When Itachi told Kakashi that the "Akatsuki" headquarters was in the Land of Rain, Kakashi was quite surprised.
Because the Ame Hidden Village is ruled by Hanzo, a Sanshouyu who is worth several Kage levels, it is hard to imagine that he would tolerate the "Akatsuki" in the country.
But this explained some things. After taking over the position of Hokage, he knew that Hanzo and Danzo had a good relationship, but they had not contacted each other for a long time. Moreover, the ninja sent to send the exam invitation letter to Amegakure Village found that there was more xenophobia there than
It was even more serious in the past, and Hanzo was not able to be seen. It was obvious that the village was hiding something. The subsequent infiltration activities also failed.
Kakashi asked: "Well, Jiraiya-sama told me not long ago that Akatsuki might be in the Land of Snow. What do you think?"
Itachi added: "The leader of 'Akatsuki' originally wanted to help Princess Koyuki Kazuka of Snow Country come to power and set up a false headquarters there to confuse us, but I have a sister who is not qualified as a ninja in 'Akatsuki'."
Kakashi: "Did Tsukune tell you?"
Itachi: "No, she proposed the benefits of commissioning a movie in an almost joking tone at that meeting, and the leader accepted it. The above is the idea I inferred from a series of fragmentary words."
Kakashi: "...Anyway, I received your information. I'm sorry, Itachi, the village owes you a lot."
Itachi was silent for a while, shook his head and said: "No, I am just trying to atone for my original sins. Lord Sixth Hokage, although I thank you for not asking directly, the truth that Sister Aoi confessed to you, although there is
She concealed it, but what she said is true. This time, I came to say goodbye to you."
Kakashi: "Do you want to make atonement? Or -"
Itachi: "The fund-raising stage of 'Akatsuki' is coming to an end, so Sister Aoi has lost her necessary value, and her casual tone is a hidden danger, so the leader agreed to my request to 'revenge' Sister Aoi. After leaving this time, I
I will kill her."
Of course, this was just a superficial statement. Itachi didn't think that Payne would prompt him to meet Himawari for that reason. He was well aware of the situation, but of course he had to take advantage of the situation.
As for where he got his confidence after being completely defeated once, there was another secret that had nothing to do with the mission, so he didn't say more.
Kakashi's face under the mask was gloomy: "...then you plan to let Sasuke know the 'truth' of genocide and let him kill you, so that the more desperate truth under the 'truth' can be buried forever, right?"
Itachi was silent for a moment.
He was determined to die. As a qualified undercover actor, he was confident that he could maintain his current identity until his death and hide all his secrets. But the premise was that there was no love for others. After he was defeated that night, all the major premise was gone.
Already.
In the past few years, he has seen clearly that more social systems bring tragedies to ordinary people and ninjas, and his ideals have been destroyed in his own hands after taking the step of exterminating the clan. He also tried to make assumptions and helped his father propose
Bloodless Revolution, helping Orochimaru to ascend to power, what is Konoha like now? If it can overcome the difficulties of Fu Nei An Wai, Konoha will probably become a village with advanced technology and strength. Of course, some scientific research must be ignored
The ethical and humane issues arising from the conflict. If it weren't for the alienation between him and his tribe, his father would still support him to become the next Hokage. By then...it's a pity that without the ability to turn back time, he would never have the chance.
Well, at least dying as a ninja will be more meaningful.
Due to the lax behavior of some people, Itachi had to seek help from Kakashi, who stood at the pinnacle of power in Konoha Village and was once his respected senior, to help cover him.
Kakashi knew that Itachi acquiesced, and also knew that he wanted to entrust his affairs. He understood the truth, even if there were some things that he couldn't accept from a conscience point of view.
Without any more words, Itachi turned into a crow and disappeared after meeting Kakashi.
"Is it really a clone?" Kakashi sighed inwardly. If he could do it, he really wanted to find a way to have a better outcome for everyone. Of course, he was not naive enough to believe that it could really be done.

The Uchiha clan naturally did not live in that place before the establishment of Konoha Village, so of course there were strongholds of other clans.
In this era, it might be more appropriate to call it a relic.
In a domed building like a large church, Himawari sat in a very ladylike posture on an old stone chair that took a few seconds to clean, and looked at Itachi who was standing at the door motionlessly.
On one side of the wall, a half-black and half-white Juezheng looked with half of his head exposed.
Bai Zetsu was very confused: "Although we revealed the actual situation of Itachi's 'rebellion to Konoha' to Nagato and prompted them to come here for a duel, when will this be done?"
Hei Jue said: "This is a competition of illusions."
Itachi and Himawari were indeed fighting against genjutsu, but they did not fight in the genjutsu right away. The genjutsu space was the same room as here, and there was nothing mentally damaging. It would be better to say that Himawari was still drinking tea leisurely.
say.
Sunflower leaned on the stone chair with her legs crossed, leaning on the armrest with one hand to support her face, and holding a tea cup in the other hand. While drinking, she said: "My stupid brother, can't you not see that this is what the leader ordered?"
I'm here to kill your plan? You really dare to come. Do you think that if Danzo dies, I will still join forces with you to deal with "Akatsuki" as he said? Even assuming that I might lose, you know, now Sasuke
I have already ran away from Uncle Snake to find you. Even if I lose by luck, you will not be much better. You will definitely be killed by Sasuke. Sasuke who knows the truth will definitely take revenge on the Leaf Village later.
"
Itachi still looked cold and cold: "Sister Kui's imagination is still so rich."
Sunflower: "I don't remember showing any imagination to you."
Itachi: "Whether it makes me who I am now by making random nonsense about my training; or whether I use [Huangliang Yimu] to put people to sleep with [Huangliang Yimu] that can obviously make a big plan in the ninja world, it requires a lot of imagination."
Sunflower chewed the teacup unhappily and said, "Are you calling me a fool?"
Itachi closed his eyes for a moment: "I didn't say that. It's just, how far can your eyes see?"
"Hehe, about two kilometers? Compared to this, Itachi, how nearsighted are your eyes? You and I are so close, but you can't even see my face clearly? After all, you don't have the means to maintain the power of the kaleidoscope.
.”
Although he once exchanged a bottle of recovery medicine for a pair of Otsutsuki's golden eyes, the medicine had no effect in curing illness or disability.
Although Itachi remained calm, he was still stunned for a moment before speaking: "Well, yes, Sister Kui is such a person."
