Konoha's Root.
Shisui's involvement has managed to re-establish it.
Of course, it is not so easy.
Although Danzo's brainwashing methods are crude, they are indeed effective.
The Root's members with brain damage are no longer in the minority.
It's just that Shisui naturally has its own means.
Being hailed as Uchiha Clan's strongest Genjutsu user is not a boast.
The Root right now is barely maintaining surface peace.
In such a short time, Shisui can only do this much.
As for the rest, it is need to be cleaned slowly, and it may take a year or two to solve it completely.
No one is born ruthless.
It's hard to be ruthless. Most of the people in the Root are ruthless because their emotion is being suppressed.
And it is not so difficult to release this emotion.
After it was released, they will be qualified as Anbu, not the Root.
Let's stop mentioning these for the time being. On this day, three people are inside the secret room of Anbu Commander.
One person is lying on the bed, while the other two are standing beside the bed.
"Kakashi, how is Itachi's condition?"
"He's fine. Although he was burned by Amaterasu for a while, it was only a slight burn. After being treated with Medical Ninjutsu, he would be fine after two days of rest."
Shisui breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said: "This escape plan a bit too crazy. If something went wrong, Itachi would really be burned by the Amaterasu."
Kakashi smiled and said: "That is true enough, but I have tried it with Itachi once before. At the moment of using Amaterasu, Itachi would use the Sharingan Genjutsu to those three people. Then, I would use the reverse use of Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Technique) to summon Itachi's body to my side, and at the same time, leaving a corpse to be burned to ashes. As a result, there are almost no flaws. And..."
"And what?" Shisui asked in confusion.
"It's nothing."
'And how could Amaterasu burn its user to death?'
At this time, Itachi, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes and looked at the two familiar faces in front of him. Seeing this, Itachi knew that the plan to get out had been successful.
The Akatsuki's robe on his body has been burned by Amaterasu, and all that is left is the Shinobi mesh armour.
"It seems that the plan is successful." Itachi said with a smile.
"Of course, if there is no absolute certainty, how can I let you take the risks?" Kakashi said with a smile.
"I'm finally back."
Itachi said as he started getting off the bed. The burns on his body didn't seem to affect him at all.
"Itachi, you still need to recuperate for two days. Just rest here for the time being. By the way, this is yours."
Kakashi said, handing a crow mask to Itachi.
Itachi then took it, and when he looked at the somewhat old mask, there was a feeling of nostalgia in his heart.
When he entered Anbu back then, Kakashi gave him this mask.
This mask followed all his time in Anbu.
And now, this mask was handed over to him again by the same person, giving Itachi an illusion of going back in time.
But he knows that ten years have passed.
"Thank you, Kakashi-senpai."
"There's no need to say that." Kakashi said with a smile
Itachi nodded and said nothing.
"Itachi, after your injury is healed, just like Shishui you will need to live in the Root for the time being. Shisui will tell you the specific things."
"I understand."
"The war is coming soon, and we still have a lot of things to do, sorry to trouble you."
"It's fine, Kakashi-senpai. These are also the purposes of being undercover spy for so many years. I understand the importance of them."
"That's good. Shisui, I'll leave Itachi to you. I still have things to do."
Upon hearing this, Shisui smiled and said: "Got it."
Kakashi waved his hand and left.
The thin back figure looks a little lazy.
Itachi looked at Kakashi's leaving back with emotion in his heart.
He couldn't imagine how bleak his life would be without Kakashi's help.
Probably, Shisui will die, and the Uchiha Clan will also perish in his own hands.
At that time, he knew that he will be full of sin.
Even his own life will be lost due to his sickness.
And all of this didn't happen because of Kakashi's help.
Suddenly, Itachi realized that he has owed Kakashi too much.
Seeing Itachi was in a daze, Shisui patted Itachi on the shoulder and said, "What's wrong? What are you thinking?"
" It's nothing, I just think that Kakashi-senpai is really not having it easy."
"Yeah, over the years, he has taken on too many things. For the Uchiha Clan, he also tried his best. This favor is really too heavy."
"Yeah, but, in this way, the Uchiha Clan has finally integrated into Konoha. Our efforts over the years weren't in vain."
"Yeah, but in the next battle, we still need to be careful." Shisui said solemnly.
"I still have some doubts about the identity of that masked man. I am afraid that he is not Uchiha Madara."
"Oh? What did you find?"
"After being injected with the solution of the Hashirama's cells, I found that his body also seems to have the power of Hashirama's cells."
When Shisui heard this, he was a little curious and said: "That is quite strange."
"Furthermore, I am afraid that White Zetsu is also something created from Hashirama's cells."
"This is interesting. The Shodaime Hokage's cells are really everywhere nowadays." Shisui said with a smile.
"But I think the most troublesome thing right now is perhaps Orochimaru."
"Orochimaru? Why?"
"Orochimaru rejoined the Akatsuki, and he seemed to have reached some agreement with the masked man. When I saw him last time, I felt that there was a terrifying power in his body, which might be superior to the masked man. "
"What? Orochimaru has reached such level?" Shisui was surprised.
Itachi nodded in confirmation.
"It seems that the situation is getting more and more complicated. Forget it, let's talk about it later, you should take care of your injury now."
"Yeah."
In the dimly lit room, Itachi sat quietly and enjoyed the Konoha's air.
Now that he is back here, Itachi's nerves that had been tense over the years gradually relaxed.
Being an undercover spy is not so easy.
He always needed to make preparations all the time.
People who have tasted this high tension work will probably not want to try it a second time.
Of course, there may also be some strange people who would enjoy this kind of fun.
But unfortunately, Itachi is not such a person.
One day later, Itachi felt that his body had recovered to its optimal condition.
Itachi's physique has also been improved because of the injection of the Hashirama's cells.
His resilience has been greatly enhanced, and his Chakra reserve has also increased by a lot.
"Well, it's time to go out. I wonder what the village looks like now."
Itachi said. He then put on the Anbu's uniform placed on the side of the room and the somewhat old crow mask.
His scarlet eyes flickered under the mask.
Uchiha Itachi finally returns!
