That night, Yuka walked right in the middle, with Haku and Kimmimaro on either side of her. Following Uchiha Itachi's instructions, the three of them arrived at a location about fifty kilometers away from Konohagakure. This place was said to be the former site of Uchiha Village, where Itachi had told them they could see many secrets regarding the Sharingan.
The midday conversation had lasted a mere ten minutes. After Yuka finished speaking, she had pretended to fight Itachi, allowing him to escape with Kisame Hoshigaki. They had reported back to Jiraiya and promised to return to Konohagakure in three days, then hurried without stopping toward the place Itachi had mentioned.
Before leaving, Itachi and Kisame Hoshigaki had not yet departed that small village, but Yuka no longer had the time to seek out Itachi to catch up. Their squad had already been away for a long time on this outing, and they had to return to Konohagakure before Tsunade took office.
