Chapter 510: Godaime Hokage

“We will now begin the Inauguration of Godaime Hokage, I, Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Sandaime 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 me as the Godaime Hokage, the man you all know……!” announced Sandaime 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.

“Godaime Hokage-sama is the hero who saved the village countless times!”

“Yes, Godaime 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 comments 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, Sandaime Hokage passed the Hokage hat to his successor… officially declaring him as the Godaime Hokage of Konoha.

Again, the entire village cheered and the Inauguration Ceremony finally came to a conclusion.

After the Inauguration Ceremony came to a conclusion, and Godaime Hokage Summoned Itachi and Shisui to the Hokage Office.

Because there were no outsiders, so, Godaime Hokage took of his Hokage Hat, revealing his appearance… and it turns out that the person who succeeded Sandaime Hokage as the Godaime 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 agreement, “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 same as Shisui, and said with a frown, “Kuroto-san, don’t you need to notify the other members of the Organization?”

Kuroto asked in confusion, “Others? Which other members? There are only three of us in Amatsukami.”

“Only three of us?” Itachi was taken aback and wanted to say the names of other members of Amatsukami, but no name or face came to his mind… it was as if there really were no other members in Amatsukami as Kuroto said!

Noting Itachi’s frown, Shisui said, “Itachi… what’s wrong? Why would you think that there are more members in Amatsukami? Kuroto-san established the organization in my presence, and only you were recruited… There has never been any other member in Amatsukami, except for the three of us.”

“Really…?” Itachi realized that something 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 some 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 remember that you used your Kotoamatsukami on someone 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 members in Amatsukami, Itachi was more confused, “I remember that there was another person in Amatsukami… she is the one who tested me, trained me… and finally recruited me into Amatsukami… she is like my Sensei… but I just can not remember her!”

Shisui immediately denied, “There was no such member 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 member in Amatsukami… he took me to Amegakure when Kuroto-san fought against the leader of Akatsuki for the first time…”

Shisui said again, “Itachi… no need to think so deeply… there was no such member in the organization.”

Itachi did not stop and continued, “There was one secret member whom I helped become the Godaime Kazekage as per Kuroto-san’s order… there was another secret member 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 time to go home!”

Izumi also appeared in front of him and said with a blush, “Itachi-kun… don’t forget our date today… Tsunade-sama rarely gave me a holiday… I want us to spend this day together! We can’t wait around for the whole day… come on, let’s go home!”

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 me that you will help me in Shuriken Training today! This time, I am not going to let you fool me! Come on, let’s go home, 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 homes, then after getting changed, we should meet 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 becomes the Hokage, maybe this scenery will no longer be a Genjutsu…’ After that without any hesitation, Itachi dispelled the Genjutsu.
