Itachi was running. Sweat was draining down his face. He was running away from a group of Sand Village shinobis. His mission was to infiltrate Hidden Sand and obtain a scroll containing details of the Hidden Sands secret weapon the One-Tailed Beast , Shukkaku. The mission went pretty smoothly except for the fact that they were discovered.
"Hey bro. How are doing? No prob ? " Itachi asked Shisui. And Shisui nodded acknowledging the fact that he was ok.
Suddenly 3 kunais with explosive tags hit a tree 3 feat ahead of them and they stopped dead on their tracks.
As they exploded Itachi shouted "Duck" just in time for Shisui to dodge a kunai that would have drilled a hole through his brain.
Both of them were centered and they were back to back now, Sharingans flaring. They knew that this was their doom since Itachi was depleted of chakra and Shisui was almost empty. The Sand ninjas were smiling now knowing the fact that they have got them. Those scornful smiles made Itachi wanna smash their skulls. But he knew he couldn't and knowing it hurt.
" My, My, My. Look who we have here. Two young Uchiha's" said the one who looked to be their leader. " We don't have time to waste on weaklings like you. Lets get it over with "
And he charged. He threw 3 shurikans at Itachi and Itachi managed to dodge 2 of them but the third managed to graze his neck. Shisui was fighting hard too. Soon the fight was gonna be over.
Then Itachi's red eyes met Shisui's and they both smiled. This distracted the Sand shinobi. Itachi and Shisui knew what had to be done. They mustered all the energy he could and they EXPLODED.
Everything was engulfed into flames and the blast had made a scary mark in the middle of the jungle. Far away from the explosion Itachi was chuckling. Even Shisui enjoyed their victory.
" We got them pretty good hah ? " Asked Shisui.
"Ya we did, Bro. Ya we did. " Itachi said cheerfully.
They had done their mission successfully and Itachi was gonna go home now. He was proud of his friend. Proud of his village. Proud of Shisui, His best friend.
Back at the explosion site the medical team had arrived and were checking for survivors. 13 Dead and only one survivor. It was the leader. He was unconscious but alive. He was shocked. Even when he was taken home he kept on babbling about Shadow Clones that bleed and Explode. And also about the two young Uchihas who were Legends in the making.
