A/N - Kishimoto still owns Naruto

A/N - Sorry for the delay in the chapter, been really busy and haven't had much chance to write.

This chapter will be short, but look for longer chapters upcoming in a few weeks when my RL schedule becomes more flexible.

T72ndC - Uchiha

Naruto and Sakura looked at Sasuke, waiting to see what the Uchiha knew in their six years existence in this timeline. Sasuke returned their looks with a smirk.

"You two don't know? Think about it. You know, the Festival held on the 10th... who does it honor?" Sasuke looked at his teammates as realization finally dawned on them.

"Of course!" Sakura exclaimed. "The festival honors the defeat of the Kyuubi by the Fourth Hokage..."

"and the Uchiha clan leader and his clansman who helped keep the Kyuubi distracted at the cost of their lives." Naruto finished Sakura's statement. "Sorry you lost your father Sasuke."

"Listen Naruto, I was ashamed of my father last time once I found out what happened, this time I am proud of him, he served the Leaf like a true hero."

"This change has meant the Uchiha clan is not as ostracized as the last timeline." The Third Hokage added. "Shisui Uchiha is the current leader of the Clan with Sasuke's mother his adviser."

"And Itachi?" Naruto looked at Sasuke.

"He's an ANBU Captain." Sasuke actually smiled. "Though he's still an annoying older brother in my way!" Sasuke said with his trademark smirk. Everyone laughed, even Kakashi.

"But with these changes, what about keeping tabs on Akatsuki?" Naruto said seriously.

"That is something Kakashi and I have been discussing." The Sandaime said. "It actually may work to our benefit."

"How so?" Sakura asked.

Kakashi spoke for the first time in a while. "We know that Orochimaru is in Akatsuki right now, and he didn't leave until Itachi became a rogue ninja and joined the group about two years from now. We know the first time the group made a move was to come to Konoha just after the invasion of the Sound under Orochimaru's direction. And we know that Kabuto is somewhere working under Orochimaru's orders likely to gather more information about the Akatsuki and their plans through Sasori. The key to Akatsuki is Obito's desire to grab the Kyuubi first but he couldn't do it on his own six years ago so now he has to build the group up and fund it through Amegakure and Nagato slowly. And that means we have six years to work and change the dynamics of this time. Since we know who all the members of Akatsuki are, there strengths and weaknesses, we can undermine Madara's plan by keeping them from getting the Jinchuriki. But even more important, we know who the key players are to Madara's plans. If we can keep the tree and Juubi from being created, we can keep the Ninja World safe."

"Well that sounds good and all, but aren't we forgetting someone? Namely Danzo?" Sasuke said with a stern look on his six year old face. The look almost made Kakashi laugh if the topic weren't so serious.

"Ah yes... Danzo." Hiruzen sighed but then smiled. "I have a trap for him, and I suspect now is nearly the time to spring it since you all are finally a part of this timeline. And your hospitalization Sasuke is the perfect opportunity." The three young ninja's looked at their Hokage, wondering what part they would have to play in this.

"So, what do I have to do?" Sasuke looked at the old man, knowing the crafty Sandaime had something interesting in mind.

"Nothing. Lets just say we let word leak out to Danzo through a known Root agent that the incident had awakened your Sharingan eyes. At such a young age, you would be an extremely tempting target." The Sandaime said.

"Interesting, but untrue..." Sasuke said. "even if I wished it was the case, I don't think I've got enough chakra yet to activate them."

"Ahhh, you don't, but your brother in henge form would, now wouldn't he?" Hiruzen smiled. "In fact, while we have been here talking, Itachi and Shisui, and another ANBU agent have taken your places in the Hospital. I expect we should hear word soon if the charade has worked."

As if on cue, there was a knock on the door to the Hokage's office.

"Enter" The Hokage said.

The door opened and Shisui Uchiha entered, followed by a rather disgruntled looking Danzo and Itachi Uchiha right behind him.

"Sarutobi, what is the meaning of this!" An outraged Danzo sputtered. "How dare your ANBU attack me!"

"Indeed my friend, please elaborate on what has happened." Hiruzen's face showed no emotion whatsoever.

"I was visiting a friend in the Hospital and these two abducted me!" Danzo spat.

"Is this true Shisui?" The Hokage asked still emotionless.

"Not a word of it Sandaime. Approximately thirty minutes ago two agents of Root dressed as Iwa ninja were spotted escorting Danzo to the hospital wing where your young guests were the only patients on file. " Shisui motioned to the three young people seated before the Hokage. " Itachi, Hayate Gekko, and I were stationed in those rooms per your request when Danzo and his subordinates made an attempt to abduct Itachi Uchiha henged as his brother Sasuke. They attempted to use tranquilizers on our henged forms and Danzo attempted to use a Sharingan eye he is not supposed to posses. We were forced to kill the fake Iwa ninjas, but here are there headbands." Shisui held out two headbands and handed them over to Hiruzen.

"Hmmm, these are very serious charges you make Shisui. As this involves a member of your clan and your clan's Kekkei Genkai, and as the head of the Uchiha Clan you have the right to make a charge against Danzo in front of the Village Clan Assembly being held tomorrow. Do you wish to do this?" The Sandaime still emotionless asked Shisui even as he placed the headbands in one of his desk drawers.

Danzo's one visible eye became as large as a saucer. He had not expected to be caught in the act of attempted kidnapping. The possible reward was too great to pass up the opportunity for a set of Sharingan eyes. He had planned on killing the other two youngsters to make the incident look like an attempt by another village to grab an Uchiha. And his own stolen Sharingan would have been the only counter to they youngsters eyes, so he had to be a part of the operation. Now his whole world was crumbling. As he stared toward Hiruzen, he noticed the young raven haired boy in one of the chairs turn toward him, but his eyes were merely jet black without a hint of the Sharingan. Damn those Uchiha!

"Yes, the Uchiha have long known that Danzo has coveted our Sharingan eyes and suspected he possessed one. However we have not had proof until now. I will make the charge tomorrow."

"Very well." Hiruzen sighed and looked at Danzo and showing emotion for the first time, in sadness shook his head. "Danzo, you were told to disband ROOT, now you stoop to kidnapping a Leaf clan member? Before now we have held differing opinions on the path the Leaf village must follow, but never did I believe you would stoop so low as to endanger the village itself, I thought you wanted to protect the Leaf, but your actions prove you do not. You will face judgement tomorrow at the assembly of the clans. Shisui, turn him over to T&I tonite and tell them to triple the guard." Hiruzen watched as the three men exited his office, Danzo had an expression of unbelief on his face. Oh how the mighty have fallen Danzo.

"That..." Sasuke began to say.

"Bastard!" Naruto finished his friends statement.

"Indeed. I once thought Danzo's opinions were important to the leaf, that he was trying to make it strong. But you Team 7..." He motioned to the three youngsters and Kakashi too. "... show the true strength of this village. I think we have much more to discuss over the next few days, but as seeing how it is quite late I think it's time we all got some rest." The Sandaime Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up from behind his desk while the others also stood and they all left the Hokage tower.
