Fic: The Lake and the stone [2/??]

Tittle: The lake and the stone [2/??]

Ship: ItaNaru, eventually.

Summary: ’Interesting’, Itachi thinks while he admires the little kid - younger than his little brother- containing what grown men fear in the very verge of his nightmares.

Itachi feels, for a lack of a better word, unamused. As a jounin he doesn’t question - outloud - th Hokage’s choices, but this time his eyebrow trembles against his will.

-Do you want me to track all the Kyuubi-kid movements, Hokage-sama?

-Naruto’s

Ah, there’s Hokage Sandaime-sama and his fashion of never call the fox kid for other name if it’s not his own. He once remembers his mother telling him the blonde kid was Yondaime’s son, but if thst’s true, why all the village treats him so bad?

Maybe his mother was wrong. It wouldn’t be the first time, tho.

-Yes, Hokage-sama.

He leaves from the office and goes to patrol the city, looking for his target.

________

It’s after a good four hours and many angry villagers he manages to find the blonde guy sitting in the front of a pond.

Throwing rocks shamefully, if he was honest with himself.

The weather highs up a bit, making Itachi wary of his surroundings. Is not quite the environment but there’s an specific source.

Something.

He uses his sharingan and sees a little trace of the heat - like a riboon- on the air, linked to someo-

Someone.

The kid isn’t throwing rocks because he’s practising. He’s doing it because he’s trying to calm himself.

A growl roars near him. It comes from the fox kid but not quite him.

Oh. Is the main fox. Is the seal already fading?

He prepares to attack but the growls go quiet and quiet, while Naruto keeps thowing rocks on the lake.

‘Interesting’, Itachi thinks while he admires the little kid - younger than his little brother- containing what grown men fear in the very verge of his nightmares.

The Kyuubi.

So Itachi sits on a tree near the boy and quietly he looks at him intently.

This boy, was quite interesting.
