3 years later
Danzo had, through no small amount of subterfuge and political maneuvering, acended to the throne of hokage. Tsunade had been banished for being a demon lover, a new criminal charge concocted by the council he now controlled. Others had left konoha with her, sharing in her sentence. Shizune, Hinata, Tsume and Hana Inuzuka, Shikamaru, Choji, the Ichiraku's, and a host of other ninja,
Yet…..he still had nightmares, all containing the same haunting music, of which lyrics directed at him and konoha. We join him in one of his more…..disturbing dreams.
Danzo's dreamscape
Danzo was in the hokage tower, doing paperwork…..when he heard a voice, that same haunting voice from all those years ago"who is innocent, no one is innocent, who is innocent"
Looking around, Danzo tried to locate the voice. When he turned around him, he saw him, or rather the entire wall was black, holding the same eyes, the same sicking grin that was upon the face of that demon all those years ago
"who is innocent, no one is innocent, who is innocent"
"Show yourself demon" a paniced desperation came over him…..so he ran like a coward, only to find that he wasn't moving, no, he was being pulled toward the maw of the demon. "Who is innocent?
Is it relevant in the world today?
I shake my head in disbelief
The killer walks again
Freed by evil men in their dark charade
"This can't be happening"Danzo was afraid, the demon had come to collect his soul. His mind was breaking. His body long since curled up into the fetal position, he continued to listen to the song, the haunting melody, straight from the maw of the demon, as he fell through its maw and into the void.
"You've been taught all your life
That truth is easy to hide
You'll face your judgement another day
And suffer eternally"
The Hokage's Office
Danzo awoke with a start, sweat drenching the paperwork upon the desk, unaware of the fading, sickly smile on the wall behind him.
