"Sasuke!" team Hebi ran into the cave together and what they saw were Sasuke dazed at the mystery black feather in the middle air.
"I thought I told you to stay back until I said otherwise." Sasuke said.
"Karin said she sensed someone else's chakra, so we got curious," Suigetsu explained to Sasuke.
Sasuke turned his body and said, "We're moving, follow me."
Ino was left alone at Uchiha hideout after Itachi's clone disappeared. She felt boring and started wandering there.
"Ish- there's nothing here to do!" Ino grumbled. She walked to the stone chair Itachi sat before and sat on it. Ino put her leg on another leg to copy Itachi's pose, "How did he sit on it the whole time? This chair is so uncomfortable…" She stood up from the chair quickly, put her hands on her waist and looked at the chair.
Suddenly, she noticed a poster on the wall behind the chair. The poster had a "fox" in Chinese words and surrounded by eight swirls. Ino was so curios about the poster and walked to it.
She touched the poster and said, "Hmm- this must be very old… Oh, it's falling off!" the poster fell off after Ino's touched it. She quickly tried to recover the poster backed to the same place but she failed.
"Ah!" Ino screamed as the poster fell at her and covered her on the floor. She pushed the poster and sat up from the floor.
"Can't people stick their poster well before they left?" Ino grumbled. "Hey- wait a minute… What's that? Is that a door?" she noticed there was a secret door at the wall where the poster was, she walked towards the wall to see it clearly.
"Yes, it is," a voice came from behind Ino.
"Ah!" Ino was shocked and screamed again, she turned her head and she saw Itachi, she panted and said, "Stop scaring me, I'm fed up!"
"… I'm sorry," Itachi apologized, he continued to say, "There is a hidden room behind the door, and the poster you tear can make anything inside the room undetectable," Itachi opened the door and went inside. "Come, follow me," He said.
"I didn't!" Ino stamped her foot as she was embarrassed, "So I have to stay here when you guys fight?" Ino quickly followed Itachi's pace and asked. Itachi nodded and walked to a table. He took out a small bottle with unknown liquid inside from his cloak and put it on the table.
Itachi looked at Ino and said, "I need you to keep this bottle, the liquid inside can keep eyes fresh." He coughed out some blood again after he spoke.
"Wait what? Whose eyes are going to be there?" Ino looked at Itachi and asked with doubt.
"Mine, after our fight," Itachi said.
"Hurr?" While Ino was still very confused, Itachi explained, "I believe that Sasuke will awaken his Sharingan into Mangekyo Sharingan in the future. Once he had it, he will begin to lose his eyesight just like me if he relied on his eyes too much. Implanting one of my eyes into him will help him regain the vision for light again."
Ino totally didn't understand what Itachi was saying and scratch her head, "Why don't you give him your eye yourself when he awakes Mang… that Sharingan? And how about you if you have only one eye left?" she asked.
Itachi stared at Ino for a while and said, "The time he awakes Mangekyo Sharingan was the time either you… or somebody else is very close to him, die in front of him. As you can see, I'm probably dying, and it doesn't matter if I have only one eye left. So I will need another person to keep my eye just in case I die from illness before he could."
"… You- you didn't plan to kill me in front of him right?" Ino stepped back and asked tremble.
"To be honest, I was… but I realize I owe him too much, and I shouldn't take anything from him again, I will let anything slide itself. My eye is the only thing I think I can pay him back… so please keep my eye as a gift to him after our battle." Itachi said.
Ino didn't know what to say and bit her lips, Itachi thought Ino was still worry about Sasuke, "If you die before me, I will implant my eye into Sasuke myself, so don't worry," he tried to smile gently and said to Ino.
"Do you think this is the best way to comfort people?" Ino felt speechless and rolled her eyes.
