60 Chapter 60
What Akatsuki is, Hiruzen Sarutobi and his 'F4' don't know and don't care, what they are really concerned about is the Uchiha.
The sudden defection of Uchiha Shisui, the alienation of Uchiha Itachi by his clan, and the mysterious circumstances surrounding the Uchiha clan meeting.
All of this gives them reason to suspect whether the Uchiha clan is really planning something.
But whether it's true or not, as long as the Uchiha don't make the first move, they absolutely cannot 'strike first'. This is too passive for them.
Fortunately, Uchiha Itachi is now a squad leader in Anbu, and he has been assigned to Danzo Shimura for 'special reasons'.
His two teammates are from Root, so there are some things he needs to report to Danzo, and some things he only needs to report to Danzo.
And Danzo can directly issue orders to Uchiha Itachi, which makes a lot of things easier.
For example, some special tasks can be issued by Danzo, and these tasks won't go through the Hokage, nor will they be recorded by Anbu.
Therefore, in some extremely specific situations, the value of Uchiha Itachi is fully realized.
Because he is a member of the Uchiha clan, and because he stands firmly on the side of the Hokage!
Moreover, they have decided to wait a while before taking action, having just revoked Uchiha Itachi's right to attend clan meetings, so the Uchiha are definitely on their guard.
Besides, the Uchiha are not fools, they will certainly take precautionary measures, waiting until they become complacent will be the best opportunity.
What the 'F4' of Konoha is thinking, Kaito doesn't know.
Even what Uchiha Itachi has done, Kaito's understanding is limited.
Even if he asked Shisui to find a way to follow Uchiha Itachi, the information he got wasn't much.
After all, being a holder of Mangekyou Sharingan and a member of Anbu, Uchiha Itachi's ability to counter surveillance is extremely strong.
Aside from knowing that the boy quietly went to see Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others, Kaito really isn't clear about anything else.
"But this boy going to see Hiruzen Sarutobi is unlikely to be good news, so necessary caution is still needed, after all, this guy has the Mangekyou Sharingan.
As long as we keep an eye on this boy, it will be fine. If the Uchiha don't take action, Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn't dare to act aggressively, Uchiha Itachi is the most troublesome."
Kaito walks down the street, pondering in his mind, heading towards the training field.
These days he's been engrossed in training, and the clan has also sent quite a few elite ninjas to train with him.
In fact, for Kaito, his best training partner is naturally Shisui, but the problem is Shisui is currently monitoring every move of Uchiha Itachi.
Even if Shisui can't get any information, even if he's noticed by Uchiha Itachi, this is something that has to be done.
Just as Uchiha Itachi revealed the Mangekyou Sharingan to Shisui, Kaito knew that the boy's Mangekyou Sharingan couldn't pose any threat to Shisui, but it still had a deterrent effect.
Uchiha Itachi showed off the Mangekyou Sharingan probably to intimidate them, telling them that he also has such power.
And the reason why Kaito had Shisui tail Uchiha Itachi was clear - to let Uchiha Itachi know, 'We are watching you, your every move is under our scrutiny.'
"Also, I remember that Uchiha Itachi seemed to have carried out a series of actions along with Uchiha Obito. So, has Uchiha Obito made any moves now?"
As for Uchiha Obito, Kaito is still on guard. Even if Kaito knows his weakness, the ability of space is indeed very troublesome.
The ones who seem to be able to deal with him are probably only the fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze who has already passed away, and Kakashi who has mastered the Mangekyou Sharingan in his later years, coordinating an attack with Naruto.
"However, Shisui is on my side. If necessary, I can have Shisui unleash Kotoamatsukami on Uchiha Obito. I refuse to believe he can resist it!"
Using Genjutsu to deal with Uchiha Obito is the best method Kaito can think of now, and the intimidation of Kotoamatsukami is extremely terrifying!
That kind of Genjutsu that subtly alters the will of others, Kaito believes there aren't many people in this world who can resist it.
Of course, Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan might not fear Kotoamatsukami, and those who possess the cells of Hashirama Senju might also be able to resist it.
Kaito habitually takes all possible factors into consideration. Although what he considers hasn't been confirmed, it doesn't prevent him from conjecturing.
And regardless of whether Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Obito are in contact now, this guy could potentially be Kaito's enemy in the future.
Thus, preparing early and listing him as a hypothetical enemy is nothing but the most logical course of action.
"Speaking of which, if I could extract some time-manipulating ability from that old man, I wouldn't need a big trick. Just the slowdown would be enough to have Obito dancing on the palm of my hand."
The power of time has always been one of the most terrifying powers.
To acquire such power in this world through normal means, Kaito could only hope for the explosion of the Mangekyou Sharingan.
Unfortunately, when Kaito's Mangekyou Sharingan was awakened through the system, all he could think about was 'getting the most potent power', and as a result, it ended up like this.
But through unconventional means, Kaito wasn't helpless, after all, he also has a system.
Shaking his head, Kaito was too lazy to ponder getting what he wanted through system draw. To be frank, this was too elusive.
Instead of thinking about these, it might be better to think about how Uchiha Madara would react to Obito's space-time ninjutsu.
After much thought, Kaito felt that Uchiha Madara's best move would probably be to activate Susanoo and wait for Obito to make a move.
Once Obito makes a move, Uchiha Madara would definitely burst out with unimaginable power in an instant, completely overturning Obito!
"After all, when it comes to the basic qualities of a ninja, I'm afraid there are not many who can match Uchiha Madara."
Having thought all of this through, Kaito felt that the most pressing matter at hand was to enhance his own strength.
Now, he could peruse all the books in the library, including those on forbidden techniques, from which he has learned quite a lot.
Both Izanagi and Izanami, he has memorized them. At the same time, he has also learned potent Fire Style techniques like Great Fire Annihilation End and Great Fireball Technique.
As reinforcement, he has supplemented Earth Style and Wind Style, which he obtained from Waterfowl Dance.
"Except for not having completed the transformation and quality change of Earth and Wind Styles, I can say that I have enhanced in all other areas.
Oh, Wind Style doesn't need it, Waterfowl Dance has given me the effect of quality change."
There is no need for Kaito to contemplate too much about the transformation and quality change of Earth and Wind Styles in this short month because there simply isn't enough time to accomplish that.
Instead of spending time on this, Kaito feels that it would be better to invest more time in Susanoo!
He already has a technique to reduce the difficulty of activating Susanoo and decrease its consumption, and he has read so many records of Uchiha history.
It can be said that his understanding of Susanoo has gained another level. Given this, it's only natural to spend more time on Susanoo.
"And my Susanoo color is the same as Uchiha Madara's. I wonder if my Susanoo can grow to the height of Uchiha Madara's."
Uchiha Madara's Susanoo is deep blue, and so is Kaito's, but now, Kaito can only activate Susanoo to the second stage at most.
It seems quite embarrassing, after all, whether compared to Uchiha Madara or Uchiha Sasuke, his Susanoo is not up to par.
But this is what he has achieved by using sparingly, and groping for only a couple of months. Considering this, his progress is quite good.
"Hm?" While walking, he suddenly noticed two familiar faces coming his way.
One was Nara Shikamaru, and the other was Nara Yaneko...
