Naruto: The Strongest Kakashi

Chapter 143 Itachi's Assessment

A month later, Uchiha Itachi came to Anbu Base.

With a cold face, no emotions can be seen on his face, no one would have thought that such a boy was only ten years old.

In him, there is no childishness that a child should have.

"Uchiha Itachi?"

An Anbu asked Itachi as he is looking up and down at Itachi.

Itachi nodded and said: "Yes, I'm Uchiha Itachi. I come here to participate in the Anbu assessment."

That Anbu then said: "The department that will be assessing you is the Anbu's sixth team. Please come with me."

Itachi did not speak, but just followed the Anbu.

Passing through the dark hall, there is a corridor in front of him, dark and long.

Itachi seemed to be walking behind silently, but in fact Itachi had already memorized all the places he had pass through.

Shinobi must have accurate observations of the surrounding environment and cannot relax their vigilance at any time. There are many people who know this, but there are very few people who can actually do this.

However, the young Itachi now is doing it.

"Uchiha Itachi, in the front is the venue for the Anbu assessment. You can go in by yourself."

When the Anbu finished speaking, he turned and left.

It was a dark iron door that looked a bit gloomy and cold.

Itachi didn't hesitate, and pushed the iron door open directly.

The iron door is a bit heavy.

The door then opened, and Itachi saw three shinobi in Anbu uniform standing in the center of the room.

Itachi know about the person on the left. Looking at his body shape and posture, Itachi knows that he's definitely Shisui.

He doesn't know about the person on the right, he should never meet this person before.

The man in the middle has silver-white hair and there is a wristband with a strange pattern on his right hand. There is a dangerous aura leaking from his body, and he is single-eyed. Itachi knows that he should be the famous Hatake Kakashi.

Itachi just glanced at these three people and made a judgment instantly.

"Uchiha Itachi, come here for the assessment."

Kakashi then looked at Itachi from a close distance, and the boy's body was full of calmness.

From entering until now, Itachi's heartbeat is beating normally, which proves that he does not feel nervous at all.

Usually, it is inevitable for ordinary young people to be nervous at this times, but he does not.

Kakashi admit that the mental quality of the boy in front of him is really high.

"Uchiha Itachi, ten years old. When you're six years old, you enter the Academy and graduate after only one year, you become a Chunin at the age of ten, you are hailed as a genius in decades."

Kakashi read the information about Itachi word by word. But there was no expression on Itachi's face.

This is his resume, he knows better than anyone else.

"Excellent results, most people in Anbu do not have such excellent resumes as yours."

In Anbu, except for Kakashi himself, the rest of the people really don't have such excellent resumes. Even Shisui resumes is not this good.

"Your resumes are enough for you to enter Anbu, but Anbu is not so easy to enter. Before that, we have to conduct an assessment for you. The assessment is very simple. In the Wood Mountain next to Konoha, I put an Anbu mask. As long as you can get it before sunset, you will pass the assessment."

Itachi frowned, to go to a mountain to find such a small thing without any clue is almost impossible. Not to mention before sunset, it may be impossible to find it in a month.

Seeing Itachi's expression, Kakashi then continued: "The mask is hidden by me. You can find clues from me for one minute."

After hearing Kakashi's words, Itachi breathed a sigh of relief as it seemed much simpler now.

Itachi didn't waste any time. He walked directly to Kakashi's side, circled him, and then looked up and down.

"One minute is up, you can either choose to give up or starts searching."

Itachi did not say much, as he immediately leave the Anbu Base.

"Shisui, your brother is really cold."

Seeing Itachi leave, Tenzo joked.

Shisui smiled helplessly. "It's not like that. Itachi has been like this since childhood, but we can't blame him for this. After all, his father is Clan Head Fugaku and I have never seen him laugh before."

"Interesting. Then Shisui, Kakashi-Senpai, do you guys think he can find that mask?" asked Tenzo.

"There is no problem, Itachi is smart." Shisui said with great confidence.

Kakashi touched his chin and said, "There should be no problem. This test is not difficult. It's just to examine Itachi's observation and judgment."

Regarding Itachi's strength, Kakashi knew that there was no problem after seeing Itachi at the Chunin Exam.

Therefore, this assessment is just to examine Itachi's observation and judgment.

The clues that Kakashi left on himself are obvious, and Itachi's eyes have indeed looked at those places just now, so there shouldn't be any problems for Itachi to find the mask.

At this moment, Kakashi looked at the bracer he was wearing today and smiled meaningfully.

Seeing Shisui and Kakashi believed that Itachi will find the mask, Tenzo could not help but be a little surprised.

He didn't expect this ten-years-old boy to be so valued by both Kakashi and Shisui.

Tianzang knows that Kakashi and Shisui seem to be very gentle, but to make them acknowledge someone is not easy.

From this, Tenzo concluded that Itachi is really unique.

At the foot of Wood Mountain, Itachi stood alone on a large rock.

'His trousers are stained with water, so he should have been on the lake. There is a petal on the bottom of his feet, which should be a rose flower. And there is a faint fragrance on his body, which should be the smell of amaranth. In addition, there is a patch of bamboo leaves on his clothes.'

Itachi closed his eyes as he recalls the entire Wood Mountain map in his mind, and then starts finding the mask location from the clues he got from Kakashi.

Suddenly, Itachi opened his eyes, 'It should be there!'

Chakra starts gathering on his feet, he looked at the sky, and knows that there were only three hours left until sunset. With the time needed to go back to the Anbu Base, he only had two hours.

'There is not much time, I should move fast.'

Itachi thought about it in his heart, and then the Chakra under his feet starts surge even more.

There are rose flowers here!

There are amaranths here!

There is a bamboo forest here!

There is a lake here!

Soon, Itachi found about the place from the clues.

But he frowned again.

No, even if this place has all the four clues, he still can't find the mask here.

With his Sharingan, if the mask is really at this place, he should be able to find it, but he found nothing here.

'Did I overlook something?'

Itachi stopped on a tree and lost in thought.

'No, there should be nothing else on his body. Then what did I miss?'

Suddenly, Itachi's inspiration flashed!

'That's right, the wristband Kakashi wear!'

The wristband looked new, obviously not used before, and the pattern on it is also temporarily engraved.

After carefully recalling the pattern, Itachi's eyes lit up, 'It's right there!'
