Itachi's promise: Chapter Eleven
"Clones?" Asked Raiden confused.
"Yes, how many can you create?" Itachi asked.
"Ten possible more," Raiden answered, Itachi reached back into his pouch and pulled eleven kunai.
"Don't go out with clones, go behind him and when the clones attack from in front, attack from behind and get him down," Itachi told Raiden.
"What about Tadao?" Raiden asked.
"We need to fill him in," Itachi answered, being to scribble the plan on a small piece of paper and then hand it to Tadao.
"Give this to Tadao and I will go buy you two sometime," Itachi told Raiden.
Leaving Raiden to go find Tadao, Itachi could finally put his plan in motion.
"Sensei, what is the point in this?" Itachi asked from above Sensei on a branch.
Sensei Tsuneo reached up to grab Itachi's foot when he jumped and landed on another branch, running as fast as he could to make sure he wasn't caught. Reaching the small clearing Itachi jumped down from the trees and disappeared in a cloud of smoke. In the clearing stood ten Itachi's spread out among the clear space, Itachi hiding safety up in the trees above his Sensei.
"Doesn't matter how many clones you make I can take each and every one out," Sensei Tsuneo told the clones.
Jumping down quietly from the tree Itachi landed on a branch and Sensei Tsuneo turned round, Itachi pulled a kunai from his pouch and held it before him in a defensive position. Then his Sensei's face scrunched up in pain and he fell to his knees holding his shoulder, Itachi smirked rather similar to Kisame's and then held the kunai to his Sensei's throat before counting to three. Pulling the kunai away from his Sensei Itachi helped the man to his feet and bowed his head slightly.
"Well done, now where are my two other students," Sensei asked, it was then they came running out of nowhere with paper bombs and kunai in hands and threw them towards Sensei Tsuneo.
Itachi ducked as Sensei Tsuneo preformed a substitution jutsu, Sensei appeared behind the two boys and knocked them both off their feet and on to the ground.
"Why did you do that Sensei?" Tadao asked.
"Because, you two aren't being welcoming, Itachi is younger and it isn't his fault, he is a replacement for Umeki. So Tadao and Raiden get over it, Itachi will be on your team until you either quit being a ninja, become chuunin or die," Sensei Tsuneo told the two boys.
"Sensei, I didn't work as a team either," Itachi said, Raiden and Tadao looked up at him like he was an idiot and Sensei Tsuneo smiled.
"You are new and they weren't making it easily for you to work with them," Sensei Tsuneo told Itachi, turning his attention back to the two genin still on the floor.
After a moment of Silence, Sensei Tsuneo spoke
"Itachi, you may go home I have a lesson to teach you these two," Sensei Tsuneo said.
"No, I will learn the lesson along with them," Itachi replied, Sensei Tsuneo smiled and held out his hands for Raiden and Takao.
"All of you, go home, be back here tomorrow," Sensei Tsuneo told the three boys.
Itachi waved goodbye to his new team and was off, he was flying through the trees towards Kisame's and his usual training spot. Reaching the training grounds he realized he didn't exactly have a teacher, he set his back down against a tree and looked around the cleaning to check if anyone was watching.
"Attack, Itachi," Sasori's voice said across the clearing.
Itachi turned with a kunai in hand and ran towards Sasori, Sasori preformed three hand signs and a puppet appeared in front of him. Itachi jumped to the side, when the puppet took a swing at Itachi, Itachi blocked with his kunai and was pushed back. This was going to be a fun training session; Itachi caught the blade in combat again and knocked it from the puppets hands. Mean While Sasori had seated himself against a tree behind the puppet, controlling his puppet but not being too hard on the kid.
"Sasori, who is your partner?" Itachi asked suddenly, stopping the battle he was having with Sasori's puppet and snapping Sasori out of his thoughts.
"What?" Sasori asked, not hearing what Itachi had said.
"Who is your partner?" Itachi asked again.
"My snake of a partner is Orochimaru," Sasori answered, Itachi walked past the puppet and sat down in front of Sasori.
"Do you get along with him?" Itachi asked.
"No, he and I have many issues. Yeah, we can work together but we hate each other," Sasori answered.
Itachi stopped his questions and thought back to Kisame, Kisame was going to be his partner.
"Why so many questions about Orochimaru?" Sasori asked.
"He wants an Uchiha body, I just wanted to know why," Itachi answered, Sasori sighed and thought for a second.
"He changes bodies every few years, he tried different bodies trying to figure out which one will last the longest and he believes that Uchihas may last longer and because of their sharingan he would be very powerful," Sasori answered.
"Orochimaru, is after my little brother…If you wanted to stop him from controlling your body how would you do it?" Itachi asked, staring at Sasori as he thought.
"You would put a high level genjutsu over yourself and before he took over you would dispel it," Sasori answered.
"Thank you," Itachi replied, Sasori reached out and resting is hand on Itachi's shoulder.
"Itachi, you and Kisame must be really good friends," Sasori said, Itachi nodded.
