After coming down from Nanga Shrine, Itachi did not return home with his father Fugaku, but went to the open woods not far from the shrine.

It was the place where he usually practiced, and Shisui had already arrived here before him.

Hearing the footsteps approaching from behind, Shisui turned around, smiled at Itachi and said, "Congratulations to you, Itachi. Not only did you become a chuunin, but you were also recommended to become a member of the ANBU. It's really incredible.

"

A ten-year-old ANBU, this is the youngest ANBU in the history of Konoha.

Shisui could tell that the clan members gathering at the shrine were sincerely proud of Itachi.

Because this is the embodiment of the power of the Uchiha clan.

It is true that Itachi is a very talented ninja, but without the Sharingan and without the tilt of family resources, it would not be possible to achieve what he is today.

In the eyes of the tribe, now is the time for Itachi to give back to the family.

Enter the Anbu and monitor the movements of the Anbu and village senior officials for the Uchiha clan. The Uchiha clan needs to have first-hand information.

"Stop teasing me, Shisui."

Itachi shook his head helplessly, not looking as happy as he imagined.

When thinking about the gathering, the tribesmen could not help but feel gloomy as they had extremely extreme ideas about the village and the higher-ups.

If the Uchiha clan rises up, Konoha will definitely fall into the quagmire of war, causing countless deaths.

War... A trace of sadness flashed in Itachi's eyes.

Having already experienced the horrors of the war at the age of four, I hated the war very much.

In any case, the clansmen who wanted to start an internal war did not realize at all the pain their actions would bring to Konoha and the Fire Country... Regardless of the overall situation, countless innocent people were implicated for the benefit of the clan.

Come on, how could this happen?

But to stop it... Itachi couldn't think of a way.

He didn't know what method he should use or what position he should take to stop the tribe's growing ambitions.

"Are you feeling distressed by the extreme ideas of your tribe, Itachi?"

The smile on Shisui's face disappeared, or he lost his expression.

This was the first time Itachi had seen Shisui like this.

"Zhisui, how did you..."

"How do I know? You have been a child who likes to think since you were a child. It is only natural that you will be troubled by such things."

Shisui said this.

"As expected of you, Shisui."

Even though he tried hard to hide his inner emotions at the party just now, Shisui saw through it at a glance. Itachi admired Shisui for his keen insight.

Whether it is the use of Sharingan skills or the ability to observe words and colors, Shisui far surpasses himself.

The clan members called themselves a rare genius in the family for twenty years, which made Itachi feel ashamed.

Such a title should be appropriate for Zhisui.

"Don't blame the clansmen for thinking this way, they have no choice but to do so."

"A last resort?"

"Yes, during the reign of the Second Hokage, the Uchiha clan was vaguely ostracized. This is a curse left over from history. The reason why they have extreme ideas is that they are actually at the end of their rope."

"Are you unwilling to give up the glory of your clan?"

Zhishui remained silent.

There are reasons for this.

Because many Uchiha clan members regard themselves as the founder of Konoha, this is also an area where the Uchiha clan is easily criticized.

Blind arrogance and ignorance of the world.

The Uchiha people who only pursue power only see their own strength.

Uchiha is now isolated by many ninjas in the village, both for external and internal reasons.

The clansmen who have awakened the Sharingan are too aloof and arrogant. If they are slightly dissatisfied, they will easily think of extreme actions.

Now I may just talk about it verbally, but in the future... maybe I will realize the extreme ideas I verbally express.

That's when it gets really bad.

Whether a clan is wiped out or Konoha falls into an endless war, this is something Shisui doesn't want to see.

After clearing up his complicated mood, Shisui said to Itachi: "I am also thinking about how the village and the family get along, but my strength alone is not enough. Now that you have joined the ANBU, we can work together to find a way for the family and the family to get along.

A way for the village to live in peace."

Itachi nodded, he thought so too.

The tribesmen's ideas are too extreme, and whether they succeed or not, they will bring huge trauma to Konoha.

This kind of thing must be stopped.

"So I'm begging you. Not only do we need to change the clan's view of the village, but we also need to change the higher-ups' view of our clan. When things have developed to this point, it's no longer an internal problem within our clan. There may be problems with the higher-ups as well."

Shisui hoped that Itachi could convey to the higher-ups the current difficult situation of the Uchiha clan, instead of just simply monitoring their clan.

Such an extreme approach would make it impossible for the clan and the village to live in harmony.

Because only Itachi can do this.

He is the son of the leader of the Uchiha clan. In terms of status, he cannot be compared to Shisui.

Now, Itachi has been selected as an ANBU and has direct access to the village's senior officials.

Shisui is different. Although he is also an ANBU, only the Third Hokage knows the identity of this ANBU.

Just trying to convince the Third Hokage alone is completely useless.

At the same time, I have to explain all this to the two advisors and the root leader Shimura Danzo, and convince all the senior officials to change everything.

Only Itachi is qualified to do this now.

Itachi is not only an ANBU, but also the son of the Uchiha clan leader. His opinions will never be ignored by the higher-ups, and they will definitely be considered carefully.

Shisui is full of expectations for the future. A real bridge of communication between the village and the higher-ups has been established. If the two sides negotiate well, they can definitely avoid unnecessary disputes between the Uchiha clan and the village.

Inside the ANBU headquarters building.

In an empty room, all the ANBU members of the second team gathered.

There are four squads under the Second Squadron, and the fifth to eighth squads of ANBU are all under the jurisdiction of the Second Squadron.

And now Itachi was standing next to the captain of the second ANBU team——

Kakashi Hatake.

He is the captain of the second ANBU team.

Konoha's second generation White Fang.

His father, Konoha White Fang, seemed to have committed suicide at home because of something. He perfectly inherited his father's sword skills and will. He even excelled in his skills and was feared by ninjas from all over the world. He can be said to be a ninja with an extremely famous reputation.

It was also the target that Itachi chased and longed for.

Itachi believed that he who graduated at the age of seven and became a chuunin at the age of ten was already good enough, but Kakashi graduated at the age of five and passed the chuunin exam at the age of six.

His talent made most of Konoha's ninjas feel ashamed and secretly ashamed.

Mirai is likely to be one of the strong candidates for the Fifth Hokage.

"From today on, Uchiha Itachi is a member of our team."

Kakashi stood at the front of the four ANBU squads and introduced Itachi to his subordinates.

Kakashi, who is already the squad leader, rarely has the opportunity to go out on missions.

Most of the time, he stayed in Konoha and directed the operations of the four ANBU squads below.

"Hello, seniors, I am Itachi Uchiha."

Weasel, who is only ten years old, is very small and stands out among the adults.

The four Anbu squad below stared at Itachi with doubts, curiosity, and disgust, as if they wanted to see through him completely.

Itachi also noticed the gathering of gazes and looked at his ANBU with disgust, probably because he had the surname "Uchiha".

The other party has irreconcilable differences with the Uchiha clan.

"Itachi, your team is Class Six, and there happens to be a vacancy there."

Kakashi pointed to the location of Class 6.

There were only three people there, a squad leader, plus two team members, and there was still a third person missing.

Itachi is now the third member of Team 6.
