"Alright, Chajian, that's enough. Itachi's right, you should learn something from him."
Shinnosuke sighed, rubbing his forehead. This Chajian of the Senju Clan was actually quite talented, but his personality needed some serious work.
Chajian heard Shinnosuke not only disagree with him but also tell him to learn from Itachi.
Are you kidding me? A young man of the prestigious Senju Clan is supposed to learn from a little kid?
"Itachi, since you realized someone was following us, why didn't you catch him immediately, or tell the teacher?"
Shinnosuke had also spotted the man long ago, and he was certain the man was just an ordinary person, not a ninja.
Most likely, the man was just a spy hired by someone. Even if they caught him, he probably wouldn't know anything.
It was better to leave him be and use him as a test for his students.
Itachi lowered his head and said in a low voice:
"I think the other party is just an ordinary person, and the fact that they dared to do this knowing we are ninjas means they are definitely not a group of ordinary people or samurai."
"So, that man likely doesn't know any useful information."
"As for reporting to you, I think you, as a Konoha Jonin, are certainly aware of this matter."
Naraku scratched her head. So that's how it is?
There were quite a few people on the road at first, and it's incredibly difficult to remember a man who kept changing his clothes in the crowd.
Actually, Naraku's eyes are only good at finding women. If the other party had sent a beautiful woman who kept changing her clothes, Naraku would have caught her long ago.
And Shinnosuke, who was standing to the side, was even more surprised. It was exactly what he'd thought?
To think it took him eight years in the Anbu to reach this level, after joining at the age of twelve.
What kind of brain did this Uchiha kid have?
And through their interactions this past month, he'd found that this Uchiha Itachi was unbelievably mature; he could discuss many complicated political affairs with great expertise.
His understanding of the village and ninjas was also extremely profound.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke even thought this child was born to become the Hokage.
Of course, he didn't know that Sarutobi Hiruzen would absolutely not allow an Uchiha to become the Hokage.
Even though he, more than anyone else, knew that Uchiha Itachi already possessed the mindset of a Hokage.
"Very good, Itachi. Although everyone is already very clear about the current situation, I still need to remind everyone not to relax their vigilance, even within the village. Be careful tonight."
Shinnosuke whispered a reminder before speaking up, "Here are your room keys. But first, let's grab some food. We should rest early tonight because we're traveling tomorrow."
After speaking, Shinnosuke, puffing on a cigarette, led the three kids into the inn.
The small inn was a bit old, with four floors in total. The first floor was a small restaurant, and the upper floors were guest rooms.
Naraku glanced around. The old man wasn't there, so it was clear he didn't intend to provide food and lodging.
The four of them ate a simple meal and then went to the second floor to rest.
For safety reasons, Shinnosuke arranged for the three children to stay in the same room.
As for why he was staying in a single room, it certainly wasn't because he wanted to enjoy himself. It was simply because he wanted to train his disciples.
Sarutobi Shinnosuke went back to his room first, leaving only three children in the hallway.
Originally, Chajian was extremely nervous when he heard that they might be attacked by enemies tonight, and he didn't even eat well. But as soon as he heard that he was going to live with Naraku, he immediately wasn't sleepy anymore.
Are we cohabitating already? This is so exciting, and from this angle, Naraku-chan is really beautiful!
"Don't worry, Naraku, don't be afraid, I'm here."
Uchiha Naraku was full of question marks. What was she afraid of? What did she have to be afraid of? Why were his legs shaking?
"Okay, thank you, Chajian-kun, I'm not afraid…"
[Congratulations to the host, your favorability with Chajian has increased, gaining 10 currency.]
Itachi watched Chajian, who was both excited and afraid, and smiled.
What's the big deal?
By the way, what does Naraku look like when she's sleeping? I definitely have to sleep beside Naraku later.
Thinking of Naraku lying beside him, Itachi Uchiha couldn't stay calm either, his heart thumping like crazy.
Everyone knows that the tech tree in the world of Hokage is very strange. For example, right now, Chajian Senju took out the key to the door from his pocket and opened it.
Then, he turned around with a heh heh heh laugh and said:
"Naraku-chan, you go in first."
Naraku nodded and said thank you, walking into the house first.
Itachi Uchiha quickly followed Naraku's footsteps and entered the door.
The room wasn't large, but it had its own bathroom, and there was no bed. Instead, thick tatami mats covered the floor.
Looks like we're sleeping on the floor.
Itachi went to the window first, looking outside. Then, he opened the large wardrobe in the room. After confirming there was nothing unusual, he closed the curtains.
"Shinnosuke-sensei just told us to be careful. How about we take turns keeping watch tonight?"
Naraku watched the two boys' hands, which were at a loss for where to go, and found it amusing.
"I'll keep watch. I'll protect you tonight, Naraku-chan."
Hearing Chajian's declaration of love, Naraku almost ground her teeth. Relying on you to protect me? By tomorrow, I'll be a corpse.
"Don't talk nonsense. We're all comrades. We'll take turns keeping watch tonight. You take the first half, and I'll take the second."
After saying that, Itachi didn't give Chajian a chance to refute and took out a set of bedding on his own.
As a scheming boy, Itachi spread his bedding in the middle of the small house. This way, no matter which side Naraku slept on, she would be next to him.
(This damn Itachi is too despicable, he actually thought of such a good method.)
Chajian saw Itachi's actions and regretted it, slapping his thigh.
