Flex

Itachi was wondering where everything went wrong, so he decided he had to flex his muscles or his little brother might be manipulated by these Mist village higher ups.

Who knows what conditions they had his dear brother promise. He needs to warn them, that when Itachi is here, nobody can touch Shin.

" Mangekyou Sharingan. "

As soon as the words fell, each and every single one present on Shin's team had the symbol of Itachi's Mangekyou spinning in their eyes, immediately.

Seeing movement stop from behind him, Shin looked back and almost jumped up from his seat.

" Bro! Seriously? Evey single one of them? This.. did you also use that training ground jutsu by any chance..? "

Itachi almost couldn't keep the smile from coming on his face when he saw his brother acting the way he was.

This reminded him of the good old days, when he didn't mess everything up so beyond repair.

But outwardly he didn't even break a sweat, compared to his canon counterpart, he didn't use his Mangekyou Sharingan all that much.

He was still at 20/20 vision, yes, not even slightly blind, just by virtue of being Itachi and the training ground, he found a way to put zero strain on his Mangekyou Sharingan.

It was his secret and it was something he will teach his brother, so neither him nor Sasuke need to go blind.

" I did, and I see you didn't blind yourself by overuse either. I am slightly impressed. "

Condescending tone was overflowing from Itachi as he said the words filled with care, no way, he had a shitty older brother image to maintain.

Shin twitched his mouth, as he shook his head with a sigh.

" Whatever, Mangekyou Sharingan. "

And immediately the people behind him had their eyes changed from Itachi's pattern to his pattern, a six pointed segmented star like pattern.

" Ho? "

Itachi was amazed at how easily his brother broke the genjutsu, even if it was only applied at low power, he was here to check Shin's abilities after all.

Not actually fight him, Shin unlocking Mangekyou this early had made him proud but he didn't expect much from him in terms of actual skill.

" It seems you didn't stay twiddling your thumbs all day long, but are you sure you want to fight me like this? "

Asked Itachi, as he put his legs upon each other and his aura flared up, he had just found out that Mist was somehow using his brother, so he wanted to not start the game immediately.

He couldn't let Mist manipulate his brother after all, and as for checking Shin's skill and his Mangekyou.

Both of them he just did, and he was fully convinced of Shin's ability to protect himself and Sasuke.

" .. you are right, I don't want to start now. I want to do one last thing. "

Getting up he cracked his neck and he shook his muscles.

" I call it Goku giving cell a senzu bean trick, it's a really, really, dumb move, but man is it manly, and I am all about manly. "

Shin swiftly went through multiple hand signs, and before Itachi could identify what Shin was about to do, he found himself inside the belly of an animal.

Fully surrounded by fleshy walls, but that wasn't the worst part, it was that he couldn't move.

" What did shin do? "

Mumbled Itachi, he was lying down on the floor as soon as he identified that summoning jutsu's hand signs were being used, it shouldn't have been possible, so is Shin's Mangekyou ability summon associated?

" This chakra is drilling into my body huh? Susanoo! "

But Itachi's eyelids jumped as he found he couldn't even activate that trick.

" Amaterasu! "

As soon as the black flames fell on the walls they were absorbed and lost.

Now Itachi was really beginning to run out of options unless he wanted to use Izanagi.

Which he might just need to, it's better he loses one Sharingan than all of his life.

" Izanagi "
