When they learn that they are to be joined by Itachi Uchiha, the current members of the Anbu decide to test the young man's mettle. Meanwhile, Guy makes a bid to Hiruzen to let him join the Anbu after realizing that Kakashi is becoming withdrawn. However, Guy's request rejected by not only the Third Hokage, but also by Danzo who deems him be lacking the quality of "darkness". Fugaku congratulates Itachi for his enrollment into the Anbu reminding him of his obligation to the Uchiha, Danzo tasking Itachi with keep them informed of the clan's actions. Danzo and Hiruzen orchestrate a two-sided mission against the Hannya Black Ops, who they suspected to have double-crossed them: Guy, Kosuke, and two other ninja sent to exchange scrolls while unaware that Kakashi and Itachi were sent to assassinate. A battle ensues and the Hannya are defeated, Guy watching in horror as Kakashi and Itachi carry out their mission. Returning to the village to be debriefed, fearing for his friend's state of mind, Guy pleads with Hirizen to relieve Kakashi of his duties in the Anbu. Meanwhile, in the Naka Shrine, the Uchiha hold a meeting with Itachi reporting the standing of the village as Shisui watches on. As he sat down, Itachi spots the stone monument behind his father and begins reading it with his Sharingan. (Source: Wikipedia) Kakashi's Anbu Arc: The Shinobi That Lives in the Darkness: (9/13)
