Naruto 365

Team Snake awaits Karin's return at the inn. She walks back plotting time with Sasuke when she is suddenly startled. Elsewhere the Leaf ninja rush onwards following Kiba's nose. Karin senses the high amount of chakra and realizes a tracking dog may be with them. Suigetsu is angered at the Karin's slowness and begins to head out. Just then she busts down the door onto Suigetsu alerting the group that they're being tracked. Sasuke asks Juugo if he has the maps for the Akatsuki hideouts, he says yes and they get ready to leave. Outside Sasuke is surprised at his healing power, attributing it to Orochimaru. Sasuke surmises the oncoming group is the Leaf and they should be ignored in favor of finding Itachi. And if it comes to it, Sasuke himself will take on Itachi while the others face the Leaf.

Karin takes Juugo aside and asks if his bird friends can help her. She reveals Sasuke's battle robe, which she fawns over. She asks Juugo if his birds can take pieces of the robe in every direction, to make tracking difficult. Elsewhere Kiba announces that he's now having trouble finding the scent. Kakashi states they've been discovered, probably due to a chakra-sensing shinobi. Kiba states it would be impossible for him to follow the numerous scents, so Naruto takes the initiative, creating Mass Shadow Clones which head off in every direction. A short time later Team Snake arrives at one of Akatsuki's hideouts. Sasuke tells them to wait while he goes on. Elsewhere a Naruto sees a cloaked figure which Sharingan so he moves to hide. From the shadows steps Itachi, who asks Naruto to reveal himself...
