Itachi was finally home. He was greeted by his parents and his brother. They both adored Itachi. As for his brother, he wanted Sasuke to be strong; he wanted Sasuke to carry out the Will of Fire. He went into his room and sat on his bed. He was tired after using a lot of chakra for the last mission he went. He was hungry. A lot.

He thought how Shisui was doing now. Probably asleep in his cozy bed. He may be all that powerful with his Kotoamatsukami but Itachi knew that he was the laziest Uchiha ever. Shisui was three years Itachi's senior but he was Itachi's best mate. They were considered the most powerful Uchihas of this generation. They were both kept under the watchful eyes of Konoha Military Police. As for Shisui, even their so called leader Madara had wanted Shisui's eyes for himself.

Itachi never liked to show off but most people thought that he was a big Show-Off. Itachi had already achieved Mangekyou Sharingan and only Shisui knew about this. Itachi hated fighting. All he ever wanted was peace. Shisui had the same idea and they were a well matched pair.

His thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the arrival of Sasuke.

"Big brother, there is gonna be a fighting tournament in the village to choose the best shinobi. Will you participate? Will you? Hah?" Shouted Sasuke.

A fighting tournament hah. Not bad but not so good too. People may think that he was here to show off. But he didn't want to disappoint Sasuke. And if that brat Kakashi was gonna be there, he was sure going to participate.

"So is Kakashi going to be there too? " Itachi asked.

"Of course big brother. So will you participate?" Sasuke asked with delight.

"Well it doesn't hurt to take a shot eh? So when is it?" Asked Itachi.

"Tomorrow big brother. I will love to see you fight. Win it for me will you?" said Sasuke and left without another word leaving Itachi alone in his room.

Now again Itachi was drifting in his thoughts. Does Shisui know of this? Would he participate? It would be good to fight him again after such a long time. "Well I better get some sleep" thought Itachi "Since tomorrow is a big day". Soon he was snoring loudly.
