WITH KAKASHI
"Good morning Itachi, what brings you here?" Kakashi quipped as he browsed the bookshelf in front of him. "Hn, tell me about your students." Itachi inquired. "AHA!" Kakashi almost squealed as he found what he was looking for. Mission complete, Kakashi turned to focus his attention on the Uchiha heir. "Well Sasuke is my star pupil, but Naruto's raw powered rasengan and taijutsu combos are something to." Kakashi said lightly. "Actually, I am less interested in Sasuke or Naruto and more interested in the Kunoichi of your team." Kakashi immediately stiffened. "Sakura? What about her?" "Is she a capable ninja?" Itachi asked. Kakashi sighed.. "I am going to be honest with you Itachi, Sakura Haruno has no skill what so ever, and frankly, in my professional opinion,
she shouldn't be a Kunoichi." Itachi was shocked, he never hears of any ninja thinking so low of a teammate. "Kakashi-sensei, do you really think that?" a distinctly feminine voice said from behind Kakashi. Kakashi's eye widened. He turned around, and she looked up into his eye and with one hand, teleported leaving black and pink sakura petals."I..I didn't even know she could teleport.. let alone one handed.." Kakashi said, more to himself then to Itachi. "I have to go Kakashi, have a nice day." Itachi said as he too poofed away. Kakashi never heard him though,too busy feeling guilty cause she heard him.
WITH NARUTO
Itachi headed to check the person's house since it was barely eight thirty in the morning. Contrary to Itachi's initial thoughts, Naruto was up and about at 8:30AM on a Saturday at that! Approaching Naruto was easy. All Itachi had to do was invite him to breakfast. Shocked as Naruto was, he was not one to turn down a free meal. Once they settled in with their food, Itachi went to business. "Tell me about your teammate, Sakura." Itachi started. "what slurp about nom nom nom Sakura-chan?" Naruto inquired.
"Tell me about her hobbies, personality, fighting style.." Itachi stated evenly. "slurp Why?" "No particular reason." Was Itachi's simple answer. nom nom nom "Well Sakura-chan likes to read, she has a temper but is sweet otherwise, Sakura-chan also is exceptional at genjutsu and medijutsu but lacks in ninjutsu and taijutsu. Naruto said matter o'factly. "Interesting" Itachi thought. "Any other special attributes?" was what Itachi said aloud. Burrp "Well Sakura-chan has perfect chakra control and works at the hospital." Naruto said proudly. "Sakura-chan's priority is helping people." He ended. Not needing anymore information, Itachi tossed some money down to pay for both of their bills and stood to leave but Naruto stopped him, aura serious. "Don't be like Kakashi-sensei and Sasuke-teme..don't keep knocking her down... because honestly I don't know how many more times she can pick herself up." Naruto said all playfulness gone. As Itachi walked away he pondered what the blonde had said. He decided to mull things over while training sopiveting to the left, he turned and headed towards the Uchiha compound intent on training in the privacy of his own grounds. Upon nearing the training grounds, his Anbu hearing enabled Itachi to pinpoint where someone-presumably Uchiha was training. Through no surprise of his own, Itachi recognized the chakra there. Rather than confront the obviously pissed off Uchiha, Itachi leapt up into the trees to observe.
