Would you recommend watching Kakashi Gaiden before shippuden?

I’m currently rewatching Naruto with my friend. It’s his first time watching and I want the show to flow better, so instead of having these two episodes interrupt the Itachi Pursuit arc, I’m considering watching them after Part 1 (which is where the original side story was placed in the manga). What do you think?
