Genji sat down at the marble bench in the courtyard watching Kimimaro and Sasuke. They were still training and as usual, Sasuke wasn't winning. Sasuke had been training for nearly five years now and he's shown almost no progress.
"Sasuke. Let's call it quits for the day." Suggested Kimimaro as they stopped. Kimimaro walked over to Genji and took a seat next to her on the bench.
" Good morning Genji!" He exclaimed with a smile.
"Where'd you just come from? Lord Orochimaru's chamber?" He asked.
" Well not exactly. Lord Orochimaru took Akito for a check-up." She answered.
"Oh. How is the little guy? I haven't seen him in a while." Kimimaro questioned.
"He's doing fine. He's a bit clumsy but I guess it's natural for a young child." Genji responded.
" Clumsy?" Sasuke asked his arms crossed.
" Yes. He's always running into things, or tripping over something. He often climbs the stairs instead of walking up it. It's so adorable. I assume it's a kid thing. You know, being adventurous? Exploring his surroundings?" Explained Genji.
" Hm. Well, I bet you're glad you have a son. Especially since he's the son of the most revered man in the whole village, nay the world!" Kimimaro replied. Sasuke lost interest and walked away. Once he was gone Kimimaro leaned closer to Genji his lips close to her ear.
" You didn't hear this from me. But I overheard Kabuto and Sasuke talking and I think they're planning to murder Akito. In order to prevent Lord Orochimaru from living." He whispered. Genji's eyes widened. Why would they do that? Kabuto knew she had always wanted a child, Why would he ruin that after so many years of encouraging? And why Akito?
" I believe I have something to tell Lord Orochimaru. Thank you Kimimaro. I'll see you later." She said, waving as she left.
