nineteen crows (朱) action

[yourhatred]

[There's a figure clothed all in black and deep feathers of the same color sitting on the edge of the fountain. He's wearing a rather distinctive headdress, the fact that his outfit isn't more native american than it is possibly attributed to his struggles against the full transformation

So it would appear. Hello, Law.

[He holds a hand up without turning to the other man.]

...Do not sit.

[yourhatred]

They are fairly overprotective.

[He doesn't mind this as much as he should.]

Interesting attire.

[Fellow Native American-inspired legend, meet a cartoon Thunderbird. Kazooie, attracted to the feeling of a strange kinship - something much like how she feels for Banjo but on some level she can't really understand, has been driven to seek out Itachi. Now she's perched on a nearby roof, glassy-green oversized cartoon eyes trained on Itachi with as serious a look as she can muster.

A multicoloured bird with a fanged beak might stand out, even before she announces her presence with a decidedly-un-divine:]

What're you just sitting around with all those birds for?

[yourhatred]

[Itachi doesn't attempt to turn and look up in her direction.]

Is there a reason I should not be?

[talontrot]

Not really, but... you could be doing something, you know! All those cool birds around and just... sitting.

[If she was a proper god she might go on about how he could be contributing to the workings of the village and all that. Right now, though, her ascerbic wit fails her.]

Maybe have a whole dark bird army. Whale wouldn't stand a chance against those, I bet. Though I'd still have to drop him in the ocean a couple of times... just for kicks.

[yourhatred]

I do not train birds to attack others. They serve a different purpose.

Does the sight not attract enough attention?

[There is one blond ninja hanging around near the fountain, wearing one hell of an outfit suited for being the evil wizard that he totally is. He's got the cloak, the hat, a long stick that he found, and even a fake beard to better suit his needs. As a wizard.

And far be it from him to recognize someone he knows. But he has no idea what those birds are for, so he's kind of standing far away.] Ahahahaha! Fear my power!

[yourhatred]

[Itachi's eyes flash to red, at which point he is unable to help raising an eyebrow.]

Very well, Uzumaki Naruto. I am trembling with fear.

[nextgen_hokage]

[He can't tell if Itachi was actually scared, mostly because he's never seen any emotion from the guy. But he'll take his word.]

Awesome! Someone's respecting my power in magic! That'll show 'em all!

[yourhatred]

I could respect it even more if you provided me with a demonstration.

[Itachi calmly rests his chin in one hand.]
