-NOTE- Hi! I guess I should introduce myself, I'm Jon, or Jongygy, and I'm a new writer. This will be my first story, as it will be with my partner and beta reader IMyoIMYO. This will be a NaruSaku, but the plot will revolve around Danzo, and maybe have a little fluff for other pairings. I'm not quite sure how much Japanese I'll be able to put in, but I'll do my best. Reviews would be great, but I'll continue the story regardless of them. There may be a sequel to this story.

Danzo's Twisted Will
"...and with that, I accept the position of hokage!" Tsunade proclaimed, shooting a glance at Naruto as the shinobi and villagers gathered there erupted in a frenzy of cheer.
"Hehehe, So the old hag took the job, eh?" Naruto snickered, earning a smack to the back of the head.
"Awww, Sakura-chaaan, what was that for?" said Naruto, now looking towards his pink haired teamate. Seeing her cold glare, he immediately regretted his words.
"Baka! Show some respect for hokage-sama!" Sakura screamed, before turning slightly to Sasuke in determination to see approval. He grunted softly in response, turning away from the female.
From Naruto's strange perspective, held firmly by the collar and hovering dangerously over the edge of the stadium wall, he craned his neck to see the one he saw as the 'most beautfullest' person in the Ninja World. The blonde knucklehead smiled warmly, despite his position. He only hoped someday that affection was his, and knew he would return it.
Once the pinkette saw the cold glint in her crushes charcoal eyes, she whimpered, pulling Naruto back onto the platform they shared. She glanced Naruto's way, but then snapped her head fully in his direction, peering at his dazed and loving expression. She blushed slightly, knowing that Naruto was devoted entirely to her. "What will we do with you, Naruto." Sakura asked herself.
Naruto turned away, confused, from the girl he loves, to his sensei. "What are you gonna do, Kakashi-sensei?" he asked.
The jounin slid his hand into his kunai pouch, digging out his prized possession. Revealing it to the genin, he giggled out an answer. "Porn."
The blonde shinobi rolled his eyes, before proclaiming his departure to his oasis, Ichiraku Ramen.
Kakashi and Sasuke sent each other impatient glances, and team seven jumped away from the village stadium. Naruto cocked his head in Sasuke's direction, quickly catching up with the raven-haired boy. "Where you going now, Teme?"
"I've got to train, I'm not Powerful enough!" Sasuke yelled in reply, subconsciously forming a chidori as he ran off towards the nearest training grounds. Naruto shook his head. The boy he called rival was always training, determined to surpass his brother.
Sasuke's evil older brother had come to the place where Naruto and his teacher, the toad sannin and super-pervert Jariaya stayed. Sasuke, in a stroke of bad luck, happened to be there as well, and his brother Itachi quickly pointed out Sasuke's weakness.
Since then, the boy Naruto thought of as a best friend has been cold, consumed by hate and darkness. Naruto stopped in his tracks, shook out of his thoughts. He stared at the faces carved into the mountain before him, enjoying the solemn silence of the hokage monument. He grinned at the previous hero's of Konoha, before shouting his goal to be hokage to no one in particular. Naruto sustained his grin as he bounded off in search of ramen.

The silver haired jounin strolled casually, His nose pressed to the pages of the latest icha icha volume. "...then Kenta leaned into Aiyaka, planting kisses on her face and upper body, until finally coming to the lush, soft mounds..."he mumbled, stopping suddenly to sense a familiarly high chakra level before him.
'Hm? hokage's ANBU?' he questioned, looking forward lazily.
The hooded shinobi spoke through his porcelain mask, choosing to ignore the question. "Hatake Kakashi, hokage-sama demands your immediate attention. Gather your team, and report to her immediately." he spoke, relaying the hokage's message to the scarecrow shinobi.
Kakashi took off, speeding for the place the unpredictable shinobi frequented. he hopped off the roof of a low building, peering into Ichiraku's.
The jounin walked in, and scraped a stool across the floor to where Naruto sat, devouring the last few noodles of his thirteenth bowl of the beautiful substance. Kakashi sighed, how could he eat so much of one type of food?' He answered himself, however. 'The boy is hated, kicked out of almost every restaurant. He eats like this because he doesn't know when he can eat next.'
"A miso bowl for me, thanks" Kakashi said, putting the depressing thoughts out of his head. He gave hid one eyed smile to the girl across the counter. Ayame walked off into the back of the shop, to give the order to her father, who was frantically mixing ingredients for another batch of Naruto's soup.
Naruto glanced up from the side of his bowl, before setting it down with a loud clang and turning to speak to his Jounin-sensei."Hey Kakashi, what are you doing here!" The blonde screamed, turning to face the older man.
"Not. So. Loud." Kakashi winced, but then shook it off as Ayame set the steaming bowl down. Kakashi proceeded to wolf down the soup, while informing the blonde genin of the current situation. "Im here because Hokage-sama requested our presence. You're to find the rest of the team, and meet me at Hokage Tower."
Naruto glanced up at him, shocked by the tone of the usually laid-back Jounin. "A-alright, ill get on that right away" he choked out. "Wait, where are you going, sensei?" Naruto asked the older shinobi.
Kakashi mumbled something resembling hokage, and then vanished in a swirl of leaves, leaving a confused Naruto to get his bearings. He didn't stay off balance for long, as a thought came to mind, putting the whiskered boy in high spirits. A fox like grin crept onto his face. Naruto dropped a the money for his meal on the counter and thanked Ayame for the food. He then walked outside with the grin on his face, his arms slung carelessly behind his head. 'Im going to find Sakura-chan first, and spend some time alone with her.' he thought, in pure bliss at being alone with the person he loved.
'Hm, maybe she's with Ino?' Naruto mused as he raced around the village, trying to spot Sakura. "Hah! I wonder what granny wants our team for anyway!" Naruto thought out loud. He regretted it, because of a certain Uchiha who overheard his hollering while brooding. Sasuke leapt onto the street where his blonde companion traveled, grunting a greeting his way.
While Naruto ran forward, raking his brain for a thought to where his pink haired friend might be, a familiar grunt shook him violently out of his thoughts, making him trip over himself, sliding across the dusty road face first. He immediately got up in arms, looking for the Uchiha troublemaker. "Sasuke!" he yelled, seeing his friend and rival walking loosely towards him.
"Sasuke! Why now of all times! I could have made Sakura-chan love me!" Naruto pouted.
"Hn. I wouldn't mind, usuratoncatchi, but I don't think a dobe like you has a chance." Sasuke said, smirking the whole time.
"Teme!"
"Dobe!"
"Gah! We have no time for this. We need to find Sakura-chan and meet up with Kakashi and Tsunade-baachan." Naruto stated, dismissing the argument with a wave of the hand.
"Hn. I saw her heading north a while ago." Sasuke said, sparking an idea in Naruto's mind.
"Oh! North! That's where her favorite garden is, lets go!" Naruto shouted happily.
He and Sasuke started off, running to the place they assumed Sakura was. Sasuke couldn't help glancing at his rival, seeing him getting worked up at the thought of seeing the female of their group. He couldn't understand why Naruto becomes so strong thinking of the kunoichi, after seeing him take on Gaara, determined to save her from the sand monster.
"Naruto, how are you so str..." he started, but realized that Naruto had pushed ahead of him. 'Maybe, just maybe, hate isn't the key to power.' he thought, pushing the constant thoughts of his older brother from his head. The Uchiha cracked a small smile, before pursuing his friend.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Sakura Plopped down in beetween a row of tulips, deep in thought. She was depressed, realizing that now, a relationship with Sasuke was farther than ever. She had tied with Ino in the chuunin exams, and considered that worse than a loss. how could she impress him by losing? 'Hm, he seems more... distant lately. I don't quite understand why, but I think Naruto may know.' Sakura thought.
The pinkette flopped down on her back, looking at the passing clouds. 'no matter what, Sasuke will be mine.' She said, obsessing over the dark genin.
Sakura heard incoming footsteps and pulled herself up, looking around to see what was coming her way. Ever since Orochimaru attacked, guard has nearly doubled to support the rebuilding village. No, it could'nt be an enemy. "Sakura-chan! Hey, come here!" shouted Naruto, smiling from ear to ear, ahead of an indifferent Sasuke, staring blankly at the sky with arms folded in front of him. Sakura hopped to her feet from the previous sitting position, and walked over to her teammates.
"Hi Sasuke-kun." Sakura greeted as cutely as possible, looking down and batting her eyelashes. Sasuke scoffed, amused by her attempts. Naruto looked dumbfounded. "um, Sakura-chan, I called you." he said, trying to snap her gaze from Sasuke.
Sakura looked at Naruto, with fire in her eyes and venom dripping from her voice. "What is it, Naruto?" she said darkly, stepping forward threateningly to ensure he gives the right answer.
"D-don't hurt me, Sakura-chan. Tsunade-baachan wants us." he said, quivering from fear at the pinkette before him. Naruto always found it strange. He could bad-mouth the strongest of foes, but a fierce look from his teammate could make him nearly soil his pants.
"Oh, she does?" Sakura asked, completely changing from her earlier mood.
"Yeah, and Kakashi-sensei went on ahead. We should hurry." Naruto urged, Wanting to find out what was so important as soon as possible.
"Well, lets go then." Sakura agreed, running ahead of the two boys. Sasuke and Naruto met each others glances, before rushing to catch up with Sakura. The trio ran across rooftops, speeding towards the center of Konoha, where Hokage Tower stood.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Kakashi hoisted himself onto the highest ledge of the hokage's tower. He usually added chakra to his feet, and climbed up horizontally, but he decided to do it the old fashioned way for a change. Stepping forward, he made his way towards the large window that framed the hokage's office. Years before, Kakashi learned how to open the window from the outside, and had used that for instant access to the hokage. To his knowledge, Jaraiya was the only other ninja that used that entrance.
"Crash!" came the loud noise from inside Tsunade's room, alerting Kakashi to a possible danger inside.
The jounin yanked his forehead protector up, revealing his second most valuable possession, his sharingan. Now primed for any sudden assaults, Kakashi walked tentatively across the ledge, peeking into the office inherited by Tsunade. His visible eye widened, and he twisted back just in time to see an ornate chair fly at him, shattering the glass window, and plunging into the street below. Kakashi thought about villagers below, but recalled that they didn't frequent these parts of town, and the only danger would be to any inexperienced genin, caught off guard.
'The hokage could be in danger,' Kakashi reminded himself, shrugging off other worries as unimportant. He poked his head in, only to hear the last part of a heated argument, Tsunade bellowing a few choice words at the bandaged adviser and chief counsel member, Danzo.
Danzo himself, however, remained quiet, retreating into the shadows.
Kakashi stepped in through the broken window pane. "H-hello? What did I miss?" he asked, hoping to be enlightened to why Tsunade would get this upset with her adviser. "Manipulative lowlife scum..."Tsunade Mumbled darkly, turning to welcome Kakashi. "Hello, Kakashi." Tsunade greeted lifelessly.
"Hokage-sama, are you alright?" inquired Kakashi. "I'm fine, but that... that Danzo infuriates me! How could Sarutobi-sama stand him!" the godaime exclaimed.
At that moment, however, Naruto burst through the doors to the large office. "Baa-chan, whaddaya want!" Naruto screamed, wondering why team seven was summoned by the hokage.
Tsunade's eyes twitched as she rubbed her temples with her fingertips. "Great, another pain to deal with." Tsunade mumbled, thinking of the many headaches that lay in store for her as Konoha's hokage. "Fine, I'll tell you, but you may not like what i have to say." Tsunade started.
"I am sending team seven on a mission." Tsunade stated, dropping her voice down to a whisper. "Some of you may not make it back alive."
