Really? Itachi would have to ask Hinata if she'd ever had lessons like that. "I guess you didn't learn a dozen ways to destroy your own eyes either?" Itachi's tone was completely dry and impossible to tell if he were joking or not, but he quickly transferred his attention to Kushina as she hopped subjects. He wasn't joking about the eyes.

He gave her the smallest of smiles. "I would never insult you with anything less, Kushina-san." Itachi glanced at Adela. "Stay close, but not close enough to get in the way. You protect yourself from blows at all costs, even if it means letting me take one." And that probably went counter to a lot of instincts and training. "Ready?"
