Rebellion within Rebellion

Konoha: Uchiha Clan Compound: One week before rebellion start

" ! #$%^&* that Fugaku, he's going to get us all killed!" Kenshi says as he walks into an abandoned building. Kenshi isn't your average Uchiha Clan member, he was a veteran of the Third Shinobi World War and someone who cares greatly for his family, "I'm all for strengthening the clan, but not this way, if we rebel against the Leaf we'll be slaughtered!"

"But what can we do?" A younger looking teenage girl responds, "It's not as though we have many options." This girl is Hikari, Kenshi's daughter and a newly minted Chunin, "A majority of the clan is behind this idea, and those who aren't won't come forward."

Kenshi sighs, "I know, and that's what's troubling me. As long as Fugaku thinks the clan is unanimous in this, he's going to forward with this."

Hikari shakes her head, "Well, I know that my friends' families are against this, but that brings our number up to only twenty. Fugaku has at least two hundred behind him, not to mention anyone else he can talk into this, either from other families or from those who are simply skeptical. Either way, we don't stand a chance."

Kenshi nods, "Not to mention, I believe Itatchi has informed the Hokage about our actions."

"If the Hokage knows, then we might not even live to try and fight against the rebellion. We could be killed tonight for all we know." Hikari says in a depressed tone.

"Not if we provide him with an alternate solution." Kenshi and Hikari both turn with weapons ready to strike to see Mikoto standing in the doorway. Mikoto smiles softly, "I know that you weren't exactly expecting me, but I thought now would be as good a time to stop in as any."

Kenshi recovers his wits first, "Lady Mikoto, what can we do for you?"

Mikoto sobers almost instantly, "Stop pretending, I know you're not for the rebellion." Kenshi and Hikari tense upon mention and Mikoto sighs in exasperation, "Stop that, I'm against this as well. Fugaku is blinded by pride and not seeing that this rebellion is a disaster waiting to happen."

Kenshi nods once and both him and his relax their stances. He sighs, "What is this alternate solution you have Mikoto? I find it hard to believe that this solution is effective enough that it will prevent the wholesale slaughter of our clan."

Mikoto shrugs, "It should, it would involve giving up our pride though, so it would be a hard sell for most of the clan. Regrettably they think their pride as Uchiha is more important than the lives of them, their children and anyone they care about."

Kenshi sighs, "It was all the elders fault, all those old idiots care about is whatever power they can get their hands on and how that because we have the Sharingan we are sort of divine clan. And of course they spread that teaching throughout the younger generation."

Hikari shakes her head, "And Fugaku now thinks that Madara wasn't a traitor who went mad, but that he was betrayed by the Leaf by not being named Hokage and how we should rise up and take our rightful place as heads of the Leaf. Bull, Madara was a mad man who thought that the Uchiha were same Kami given gift and who was just pissed because no one would think about trusting the guy who stole his own brothers eyes."

Mikoto looks at the two, "I'm not going to lie. This won't be easy. Chances are, most of the clan will be labeled as traitors and killed, counted among that number may be us."

Kenshi and Hikari both look at each other then back at Mikoto and say in unison, "We're in."

Konoha: Hokage Tower

Hiruzen Sarutobi was disturbed by what he was hearing, "So, they're speeding up their plans to this time next week?"

"Yes Lord Hokage, Fugaku refuses to back down. He's starting final preparations for the rebellion, if everything proceeds as they are now, he'll be ready by then." An ANBU with a Weasel mask reported, "Not to mentioning that he seems to be interested in Satsuki's relationship with Naruto, almost as though he intends to use her to bring the boy into his hands. I believe that that he thinks he can use Naruto's tenant as a weapon against the Leaf."

Hiruzen sighed and then got up and walked to the window overlooking the village, "Itatchi, what do you think I should do? Danzo and the others are pressuring for me to strike now and simply obliterate the Uchiha clan."

The now revealed Itatchi glanced out the window, "Protect the village, that's all we can do."

Hiruzen nodded, "You're right. I'm giving you permission to…" He was cut off by a knock at his door. He motions for Itatchi to hide which said ANBU does in a quick burst of speed. He sits back down and looks at the door, "Come in." Who walks through the door surprises him, "Ah, Mikoto, Kenshi, Hikari, to what do I owe this pleasure?"

Mikoto takes a deep breath in order to steel herself for what she's about to say, "Lord Hokage, I'd like to report a crime, specifically treason."

Hiruzen raises an eyebrow, "And who has, or is, committing this crime?"

Mikoto looks him in the eye and says without flinching, "My clan."

AN: Well, what do you think? And before you get annoyed by me using two OC's, they're throw away characters. Filler characters, I don't intend for them to be anything more than that. Use them if you will, or simply just use your own. They're not main characters, just convenient characters for me to use for the purpose of having some type of meeting of Anti-Rebellion Uchiha.

Okay, enough of my rambling. Anyone interested in taking this idea up, PM for more details me or visit my forum that has the same name as this story.
