"So, the Nine-Tails kid is travelling with Jiraiya, one of the legendary Sannin. That old toad is not someone we want to mess with." Kisame said as both he and Itachi saw Jiraiya with two kids moving towards a town nearby.
"Yes, Jiraiya is a formidable opponent. Fighting him would only cause unnecessary complications. Our goal is to capture Nine Tails, not engage in a battle we might not walk away from." Itachi agreed.
"So, what's the plan? Jiraiya's not going to let that brat out of his sight. We can't just grab the kid with him around. And what with the other one, isn't the blond idiot-looking one is the Jinchuriki ?"
"Jiraiya has a weakness. He's easily distracted by women. We can use that to our advantage. And yes, Uzumaki Naruto is our only target, that other kid, do whatever you want with him."
Kisame grins upon hearing this.
"You want to lure him away with a pretty face, huh? That sounds like something he'd fall for. How do you want to pull it off?"
"Genjutsu." Itachi only said this much. But to which Kisame smirks.
"Ah, Simple but effective. That Sharingan sure is handy in cases like this. But, what if Jiraiya realizes something's off? He's not a fool."
"We'll have to be quick. Jiraiya may realize it eventually, but if we time it right, he'll be too distracted to stop us. The key is keeping him busy long enough."
"I like it. Just one thing… Are you sure you don't want to take on Jiraiya? I mean, a fight like that would be pretty exciting." Kisame asked with a bloodthirsty grin on his face.
"Kisame, our mission isn't about excitement. It's about capturing Nine Tails. A battle with Jiraiya would be unpredictable and could draw unnecessary attention. If other shinobi from Konoha or elsewhere get involved, it could jeopardize everything." Itachi replied, still in his normal tone but this time he did sound a little more serious.
"Right, right. Gotta stick to the mission. But still, it would've been fun."

Jiraiya, Naruto, and Shika finally arrived at the town after hours of travelling. The streets were busy with people, and the air was filled with the smell of food from nearby shops.
"Alright, we're taking a break here," Jiraiya announced, stretching his arms as they walked toward a small inn. "You two, why don't you get something to eat? You must be starving."
Naruto's eyes lit up. "Yes! Ramen, here I come!"
But just as Naruto was about to dash off, Jiraiya stopped him and pulled out his wallet. "Oh, but first… give me your money."
"Huh?" Naruto blinked, confused. "Why?"
Jiraiya grinned. "Because I'm your teacher, and you owe me for all the training I've been giving you. Plus, this is for your own good. You don't need to spend it all at once."
Shika hearing this gave a 'Are you serious' look to Jiraiya but that old man shamelessly asked for money from the little kid, Shika to was a a kid, but he was a reincarnated being so that didn't count.
Grumbling, Naruto reluctantly handed over his money. Jiraiya then took out a small amount of cash from his own wallet and handed it to Naruto. "Here. That's enough for a bowl of ramen."
"Wait a minute!" Naruto protested. "You took all my money and only gave me a little bit of yours! That's not fair!"
Jiraiya just chuckled. "Life isn't fair, kid. Remember that a Ninja should always stay vigilant from overindulging himself, especially when it comes to Money, Women and Alcohol. Now go enjoy your ramen." Jiraiya said and took all the money.
Naruto stormed off, muttering under his breath, while Shika shook his head, amused by the whole situation. He had gotten used to Jiraiya's antics by now.
Shika turned to Jiraiya. "So, what now? Are we just staying here for a while?"
He turned to Shika, Shika already had spread his Shikigami to find that both Itachi and Kisame were trailing them just like in the anime, Shika didn't delay to tell this to Jiraiya. So right now both of them are mainly acting.
Jiraiya nodded. "Yeah, we'll rest here before moving on. No rush. It's good to take things slow sometimes, you know?" Jiraiya replies, while laughing, Shika has to say that this guy is a good actor.
Just as they were getting comfortable, a beautiful woman approached Jiraiya. Her movements were elegant, and she had a shy smile on her face. Jiraiya's eyes lit up immediately.
"Well, hello there," Jiraiya said, grinning. "What brings a beautiful lady like you to someone like me?"
The woman giggled softly and gestured for Jiraiya to follow her. "Come with me… I'd like to show you something," she said in a soft, alluring voice.
'Really, what kind of fool will fall for something like that, what girl says that.' Shika thought and shook his head.
Without thinking twice, Jiraiya was already following her. Making Shika frown, Shika raised an eyebrow, but before he could say anything, Jiraiya was already gone.
Shika glanced at Naruto, who was still happily slurping his ramen. "Eat fast, we need to get to the room after this," Shika said to Naruto.
'I just hope that Sasuke was vigilant and didn't attack Itachi in the village. And even if he did, its better for him to lose his consciousness in the village than here.' Shika thought and got ready for what was about to happen after this.

Itachi and Kisame stood outside the rented room, their eyes cold and focused. They had followed the trail of Naruto and knew he was in this room. Kisame, with his shark-like grin, knocked on the door.
The door opened, revealing Naruto standing there, looking a bit startled. "Who are you guys?" Naruto asked, blinking in confusion. Shika was standing beside him, equally surprised.
Kisame chuckled darkly. "Looks like we've found our target."
Itachi's Sharingan spun, locking onto Naruto. "You're coming with us, Uzumaki Naruto," he said calmly, his voice cold and emotionless.
Before Naruto or Shika could react, Kisame stepped forward, ready to grab Naruto. But the moment his hand was about to reach Naruto, the boy vanished in a puff of smoke.
"A clone?" Kisame growled in irritation. "This brat tricked us."
Itachi's eyes narrowed slightly. "It seems we're not alone, a trap?" he muttered, scanning the room.
Suddenly, the figure standing behind Naruto, who they had assumed was another clone, transformed as well—into Jiraiya.
Jiraiya grinned. "Gotta say, kids a Nara alright," his tone lighthearted but dangerous.
Itachi's expression didn't change, but Kisame's smile faltered for a moment. "How did you know what we were planning.?" Kisame asked with a little irritation in his tone.
"It was that other boy, he's a Nara…" Though Kisame didn't understand what Jiraiya meant, Itachi did. The plan was of that Nara boy, but what he didn't understand was how they even found they were trailing them.
"Where is the Nine Tail," Kisame asked, with a not-so-good-looking face now.
Jiraiya shook his head. "Forget about him, I've already sent him far away from this spot. Thought you two would show up sooner or later, so we made some plans of our own."
"WE ?" Itachi catch the words almost immediately. And that was when suddenly a shout came.
"Charge."
It was Shika who suddenly appeared at the far corner of the corridor.
A dark, swirling shadow formed in front of him, and from it emerged an enormous ox with sharp horns—its entire body radiating raw power. Though others didn't see this, they only saw when Ox was ready to charge at them because Shika gave command Ox to attack them.
Kisame, with his trademark grin, glanced at the incoming beast and scoffed. "An ox? You think that's going to stop me?" He swung Samehada, ready to slice through the creature. But as the ox charged forward, Kisame's smirk quickly disappeared.
The ox was moving far faster than he anticipated. Shika especially appeared a little away from them to give Ox a little space to charge up, Its strength was overwhelming. Kisame swung his sword with all his might, but instead of stopping the ox, the sheer force of its charge ploughed through him.
"What ?" Kisame cried out seeing the seer force behind that attack.
The ground beneath them cracked as the ox rammed Kisame, sending him crashing through the building's wall. Kisame was launched outside, skidding across the ground, leaving deep trenches in his wake.
Jiraiya's eyes widened in surprise. "What the...?" He hadn't expected Shika to be able to summon a creature of such size and power. "Since when can you do that, kid?"
Itachi, though typically expressionless, raised an eyebrow. His Sharingan studied the ox intently. "A summoning technique... but there was no chakra flare ?"
Kisame, now picking himself up from the rubble outside, wiped the blood from his lip. "What the hell was that?" he shouted, clearly annoyed. But it wasn't done, because the ox also came down after Kisame, this time the Ox was even further away from him, ready to charge at him.
Jiraiya let out a low whistle. "Looks like you've got a few tricks kid."
"Yeah, a few," Shika replied with a little smile on his face.
Itachi was the only person left right now, he glanced at both Shika and Jiraiya with a little complicated look on his face.
"I wasn't expecting something like that from a Genin. What's your name ?" Itachi looks over to Shika.
'Well, I am not a Genin anymore, I just haven't gotten my Chunin jacket yet as I was taking that zero-paying S rank mission from that old man, sigh.' Shika thought with a little disappointment.
Shika was just about to answer when he saw those red eyes staring at him and the next second he was in a totally different place. He saw he was standing in a very dark place with horrible sounds coming from his surroundings. It was a Genjutsu. Shika had learned this enough to know that. He immediately mobilized his chakra and got out, but it was he wasn't fast enough.
Itachi already has thrown a few Shuriken towards him, if not for Jiraiya standing near him to push him out of the way, they would have hit him.
But Itachi was expecting that. He was in fact targeting Shika just to lure Jiraiya. He knew that with Jiraiya there, getting out would be hard. Jiraiya might go after him, so he attacks Shika. The next second his Sharingan turns into the form of Mangekyo.
Shika who just come out of his daze saw the Mangekyo and hurriedly clapped his hand to send a jet of water at Itachi who was clearly targeting Jiraiya. The Toad Sannin also saw this, he himself wasn't worried about some Genjutsu but Shika knew.
Itachi only uses Mangeky for three reasons. Susanoo, Amaterasu and Tsukyomi.
Itachi who was about to target Jiraiya had to dodge the powerful water jutsu. He narrows his eyes, can't believe but think that Nara boy somehow knew that he was about to use a powerful attack.
'Fine then…' Itachi internally thought. He wanted to target Jiraiya but that would be hard… so targeting the boy was better. At least his passing out will hold Jiraiya back.
"Tsukyomi," Itachi muttered and then a trail of blood tears dropped from his eye. Next second Shika found himself in a completely different place again.
