"Can we do history now? No! We're doing math! But it's Itachi, I'm sure he knows basic math! He is a genius after all. We're doing math, and that's final. Fine. Are you ready Itachi?"

"Hn."

"Um… here's a worksheet, fill that out!"

Zetsu thrust a worksheet into Itachi's hands before running away, I mean casually strolling over to Leader to complain about this whole thing. A few minutes later he returned.

"You done yet? Stop being so rude! It's not nice. Your face isn't nice. We have the same face. No, my face is an awesomely sexy black. Yours is a gross, ugly white."

"I'm done."

Zetsu stopped arguing with himself and took the paper from Itachi. He scanned it over.

"Er… Itachi… were you trying to fail this?"

"No. I applied all the correct mathematical procedures, and checked all the calculations thrice."

"Erm… I don't know how to say this, but You suck. No need to be so crude! What? It's the truth. Besides, it's about time someone put him in his place."

"What do you mean, I suck? I did everything right. See, here it says 7x2=… That's obviously 72."

"No, that's multiplication. 7 times 2 is 14. That's two sevens added together. Stuck up brat. Shut up."

"But… it's 72."

"No, it's 14. Here try this one. 3 times 4 is?"

"72."

"That doesn't have anything to do with the equation you- That's enough! Itachi, try again. 3 times 4 is…?"

"72."

"No, it's 12."

"How is it 12? That makes no sense."

"It makes perfect sense! Ok, let's try this. Imagine there's an Uchiha clan in Konoha, one in Suna, and one in Iwa."

"Okay…"

"Now, imagine that there's four Uchiha's in each clan. How many Uchiha's do you have?"

"Too many, it's supposed to just be me and Sasuke. I will have to go kill these other Uchiha's."

He stood up to leave.

"No, no, no! Sit down, now!"

Itachi slowly sank back down in his seat.

"This is a theoretical situation, meaning not real! Pay attention you stupid So if there's three clans with four Uchiha's in each, how many Uchiha's do you have?"

Itachi sat in great contemplation for a while.

"I think…"

Zetsu leaned forwards in anticipation.

"It's 72."

Zetsu slammed his head on the table.

"That's it! I give up! He's completely utterly stupid! Shut up, you haven't been helping! As a matter of fact, you're the one who said we should do math, and you've done absolutely nothing to help me! … Moral Support. Aargh!"

Zetsu ran out the room, leaving a very confused Itachi behind.

"But 72's my lucky number, it can't be wrong."

If you have any ideas for who Zetsu should teach next, and what he should teach them, please tell me! Thank you for reading !
