"Today, the only thing I have planned to do is spend time with you, as we have both been forced to clear our schedules, thanks to our favorite and possibly most annoying cousins." Itachi meant both of them. Obito was probably pleased that the auction had turned out the way it did, as much as he liked to meddle in with Itachi's well being.

"Everything else is on hold for the Chuunin Exams," Itachi admitted. "And the most challenging there will be placing genjutsu on small children." Which wouldn't be hard at all for a genjutsu expert. Itachi's problem would be not over doing it with the children.

"Did you get conscripted to help with anything?" Itachi should be keeping up with his brother better than this, and he knew it.
