But then Shisui just shook his head since it was not a big deal. The spy must have been monitored by Fugaku's squad himself, and if by any chance he would have made any move against him or his family, they would have taken action for sure.
After enjoying the show of many Jonin appearing in front of the spies all of a sudden and placing them under a genjutsu while there was an expression of shock and fear on the faces of those spies, Shisui went inside the house.
"Mom, Yomi, are you guys ready?" Shisui asked.
"Yes, just wait a minute," Hae said and came out of her house with a suitcase full of clothes and other stuff she would need during her stay at Fugaku's house.
After a second, Yomi also came out with a similar suitcase. Looking at the huge suitcases both of them were carrying, Shisui sarcastically asked, "Is that all?"
"Yeah, at least for now. Also, it's not like we are going very far, and if we need anything other than this, then you could always come and get it for us," Hae replied.
"Of course, mom. Now, can we leave for Fugaku-sama's house? Aunt must be waiting for our arrival," Shisui said while putting their bags in a storage seal.
"You are the one who took his time. We were ready for half an hour," Hae said.
"Yes," Yomi also supported her.
"Fine, it was my fault. Now, can we leave?" Shisui asked.
"Sure," Hae said, taking the lead toward Fugaku's house, followed by Yomi and then Shisui.
After reaching Fugaku's house, Shisui said, "Yomi, wait at the door for some time." Then he and Hae went inside ahead and rang the bell.
"Coming," came a sweet voice from inside.
After some seconds, a middle-aged lady opened the gate, with dark black hair and eyes of the same color, which were highlighted because of her extra fair skin color. She was the definition of a perfect Uchiha Kunoichi.
"Hae, you are finally here. Shisui too, welcome," Mikoto said, opening the gate for them.
"Umm, can you please let Yomi enter the house too?" Shisui asked.
"Oh! I am sorry, I totally forgot about that. Just give me a second," Hae said and went inside the house, and then an array around the house scanned Yomi, who was standing at the main gate.

Yes, these were the same arrays Kaida had felt when he first entered Sora's house. Being the clan head's home, this house was also secured with many arrays and seals and could easily withstand the barrage of ninjutsu from a Jonin-rank ninja if needed. After the array scanned Yomi, Mikoto came out of her house and said, "Don't just stand there, darling. Come inside."
Hearing that, Yomi also came inside and then said while bowing a little, "Thanks for letting me in, Mikoto-sama."
"Just 'Aunt' is fine. If you are Hae's family, then you are my family too," Mikoto said with a motherly smile.
"Thank you, Aunty," Yomi replied with a smile.
And all three of them entered the house. There were two boys sitting in the hall reading some books, though only the boy of the age of around 9 years was reading the book, and the boy who was around 4 years old was listening to his brother's recitation.
"Itachi, Sasuke, see who came," Hae said in an excited tone.
"Aunt Hae, you are finally here. You are going to live with us now, right?" Sasuke said while jumping from the sofa.
"Hey, how about we start with a greeting first," Itachi said, catching Sasuke mid-air.
Both of them bowed a little and said, "Welcome to our house, Aunt Hae."
"My cute little pumpkin, how are you?" Hae said while picking up Sasuke and then turned to Itachi and said, "You are growing quite fast. In just a few months since I didn't see you, you have already grown this much." Hae said this while ruffling Itachi's hair.
Itachi just smiled in return.
"How about greeting me like that too?" Shisui said to Itachi.
"Sure, once you start behaving like an adult, I will start treating you like one," Itachi said.
"Nah, I don't wanna," Shisui said nonchalantly.
Hae saw that Sasuke was looking towards Yomi, not knowing who she was.
"Sasuke, meet your big sister. Her name is Yomi. Go say hi," Hae said.
Sasuke went to Yomi shyly and said, "Hello, big sister. Nice to meet you."
"Same here, little brother," Yomi said, ruffling Sasuke's hair.
"Someone else was also going to come with you guys, right?" Itachi asked, remembering the message of four people coming to live with them.
"You must be looking forward to meeting with Kaida, huh?" Shisui said.
"Well, yes. I want to meet him after listening to his praise from both your and father's mouths. My father even said that he is more talented than me. Is that right?" Itachi asked a little curiously, which was his usual attitude before he was swept into clan politics by Danzo and Hiruzen.
Even though he was a little cold on the outside, he had a very warm and curious personality inside him.
Shisui listened to Itachi's question and then went into some thinking. After some time, he said, "If we compare you guys based on Genjutsu, then you are more powerful than him. In Kenjutsu, he is more powerful than you. In Ninjutsu, you are more versatile than him since he doesn't know many jutsu, but those he knew, he has already mastered them and can perform them with minimum hand seals.
"Now, he has some extra points in versatility which you don't have since he also knows medical jutsu and fuinjutsu as well, which you don't. But if I have to compare you guys, you are equally talented, just that you both excel in different fields," Shisui said.
Even though Shisui didn't say that Kaida was better than Itachi, Itachi still felt that he lost against Kaida. Being the clan head's son, he was supposed to be the best among his peers, and with the amount of resources he got every day, it should have been easy for him to do so.
So, becoming equal to his peer was actually not a compliment for him.
"I want to have a spar against him," Itachi said.
