454

Fugaku discusses the Sharingan with Itachi while feeding fish, ignoring Tenma's death. Shisui borrows Itachi for a three-part exercise involving tracking decoys and night conversations. Itachi reveals his Sharingan awakening to Shisui. They encounter Root members attacking a Konoha Anbu over a traitor's scroll. The Anbu is a water clone; the real one was poisoned. Itachi and Shisui fight the Root members. Itachi uses a trap against an attacker, and Shisui defeats another, causing retreat. The exercise ends, and the injured Anbu requests secrecy. Shisui tends to Itachi's minor injury, noting his Sharingan reaction delay. They discuss the day's events. Years later, Itachi joins the Anbu to monitor Konoha from the shadows.
