Chapter 8: Smarter
I knew Konoha had produced some great genius including my favourite duo, Itachi and Sasuke. I can see why with the academy giving homework like this. Actually, I don't remember they asking students to find out the trajectory of a thrown kunai, calculating air resistance, wind direction, etcetera.
"Maybe you're just stupid."
"I heard that, Sasuke."
"You're supposed to. Nii-san, how do you answer this?"
I'm not stupid…. I don't think I am. I mean I'm in ANBU! Peeking over Sasuke's shoulder again, I watch Itachi teaching Sasuke… fuinjutsu?!
"When did they start teaching fuinjutsu?"
"Since Naruto started showing off with whatever his parents taught him," Sasuke replied.
"Naruto… I must expand my knowledge further. I cannot have my brother partake in his pranks." Itachi bit his lower lip with serious expression.
"Itachi, you make him sound like he got into drugs or something."
"How can we be sure that this Naruto isn't up to no good? We need him screened," Itachi suddenly got up but I quickly stopped him before he did something rash… again.
"Itachi, he's the hokage's son. I think there would be a big hoo-haa if Naruto was anything more than a prankster."
"Well, there'll be a bigger hoo-haa once I ki-"
"Ahhhhhh! Don't you dare say that, Itachi! I am not liable when you get arrested."
