A/N: Sorry about the impromptu hiatus, I've had a lot of real life stuff on my hands, plus I don't have a good computer to write on right now. Also, sorry about how short this is. Next chapter should be longer.
Hashirama trailed a little ways away from his wife, carrying two large bags filled with special seals-only paper and far too much ink than what he believed necessary. Mito had taken all of fifteen minutes to secure everything she needed, which surprised Hashirama because she usually took, like, seven times as long.
"Hashirama, dear, do try to keep up. We've left Naruto-kun all alone for far too long." He sighed.
"Yes, honey." Hashirama adjusted his grip on the bags, and sped up to match his wife's speed. Hopefully Naruto didn't get into too much trouble.
Hashirama felt his eyebrow twitch. He and Mito had arrived at the hotel, just in time to see Naruto chatting excitedly and ready to walk off with a known S-Rank criminal. Naruto looked over at them, and grinned. Hashirama saw the criminal's eye twitch ever-so-slightly as his red eyes landed on them.
"Mito-baa-chan! This is Itachi! He's Sasuke's older brother!" Hashirama groaned as a malicious glint appeared in his wife's eyes.
"Oh, really?" Mito said, eyeing the Uchiha. "Well, does Itachi want to join in on our fuinjutsu lesson?"
"Fuinjutsu?" Itachi muttered, his eyes narrowing. Mito's smirk turned decidedly evil.
"Oh yes, fuinjutsu." Itachi began backing away at that point, making Naruto frown.
"Where are you going Itachi? Mito-baa-chan's super cool!" Hashirama swore he heard Itachi mumble something that sounded like, 'more like super crazy,' and he chuckled, which only drew a glare from his wife. Hashirama paled and coughed, trying to cover his chuckles.
"Naruto-kun, I just remembered," Itachi started, his Sharingan whirling as he glanced at a window at the end of the corridor. "that I need to go see Sasuke real quick. I'll be back soon." And with that, the Uchiha was gone, the window down the hall now wide-open.
"Darn." Mito said, pouting at the window. "He would have made a great test-subject."
