Afterlife Bets

"Go Naruto! YOU CAN DO IT!"
There were, the blond man reflected, certain benefits of being dead and blissfully invisible to the known world. They were almost enough to make up for the bitter disadvantages and he prodded his surly afterlife-partner in the ribs in an effort to help enlightened him on this fact.
"You can yell too, you know. No need to keep up your reputation with me."
His grin received a pointedly blank stare in return. Shrugging, the blond joined his dark-haired friend in watching the two boys scuffle on the ground literally a few inches from their non-existent feet. He politely stepped back when one trashing hand went through both their legs, but his companion ignored the queasy feeling the motion would have evoked and continued to observe the friendly fight impassively.
Pride certainly runs in his family, he thought ruefully, noting his friend's wince as another limb passed through his leg. But not that he should speak.
"So… I'm betting on my brother again. How 'bout you?"
The non-too-subtle reminder of the last fight's outcome was not lost on the other. Itachi held back a scowl, ignored the past Hokage's wicked grin, and silently roared for Sasuke to kick some ass.

Been a while since I've sat down and written anything; mostly because I've been very busy of late. That, and I've lost a certain zang for Naruto. But then again, what else is new?
Many thanks for feedback, folks! Much appreciated. XD
