Yes, yes, and yes?

Itachi greets Shisui, Naruto and Kakashi. Shisui says "don't to look at Itachi's eyes, since he uses visual Genjutsu". Chiyo says "I've heard of Itachi before, and how he was the one who wiped out his own clan. Nonetheless, I've gone up against an Uchiha and their Sharingan in my youth and know a plan of attack"

Kakashi, however, states "your plan won't work since Itachi uses Mangekyō Sharingan. I remember the last time I fought Itachi and he placed me under the Tsukuyomi, which caused me to undergo three days worth of **** and a week in a comatose state despite the **** only happening in a single second in actuality." Itachi is surprised to know that Kakashi has learned something from their last battle, but Kakashi adds "but using the Mangekyō Sharingan comes at a personal cost - risking the user's eyesight and causing permanent damage"

Itachi commends Kakashi for learning about the Mangekyō Sharingan, and Kakashi responds by asking how damaged Itachi's eyes are, before raising his forehead protector to reveal his own Sharingan. Itachi is stunned by the move, and along with Kakashi's knowledge of the Mangekyō Sharingan, wonders if Kakashi himself possesses it.

"In order to fight Itachi, we must anticipate his moves by looking at his body instead of his eyes, fortunately that doesn't extend to me, since I two have The Mangekyō Sharingan in both eyes meaning That I can go all out with my Cousin." Shisui says as he activated his Mangekyō Sharingan and used Amaterasu on Itachi who countered with his own Amaterasu. Itachi however, is able to cast Genjutsu with his ring, to which Naruto remains oblivious. Kakashi rushes at Itachi, but Itachi blocks the move and holds him in place. Using a shadow clone, Itachi goes after Naruto. Naruto hits the shadow clone with a quickly executed Rasengan, dispelling the shadow clone. He then sees Kakashi, Sakura, Shisui, Temari and Chiyo lying wounded on the ground. However, all five of them turn into Itachi, and Naruto wonders what exactly is going on.

Naruto realizes that he's in a Genjutsu that Itachi cast upon him when the various Itachi he strikes transform into crows. Naruto wonders how Itachi trapped him in a genjutsu when he did not even look at his eyes, and Itachi interrupts Naruto thinking by states "I can cast Genjutsu with his ring" which Naruto looks at. Itachi then prepares to put Naruto to sleep. Remembering Jiraiya's training regarding how to break out of a Genjutsu, Naruto dispels the crows Itachi conjures, which causes Itachi to remark "Naruto you have grown."

Unable to escape from the visions that Itachi placed on him, Naruto mentally pleads for someone to free him from the Genjutsu, while outside the Genjutsu Shisui walkes over to Naruto and places his hand on Narutos sholder and focuses his Chakra into Naruto to break the Genjutsu.

"Stay alert" Kakashi says while he rushes towards Itachi. Itachi uses Fire-Style: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique, which Kakashi is able to zip through and avoid. Itachi than launches his Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique at Naruto, Sakura, Temari, Shisui and Chiyo, and all manage to avoid its path.

Kakashi attempts to hit Itachi with his Lightning Cutter, but Itachi is able to jump into the air and evade the attack. However, Naruto attempts to hit Itachi in mid-air with his Rasengan. As Naruto makes contact, it turns out that that Itachi is a shadow clone. Kakashi uses the Hiding in Mist Technique that he copied from Zabuza years ago to shroud the environment. "it's useless to use that my Sharingan can still see through the mist" Itachi says and attempts to hit Kakashi with his Fireball Technique.

Kakashi notices that something is off about Itachi, and goes under the ground in an attempt to use Earth Release: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique, but Itachi manages to avoid Kakashi's attack. Holding Kakashi in place, Itachi attempts to cast a genjutsu on Kakashi. The Kakashi in his grip, however, is a shadow clone, that now has a hold on Itachi. "hit both my shadow clone and Itachi Shisui" Kakashis says.

Shisui rushes at Itachi and the Kakashi shadow clone with his Wind and Lightning-Style Rasenshuriken. The attack hits Itachi, but Itachi smirks at Shisui right as he is hit. Sakura, Temari and Chiyo marvel at the destructive power of Shisui technique and Naruto is in shock as he see's Shisui's new Variant of the Rasengan.

After the technique subsides, the six are surprised to see that the dead body in front of them is not that of Itachi's, but of Yūra, an Anbu Commander of Sunagakure's High Council.

Team Kakashi are able to come to the conclusion that the fight they had was nothing more than a distraction to prevent them from rescuing Gaara. Chiyo summons a Mechanical Bird to deliver a message to her brother Ebizō regarding Yūra, the man used as a sacrifice for Itachi. Chiyo explains that for the Akatsuki to use such a technique would mean that they have already begun the extraction. When Sakura asks "what do you mean?"

"The Tailed-Beast's were often harnessed for their power by sealing them inside individuals. Those individuals would become host to the beast itself and would be able to keep the beast sealed within them while using the beast's power for themselves. Those individuals, known as Jinchūriki, and would however die if the beast was extracted from them. Before Gaara, Sunagakure had two jinchūriki who had Shukaku sealed within them, and they died following the extraction" Chiyo explains.

Sakura is angry that shinobi harnessed the power of the beasts during the war and is about to criticise the Jinchūriki who were created, before stopping herself short when she realises that Naruto is a Jinchūriki, And her secret crush is one as well. Tearful at the idea of the Akatsuki killing Shisui by extracting the Two-Tails out of him, Sakura is about to talk to Shisui when he interrupts, saying "we should be on the move if they expect to save Gaara"

Kakashi notices that Shisui pace has slowed down considerably, realising that he must be wiped out from using his dual-nature Rasenshuriken, or that his body is starting to strain from the Amaterasu and Kamui he has. "Lets take a break" Kakashi says which Chiyo calls a wise decision. Sakura and Naruto try to protests, but Kakashi stops them and explains "If we were to rest up and then continue, we would reach Gaara much faster than if we continued at their current pace."
