#454 (March 24) - Shisui's Request
Itachi was getting some practices as a request by his best friend, Shisui. The practices were three, the first one was to explore the whereabouts of the fugitive, and the second one was to encamp at night. Itachi learned many things from Shisui and their bond became stronger. And in the end of their practices, Shisui and Itachi came across the Root Anbu for their combat with the Hokage.
#455 (April 7) - Moonlit Night
Due to his great abilites, Itachi became an Anbu captain and took the orders directly from Danzo rather than Hiruzen to preserve his position. However, later he was forced to act as a double agent to monitor the coup of his clan.
