Hello guys, I decided to update faster than planned, cuz I got a review already! :D
Flashback:
"It seems that I can now tell you the truth. Let's start from the beggining. The Uchiha clan were disappointed with their role in the village that they had co-founded. The Hokage had even banished them to their own district, and while it looked like this was a honour, he just wanted to isolate them from the rest of Konoha. Sarutobi did so, because he had sensed the intent of a rebellion while speaking to my father, Fugaku Uchiha. By isolating the clan he wanted to make sure that if an uprising really happened only the Sharingan users would join it. But he was wrong. Up to this point, my father was one of the only members that wanted to rebel. But when the Uchiha's were given their own district, Fugaku used it for his plans. He convinced them that the Hokage was scared of losing his power to the Uchiha, and that that fear was the reason he isolated them. More and more clan members got angry at Sarutobi and joined the rebellion. At that time I was a in ANBU. My father thought that I was a spy for the Uchiha, but in reality I reported all that I got to know to the Hokage and Danzo over here. Soon the situation was to much. My superiors told me of my orders. They were to kill the whole Uchiha clan and by that prevent the rebellion, which would have lead to many more deaths and the probably to the fall of Konoha. I did all that I was ordered except one thing. I didn't kill my brother Sasuke. After the massacre I joined the Akatsuki and became a spy for Sarutobi."
End of flashback
All of the councilors, except of course Danzo, were very shocked. Even Shikaku (AN: Shikamaru's father), who had figured out something wasn't right about the Uchiha massacre, didn't suspect this.
"How do we know you haven't made up all of this?" Shikaku asked.
Itachi was about to reply, but Danzo was faster.
"Because I can confirm it. Everything that Itachi has said is true. I didn't tell all of you, because Akatsuki would have found out and that would have been the end of Itachi as a spy for our village," he said. " Itachi, why did you kill your brother? I thought that you spared his life because you loved him to much to kill him?"
"Because recently Uchiha Madara joined the Akatsuki, or at least someone that can control the Kyuubi, knows the truth about the massacre and has the Sharingan. He holds a grudge against Konoha, so I knew that if I let Sasuke kill me Madara would tell him the truth. Then Sasuke would have directed his revenge against Konoha and with the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan he would have become a dangerous enemy to the village. I had to choose between my brother and Konoha, and I chose Konoha."
The councilors didn't speak, because they were stunned after getting to know the truth about Itachi's devotion to Konoha.
"Itachi, you have to wait for someone to become Hokage before your crimes can be forgiven. In the meantime you will be in prison. Take him out" Danzo said, because he knew that even with his influence he couldn't pardon Itachi.
"Wait. Why don't we make Itachi the next Hokage?" said Shikaku, to everyones shock.
This was enough to wake up the councilors from their shock and they made an uproar.
"How can a criminal become Hokage?!"
"We would become a laughing stock for the other villages!"
"This is unacceptable!"
But not everyone was against the idea. Itachi was currently the strongest ninja in the village, if not in the world, and many of the councilors liked the thought of him as Hokage.
"SILENCE," Danzo shouted. Again, the councilors obeyed him. "Let's vote."
Itachi had been quiet the whole time.
The bandaged man whispered something to one of his ANBU, who then shunshined out of the room. After that the voting began. All of the councilors got a special paper. It could only be written on with the given councilors blood to prevent fakes. Then the votes were collected by the most trusted ANBU and thrown into a box. After that the box copied itself ten times and ten people got into the room. Then they counted the votes, and If all of them got the same number then the voting was accepted.
The room was filled with tention. All of the councilors were waiting for the results of the voting. After some time, they showed on the screen:
For: 36
No vote: 5
Against: 37
Thanks for reading the chapter guys! Sorry that they are so short, I am not used to writing so much. See you!
