69 BSNW CH 065 Tanzaku Town and the Drunk Beauty (1/2)
After a week of journey, the team reached area near Tanzaku Town that was on the edge of Land of Fire just before reaching the Land of Brine.
Jun and Chino chatted with Itachi and Yakumo chiming in once or twice in between as they travelled at a moderate pace towards Tanzaku Town. However, Suddenly Kakashi stopped and stopped their conversation as a result. Itachi and Jun noticed immediately that Kakashi seemed to be observing something.
”Something wrong?” Itachi asked while raising his guard.
”Might be nothing, but I might have found some traces of human travel even though we have been taking a remote route with general public not coming towards this place. Hold on let me confirm it.”
Kakashi bit his thumb and quickly formed a few quick seals with his thumb bleeding.

”Summoning Jutsu!”
With a contract formation quickly spreading on the ground, white smoke appeared with a small puff. As the smoke cleared, they saw a small seated brown ninja dog with a customized apparel for itself with a ninja band showing Konoha's Symbol.
”Kakashi … Long time since you summoned me. What's up?” The dog asked offhandedly.
”Cute?!” Yakumo exclaimed in surprise
”Yo Missy! I am not cute, I am brave and dashing Ninja Dog, Pakkun! Don't, make a mistake in recognition.”
”Its fine Pakkun!” Kakashi mediated ”Don't pay her attention. I need a favour.”
”Yes, tell me ”
”I found a few traces of humans, or more precisely ninja or bandit like people here. scout around and check whether you can find any.”
”Fine, Leave it up to me.”
”Hold on Pakkun San” Jun interrupted. He moved towards Pakkun and applied a Flying Thunder God seal on him.
”This seal will help you travel to us in an instant. In case you get in trouble please do so.”
”Hmph, lad. I was going on missions long before you were even conceived. Don't teach me how to take care of myself. However, the seal may come useful sometime who knows. Well I will leave now.”
Saying as much Pakkun took off in a burst of speed.
-------------------------------
Some time passed since Pakkun started his tracking. He found the traces Kakashi saw immediately and followed them a while. But halfway through he got a sense as if something was wrong and that someone was deliberately trying to misguide a tracker with obvious tracks. Pakkun got on guard and started searching more carefully.
With a bit of effort, he was able to get a second set of hidden tracks. This one seemed to be the true one that the people who laid the trap for trackers couldn't completely erase.
