Thanks for all of your reviews submitted to the 7th chappie! But now..I'm back with the 8th chappie of "The Real Itachi"! Do enjoy!

A bright morning light shines through the window of Itachi's room

Itachi vigorously snores in bed..

Meanwhile, near the Akatsuki HQ…we see Kiba and his bestfriend, Akamaru, taking a morning stroll near an area full of trees - -

"Isn't it fun to take morning strolls ne, Akamaru?" asked Kiba, walking casually with his hands buried in the side pockets of his jacket

Akamaru barks in agreement

"Good boy! Now I wonder where I can find a suitable place for you to practice your 'Dynamic Air Marking' technique..?" said Kiba, scanning the are for unmarked trees - -

Akamaru suddenly growls

"Grrr…!" growled Akamaru, as he began running towards the direction where the Akatsuki HQ is located

"D-damn it! Akamaru's running towards the Akatsuki base!" said Kiba, running after Akamaru - -

After what seemed like minutes, Akamaru stops in front of a widely open window

Akamaru sniffs around the area, and starts to growl again

Kiba has now managed to catch up with Akamaru - -

"A-Akamaru!" scolded Kiba. "..If I didn't know you were up to something, we'd be killed by these Akatsuki slimeballs!"

Akamaru intentionally ignored Kiba and continued barking like mad - -

At Kisame's room

"Damned dog! HOW CAN I SLEEP IN PEACE WITH ALL THAT RACKET OUTSIDE!" shouted Kisame, eyes bloodshot and wide

:HAHA, poor Kisame-san! Doesn't he know it's already morning! XD:

At Deidara's room

"My poor, precious ears! I can't stand it!" shouted Deidara, covering tons of pillows over his head. "If my guess is correct, then it must be that Inuzuka boy's dog!" - -

At Itachi's room

Itachi still manages to sleep like a log with all that barking and growling going on XD

:EEEEEP! I think Itachi's suffering from a major hang over:

Outside the window of Itachi's room

"AKAMARU!" shouted Kiba, picking up Akamaru, only making the puppy bite him. "Ouch! Akamaru, WHY are you doing this to ME!"

Akamaru suddenly jumps inside the window, landing softly on the table

:Remember the table with Itachi's Akatsuki ring on top of it? Maybe this'll give you a hint on what's going to happen next! XD:

Akamaru eyes the Akatsuki ring on the table, sniffs it, then runs off with it in his mouth

"Akamaru! Come here, you!" said Kiba, letting Akamaru jump on top of his head. "We have to scram before they come running after us! How many times did I tell you not to meddle near, or INSIDE the Akatsuki base without reinforcements?"

Akamaru whimpers in disappointment - -

Kiba and Akamaru runs away from the Akatsuki HQ - -

At the Akatsuki dining room

"Dang that annoying dog!" said Kisame, a vein popping in his forehead. "I'll teach him not to awaken the S-ranked Missing Nin: HOSHIGAKI KISAME!

Kisame does the 'nice-guy' pose

Deidara rolls his eyes in uninterest

"Pull yourself together, Kisame-san! It's ONLY A DOG." Said Deidara. "I'll admit that I was awakened too…BUT DON'T TAKE IT THAT SERIOUSLY!"

Kisame grunts - -

Itachi suddenly enters the dining room, wearing those hot, black shades 3

"Itachi-CHAN!" said Deidara, becoming chibified. "Still feeling all tortured and annoyed?"

"You can say that a billion times over, Deidara." Said Itachi, preparing himself a bowl of Konoha Crunch Cereals - -

:It seems that I've made KCC Itachi's fave food in my fic XD:

"Our plan is working well, Deidara!" said Kisame, whispering in Deidara's ear. "Itachi-san hasn't worn his Akatsuki ring yet!"

A big, wide smile slowly appears on Deidara's face

Itachi starts reading the Daily Konoha Newspaper - -

"Hmmm, the sports center is a real hoot." Said Itachi, flipping the pages to the CAR ADVERTISEMENTS SECTION. "Oh…cars"

Itachi eats a spoonful of cereals, and chews it with finesse

"Next page.." said Itachi, flipping the pages until the very last one. - -

Itachi's eyes turn pale blue..indicating that he's 'bored'

"I'm bored..i'll go outside and do my training." Said Itachi, standing up and leaving the dining room

:Gawd, as if he needed training! I wonder what it's for? And he didn't even finish his bowl of KCC:

"That's our cue, Deidara! TO ITACHI-SAN'S ROOM!" shouted Kisame, running upstairs, to Itachi's room

"Right on, Kisame-san!" said Deidara, as he followed Kisame to Itachi's room - -

At Itachi's room

"Now, to gather all these PRICELESS info from the ri- -…..F!" shouted Kisame, starting to go insane as he saw that the ring wasn't on the table. "DEIDARA, FIND THE RING!"

"GACK, KISAME-SAN! WHAT DID YOU DO WITH IT!" shouted Deidara, face turning all priceless again

"I could've sworn that Itachi-san didn't wear his ring when he entered the dining room!" said Kisame, pacing back and forth around the room

"Yeah…but don't you think that the noisy dog stole and ran off with Itachi-CHAN's ring?" said Deidara, sitting on top of the table. "I mean it's so weird to suddenly wake up in the morning, hearing a dog growl outside the Akatsuki HQ! And you know very well that the leader doesn't allow pets in or outside the HQ!"

"You have a point there! And not only does our Akatsuki rings have a certain kanji and color engraved on the stone…it's also blessed with a strong scent that could attract any typ of animal!" said Kisame, a lightbulb suddenly appearing on top of his head

"STUPID! That's not it, Kisame-san!" said Deidara, throwing a lump of clay at Kisame's face. "That dog MUST KNOW about those Kikaichu bugs hidden under the ring's stone!"

"What? Your idea's ABSURD, Deidara!" objected Kisame. "If we're THAT desperate to get the ring back, I suggest we look for it NOW!"


Whoa…I wonder where those two will look first? Hehe. The Akatsuki ring with the scented stuffie was just made up by me XD Read and review, please!
