So I just watched Road to Ninja again and I was wondering... What would happen if 'Tachi had met Road to Ninja Playboy Sasuke?

Hmm...

Itachi scratched the top of his head lazily. Things had gotten slow since they had been hired by Konohagakure. Sure, they were to protect the village and play watchdog guardians for that pink-haired girl and the blonde brat that kept insisting his name was "Naruto" when everyone knew he was really "Menma". But it was incredibly...well, boring.

He got up from his perch on the top of Sandaime Hokage-sama's stone head. Maybe he would explore Konoha. He hadn't been allowed back since he was assigned his "kill-the-clan-and-infiltrate-Akatsuki" mission anyway. What harm could wandering around his own village do while he was hired to protect it?

He hopped down, shedding his cloak and exchanging his shirt for a much more civilian feel shirt. Transforming to look a little less like himself, should he alarm the villagers, he began to wander through the familiar streets.

He bought a few stick of dango to munch on as he weaved through the districts, watching children scream and play for a brief moment as he passed by the park.

Hm... not much has changed so far. That's kind of relieving.

Itachi walked casually through a busy district, filled with families, couples and several groups of friends just milling about.

I wonder if Sasuke hangs out with any of his friends like that. I should hope he does, unless he inherited Otou-san's stick-up-my-ass tendencies and has no friends because of it.

Finishing his dango, he moved to a trashcan and tossed away the garbage he had produced. Turning back around, Itachi spotted a pink head of hair.

Ah, the pinky.

Itachi moved to follow her, hoping she would bring something of interest his way. He trailed after her, blending in with the crowd easily. She stopped all of a sudden and Itachi followed her line of vision.

!?

Itachi could only gape in bewilderment like a fish from where he stood by the entrance alleyway. His flabbergasted expression could only scratch the surface of his shock.

His younger brother had developed into a flirt and a playboy in the 12 years he had been gone.

Perhaps he should have found some sort of life guidance for his brother before he had left Sasuke behind...

Itachi turned around and left, mood to explore spoiled. He felt a little dizzy upon realizing his adorable baby brother was now this thing that was probably very proficient at procreating.

He sighed and went back to his camp. He had a headache now. Finding out things about his brother that were very shocking wasn't good for his health. For now, he would sleep it off. He could process this later, when the shock wears off.

Well it's probably not very good for now, I'm just playing with the idea. It's a oneshot for fun kind of thing. [like a one night stand!] er... excuse my... uh... yeah.

ANYWHO. I hope you enjoyed, it's short. it's a thought. If I feel like it, I'll come back to it and explore it some more.

Thanks for reading!
