“We will now begin the Inauguration of Godai Hokage, I, Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Sandai Hokage will be the one presiding over the ceremony today.”
Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap
There was enthusiasm in the crowd.
“All right then, let’s call upon the man of the hour himself. The hero of the Shinobi World, who guided us to peace and stability by putting an end to the Akatsuki Organization’s reign of terror. The man who will succeed as the Godai Hokage, the man you all know……!” announced Sandai Hokage with a pleasant smile.
All of a sudden, the entire crowd cheered.
The excited shouts, applause, and cheers were intertwined, making the whole village plunge into a sea of joy.
“Godai Hokage-sama is the hero who saved the village countless tis!”
“Yes, Godai Hokage-sama also eliminated the terrorist organization Akatsuki and brought forth peace in this Shinobi World!”
“He is the strongest Shinobi not only in Konoha but in the entire Shinobi world, with him as the Hokage, the village will prosper, and continue to give birth to many excellent Shinobi!”
Listening to the comnts and shouts of the villagers, Itachi and Shisui glanced at each other with a mysterious smile that only the other party could understand.
Soon after, Sandai Hokage passed the Hokage hat to his successor… officially declaring him as the Godai Hokage of Konoha.
Again, the entire village cheered and the Inauguration Ceremony finally ca to a conclusion.
After the Inauguration Ceremony ca to a conclusion, and Godai Hokage Summoned Itachi and Shisui to the Hokage Office.
Because there were no outsiders, so, Godai Hokage took of his Hokage Hat, revealing his appearance… and it turns out that the person who succeeded Sandai Hokage as the Godai Hokage is none other than Hyuga Kuroto.
Shisui said, “Congratulation Kuroto-san for becoming the Hokage!”
Itachi also added, “With Kuroto-san as the Hokage, the Village will be safe, and the Shinobi World will be in peace.”
Looking at Shisui and Itachi in front of him, Kuroto nodded with a smile, “The Akatsuki Organization has been destroyed… with this Amatsukami no longer has any role left, therefore, it should also disappear silently.”
Shisui nodded, “Hmm, the mission of Amatsukami was to bring peace to the Village and the Shinobi World. The mission has been accomplished!”
Itachi also nodded in agreent, “Yes, the other villages have also agreed to the peace treaty proposed by Konoha, so there will be no war from here on.”
Kuroto patten Shisui and Itachi’s shoulder, and said, “Since, nothing more is left for Amatsukami to do, therefore, as its leader, I announce that Amatsukami will be officially disbanded, right here, right now!”
Shisui on the side cheered… but Itachi wasn’t the sa as Shisui, and said with a frown, “Kuroto-san, don’t you need to notify the other mbers of the Organization?”
Kuroto asked in confusion, “Others? Which other mbers? There are only three of us in Amatsukami.”
“Only three of us?” Itachi was taken aback and wanted to say the nas of other mbers of Amatsukami, but no na or face ca to his mind… it was as if there really were no other mbers in Amatsukami as Kuroto said!
Noting Itachi’s frown, Shisui said, “Itachi… what’s wrong? Why would you think that there are more mbers in Amatsukami? Kuroto-san established the organization in my presence, and only you were recruited… There has never been any other mber in Amatsukami, except for the three of us.”
“Really…?” Itachi realized that sothing is wrong here… but he can’t figure out what is wrong… and decided to leave the matter for now.
Afterward, Shisui and Itachi bid farewell to Kuroto and soon left the Hokage office.
While walking next to Shisui, he said, “I don’t know why Shisui-san… but I feel that we have forgotten so very important things.”
Shisui said, with a confused look, “Really? But I don’t feel like we have forgotten anything.”
Itachi stopped suddenly, “Shisui-san, were there really only three of us in Amatsukami?”
“Kuroto-san obviously said so… there are only three of us in Amatsukami…!” – Shisui insisted.
Itachi suddenly said, “But Shisui-san, don’t you rember that you used your Kotoamatsukami on soone to recruit them into Amatsukami…?”
Shisui shook his head, “I have never used Kotoamatsukami on anyone for such a reason… why do you ask?”
Seeing that Shisui also insisted that there are only three mbers in Amatsukami, Itachi was more confused, “I rember that there was another person in Amatsukami… she is the one who tested , trained … and finally recruited into Amatsukami… she is like my Sensei… but I just can not rember her!”
Shisui imdiately denied, “There was no such mber in Amatsukami! Are you sure that you are not tired and misjudging things?”
Itachi did not pause and continued to speak, “There was one more mber in Amatsukami… he took to Agakure when Kuroto-san fought against the leader of Akatsuki for the first ti…”
Shisui said again, “Itachi… no need to think so deeply… there was no such mber in the organization.”
Itachi did not stop and continued, “There was one secret mber whom I helped beco the Godai Kazekage as per Kuroto-san’s order… there was another secret mber whom we… I see… so that’s the case! We… are we? No rather am I in a Genjut-…?”
But before Itachi could finish, suddenly the sound of his Tou-san, and Oka-san echoed from far away, “Itachi it’s ti to go ho!”
Izumi also appeared in front of him and said with a blush, “Itachi-kun… don’t forget our date today… Tsunade-sama rarely gave a holiday… I want us to spend this day together! We can’t wait around for the whole day… co on, let’s go ho!”
Suddenly Sasuke ran over, after holding Itachi’s hand he started to drag Itachi towards the Uchiha Clan district, and said, “Nii-san, you promised that you will help in Shuriken Training today! This ti, I am not going to let you fool ! Co on, let’s go ho, then we will go to the training grounds for Shuriken Training!”
Shisui added, “Hmm, Itachi, now that I think about it… I have also learned a new Jutsu… I will teach it to you… So, we should first go to our respective hos, then after getting changed, we should et at the Training Field!”
Listening to Sasuke, Izumi, Shisui, and his parents, Itachi smiled bitterly…
How could he not realize that he has been in a Genjutsu? The peaceful and prosperous Konohagakure in front of him, the village where the Uchiha Clan is accepted as an integral part of the village without any barriers is a false one… a very strong and realistic Genjutsu constructed from what Itachi wishes to see from the bottom of his heart.
“A really beautiful world… indeed.” After a pause, Itachi said in a deep voice, “Unfortunately it is fake!”
As he said, Itachi activated his Mangekyou Sharingan, and thought with a smile, ‘If Kuroto-San truly becos the Hokage, maybe this scenery will no longer be a Genjutsu…’ After that without any hesitation, Itachi dispelled the Genjutsu.
