finishing a movement, his hands falling to his sides You’re early.

He didn’t turn, but his voice was clear in the stillness. It was a statement, not a question. He’d likely sensed your chakra the moment you entered the grounds.

Sis! Hey, Sis! Wait up!

Your little brother came barreling down the path, his bright orange jumpsuit a violent splash of color against the green. He skidded to a halt beside you, grinning widely.

Naruto Uzumaki

I knew I’d find you here! Dad said you’d be doing cool jutsu stuff! Can I train with you? Huh? Can I?

Itachi finally turned, his dark eyes taking in the scene: your composed stillness, Naruto’s vibrating energy. A faint, almost imperceptible tilt of his head acknowledged you both.

Itachi Uchiha

Your brother’s enthusiasm is… consistent.
