Chapter 25: Journey into the city part II

The next morning, Phire had gotten up very early and had gone to a nearby waterfall and just sat under it, enduring the chilly molecules of the water. Itachi and Hiroshi had gotten up around 7 in the morning and as Hiroshi stayed home, Itachi looked for Phire. When he found her, he threw 3 kunais at her, but when they were just a millimeter away, they stopped, and black chakra surrounded it.

'Working on telekinesis, huh?' he thought.

'Yea,' she replied to him. He just blinked.

'Okay, I'm guessing telepathy too,' he muttered to himself.

'Not exactly, but whatever,' she said. He turned around, and Phire was right in front of him.

'Itachi, did you ask yet?' she asked him. He shook his head.

'Anyways, don't forget that we have a mission,' he told her. She nodded. She walked right past him, saying nothing, and he didn't react either.

When they reached, Hiroshi had made breakfast, with the help of moon chakra.

'Phire-sama,' he muttered, 'I made udon.' She nodded. Itachi sat next to her as they all ate in silence.

'Hiroshi, we need to talk,' Phire told Hiroshi after a while. He raised both of his eyebrows as he had spaced out before.

'Hm?' he asked.

'Do you know what boarding school is?' she asked him. He shrugged, but then remembered that he had a cousin who went to one.

'Yea, it's like a place where you live, but you learn, right? My cousin used to go there,' he answered. 'Why?'

'Does it intrigue you whatsoever?' she asked. He nodded.

'Oh, I'd love to go to one, but my parents never let me, and I used to just hang out with Akina and the others, so yea, it seems interesting,' he answered.

'Okay, that's settled then,' Itachi thought.

'Well, I know a very good one, but it is a human school,' Phire told him.

'Oh, then forget it,' he muttered, 'my cousin went to a ninja one.' Phire sighed.

'Oh jeez,' Itachi thought.

'Where was that one?' Phire asked.

'It was somewhere in the Hidden village of cloud, I believe; it was really far,' Hiroshi answered.

'Do you want to go there?' she asked. He looked surprised.

'Would you really send me there? I'd be honored!' he exclaimed. 'But are you sure it is okay for me to leave? I mean; I like staying with you. Do I have to go?' he asked.

'Just wondering, I mean, if we would send you, we'd first train you for survival and new moves,' Phire explained. He smiled.

'Then let's start training!' he exclaimed. Itachi paled; just what he needed, more training?

'Maybe if I sneak out quietly, she'll train him, and won't see me,' Itachi thought, but he took one step and Phire grabbed his wrist.

'Itachi will show you very dangerous combinations, and I will teach, well, you'll see when Itachi is done,' she explained as she disappeared. Itachi growled in a low tone. Phire had gone to meet up with Deidara, as he would help her find a place in the city; it's not that she needed help, though, it's just that he felt like accompanying her.

'So, how'd you get rid of your dude?' Deidara chuckled. Phire giggled a little.

'He's training the hidden moon kid,' she told him as they left. Deidara laughed really hard, and as they were on their way, Kakuzu decided to join them.

'Can't you make money in the city?' he asked. Phire sighed.

'Is he that obsessed with money, Deidara?' she whispered to Deidara. He nodded.

'Forget it,' he whispered back. Kakuzu was counting the ryo that he had so far. Phire rolled her eyes.

'We'll get there in a few hours,' she told them.

'Okay,' Deidara said. Hidan was with Zetsu trying to catch the Yonbi (4 tailed beast), so Kakuzu was alone. Otherwise, Hidan would go.

'Oo, money, huh, what Phire?' Kakuzu asked.

'Your mom,' Phire said.

'Oh okay,' Kakuzu said, still counting the money he had.

'Wtf!' Deidara yelled. Phire sighed.
