Konoha: Change from Uchiha

"This is it. You will perform your mission here next."

Following the footsteps of captain Kakashi, Itachi came to a room deep in the ANBU. The moment he actually stepped into the room, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.

The walls of the room were covered with monitors, and the picture on the monitor was undoubtedly that of the Uchiha clan.

In the picture, there are not only patrolling security members, but also women and children in the family, all of whom are undoubtedly familiar faces to him.

Although he had long known about the village's surveillance of the clan, the number of monitors still exceeded his imagination. They were all ninjas in the village, so why were they monitored in this way?

And judging from the orders from the top, starting from today, he will also become a member of the Uchiha surveillance team.

For some reason, Danzo's face began to appear in his mind. The man who had lived in the darkness for a long time was one of the few ninjas he could not see through. He was even more terrifying than the Third Hokage.

Itachi's surprise was seen by Kakashi. He also didn't understand the intentions of the higher-ups, but he still patted Itachi on the shoulder.

"The senior officials of the village suspected that the Nine-Tails incident was related to Uchiha, so they conducted 24-hour surveillance. After all, no one wants the Nine-Tails incident to happen again..."

"I will carry out my mission well, even if it is to monitor my compatriots." Itachi interrupted Kakashi's explanation.

Although he was quite dissatisfied with the high-level surveillance of Uchiha, it was an indisputable fact that it was the Sharingan that controlled the Nine-Tails in the Nine-Tails incident, and only the Sharingan could control the Nine-Tails so easily.

As a person who had personally experienced that disaster, Itachi knew very well how much pain the Nine-Tails Incident had brought to the village.

The security force led by my father did not mobilize during the disaster and chose to stay behind closed doors, which caused serious dissatisfaction among the villagers.

After hearing Itachi's words, the ANBU on the seat turned his head and said coldly:

"Compatriots are compatriots, and missions are missions. Your tribe used the Sharingan to release the Nine-Tails. This is an irrefutable fact. Just perform the mission well, you newbie."

"Don't bring personal emotions into the task."

Kakashi glared hard at the ANBU ninja.

"I know I was wrong, I'm sorry." Anbu's face changed slightly, and then he left the room and said, "Then I will teach you the surveillance task, the new member of Anbu."

After the ANBU left, Kakashi explained to Itachi: "His sister died on the night of the Nine-Tails, so he has a problem with Uchiha."

"I understand," Itachi said without any extra expression on his face, and then added: "I won't mention anything in this room to my tribe, so please don't worry."

Of course, what Itachi said about you was not just Kakashi alone, but also the senior officials who issued the mission.

Although the clan members had some speculation about the surveillance of the village, if he told it, it would probably cause violent turmoil between the village and the clan, and perhaps even brew an armed conflict.

A few hours later, Kakashi left the room.

Itachi and another ANBU ninja silently performed the task of monitoring the Uchiha clan.

Just as they were monitoring the Uchiha clan, the ninja named 'Hiryu' next to them was sent by Danzo to protect his own root ninja.

I will not completely believe what Danzo says, and Danzo will not truly trust him.

The unchanging picture on the monitor will always make people a little boring. Itachi will not really monitor every move of his clan members, but he will also start to switch pictures boringly.

Although these monitors near the clan building monitored most of the clan lands in the city, some were still missed.

Although he has always heard about the special team that his father has formed within the clan these days, he has never really seen it. He also has no idea about the composition of the internal members. Their training location is probably outside the scope of the monitor.

Also in a blind spot is the gathering place of the clan, Nanga Shrine.

The barrier covered near Nanga Shrine can isolate surveillance and is also one of the few blind spots for surveillance.

At this moment, Itachi noticed a slight jitter on the screen, which ordinary people would never notice. After slowing down the playback speed ten times, Itachi finally saw the strangeness on the screen clearly.

It was a figure wearing a mask, and through the hole in the mask, a scarlet eye could barely be seen.

That eye was exactly the same as the one he met with the mysterious man during the mission a few years ago. He entered the Nanga Shrine in the clan.

What is the purpose of the other party entering Nanga Shrine? Why does he have a Sharingan? Is he the culprit of the Nine-Tails incident?Questions appeared in Itachi's mind.

But Itachi's fingers did not stop, switching the screen to other areas, pretending that nothing happened.

Although he suspected that the other party was the culprit of the Nine-Tails incident, he did not intend to reveal the other party's existence to his family and the village. The other party was obviously a ninja who had mastered the ability of time and space. As long as he wanted to escape, no one could stay.

And under such circumstances, rashly exposing the other party's existence will only aggravate the suspicion of the village and family.

Let things develop in an irreversible direction.

……

A few months have passed since he joined ANBU.

In addition to surveillance and escort tasks, he also participated in several small-scale exercises. The calmness made Itachi a little uncomfortable.

"If ANBU always carries out assassination missions, the village will not be peaceful. Our peaceful life just proves that the village is at peace."

Seemingly reading Itachi's thoughts, Kakashi expressed this emotion.

While getting along, Itachi also gained a new perspective on his boss, who became a jounin at the age of 12. He was not a ninja who believed that tasks were more important than his companions as rumored. On the contrary, he cared about his companions very much and believed that his companions were as important as the tasks.

However, Kakashi was able to express such emotion because the village was still in a stable state.

But he knew that the village and the clan had long been at odds with each other. On the one hand, they were monitoring the Uchiha clan's movements and suppressing and ostracizing them. On the other hand, they secretly formed an action team to wait for an opportunity to carry out an armed coup.

He and Shisui, who had the same idea, wanted to know the specific content to stop it, but they couldn't even attend the meeting.

Discussions in current clan meetings are all about trivial matters, and they cannot participate in core meetings.

"If you want to know the clan's plan, just exchange it for ANBU's information."

These were his father's exact words. His father and the jounin of the clan no longer trusted him and Shisui, but Itachi became more and more certain about the speculation that the clan was about to launch an armed coup.

Without the help of himself who joined ANBU and Brother Shisui who had awakened the Mangekyou, the clan coup would not have been successful.

There is a large power gap between the clan and the top management. Even if the coup succeeds by chance, the village will be riddled with holes.

This was the consensus between him and Brother Zhisui, but the sudden appearance of the special team made him a little uncertain. After all, he heard rumors from some ninjas in the clan that his father seemed to have mastered the method of utilizing natural energy.

This is definitely not good news.
