Sarutobi was bound by a set of Chakra enhanced chains that probably wouldn't break, even if Tsunade was using her super strength. He had chakra suppressing seals all across his chest. Surrounding him was a special division of the ANBU black ops…Museiyoru (Silent night). They were the most dangerous members of the black ops…they were completely loyal to the Hokage…and no other. Not even Kakashi was good enough to be placed in their ranks.
He was in a holding cell made out of a special chakra draining rock. Just beyond the three inch thick wall of chakra eating rock, there was a set of bars and wires that reinforced the wall itself. And finally after that was a 12 inch thick wall of concrete.
The only hole in the cells perfect hold…was the door in and out…but that door was made out of a steel that could endure a hundred of Tsunade's most powerful punches, and it was constantly being pumped with Katon chakra, making it impossible to open from the inside…all in all…a nearly perfect cell.
There had been one person to escape from this cell…and he had died right after he made it three feet from the cell.
Sarutobi was being bound by his ankles, wrists, and thighs. His head was held in place, and on his back was a special device…it would quickly pump chakra directly into his chakra system if the interrogator gave the order…
Now why would this be bad…well…inserting another persons chakra into another, is a very painful process for the receiver…especially from where this chakra came from.
The chakra was specially harvested by Oinin (hunter-nin), who would use special chakra holding cases to bring in chakra for the device…all in all…since the chakra being shoved into a person as not from one person…but many, it would severely hurt.
Sarutobi looked at the ground as he thought of what had happened…not even twenty minutes ago he had been at home, writing his memoirs…the next minute he had been arrested for treason…what evidence did Minato have to support this? Unless…no…Minato would not have looked in storage…not when he had his own desk.
Before Sarutobi could continue his thoughts, the door to the cell opened…and he was shocked and terrified at who came in…
Anko Mitarashi…finest torture specialist of her generation…she knew every pressure point on the body, and where every nerve connected…
Inoichi Yamanaka…an interrogator that had been famed throughout the elemental countries…
And the worst of them all…Ibiki Morino…the only interrogator who has had the pleasure of making a Kage squeal for their life…
Following the three interrogators was an extremely pissed off Minato, and a fuming Kushina. Minato turned to the ANBU stationed just outside the door, "Lock it down…no one goes in or out of this room without my say so…kill anyone that attempts to interrupt us." the ANBU bowed and quickly locked down the doors.
Minato glared at the Sandaime, "I was willing to pass by not telling Naruto about us…I really was…but not this" he pulled out a pile of documents, "What I have found here is treason…no BEYOND treason…this is genocide…" Minato walked up to Sarutobi, "Shall we see what you have done…oh I think we shall" Minato stood back up and flipped to the first page, "Lets start with this…" Minato pulled out a document…and placed it directly in front of the Sandaimes face…shocking Sarutobi to the core…
It was an order that all the orphanages were to treat Naruto in a way that he would become submissive. Sarutobi had hoped that in the future when Naruto was a shinobi, he would be completely submissive to the ones in power…it would also prevent Naruto from lashing out when he was beaten or abused. It was the only reason Sakura had managed to beat Naruto on a daily basis and not get beaten to a bloody pulp.
Sarutobi looked at Minato with pleading eyes, "Minato…you must understand…if Naruto grew resentful of this village he would have lashed out, possibly destroyed us with Kyuubi's power, I could not allow that." Minato grabbed Sarutobi by the throat…
"And you would allow my son to be abused and tortured like a common criminal…?!" he let go of Sarutobi's throat and pulled out another document, "Oh…I am sure the Hyuuga clan would love to see this document…Hiruzen Sarutobi" Minato threw the document to the floor in front of Hiruzen…it was the actual treaty signed between himself and the Raikage…the treaty presented to Konoha was little more than a clever implication of words that convinced the council…the real treaty…was essentially treachery…
The treaty said
I Hiruzen Sarutobi, Sandaime Hokage of Konohagakure no Sato, agree to the terms of which Kumo demands for an immediate truce between our two nations.
In return for the immediate withdrawal of all Kumogakure troops from Hi no Kuni, and the immediate removal of all outposts. I Hiruzen Sarutobi agree to the following terms…
Kumogakure will be granted 30% of our treasury, along with any Raiton jutsu ranked B or higher, including those from the forbidden scroll of sealing. This includes the Hatake family collection of Raiton jutsu. Since Kakashi Hatake does not know of them, we need not worry about him questioning into its absence.
Konohagakure will release all prisoners of war, and will be pardoned of their crimes against Konohagakure no Sato. Konoha will also hand over any of Kumogakure's missing Nin, regardless of any services they have performed for Konoha.
And finally…Konohagakure will hand over one main branch Byakugan user. Konoha will assure that Kumo is capable of capturing a user of the Byakugan without ANBU interference. All ANBU will be focused on guarding the Kumo entourage while your 'ambassador' locates and kidnaps a main branch Hyuuga.
The rest of the document was details on the Hyuuga compound and locations of Hyuuga patrols…slipped to him by a member of the elder council who died three days after the incident with Kumo.
Sarutobi yelled, "Kumo outnumbered us three to one, if I did not agree to their demands they would have invaded us and destroyed us all. Giving them the Byakugan quelled most of their hostilities!" Minato back handed Sarutobi.
"You nearly caused a fourth great shinobi war, you dropped our economy, you gave away jutsu that were not yours to give, and you would have condemned Hinata Hyuuga to a life as a baby factory!" Minato pulled out several documents…and then he glared at the Sandaime, "This one…is absolutely appalling!" he slammed the document into the ground in front of Sarutobi…it was the assassination order of every last Uchiha…leaving only Sasuke Uchiha alive, "You committed a genocide of the Uchiha clan…ordering our top ANBU to slaughter them…including the women and children…and you only allowed him to keep Itachi alive…and by the looks of it, you needed to place a suggestive genjutsu on him to make him do it, because he refused to kill infants!"
"The Uchiha clan was planning to rebel! Minato grabbed Hiruzen by the scruff of his neck.
"And where was your proof…some side conversations by mentally unstable Uchiha…Uchiha who had been so mentally scarred from battles in the war that they went crazy…that proof?!" he threw Sarutobi to the ground, "You know as well as I do hat some shinobi never recover from missions…most Uchiha never do…and end up speaking nonsense about this and that…" Minato looked through the documents…and stopped at the most recent one…his eyes widening with fury…
"YOU WORTHLESS PIECE OF SHIT!!!" Minato kicked Sarutobi directly in the face, 'This is all the evidence I need Sarutobi…you will be lucky to live." Minato turned to Inoichi, "Find what you can from him…but keep him alive long enough so I can watch the life drain from his eyes." Minato walked towards the door, as it opened he walked out, being followed by his wife.
Inoichi performed hand seals as h glared at the Sandaime, "Shintenshin no Jutsu" Sarutobi's eyes widened as Inoichi used his mind transfer jutsu to literally tear through his mental defenses…and began to walk through hi mind…
Sarutobi's mindscape
Inoichi suddenly appeared in front of a hallway…the inside of Sarutobi's mind looked like the inside of the Hokage tower…Inoichi stood and looked around…and he found there were several hallways…at the front of one…was memories. He walked down that hallway and looked at how it was laid out…on each door there were names…Konohamaru…Kakashi…Asuma…Koharu…Homura…Danzo?
Inoichi looked at the door labeled Danzo and opened it…
Memory
Inoichi's eyes opened as he looked around, he was in the Hokage's office. He looked around…and saw Sarutobi doing documents…he was about to get a closer look…when there was knocking at the door.
Sarutobi looked up, "Enter" the door opened to reveal Danzo walking in. He had a smile on his face as he walked towards the Sandaime, "What do you have to report Danzo?" Danzo sat down on the chair in front of the desk and spoke…
"I am pleased to say that ROOT is doing well, my lowest ranking soldiers are now on par with a low Chunin, and my highest ranking soldiers could rival ANBU black ops…not bad for a bunch of 12 year olds"
Inoichi's eyes widened in fury…the Sandaime had continued with the ROOT operations in secret…when the Yondaime had ordered ROOT be permanently disbanded/…especially with the experiments they had been performing on orphans.
Sarutobi nodded his head, "Good…they will prove useful in the future…we may just be able to expand our ideals to other nations soon…and then we can put an end to war, and then we can truly have peace. No friction between ideals means no conflict, no pain…no war." Sarutobi went back to his documents, "I expect a report in a week." Danzo nodded his head and walked towards the door…
End Memory
Inoichi barged right out the door that contained the conversation Sarutobi had with Danzo…and he screamed, "AGH, YOU SON OF A BITCH!" he punched the walls, hoping he could cause of trauma to the old man.
He began inhaling and exhaling, trying to calm himself down, 'Ok, getting worked up is not going to help me out here…alright…who is next?' He continued walking down the hallways…he found doors for every shinobi he has ever had any contact with…and then…
He stopped in front of a door…it was partially cracked…but why? He took a closer look at it, trying to find its name…his eyes widened when he saw whose door it was…Orochimaru…
With Naruto
Naruto was taking a nap on the bow of the ship they were on. According to Kurenai-sensei they would land in Yuki no Kuni in a few days…
In that time he had learned an important lesson…HE HATES BOATS…on the entire trip he was on the side puking up what was in his stomach, and if that wasn't bad enough, he was the one who had to make sure Yukie did not escape from the ship on one of the life rafts…all in all…he regretted going on this mission…and they had not been on the boat for more than an hour!
Naruto sighed…and then his eyes widened as he heard his stomach gurgle, 'Oh shit not again' he jumped up and ran to the bow, "HURAGH" and let out the crimson tuna from this morning.
He fell to the ground clutching his stomach, 'Damn high class fish, why can't they have something that I will be able to stomach?' he pushed himself off the ground and walked to the ship's mast, looking at the fading mass of land behind them.
He walked towards the door to the ship's brig, and went down to the brig. He walked past rows upon rows of wooden planks, occasionally there would be a hook for lanterns, but Naruto had spent enough time in the dark growing up that the darkness of a ship was little more than a new environment with familiar settings.
He walked into the holding bay and walked around, trying to find something that wasn't high class food. He found some materials to make something simple…not that gourmet crap that tasted like it was prepared for kings…for some reason he could not stand dining like that.
He grabbed a few slices of bread, some cheese, a few bits of meat, and a bit of some sauce.
He was about to bite into his sandwich…when a crate fell over. He turned and looked at which crate had fallen…it was a crate stacked near the back edge of the crate underneath it, and the waves were not strong enough to knock it over…so that meant...someone else was in here.
Naruto pulled out a set of kunai and began to check around…if it was a bandit it would be no problem, but if it was a shinobi…things could get bad.
Naruto checked the area the crate had fallen from…he found a light trace of footfalls here…meaning whoever was in here, either was not trying to mask their presence…or was too incompetent to hide it in the first place.
Naruto followed the trace of footfalls…trying to see if there was a pattern…most did not know, but when it came to tracking, as long as there were marks left, he was top notch.
He stopped when he saw the feet stop in front of a wall, 'hmmm, so…either the person somehow got away…or' Naruto placed his hands in a release seal, "KAI!" a wave of chakra shot out of his body…and the wall in front of him…became one of the last people he wanted to see…
The person turned around and used his one eye to eye smile, "Oh…hey Naruto…"
Back with Inoichi
Inoichi swallowed hard…by the way the door was, the memory must not have been the best, but it would be more than enough to determine what the most recent memory of Orochimaru there was…no one knew how Orochimaru managed to get away…so this was the only lead they had at the moment.
Inoichi slowly reached towards the doors handle…and opened it to the unknown…
Memory
Inoichi opened his eyes to see Orochimaru and Sarutobi crossing weapons, the two fought for a few moments before Sarutobi pushed himself away from Orochimaru, he went through a set of hand seals, "This is the end Orochimaru…by the end of this day, you will never be able to use your jutsu again!" Sarutobi launched forward as his hands ignited with fire. He grabbed Orochimaru's forearms and yelled, "Katon: Nenshou Souhou" Orochimaru screamed in pain as his arms were burned, still attached to his body.
Sarutobi let go of his arms as they began to wither into ashes, he desummoned Enma and pulled out a kunai, "You will not escape this day Orochimaru." Sarutobi ran at Orochimaru, aiming for his heart…but stopped at the words that came out of Orochimaru's mouth…
"And lose the chance to bring your beloved back to life?"
…
…
…
Hiruzen's eyes widened…what was he talking about?
Inoichi was shocked…and he was praying that what he thought Sarutobi was doing…was not true…
"Oh yes…Sarutobi-sensei…I can only use my perfect rebirth technique once every five months, but because I cannot speak to the Shinigami at the moment, and my next opening is in six months, it will be that much more difficult…but…if you let me live…I can guarantee, that in six months, you can have your beloved wife."
Sarutobi lowered his kunai…and began to ponder…Orochimaru sealed the deal…
"And of course…she will have all her free will…especially since it was you she cherished most." Sarutobi looked down…he had gone into a great depression since his wife's death…and he would sell his soul to the devil if it would bring her back…but he has been given a chance…let Orochimaru live…and he gets his wife back…he thought of all the pain Orochimaru had caused…all of the hell he had brought forth…but his selfish desire to be with his wife…was far too strong.
Sarutobi looked at the three ANBU outside the barrier, 'I'm sorry' and used the special Kage seal on their arms…they fell unconscious, and the last half an hour was permanently erased from their minds…a safety protocol to prevent information leakage should they ever be caught.
Sarutobi turned to Orochimaru, "Alright…you may live…but please…bring me back my wife…" Orochimaru got a malicious smirk as his bodyguards surrounded him…
"I promise…Sarutobi sensei…" the group disappeared in a shunshin as one of the hit Sarutobi in the back of the head, effectively knocking him out…
End Memory
Inoichi couldn't believe it…he could not believe it…Hiruzen Sarutobi…had allowed Orochimaru escape…so he could bring his wife back to life…
Inoichi turned towards the exit…not bothering to check out the rest of the doors…for he had enough evidence to condemn Sarutobi for something that had not been practiced in Konoha since the time of the Nidaime…
Death…by forced Seppuku…
Back With Naruto
Naruto looked at the man in front of him and snarled, "What are you doing here…Kakashi Hatake?"
Kakashi looked at Naruto, "Well…I thought perhaps I could…maybe…teach you a few things." Naruto snarled at Kakashi, releasing a trace amount of killing intent, enough to make Kakashi flinch suddenly.
"You had your chance to teach me, the entire time that you were my sensei…you got what you wanted…you can now train the Uchiha exclusively…so what reason would you have to train the no talent Kyuubi brat?" Kakashi flinched at the cold tone Naruto was addressing him with…
"Why other than to train my sensei's son…" Naruto did not give Kakashi time to blink…he grabbed Kakashi by the collar and slammed him straight into the wall behind him. Kakashi was shocked at the strength Naruto showed, as well as the speed he executed his attack.
"I am tired of this bullshit, if the Yondaime sent you here to trick me so he can have you kill me without me expecting you…then forget it…now...I will repeat myself for the last time…and listen very…very…CLOSELY!" Kakashi tried to protest, "I am Naruto Uzumaki…the bastard orphan that the Yondaime used to save the village of Konoha…I have no family…and I will forever remain alone…" Naruto let go of Kakashi and walked back to the staircase to the upper deck, he grabbed his sandwich before he headed up the stairs…while Kakashi slumped to the floor…clutching the scroll he was about to give to Naruto…
Back in Konoha
Minato busted open his office door, he had left Ibiki, Inoichi, and Anko there to get any and all information he needed out of the old man…but he smiled to himself…he now had undeniable proof that Naruto was his son…he reached to grab it off the desk…to find it wasn't there.
Kushina came into the room to find Minato throwing documents everywhere; he had a panicked look on his face as he shuffled through the documents, "Honey, what is wrong?" Minato looked at Kushina, tears starting to flow down his face…
"The birth certificate…it's gone!" Kushina went wide eyed and began to rummage through the documents as well…she was about to go through a folder…when she saw a piece of paper under the heater…her eyes widened in terror, 'Oh god please no…' she ran to the piece of paper, Minato followed suit…they quickly pulled it out…it was Naruto's birth certificate alright…
But the birth certificate was in terrible condition, the wax ink used to write out the forms had melted and smudged, it was impossible to read the names…the blood used as indicators was blackened…impossible to trace…the DNA in it was probably destroyed.
The two fell to the floor…the only piece of evidence to prove that Naruto was their son…the only object that would allow them to become a family again…was destroyed…
Minato fell to the floor sobbing while Kushina was whimpering like a dog, muttering things like, 'It's all my fault' she fell to the floor crying as well…
Minato clutched his eyes…but then they shot open…he remembered that he had made sure there were two copies of all his documents, marriage certificates, birth certificates…even academy curriculum files…and he had entrusted the copy of Naruto's birth certificate to one person…his best friends…Hiashi Hyuuga…
He slapped himself, wondering why he did not remember it before, but turned to his wife, "Kushina…I just remembered…Hiashi has the extra copy of the birth certificate…come one!" Kushina wasted no time and rather than taking the door she jumped out the window, Minato followed close behind…
Meanwhile in interrogation
Ibiki was now interrogating Sarutobi…and with each confession that came out of his mouth, he grew even more hateful of the Sandaime…he looked at the Sandaime…and muttered to himself, 'May Kami show you the mercy our Hokage will not…bastard'
