Task
Noah had never imagined that the message he sent through the raven Shisui had left behind would, by sheer coincidence, be discovered by the Third Hokage.
What Noah had not expected even more was that Itachi Uchiha had actually told the Third Hokage that Shisui was still alive!
Thinking it over carefully, Itachi Uchiha's actions were understandable. A living Shisui Uchiha was far more intimidating than a dead one, especially under those circumstances, when the Uchiha clan needed the protection of a Mangekyo Sharingan.
Itachi did not know that his father also possessed a Mangekyo Sharingan. As far as he knew, Shisui was the only remaining Uchiha with one.
So, worried that Itachi might leave, the Third Hokage had used an "intelligence exchange" as an excuse to reveal that Shisui Uchiha was alive—though in truth, it was more of a threat.
Itachi Uchiha had not told Shisui about this either. Otherwise, given Shisui's personality, he might have left Konoha.
After learning that Shisui Uchiha was alive, the Third Hokage truly had been somewhat worried. Strictly speaking, Konoha did owe Shisui Uchiha, and Shisui's dojutsu was rather excessive as well.
But precisely because Shisui's dojutsu was so powerful, and because Shisui himself had once served in the Anbu, the Third Hokage had not gone overboard in monitoring his movements.
He merely ordered the Barrier Team to be more vigilant, preventing anyone—aside from ninja leaving the village on missions—from entering or leaving Konoha at will. After confirming that the Uchiha clan had indeed settled down, he also used his spying tool to observe them for a while.
The results proved that Shisui was indeed living a very peaceful life and only wished to be an ordinary person. He had no intention of returning to the Uchiha or the Hokage's side. This
