Chapter 2: Shocking truths

The sun slowly arose Minato was in bed next to Kushina his baby was in the cot next to him. Minato opened his eyes to see Kushina was next to him he put his hand on her head and ran his figures through her red hair. After a few moments looking at Kushina sleep he got up and remembered he had to go to the council chambers to discuss what Naruto's fate was and the events around Shinato's death A tear rolled down Minato's face his best friend had died for his son

He thought, "how am I going to explain it to Mira she thinks he is her father."

Minato slowly got up dreading what the council had to say and thinking back to Shinato's last words.

Minato thinking, "What has Shinato been up to that Itachi knows about. And why not trust info to Mira he thinks the world of her."

Kushina slowly awoke smiling she said, "Please just be a nightmare."

Minato whispered, "Sorry it wasn't but at least we have a son that we can love and care for. Sorry I have to go."

Kushina rolled over to see Naruto fast asleep in his cot. She smiled and drifted back to sleep. Minato finished getting dressed he flashed over to the council building

Minato turned around there was a massive hole in the wall around the village

He thought back to last night, "A lot of good ninja died that night Shinato one of them."

Minato walked into the room to see Saratobi, Danzo, Hiashi, Fugaku, Inochi and Shikaku along with the two elders all sitting around in a circle the room was dark with a podium in the middle. Minato walked over to the podium.

He Asked, "Why have you called me here?"

Danzo looked at Minato.

Danzo said, "Young Hokage we have called you here to decide what to do with the nine tail fox Jinjuriki Kushina's boy."

Hiashi asked, "He has a Name! Right Minato what is it?"

Minato said, "Naruto Uzumaki Namazaki."

Saratobi smiled said, "We should protect him by changing his last name to Uzumaki."

Minato retorted, "Good point I don't want my enemies going after him."

Danzo suggested, "We should enlist him in my special training from birth he would be a great asset to the village."

Fugaku Retorted, "No disrespect lord Hokage but some of the village might try to attack him being what he is, even if you are his father you can't protect him all the time right."

Minato smiled thinking, "Fugaku now were on the matter I actually want to talk about."

Minato Asked, "Yes I would like some help from the clans to protect the Naruto?"

Fugaku Shouted, "Uchiha will help protect him."

Danzo shouted, "NO one of your clansmen caused the nine tails to be released and attack!"

Hiashi shouted, "We stand by the Uchiha and we will help protect the Naruto."

Fugaku roared, "Shut up you can't prove it!"

Danzo Shouted, "Everyone saw its eyes. The Uchiha need to be punished."

Fugaku snarled venomously, "What besides being moved to a cornered area."

Shikaku said, "Our clan will stand by Naruto."

Shibi Nodded signalling he would help Saratobi slammed his fist into the desk he shouted, "I think for now we should end the meeting?"

Minato asked, "Fugaku can I have a word with you in privet please?"

Everyone left the council chambers besides the Uchiha clan leader.

Minato whispered, "Fugaku it was an Uchiha clan member I fort him along with Shinato his name is Madara Uchiha."

Fugaku Asked, "Thank you, for letting me know. Is there help I can be to you and your son?"

Minato said, "Just protect him. Also can you send me Itachi I want to talk to him."

Fugaku said, "I will summon him." Fugaku made a few hand signs and summoned a crow and sent it to find Itachi Fugaku smiled as a flock of crows arrived the crows vanished as Itachi appeared.

Fugaku whispered, "I will leave it at that now."

Fugaku left leaving Itachi and Minato to talk privately

Minato whispered, "Bring peace to the leaf and Uchiha."

Itachi asked, "How do you know?"

Minato looked at the ground and said, "Shinato he died his last words were the cryptic code and your name."

Itachi said, "I see and did you dispose of the body."

Minato said, "it's protected from reanimation due to the seal I used through him."

Itachi emotionless mask started to crack as struggled to hold back the tears rolling down his face. Itachi wiped the tear away from his face.

Itachi said, "The picture we took just before Sasuke was born three months ago... he finely died after everyone thought it was impossible... Mira... what... should I do."

Minato said, "To cry it shows you care for your sensei. He was a great ninja and a great friend. Tell her she will understand."

Itachi Whispered, "Meet me at the edge of the village in one hour I need to show you something lord Hokage."

Minato nodded. He walked out of the council chambers and flashed to his estate. Itachi vanished

Itachi

Itachi arrived at his apartment it was small apartment with a small kitchen, lounge and dining area all in one room on the left was his bed room and on the other side of the main area was the bathroom.

Itachi called out, "Mira are you here."

Mira walked out of the bed room only wearing a blue shirt with the Uchiha crest on the front.

She asked, "Itachi where is father?"

Itachi looked down as a tear rolled down his face Mira moved over to him and rubbed her hand on his cheek causing Itachi to look at Mira's sweet innocent face with blue eyes her black hear with four red streaks on each side.

Itachi whispered, "I'm sorry but... ... Shinato is dead. He sacrificed himself so Naruto Kushina's boy could live with a loving family."

Mira felt her knees gave way she fell forward crying as Itachi caught her and held her close to him feeling the wet tears go through his shirt. Mira felt tears land on her shoulder

She whimpered, "Father why?"

Itachi whispered, "He did it for a friend you know what he is like. The boy's name is Naruto Namazaki Uzumaki."

Mira said, "I guess it's our turn then we will protect him if it costs our lives."

She tilted her up and kissed Itachi on the lips, Itachi ran his hand down her back and pulled her closer and kissed Mira's neck causing her to make a pleasurable moan.

Itachi said, "I will tell you more later I have to show Minato Shinato's base."

Mira nodded as Itachi pulled away and vanished.

Minato

Minato appeared at the entrance to the kitchen. It was sparkling clean with an entire wall you can see through another wall was filled with cook books Kushina was busy stirring the simmering pot over the stove. She smiled as she removed the spoon from the pot.

Minato Asked, "Kushina are you ok?"

Kushina answered, "I am fine a little tired but fine Naruto is still asleep..."

Suddenly Naruto's cries were heard from the bed room."

Kushina and Minato went over into the room to see Naruto had woken up.

Minato looked out the window at the entrance of the estate to see a mob of people. Minato sighed and flashed away leaving Kushina to feed Naruto.

Minato appeared at the top of the gate looking around the estate for walls stretching around one mile away from the three story building. He noticed there were only people at the front gate trying to get in.

One of the villages shouted, "Lord Hokage!"

Minato Shouted, "Back off from these two let them live in peace."

Suddenly a villager threw a rock at Minato who easily dodged it as a member from the clans who agreed to protect Naruto arrived.

Hizashi whispered, "Hiashi would have come but Hanna isn't feeling well."

Shisui stood next to Hizashi along with a few other clan leaders.

Minato whispered, "Thank you all for coming."

Minato looked back at the crowed

Minato shouted, "Anyone who sets foot in the Uzumaki estate will be killed on sight as your Hokage I ask you not to try and attack Naruto every breath of his is saving the village remember that."

The crowed looked at Minato stone cold face and realized it was pointless to push forwards most of them left muttering while the others left quietly.

Minato looked at each member of every clan.

Minato asked, "Can you all go inside and talk to Kushina and make some protection for Naruto?"

Hizashi asked, "What are you going to do?"

Shisui looked at Minato and said, "It's to do with Shinato right?"

Minato nodded and flashed away.

Kushina

Kushina rocked Naruto gently in her arms as five people arrived in the room. Kushina smiled looking at all five of them arrived. Hizashi stepped out of the group.

Kushina asked, "Why are you all here?"

Hizashi answered, "To sort out a protection plan for Naruto until things settle down."

Inochi explained, "We found out mostly civilians are outraged while all the major clans are either not interested and will leave the Naruto alone or wish to protect Naruto and it seems where the five that wants to protect Naruto."

Shisui said, "Hizashi and myself are here on behalf of the clan leaders they can't make it at the moment. Fugaku told me whatever I sort out our clan will back it up 100%"

Hizashi said, "Same here."

Shikaku smiled and spoke, "it would seem that from corner to corner of the estate you could station one Hyuga there along with one in the middle of each wall and that covers open attempts...

Uchiha and Aburame one member with each Hyuga to deal with a full out surprise attack near the estate.

The Naara, Yamanaka and Akamici could put one of each clan on each wall. Their job is to circulate around the wall in three cells every half hour to scare away people who think there is an opportunity and if the Uchiha and Aburame are still trying to control the crowed they instantly call in Jonin or the ANBU and that's where civilians will be charged."

Choza said, "The chairperson of the civilian council will not like that one bit... Ms. Haruno."

Shisui said, "no disrespect Kushina but she was one of those who voiced Naruto should be killed rather openly before leaf village police took her away."

Kushina, "In the words of the Naara clan... to troublesome."

Everyone started to laugh and wave good bye they all vanished in a puff of smoke leaving Kushina to realize Naruto had fallen asleep sucking on her T shirt.

Minato

Minato arrived at the edge of the village to see Itachi the forest stretched around the Hokage monument and up into the hill. Minato looked around to see on the other side of the village the destruction the nine tail fox had caused.

Minato Asked, "So where are we going?"

Itachi whispered, "Follow me."

Itachi led Minato up a hill they came to a giant hole in the ground.

Itachi Whispered, "Down there is Shinato's secret base you have to use your kunai to open it."

Minato Smirked and said, "No normal ninja would be able to get down there without nearly killing them perfect Hiding place."

Itachi smiled

Minato threw a special kunai down to the bottom he placed one up the top so he could get back up.

Minato placed his hand on Itachi's shoulder and both went down the pit they arrived at the bottom to see a door Minato grabbed his kunai and inserted it into the door. The door swung open.

Minato and Itachi walked in to see a table some chairs on one side of the room had hundreds of scrolls on the other side it had some instant Ramen and some medical supplies."

Itachi walked over and pulled out a scroll that said, "Uchiha."

Itachi handed the scroll to Minato who read

"Itachi was sent to spy on the Hokage but Itachi is only giving the information that will not hurt the village.

Itachi wishes to find a way to resolve this peacefully my idea is we place him in as the fifth Hokage in order to relive tension between the two sides I know Itachi is too young so I suggest co Hokage until he is at a respectable age that Saratobi will agree with.

Itachi's best friend must be killed to gain the next version of the Sharingan but I have found another way. One must keep using Sharingan for at least 30 hours without breaking for sleep this causes the Sharingan to strengthen immensely in order to cope.

The tome in the Uchiha vault is false I want it to stay that way.

If you're reading this it means I am dead Please read the Hyuga scroll as well. Help Itachi find peace my plan should work.

Also I suspect Danzo has made many enemies for the village that one day might hurt us back. Check the rain"

Itachi said, "The medical supplies are a trap it will detonate the entire room killing the occupant and keep the scrolls safe."

Minato said, "Clever shit Shinato. One to set the room like that means all of these scrolls are important."

Itachi laughed and Retorted, "Even the scrolls are wired only me or Shinato can touch them otherwise they detonate the room. Shinato placed a barrier protecting the scrolls from both sides of the explosives."

Itachi pulled out the Hyuga scroll and handed it to Minato he started to read

"Breaking the family branches and combining them all to one family Hiashi and Hizashi wish me to unite the two families.

By altering the X to a + you fix the seal the eyes will disintegrate on removal even if the Hyuga clans men is still alive the new seal also stops people using it to punish other Hyuga members."

Minato smirked

Itachi looked up away from another scroll and smiled

Minato whispered, "He gave me instructions on changing the seal and everything, Itachi what he said before makes me realize that you would make a great Hokage so for now we will keep this a secret I will give you some training in secret for this two years' time we will put you up for Hokage next to me."

Itachi smiled and said, "No war will break out. Thank you for understanding there some more clan scrolls here."

Minato said, "Thanks I will come back later let's leave."

Itachi and Minato both walked out Minato left his Kunai in the room and shut the door Minato started to put a new seal on the door and both of them flashed up to the top of the pit.

Minato said, "Shinato is right you would make a very Good Kage when you're old enough."

Itachi smiled and said, "Tell Hiashi the main and lesser branches come from the same tree both need to show Unity."

Minato nodded and flashed away.
