Pragmatic Hero: He might like saving people, but only people he really cares about.
Itachi Uchiha
Loony Friends Improve Your Personality: Constant exposure to Kimimaro means that Itachi is now a Passive-Aggressive Snarker with a sharp tongue and rapidly thinning nerves when it comes to the Uchiha Clan's coup de tat. Shisui despairs.
Interclass Friendship: Itachi is a Clan Heir, ANBU Captain-Presumptive and expected to uphold the Uchiha Clan's power and honour no matter what. Kimimaro Kaguya is a traumatized refugee under suspicion of espionage and a veritable ton of knowledge. Somehow they hit it off immediately.
I Can't Do This by Myself: Previously, Itachi had been very firm that Kimimaro was not going to even know about the coup. One reveal of Kimimaro's foreknowledge later, and he's ranting about how the coup would never work.
Vitriolic Best Buds: Can and will snipe with Kimimaro. Will also strangle him in his sleep and tussle on the floor if Kimimaro gets too angsty and condescending. Kimimaro can and will fight back.
Friendship Song: Itachi really likes the song Hanging Tree, which Kimimaro taught him.
Alone in a Crowd: As a prodigy oppressed by his family and pushed into being an ANBU wunderkind, Itachi promptly latched onto Kimimaro as a role model; inspired by their similar backgrounds.
Cut His Heart Out with a Spoon: She's very fond of bizarre threats, because freaking people out is funny and it's a good way to weed out the ass-kissers. She's weirded out that Kimimaro sees them as compliments.
Enfante Terrible: Oh look, an adorable little Aburame, isn't she sweet? Unfortunately, she's a very enthusiastic bioengineer with skill comparable to Orochimaru's, an army of steel-eating kikaichu and no concept of privacy.
Cute Is Evil: Short, freckled and fluffy hair pulled back in bunches, aww how sweet.
Platonic Declaration of Love: She has decided that Kimimaro is now her new best friend/plaything and she will take on a Jinchuuriki to prove it.
Drone Deployer: She's an Aburame, it's what they do. A little more terrifying than most, since her kikaichu are custom bioengineered. To eat steel, invade your body and monitor its functions, among other things.
