Itachi somersaulted forward and down towards the ground to avoid the dull black long-sword aimed for his neck. He grunted in exertion as they had been battling for near 3 hours now. The masked Nin quickly followed him with sword extended in a thrust towards Itachi's right eye. Itachi quickly ducked under the thrust and aimed a punch at the Nin's mask that landed. The mask easily shattered under the force of the punch as the Nin jumped back away from Itachi. Itachi's movements suddenly halted as he stared at the Nin's face in shock. He had no eyes same as the figure on his mask. There were not even indentations on the skin to show where the eye sockets would be just smooth skin. He knew of only one person who matched this description, "Uzumaki Naruto, so you are the Moumoku masked ANBU-Hunter-nin."
The Myrddraal remained silent as he launched himself at Itachi swinging the black sword in a vertical slice, which landed gashing Itachi's face and destroying his right eye. Itachi jumped away holding the ruined eye socket inwardly screaming at the pain. Naruto again launched himself at the nukenin moving his black blade in a complex form that resembled the dive of a kingfisher. Suddenly a spiral vortex appeared whisking Itachi away to parts unknown. The Myrdraal looked at the point of disappearance for a long minute then turns away saying, "You may have escaped Uchiha Itachi-san but my blade has claimed your eye sure enough and soon enough your life will follow unless Spiral-san is as great a medic as Tsunade-sama."

"Hokage-sama Moumoku reporting in after failing to capture or kill nukenin Uchiha Itachi. However despite failure to immediately capture the target he has been greatly weakened as he lost an eye during our battle and I suspect that unless his partner has a medic as skilled as Tsunade-sama seeing as the eye was cut by my Thakan'dar blade especially considering I had just retrieved this one after the last one deteriorated beyond proper use."
"Report acknowledged and logged Moumoku-san. Now, why don't we adjourn to my office for a quick chat Naruto-kun?"
