The name Uchiha Itachi is also extremely loud among ANBU.

Tenzo looked at Itachi with complicated eyes, thinking that Itachi, who was originally a member of his team two or three years ago, has now not only left his team, but has also become the same team leader as Kakashi.

After spending so many years in the ANBU, I was just a squad leader.

Alas, is this the difference between mortals and geniuses? Tianzang lamented in his heart.

"But do you really want to report it? This is your tribe."

Kakashi pointed at the picture on the screen and said.

"There is no need to test me like this, Kakashi-senpai. The ANBU is Konoha's ANBU. It is not a private force belonging to a certain family. It is only loyal to the village and the Hokage. Since they have strange thoughts, they naturally need to be on guard."

Itachi said firmly.

When he said this, he felt a little painful in his heart.

But he quickly made a choice between his family and the village.

Moreover, the Uchiha clan only has this motive, and it has not yet become an ironclad fact. There is still room for redemption.

"Really? Then let's do what you said. After all, this matter is of great importance and is not something we can decide."

Kakashi nodded.

As a Konoha ninja Kakashi, he was indeed testing Itachi.

"Then, Hokage-sama, let me go over and report. Anyway, I am the most relaxed here."

"Please, Tenzo."

"This is my job, Captain Kakashi. Then I'll go over there."

Tenzo smiled, disappeared, and went to the Hokage Building to report on the surveillance situation here.

"It's hard for you, Itachi."

After Tenzo left, Kakashi said to Itachi...

"This is the path I chose."

"Living like this is quite painful. Since it is your own choice, I can only wish you good luck, Itachi."

Kakashi patted Itachi on the shoulder, walked to the room behind the monitoring room, and started working.

◎

When the sun goes down, Nanga Shrine is shrouded in thin darkness.

On the stairs leading to the top of Nanga Shrine, Itachi saw a familiar figure in front of him and called to him.

"Shisui."

"It's Itachi, long time no see."

Zhisui turned his head and smiled after seeing Itachi, but his eyes could not hide the look of exhaustion.

"I haven't seen you recently, it would be nice to see you are okay."

Itachi smiled relaxedly.

"Don't worry about my situation, I'm just going out on a mission, and I still have the business of the security force to deal with."

Shisui replied.

"Well, it's really hard work."

"It's okay. Compared to your hard work in ANBU, my hard work is nothing."

Shisui responded with a smile.

Is it hard? Itachi felt that he was not self-conscious about this.

He was just fulfilling his duties as a Konoha ninja Uchiha Itachi.

"Okay, let's go up together. Today's meeting is very important."

"Um."

Follow Shisui and walk towards the buildings on the top of Nanga Shrine.

Itachi subconsciously glanced at the woods surrounding Nanga Shrine, and then turned his gaze back calmly.

The surveillance equipment arranged by the ANBU was placed in that forest.

The upper management of the Uchiha Clan's meeting knew everything about it, except for the content of the meeting, the time of the meeting, and the pre-Jonin of the Uchiha Clan who participated in this important meeting.

One after another, ninjas from the Uchiha clan gathered.

Entering the secret room of the shrine, the family crest of the Uchiha clan is engraved on the wall, and the torch drives away the darkness.

More than thirty Uchiha ninjas gathered here.

They are all elite ninjas from the Uchiha clan who have awakened the Sharingan and are powerful.

Among them, Itachi is the youngest, but he is also one of the people who attract the most attention.

There is no other reason. He is the eyes placed by the Uchiha clan around the top officials.

Itachi can be used to capture the movements of high-level officials and Anbu, benefiting the Uchiha clan.

Sitting on the main seat, facing the leader of all the Uchiha clan ninjas, Itachi's father Uchiha Fugaku, who was different from the strict father figure in the family, had a serious expression on his face, as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

Even her mother, Uchiha Mikoto, who used to have a kind face, also had a cold look on her face.

It seems that the person here is no longer an ordinary housewife, but exists as an elite of the Uchiha clan.

Itachi couldn't stand the atmosphere here, it was too depressing.

Every meeting made him feel irritated and depressed, worse than the atmosphere in ANBU.

It was clearly under the protection of the village, why did he act like he was facing a powerful enemy in the territory of the village? Itachi felt very sad.

"According to the intelligence we received before, the Anbu is conducting strict surveillance on us. The residents surrounding the Uchiha clan have also left quietly under the high-level policies, as if to completely isolate us, the Uchiha clan.

Same. The higher-ups don't regard us as fellow villagers at all. Clan leader, let's establish a political power belonging to the Uchiha clan. We can no longer let the will of the Senju dominate the village!"

The speaker was a male Uchiha ninja, with white hair cut short and slender eyes that seemed not to have been opened.

His name is Uchiha Yashiro.

He is one of the representatives of the Uchiha radicals and the Uchiha ninja who is most disgusted with the top management of Konoha.

His will can represent the will of the Uchiha radicals.

Although Konoha has entered a peaceful era in recent years, it may not be true peace for the Uchiha clan.

Due to the conflict between the ANBU and the security forces, residents continued to complain about the arrogant behavior of the Uchiha clan's security forces. The top management intended to separate a part of the space around the Uchiha clan's territory to keep residents away from the Uchiha clan.

This obvious isolation treatment has completely made the Uchiha radicals feel dissatisfied to the extreme.

The so-called establishment of a political power belonging to the Uchiha clan, in Itachi's opinion, is just a nice way of saying it. The real thing is to seize power through a coup.

In that case, the damage to the village would be too serious.

This method made Itachi very repelled.

It might become the trigger for the outbreak of war.

"Itachi, what do you think?"

Fugaku did not respond directly, but looked at Itachi.

Everyone's eyes followed Fugaku's words and focused on Itachi, making Itachi's breathing become very difficult.

Itachi nodded and replied: "Yes, the ANBU has indeed closely monitored our clan."

Because this cannot be refuted at all, and it cannot be concealed even if it is deliberately concealed.

Even if the ANBU's actions are very secretive and have the power of the entire village behind them, the Uchiha clan has a long history and outstanding ninjas appear in every generation, so they will always notice something is wrong.

Before these clansmen could start to agree, Weasel spoke again:

"Actually, I think the ANBU's monitoring is just in case. The family holds gatherings too frequently, so the ANBU will..."

"Then what do you think should be done?"

Uchiha Yashiro, who was originally pleasant to Itachi, immediately looked at him with unkind eyes.

"I think we should reduce the number of clan meetings and stay with ANBU for the time being..."

Itachi made his own proposal.

However, Yashiro Uchiha sneered.

"Itachi, you didn't forget your family's teachings after staying in ANBU for a few years, right? Did the ANBU raise you, or did the clan raise you, and gave you ninjutsu, resources, and a noble status? Who do you stand on?

Which side is it on?"

"I'm not taking any side. I just think that the distinction between enemies and companions needs to be made clear."

Itachi insisted on his own opinion and believed that his tribe's views were too extreme.

"Don't show me your incomprehensible stuff, just tell me which side you are on. Could it be that just because the higher-ups gave you the position of captain of the ANBU, you can forget about your family?
