Before I start on this chapter, I would like to say thank you. I know that we passed one thousand votes a while ago, but it's just not something that I expected when I joined this website. I made a joke a while ago with a friend of mine that I was going to catch up to her on votes; her story had 1330 votes at the time (now 1339). I was hoping that I would be able to beat her, but I knew that it was going to a while, seeing as how she had a bit of a head start, and her story had over one-fifty parts, while mine had thirty-four maybe thirty-five. It's just amazing how close I am to breaking her stories vote count, and it's only because of you guys that I've gotten this far. So, thank you. Thank you for voting on my stories, thank you for commenting, thank you for glancing over my chapters, thank you for helping me reach this place. Thank you. 😊

-_____-Third Person Point of View-_____-

Naruto stared in front of him. The person in front of him unmoving, as they stared long and hard at Naruto. Naruto cracked a smile towards the person in front of him.

-____-Back in Konoha -____-

Shisui stared at Itachi. "Your emotionless mask is useless around me Itachi," Shisui states, a layer of entertainment imbued into his words.

"And for that I hate you," Itachi replies.

"You know you couldn't hate me if your life depended on it." Shisui retorts.

"Is that a challenge?" Itachi asks.

"Possibly." Shisui

"So, what is the purpose of rudely inviting yourself into my office?" Itachi questions.

"Well, I wanted to check in on my father cousin." Shisui states.

"If the council gets what it wants, then I will soon be your only cousin," Itachi replies.

"I do not think that Naruto died." Shisui states.

"I know. Sasuke should have had no chance beating Naruto. The body has yet to be found." Itachi states.

"You think it was his Mangekyou ability?" Shisui asks.

"What do you think it is?" Itachi asks.

"Those black flames you saw, they could be a Mangekyou ability," Shisui explains.

"And that would help Naruto's chances of survival how?" Itachi questions.

"Well, the fire burned seven days and seven nights, right?" Shisui asks.

"Yes, giving more to the proof that Naruto may have withered away." Itachi answers.

"When you arrived, did you see Naruto's body?" Shisui asks.

"No, it wasn't there," Itachi responds.

"That increases his chances of survival," Shisui states, watching as Itachi pieced it together.

"I hate you sometimes Shisui," Itachi states, no hostility genuinely coming out.

"Now onto a different subject." Shisui states.

"Do tell?" Itachi invites.

"Hokage-Sama, do you remember the meeting we had one week ago?" Shisui asks, already knowing the answer.

"Of course, what of it?" Itachi questions.

"I am requesting permission to act upon that mission in the next possible instance." Shisui states.

"Permission accepted." Itachi states.

"Oh come on Itachi, don't let your..... wait what?" Shisui asks confused.
