Chapter 2: A day in the Akatsuki.

--LINE--

Uchiha Itachi.

Uchiha Itachi was a simple man. He enjoyed pocky, sleeping and slaughtering clans. Oh, and he was going blind.

Uchiha Sasuke.

Uchiha Sasuke was a very complicated young man. He enjoyed green tea, brooding, cutting his wrists and plotting on destroying his older brother. He took advantage of Itachi's eyesight.

Itachi calmly walked through a small, random lodging town without a care in the world.

'Now brother, you will suffer.' Sasuke thought as he sat on the roof of a building with an anvil in his hands, watching as his brother came closer and closer. 'Now!' he thought and tossed the anvil at his brother just as he was directly below the Uchiha avenger.

'I can hear something...' Itachi thought and looked to his left just in time to see a blue blur heading for him. He immediately took a step back when he noticed that Kisame was in his hugging phase.

"Itachi-san!" Kisame shouted as he tried to glomp the Uchiha, only to find that the Uchiha stepped back. Pouting, he never noticed the anvil above him, slamming straight into his head.

Itachi squinted his eyes when he saw that Kisame was hit in the head by something and looked up into the sky.

"Is it raining?" he asked out loud before sighing. "I need glasses..."

'Damn it!' Sasuke cursed in his mind as he slipped away, preparing to wait for a long time for another opportunity to destroy his brother. Little did he know that he just had to jump down there and slash at Itachi without him even noticing it.

Five days later, Itachi was assigned to distracting Team Kakashi long enough for the extraction of the Shukaku to finish.

When Naruto, Kakashi, Sakura and Chiyo-baasama landed in a clearing, they were met with a strange sight.

"It's been a while, Naruto-kun, Kakashi-san." Itachi said, staring at the four shinobis. "I'm afraid that this is as far as you go."

Team Kakashi just stared...

And stared...

And stared...

"Well, aren't you going to say something?" Itachi asked, pushing up his half inch thick glasses.

Team Kakashi burst out laughing, completely forgetting that they're dealing with an S-class criminal.

"W-What are those things on your face?!" Naruto screamed as he clutched his sides, rolling around on the ground.

"They look like shit!" Kakashi shouted while Itachi's eye twitched.

Now Itachi wasn't one to lose his cool in a situation like this, but when someone makes fun of the glasses he's forced to wear, he's more than likely to lose it.

"S-Shut up! This is the only way I can see properly! Don't make fun of the glasses!"

"G-Glasses?!" Sakura screamed, finding it hard to breath through all the laughing. "I t-thought you were trying to hide behind a window!"

"I said shut up!"

"So this is the famous Uchiha Itachi, huh?" Chiyo asked as she too laughed. "Looks more like a geek to me!"

"Y-You..." Itachi fumed. "Y-You dare... mock me?! That's not nice, you know! Screw you all! I'm leaving! Are you happy now?!" he shouted with a pout as he poofed away.

The next day.

At the Akatsuki lair, Sasori, Deidara, Hidan and Kakuzu were sitting at a table, playing Monopoly, Hidan and Kakuzu vs Deidara and Sasori.

"Alright, Kakuzu..." Deidara said with a sigh as Kakuzu landed on his street again. "I could let you off the hook the last three times, but this time, you have to pay me."

"Never! My money!" Kakuzu said as he hugged his wad cash. It helps if you get money but give nothing. "You'll have to pry it from my cold dead hands!"

"Come on!" Deidara shouted as he reached over the table, only to have Kakuzu stick his hand into the hand in Deidara's mouth and pull on the tongue.

"Did you just... try to take my money?"

"Did you try to steal from us?" Hidan asked with a dangerous gleam in his eye. "Stealing is a sin!" he shouted and took his scythe off his back. "DIE, HEATHEN!"

Hidan jumped across the table, swinging his scythe around wildly while accidentally kicking Kakuzu, or rather, kicking the money out of his hands.

"No!" Kakuzu cried as he dove after his money. "HIDAN!"

"Shit..." Hidan muttered, completely forgetting about Deidara when he saw Kakuzu's furious glare. "This is bad..."

Sasori just sighed as he left the room. Monopoly wasn't anything for him anyway.

Ten minutes later, Pein walked into the room with his nose stuck in his trusted Icha Icha Tactics. He looked up to see Hidan and Deidara hanging from the ceiling, tied up and gagged by Kakuzu's threads.

'I guess it's too early for me to come out...' Pein thought as he went back into his room.
