Although Shizuka Uchiha knew Itachi was far stronger than Danzo, Danzo was full of cunning schemes, and she still worried. Shisui Uchiha was the perfect example. He had been far stronger than Danzo, yet hadn't Danzo stolen his eye and nearly killed him in the end? So when Shizuka fought Danzo's two guards, she showed no mercy whatsoever.

Itachi replied,
