Ch. 161I'm not your scapegoat
Satoru reunited Itachi with Shisui and revealed that Shisui had helped fake the Uchiha Clan's relocation. Itachi said he could not stay because he could not forgive the choice he had made, leaving Shisui to find a way to reach him.
- Satoru opened the coffin and revealed Itachi, who was stunned to see Shisui alive.
- Satoru told Itachi that Shisui had used genjutsu to help the Uchiha Clan escape surveillance during the relocation.
- Itachi realized Shisui and Satoru had concealed the plan from him, but said he was only disappointed that they had not trusted him.
- Satoru blamed Shisui for organizing the plan, then teased him about their old drinking days as Itachi listened with a faint smile.
- Itachi said he did not intend to stay because he could not forgive himself for choosing Konoha over the Uchiha, even though the massacre had been genjutsu.
- Satoru left Shisui to handle the situation, and Shisui was bewildered about how to help Itachi.
