Danzo: Uchiha, Hyuga, Uzumaki, who else is there?

Wood Release?!

Idasuke, Karin, and the others also noticed that Star Country squad with its distinctive presence.

Idasuke nodded to Kakashi and said with a hint of apology, "Looks like our team leader's here. We need to go meet up first. See you in Konoha."

"Mm. See you at the exam," Kakashi replied with a nod.

Idasuke's team quickly walked toward the Star Country group, exchanged a few quiet words with the man leading them, Shisui Uchiha, then silently fell in at the rear and headed with them toward the registration area at the village entrance.

Their addition only made the already eye-catching Star Country squad stand out even more.

Naruto, meanwhile, widened his eyes and stared curiously at the red-and-white fan crest on Shisui's back. The more he looked at it, the more familiar it seemed. He frowned, ransacking his memory as he muttered, "That pattern... I feel like I've seen it somewhere... It's so familiar..."

Just then, after briefly giving a few instructions to his companions, Shisui Uchiha actually turned of his own accord and walked toward Kakashi.

A gentle smile rested on his face, and his steps were unhurried, as if he had merely come to see an old friend after a long separation.

"Senior Kakashi, long time no see." Shisui stopped in front of Kakashi and greeted him calmly. The scarlet Three-Tomoe Sharingan in his eyes also lost their sharpness, returning to ordinary black pupils, making him seem sincere and friendly.

Kakashi's single lazy dead-fish eye studied Shisui, especially the Hoshinin Headband on his forehead, so utterly different from a Konoha forehead protector.

After two seconds of silence, Kakashi slowly spoke. "Yeah, it really has been a long time. I didn't expect the team leader the Star Country sent this time would be you... Shisui Uchiha."
