Chapter 188
The journey was very slow.
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 if he had come into contact with children before, those children were only his mission targets.
And this time, he became a mission teammate.
This situation reminded Uchiha Itachi of the time when he was carrying out the mission under the leadership of Uchiha Shisui.
Time flies.
Now he has become a mature ninja who can guide other teenagers.
The vitality of Sasuke and Naruto also caused some special changes in Uchiha Itachi's state of mind.
In the evening, they did not go too far.
At this time, at a flat bottom, thirteen people stopped to rest.
Sasuke and Naruto arranged the night watchmen themselves.
At the same time, everyone began to take charge of what they were good at and began to prepare dinner.
These kids are indeed too young.
There are dangers everywhere outside the village.
In such a situation, they 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 these children is that they have too little experience.
The time interval between their promotion from Genin to Chunin is too short.
However, Uchiha Itachi did not intend to say it now, but wanted to observe what these kids were going to do.
After dinner, the sky was slightly dark.
Naruto simply dealt with the fire escape, and did not even make other guiding [deceptive] fires, and arranged for everyone to rest.
Uchiha Itachi was naturally among the people 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 before we are in life-and-death crisis. 】
Uchiha Itachi originally wanted to be an observer.
Naruto had such a request, and he was naturally happy to do so.
Uchiha Itachi disappeared directly on the ground according to the position arranged by Naruto.
After Uchiha Itachi arrived at this position, he was a little stunned.
This is the tallest tree around.
Moreover, with Uchiha Itachi's strength, at this position, he can take in all the surrounding conditions.
For some reason, Uchiha Itachi always has a feeling that he has been calculated by Naruto.
At this time, Uchiha Itachi also found a problem.
That is, the night watch arranged by Naruto... is that no one is on night watch.
Even Sasuke and Naruto have already arrived at a specific location and started to rest.
The location of the twelve of them is not too far away.
At this distance, they can sense each other.
Uchiha Itachi suddenly felt a little itchy on his head, as if... he was going to grow a brain...
...
There was a hole in the middle of the trunk of a big tree.
At this time, Sasuke and Naruto were at this position.
"Naruto, is it really okay if we don't arrange someone to be on duty at night!?"
Sasuke was still a little worried.
After all, this is not the first time to go out on 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 chakra, and then treat the process of going to Sand Village as physical training...
This... Sasuke was a little confused.
"Brother Itachi will help us watch."
"And you will know in a while."
After Naruto finished speaking, he sat down and began to refine chakra.
As Naruto began to refine chakra, others followed suit.
In just a moment, among the twelve people, except for Uchiha Sasuke who was still stunned and did not enter the state of refining chakra, everyone else had already entered it.
Seeing that Naruto was serious, Sasuke no longer doubted it.
He did not understand, but believed it!
This was the most solid bond between him and Naruto.
In this way, the twelve little ones all entered the state of deep chakra refining.
Well...
Now, Uchiha Itachi's newly grown brain was also broken.
He was even analyzing the reason why Naruto arranged it this way.
As a result...
It seems that they really did not arrange anything, and they all entered the state of refining chakra.
Isn't this...
Isn't it conscripting him?
Let him
, to stand guard?
But... is it really that simple?
Uchiha Itachi started brainstorming again.
"Rustle, rustle..."
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 moment.
Only then did he realize that he seemed to have been hiding his breath all the time.
This was a habit of carrying out missions for many years.
At the same time, Uchiha Itachi also found that the breath of Naruto and Sasuke could tell where they were when he knew their location.
Can be sensed...
No!
That's right, they were in the state of refining chakra, which was equivalent to being in a state of sealing.
There would be no breath leakage.
That is to say...
"The temperature of this fire is still quite high."
"It seems that they will not choose to hide too far away."
"Sure enough, they are the new ninjas of Konoha. They can't even handle the fire properly."
"This time, it's our turn to make a fortune!"
The leading ninja showed a cruel smile on his face.
It can be imagined that if the ninjas of Konoha fell into his hands, they would definitely suffer.
Soon, this group of ninjas chased far away.
"Ah?!"
"Don't you check the surroundings?!"
Uchiha Itachi was dumbfounded.
Even just now, a ninja passed by the place where Shikamaru was hiding, but he didn't even notice it? !
Are these guys here to make fun of me? !
How could they not 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 came.
"Huh?!"
"Another group?"
At this time, Uchiha Itachi's mind was restrained.
Because, the information that they came out to perform the mission this time had obviously been leaked.
The appearance of these people was not a coincidence.
Instead, they came for them.
But...
These guys...
Uchiha Itachi almost crushed the tree trunk directly!
Why don't you look around here!
Why are they all so confident that the fire here is just a decoy, and the ninjas who are performing the mission are hiding somewhere else? !
They are here!
Uchiha Itachi even began to get a little anxious.
In his heart, he kept scolding these ninjas, saying that they were all unqualified ninjas.
...
