Naruto, the time-traveling Naruto has an incredible understanding!.

Because they were carrying twelve teenagers, the speed was not very fast.

This was the first time that Uchiha Itachi had carried out such a mission.

Even though he had come into contact with children before, those children were just his, Uchiha Itachi's, targets.

And this time, I became a mission teammate.

This situation reminded Uchiha Itachi of the time when he was carrying out missions under the leadership of Uchiha Shisui.

time flies.

Now, he has become a mature ninja who can guide other young boys.

The vitality of Sasuke and Naruto also caused some special changes in Uchiha Itachi's state of mind.

By evening they had not advanced far.

At this time, on a flat ground, the thirteen people stopped to rest.

Sasuke and Naruto arranged their own night watchmen.

At the same time, everyone started to take charge of what they were good at and started preparing dinner.

These little brats are still too young.

There are dangers lurking outside the village now.

In such circumstances, people still choose to make a fire and cook.

This is obviously unwise.

Sure enough, no matter how outstanding a genius is, he will have his own shortcomings.

The biggest shortcoming of this group of children is that they have too little experience.

The time interval between their promotion from Genin to Chunin was too short.

However, Uchiha Itachi did not intend to say it now, but wanted to observe what these little brats were going to do.

After dinner, it was getting slightly dark.

Naruto simply dealt with the fire escape, and didn't even make any other guiding [deceptive] fires, and arranged for everyone to rest.

Uchiha Itachi was naturally among those who were arranged.

According to Naruto...

[Brother Itachi, we can still handle the current situation. In order for us to have a better understanding of the mission and accumulate experience, please don't take action until we are in a life-and-death crisis.]

Uchiha Itachi originally wanted to be an observer.

He was naturally happy that Naruto had such a request.

Uchiha Itachi disappeared directly on the ground according to the position arranged by Naruto.

When Uchiha Itachi arrived at this position, he was a little stunned.

Here, it is the tallest tree around.

Moreover, with Uchiha Itachi's strength, at this position, he can take in all the surrounding conditions into his perception.

For some reason, Uchiha Itachi always had a feeling that Naruto had tricked him.

At this time, Uchiha Itachi discovered a problem.

That is, the night watch arranged by Naruto... there was no one on duty.

Even Sasuke and Naruto had reached a specific location and started to rest.

The twelve of them were not too far away from each other.

At this distance, they can sense each other.

Uchiha Itachi suddenly felt his head itchy, as if... he was about to grow a brain...

……

There is a hole in the middle of the trunk of a big tree.

At this time, Sasuke and Naruto were in this position.

"Naruto, is it really okay if we don't arrange for someone to be on night duty?!"

Sasuke was still a little worried.

After all, this is not the first time to carry out a mission.

During the mission, someone must be on duty at night.

Like now, Naruto directly asked all of them to hurry up and refine their chakra, and then treat the process of going to Sand Village as physical training...

This...Sasuke was somewhat confused.

"Itachi-san will help us keep an eye on it."

"Besides, you will know in a moment."

After Naruto finished speaking, he sat down and began to refine his chakra.

As Naruto began to refine his chakra, the others followed suit.

In just a moment, among the twelve people, except for Uchiha Sasuke who was still stunned and had not entered the state of refining chakra, everyone else had already entered it.

Seeing that Naruto was serious, Sasuke no longer doubted him.

He doesn't understand, but he believes!

This is the most solid bond between him and Naruto.

In this way, the twelve little ones all entered the state of deep chakra refinement.

Okay...

Now, Uchiha Itachi's brain, which had just grown, was also broken.

He was even analyzing why Naruto arranged it this way.

result……

They really didn't seem to have arranged anything and they all entered the state of refining chakra.

Isn't that...

Was he drafted into the army?

Let him take up the night duty?

But...is it really that simple?

Uchiha Itachi started brainstorming again.

"Susususu..."

After a long while, Uchiha Itachi's new brain still failed to grow.

Not far away, there was a rustling sound.

Itachi hid his breath at the first possible moment.

Only then did I realize that I seemed to have been keeping my aura hidden all along.

This is a habit of carrying out tasks all year round.

At the same time, Uchiha Itachi also discovered that the aura of Naruto and Sasuke could tell where they were when he knew their positions.

Perceivable...

No!

That’s right, they are in the state of refining chakra, which is equivalent to being in a sealed state.

There will be no breath leakage.

That is to say...

"This fire still has quite a bit of heat left."

"It seems that they will not choose to hide too far away."

"As expected, he is a new ninja from Konoha. He can't even handle a fire."

"This time, it's our turn to get rich!"

The leading ninja revealed a cruel smile.

It can be imagined that if the ninjas of Konoha fell into his hands, they would definitely suffer a lot.

Soon, this group of ninjas chased away into the distance.

"what?!"

"Don't you want to check your surroundings?!"

Uchiha Itachi was stunned.

Even a ninja just passed by the place where Shikamaru was hiding, but he didn't even notice it? !

Are these guys here to make fun of me?!

Why didn't they search carefully around such obvious traces?

Uchiha Itachi even wanted to jump out and tell them where Sasuke and Naruto were.

But Uchiha Itachi held back.

Before Uchiha Itachi could get the correct information, another group of ninjas arrived.

"Um?!"

"Another batch?"

At this time, Uchiha Itachi's mind was calm.

Because the information about their mission this time had obviously been leaked.

When these people appear, it is not a chance encounter.

Rather, it is aimed at them.

Can……

These guys...

Uchiha Itachi almost crushed the tree trunk!

Why don't you look around here?

How come everyone is so confident that the fire here is just a decoy and the ninjas on the mission are hiding somewhere else?!

They are right here!

Uchiha Itachi even began to get a little anxious.

In his heart, he kept cursing these ninjas, saying that they were completely unqualified ninjas.
