Shisui looked at Tsukihi for a while then asked, "Do you want to run this Aerial Fortress?"
Tsukihi nodded. Although this fortress is somewhat dilapidated and many of the facilities here are in ruins, the amount of value Ancor Vantian holds is still very much.
Not to mention other things, the flight capability and Chakra Cannon alone make it a terrifying weapon of war.
It is obvious for an organization like Amatsukami to hold such things in its hands. And Ancor Bantian can also be used as a base of command.
Shisui stared at Tsukihi. To be honest, he doesn't really know Uchiha Tsukihi all that much, therefore, he doesn't trust Tsukihi that much either.
The fact that Kuroto-san has given that pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan to Tsukihi has surprised him very much. It's only because of Kuroto-san that Shisui is willing to accompany and work under Tsukihi's command.
But now the matter of Ancor Vantian came, so he was a bit surprised and asked seriously, "Does Kurotosan know about this?"
Tsukihi was surprised by Shisui's serious words, after thinking a bit she immediately figured out his worries, and nodded, "Don't worry, I am just following Kuroto-sama's orders."
Shisui asked, "Does that mean that Kuroto-san was aware of the existence of air fortress even before?"
Tsukihi nodded, "Mm-hm, there were various objectives of eliminating the Land of Sky, taking control of Ancor Vantian was one of them, this place will now be Amatsukami's base. As for how he knows about the existence of Ancor Vantian, you should have heard Shinno's words right?"
"The part about Shinichi?" – After a pause, Shisui asked, "Does that mean Shinichi is also with us? He also joined Amatsukami?"
Itachi also paid attention to the discussion.
The defection of Uchiha Shinichi who had awakened Mangekyou Sharingan is definitely a very big loss for the Uchiha Clan and the Village. To this day, the Uchiha Clan has not given up on bringing Shinichi back, but they have been unable to do so despite how much they try.
Shisui has blamed himself for this. He feels that he is also partly responsible for Shinichi going rogue and joining Akatsuki Organization. It was Shisui who took the responsibility to bring back Shinichi but he failed to complete it!
Tsukihi shook her head, "Uchiha Shinichi has not officially joined Amatsukami, but it seems that he had some sort of dispute with Shinno. So, he provided some information to Kuroto-sama about Shinno and here we are."
Both Itachi and Shisui were thoughtful after hearing this piece of news. This also explained many things to them.
On the other side, Tsukihi was also silent, the reason she did not reveal Shinichi being undercover in Akatsuki is very simple. A spy is only a spy when him being a spy is unknown to the most, and only known to his contact point. Otherwise, some flaws will appear. Even if Shisui and Itachi are not the kinds of people who will let those flaws be revealed it is still better to not reveal anything.
Moreover, Shinichi was indeed disappointed by his clan and village, even if he blamed himself for the death of Uchiha Kurumi, he was nonetheless disappointed, so it doesn't seem that he has any plans to come back to his clan for the time being. Therefore, Tsukihi doesn't want to give Shisui and Itachi unrealistic hope.
Besides, as long as Shimura Danzo is alive, the return of Uchiha Shinichi would not be a good thing for the Uchiha Clan.
After all, Shimura Danzo did suffer heavy losses from Uchiha Shinchi, so it is best that Shinichi remain in Akatsuki for now.
Shisui put one hand over his eyes, then asked, "Can you arrange a meeting between Shinichi and me?"
Tsukihi shook his head, "Shinichi is in Akatsuki Organization, so he is mostly busy with some or another task, so there is no way to track his whereabouts as he is traveling throughout the Shinobi World. Moreover, your identity is too sensitive, whether as Uchiha Shisui or as Ho Musubi. It would cause too much trouble for him, as well as Konoha."
Itachi, who had been silent all the time suddenly asked, "Is Akatsuki really so powerful?"
Tsukihi pointed towards Shinno who was under Genjutsu and said, "This guy has betrayed Akatsuki, but he should be aware of some extent of power Akatsuki hides. Since you want to know just how strong Akatsuki is, you can get some understanding of that organization from him."
Itachi nodded and walked towards Shinno, activating his Mangekyou Sharingan he looked into Shinno's eyes, then questioned, "Who are the members of Akatsuki Organization?"
Shinno was already under a Genjutsu cast by Shisui and with Itachi's extra Genjutsu he obviously couldn't resist and immediately fessed up everything that he knew.
The members of the Akatsuki Organization included: Sasori, Kakazu, Uchiha Shinichi, Biwa Juzo, Hiruko, him, Zetsu.
Orochimaru a former member… but this information was still not public knowledge…
Then there was Konan and Tendo Pain… about the two of them, all Shinno said was God and Angel… This obviously meant that Shinno is unaware of much information on Tendo Pain and Konan.
The official members of the Akatsuki Organization are all Kage Class or higher than Kage Class shinobi.
Shisui thought of that mysterious masked man with strange space-time Jutsu that tried to abduct Yondaime-sama's son, and asked, "Are these the only official members of the Akatsuki Organization?"
Shinno nodded.
Shisui asked again, "No this can't be right. I know that there is a one-eyed spiral-masked individual in Akatsuki Organization. He uses a strange space-time Jutsu, who is he? Is he not in Akatsuki?"
The existence of this masked man has really made Shisui very scared, space-time Jutsu is not a joke, almost no one is your opponent unless he too masters Space-Time Jutsu.
Shinno's face distorted, and it seemed he was trying very hard to think, but even after a long while of thinking he shook his head, "there is no such individual in the Organization…"
Tsukihi thought, 'The existence of Obito is a secret even within Akatsuki. Currently, there are only four individuals in Akatsuki who are aware of his existence. And those four people are, Pain, Konan, Shinichi, and Zetsu. So it's no wonder that Shinno isn't aware of one-eyed masked individual.'
Shisui was silent after hearing this.
At this time, Itachi asked, "What are the abilities of the leader of the Akatsuki Organization?"
Shinno seemed to struggle here, but just a look from Itachi was enough, and he immediately spoke, "Tendo Pain claims to be God, he has God's eyes from the myth. The Eyes of Rikudo Sennin… making him an extremely powerful Shinobi…far superior to any of the existing Kage."
The occasional pause from Shinno indicated that he was really afraid of Tendo Pain, and this was even shown when under the effect of Genjutsu.
Itachi narrowed his eyes, "Tendo Pain has strength superior to that of all existing Kage?"
Shisui asked with a confused expression, "What are God's eyes?"
"The Rinnegan!"
"What!?" "The Rinnegan!!?"
"Yes, the Rinnegan!"
Shisui muttered, "But Rinnegan has only existed in myths. And there is no solid proof of its existence. How could Tendo Pain have those eyes?"
Tsukihi said, "It's not just a myth, the myths of Rikudo Sennin are true. And the Rinnegan that Tendo Pain has is also real."
Both Itachi and Shisui looked at each other with shocked expressions.
