Obito, How Can You Guarantee That Itachi Uchiha Isn't a Konoha Spy? (Third Update)

Kakashi Hatake remained unmoved by the Third Hokage's teachings.

Because Kakashi Hatake had long since become a heartless man due to his constantly shattered life, he found it difficult to feel any emotion about anything.

According to Kakashi Hatake, the Uchiha Clan's destruction was due to his former comrades being members of the Uchiha Clan. The murderer was his former subordinate, the Uchiha, which is why he was somewhat shocked. However, after dealing with the remains of the Uchiha Clan, he had no further thoughts, only that his life path had become more difficult.

Storm Release and Bloodline Limits are merely combat techniques.

When Kakashi Hatake used Lightning Release in battle, he also worked hard to awaken the Storm Release Bloodline Limit within him. He also tried to develop a set of tactics to match Storm Release based on the Chidori he had researched.

Now?

None of that matters anymore.

Even though the Third Hokage said that this was a teaching passed down to his father by a great man, it did not stir any emotion in Kakashi Hatake's heart.

How?

What a great person!

Will this change his life?

Could that great man possibly resurrect his fallen comrades?

Kakashi Hatake listened to Sarutobi Hiruzen's rambling for a while, then went back to dealing with the Anbu's affairs, still showing little enthusiasm.

"Kakashi- senpai!"

A broad-shouldered man approached and asked in a low voice, "Are those Root ninjas going to join the Anbu?"

"Tenzō— "

Kakashi Hatake finally raised his eyes and slowly nodded. "The Root has been disbanded, and they will now be members of the Anbu."

This person's appearance barely made Kakashi Hatake willing to say a few words.

When Kakashi Hatake was feeling a bit demoralized, he secretly discovered Tenzō's Wood Release Bloodline Limit Genkai, who was still Root ninja at the time. He also discovered that Tenzō was being controlled and persecuted by Shimura Danzo. So he brought Tenzō back to the Anbu from Shimura Danzo. In a sense, he also needed to take some responsibility for the person he had saved.

Tenzō hesitated, unsure whether he should answer.

Tenzō knew that the Root ninjas were still under Danzo's control by his Curse Mark, and they would definitely remain loyal to Danzo. He just didn't know whether he should say it.

"What's wrong?"

Kakashi Hatake found it somewhat strange.

"No—it's nothing."

Tenzō quickly shook his head, deciding to tell Kakashi Hatake about it anyway, "Danzo is extremely skilled with Curse Mark; they still have the Curse Mark that have been used to control them."

"What's the point then?"

Kakashi Hatake placed his hand on Tenzō's shoulder, his eyes showing no emotion. "Even if the Curse Mark on their bodies are removed, the Curse Mark in their hearts cannot be erased—"

Compared to Tenzō, who was worth saving, the Root ninjas who were sent there were truly killing machines brainwashed by Shimura Danzo. They had no emotions whatsoever and were unmoved by anything; their only concern was the mission they had to carry out.

These things.

Nor

This is because the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, was also skilled at using Curse Mark.

The Third Hokage would surely have noticed the Curse Mark on these Root ninjas that were being controlled by someone. Lord Hokage didn't mention it, why should they bother?

"I'm going to the Memorial Stone on the back hill."

Kakashi Hatake pulled his hand down, looking dejected, and went back to change his clothes. He felt he should tell his dead comrades about the annihilation of the Uchiha Clan.

After all·

The other party also once took pride in the Uchiha Clan.

When Kakashi Hatake thought of this, he couldn't help but reach out and touch the eye socket that was covering his eyes. He also had a Sharingan that was given to him by a former comrade.

Sharingan and Storm Release.

In fact, Kakashi Hatake has always possessed two Bloodline Limit.

Even with the power of two Bloodline Limit, Kakashi Hatake was unable to find meaning in his existence.

On the other side.

The Land of Fire Border.

When the Mysterious Masked Man and Itachi Uchiha arrived, they received a message from White Zetsu Clone, instructing them to see Emiya Tsuchihara immediately.

"Lord Shirou wants to see you."

After sending this message, the White Zetsu Clone added, "By the way, Lord Shirou has taken over the Akatsuki. Please be sure to show Lord Shirou respect. My original body has always been worried that you wouldn't respect Lord Shirou enough—"

This matter—

It's actually quite important.

Because the White Zetsu really liked Obito Uchiha, the Black Zetsu only found Obito Uchiha an eyesore, but neither of them wanted Obito Uchiha to be disrespectful to Shirou Emiya.

However·

They all knew that Obito Uchiha was indeed that kind of person.

Even when he inherited Madara Uchiha's will, he was somewhat arrogant towards the elderly Madara Uchiha. Obito Uchiha only believed that the Infinite Tsukuyomi, which could create a new world, was the most important thing, and that no one else mattered.

"Lord Shirou?"

Itachi Uchiha frowned, somewhat puzzled.

"Snort.."

"This is the big shot I'm talking about."

The Mysterious Masked Man nonchalantly revealed Shirou Emiya's identity, expressing some dissatisfaction that Shirou Emiya had joined the Akatsuki: "That medical ninja Shirou Emiya who quelled the First Shinobi World War, the one who must have appeared frequently in the bedtime stories you heard as a child."

The Mysterious Masked Man's wisps of hair fluttered in the wind, his attitude towards Shirou Emiya clearly disrespectful. "Just before we arrived, I received news that Orochimaru had used the Impure World Reincarnation to summon him back from the Underworld— "

!!

Itachi Uchiha was startled.

This is·

Are you kidding me?

How could the Akatsuki possibly have any connection with them!

Although the Uchiha had guessed that the important person was no ordinary person, perhaps a Kage or something similar from a village, they never expected that he would be such an important person!

That's Shirou Emiya!

Shirou Emiya, whose story of a medical ninja has been sung throughout the Shinobi World for a thousand years, is someone even the children on the streets should know!

No dead saint has a more awe-inspiring identity than his!

"We must always respect Lord Shirou!"

The White Zetsu Clone tried helplessly to persuade the Mysterious Masked Man; it was particularly persistent about this matter.

Hopefully, this guy, whom all of their White Zetsu Clone like, won't offend the other party.

"I see."

The Mysterious Masked Man glanced at the White Zetsu Clone with some displeasure and said coldly, "If he doesn't ruin my plan, I'll give him the respect due to a senior."

This is all nonsense...

What are you still saying here!

The Mysterious Masked Man was already somewhat dissatisfied with Shirou Emiya's overbearing behavior, and hearing the White Zetsu Clone's persuasion only made him more annoyed.

"That's good, that's good—"

The White Zetsu Clone grinned and disappeared back underground.

"It is—"

Uchiha narrowed his eyes, feeling curious about the White Zetsu Clone's abilities, since he couldn't even sense its movements.

"Just an idiot."

The Mysterious Masked Man bluntly commented on the intelligence of the White Zetsu Clone. "Its main purpose is to gather intelligence for my organization."

"It sounds like this is no longer your organization."

Remembering the White Zetsu Clone's words, Itachi Uchiha seized the opportunity to sow discord between the Mysterious Masked Man and Shirou Emiya: "Would they really agree to my joining? I remember that Lord Shirou is a great medical ninja who has always taken it upon himself to relieve the suffering of the world. It's unlikely that he would like ninjas like us who are stained with blood, right?"

"Snort-·

"There's no need to say that."

"He also wouldn't have time to deal with the Akatsuki."

The Mysterious Masked Man recalled the story he had learned from Madara Uchiha and said in a cold voice, "It might be the same as when he was first resurrected in this world. He's traveling around the Shinobi World healing the sick, saving lives, and quelling wars, while we're secretly carrying out the second Peace Plan."

But·

Eventually, things changed.

At least the Mysterious Masked Man knew that there would definitely be people within Akatsuki who would be more willing to obey Shirou Emiya's orders, because it was in Shirou Emiya's name that he was able to completely persuade Nagato and Konan.

"A second Peace Plan?"

Itachi Uchiha began to feel curious about this matter again.

Obito Uchiha seemed exceptionally tolerant of Itachi Uchiha, a member of the same clan, and casually recounted the secrets of the First Shinobi World War.

"Good."

"Shirou Emiya also realized that the war in the Shinobi World could not be changed. He also prepared a second plan that could bring peace to the Shinobi World, but he chose not to implement it, believing that the second plan was the path that humanity would only choose in the worst-case scenario."

"Now·-"

"This great figure who has been resurrected should also realize that the world is already bad enough."

A new world needs to be built.

Itachi Uchiha's heart suddenly began to pound violently.

This is truly unexpected!

He had only just joined the organization, or even before he had officially joined, yet he had already obtained so much intelligence—enough to shock the entire Shinobi World!

"Snort-"

"We can only blame that Second Hokage of Konoha— "

"If it weren't for the Second, the Uchiha Clan wouldn't have been wiped out; if it weren't for the Second developing the Impure World Impure World Reincarnation, a forbidden technique that desecrates the soul, we wouldn't have obtained the second Peace Plan that could change the world."

The Mysterious Masked Man mocked the Second Hokage of Konoha as he quickly led Itachi Uchiha to their meeting place, saying, "I don't like these old fogies who died long ago getting involved, because this world no longer needs them."

However, what the Mysterious Masked Man didn't expect was that the person the world truly didn't need seemed to be himself.

Before the Mysterious Masked Man and Itachi Uchiha could actually see Shirou Emiya, their path was blocked by Zetsu's figure.

Black Zetsu, who had always been quite lenient with him in the past, looked at him with displeasure and even questioned the matter of Itachi Uchiha that he had brought with him.

"We just captured a Konoha spy."

Black Zetsu glanced at the Mysterious Masked Man, a sinister smile creeping across his lips, then looked at Itachi Uchiha: "Can you guarantee he's not a spy sent by Konoha?"

The Mysterious Masked Man's heart skipped a beat.

Because he couldn't guarantee anything about this, and was even planning to find another person to be Itachi Uchiha's teammate so that the teammate could monitor the Uchiha's actions Itachi Uchiha's heart tightened.

Because he really was a spy for Konoha!

Does the Akatsuki have another method for detecting spies?

And which Konoha spy was captured by the Akatsuki?
