Tenten awoke to find herself unable to move. Her eyes shifted to get a look at the surrounding. From what she could gather they were in a hotel room. Cheap by the look of it. Her eyes wandered to a struggling Lee who was tied up and gagged. Lee looked at her and quite struggling.
"Oh good your awake." A voice called from behind. Tenten was turned over and came face to face with Sasuke. The ninja brought a glass to his captive's mouth. "Here drink this." Tenten did as she was told. As the water went down her throat Tenten realised how thirsty she really was. After she was finished she asked, "Why are we here?"
Sasuke smiled at the question replying, "You're a lot more level headed than you partner. I had to gag him cause he couldn't stop yelling." The comment received a growl from Lee as he glared at his captor.
"Why are we here?" Tenten asked again with a stronger tone.
Sasuke looked at Tenten seriously. "You're here for your own protection."
"Protection from what?" Tenten asked confused.
"Danzo. Danzo is planning a take over of Konoha." Sasuke said.
Tenten was speechless at the statement. Finding her voice she asked, "Why?"
Sasuke sighed knowing he had to tell Tenten and Lee the whole story. "After the labyrinth sank. I found myself in Hell with Kakashi. Attempting to escape that place we ran into many of the inhabitants. A couple of them reconized me and told me what I am about to tell you. Long ago Danzo fought Sarutobi for Hokage and lost. He wanted to turn Konoha into a militeristic village. Sarutobi was man of peace and deplomacy so the two often clashed. After the nine tails attack Danzo, Koharu, and Humora blamed my clan demanding their arrest. Sarutobi refused but to keep peace segregated the clan. My father took offense to this and began to set up a coup. My brother disagreed with the action and went to the Hokage. Danzo called for genocide being supported by Koharu and Humora, but Sarutobi attempted to find a peaceful solution. Unfortunately my clan had already made up it's mind leaving the third no choice but to follow with Danzo's plan. Itachi being the strongest was tasked with the duty of ending all Uchiha including myself. My brother spared me out of love and made a deal with the third. He would live as the villain relaying information to the elders on the condition I live. Sarutobi accepted despite the other three's protest. After the third's death Itachi returned and attacked the village as a warning to Danzo that I was not to be harmed. Itachi let me hate him so I could defeat him as sick form of redemption."
"Fine but what does that have to do with you attacking Konoha?" Tenten asked distrustfully.
"One of the people I talked to stated that Danzo was in league with Orochimru to make himself immortal. Danzo, Koharu, and Humora have the power to remove Tsunade. I've seen the way Koharu and Humora have been questioning Tsunade's leadership. It won't take long for them to replace her with Danzo. I took it upon myself to avenge the children of my clan and protect Tsunade from the elders. After I finish Danzo I plan on turning myself in and face the consequences."
"K so why not go to Lady Tsunade?"
"Danzo's loyalists may kill the hokage before anything can be done. I have to end him before he makes his move."
"So let us help you. Lee and I are your friends." Tenten pleaded.
"You can help by bringing me in. I won't put you two in harms way. This started with my clan. It'll end with my clan. I'm sorry but you two need to stay here." Sasuke said as he grabbed a roll of tape. "Since I know you won't stay put. I'll need to silence you."
As soon as Sasuke left Lee waited a few minutes before he closed his eyes and began to open the first three gates. As power surged through his body Lee tore through the ropes before he rushed over to free his comrade. "So what do we do now?" Lee asked.
"I don't know. If Sasuke is right Danzo will be waiting for us and then who knows."
"We should try and find Sasuke giving him a hand."
"True but we don't know where he went." Tenten said with fustration feeling useless again. After a minute the ninja said, "I think our best option is wait and see if Sasuke suceeds. We prepare in case he fails and face the traitor ourselves."
"How will we know if Sasuke..." Lee started to ask but didn't want to bring himself to say it.
"We'll wait two days. Sasuke wouldn't leave us for longer than that."
"Very well. We will wait two days then let the power of youth flow through us as we storm Konoha!" Lee shouted receiving only a weird look from Tenten.
