A/N: This is a bit of a sub-plot to the story. Also remember, Itachi doesn't know that Tobi is not Madara. But he will soon.

Uchiha Itachi was surprised. Zetsu had appeared in his room early that morning, and handed him a note. He had spent several hours after that trying to figure out exactly what his little brother was trying to tell him in it.

Itachi,

I'll have you know, I still hate you with a passion. But I need some advice. A lot of advice. Now, what would you do if you were walking home from late night training, and saw one of your most powerful ancestors completely and utterly drunk? Well, it happened to me. I was walking home and I saw an extremely drunk Madara Uchiha. I have to stop writing here, as I need to get to the academy. Send me a letter back. Your former home address.

Still hating your guts,

Uchiha Sasuke.

Really, Itachi was confused. For one thing, what good did Tobi have to reveal himself to Sasuke? And what would he be doing in a bar in Konoha? But enough of that right now. Itachi had a letter to write and advice to give. All he had to do now was fine a piece of paper and a pen.
