"Hmm?"
Walking on the street, Kakashi suddenly turned around, but didn't see any suspicious figures. He scratched his head, "Is it my imagination?"
In an alley by the street, Itachi leaped up onto the rooftops after a few steps and thought to himself, "As expected of Kakashi, he almost noticed me... However, he has become suspicious; it isn't suitable to continue tailing him."
With that thought, Itachi jumped off the rooftops, preparing to return to his clan for a while.
After he had left, Kakashi appeared at the spot where Itachi had been, looking curiously in the direction Itachi had departed: "What's this guy tailing me for?"
Even if the Uchiha clan had some issues with the village, it shouldn't involve a mere jōnin like him, right?
He was always too laid-back...
Further, Itachi seemed to adamantly side with Konoha; even if his clan was at odds with the village, he would likely stand with Konoha. Why would he monitor him?
It didn't make sense.
