Upon Itachi's warning, Kisame went back to defensive position. His hand grabbed his Samehada, preparing for an attack. The idea of being cautious upon the figure of a weaponless little girl seemed silly, but his partner's hunch had never been wrong before. Itachi had proved to be his lifesaver most of the time. And there was always exception about kid with extraordinary power, like the 4th Mizukage, as example.

Upon seeing their reaction and the obvious change of atmosphere between them, the girl smirked even more, almost as if she were mocking them.

"And? Your business is?" she asked again.

Not letting his emotion showing, Itachi answered, "We are here to visit Old Man Bocchon. We bring stuffs from the village's merchant," as he showed her the package he was entrusted with.

He wasn't exactly lying, however he would like to observe the girl's action a little bit more. There was still too many uncertainties to act, he thought to himself. Keeping his eyes, the sharingan onto the girl's figure, he kept analyzing. Something seemed off, he couldn't see or detect any chakra.

The girl answered, smiling while she swang her body forward and jumped from the wall with smooth motion.

"Heee, such an unusual time to get a visitor. Forget that, it's unusual to get any visitor at all."

She landed on the grass without a sound, and approached Itachi with smiling face.

"Sorry though, Granpa is asleep right now. Wow, what's that? Rice and herbs? Thank you!" she said, reaching for the package.

However, Itachi lifted the package up, out of her reach, while still keeping his posture steady and said, "We need to deliver this package directly to him, we were told to."

The girl squinted her eyes while trying to reach up to the package, and said, "You're lying, uncle merchant won't say something like that. Why are you lying?"

Itachi observed the girl's movement carefully. Her footsteps seemed unsteady and her movement seemed clumsy, like how she fell over the slope earlier that day. However, Itachi couldn't shake off his uneasiness. Something was wrong, not only the she could sneak behind them undetected, but also something else. She had no chakra.

All living being was supposed to have chakra in their body, not only human or shinobi. If all chakra were depleted, a person would lose his/her life. Then why? She was certainly alive. Through his heightened sense, Itachi still could hear her breath. That's why he needed to stall and kept a facade until he figured out more.

"We need to ask him some question," Itachi said,"It won't be long, can you wake him up for a bit?"

"Yeah, we came all the way here and all,"said Kisame, noticing what could be inside Itachi's mind.

The girl pulled back her hands, putting on a frown. "Huuuh, I see… Okay then..,"she said, pulling her hand behind her back, and walked past the two towards the hut's door with playful step.

Then suddenly, there was a slight change in her movement.

"..then you two need to die," she muttered, as she swiftly turned back and reached toward Kisame's neck with her hand.
