Itachi blinked and nodded,
"Konichiwa" itachi whispered, Kasumi giggled and moved forward hugging him, itachi tensed up instantly but soon relaxed.
"Her eyes.." Itachi whispered. Kakashi sighed and moved forward. The two men stared at eachother before nodding, Kasumi then let go of itachi and grinned
"Dad! Can uncle Tachi stay with us?" She asked innocently, kakashi stared at the girl.
"What?" Kakashi asked, watching his daughter with a shocked look, Kasumi then huffed and grabbed hold of her father's wrist as well as Naruto's she then looked to Sakura who nodded, itachi stayed behind watching the three be pulled away from him, once they were far enough away Kasumi frowned. Kakashi stared at her
"You know what I've told you about him kasu, he's not coming with us, he's too dangerous to be around especially with Naruto having the nine tails!" Kakashi said to her seriously Kasumi frowned
"I know dad, but you said it yourself that he was part of the akatsuki and my uncle" Kasumi says looking up at her father with the same serious expression, it then clicked in kakashi's head making him shake his head
"That's Top dangerous kasu, keeping him around will just put us in danger" Kasumi nodded
"I know but it's the best way to gather information" Kasumi says. The two genin staring at her like she was insane, kakashi sighed.
"And what would happen if Naruto was taken?" He asked, Naruto then went pale and began to sweat.
"That won't happen since itachi will be under our super vision, I know that you won't let him out of your sight dad" Kasumi says arms crossed.
"Still kasu it's too dangerous"
"It's the best way to gather information about both the akatsuki's plans and sasuke" Naruto instantly flinched
"He's coming with us!" Naruto exclaimed, "if keeping that guy around us will help us get sasuke back then I'm all for it!" Naruto said loudly. Kasumi nodded
"Besides, you said that sasuke's goal was to kill his older brother, if we can find sasuke, then we can bring him back and Itachi won't have to die" Kasumi reasoned, kakashi shook his head
"Kasumi I get that you want to get to know your uncle and help out. But its just to dangerous at this point in time-"
"We may not get this chance again dad" Kakashi sighed shaking his head. He didn't want them to be in danger, the moment itachi revealed himself this mission because that of A to S rank standards, which wasn't the plan, and just like the first time he took his team to the hidden mist there were far more dangerous encounters. However, Kasumi did make good points, this would give them a chance to find out the akatsuki's whereabouts. Kakashi sighed
"Fine, but only with one exception" Sakura looked at the three, listening carefully it was obviously a family matter which she didn't want to get involved in. Kakashi sighed, looking to all three kids "none of you leave my side until we are sure that man isn't a threat" Kakashi stated, Kasumi nodded
"Alright" Kakashi sighed
"Your lucky your persuading little miss" he muttered ruffling kasumi's hair maki her smile
"Thanks dad" she whispered. Kakashi nodded, sighing. Naruto then grinned and highfived Kasumi. Sakura sighed and looked to Kakashi
"Kakashi-Sensei?" She asked, kakashi glanced at the pinkette
"Don't worry Sakura, everything's alright" he assured the girl. Sakura nodded, Kasumi then ran forward and grinned at itachi who had been patiently waiting. To kakashi's surprise as well. Kasumi them smiled
"So your itachi huh?" She asked smiling, itachi nodded.
"Your guys time to get going" Kakashi said to the group. Kasumi nodded and smiled, the other three of her group packing up their small camp. She then looked to itachi who was watching her quietly.
"Do you wanna come uncle Tachi?" She asked smiling,
"Why" his deep voice stated, Kasumi smiled
"Cause! I want to get to know my uncles!" She said cheerfully "besides, who knows who is out there that might want to hurt you.." Kasumi said frowning a little, itachi stared at her, memorised by her stunning blue eyes, he then nodded. Not thinking about his decision Kasumi grabbed hold of his hand and grinned
"Dad!!! Uncle Tachi is coming with us!!" She shouted grinning tugging itachi forward. Making the man follow her back towards her group that were already walking off...
