Negi walked out of the Hokage's Tower the normal way, through the front doors. Scowling, he headed in the direction of the hospital. He knew it; it was official, the council were evil...and incompetent. Well, most of them. Not saying he wasn't(evil not incompetent), just for an entirely different reason...anyway as he reached the hospital front doors, he couldn't help but chuckle as an evil grin spread across his face.

Flashback

As the monthly meeting began, it was slightly tense. Everyone knew what was to be the true agenda of the day, but there were protocols to go through first. Like the village budget. The civilian budget to be more exact, nothing to do with the military one. It was the same as usual, more markets being opened for the various civilian needs and whatnot, which brings more economy to the village. Hopefully. It didn't really affect the Shinobi council though. They have money in spades, no matter how small their clan is. It's hard to find a poor shinobi, unless the country itself is poor, then that's another subject altogether.

As the both trivial but important reports were done(which included construction, funding for schools, etc...) from the civilian council, The Shinobi council started on their own reports of their clans, from money to possible prodigies. Though nothing really important. Clan secrecy and all. Fortunately, it was time for the discussions/debates. The first one was...

"What should we do with the 'last' Uchiha?" A council man ask. The council immediately burst into whispers. Negi only groaned, knowing where this was going. Kakashi patted Negi on the back sympathetically, well, in a half-hearted sort of way. The bastard was still reading his porn, with his right eye covered up with his headband. "Kakashi, what-"

Sarutobi's Ki caught off all chatter in the council, even Negi. "Suggestions?" It seems as if the third wasn't in the mood for meetings today. Most of the council picked up on that and decided to word themselves carefully. Less the caught in The Professor's ire.

"I propose the young Uchiha to be moved and integrated into the Hyuuga Clan, we are distant cousins." Hiashi said, with a minute amount of disdain at the cousin part.

"Unfortunately, Hiashi Hiruzen countered, "it wouldn't prove beneficial to the village for a...Uchiha Hyuuga, if you get my meaning." Hiashi's raised eyebrow showed that he didn't, well at least fully, so Negi intervened and explained.

"In other words, Sasuke, descendant of the red eyed technique stealing bastards," here the civilian council glared at the Namikaze as some of the shinobi present coughed to hide their snickers, "Uchiha wouldn't look right only knowing Taijutsu. While funny as that would be, an Uchiha only knowing how to fight with a technique he couldn't even use effectively, it would be counter-productive for the village." Hiashi, and most of the Shinobi council nodded their heads in agreement. Hiashi though also sighed. "In all honestly, I didn't even want to integrate him into the clan. More of a 'suggestion' from the Hyuuga elders in all actuality." Again, the Shinobi council nodded their heads in agreement, solemnly this time, while the civilian council was confused. As always when it comes to true shinobi matters.

Negi joked, "Elders, who needs them." He was immediately glared at by the Elders, while Sarutobi stabled his hands together, to hide his grin. Homura Mitokado, one of the elders questioned Negi. "Well than, Namikaze, what do you propose we do with the last Uchiha?" He wasn't expecting an answer, and was surprised when he got one.

Negi closed his eyes and sighed, stapling his hands together over his mouth like the Third. "What we need, honestly, is a weapon over the other villages." That truly shocked everyone, though he did get Danzo's interest. The civilians though were getting into an uproar about turning their future golden boy into...into...such a vile thing like a weapon. The Shinobi council though, they knew Negi closer than most. For one whose beliefs aren't as idealistic as his adopted father, he was still humane. Obviously he had something planned. And he did, but no one knew how far he was in his planning.

"Wooo woo woo, before you guys try to persecute me and hang me for treason," here he snorted quietly, "you have to think of it clearly." Everyone grew silent, waiting for him to continue. If you got to compliment Negi Atsui Namikaze, is that he can hold a room.

"First off, all shinobi's are weapons of the Hokage, to do what he wants. Of course there are some rules to it, like trying to force a kunochi to enact scenes from Ichi Ichi Paradise. You just can't do that...right?" All the male shinobi's looked at Hiruzen questionably, and was that...hope? in Kakashi's eyes? While the Kunochi's were glaring at him, as if daring him to say he could do that. Poor Sarutobi, he had the decency to blush at the thought and pale at the glares, somehow in his old age, he was able to do both at the same time. Coughing, he shook his head in denial, lowering his hat to shadow his eyes.

The male shinobi discreetly pouted, didn't want the Kunochi to come after them if they showed they were perverts. Only Kakashi sighed wistfully. "Uh, right...anyway, I'm not saying becoming an emotionless being. I'm just saying...powerful. Doesn't mean the brat won't be needing conditioning. But that's not either here or there."

Negi stopped, looking at their reactions. The civilian council were placated, even pleased at his proposal. Probably already having grand ideas of having a Uchiha god, protecting their village. Unlike the civilians though, the Shinobi council wasn't as trusting. While they didn't like the idea of having a powerful Uchiha in their midst, they also weren't as gullible as the civilians. Something wasn't right about Negi. He's acting completely different from the meeting last week were he denying any opportunity or...anything to do with the Uchiha. The Elders and the Hokage were in the same boat with the Shinobi council.

"This village is getting lax. Shinobi included." He quieted anybody's protest with a look. Twisting his face into a look of disdain, he continued. "Recently, I've had to detain 3 of our Jōnin. From what I've seen and heard from their conversation, they were going to rape and then later sell the Kyūbi vassal into a slave ring. I even caught them in the act. Lucky, I stopped them before penetration, but if I was one second later..." Every female was emitting KI. Even the civilians. While they didn't love nor like the Kyūbi vassal, didn't mean they promote rape...on women. On men? Fangirls. Enough said.

"Aside from that, the three Jōnin, supposedly strongest of our Ninja force, not including Anbu, were taken down with relative ease. Yes, you can say it was because I'm powerful or whatnot, but we didn't use any techniques that would lead to death. Even still, it was pathetic. What we need is powerful Shinobis. Note the plural(though it's probably not a word). What I propose is a team instead of some one on one apprenticeship."

As the councils mulled over this, Tsume Inuzuka surprisingly question him. Surprisingly because she's usually quiet during council meetings. Not one for talking, more for action. "So, who are you thinking to be the team-mates for the gaki anyway? You thought that far, right?"

Negi chuckled, the council grew quiet once again. Everyone wanted to know who he would pick. Even the Aburame head turned to him in anticipation. Another thing the Namikaze had, the ability to excite people. Immensely. "Why...the Kyūbi brat of course." He said it as if he was commenting the weather, but in a dramatic fashion that would likely cause an uproar in the council meeting. It did of course.

Sarutobi grinned. He knew exactly what the Namikaze was planning now. Truly, he couldn't expect anything less really. Negi was known not only for his prowess on the battlefield, like his father, but also his handling of the council. This was just one example, and Sarutobi wasn't going to stop him.

Before the civilians could deny him anything. Shikaku questioned his idea. "Troublesome, but why Uzumaki? Really, I'm curious."

Negi smirked behind his hands. "Simple, Uzumaki is the container of the Kyūbi. The Kyūbi is known for it prowess. It's benefits to her would be at least, high stamina, high chakra levels, healing of astounding speeds etc. She would be...the perfect sparing partner. If they would become rivals, Sasuke would want to match all her high points. He would train to have higher stamina, train to boost his charka levels, chakra control. In reality he'll be in part, training himself into the 'perfect' shinobi. And not only will he become stronger, she'll become stronger as well, and then he'll become stronger. In the end, those two will become rivals and not only that, but Sasuke will be able to match the Kyūbi container. The only person to be able to stop her if she does become berserk in some way." On that note, Negi sat back, watching the council converse. Really, the plan was soo grandiose, that it would seem to likely it would fall apart...

...but it was brilliant. And plans much more grand than that has been given the stamp of approval in the council. And that was what he was working on. In this event, since really, the Uchiha clan was no more, it was a civilian decision then the approval or denial stamp by the standing Hokage.

The plan really said that Mu Uzumaki would become the, in a sense, punching bag, of the Uchiha. And that was the only thing the civilian council saw or rather heard. The Shinobi council didn't really have much to say about it. Out of their jurisdiction, and because of what Negi said about a Hyuuga Uchiha, there wasn't a chance any clans, especially bloodline clans, were going to be given the Uchiha. Well, the only clans that could really take in the Uchiha was the Sarutobi and...

"I propose to take them in." Danzo spoke up for the first time in the meeting. He couldn't believe his luck really. The blue haired Namikaze just relatively gave him the Kyūbi and Uchiha for his uses. It was too good to be true. No really, it was too good to be true.

"Eh? Danzo? You want to train them? But...you only have one arm. You can't train kids with only one arm and eye, no offense Kaka-nii." Kakashi just waved him off and continued reading. His headband on his left-eye this time. "I mean, unless you have some group of people who could train the both of them that we don't know about, it isn't practical." Danzo glared at him, but let it pass. Ne was hidden organization only known to a select few, unfortunately most of the council, whether civilian or shinobi, weren't those few. Out right saying you have a hidden force of shinobi under your command would be suicide, politicly and literally. If he had his choice, he would have had the Namikaze assassinated long ago, unfortunately sending his Ne against him was suicide and a waste of resources in the end, especially under his protection.

The Aburame head, Shibi Aburame, pushed up his shades. "And who would you believe to be able to train the two of them?" Instead of answering, a civilian council man shouted out. "The Namikaze should train the honourable Uchiha! And he would be strong enough to take down the demon if it gets to strong!" Negi flared his chakra directly towards Sarutobi to stop him from killing the guy from a heart attack with his own KI. Getting the Third's attention, he only shook his head at him. Danzo caught on to what was happening, and when he was going to try and stop them...

Putting on a show, Negi answered. "Unfortunately, it seems I'm the only one who could truly train Sasuke. I guess...I accept." And with that, it was settled. Both Sasuke and Mu would be under him to train.

It went like clockwork. Because of the mess in the Uchiha clan grounds, it was un-liveable. So he would be living with Negi, as would Mu and the third yet undecided member of the soon to be Neo Team 7. As the Civilian council left, feeling themselves smug for getting the Uchiha the best training, the room only held the Shinobi council, the elders left as well, who were remaining quiet, until Sarutobi started laughing. The rest of the council laughed with him, well some smirked while others chuckled.

"Ah, as sharp tongue as ever Negi. Council meetings come out much easier with you around." The laughing quieted down. Chuckling to himself Negi answered to him. "Do you expect anything less? The civilian council are easy to manipulate. It's a shame, they use to be such a challenge before the Kyūbi attack. Now you just say the right words, and you can have them giving you their family riches and even the clothes off their backs. But really though, not to be disrespectful but, our ninjas are getting lax in their training. I think being the strongest village has gotten to their heads."

Shikaku nodded. "Unfortunately your right. With the Kyūbi attack, and even the recent Uchiha Massacre, we've still been lazy. I have a feeling there might be an up and coming war on the horizon." Inochi and Chouza nodded to their friends point. Inochi continued. "With the reports of Iwa strengthening their forces and even Ame closing down, it screams trouble. Not to mention that new village popping up out of nowhere. Sound was it?"

Sarutobi nodded and looked towards Negi. "Yes well, we have other things to finish up. Who will be the third member, Negi?"

Said ninja sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck. "Uh, well, I didn't really think that far specifically. In all honestly, I was planning to check out any potential or lack their of at the Academy for this month. In that time I'll be training Mu, then Sasuke." Negi stood up and started collecting his notes on the meeting. "What I'm looking for is somebody that doesn't have much, really, a civilian wanting to be ninja. So no clans, since clans will be set in their ways." He said regrettably. The council nodded in understanding. They didn't want to give up their heirs anyway.

As the council left, leaving only the Third and Negi, Sarutobi instantly glared at him with barely controlled KI. "You didn't set that up, did you?" Negi instantly denied it. "Really, it was just circumstance. I didn't expect something like that to happen. It was...a balance of good luck and bad luck. Good luck that she is now under my care, bad luck...well it's kinda obvious. Hopefully she doesn't get too affected from it, though I wouldn't be surprised if she was scared off of men."

Sarutobi lifted his hands, about to disperse the privacy seal, turned to him and said something only Negi would understand. "Wake her up."

Flashback End

Negi walked up to a doctor, grinning before placing his hands over her eyes. "Guess who?"

The female doctor giggled before lifting his hands from her eyes. "What did I tell you about doing that in the hospital, Negi-chan." The doctor mock scolded before turning around. The doctor's eyes were bright brown with the same color hair coming down just barely past her shoulders. Oddly, two purple rectangles were panted on each side of her face. She had regular doctor's clothing, showing her profession.

Negi mock-pouted. "Rin onee-chan...!" "Don't give me any lip, young man. Anyway, I doubt you came here for a social visit. So, whatcha want?" Negi turned serious. "I was wondering for the room of Mikoto Uchiha. It's time."

Rin grew serious as well. "Right, come with me." Rin lead Negi through many hallways and floors before they arrived at the bottommost floor, hidden to only the highest staff in the hospital. Coming to a door, both of them nipped their finger, blood dripping slowly, and walked to opposite sides. They both pressed their fingers in the middle of the door at the same time. Seals appeared on the door, before it slid open by itself. Both Negi and Rin walked through the door and watched as it closed behind them.

Where they walked in was a dark room with barely any light coming from the candles on the walls. "Really, I don't know why we even had to put her here." Rin said to her ototo. Negi though walked to the bed. It had all the required medical machinery. "Unfortunately, the village is largely corrupt. To influence the last Uchiha, they would go from capturing her, and using her as leverage, killing her, and sending the boy into a subtle insanity...or they may even sell her off. Though the most likely is making her into a breeding stock." Rin shivered in disgust.

As she was in her on little world, Negi looked upon the face of the last female Uchiha. Really, the last, true Uchiha in Konoha. Unlike Sasuke, she had a full mature Sharingan. Really, Sasuke was Uchiha in name only, well, until he awakens his own copy-cat eye. Anyway, Mikoto's face was...peaceful looking. No grimace, pain, or anything negative like. All 'n' all, she was pretty cute. Shaking himself from those thoughts, Negi stood up straight, before holding his hand up. Without much thought, Negi conjured purple lighting around his hand.

"Time to wake up, Uchiha."
