"You're not exactly subtle, are you?" Lightning and blood--that had to smell wonderful, didn't it? Maybe it was because he'd seen Kakashi's chidori, but Itachi associated lightning techniques with light and sound and that interesting ozone smell. He had no doubt that all packed quite a punch, though. Itachi was less about strength, more about out thinking his opponent, so it was nice to know someone with a little more raw power would have his back.

Itachi almost snorted. He hadn't thought about that, and if it came to it he wouldn't hesitate over using a weapon made of Abel's blood if he needed to. "Not only are you an excellent source of free food, you're also almost incapable of being disarmed. I should make friends outside my family more often." Itachi gave Abel again a half smile, rather pleased with the situation despite the uncertainty of the mission.

"I'm afraid my own bloodline limit isn't so impressive," Itachi admitted.
