"Dodge better next time!" Itachi shouted back. This was probably not a good start to the trip, definitely proved Obito's reflexes needed some work. Itachi veered off to the left and went straight up a tree--
--and then went crashing through the branches in an ungainly and entirely ungraceful tumble that quickly turned into what would have been a free fall if the branches weren't so thick. As they were, Itachi went tumbling until he managed to wrench himself around and land roughly on the first branch that would hold his weight.
Itachi gingerly started picking himself up from the crouch he'd landed in, hoping he hadn't strained anything. Even if he started running again, he's lost momentum and Obito would probably be here in seconds.
Had he almost fallen out of the trees trying to avoid the birds nest he'd seen just before he's almost crushed it? Just maybe.
