At the Uchiha Estate…
Itachi was finishing cooking breakfast for his brother as he tried not to be bothered by what happened last night.
Gaara was something not to take lightly, especially last night.
…
"Excuse me, but is there a problem?" Itachi questioned.
"Forgive my brother, he does not realize the rules of the village and caused minor problems." The redhead informed him.
Strange, there was something about the boy so familiar… Had he met before?
"We will not cause problems again." He informed the elder Uchiha.
"I surely hope so, please keep the honor and integrity of your village in mind next time you wish to pick a fight. But please enjoy your time in the leaf."
Then Itachi's eyes widened in horror as he felt the power from the boy, passing by him. The pressure… it couldn't be! But there was no mistake. He knew that energy anywhere.
…
"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.
…
"Itachi. Itachi. Niisan?"
His brother's voice was enough to snap him out of his daze.
"Oh, I'm sorry, what you were saying?" Itachi apologized as his younger brother rolled his eyes at the head of the house.
"I was asking for the use of our family Dojo. I wish to challenge someone I have met yesterday." Sasuke explained as Itachi rolled his eyes at him.
"Rock Lee? I know of that boy, a little eccentric and high-strung but a nice boy, very nice. He is a lot like his sensei." Itachi chatted as he remembered the odd man with that weird twinkle in his teeth and the unusual amount of energy, "I would advise thinking before you begin to challenge him. Things are not always what they seem."
"Hm. Like I would lose to him." Sasuke scoffed as he left to find the ninja he met yesterday.
"Prepare yourself, Little Brother. You are about to have a rude awakening." Itachi chuckled as he believed Sasuke could use some humility.
It would be good for him.
In the classroom…
Team 7 soon came to meet with the mysterious ninja in spandex green, eager to face Sasuke and see Sakura.
"Uchiha Sasuke, I am honored that you have come to accept my challenge." Rock Lee spoke then saw Sakura, "Oh great Lady Sakura, Beauty and grace of the village such a wonderful angel~!"
"No way! Your eyebrows are so weird!" Sakura screeched while Naru laughed, like a cute girl laughed which was surprising to hear every now and then.
"You're funny man, but you look strong too! I like that." Naruto grinned as Rock gave the look, realization, fondness, and attraction.
No.
No, Sasuke is putting his foot down.
"Who is this fair miss?" Rock Lee swooned as Naru looked surprised.
"Wow, not a lot of people figure out that I'm a girl, mostly due to the jacket. Anyway, I am Uzumaki Naru, I'm going to be the next Hokage Dattebayo!" She introduced herself as Sasuke was getting irritated.
"Don't talk to him, Dobe…" He growled at her.
"How Youthful! To be in the presence of two angels is a momentous day!" Rock Lee swooned once more as he began sending hearts toward the two girls.
Sakura was avoiding them as her life depended on it. Naru, on the other hand, was going to touch one. Sasuke was quick, pushing Naruto out of the way of each heart like he was a ragdoll and causing her to land face-first onto the floor.
"You didn't have to avoid them…" Lee sulked to Sakura while Naruto was growling at her future brother-in-law.
"What did you do that for!"
"Keep your eyes on me, Rock Lee. Our fight should matter more than them, especially her." Sasuke warned as Naru looked offended, "We will spar at my home. Follow me."
Naruto didn't get why Sasuke acted so agitated, but he was acting like a jerk to her. How come Lee wanted only wanted to fight Sasuke, she was as strong as him?
Sasuke then led the way to the estate as some were watching with youthful eyes. It would seem that their private little fight would not be so private after all.
"How youthful for those two to go one on one before the exams to begin and start their rivalry?" The man spoke to Itachi, who was also there.
"Your student is quite impressive, my friend and he seemed quite infatuated with Naru. That's good, another good soul who Naru has won over his heart." The older brother of the Uchiha clan uttered with a smile on his face, "I will keep watch over them, so they do not get out of control or destroy my house or dojo."
"Good idea! I'll even send a friend to help you!"
"It's not that necessary, I can keep things under control."
"Nonsense, I want to see how youthful those two can be!"
Itachi sighed as he felt like he aged a little bit more.
Oh well, he better return home, coughing a little bit on the way there.
