After Kakashi had joined the Special Tactical Team, his whereabouts became more secret than even the whereabouts of the Hokage; everything about him became a secret, where he goes, what he does, what he learning, et cetera are all secret that not even Kuroto was aware of until he personally investigated Kakashi for many days.

The Training Field where Kakashi was learning, training, and perfecting Flying Raijin Jutsu was a Secret Training Field that very few were aware of.

Because of this, it wasn’t until a few hours ago when Sandaime personally visited the Training Field to check up on Kakashi’s progress that he found Kakashi bloodied, with only one eye, and only a step away from death.

Immediately, Kakashi was secretly transferred to the Konoha Hospital by Sandaime’s orders where Senju Tsunade and her three disciples personally took care of Kakashi’s treatment somehow managing to save Kakashi from the brink of death.

Guy briefly talked about what he knew about Kakashi’s situation.

After listening to Guy, Kuroto supported his chin with his left hand and had an extremely solemn expression.

The enemy attacked Kakashi inside the village, pressed Kakashi enough that he was unable to even fire the Signal Flare, at the same time, defeated Kakashi, but did not immediately kill Kakashi; just left him bloodied to die and only stole the Sharingan in Kakashi’s left eye. No matter how Kuroto thinks about it, there is only one person who is capable of doing this in the Akatsuki, that is the original owner of that left Sharingan in Kakashi’s eye; Uchiha Obito.

‘How is it possible? Why did Obito take the left Sharingan back?’

Upon realizing the implication of this information, Kuroto was seriously taken aback; and completely caught off guard.

Even in the canon, until the very end of the Fourth Great Shinobi War, Obito did not take back that eye from Kakashi. If not for the fact that Madara took it from Kakashi to enter the Kamui Dimension; then that eye would have been with Kakashi all his life.

Obito went after Shisui’s eye that was with Danzo, but not after his own left eye that Kakashi had.

Kuroto knows that had Obito wanted, he could have easily taken that eye but Obito never even attempted to do so, which is why Kuroto was completely defenseless in this regard.

Guy continued, “As soon as Kakashi regained consciousness, he asked to see me, you, and Shisui. He said that he has a few questions from us.”

Kuroto no longer wasted any time in thinking, and nodded, “Alright, let’s go to Shisui’s home.”

Guy nodded, then Kuroto no longer cared about the leftover food in front of him; left it half-finished and went to the Uchiha Clan along with Guy.

Shisui’s home.

Shisui and Itachi were exchanging their personal experience in the use of Mangekyou Sharingan, as well as developing theories as to how to improve their various abilities to be able to counter Akatsuki.

Suddenly, Sasuke who had been playing with Naruto for the whole afternoon rushed in and asked the two of them, “Nii-san, Shisui-san, when you both fight with me, do you both intentionally release water, and let me compete with you on an equal footing?”

Naruto’s unintentional words during the day even made Sasuke realize that something is wrong, and he was worried about it until now.

Itachi noticed the redness and swelling on Sasuke’s cheeks, and asked curiously, “What’s wrong with your face Sasuke?”

Sasuke pursed his lips, “Today I fought a duel against a kid, and lost to him.”

Shisui also became curious, “Who did you lose to?”

Normally, when Sasuke plays with Itachi and Shisui, both of them naturally let out a whole lot of water, otherwise, given the strength of these two, it would be impossible for Sasuke to even be able to see them, much less touch them or fight them.

But even so, both of them are very clear about Sasuke’s strength, among the peers his age, Sasuke is undoubtedly one of the best, which is why both of them were surprised that Sasuke lost against a kid.

Sasuke said with a bitter expression, “It was a kid named Kimimaro from Otogakure, when fighting him, I even awakened the Sharingan but I still couldn’t defeat him, I brought shame to the Uchiha Clan.”

Rather than focusing on the fact that Sasuke was defeated by a kid called Kimimaro, both Itachi and Shisui’s attention was directed towards another fact, “Sasuke, did you just say that you awakened the Sharingan?” both Shisui and Itachi were taken aback.

Sasuke immediately activated his Sharingan and said, “I awakened the Sharingan in the middle of the duel, but I still couldn’t defeat him. This is completely different from our usual practice, does that mean he is even faster than you two?”

Shisui stared at the single tomoe in Sasuke’s eyes and said with some emotion, “Sure enough, it’s the Sharingan, if I am not wrong, Sasuke is only seven years old, right?”

Itachi nodded, and his eyes were also looking at Sasuke’s one tomoe Sharingan.

Sasuke said with a frustrated tone, “Nii-san, Shisui-san, did you hear what I just said?”

Before either Shisui or Itachi could answer Sasuke, Kuroto and Guy appeared at Shisui’s house and Kuroto briefly told the two about what actually happened. Of course, Sasuke couldn’t understand because the information was very concise.

Hearing that Kakashi was attacked and even the Sharingan was stolen, even Shisui was taken aback, because he is one of the very few people actually aware of the fact that the Sharingan in Kakashi’s left is not a fully matured Sharingan, but a Mangekyou Sharingan.

The secret of Kakashi’s Mangekyou Sharingan was only known to the four members of Team-11, and, of course, Itachi, other than these five, not even Sandaime was aware of Kakashi’s Mangekyou Sharingan.

Because Mangekyou Sharingan is too sensitive; once the other members of the Uchiha Clan know of this information, it would be impossible to remain indifferent to the Sharingan in Kakashi’s eye.

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Shisui did not dare to delay any longer and said, “Let’s go, let’s go and see Kakashi-san.”

Itachi also asked Kuroto, “Kuroto-san, can I come too?”

Kuroto groaned for a while then nodded, “Alright, come with us.”

Soon, the four of them left the Uchiha Clan in a rush.

Looking at the few people who left in a hurry, and didn’t even bother to pay attention to him, Sasuke muttered in annoyance, “Humph, I have obviously grown up, even awakened the Sharingan and mastered the ‘Fireball Jutsu’ and yet Nii-san still treats me like a child!”

It didn’t take long for the four to arrive at Konoha Hospital.

When approaching Kakashi’s ward, the four of them encountered the three disciples of Tsunade and hurriedly asked about Kakashi’s condition from them, they learned that Kakashi’s situation was critical but he is alive, although, it will take at least two weeks for Kakashi to fully recover.

After a nod, four of them proceeded to Kakashi’s ward, and several people happened to meet Sandaime and Senju Tsunade at the door, who had just walked out of Kakashi’s ward.

So, they stood by the door and greeted Sandaime and Tsunade.

Sandaime glanced at the four people, his gaze stayed at Itachi for a moment, then nodded, “Go in.”

Sandaime knows that except for Uchiha Itachi, the other three are the former members of the Anbu team Kakashi was the captain of, and given the fact that Kakashi had wanted to see them the first as soon as he regained consciousness, it was reasonable for them to visit Kakashi.

As for Itachi, Sandaime thought a little, then allowed Itachi to go in as well. Sandaime knows that he would have to talk with Fugaku on this matter anyway, so the fact that Itachi is here only made things a bit easier for him.

Having said that, Sandaime and Tsunade walked away with great concern.

After several people entered the ward, they finally saw Kakashi lying on the hospital bed, and a depressed look was clearly visible on his face.

“Everyone is here.” Said Kakashi weakly upon noticing the arrival of three… no four?

Kuroto did not wait for Kakashi to speak anything and hurriedly asked, “Who was the attacker Kakashi?”

Kakashi glanced at Itachi at the end.

Noting Kakashi’s doubts, Kuroto said, “Don’t worry about Itachi, he is in my team, and can be trusted.” After a short pause, Kuroto asked again, “Who was the attacker Kakashi?”

Kakashi lowered his eyes, and instead of answering Kuroto’s question, he asked Shisui lightly, “Shisui, can two pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan have the same Dojutsu?”

As soon as Kuroto heard Kakashi’s question, his guess on the identity of the attacker was already confirmed.

Shisui and the others on the other hand were a little confused, and asked, “Why ask such a question?”

“It is because the one who attacked me is the member of the Akatsuki organization, the masked man named ‘Tobi’ who uses a Space-Time Jutsu as well as Wood Style. We were wrong about the assumption of his Jutsu, instead of using two distinct Jutsu to phase through matter and teleportation, he uses a single Jutsu; a single Mangekyou Sharingan Dojutsu to be exact and the name of Dojutsu he uses is Kamui.” Said Kakashi in a weak tone, his expression was gloomy at the same time filled with uncertainty.

“Kamui?” Shisui and Itachi both looked at each other.

Neither of them has ever heard of the Dojutsu named ‘Kamui.’ Even in the history of the Uchiha Clan that records almost all the known Dojutsu up until now; there is no record of a Dojutsu named Kamui, so they can’t be sure if the two pairs of Mangekyou Sharingan can have the same Dojutsu.

Shisui said with a sigh, “So, in the Akatsuki Organization, besides, Shinichi, there is indeed another Uchiha who has the Mangekyou Sharingan.”

Kuroto has mentioned to Shisui and Itachi that the spiraled masked man named Tobi is most definitely an Uchiha, and he is undoubtedly the one responsible for the death of Yondaime Hokage, and also releasing Kyuubi on Konoha about six and a half years ago.

He is also the one responsible for the death of Uchiha Kurumi, and the defection of Shinichi to Akatsuki.

At this time, Guy asked with a curious tone, “Kakashi, how can you be so sure? Does he, like me, also shouts the name of the moves he uses?”
