A/N: In which Itachi assumes the worst.
Theme 25. Trouble Lurking
Whoever mentioned the calm before the storm probably had never been graced with the Uchiha's presence before.
Most likely weren't aware just how true those words actually were; Itachi mused darkly as he attempted to rid the blood off of his ANBU uniform. Everything had gone smoothly during his mission, hardly any harm done. But it was the moment he thought he was safely in the clutches of his hometown, when he dropped his guard that he was ambushed by Orochimaru's men. He figured from that encounter, trouble wasn't too far behind, lurking in the shadows.
