'We certainly didn't expect things to turn out like this.' Shisui told his best friend Itachi. They recently found out about the plans of their clan. The plans aren't very healthy and will cause many casualties. Shisui and Itachi whom are loyal to both their clan and their village don't like the ideas.

'I certainly do hope they will halt their plans.' Itachi didn't like the plans the clan made because it would hurt Sasuke and his friend. Itachi did not know that Sasuke didn't have friends but that is an entirely different matter.

'They probably won't but it doesn't hurt try now does it. Have you told the Hokage about the latest update yet? They seem to work a lot faster now.' Did Shisui just joke about the coup? It is not a phone or something like that.

'Yes I did, you were there remember?' Itachi didn't know what went on in Shisui's mind and he'd rather never find out but why doesn't he remember something like that?

'Oh, I thought–, well lets just go. We have a lot to do.' Yes they did. Itachi had clan duties and Shisui had an academy class reunion. Shisui had fun years and many friends at the academy; they always kept contact even after they graduated. Itachi's class was almost entirely gone. Many died on missions and others moved to other cities. His teammates included. Itachi envied Shisui because of that.

'See you tonight.' Itachi left the scene.

'Hey Sasuke, I was wondering if you would like to go on a date with me?' a girl from Sasuke's class asked the boy. This wasn't a strange occurrence; girl came and asked this exact same thing everyday. And as everyday he would politely refuse.

'I'm sorry, I can't, Father is expecting me.' He would always come up with some weird excuse. Todays was relatively normal but some times they were just so strange you wonder how the girls could believe such a thing. She left the scene. And Sasuke made his way home.

From around a corner a young boy was watching: his name is Naruto. Naruto isn't that loved in the village and he doesn't have any friends. He was jealous of Sasuke who was always invited to sit with others and asked on dates yet he always refused. If those people asked Naruto, he would surely say yes. He doesn't understand why Sasuke would say no.

Naruto walked away from the corner and went home. He had nothing to do, no one to see and didn't know what to do. When he went inside his small apartment he sat down made some ramen and tried to relax. But he soon found out he couldn't something was bothering him but he didn't know what. Maybe his Jiji would know. He stood up cleaned the table and went to his Jiji's house.

As Naruto arrived at Jiji's house he knocked on the door. The door opened and the one standing in the opening was Asuma.

'What can I do for you Naruto?' Asuma asked the young boy who was now looking down at his feet.

'Is Jiji home?' Naruto said still not looking up.

'I'm sorry Naruto; he will come home in about an hour. You can come inside if you want to.' Asuma told the boy, who was now crying.

'Now, now Naruto. What's wrong?' Asuma wasn't very good with kids but he knew he couldn't let Naruto stand there. He picked the boy up and brought him inside. He held him close to him and let the boy cry out.

'Naruto tell me, what's wrong?' Naruto continued crying. He didn't know why he cried but he didn't want to cry. He doesn't cry anymore, crying is for little kids and he's a big boy now.

'I–I don't know. I'm just sad.'

'Shh, it's okay to be sad. Just cry it all out.' There is nothing wrong with crying. It is annoying but when you're done it feels like something is lifted. Naruto continued to cry for another ten minutes, after that he began to calm down. After a little waiting Naruto dared to say something again.

'Asuma, why do you still live with your dad. Even I have my own apartment?' Naruto asked being brought back to his usual curious cheerful self.

'Well, uhm– it's complicated.' Naruto didn't really seem to understand.

'You are just too lazy, are you?' How did this little brat know he was too lazy to even leave the house? Some Nara would be jealous of his laziness.

'Eh maybe?' Asuma replied. This was so embarrassing.

'What's going on here?' a voice said coming from the door. Both Naruto and Asuma looked up and saw that Hiruzen had arrived.

'Whoa dad, I thought you would be gone for longer.' Asuma was surprised. This wasn't what he was expecting. Naruto on the other hand was extremely happy. He could now ask his Jiji what was wrong but there was one problem: he didn't feel like something was bothering him anymore.

'Jiji you're back. Do you know why Sasuke is rejecting all invitations to everything? I mean I would never say no to such an invitation. I just don't understand.' Well that was sudden.

'Well Naruto, Sasuke is part of the Uchiha clan. It's a clan were people don't like hanging out with others, few exceptions of course.' How was he going to explain the Uchiha clan to Naruto?

'I don't understand.' Of course Naruto wouldn't understand. Naruto doesn't understand why someone would want to be alone.

'Their practically a clan filled with assholes.' Well Asuma, that's one way to explain it but Naruto seemed to understand.

Suddenly Naruto started screaming. He grabbed unto Asuma. Tears came out of his eyes. Asuma grabbed unto Naruto hoping the boy would stop screaming soon. When Naruto stopped screaming he looked up with a black expression on his face, and just like last time he opened his mouth to say something.

'Our little bubble of happiness will be stolen of the power he needs, the weasel would have to do everything alone.' Again Naruto said something strange. Was it a warning, it could be but if it was why would it be told as a riddle?

Naruto blinked and the blank expression was gone. Everything was back to normal. The powerful air surrounding Naruto disappeared like the wind. The only things left from the strange show Naruto put on were the faces of the Hokage and his son. It happened again.

'Naruto you really don't remember anything you just said, right?' the hokage asked Naruto. The first time Naruto couldn't remember anything but that doesn't mean that he doesn't remember anything now.

'No–, I don't know what you're talking about.' Naruto doesn't remember a thing. He didn't do anything wrong did he?

'Well Asuma why don't you bring Naruto home, I need some time to think.' Asuma nodded and took Naruto's hand, signaling they had to go. Naruto looked back and waved at his Jiji and then left with Asuma.

Shisui walked into the woods. He would meet Danzo there and they would talk about the future of the Uchiha clan. The meeting place was a bit strange though. Why meet in a forest? Shisui was sure there were better places in Konoha to hold such an important meeting.

'So there you are Shisui Uchiha. I had expected you a little later but the sooner the better.' Danzo looked at Shisui and Shisui looked back. Shisui could sense other ninja close by. Why would Danzo bring his personal slaves to such a meeting? Something was not right.

'So what do you want to talk about?' Shisui started being careful. Who knows what Danzo could be planning?

'Well straight to the point it seems. Well I see you didn't come unprepared either. Even your friends helped you. Did you know I was going to try something?' Yes Shisui was prepared; he is a ninja after all. But what was he talking about; he hadn't talked to Itachi about the meeting. Shisui looked up and saw what Danzo meant, above him there was a crow circling and keeping an eye on him. Everyone knows Itachi summons crows. So Itachi did notice something was going on.

'Well it seems you didn't notice it either. That friend of yours it too smart for his own good. Well that really doesn't matter now, does it?' what was this man talking about. Shisui was searching for a way out of this situation. Unfortunately for him, there wasn't any. He now could only do one thing: run!

While he ran he did have to fight a couple of ROOT but that wasn't the problem. The problem was that Danzo magically seemed to be appearing from everywhere! Every corner he took, every tree he passed, Danzo was everywhere and it was seriously creeping Shisui out. After a while it was too much for Shisui, he had to stop. And he stopped. Turned around to confront Danzo who was now behind him.

'Just what is it you want. It's not peace for the Uchiha's right?' Shisui was pissed of. What was the problem with that man?

'No it isn't, I simply desire what is good for Konoha. And if that is annihilation of one clan that wouldn't matter. But to get rid of one you need power and I am simply an old aged man. I have no power anymore. You, a young man, do. And I would really appreciate it if you gave that power to me.' Danzo spoke. It was creepy. He wanted the sharingan, and Shisui knows that his sharingan has some special attributes. He wouldn't give it to that man. He loved his family even if some of them weren't right in their minds, they were just family.

'I would not give it to you, not in a thousand years.' Shisui said back. He wouldn't, he couldn't, and he shouldn't give it to Danzo. Enough reason not to do it right?

'Well if you do not want to give it, then I shall take it myself.' Wait what. That isn't a very good sign, right? Shisui tried to run but he soon noticed that he was surrounded. He tried to search for a way out but wasn't successful. He got scared, like extremely scared. He could die within minutes now, not exactly what he wants. Danzo is getting closer, if he doesn't find a way out soon; he is really going to die.

'You don't dare.' Shisui said hoping to earn himself some more time before Danzo would attack.

'Yes I do, I can probably find a way to cover it up so you don't have to worry about anything.' Yes he does. He is going to die. Die! Dying is the last thing he wants to do right now.

Danzo kept on getting closer. Slowly. Making Shisui nervous. That man really likes torturing people doesn't he? When Danzo finally reached Shisui, his ROOT appeared and held Shisui down.

'Well, well. I got myself an Uchiha,' Shisui did his best not to insult the man in the position he is in now. 'Sorry boy to keep you waiting. You can rest in peace soon.' Shisui is sure now. He hates that man.

Pain. That's what Shisui is feeling now. Danzo just took out one of his eyes, with his bare hands. It hurt so much. He was now going for Shisui's other eye. Shisui didn't want that to happen. Just no more, no more of that horrible pain. He screamed hoping it would just come to an end and that was when he noticed. Within reach was a small pebble. He picked it up and threw it towards Danzo, who had to dodge it. This created an opening for Shisui. Shisui stood up and ran as fast as he could. The only thing he could do now was running he hoped to run into Itachi soon. He knew Itachi was close but he didn't know were the boy was.

x.X.x

The hokage was sitting in his office. He couldn't really focus on his paperwork. What Naruto had said still bothered him. Last time it was strangely similar to what happened with the Hyuugas but that doesn't say anything now.

Hinata would have been the all-seeing princess of the moon. Would there again be something else said instead of the names of the people? Who could be the little bubble of happiness and who could be the weasel? Wait– weasel? Itachi! Could it be that Itachi is the weasel but then who could be the bubble of happiness.

'Hokage-sama did you send Shisui on a mission?' Fugaku came into his office. No he hadn't given Shisui a mission.

'No, why do you ask?'

'I was supposed to talk to him but he never showed up. I guess I would have to search for him somewhere else. Have a nice day Hokage-sama.' That last sentence of his seemed to be a little sarcastic but that could just have been the hokage's imagination. Fugaku left the room and the hokage was alone again.

So Shisui went missing. Shisui and Itachi are close. I wonder if Fugaku wanted to talk about that? Wait– Shisui. That was it. Shisui was the little bubble of happiness. Everything made sense now. But why would someone go after Shisui? That was a stupid question; his sharingan was the goal of course. But who would go after the sharingan, it could be anyone. Even other Uchihas would be pleased to have such a powerful tool in hands.

'I guess I will take a look at what Shisui is doing right now.' It was as simple as that. It seemed innocent enough but when Hiruzen found Shisui through his crystal ball he did not like what he saw. The poor boy missed one of his eyes. The hokage didn't wait another second and went out personally to find the boy. This could have ties with what was going on inside the Uchiha clan. He'd rather not have other people discovering what was happening there. He had to hurry though, who knows what Shisui is planning now.

x.X.x

'Shisui what happened to you?' Itachi finally found Shisui. Shisui had been running for minutes now and he was glad Itachi found him. He could now say goodbye in peace.

It was difficult, he could still stay alive in he wanted to but he knew he was going to be targeted again and suing Danzo is next to impossible, so that made him sad already. Leaving Itachi, Ayame and his other friends behind isn't easy either. They had made such good memories and he never wants to let go of them but if that is the only choice it doesn't matter.

'I was attacked and they took my eye.' Well even an idiot would see something like that but what Itachi had asked wasn't the most intelligent question in the world. And stupid questions get stupid answers.

'Who attacked and why would they take your eye? You should go to a hospital. This is not good, really not good.' Why was Itachi having a panic attack shouldn't Shisui be the one who should panic? It doesn't really matter anymore. He had given up. He always prided himself in being someone who would never give up yet here he is. He gave up on living. So he can rest in peace but things don't always go the way you planned them to go. In the distance came a figure. As the figure was approaching you could see that the figure was the hokage.

'Shisui you don't dare to do what you are planning now.' The hokage said and Shisui looked down. In a way he was happy the hokage came but on the other side he just didn't want it.

'Shisui you know that you will leave behind all of your friends if you continue with what you are planning.' Yes he knew, of course he knew but he had made the choice.

'If you just tell me who did this to you, I am sure I can get him in jail or something else.'

'No you can't' why couldn't he?

'Why?'

'It was Danzo.' That explained it. Danzo was one tricky target. If you wanted to get back at him you had to be smart. Hiruzen knew that Danzo would do strange things sometimes but this is just going too far.

'I can still find a way. And with one eye gone you aren't useless yet. We still need you, Itachi still needs you. Why are you giving up?' good question. Shisui himself didn't really know. There was this tiny voice in his head that managed to convince him that this was the only option.

'Itachi take Shisui and bring him to the hospital. We'll continue talking there.' They didn't have to talk for long. Shisui was back on track really quick. He was known to be fast after all. There was just one problem to be solved. What are they going to do with the Uchiha clan?

-And Danzo?
