"yes."

Itachi walked towards the position of Class 6.

The three ANBU ninjas of Team 6 were one of the few who did not look at him with disgust. This was also Kakashi's consideration, which made Itachi very grateful.

If he stays in an ANBU team that is dissatisfied with his last name, it is likely to cause the team to split.

"Tenzo, I will leave Itachi to you to guide him, so that he can get used to the rhythm of ANBU as soon as possible."

Kakashi gave instructions to the squad leader of the sixth ANBU.

"yes."

The ANBU ninja named Tenzo nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

Kakashi then dismissed the meeting and left the room.

The ANBU also left one after another to continue their unfinished tasks.

ANBU meetings have always been brief and direct, and today's meeting only introduces a new team member. After the introduction, unnecessary time will not be wasted.

To run in the ANBU, you can just run in it directly during daily missions.

Until the end, only Team 6, which Itachi belonged to, did not leave and stayed in the room.

"As you can see, I am Tenzo, the squad leader of Class 6, and you will be under my control from now on, Uchiha Itachi."

"Understood."

Itachi nodded in understanding.

Judging from his voice and body shape, his squad leader is not very old, probably fifteen or sixteen years old.

At this age, he has become the squad leader of the ANBU, so he can be said to be a very powerful senior.

"After that, give yourself a code name so that you can move more easily. Now follow me to the location where the mission is to be carried out."

Tenzo looked at Itachi with an incomprehensible look, which made Itachi a little confused.

However, Itachi didn't ask, and just followed Tenzo obediently, accompanied by two other Anbu.

Itachi was shocked when he saw the scenery in the room.

Somewhere underground in the ANBU headquarters building, a huge house that was completely enclosed and had only one door as an entrance and exit was densely packed with intricate surveillance equipment.

As for the surveillance scene, there is no doubt that it is a place that Itachi is very familiar with - the Uchiha clan.

From the streets of the clan, to the ninja training places, and even outside the Nanga Shrine, they are all under very precise surveillance.

Is this where he works?

In the center of the room, Kakashi stood motionless and stared at the screen. When he saw Tenzo's Class 6 coming in, he just silently gestured for them to get to work quickly.

Working with Team 6 to monitor the Uchiha clan, there are four ANBU from Team 5.

Monitor the Uchiha clan around the clock.

"As you know in the Nine-Tails Incident, we in Konoha lost the Fourth Hokage. And according to accurate intelligence, there is a mole in the Uchiha clan."

Tianzang explained in a low voice.

"The mole?"

"She was placed in the Uchiha clan when Uchiha Ruri defected ten years ago. The death of the Fourth Hokage is probably related to her."

After listening to Tenzo's words, Itachi couldn't help but clenched his fists.

He had heard of the name Uchiha Ruri in the past, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He only knew that he was a very powerful Uchiha ninja who defected to Konoha for unknown reasons.

But he didn't expect that the other party's defection would bring such a major disaster to the family.

If she hadn't defected and murdered the Fourth Hokage, the Uchiha clan would never have ended up in this situation.

So, who is this mole?

Is it one person...or a group? Or are most of the clan members involved?

Itachi felt cold all over.

The oppressive atmosphere made it difficult for him to breathe.

Tenzo patted Itachi on the shoulder and said: "This is not your fault. However, I hope you can keep the things here secret. It will be very troublesome if it is exposed."

"Yes. I won't tell anyone."

Itachi knew that the family already suspected that the ANBU was spying on them.

But they never expected that the ANBU would monitor the Uchiha clan so intensively.

If those tribesmen with radical ideas in the tribe knew about it, it would definitely prompt them to carry out the coup faster.

This matter must be concealed.

Tenzo didn't understand why he placed Itachi in such a place, but he also knew that this was not Kakashi's intention, but the consideration from a higher level, the Hokage.

Temptation? Tianzang thought secretly.

It's really a troublesome thing. This kind of thing is beyond his control.

"Very good. You have to remember that you are now an ANBU of Konoha. There are only missions and villages here, and there is no clan. You are Uchiha Itachi of Konoha now, and you are not fighting with the name Uchiha on your back.

."

This is the most important rule of ANBU.

The ninjas who join here do it for the village of Konoha.

No matter which ninja clan they came from before, or what special background they had.

As long as you join ANBU and put on a mask, you have to give up everything. You must absolutely consider everything from the standpoint of the village, and give priority to obeying the orders of the village's top leaders. This is a principle that ANBU cannot change.

"I understand that personal relationships cannot be included in the mission."

Itachi had this realization.

ANBU is an organization that only elite ninjas can join.

Those who can enter it are ninjas who have a strong will of fire and are excellent in strength. Only then will they be recognized by the Hokage and other high-level officials.

If you can make a name for yourself here, then getting a place in the center of the village is no longer a dream.

After that, he aims to become Hokage and become the first Hokage of Uchiha.

In this way, Shisui's wish will be fulfilled. As long as he can become Hokage, the barrier between the village and the Uchiha clan will naturally disappear.

After that, in the name of Hokage, he would frequently contact the senior officials of the remaining ninja villages, conduct diplomacy, and get the joint help of the remaining ninja village shadows and ninjas. Then, naturally, war would not happen again.

The daimyo did not have the capital to start another war.

The ninja world will win peace.

An unprecedented clear route appeared in Itachi's mind, filling Itachi with motivation to take action.

Therefore, becoming the best ninja in ANBU is the first step.

"Your job position is here, don't put too much pressure on it. At least so far, we have not found any evidence of collusion between the Uchiha clan and the traitorous ninja... This is also a test for you."

Tenzo arranged Itachi in a certain corner and asked him to sit in the corresponding position. He was surrounded by a large number of screens. All the movements of the Uchiha clan were displayed on the screen and printed in Itachi's eyes.

Ghost country, border village.

Although it seems to be a small isolated village, the Ghost Country completed nationwide road construction a few years ago, strengthening communication and management among various towns in the Ghost Country, centralizing power, and issuing government orders.

Can be conveyed accurately and clearly in the first time.

Even if an accident occurs, the city's security forces will arrive at the scene as soon as possible to solve the problem for the people.

It is no longer just a matter of hiring ninjas to solve problems for the people... rather, it is natural for the people of the Ghost Country, who pay taxes every year, to enjoy the protection of the country.

You must not use the simple traditional 'employment' model to pay ninjas to solve problems.

Otherwise, the people's sense of identity with the country will be reduced, which is not conducive to the country's rule. The people will also have a resistance to paying taxes, and when it brews to a certain extent, they will launch riots.

This kind of thing is not uncommon even in the five major countries.

Paying ninjas to solve incidents has become a common thing for people from all over the ninja world.

But hiring a ninja is a big expense.

Civilians with few sources of income not only have to pay taxes, but also pay an additional amount of money to hire ninjas. If things go on like this, only the wealthy people in the wealthy class can hire ninjas.

Therefore, it is obvious that ninjas have gradually become tools for the powerful to oppress civilians.

It was precisely because he understood these shortcomings that Shiraishi made up his mind to change this situation, and the effect was surprisingly good. The people's identification with the country and the government became unprecedentedly enthusiastic.

Now you only need to pay taxes to receive protection from the country and the government, and there is no need to spend additional money to ask ninjas to solve the problem.

People naturally have a high sense of identification with the police force and the ninjas who are affiliated with the military, and will not regard them as lackeys who are used by the powerful to oppress the lower class.

When an accident occurs, it will be reported to the town's security force as soon as possible.
