FWOOSH!

THUCK!

"Heh..." he muttered. "... bullseye."

Little Satachi-kun, along with his partner and the new members of team 10, are currently waiting for their respective teams to arrive at the training grounds.

It was already 7 o'clock, yet only the four Akatsuki kids were there.

FWOOSH!

THUCK!

"... bullseye again. Tch. This is getting boring."

FWOOSH!

TING! CLANK! THUD! FWUP!

"F***!"

'Hideki' was there too, and is doing the same thing Itachi's been doing since they got there: target practice with kunais. But, it seems like he isn't very good at it anymore...

FWOOSH!

CLANG! CLINK! THUD.

"S***!"

That kunai went way past the actual target, and hit an innocet rock, around 3 meters away.

FWOOSH!

THUD!

"D***!"

That kunai went wat past the target, and hit... nothing at all. It was approximately 2 meters away, and it's currently lying on the grass.

FWOOSH!

FWOOP! KA-CHING! THUD!

"WTF?"

Normally, Kakuzu wouldn't pay any attention to what Hidan was doing, but the 'ka-ching' caught him.

"Hideki, what was that 'ka-ching' I just heard?"

"It's nothing you b****."

Kazu-chan eyed him suspiciously, then looked towards his cloth sling bag filled with money.

Or what used to be his cloth sling bag filled with money.

Turns out that Hidan's Kunai went straight through his bag, grabbed a few bills for itself, left the coins falling and hit a nearby tree, while holding the bills.

"Hideki! You moron! Look at what you did to my bag! And my money!"

"The h*** I care, a******!"

Kakuzu still wasn't used to his very high-pitched voice, but he didn't care that much anyway. He ran straight to the kunai, grabbed the trapped bills and ran over to his bag to catch the falling coins.

While his partner was busy being paranoid, Hidan complained at how he shot thows mini knives.

"What the f*** is wrong with me? I can't even hit that stupid target, not even for one f****** time!"

"No need to worry, 'Hideki'. Hitting the targets is quite a piece of cake," muttered Itachi. He positioned himself with 3 kunais at hand, and threw one.

FWOOSH!

THUCK!

"... bullseye."

"F***."

Now, he threw the second one.

FWOOSH!

THUCK!

"... bullseye again..."

But the 2nd kunai was actually only 2 millimeters away from the 1st kunai. That made Hidan furious.

"Bah! Bet I could do that with closed eyes, b****!"

"...Hn."

Itachi now threw the last one.

FWOOP!

CLICLANG THUCK!

"... Well what do you know, bullseye. Again..." he said in a very bored tone.

The last one practically threw the other knives, for it went straight in between. Hidan was now 'furiouser' than before. (Heh. Furiouser... :D)

"WTF? How come you could throw it like that, brat? I can't even hit it once!"

Itachi just stared at the little silver-haired boy, but he was actually smiling under his big collar.

"... and didn't that f****** old hag take away our capabilities? Why wasn't yours taken?"

"... I already have these skills when I was still 5 years old. Remember, I already became an ANBU captain at the age of 13."

"Tch. Show-off..."

"Hn."

The pair just kept practicing, but Hidan's kunais were waaaaay... WAAAAAAY far from the target. Seems like he didn't have much of his ninja talent when he was young.

"F***! Not a single shot? I couldn't even hit the d*** tree where the f****** targets are painted!"

The Uchiha just observed the silver-haired kid who was now jumping up and down out of frustration. Jeez... Hidan was getting noisier by the minute. Just a few seconds more until the whole village could hear his cursing.

"Better stoop this madness, whether I like it or not..." he thought.

"Hey, Hideki-kun..."

"DON'T F****** TALK TO ME RIGHT NOW! JUST GO AND TALK TO YOUR A**, B****!"

"Well, I could teach you how to perfect the throwing, Hideki."

"I don't need your f****** lessons," he mumbled softly.

"What?"

"I... I don't need your... f***. Fine, would you PLEASE teach me how to target the kunais, sempai?" he asked in a forced happy tone.

Itachi smiled inside. "That's more like it."

He amusingly went behind a defeated Hidan, and grabbed both his arms from the back.

They looked like a cute couple, one teaching another how to throw knives perfectly.

"You ready for this, Hidan?" whispered Itachi. His mouth was so close to the Jashinist's ear.

'Hideki' felt very uncomfortable with the Uchiha around his body, but it was for the sake of his accuracy, so...

"I was born ready."

"Crap. That moron really damaged it. Jeez..."

Kakuzu was seated on a log, behind a very big tree. He was thinking of ways to fix his beloved money bag, but he was no good when it comes to needles and thread.

"Sigh... and to think that this is my only money bag."

"Hey... hey.. Kakuzu..."

The frustrated little boy turned around to see a very eager Kisame. He was awkwardly balancing a kunai on his nose. But it fell right after he called the money-loving kid.

"Ah! Damn, you should have seen that!"

The blue boy picked the kunai, and started balancing it on his hand.

"Bet you can't do that, huh, Kakuzu?"

"It's 'Kazu'. And of course I can do that! It's just a matter of timing and balance."

He grabbed the kunai and did the balancing. Unfortunately, it only lasted for around two seconds.

"Hah!" cried Kisame. "My latest record for 'kunai balancing on the hand' was 10 seconds!"

The dark-haired boy just looked at him stubbornly. He didn't want to accept defeat, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Ano... Sameki, do you know what's on the second floor of the building we stayed at last night?"

Due to the trauma he felt earlier, Kisame paled when he heard the words 'second floor'. Kakuzu noticed the change on Kisame's reaction, so he got even more interested on the chosen topic.

"Wait... are you telling me that – "

"Yeah'" muttered the blue boy. "I've been to the second floor."

"So?" asked Kazu. "What's it like Were there really ninjas as strong as our former selves?"

"Um... You know what? All I saw..."

The shark dude turned away from Kakuzu. Suddenly, there was a creepy background music...

"... was THIS FACE!"

Kisame faced Kakuzu again, but this time, he copied Yamato's scary face, complete with flashlight and background music.

Both were silent for a moment (approximately 5 seconds).

Then...

"Sa.. Sameki-kun..." said Kazu in a low and creepy voice. He saw something that looked very familiar. "... where... where did you get that FLASHLIGHT?"

"Um... I just found it lying somewhere..."

"How much does it cost?"

"I... I don't know..."

Now it was Kisame's turn to change the subject.

"You know what else I saw up there, Kazu-chan?"

"Hmm? What else?"

"I saw HIM!"

"Him? Who?" asked Kazu.

"Kakashi Hatake, the Copy nin. Except that he was... he was... he was..."

"Sameki?"

The blue shark dude started blushing wildly, and it was obvious cause his skin was getting a faint tint of purple. That's what happens when blue guys blush.

"He was..."

"He was what, Sameki-kun?"

"Yeah, Sameki-kun! I was what?" asked Kakashi.

Suddenly, both boys looked towards the big tree. And there was Kakashi, reading his book.

Kisame fainted and fell off the log.

"Kakashi-sensei!" said a strtled Kazu. "How... how long have you been here?"

"Just know." He walked towards a fainted Kisame and stared at him. "So this was the pesky kid who went upstairs. Tch. He looks so familiar.."

"Kakashi-sensei!" called Kakuzu. "How did you end up on the 2nd floor of our house?"

"Hmm? Oh.. I live up there. And so does Gai, Yamato, and Iruka."
