ANBU: Two Captains

I finally finished a piece which took me sooo long!

When I first saw this picture - [link] - I was shocked, because I never thought about Kakashi's words "He became an ANBU capitain at the age of 13" about Itachi. So I've started to think about what it was like for Itachi - to be a 13 years old boy among the best young shinobi of Konoha's ANBU. I mean - 13! The same age as Naruto Sasuke and Sakura when they started teir training with Kakashi!..

Then the idea of this picture came to me. Here's an ANBU squad about 5 years before manga start, celebrating their successfully completed mission . All jounins are younger, Ibiki doesn't have his second scar across the face yet. Itachi is 13, and it's milk in his glass...

I wanted to do something dedicated to my friends here on DA - people that support and encourage me in my fandomness. Here it is. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

UPD: I was told that I messed the ANBU mark - females and males have them on different shoulders. Sorry
