Habara continued impeaching Uchiha Fugaku inside the shrine, while Shisui had already arrived outside.
Tonight's Clan Meeting was critically important. Shisui would not allow anyone to disturb it, even if that person was Uchiha Itachi!
Moreover, it had been decided from the very start of the Clan Meeting that Itachi would not be allowed inside. Now that Itachi appeared determined to force his way in, Shisui naturally could not agree to it.
Striding swiftly to the outer perimeter of the shrine, Shisui saw Itachi surrounded by people. But his brow quickly furrowed.
