Finding that man

Kasamaro, Zabuza and Haku were walking towards the Mizukage office.

While they were about to attend their inauguration ceremony, Shin was doing something different, It has been a few days since he had left Kiri and was currently searching for someone.

That's right, he didn't return to Konoha, he has his shadow clone for that, he was still out and about, in search for ' that man ', Itachi.

' I am transformed as Itachi, searching for Itachi, this should be enough to tell white zetsu information network something is up. '

And when white zetsu gets this information, Akatsuki will, it won't be long now that Itachi and Kisame would come crawling in.

And when he comes, it's time to get some answers, like does he know a non bloody coup, like the one father had planned isn't worth starting a ninja war on?

Seriously, Mist village in canon had a full blown coup with disastrous consequences, they are also one of the five, if something had to happen it would have happened.

' It's not like everyone always wants to only attack Konoha as a team, sure they are a major target, but every ninja village hates each other as well, Mist and Rock are particularly against each other. '

And if Rock ever tires to strike Mist, Thunder would strike them back, because Rock has killed the third Raikage, and when they do that they will encroach Konoha borders, so Konoha would now strike them in return.

' Every village is linked together, nobody will actually start a war under these circumstances at all. What Itachi wanted to prevent wasn't even a threat in the first place! '

Though Shin didn't know his father's plans for coup in detail, he had read it from the light novels before, Fukagu Uchiha had planned a no bloodshed coup, no release of nine tails, no attack on the village.

All of these things are fantasy fed to Itachi by Danzo, so Shin needed to know, if Itachi had finally come to understand this, after all these years outside and understanding how the world actually works, does he have the realisation how utterly meaningless his actions were.

' I only hope you don't come at me with I have done my part now I am good to go nonsense, I am 100% keeping you alive, if you understand your mistakes, you will godamn fix them. '

Shin was chuckling to himself as a man in a hood walked up to his table.

" Seat? "

Spoke the man in a grainy voice, but that wasn't the only weird part about this scenario.

Shin was in a bar, a bar inside of the bounty center, and people don't just walk in here to your table for a chat.

" Hah, take it. "

Spoke Shin, though he looked like Itachi and sounded like him, his speaking pattern was completely different.

The man wasted no time and sat down as he passed a paper to him.

Looking at the paper and making sure it's not a trap, Shin read the thing.

" Uchiha ruins? That old place? "

Even as he pretended to talk naturally, Shinnosuke's eyes had shrunk instantly when he read this, he knew he had to go.

Itachi knew it was him, how did he know? Shin must have slipped up somehow, but now wasn't the time.

" Let's go. "

He told the man, who was for sure a white zetsu to come with him, he was gonna anyway, either above ground or below.

Both men didn't speak and started walking.

' That's the site Itachi had fought Sasuke in their final fight, Itachi's body has been giving up for a while now, he wants to jump at the first chance, he wants to do what he needs to do now that he still has enough strength. '

Shin understood Itachi's mind better than anyone, he was Itachi's actual blood brother.

And now that blood brother was coming to die by his hands, worst part? Just like during Sasuke and Itachi's fight, Akatsuki will be present.

Nobody has died yet amongst them, they were at full strength, Shin had no idea how many people would tag along, and that's precisely what makes it scary.

' Whatever, big deal, I will release Yagura upon them. '

Yagura and Kasamaro will take some pressure on, Shin can't face every single Atatsuki at all. He wasn't that strong yet.
