After asking the question, Shizune lowered her head, not daring to look Kakashi in the eye.

"Of course."

"Goodbye then."

"Goodbye."

After saying goodbye to each other, Kakashi also headed home.

"Come out!"

Kakashi suddenly stopped and spoke to a certain spot.

Sakumo Hatake was shocked. Kakashi actually knew his location. He knew that he was well hidden, and even ordinary Kage-level fighters wouldn't be able to detect him.

Sakumo Hatake was unaware that Kakashi's strength had undergone a dramatic transformation after three days of cell fusion, to the point that even the slightest movement could be detected.

"If you don't come out soon, I'm going to take action."

He didn't sense any murderous intent from the other person; the other person simply wanted to follow him.

Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Sakumo Hatake revealed himself.

"Father, it's you!"

Kakashi was surprised to see that the person who came was his father.

"Would you believe me if I said I got lost after going out?"

Sakumo Hatake said somewhat awkwardly.

"Father, do you think I'd believe that excuse? Isn't Carrot here too?"

Kakashi asked.

"No, it's just me."

Seeing that Sakumo Hatake didn't seem to be lying, Kakashi believed him.

"Isn't this completely unnecessary, Father?"

"How can it not be unnecessary? You two brothers are both of marriageable age and neither of you is married. The Hatake family line is about to end. How can I not care?"

"I just came to see if you had any chance of winning the heart of your sweetheart. But your performance completely surprised me."

"If you could just show a little bit of your talent in cultivation, I wouldn't be so anxious and stressed."

Sakumo Hatake gave Kakashi a good scolding, and given Kakashi's performance, he didn't continue the conversation for the rest of the time, unaware that Kakashi and Shizune were having a good chat.

“Father, since my brother and I are no longer capable of shouldering great responsibilities, why don’t you marry another woman?”

Wow, Kakashi knows how to distract himself.

"How could you say such a thing? You expect our father to be so old and still have to work hard to continue the family line?"

Sakumo Hatake was utterly shocked. He hadn't expected Kakashi to come up with such a method.

Sakumo Hatake immediately gave Kakashi a big beating, letting him know the authority of the head of the family.

"I am back."

As soon as Kakashi opened the door, he searched the house for Carrot, determined to find the culprit who had dragged him into this mess.

Seeing Kakashi running around the house, Sakumo Hatake spoke up.

"No need to look anymore, your brother has moved out."

"What? Damn it, that bastard made a mess of things and then ran away."

Kakashi felt a sense of powerlessness, like punching cotton. He couldn't swallow the anger, nor could he spit it out.

"Isn't this normal? He's not stupid. Does he expect you to come back and scold him?"

Sakumo Hatake seized the opportunity to deliver the finishing blow, making Kakashi even more miserable.

"Achoo!"

"Who is cursing me behind my back?"

Carrot, who was resting in his room, suddenly sneezed and said...

"Senior, are you asleep?"

The sound of still water came from outside the door.

"Come in if you need anything! You're still awake."

Zhi Shui opened the door to the room and went inside.

"Senior, I've brought Itachi with me. Would it be convenient for you to see him now?"

"Let him in! We'll have to see him eventually anyway."

Last time, Carrot promised Shisui that he would meet Itachi, but he didn't expect Shisui to arrange it so quickly.

"Greetings, Lord Carrot."

As soon as Itachi entered, he knelt on one knee in front of Carrot.

"There's no need for that. I'm not used to people kneeling in front of me."

After seeing Shisui's signal, Itachi followed Shisui's example and sat down in front of Carrot.

"Itachi, is there something you want to see me about?"

Carrot would not underestimate someone who had begun to ponder the meaning of life at such a young age.

"Lord Carrot, I wish to join you."

"Ok?"

Carrot looked completely puzzled.

"Didn't your father stake the Uchiha clan on Minato-senpai? Are you going to go against his will, Itachi?"

Carrot was very puzzled. Logically speaking, Minato had no hostility towards the Uchiha clan and was able to balance the conflicts between the Uchiha clan and the village.

"Indeed, it is in the best interests of the Uchiha clan for Lord Minato to become Hokage."

"But it's different with you. After Minato-senpai takes power, he will definitely suppress the major clans to create a balance, but you and Lord Orochimaru are different. Because you have enough strength to suppress all the clans. The stronger the clans are, the happier you will be."

"Did Shisui tell you?"

"This is something I came up with myself."

"Everyone underestimates you, Itachi. You see further than many others. Now tell me what Orochimaru and I are planning to do this."

Carrot also had the idea of ​​taking the opportunity to test Uchiha Itachi.

Chapter 101 Itachi's Defection

"You will bring about an unprecedented upheaval in the ninja world, accomplish the feat that the First Hokage could not achieve, and unify the ninja world."

Itachi Uchiha shared his speculation.

"You really think highly of us, Itachi."

"I'm just stating a fact. With your strength and Lord Orochimaru's intellect, you're fully capable of accomplishing this."

"Only by joining your Uchiha clan can you develop better and not be afraid of being too strong. The sharper the Uchiha blade, the more you will like it."

Suddenly, an extremely powerful aura emanated from Carrot, filling the entire room. Shisui and Itachi seemed to be drowning for a moment, struggling to breathe; the aura came and went quickly.

Shisui and Itachi greedily inhaled the air, feeling as if they had survived a catastrophe.

"Hahaha. Itachi, the genius of the Uchiha clan, truly lives up to his reputation."

Carrot sincerely admired Itachi's discerning eye.

"Shisui, I'm leaving Itachi in your care."

"Yes, senior."

Carrot's aura just now terrified Itachi. What kind of person is he? His mere presence made me feel the approach of death.

After leaving Carrot's room, Itachi asked Shisui.

"Brother Shisui, just how strong is Lord Carrot?"

Shisui stopped and turned to look at Itachi.

"I don't know exactly how strong you are, senior. I only know that I can't withstand a single move from you."

Itachi knew that Shisui had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan. The fact that Shisui, with his Mangekyou Sharingan, was no match for Carrot in a single blow gave Itachi a deeper understanding of Carrot's strength, moving beyond a vague notion. Itachi knew Carrot was strong; now he had a point of comparison.

"Itachi, all you need to know is that we are loyal to Carrot-senpai. Do you understand?"

Shisui spoke solemnly to Itachi.

“Brother Shisui, I understand. What the clan needs is to follow a strong person, a strong person who can tolerate the development of the Uchiha clan.”

"Good, I'm glad you understand. From now on, you will be our intelligence agent infiltrating the enemy."

"Don't worry, it's very simple."

Itachi said with a relaxed expression. Fugaku hadn't expected that his most valued son had already prepared to betray him.
