43 BSNW CH 039 Training Time - 3

Itachi was standing with a crooked smile, watching Jun smile back at him in return.

"Itachi Nii" Sasuke tackled Itachi in the midriff when he was distracted earning a groan from him. Itachi gave Sasuke's forehead a poke with two fingers with a smile on his face.

"Satisfied with the surprise attack you wanted Sasuke?" Itachi

"Not at all, he defeated us all so easily" Sasuke said while puffing his cheeks. His innocent and goofy side only came out in front of his brother.

Itachi laughed at his reaction and replied "I am sure it wasn't like that. He must have at-least used 10% of his effort against you, isn't it?" Itachi smirked while Sasuke gasped angrily at Itachi's teasing.

"Niii!!" Sasuke screamed and sent mock-punches at Itachi, which the latter dodged easily and grabbed Sasuke under his arm like a sack of potatoes with Sasuke's hands and legs hanging in air.

"Itachi Nii, don't hold Sasuke like that. He complains later to me and talks my ear off" Naruto said rushing towards Itachi. Itachi sidestepped and grabbed Naruto under his other arm just like Sasuke.

"Then you join him in that position and keep him company" Itachi

Shikamaru sighed while holding his head, watching Sasuke and Naruto'schildishness.

"What? don't tell me you want to be hanged under Itachi's arm like that, Shikamaru?" Jun

"What?!! No! (_groans_) Please spare me that embarrassment! What a drag it is to accompany these two idiots. I would rather lay back and watch the clouds with Choji, even if he just accompanies me to just eat his crisps." Shikamaru

"Alright you three, run along now, Your parents would be worried that you didn't come back after class today. Sasuke you too go home. I will come back later." Itachi

"Would you be coming home too Jun ?" Shikamaru

"Yes I will be, tell Yoshino-San and Shikaku-San I will be here for a week or so before leaving again." Jun

"Alright, Take care Jun, do come back by evening, mum would be definitely making something special for you." Shikamaru said while snickering.

Jun blushed slightly and said "I know" while Shikamaru rushed off with Naruto.

"So you need that training ground to practice?" Itachi

"Not practice per say. I need to complete the request of that old guy in order for him to sell his wares. His shop has pretty unique type items." Jun showed Itachi his whip sword and custom jacket.

"Well these are pretty nice. But the thing is , the training grounds that you mentioned were part of the six training grounds assigned to Chunin and Jonin ninjas and ANBU. With minimum bar being accompanied by at least one Chunin to even think of entering even the lowest ranked ground. " Itachi

"That shouldn't be a problem. If I remember right Hokage should have given me some kind of special ANBU trainee status when he assigned me to go with master. That should work right?" Jun

"Hmm, yes. I believe it will. Lets go then." Itachi

After grabbing a quick bite to eat, Itachi and Jun grabbed a few combat supplies and made their way towards the training grounds. On reaching the gate that cordoned of the training grounds they registered their name for a pass and entered the gate.

The world paused for Jun as a message flashed in his mind.
