Saving old bonds
Chapter 4 (Revised)
Sasuke was staring at the ceiling of his cell. It was no regular cell; it was a cage in the middle of a room with 4 ANBU guards on each corner. There were 4 seals on each side of the cell that were suppressing his chakra, and in order for him to bypass them he would need to destroy them all, however it could only be done from the outside. The bed itself was bolted to the ground so he could not use it as a weapon; there was no getting out, not even for the famous Uchiha Sasuke.
Tsunade entered the room, she stared at Sasuke. "What do you want?" He asked her coldly. "Are you here too mock me? Or perhaps try and convince me to rejoin the leaf."
"Leave now." She said while looking at the 4 guards.
"But Hokage Sama!" One of the guards answered. "It's dangerous to leave him unguarded."
"He will not be unguarded; I will be here."
"But…."
"Do you not think that I, the Hokage of the leaf can't take care of a caged powerless ninja?"
"No, of course not Lady Hokage."
"Then leave this room, I will call you back in once I am done."
"As you wish Hokage Sama."
The ANBU guard signaled for the others to follow him out of the room while Tsunade never even took her eyes off of Sasuke. The door shut and there was an odd silence in the room. Sasuke decided to break it first.
"What, are you here to brag about how I have finally been captured? On how your precious team of Naruto and Sakura finally defeated me? Or is it as I first assumed that you are here to try and convert me? Well forget it!" he spat out at her.
"I am not here to brag; I am not here to try and convince you of anything. I am only here to tell you the truth about what happened about 10 years ago during the bloody Uchiha incident."
"Tell me about what? There is nothing more that you can tell me that I don't already know."
"Really now? What if I told you that Itachi did not kill your entire clan?"
"What? What are you talking about, I saw Itachi kill my parents with my own eyes."
"You saw him remove a sword from their bodies; did you actually see him kill them? Did you see him kill anybody? Do you truly know what actually happened on that night? I could tell you."
"Why should I believe anything that you tell me?"
"Because I have proof." She took out a few scrolls from her pockets. There were a total of three "These scrolls are all written by your father. Once I am done telling you the story I will give them too you. You will be able to confirm that they were indeed written by him and not forged by me or anyone else from the leaf." She said while she grabbed a chair and sat in front of the cell. "The first thing you need to know is that the Uchiha clan was divided in two groups. One group was constantly trying to gain more power and even wanted to take over the leaf village, while the other group was loyal to Konoha and the Hokage. Your father and brother were in that group."
"What are you talking about, there were never any disputes among the Uchiha."
"None that you knew about perhaps, but I can assure you that there was. The group loyal to Konoha was larger and thus was always in control and could keep the others inline. But then the dark day arrived, the nine-tailed demon fox attacked the village. Many ninjas died that day including a large number of the Uchiha's loyal to the Leaf, but there were still enough to keep the peace. However, with the death of the 4th Hokage and Naruto being the vessel for the demon fox the Uchiha's wanted to have Naruto killed. Your father was opposed to this as he was a very close friend of the 4th Hokage, had Jiraiya not been around he would have more than likely been chosen to be his god father."
"What does any of this have to do with what I saw on that night? And wait a minute; Naruto is the fourth's son?"
"Yes, but the forth wanted his son to grow up strong without any special treatment. So, he asked the third to keep it a secret, as for the Uchiha's I am getting there. With Itachi as part of the ANBU, the other group wanted to use him as a spy on the inside However your father opposed this idea and a large number of the Uchiha's that were supposed to be loyal to your father began to argue that Naruto was too much of a risk to be kept alive. One night at a meeting many of the Uchiha's voiced their concern about Naruto and how they thought he should be killed. Your father refused to agree with them and it finally erupted, it was a civil war. Your fathers group may had been out numbered, but the ones still loyal to your father and Konoha were among the most skilled of the Uchiha. The battle was bloody as friends turned to foes, brothers turned on each other. By the time it was over most of the Uchiha's had been killed, including your mother and father that had been mortally wounded. Your brother at the time was out a mission, when he arrived he came home to the bloodshed and carnage. He quickly ran to your house and found your mother dead and your father crying over her body, he could tell he was in pain both physically and emotionally. He wanted to get medical help but you father stopped him saying they would arrive too late. He asked him to finish him off so that the pain would stop. Your brother was hesitant, he didn't want to kill his own father, but he didn't want to see him in pain either. Your father insisted and Itachi finally did it. And that's when you walked in on them."
Sasuke was surprised by the story; he had never expected anything remotely close to that. "That makes no sense! Itachi was branded a traitor and the cause of the deaths. Plus, everything he did to me afterward!"
"Officially yes, the records show that your brother murdered the entire Uchiha clan. But after he reported what happened to the third Hokage he decided that he did not want to see the Uchiha name tarnished. He would rather take the fall and let the Uchiha name stay clean rather than have a report saying that there was a rebellion within the ranks that were not loyal to Konoha. The third agreed to it since it was Itachi's decision. Why do you think that Konoha has never attempted to recapture Itachi? We spent so much time and resources hunting you down yet we let him go. That is the reason, it's because he never betrayed the village and is still loyal to Konoha to this day."
"I still don't believe you."
"And I expected as much, that is why I brought these." She said while holding onto two scrolls "These are reports made by the police chief, your own father. They are stating his concerns about a growing number of Uchiha's that were starting to show signs of possible treason and the last one is a letter to you. He wrote it as he was dying. Its written in his own blood. You will be able to confirm that these are not fakes" She told him as she handed over the scrolls through the bars. "I have one last thing to say and give to you. As much as you may think we are just out to make you into a weapon it isn't true. You are still a valued shinobi of Konoha, not a weapon. And here, this is from Naruto. He kept it all those years..." She handed him a leaf headband.
"This is…"
"Yes, your old headband."
"He kept it all this time?"
"He did, now it's up to you to either accept or decline it. I will give you some time to think about it" She walked out of the room as the ANBU took their places back.
The sun was beginning to set on Konoha. Sakura was doing her rounds, humming a tune as she walked around the hospital. She was finishing up her shift and it had been a long day. "I should drop by and see Naruto before I leave, maybe bring him a bowl of ramen; I bet he would love some." She though happily to herself as she made her way to the cafeteria but stopped suddenly. "Wait, I will get him his favorite from Ichiraku Ramen rather than this hospital food." Sakura grinned at herself, knowing that Naruto would really love it.
Meanwhile out on the ocean off the cost of Konoha, a large fleet of ships was sailing towards one the fire country's coastal cities. Each ship full of Ninja's bearing a headband that no one had ever seen before, it was the image of the moon.
