ANBU is the dividing line between elite ninjas and ordinary teams. Each member of ANBU is the elite of Konoha. Whether on the battlefield or behind enemy lines, ANBU can be regarded as the backbone of a ninja village.
The threshold for Konoha Anbu is very high, how high is it?
Metkai couldn't get any connections even if he was looking for a backdoor supporter... His fiery enthusiasm is really not suitable for staying in ANBU.
It can also be thought that Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura are more afraid of the youth club's contagious growth of members...
The Uchiha clan is even less likely to enter the ANBU.
Since the founding of the village, among Uchiha's huge ninja base, only one Uchiha Kagami has been accepted as a disciple by Senju Tobirama, and has been allowed to enter the Anbu and Hokage escorts.
Currently, the only one who has the possibility of entering ANBU is Uchiha Shisui, Kagami's descendant... Moreover, Shisui's entry into the ANBU was temporarily postponed by Hiruzen Sarutobi because of an attack on ANBU caused by a certain crow.
After all, this incident was due to Shisui preventing Kakashi from killing the crow, which resulted in the conflicts among the top management of Konoha being exposed in front of the Uchiha clan leader, forcing Sarutobi Hiruzen to make concessions to Fugaku.
Originally, the Uchiha clan and the Konoha police force could have been packed up and thrown into the corner of Konoha. In order to keep Fugaku secret, the Third Hokage could only allow the police force to remain as it was.
In fact, Uchiha Shisui's actions will soon be confirmed. He is completely benevolent to Kakashi and even the entire Konoha...
"Dad, is it really important to the Uchiha clan that Shisui can activate the Mangekyō Sharingan?"
Itachi Uchiha vowed that he would definitely be able to enter the Anbu. After the brief tenderness between father and son, the topic inevitably returned to the original point.
"The Mangekyō Sharingan is the most powerful pupil technique in the ninja world..." Fugaku nodded, and then he shook his head and said: "But... even if there is an extra pair of Mangekyō, it is difficult to say that it can change the current situation."
"That's not possible either..."
"Itachi, I was just like you once..."
Fugaku interrupted his son's words and looked towards the night: "If the tribe needs to use this method to exchange for power...for survival...it is better to slowly die in history..."
"dad…"
"Well, the situation is not that serious yet..." Fugaku comforted his son softly: "And the Mangekyou Sharingan has big flaws, I will stop them."
"Don't worry, I'm not that confused yet... Besides, Shisui is also a friend of our own family..."
"Anyway, Itachi, grow up into a real man quickly! When that time comes, dad will support all your ideas!"
The old father still had something to say. All the Mangekyō Sharingan in the Warring States Period were obtained when he killed his friends...
He also did not mention to Itachi the bad blood between the Konoha senior officials and the Uchiha clan. Those who had tried to change the Uchiha clan had already been crushed by the Konoha senior officials and thousands of clan members...
When every clan member looked at him with hope, and when those high-ranking officials in Konoha looked at him with uneasiness and hostility, the pressure on Fugaku gradually increased...
He does not have enough determination to change the current situation, and can only hope that his son can change everything now.
A father who needs to hope that his son will succeed, but faces his dream of a genius son, has a loving father's heart.
The barrier between father and son disappeared again unconsciously...
late at night.
Itachi Uchiha tossed and turned and couldn't close his eyes. The worried little boy looked at the crow sleeping in a very strange sleeping posture with its wings spread out, thinking about a question...
In a season like summer, crows aren’t particularly sleepy, right?
A pair of small hands stretched out and pushed the crow's body: "Beiyuan... wake up... Beiyuan..."
"...Gah..."
Kitahara opened his eyes in confusion, and saw Itachi Uchiha looking at him eagerly...Baby, when did you become ignorant?
Seeing the crow waking up, the little boy's eyes became a little innocent: "I can't sleep..."
Kitahara: "Gah..."
You can't sleep...I can sleep! This is a habit of keeping vigil in the wild, but you can't get used to it when you go home?
"Kitahara, how long will it take for me to join ANBU..."
"Shisui said that he would join the ANBU, but it has been two years now... I heard that he is still in the ninja team in the village..."
"Tonight, I felt that my father was hiding a lot of things, just like the ANBU he met, but he promised me that he would not tell me everything until I joined the ANBU..."
Uchiha Itachi seemed to have returned to the time when they first met, talking non-stop to the crow whenever he had something on his mind.
The unreliable crow once taught him a lot of ninjutsu, and also taught him not to keep things in his heart.
The crow will also tell him many useless things intermittently, such as sleeping in the cage is the happiest thing in the world, staying in bed is the most loving thing in the world, taking a nap is the most important thing in the world...
"...Gah..."
Kitahara squinted his eyes, helplessly revealing the truth... Even if he joined ANBU, nothing would change.
It understood Uchiha Itachi's desire to share Fugaku's pressure, but the facts proved that the old father's problem was a dead end.
unless…
The crimson eyes suddenly lit up. Beihara seemed to have thought of something and stared blankly into Uchiha Itachi's eyes.
"Gah!"
Baby, become Hokage! Become the first Hokage in Uchiha! A ninja who doesn't want to be Hokage is not a real ninja.
People have to have dreams... maybe they will come true!
"...Kitahara..." Uchiha Itachi's face gradually darkened: "I just want to know what dad is hiding...At my age, no matter how you look at it, I am still far away from becoming Hokage!"
"Didn't the Immortal of Mt. Myoboku say that you can know all the secrets of the ninja world? Kitahara, tell me first..."
"Gah..."
Crow shook his head desperately and refused. He talked endlessly about those stupid things, and he couldn't finish them even at dawn... When Shisui returns to the village, wouldn't you just ask him?
What's more, those so-called truths that Shisui has been talking about are what Zaizi really wants to understand now. The black information is too shocking, and I'm afraid it will shock Zaizi...
After all, the village chief of Konoha can be Itachi's next effort... He can't shoot down the map and say that the ninja world is weak and everything that happens now is just... playing house?
Uchiha Itachi was a little depressed. He recalled some of his friends' actions: "Wait until Shisui comes back..."
"Gah..."
Crow nodded, turned over and closed his eyes... In fact, there are still many things unresolved. With Itachi's age and strength, sooner or later he will become the target of everyone's wooing.
Whether it is the arrogant and depraved Uchiha clan, Danzo Shimura who is far away in the Land of Grass, or even the third generation of Hokages in the Hokage Tower, they will all become obstacles in the way of the little boy's growth.
In the end, there will be a solution, so let’s deal with the Uchiha first... As a Great Immortal, we need some crows to follow...
As for Danzo, when he comes back, he will find that there are still many scapegoats waiting for him in the village...
