachi nodded, "I've never met her but if I stayed in Konoha I would have. I believe she's the proctor of the second stage of the Chunin exams this year"

"How do you know? And do not answer with 'magic' this time" the corner of Itachi's lips curled up.

"Ahaha," Kusoka tried to extend the time she had to answer.

"So?"

Kusoka bit her lip and shifted her eyes to the side. They were almost back at the inn, though that wouldn't help the situation Kusoka was in.

"Ma—"

"Wrong answer" Itachi gently glared at her.

"...can I tell you later?" Kusoka almost whispered.

"You can tell me soon"

"Thanks"
