"Once I wake him up, you need to talk him through things. Whatever you do, don't let him resolve his lingering regrets and fade away. If that happens, I won't be able to bring him back with Impure World Reincarnation again."
Hearing Naruto's words, Kisame thought of something.
"So that's why you asked me to film the current state of Uchiha New Village with a camera? But wouldn't that make Itachi even more ashamed to face them?"
"That's exactly why I'm giving you this mission. You could tell him..."
At Naruto's words, Kisame immediately grinned. "Right, we'll say Sasuke is pregnant, you're too busy, and Sasuke doesn't know how to look after a baby. Then I'll have him put on a disguise and become his niece's wet nurse?"
"Holy shit, how does your brain even work?"
Naruto stared at Kisame in shock. "You're even better at bullshitting than I am. But that really would get Itachi to give in."
"I accept this mission. I never thought I'd get to spend time with Itachi again. Thank you so much, Naruto."
Kisame looked at Itachi's reincarnated body and said, "Back then, I accepted a mission from the Masked Man and had no choice but to monitor Itachi's every move. Itachi was so clever, of course he knew. Ah, if I'd been honest with him back then, I think we would've been much more comfortable around each other."
"Oh? So you really value the bonds between friends, Kisame?"
"Heh... maybe?"
Hearing Kisame's bitter chuckle, Naruto didn't press him further and instead put away the White Coffin.
Then Naruto pulled out a kunai bearing a Purple Talisman and personally inserted it into the back of Itachi's head.
"Come back to life-my kid's aunt."
With that, Naruto instantly vanished using Flying Thunder God.
