"To which section?" The two brothers asked. Yagami, trying to fake an emotional speech shocked them when he revealed he was to become an ANBU Jounin. Both Itachi and Sasuke cheered with excitement before heading back to class. Kakashi caught up with his partner to hear the news.

"Well that's great! Not many people become Jounins at this age, you should be honored that you are going to train ANBUs, the strongest lot of shinobis in Konoha." Kakashi told him. Proceeding to the training area, Yagami looked upon the many skilled ANBUs before getting their attention. All gave him the utmost respect as they knew he was specially chosen by the 3rd Hokage. After a long day of mentoring, the brothers finally earned the break that they deserved as they proceeded home. Yagami dropped by the shop to repay the money he owed earlier. Back at their house, their father was pleased to hear all their accomplishments and told them to have an early rest after their dinner. During the wee hours of the night, Yagami went to look up on his father and found him meditating by the pond. Not wanting to cause any disturbance, Yagami quietly sat down before hearing a voice, "You wanted to see me?"

"Yes, it's about Itachi I'm concerned."

"Oh really? What about him?" Yagami began to explain, "I'm happy that he has become a Chuunin, but at the age of 8? Don't you think he's on the hunger for greater power? Two years ago he became a Genin and now a Chuunin! Who knows maybe he might surpass even the Hokage!" Calming him down, Fugaku answered back, "Son, you should be proud that your brother is achieving great accomplishments at such a young age. You also had your part of success when you mastered the Makekyo Sharingan when you were 6, and now you're an ANBU Jounin. Many people out there wish they were in your position. So cherish your accomplishments."
