Tired
By: Silverwolf
Kisame looks at Itachi, "sore?" The Uchiha stretches with a groan, "a bit." The older male shakes his head slightly, "multiple what you feel by ten, that's how your younger brother feels. There are no breaks for those in that stronghold." Itachi makes a face, "how can they fight someone until..." Deidara cuts off Itachi's sentence, "you fight until you can't stand. At that point they force you to give them two more fights. They call it conditioning a fighter. It works well along with running, yeah."
Itachi shakes his head. "So where have you been this morning, yeah." The Uchiha shrugs as if he doesn't understand the question. Azure eyes turn towards Naruto as the younger blonde makes himself comfortable along the couch. Deidara looks towards Itachi as the Uchiha looks at Kisame, "you owe me two hours of your time for cutting things short yesterday."
Kisame nods lightly and begins to follow the Uchiha out of the room. Deidara shakes his head, "beat his ass Kisame, yeah." The older male laughs loudly. Itachi glances towards Deidara silently. The blonde shivers a bit as the Uchiha narrows his eyes in a glare.
Naruto lies stretched out watching television as Kisame and Itachi begin a spar in another room. Deidara shrugs lightly and wanders to watch the pair fight. It seemed the raven learned swiftly. As Kisame tires he allows a new person to take his place.
Hidan throws the raven across the room. Itachi doesn't remain along the floor long before narrowing his eyes and evaluating the male in front of him. Hidan watches the smirk slowly appear on Itachi's face, "what the fuck do you think you're gonna do?" Itachi waits until Hidan moves forward. The raven remains still as Hidan begins his assault. Itachi moves forward after a shot from the other male splits his lip. The raven uses his fingers to cause the other male extreme pain. Itachi holds pressure to the nerve until Hidan lowers himself to his knees. "What the fuck did you do?" Itachi steps away panting slightly, "used a pressure point." Kisame laughs loudly.
Hidan looks at Itachi, "next time I'm going to fuck you up." Itachi shrugs, "who told you you had next time?" Kisame laughs as Hidan leaves the room frustrated. Itachi looks at Kisame, "one more time, old man." Kisame shakes his had, "I'll let you rest a bit. Mostly because you'll learning to hurt me without even leaving marks." Itachi shrugs, "it's a gift."
Naruto steps into the room curiously. The younger blonde looks to Deidara, "he stay's here?" The older blonde nods. "He does now. Hopefully you can keep a secret from your father, yeah." Naruto nods, "I won't tell. If he stays here I'll get to watch him fight too. That seems like fun."
Itachi shrugs, "what I did isn't anything special. All you have to know is where nerves run." The younger blonde laughs a bit as Hidan sits silently. Naruto looks at Itachi, "why even bother to fight them?" Itachi steps froward and rasies his guard in front of Deidara, "because I'm going to figure out how to give my brother freedom." Naruto shakes his head, "you do know the only way your brother could possibly know freedom is if you choose to fight his battles."
Itachi looks at Naruto, "I don't plan to give up my own freedom. There has to be a way to convince them to let my brother go." Naruto shakes his head, "no one walks from from that guy. Especially if he put in the time to train them and the money to provide their basic needs." Itachi steps backward silently as Deidara moves forward.
The older blonde looks at Naruto, "you should move. If I'm going to give him a challenge I can't have you in the way, yeah." Naruto laughs lightly, "no offense Deidara but he's to prepared for you to challenge him." The older blonde looks at the younger blonde as Naruto decides against Itachi and Deidara being opponents.
Naruto watches as Kisame looks at Itachi, "if I were you I'd try a really warm shower and then some sleep. Mostly because I haven't seen you do more than go over every move you've learned since you got here with little sleep." Itachi shakes his head, "I'm not going to let them keep Sasuke any longer than I have to." Naruto looks at Itachi, "that's a sutpid thought. If you don't take care of yourself while you can you won't be of any use to your brother when you do go after him. You should listen once in awhile."
A/N: Will Naruto keep the fact he knows where to find Itachi a secret? Will Itachi ever feel prepared enough to issue a challenge for his brother's freedom?
