one crow (朱) action

[This particular new feather is walking slowly through town, glancing around with a curious but detached sort of gaze. More than anything else, he looks lost.

Itachi could have snuck around for a while, done reconnaissance in the proper ninja fashion, but he was so thrown off by the mere matter of his continued existence that he hadn't even bothered.

He's silent, taking in everything without appearing to be doing so, journal held loosely in one hand.]

[Naruto nods to Itachi. Obviously, this was something Itachi didn't mean to tell Naruto.

However, with the mention of... that, Naruto's expression falters.] No.

'No' as in you failed to accomplish it, or 'no' in that you haven't been able to return to do so?

... I haven't been home in over a year and a half. [...] And even while he was here, it was tough trying to even talk to him.

[Sharply:] Sasuke was here?

[Was. As in he wasn't anymore.]

[Why so intimidating.]

Yeah, he was.

And what became of him?

He just up and disappeared. Y'know, sent home and everything.

[With the only warning being perhaps a brief narrowing of the eyes, Itachi reaches out to slam Naruto against the nearest wall.]

[Action]

[And since Naruto was kind of busy wallowing in his Sasuke angst pit of despair for that moment, Itachi would pretty much easily slam Naruto against whatever wall was nearby.

And only with a grunt of pain and a cringed expression, Naruto grits his teeth because ow.] O-Oi, what the hell...?

[Itachi just holds him in place for a few moments, gaze cold. Then, slowly, his grip loosened and he released the boy.]

So you need to return home as well.

[And with that, he turns to leave.]

[Action]

[After taking a moment to breathe after being released, Naruto looks at Itachi's back angrily. He's a little more than irritated right now. He probably dropped his groceries too. :C]

I know I do! You didn't have to do that to tell me!

[He says nothing, nor does he turn around to address the angered boy.

Itachi has a lot to think about, and perhaps he's wandered the town enough.]

[Fine, Itachi! Go be a jerk and think and stuff!

Naruto will just have to go shopping again. That's all. ;_;]
