Scroll 3: The Third Uchiha [Naruto]

Chapter 61: The Uchiha Prodigy [Shippuden]

**Authors Note: 

So this is just to get an idea of where we are the actual anime/manga haha because I know when we focus mainly on what Rin is doing where we are in the anime/manga can get a little confusing to figure out. 

So please enjoy, vote and comment!

Kakashi

The plan was simple. Yamato built the centre point and we'd search a 5 kilometer radius before returning and moving the centre-point to begin the search again. The strategy was to be repeated until something came up.

"Starting now our main objective is to find Itachi and take hm into custody." I started.

"The Akatsuki is rounding up the tailed beasts. We believe that they may have already infiltrated the land of fire and are looking for Naruto" I continued glancing at him, but he didn't even flinch.

"Remember Itachi is originally from the hidden leaf village, three years ago he came back for Naruto and we can assume he's on the move to return the village once again." I explained.

"That means Sasuke will be close by" Sakura added and I nodded.

"Following Itachi" I agreed.

"I'm still concerned about the protocol Kakashi-Sensei, 5 kilometers is out of range for our wireless comm units and if we're all split up like that it could be dangerous. Rules dictate a minimum of two man squads for patrols, so..."

"Sakura" Yamato interrupted and she turned to face him.

"Try not be so worried" He assured her as I started hand signs.

"Look" I hit my hand against the roof, my ninja hounds appearing around us.

"Alright let me explain the team rosters for our patrols, to be safe I'm assigning two ninja hounds to each team. So please play nice okay" I explained as the hounds chose their teams.

"What about me?" Naruto asked noticing his lack of team.

"You're a jinchuriki and thus a target, to be safe you'll be escorted by Yamato and our sensory type Hinata and only one ninja hound" I told him.

"Now being ninja hound users Kiba and I will only have one dog" I finished.

"So we're all set and ready to go" Kiba agreed.

"Listen, all of you, your highest priority is to track Itachi and Sasuke's locations. Under no circumstances are you to engage, if you do encounter either one of them you are to verify their location and return here to the central point. Especially you Naruto, don't go running off" I emphasized as I looked towards him.

"I know that, don't' worry" He replied firmly.

"Kakashi-Sensei" I glanced to Sakura.

"All this talk of searching for Sasuke and Itachi but you haven't told us what to do if we run into Rin" Everyone fell silent then, not meeting my gaze. I sighed.

"Rin has disappeared" I started gaining more of there attention.

"She hasn't killed anyone recently, hasn't been spotted in any villages and even our best intel hasn't heard a word of her whereabouts" I explained.

"She could be with Itachi or Sasuke" Naruto pointed out and I shook my head.

"If she had been then her name would have been mentioned in the report of Orochimaru's death, and if she was with the Akatuski there would have been some mention of her aiding in the capture of tailed beasts" I replied.
