Chapter 964 Itachi's Conjecture

"Captain Kakashi, does that mean... we should increase our surveillance of the Uchiha clan? But this will easily arouse their resentment, and it would be bad if the conflict is intensified." Tianzang said worriedly.

Kakashi rubbed his hair, his eyes solemn: "Now we can only act cautiously, keeping a close eye on it, but not alerting the enemy. I will go to the vicinity of Nanga Shrine to check it out myself, maybe I can find some clues."

Tenzang hesitated: "Captain Kakashi, this is too dangerous. Kakashi patted Tenzang on the shoulder with a confident smile on his face, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. If you don't even dare to take this risk, how can you solve the crisis at hand?" Tenzang knew that he couldn't persuade Kakashi, so he had to nod silently.

After Kakashi arrived near the Nanga Shrine, he hid his body and carefully explored the surroundings. Suddenly, he saw a young Uchiha standing alone under a tree, his eyes revealing complex emotions, both unwilling and helpless. Kakashi's heart moved, and when he was about to get closer to observe more details, a hand was placed on his shoulder. Kakashi instantly became alert and turned around to prepare for a fight, but found that it was Might Guy. Might Guy lowered his voice and said, "Kakashi, this is not a place to set foot casually." Kakashi responded softly, "I know there is danger, but I have to figure out something." While the two were talking, the Uchiha boy in the distance seemed to notice something strange and quickly disappeared into the darkness. Kakashi and Might Guy looked at each other and decided to leave this place first before making plans. If you are discovered by the Uchiha clan, I'm afraid you will cause big trouble with your identity. "

Kakashi smiled slightly: "Don't worry, my hiding skills are pretty good. And this matter is related to the safety of the village, it must be figured out." After that, Kakashi left quietly.

When Kakashi approached the Nanga Shrine, he felt a mysterious and powerful force. Hiding in the dark, he saw a figure flash past and enter the depths of the shrine. Kakashi was startled and secretly decided to follow to see what was going on.

After Kakashi and Might Guy left the Nanga Shrine, they found a hidden place to talk. Might Guy frowned and said, "Kakashi, the Uchiha boy looked very strange today. I feel something big is going to happen." Kakashi nodded, "Yeah, I think so too. That mysterious power must be related to the Uchiha clan." At this time, Tenzo came to meet, "Captain Kakashi, it's great that you are all okay. I just got news that other families in the village have also noticed the recent abnormal behavior of the Uchiha clan, and everyone is panicking." Kakashi pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that we have to report this to the Hokage as soon as possible. It will be difficult for us to deal with the upcoming changes alone." So the three of them rushed to the Hokage's office. On the way, Kakashi kept thinking about the various signs he had seen before, trying to find the connection between them. And Might Guy was always alert to prevent someone from attacking secretly. After arriving at the Hokage's office, Kakashi reported everything he saw and heard. The Hokage said with a serious expression, "This matter must be treated with caution. You go back and wait. I will call the top leaders to discuss countermeasures." Kakashi and others took the order and withdrew. They knew that a storm surrounding the Uchiha clan was coming. After Kakashi and others returned to their residence, they did not really rest, but secretly conducted investigations. Kakashi sneaked into the vicinity of the Uchiha clan again and used the insight of the Sharingan to find clues. Might Guy visited the village everywhere, hoping to obtain useful information from the villagers. Tenzo was responsible for monitoring the movements of various forces.

A few days later, the Hokage summoned Kakashi and others. It turned out that after discussion, the top leaders decided to send a special team to conduct an in-depth investigation into the Uchiha clan. Kakashi volunteered to be the captain, and the team members included Might Guy, Tenzo, and the new female ninja Yuhi Kurenai. Before leaving, Kakashi told everyone to be careful. After entering the Uchiha clan, they tried to keep a low profile and sneak. But the Uchiha clan's keen perception still made them notice something strange. Just when the atmosphere was tense, Itachi appeared. He looked at the team led by Kakashi with a calm look in his eyes: "You coming in so blatantly will only make the situation worse." Kakashi stepped forward: "Itachi, we have no intention of provoking a dispute, we just want to find a peaceful solution." Itachi was silent for a while: "Come with me." Itachi took them to a secret room where some ancient books of the Uchiha family were stored. Itachi spoke slowly: "There are indeed some people in the family who are trying to rebel, but there are also many people who are not willing to go that far. They are just afraid that the family will be marginalized and oppressed." Kakashi carefully flipped through the classics, frowning: "Then is there any way to appease the emotions of these people and curb the ambitions of those rebels?" Itachi shook his head: "It's difficult. The conflicts in the family have a long history and the resentment is too deep." At this time, Kurenai Yuhi suddenly said: "Perhaps we can start with the younger generation, give them more development opportunities and trust, and let them see the tolerance of the village." Itachi was slightly stunned, as if thinking about the feasibility of this proposal. Might Guy also followed up: "Yes, youth is full of infinite possibilities. As long as we give young people hope, they can lead the attitude change of the entire family." Tenzo nodded in agreement. Kakashi looked at Itachi: "Itachi, what do you think? You have a certain influence in the family. If you can take the lead in advocating this concept, there may be a turning point." Itachi was silent for a long time, and slowly said: "I can try, but I can't guarantee the result." At this time, there was a sudden noise outside, as if the Uchiha clan had discovered their traces. Itachi's expression was stern: "Not good, we have to think of an excuse quickly." Everyone immediately became nervous and prepared for emergencies. Step, if Konoha can give a certain amount of trust and tolerance, there may be a chance. "Kakashi nodded thoughtfully. At this time, there was a sudden noise outside, as if the Uchiha radicals discovered their presence. The team members immediately became alert, and a conflict seemed inevitable. Zang and Uchiha Itachi.

On the night of the operation, they sneaked into the Uchiha clan. However, the Uchiha clan had been prepared and set many traps. Just when they were in trouble, Uchiha Itachi stepped forward and used his familiarity with the clan environment to lead everyone to avoid dangerous areas and found key evidence - a plan for rebellion. But there seemed to be a bigger conspiracy behind this plan. Just when they wanted to explore further, they were suddenly attacked by a group of unidentified ninjas, and a fierce battle began.
