sunshineverse | And then Itachi realizes he's doomed

Where: Between Konoha and Iwa
When: the 10th to the 17th
Notes: This is going to be closed to Itachi, and is the sagas of traveling with one's Hokage.

Obito had found quickly that Itachi would make a better travel companion if he wasn't hidden under ANBU attire so he'd given him the mission a bit more publicaly. Also, it should settle Fugaku down about the cluster of horrible that had been the month before, because obviously Obito going somewhere meant it was political... and thus everyone was happy.

He'd ended up having to pick a team of far from high profile people otherwise, which meant none of his students, but it was okay! That lot could be lookouts, and Itachi would be his... his obvious guard. Yes.

At least the travel would be cut down drastically given the seals, and the others were sent ahead to wait on the other end for him and Itachi to go together. Unfortunately, given Iwa's nature... going straight tot he seal outside their village was asking for an uproar, so instead they were going to go to the one just inside of the country's borders... and go on foot for the next four days. Once the politics was done, then they could take the seal back! Easy.

If aggravatingly time consuming. Thus, talking buddies. It was perfect.

Threaded | Flat

Itachi hadn't thought much about being assigned the mission. Hic clan seemed generally pleased he was being given such a public position as the Hokage's bodyguard on a political mission. There would be small chance of Itachi getting injured again, though he didn't know why they worried so much about that. His hands were nominally recovered.

It was only as he arrived for the mission he realized he was going to be in close quarters with Obito. Normally this wouldn't be a problem, but Itachi had no doubt Obito would be watching Itachi's health closely while they were away. It was one thing to get a report of someone's health and another to see what it looked like in close quarters. Itachi had a small hope he'd remain healthy. His luck could never be that good.

Hopefully he didn't look like someone going to his execution.
