'cleanup' that the Queen regularly carries out with the Tirnias. So you also know the task of the Tirnias. They are the highest magicians in the city of Venice and protect the queen. "Ilka explained, deeply immersed in her story, as did Hinata and Ino.

Sakura looked spellbound at the woman. If everything was true, what the woman told them here, then they were witnesses of such an incident last night in the middle of this happening. Goosebumps formed on her skin. Did their mission have anything to do with this hocus-pocus business? Her brain just didn't want to see what was happening here. Only one thing suddenly occurred to her. Her eyeballs slowly turned toward the exit door. She wanted out of this city and far away from it. A dark figure sitting in a corner with her black cloak pulled down over her face played itself out in lightning-like images before her eyes.She abruptly shook her head in disgust until she realized that the others were eyeing her. "The best thing would be to sit down in the kitchen and drink warm rose hip tea, which my daughter really wanted, but is now at school." Ilka tried to relieve the tension in the air and led her guests into the kitchen. Without hesitation, they all followed and sat at the small white table, which now had six chairs. Ilka asked her to sit down and then also sank into a chair.

After Shikamaru had mentioned that he and Ino had spent the last night here due to heavy storms, the shopkeeper no longer seemed so strange to the others. When Sakura had also noticed that this woman had a daughter, I stirred something like normality in her. This calmed her down a little. Not very long, however, when the conversation from before was resumed and the cause was given an evil look by Sakura. To her regret, the Haruno had to admit that all this information was very important in order to be able to understand this city at all in relation to the inhabitants here.

The midday sun was now at its peak and literally burned on any skin that was not protected by robes. Especially dark clothing made it a torture every lunchtime. That is why the Uchiha had preferred to wait in a shady side street, but soon he had to leave this to do some things. A high, almost white wall stretched up directly in front of him. It was the wall of the Palace of Your Highness. And behind it lived very powerful magicians known to him, perhaps also the most powerful of their time. Yet he would not shrink from them himself. He had fought such a person before and knew how to kill a magician. It was difficult but not impossible. His eyes now wandered slowly and surely up to where a very bright building, like the wall, stood.It seemed very pompous and stately to everyone who saw it for the first time, but also incredibly captivating and there was a touch of holiness in it.

Itachi had seen it a long time ago, so this time it didn't bother him. This large building was probably something he was looking for. Without making a noise, he walked quickly to the wall and stopped in its shadow. Several times he looked around. He was no longer allowed to be seen, otherwise he might get into trouble after all. It was forbidden to enter the palace grounds without being a magician or a big animal. As far as he could remember, the magicians inside the palace wore white cloaks. His dexterous hands went under his coat and dug out white cloth. It was of very good quality and sturdy. The Uchiha quickly covered himself with the robe and pulled the too large hood over his head. Now nobody would recognize him anymore and take him for a magician. He immediately noticed that the stinging on his skin had stopped.

Now Kisame had to watch out and make sure that the guard outside the wall did not raise suspicions. Noiselessly he climbed the wall and immediately jumped down on the other side to hide behind a tree. It was in a garden, so also next to the main entrance of the building. He watched the white-robed figures in front of the gate in silence. So they now also used the magicians as guards. The queen must have taken precautionary measures and there were no longer any normal guards there. They weren't fakes. He could feel her power, but it wasn't that strong. But Itachi also knew that they couldn't feel him. He could suppress his aura and would therefore also be transparent to her. His dark eyes wandered cautiously, trying to find a suitable place where he could climb unobserved up to the upper windows of the building.Shortly afterwards he had found this place too, and ducked, hid behind the trees, ran to the side of a tower.

He quickly climbed the tower, but the Uchiha quickly paused when he could hear voices. He hastily jumped a few meters up and pressed down on a ledge. The windows were now at the same height as him, but he had to wait until the voices disappeared from the bottom. A choppy conversation rang in his ears, which is why Itachi leaned vigilantly over the ledge. His keen-sighted eyes recognized two also white-robed figures running towards the main gate. "- last night was another murder" "- don't worry. Adler has already got rid of him." "-Adler is in the palace today." "-not sure." When the figures had completely disappeared and could no longer be understood, he leaned over the Uchiha back.

So it was true. His destination was in the palace. An urge of excitement made him stand up and hurry over to the large window. Before these magicians could reach the reception hall, it must first have reached the king's hall. Sweat stood on his forehead. The heat had penetrated the white fabric now too. The black-haired man crouched on a stone pillar and looked carefully into the first window. It was the king's hall.


There was a glistening white in the very long and hollow hall. The white tiles that were stretched over the entire hall reflected the entire ceiling. This was painted with white and silver figures and some even protruded as if they wanted to separate from the ceiling. To the side of the hall there were also large, graceful figures that were supposed to represent all kinds of shapes. One figure, however, stood out in particular. It was an eagle-winged magician. He stood diagonally next to the queen's throne. The queen herself wore a very splendid light-colored dress and an impressively splendid mask, which was framed by black feathers.It was the only black in the room, which is why her mask stood out.


Her gaze focused on the statue next to her, which also stayed there for a long time until something caught her attention. It was a very dark figure that was now even more noticeable than the queen. "You always manage to penetrate here unnoticed with your very conspicuous shell." The queen's voice seemed very pleased and amused, but her voice sounded like a worthy queen, as if she had been waiting for this moment for ages. A moment later the dark figure sat down on the floor and bowed its head."I am honored that you have waited for me, Your Highness."


Hui! At last! I was finally able to bring Itachi more into the story and that's a good thing as he is supposed to be the main character of the story!
