All around the mullberry bush [closed]
Where: Konoha, the practice fields.
When: February 10th
Notes: Closed to Ami
Sadly, Itachi rarely found time to practice anymore. He generally ran enough missions to keep himself sharp, but sometimes he liked to get out and do the silly fiddly things like fancy kunai target practice or trying out ridiculous new taijutsu with a clone or friend. He should drag Sasuke or Shisui out to spar with him more often, but Shisui was often out teaching his gennin these days. Sasuke, Itachi thought, would probably be more than happy to spar.
Itachi has spent the past few hours on target practice with various ranged weapons and sparring against clones, Itachi felt more relaxed than he had in weeks. He was making his way home when he heard the noises of kunai thudding into a wooden target. As he passed by, Itachi saw the figure was small. Itachi knew her instantly and paused to watch.
It wasn't as if he doubted Shisui's ability to teach, really. He just wanted to see how the tiny gennin was coming along. He found Ami very intriguing, and he felt a probably very misplaced sense that he should be helping Shisui's gennin out. They were almost like having children, and Itachi would never let Shisui raise his kids without help.

Itachi gave Ami's hands a very serious and very close look. He was pleased to see she had no signs of blisters on her hands, but enough callous she wasn't likely to get a blister.
Ami had exceedingly tiny hands. Genin often used s smaller size kunai for their smaller hands. "That's good. The longer you do this, the tougher your skin gets." Itachi held out his own scarred hand, showing the callouses he'd gotten from various activities from setting traps to throwing kunai or wielding a weapon. Beyond that, the skin on his hands was tougher than a civilians would be, weathered and rough where he'd been neglecting it lately.
"For now you're doing a good job with them." Itachi gave her a small smile and looked at the target. Shisui was away, and Itachi didn't think Ami was likely to ask anyone for help with her target practice, so...
"I spent a lot of time learning how to throw kunai before I was a gennin. I made my cousins show me how to do it, and I practice a lot so I could be better than they were." It hadn't worked out that way until he was much older. "But they showed me some interesting tricks, if you'd like to see them."
