Council Crack Down
Having the Hulk secured, the Hokage needs to visit the T&I in hope to get the full story. Normally he would have waited in his office, but this time both Naruto and over 300 ninjas were injured. It isn't something he can just sit idly nor forgiving such act, if it was an invasion or coming from a rouge ninja he can relate. However, the main culprit were his own people. While most of them were civilians but some were his own ninjas.
After today there will be changes, he promised himself and Konoha had better be prepared. Angered at what he had to see to his forces and his surrogate grandson he stormed to Anbu secure stations. It wasn't everyday that the leader of the village came into the secret Anbu sites the Anbus located at the entrance was lost what to do. However, seeing how angry the Hokage was they wisely stay out of its way. The Sandaime ignored the guards and continued his way to his trusted shinobi Ibuki. It is about time the interrogation expert deliver him his report, Ibuki had more than enough time to do his job. He wanted to know why he and his force had to spend half the day fighting a muscle bounded giant and more important how Naruto changed into that monstrosity.
Luckily it didn't take Ibuki long to crack the civilians, all it need was one look from the scarred interrogator. While the ninjas require a little more persuasive measures before they spill everything. Together with the findings from the newly discovered lab, it didn't take long before the Hokage to put everything together.
Based on what he can see from the lab, he can easily see it belongs to his traitorous student. It almost had his name written over it, especially it was the Sandaime that trained him. The way where everything is positioned and where equipments were stored the Hokage can easily recognize his student's work.
Though whatever he was making was destroyed in the mayhem but thanks to the state whatever Naruto was in. He can deduce what Orochimaru had been doing, thankfully to the remains of his notes the experiments were unsuccessful. As named "The Professor", he had his suspicion why Naruto the only survivor due to the early outburst of Kyubi's chakra. However, he won't make any assumptions until a medical report is given to him.
Once he is ready, he summoned his council and this time he will put them in their place. Unfortunately, for the inattentive ones they will be getting a waken up call. While the rest whom had seen the eyes of their Hokage, they were more prepared to whatever bombshell the Hokage will drop.
As expected, following the report of the incident the civilian council were ready to blame the boy for it. To bad for them, the Hokage had zero in on the loudest councilor and asked him how he came to this conclusion. Also to remind them that there are in addition 300 injured elites whom will be hearing his reason. As well as the person to explain to daimyo that in turn to the rest of the elemental nations.
Any false claims or half truths will result in embarrassment to the Fire Daimyo which in turn to the village. Thanks to the cautious warning from the Hokage, the councilor had seem to picked up on the underlining message. Whatever he says now will be brought against as evidence and put him on the stand.
Other councilors too also picked up the hidden message and too quieten down instead of throwing quick accusations. Again the Hokage remind his council that if they don't have any knowledgeable advice they better keep their month shut or be forever thrown out of any meeting. It seems that the message is quite clear, the Hokage will only listen to their advise and not order so they better watch their mouth for futurn reference. They may not have ninja training to see underneath the underneath, but they aren't stupid to get on the council seat so they sat and listen to what the Professor had to say.
Instead of the report, the Hokage went into a Historical background of Ninja villages. To most members of the council they were surprised about the tailed beasts because they were originally given to other nations by none other then the Shodai Hokage Hashirama Senju. The idea was to promote peace but instead it started the ninja wars that they knew in history. Also the fact that Konohagakure was labelled the strongest ninja village isn't because of the Hokages but the Kyubi. Konoha had always had possession of Kyubi since the first Hokage but due to mishap it was released.
Another correction before anyone can proclaim its danger, the Kyubi is not an animal it is a natural chakra form thus can not be destroyed. With that explanation the Sandaime brought out a clear jar and show them how sealing really work on the chakra conduct. Using ryo as Kyubi chakra and the clear jar as the child, the jar was filled with ryo. The purpose of a Jinchuriki is solely to hold the tailed beast and since it is mainly chakra the container himself can manifest its ability. However, like when humans first harvest fire it can be useful and also devastatingly harmful.
Before the council can voice their objection the Sandaime again thrown them another reality bomb. Truth is both Iwagakure and Kumogakure had already 2 Jinchurikis each. Iwagakure's Jinchurikis are both at least veteran jonin warriors because he had met them during the last war. In Kumogakure, one was the future Raikage's brother while the other is already a strong trained genin. To the horror of the council, both villages were opposing villages with well trained Jinchurikis.
For their information, their Yondaime Hokage too had encountered the Kumo brothers but it was a draw at the time. Also to note that Killer-Bee was still a Jinchuriki in training when he stopped the Yondaime from killing his brother. As Hokage pointed out some of the present councilors can testify against his words since they too were present at the time. They all agreed that Jinchurikis were quite resilient on the field. To the shameful looks on the civilian council, they should already know that because they had seen it in Naruto.
Looking back at the council room, the Hokage nodded seeing they finally understood the seriousness of the situation. Getting the rest of the council's attention he informed them however should the Jinchuriki finally killed or broken. It would be similar to the jar before him as he smashes the jar spilling the ryo all over. Like the Ryo spilt, the Kyubi chakra would dissipate but reform later. Though there hasn't been any documented event of such case. However, there had always been 9 tailed beasts in history and still has been since hence it is not difficult to deduce no one has yet to kill one. Thanks to the physical demonstration, the council seem to be more accepted to the explanation.
Finally coming back to the current incident he let them know that their Jinchuriki is now in coma. Whether he will wake up or not, the medics in charge was not able to safely give an answer for. He then gave his council the report of their discovery and why Naruto turn out as he did. The only good news was no one's gravely injured in that incident.
In the end, he added another warning to the civilians. The Hokage may not have directly accused them but they knew the silent order when they hear one. Whether Naruto Uzumaki wake up or not, the village will change their view of the Jinchuriki. Since the incident were started by the civilian members, thus all damages and medical bills will be paid by the civilian treasury. Some wanted to protest but the glare from the Hokage was enough to tell him they were already in deep shit. Before the meeting comes to an end, the Hokage told them they better wise up with this new information because he wouldn't send his ninjas to clean up their mess anymore.
Someone had tried to sneak in and finished the job but ended in failure. They were caught red-handed as they woke up from the knockout due to the giant turn in his sleep. It ripped the strap holding his hand and crushing the intruders knocking them out.
Had they read the report they would have realized their plan wouldn't have worked anyway. Orochimaru's drug was too potent it kills off any foreign substance entering its host. Besides they would have realized that their syringe is too weak to be used on the giant. Of course they were told that before they were sent for their interrogation.
Seeing how locking it down was useless, they had a few Anbu to watching the big kid. From what they have found, the kid was just sleeping and very unlikely he will start another rampage. Also, based on the remaining substance and notes left behind in the lab. The investigation team was able to piece together what they believed happened.
They too concluded that the formula that the snake sannin had developed were likely a failure. That is if it was used on any normal human beings. However, due to Kyubi in the Naruto kid, he was able to survive the initial process. This was also the reason why the demon's chakra was felt.
Not only that, a small dose would have made a super soldier as it was designed to do. Thanks to Kyubi's influence Naruto was able to absorb the whole tank hence his physique. He is literary pumped full of this stuff.
On the other hand, somehow and somewhere within Naruto his body is trying to adapt to the changes. Days and weeks of tests proves that his body is starting to stabilize. Hence, the reason for his unconsciousness as his body is still trying to adjust to the complete process. The once called professor guessed that it was probably the Uzumaki genes that is doing the work. After-all that clan is still a mystery just like the Rinnegan, especially with their longevity.
It may take weeks, months or even years to fully adjust to the changes. Sadly no doctor can conclude to the Sandaime when the blond will wake up or in what state he will be in.
Meanwhile, as the Hulk sleeps there had been a few more attempts. Sadly for their consolation, they were both successful and failure attempts. Successful to do what they wanted to do, but failure to kill it. It seems that the word invincible seems to have a meaning.
Some chunin had managed to infiltrate and tried to assassinate the sleeping giant. When the Anbu finally spotted him they were too late. Everything just stop when giant was stabbed. Pulling back his weapon to defend himself, they found their weapons were bent. The two guards also looked at one another with an unbelievable look.
Before they could do anything, the chunin took out another kunai and tried a few time hoping to penetrate its tough skin. That is until he was swag away like a fly and into the medical cupboard while the guards sweat-dropped. The sorry chunin had several syringes and scalpels logged in his face and body. They didn't even do anything, and it seems that they weren't needed anyway.
Of course, there were a few more cases after that. That's when they realized that this new Naruto is quite durable. Not that the Anbu stop protecting the giant but it was quite entertaining to see the assassin thought they had succeeded only to fail in the end.
