Chapter 296: Shisui and Itachi
Even the Yamanaka family's intelligence network could not grasp Uchiha Itachi's specific whereabouts, and could only circle out a rough range. Shisui left marks in several hidden places nearby that only the two brothers knew about, and then waited.
In the dead of night, Uchiha Itachi came to the lake wearing a black coat with red clouds. He was full of doubts. Who left the mark during the day? "Itachi, long time no see, you have grown taller." Shisui appeared from behind the tree.
Uchiha Itachi looked at him warily, with a look of surprise flashing across his face: "Is it an illusion?"
As one of the top illusion masters of our time, his words were full of uncertainty, which was a rare emotion in him.
"You're much thinner than before." In order to dispel his doubts, Shisui spoke sincerely about their past.
Every incident and every event is so true and believable.
"Are you really, Brother Shisui?!" When they were young, Shisui taught Itachi to practice shuriken, and then carried him home on his back, just like Itachi carried Sasuke on his back later.
These memories were too profound for Itachi. His mind told him to be careful, but his subconscious mind completely believed the fact that Shisui appeared in front of him.
"As you can see, I am indeed a soul, Itachi. I came to you because I have something to tell you."
Shisui went straight to the point, without much greetings like brothers meeting again, and stated his purpose directly.
After listening to his story, Itachi summarized.
"Brother Shisui, are you going to use Kotoamatsukami to control Chiyo and then resurrect the Fourth Hokage?!"
Itachi had served as the Anbu ninja of the Third Hokage for a long time, and later worked as a double agent in the village and family. He had a relatively good understanding of the village's way of doing things, but now he was really shocked by this huge plan.
He asked, "What if Jishen's reincarnation fails?"
Ino had also studied this question, and Shisui answered it very frankly: "If we fail, the village can also gain a Sand Village elder who is extremely friendly to Konoha. I can do something for the village in the end, which is enough."
Itachi finally understood.
Are you guys totally disregarding your alliance with the Sand Village and planning to kidnap their elders? Is the current Fifth Hokage so aggressive? This is completely different from the Third Hokage's style.
Sasuke has not betrayed the village yet, and seems to be doing well in Konoha. As an older brother, Itachi hopes that Sasuke will become the strongest in the Uchiha clan, and then when Konoha is in danger, he will stand up, fulfill his last wish, and protect the village on his behalf.
Now, this scenario is totally wrong. Konoha doesn't need anyone to protect it, and it even needs to take the initiative to provoke a war! You have already invaded someone else's home, is it necessary to arrange someone to "guard" it? It is the Sand Village that should protect their home, right?
When the Fourth Hokage died in battle, Itachi was still young and the two sides had never come into contact, but the virtues of the Fourth Hokage have always been praised by the ninja world, and he had a good impression of this person.
There was really no point in keeping Kotoamatsukami by himself, and since Shisui came to ask for it personally, he had no reason to refuse.
"No problem, it's your eye originally, I'm just keeping it for you temporarily." Itachi summoned his summoning crow, took out the left eye of Kotoamatsukami that was stored in the crow's eye socket, and handed it to Shisui.
This thing itself is an external manifestation of the extremely pure Yintun Chakra, which is different from ordinary flesh and blood.
The Mangekyō Sharingan is connected to his blood, and the soul can serve as the carrier of the eyes. At this time, it returned to the position of the left eye without any effort.
As Shisui thought about it, his pupil power dissipated, and the rotating Mangekyō Sharingan was closed by him, turning it into a normal eyeball. Itachi, who had been staring at him, finally let down his last bit of guard.
This is my brother Shisui. Even the action of closing the Sharingan is exactly the same. It can’t be a fake.
".Shisui-nii, I missed you so much."
"Itachi, I missed you too."
Jiraiya of Myoboku Mountain was tossing and turning.
Shisui took back his Mangekyō Sharingan from Itachi.
Kakashi prepared night clothes, sacks and ropes at home.
Shikaku had been working overtime for several days in a row, formulating a battle plan.
Once the war begins, Konoha must "protect" the Daimyo of the Land of Fire in the first place, then instigate a fight between the Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Cloud Village in the east, confront the Hidden Rock Village in the northwest, and concentrate its forces in the west to crush the Hidden Sand Village first! Force them to return to the negotiation table and form an alliance again.
He prepared several plans for this purpose, but the core idea was that no matter what the situation was, it would be right to attack the Sand Village first! Make them cede land and pay compensation, and then send troops to help Konoha fight.
These big shots in Konoha Village are all very busy.
Ino, the instigator, is still hanging around in the ninja school as if nothing had happened.
Her current status is between "teacher" and "assistant teacher". With Tsunade standing behind her, the Ninja School dare not neglect her, but also dare not assign her teaching tasks.
Ino came to the Ninja School to punch in for work, just for the sake of "high pay, little work, and being close to home", and by the way, to add a few more D-level and C-level tasks to her ninja resume.
After casually talking about theory for half a class, she asked a few naughty kids in the classroom.
"What ninjutsu do you want to learn?"
Konohamaru raised his hands vigorously: "Rasengan!"
Meng Huang, Udon and other children spoke enthusiastically.
"I want to learn the Shadow Clone Technique!"
"Great Fireball Technique!"
People talk about all kinds of things in that small classroom.
Tuntun, who has been eating and drinking well at Yamanaka's house recently and has obviously gained weight, raised his head and looked at the children, seemingly not understanding why they were so excited.
Ino made a downward gesture: "Okay, I heard everything. Let's be democratic and vote. I will teach you what the voting result is. Well, there are nine of you, plus me, a total of ten people, and each of you counts as one vote."
Konohamaru was overjoyed. He looked at his best friends, Udon and Moegi. Now he had three votes. He looked at the other side. There was a new friend named Mugino. It was said that he came from far away to seek refuge with his grandfather. My grandfather died and you came here? But the two of them had a good relationship, so he could be pulled in to help.
There are only nine students in the classroom, and if he can get one more vote, he will be invincible.
Konohamaru was still counting votes when Ino spoke up again, "I'm the teacher, I'll count ninety-one votes by myself, let's practice shuriken today!"
Konohamaru: “.”
Are you kidding me? Okay, whatever you say is right! Ino was very happy. Beating old men, kidnapping old ladies, playing with children, she never got tired of doing these things, full of a sense of accomplishment.
The chakra meridians of these students in the Ninja School are still relatively fragile, and they are unable to refine too much chakra. It would be inappropriate to teach them anything now. They should just practice shuriken honestly!
