At Hokage's office…
Itachi was with the Konoha Council.
They knew he bring dire news if has called for them. Itachi was their eyes and ears, their most skilled informant, even after his retirement as an AMBU. The Hokage poured him some tea to aid the troubled look on his face, it was not good. Itachi has witnessed many things, fought many battles, defeated and slain many for the Leaf, and was known to be feared for his eyes and great power. Seeing him shaken was not a good thing, especially if it still lingered. Whatever it was, it needed their attention straight away, there was no way about it.
"Sir, there is another Jinchūriki in the village." He warned as the air suddenly went still and one of the elders dropped their cups.
"What did you just say?" Homura questioned.
"There is another Jinchūriki in the village, the one from the Sand Village," Itachi repeated as he was as serious as he can be.
"This is a very serious accusation, Head of the Uchiha Clan. Care to elaborate why you believe so?" Koharu demanded.
"When I encountered him, I felt his pressure, that energy… It was the same as my bride's but different, weaker in a sense, but deadly nonetheless."
Hokage Hiruzen took a puff of his pipe and looked to the man who would marry Naru.
"Can you describe him?"
"Quite a disturbed young man, by his chakra alone, he enjoys killing and has little love for the people around him. Red rust hair, black circling marks around his eyes of that of a tanuki, a gourd filled with bloodthirsty sand, and a kanji for Love on his forehead." Itachi described in great detail, though it wouldn't be hard to miss someone like that.
"Did you catch this boy's name?" Danzō wondered, taking great interest.
"Only by chance as he revealed his identity to my brother and my fiancé, most likely to remember them as his future victims. It's Gaara." He answered, shocking the Third.
"Gaara?"
"Yes, Gaara. "self-loving demon". Quite a chilling name." Itachi unintentionally shivered.
"Keep an eye on him for the time being. Only interfere if necessary." The Hokage ordered, "Do not speak a word of this to anyone."
"As you wish." Itachi bowed then left.
The Hokage then puffed on his fight, disturbed by the news he was given. What was Rasa thinking? How could he even think about-? He definitely needed to have a chat with the Kazekage. If Gaara loses control because of that man, there will be hell to pay.
Later, on the streets to where the Uchiha Estate was…
Itachi yawned as he was getting home, thankful that his brother and future while bringing the groceries and other purchases home.
It was a peaceful night as the moon was shining high above the clouds, illuminating the walkway home in its mysterious beauty. Yet not even this charming walk could lift the tension on his mind. He knew the danger that walked into the Leaf and what that one soul could do. Does this boy have control over himself like Naru or is the beast already have a hold on his mind?
"Butting your nose into someone else's affairs can prove quite dangerous, Eldest Uchiha…" A voice from behind threatened as the sand appeared.
Itachi remained still and calm as the sands swirled around his feet.
"You must be Gaara then? The one my brother and my fiancé have met. I am quite surprised to find you out this late a night. A growing boy needs his sleep." Itachi tried a bit of humor.
"Don't try to act bravely in the face of death, Eldest Uchiha…"
"Oh, I do not plan on dying tonight or you to kill anyone at this time. It's rude to hold someone up." Itachi warned as threw the glowing kunai to the ground, puncturing the sand, causing Gaara to howl in pain!
"How-?!"
"A Kunai Blessed and empowered can have many properties. You have come to threaten me, but here is a warning for you. You are a guest of the Leaf, you will behave and follow the rules, or I will be the one to punish you."
"I will return, Eldest Uchiha. Once the time is right, I will feed you to my mother and she will use your bones to make her stronger. Then you brother will die next and I shall claim my mate, the strong female from before, and make her mine..."
Then Gaara was gone, probably to lick his wounds.
He was indeed unstable and will need to be watched.
But the man felt like there was something more to the exams and it was best to prepare Team 7 for what was to come.
