[ 族 ] “Then you believed the lie that I spun so easily.” Itachi mumbled, his eyes flickered from the blond momentarily. He had hoped that Kisame would take time in whatever he was doing, this wasn’t something he wished to end in a fight. “I put up the image of a kind and caring brother to get what I wanted, I need to test my strength…and I did just that.” The words were spoken so often, it felt like second nature now but even he could become tired and withdrawn because of his own damned deception. “I’m being generous now, Naruto but even I have my orders.” 

After what had happened to Gaara, he would of assumed the blonde would gone by now. However, Naruto was stubborn and determined, he could see why his brother was so fond of him. Never the less, it was becoming increasingly dangerous to have the teenager around, for not his own sake but the blond’s. ”Don’t test my patience, even I have my limits.” In any case, he could just leave and locate Kisame on his own accord; but he was positive that the child would follow suit.

「 ℕ」— There it was again. He’d heard that exact phrase before, those words set in an order to be repeated until believed. But that wasn’t how it worked. “You’re lying.” A bluff or something he desperately wanted to be true, Naruto didn’t know. However he couldn’t just take it back after it’d been said, so he continued regardless. “Telling the truth doesn’t mean quoting yourself, it’s being able to tell it over and over without slip up or the story ever changing.. but you.. you’re lying!” The youth wasn’t even positive he was making a shred of sense, body tensing as he awaited some dramatic exit or even an attack. Either was prepared for, Naruto assuring he wouldn’t be caught off guard. 

         “What’ll happen when you reach your limit? You’ll run off again?” This might have worked against Sasuke, but he was severely doubting his attempts the more he opened his mouth. At least with the younger Uchiha he knew where the limits truly were, knew what to say and what to hold back. But with Itachi, it all poured out, all the frustration he’d held in between them both. The name Uchiha was becoming that of a burden. “Why not face the truth for once, Itachi? You can stop Sasuke, you can put an end to all this.. why are you even with the Akatsuki?! You’re actions make no damn sense.. Dya think you’ll remove me too and really leave Sasuke on his own? It’s not gonna happen dattebayo!”
