Fugaku congratulates his son for his enrolment into the Anbu reminding him of his obligation to the Uchiha. Danzō, on the other hand, tasks Itachi with keeping them informed of the clan's actions.

Danzō and Hiruzen orchestrate a two-sided mission against the Prajñā Group : Might Guy , Kosuke Maruboshi , and two other ninja were to exchange scrolls with the group while Kakashi and Itachi were to assassinate the group that was suspected of double-crossing Konohagakure .
