"Yes, you asked us to replace the hidden sentries, but after the elders looked for many locations, they found that it was too troublesome for us to change and it also reduced the defense zone.
So, we simply used surveillance cameras. Although they don't have the perceptual capabilities of manpower, they are cheap and convenient. What's wrong, don't you like it?"
Coming out of the surveillance guard room and facing Shisui's question, Kaito didn't know how to answer, or perhaps this question didn't need an answer at all.
Because Kaito naturally supports such surveillance equipment, he just hadn't quite wrapped his head around it.
After all, the combination of surveillance cameras and the supernatural power of ninjas was too bizarre.
But thinking about it, Kaito recalled that there seemed to be technological development in the world of ninjas, just that its presence was always weak.
For example, this ghost world has guns—although they are of no use, ninjas really wouldn't take this thing seriously, otherwise it would have become popular to deal with ninjas a long time ago.
Apart from these firearms, this world also has movies, televisions, and simple communication devices. It seems to have everything that could be used.
So, having surveillance cameras doesn't seem like a strange thing.
And upon careful recollection, it seemed that in the original story, Konoha also installed quite a few cameras outside the Uchiha clan to monitor the Uchihas in coordination with the Anbu.
"However, these surveillance devices are just as Shisui said, they are indeed covert but unlike ninjas, they can't perceive the surroundings or sense chakra.
So, surveillance devices can only be used as auxiliary equipment, and it still largely relies on the ninjas to do the main job.
"I don't dislike it, it just feels a bit strange."
Kaito touched his head, and in the end could only offer this as an excuse, and he quickly changed the subject.
"I feel bad for the clanspeople on guard and those monitoring the equipment. With such a large celebration, they still have to be busy."
"You know, at such an important time, they have to hold their positions."
Shisui helplessly spread his hands, he seemed to think that Kaito was being a bit too cautious, but he would not undermine Kaito.
"But you've said that the clan needs discipline, and we are not sure about the specific actions from Konoha's side, so it's better to be cautious, right?"
Shisui's words made Kaito somewhat amused, but indeed, being cautious can't be wrong. Could Kaito actually tell Shisui that Uchiha Itachi currently poses a great problem?
And then tell him that originally, without me, you would have had one eye gouged out by Danzo, then you would have killed yourself out of despair, and Itachi would have wiped out the entire clan for the village and his brother?
He couldn't say such things, because if he did, he would be deemed insane.
Even though Kaito is an Uchiha and even possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan, he knows full well that he isn't insane.
Straightening his clothes, Kaito said to Shisui with a smile, "We'll compensate them later. Let's go, my deputy clan leader. If we don't attend today's clan meeting, we'll be in big trouble."
"Alright, let's go." Shisui also laughed, but soon he looked puzzledly towards the side.
At this moment, a young Uchiha ninja was rapidly running towards them.
Seeing his somewhat anxious expression, Shisui and Kaito both sensed that something might have gone wrong.
Sure enough, after he relayed all the information, the color of Kaito's face had changed.
The warm smile that had been there originally had vanished without a trace, and his eyebrows were deeply furrowed.
Seeing Kaito's changed expression, Shisui also felt a bit helpless. Itachi's recent behavior was peculiar.
Uchiha Itachi's recent performance really raised doubts. Basically, he didn't communicate with the other members of the clan, even including his parents.
Although some members of the clan didn't plan to pay attention to him at all, he rarely initiated any conversation.
"Notify Elder Sō and Elder Takechi, the celebration is temporarily cancelled. But don't make a big fuss, ask the clanspeople to protect those weaker members of the clan."
As Shisui was contemplating, Kaito had already issued the command.
"Kaito, aren't we being a bit too nervous?" Shisui couldn't help but ask.
"I wouldn't say nervous, necessary precautions are always needed.
Besides, those dangerous individuals sneaking back, I don't believe they have no hazardous intentions."
Kaito didn't think his orders were overly cautious or extreme, especially when dealing with a character like Uchiha Itachi, he didn't think his actions were too much.
And now, Kaito was genuinely a bit angry. What should have been a pleasant celebration had been disrupted in such a way, who would be happy about that?
Did this guy really think he was the agent of justice, and everything he did was right?
"Also, notify Uchiha Fugaku to gather with us. We'll meet this genius ninja together, this user of the Mangekyou Sharingan.
Of course, if he wants to see his son, see what this kid is up to, we can also see how our former clan leader would handle this."
Kaito took a deep breath, quickly got his emotions under control, and said in a low voice.
After saying this, Kaito walked towards the front without looking back.
It was a blessing that today was a festival, and all the clanspeople were not at home but gathered at the shrine. It was a blessing that he had always been on guard, not allowing the Uchiha any slack.
Otherwise, letting Uchiha Itachi rush into their homes one by one, or attacking them when they were completely unprepared, would have been a disaster.
What disgusted Kaito even more was that even though there were many Uchiha in the original story, not all of them were ninjas.
There were quite a few clanspeople who were ordinary people; they simply had no qualification to be involved in a coup.
But this cold-hearted individual eliminated everyone, regardless of their gender, age, or whether they were involved, and all he did was supposedly for the sake of protecting Konoha and his younger brother.
Kaito was repulsed by this indifference and cold-bloodedness. In this world, he hadn't done anything yet, and Kaito was considering, from a prosperity perspective, persuading Shisui to convince him.
Now this guy pulls a stunt like this; it seems like he's seeking his own doom!
The speed of the ninjas was incredibly fast, and in just a moment, everyone had started to move, even though it was the middle of the festival, they all remained sufficiently cautious.
Upon receiving the news, Uchiha Fugaku was somewhat dumbfounded. After a while, he met with Kaito and then went in the direction where Itachi was.
He wanted to see his son, he wanted to confirm some things, he really didn't want things to get too bad....
