In the sixty-two year after Konoha was built, at the Ryūmyaku Vein in the vast desert.
A white light suddenly appeared on the platform in the Ryūmyaku Vein, and then a figure slowly appeared.
The figure has silver-white hair, white short-sleeved trench coat, and handsome face. It is Kakashi.
"Hah, I'm finally back. It should have been nearly two years, a year earlier than I expected."
Kakashi muttered softly.
He originally thought that his trip might take three years, but he didn't expect it would only take two years.
"It's because everything goes well."
Kakashi walked out of the Ryūmyaku Vein and saw the familiar sky.
At this moment, suddenly Kakashi felt something strange. When Kakashi wanted to get back into the Ryūmyaku Vein, he felt that the Ryūmyaku Vein that he had just come out was actually isolated by an unknown energy, and Kakashi could not get past it.
"This is..."
Kakashi was surprised as the Ryūmyaku Vein seemed to be rejecting him.
"It seems that my time travel made the Ryūmyaku Vein remember me and repelled me. It seems that I will not be able to enter the Ryūmyaku Vein anymore in the future. If I force to get in, I am afraid that the Ryūmyaku Vein will collapse on its own." Kakashi muttered to himself.
Any world is in order, and Kakashi's action this time is destroying this order.
So he can't do it anymore.
"Well, it's good as it makes me won't thinking about traveling through time again." Kakashi chuckled, and his mood became a lot more relaxed.
Kakashi glanced around and didn't stay for a long time. He directly used Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Technique) and disappeared from that place.
In the next moment, in a certain room in Ochagakure, Kakashi's figure appears quietly.
Looking around the room, Kakashi muttered: "There is no change here."
Kakashi did not choose to return to Konoha, but came to Ochagakure.
After leaving the room, Kakashi was slightly surprised after seeing everything in front of him.
The Ochagakure has become completely different from the last time he is here that it is almost unbelievable.
The towering buildings all around making it looks like a great village like Konoha.
"I really don't know what Shisui has done in the past two years. The change is too much." Kakashi murmured.
Just when Kakashi was feeling emotional, a figure landed in front of Kakashi.
The figure is Shisui.
"Kakashi? You're back? Is the matter resolved?" Shisui said in surprise.
"Well, it's done, sooner than expected." Kakashi smiled.
"That's good." Shisui said with a smile.
"How's Akatsuki in the past two years?" Kakashi asked.
"Akatsuki has been very low-key in the past two years. The information from Itachi said that Akatsuki is raising a lot of funds and they probably are getting ready to act," Shisui said.
Kakashi nodded, 'According to the original work, it should be a year later that Akatsuki officially starts their plan.
"How is Konoha's situation?" Kakashi asked.
"Naruto followed Jiraiya-sama traveling out of the village to train. Sasuke is being trained by Clan Head Fugaku, and Tsunade-sama gradually grasped the authority in Konoha. Well, those are the important news." Shisui said.
"It seems that everything is moving in a good direction." Kakashi smiled.
"Yeah, but there is a problem I am a little worried about." Shisui said while frowning.
"What is it?"
"Itachi's body."
"Itachi's body? I have seen Itachi once after Orochimaru invaded Konoha. His body seemed to be sick. Is it becoming more serious now?" Kakashi frowned.
Shisui nodded and said: "Yes, this guy is always getting into something. Did you remember that we once go to the sealed place of Sword of Totsuka back then? Itachi got a clue about the Yata Mirror there, and then he went to find it himself. He was able to found it. However, he also suffered serious injuries. Coupled with improper recuperation, his body is getting worse than before. If this continues, he may die in two years."
"Yata Mirror? No wonder he suffered serious injuries."
Remembering the last time when he was in the sealed place of Sword of Totsuka, Kakashi could understand the difficulties to get the legendary artifact.
"Kakashi, do you have a way to treat Itachi's body?" Shisui asked.
I've only seen him once, so I don't know exactly what condition he is in. Itachi always likes to carry it by himself. But if Tsunade-sama makes a move, it shouldn't be a big problem," Kakashi said.
"Tsunade-sama? I also thought about this issue, but right now, with Itachi's identity, it is obviously not suitable for him to get treatment from Tsunade-sama. But if we wait until Akatsuki is resolved, I'm afraid that Itachi won't be able to hold it." Shisui said worriedly.
Kakashi thought for a while, and then said, "There is another way."
"What is it?"
"In addition the injury he got from when he went to find the Yata Mirror, his sickness should also because of the side effects after using Mangekyō Sharingan. If we can transplant Hashirama's cells to Itachi, he may be cured," Kakashi said.
After hearing this, Shisui looked at his left hand that was created from Hashirama's cells and transplanted to become his new arm.
The arm composed of Hashirama's cells allows Shisui to feel the surging vitality. Not only it enhances his own Chakra, but it also minimizes the side effects from using Mangekyō Sharingan. If it is transplanted to Itachi, it should be able to heal Itachi's sick body.
"It makes sense!" Shisui said joyfully.
"However, we don't have a suitable person to transplant Hashirama's cells to Itachi. It is impossible to find Orochimaru now, and Tsunade-sama will definitely not agree to do this kind of thing," Kakashi said.
"It's okay, there are medical Shinobi in Ochagakure right now, and I also have Hashirama's cells. As long as a little research be done, it should not be difficult to transplant it to Itachi." Shisui said.
"In that case, I'll leave this to you."
"Okay." Shisui nodded in response.
"Good, then I will leave first," Kakashi said.
"Back to Konoha?"
"No, there is another person I'm going to see first. I guess that she is very worried about me after these two years." Kakashi said with a smile.
Hearing this, Shisui was taken aback for a moment, then he said with a smile: "Oh, then you should go to see her. She has already developed Kirigakure very well, and the mess left by the Yondaime Mizukage has all been cleaned up."
"Is that so? That's amazing. Then, I will go now." Kakashi smiled.
"Yeah."
Kakashi's figure disappeared instantly. Shisui only smiled when he saw this, and then turned and left.
The Land of Water, Kirigakure.
At this moment, Mei is now standing on a mountain. This place is where she usually with Kakashi at Kirigakure.
Mei held a red jade stone in her hand, looked into the distance, and muttered: "It's been two years, are you... okay?"
"Well, I'm fine."
An abrupt voice sounded in Mei's ear, making her stiffen.
'That lazy voice, the familiar smell, and the familiar feeling behind me...'
"Mei, I am back..." Kakashi said with a smile.
Mei turned around abruptly and hugged Kakashi tightly. Her eyes are turning slightly red.
