𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒂𝒄𝒌 // An Intuition

Itachi sighed in exhaustion. He was staying up once again wainting for Naruto and Sasuke to come home so he could hear about their new teams. He was sitting on the edge of his bed holding his head in his hands. Light filtered in through his messily hung drapes and illuminated his face. Itachi groaned. Knowing Naruto, they'd most likely stopped at Ichiraku's for some 'celebratory' ramen.

"Nii-san ! we're home !"

Itachi couldn't suppress a grin. He stood from his perch on the bed and stretched his stiff muscles. He turned to exit his room, but before he could take a step a body collided with his.

"Itachi !" Naruto yelped happily, inhaling the scent of his beloved Itachi-sama. He leaned his chin against Itachi's chest and looked up at him with shimmering blue eyes. Clutching the soft material of Itachi's shirt, he smiled in contentment.

"Naruto-kun, how was your day ?" Itachi asked politely. He looked down at the young boy who was violating him, and ran his hands through the blon's bed head.

"It was awesome. I've got so much to tell you, 'Tachi can wa go to Ichiraku's ?!"

"Didn't you just go ?"

" ... "

Naru, you might get sick from-!"

"Don't say it. Don't, Itachi." Naruto said sternly. He gingerly reached for Itachi's hand and led the teenager to his favourite place in all Konoha. Itachi gave up on trying to secure Naruto's health for the future. Naruto and Itachi arrived at Ichiraku's after a short walk, and sat down. Itachi ordered a bowl hor himself and one for Naruto.

"Okay. So there were a lot of people at the orientation ! And guess whose team I'm on ! I'm on Sakura-chan's... and Sasuke's ! And guess who is my sensei is ? It's Kakashi. He was so late ! And I pulled a sprank on him, he fell RIGHT for it. Can you believe that ? and then we shared some informetion on ourselves, and I talked about ramen, and Sakura acted all weird. She couldn't get all her sentences out, and she kept giggling and looking over at Sasuke. Weird, right ? So tomorrow I have to get up early for a survival test. That's what Kakashi said. And we're not supposed to have breakfast for some reason. Anyways, Kiba, Hinata and that guy Shino are all on a team. As well as Ino-pig, Shikamaru, and Chouji. I still haven't heard who their sensei's are. Also, you know how Sakura was all weird to Sasuke ? Well Hinata is doing the same thing, but to me ! She gets all red, and sometimes she fainst ! I really don't get it. So how was your day 'Tachi ?" Naruto belted out as he finished his third bowl of ramen.

Itachi started dazedly at the blond. He still wan't used to his incessant ramblings. Itachi shook his head before giving a well thought out answer.

"You're on Otouto's team ? that great ! Kakashi-sensei, huh. Don't underestimate him, Naru. He's tougher than he seems. Also, try not to be too hard on him for being late. He has his reasons. Sakura seems to have developed a crush on Sasuke, if I heard right. As for Hinata, I'm not too sure. My day was excruciatingly painful, thank you for asking."

Naruto's eyes were wide. "Painful ? What happened ?"

Itachi frowned and set his chopsticks down.

"Well, I went on a mission. I, uh, passed out, and was left open to attacks..."

"Itachi-sama ! are you alright ?" Naruto exclaimed. He was so worried he abandoned his ramen and started to inspect Itachi.

"I'll be fine."

"Are you not fine right now ?"

"...No. Not exactly."

"Where are you hurt !?"
