Last time
The Uchiha clan district was a sight to behold. The last time he'd seen it was when Itachi had slaughtered every single living person. Blood had been spilled everywhere. Dead bodies strewn haphazardly. Now, he could change it all. `After all, what good is a clan to me dead? Might as well use them to destroy this cesspool. `
"Halt. Who goes there" Spoke a nameless Uchiha. His hand kept in front of him, preventing Naruto from entering.
Naruto met onyx eyes with Sharingan, a stare that promised nothing but the taste of kunai steel. The stare was of such intensity that the Uchiha visibly flinched before granting access inside.
Naruto walked inside unperturbed. Uchiha's of a variety of different ages glancing at him. Some with hope, others with barely veined contempt but most with interest.
A voice broke Naruto out of his revenuer and his eyes met one of the most beautiful ladies he'd ever witnessed. Fair skinned like the rest of the Uchiha clan, her body from what he could gleam was curvy and compact. Hiding the strength that lay within. Her long hair framed her face, black eyes the colour of midnight peering at him with interest. "Hello, stud. We've much to converse about."
"You are?" Naruto responded with no decorum.
"I'd have thought Kushina might have told you about me. A shame. I'm Mikoto Uchiha, charmed to meet you. She said, peering intently at Naruto.
"Likewise." Naruto said softly before taking Mikoto's hand and pecking her knuckle with his lips, his eyes appraising her body from closer distance.
Mikoto for all her Uchiha aloofness still captured a blush to her pale cheeks, further accentuating the contrast. "I have to thank you for saving my friend. When Kushina hadn't met me at our usual rendezvous, I got worried. I was going to look for her but Sandaime-Sama denied all channels of leaving the village."
`Restricted all channels…? `
Naruto was prevented from carrying on his contemplation as a male voice exclaimed harshly "YOU"
Mikoto's reaction changed in an instant. Her once warm onyx eyes and blush staining her cheeks reverted back to cold Uchiha apathy. Completely disregarding the man. Less noticeable was the small sneer on her face.
"Fugaku." She said with barely veined hatred.
Said man walked even closer to the Uchiha duo, adopting a stern look on his face that only made the creases beneath his onyx eyes more prominent. His hair was short, brown and just slightly reached his shoulders. His attire consisted of a kimono with dull grey pants engraved with the Uchiha insignia.
"What is this outsider doing here. Doesn't he know this is the residence of the Uchiha clan, Mikoto what would your father say, if he caught you speaking to this emulation of the clan's greatest traitor."
"I'm sure tou-san would be elated with me, as I'm getting to know a fellow clansman, I'm sure you know that Fugaku." Interrupted Mikoto as she saddled up even closer to Naruto and linked their arms together. Elbow brushing against elbow, her tantalising breasts poking into his side and consequentially sending his thoughts down a lewd path.
"I thought I made it abundantly clear before." His Sharingan now active, tomoe spinning dangerously as they stared at the brash Uchiha. "I take offense to such slights made against me and my name." `Fugaku… So this is Sasuke's father? No wonder, I've a sudden urge to kill him. `
"You don't frighten me, outsider. I challenge you to a fight. With Mikoto as our witness, I'll put you in your rightful place and show the clan you're nothing special regardless of your relation to a traitor. I invoke on the sacred Uchiha rites of combat!"
Gasps were heard all around, much to Naruto's puzzlement. Even Mikoto had produced an audible sound at what she'd just heard.
"Uchiha rite of combat…?"
"Listen closely outsider, You and I battle, winner takes the losers eyes. I've already bested dozens of candidates for potential clan head. You don't stand a chance" He spat, rounding on his heel and vanishing in a Shunshin.
Mikoto groaned once he was out of earshot. "God, I hate that man! Constantly rubbing it in anyone's face about his rise to clan head and his betrothal to me."
"Betrothal…? I'm afraid, I don't compute Mikoto-Chan"
"My father is clan head, and I'm his heir. My brother is too young to take the mantle thus Tou-san was contested to pick a fledgling Uchiha to become the new clan head. What better way to pick then to fight for it… We, Uchiha have always valued strength over stability. I am just a spoils of the position. Whoever becomes the clan head procures me as a wife"
"Don't worry Mikoto-Chan. I give you my word, you shan't have to marry that man." Said Naruto, as he placed his hands on Mikoto's and squeezed them reassuringly. `If I can break their would be union, then Sasuke won't be born. A shame about Itachi. `
"We've dallied enough Naruto, it's time to meet my father." Said a weary Mikoto, her hand on a wooden door, intertwined with hundreds of seals on its structure, she gave it a tug with her palpable chakra and pushed inwards. The sound of mechanical leavers rumbling and groaning as the door opened inwardly with a flourish.
Kushina Uzumaki was happy for the first time since she came to the leaf village. Her dalliance with Naruto had led to a heart to heart and a weight had been pulled from her shoulders. The sex wasn't bad either! She hoped the limp wasn't noticeable from their rutting session.
She herself didn't notice the hand grabbing her wrist in a vice and Shunshin'ing her to a barren training ground.
She did however utilize her chakra in the next instance and summoned a chakra chain through the visualizing aspect of her powers. A chain made of diamond hard chakra erupted from the ground and coiled around her slender neck like a viper, withdrawing the hand from her wrist and creating distance between her and the person who'd brought her here.
"Minato…! What is the meaning of this?"
Minato Namikaze wasn't in the best of shapes. Dark bags surrounded the underside of his cerulean blue eyes, his hair had lost its lustre considerably and fell flat against his head a stark contrast to before where it jutted out everywhere. "How could you Kushina?" Said Minato flatulently.
"How could I what?" Snapped back Kushina, confusion marring her facial features as Minato's words flew over her head.
"Sleep with that Uchiha like a common whore!" Shouted Minato, his hands scrunched so tightly that his nails dug into his palms. Blood dripping freely as he gave his cutting remark.
Kushina's hair split into nine separate pieces, closely resembling her jailer's tails. A red bubble of frothing chakra surrounded her body with bone like protrusions assembling through her back. "What does it matter to you, who I sleep with?"
"EVERYTHING! You were supposed to LOVE me!" Shouted an incensed Minato. "Ever since you came to Konoha. Hokage-Sama promised… I watched you from afar. Even when you were kidnapped by those Kumo nin, I came to save you, by right you should be with me. Yet, you callously disregarded my love for you and spreaded your legs for that unknown Uchiha outsider."
"Hokage promised… You're speaking in riddles Minato. If you had loved me, as you eloquently put it then the least you could have done would have been to speak to me. As for those Kumo-nin, you were too late in assisting me" Her eyes now began to take a slit like hue. "Do not call me a whore however, you will not like the results."
Minato scrunched his face up into a perpetual sneer. "That's what you are, a whore. A bed warmer. You could have been with the future Hokage. Yet you decided to board the sinking Uchiha ship."
`Use that technique. I grow tired of the brat's voice. `
`It'll kill him… `
`I'll tone it down considerably Kushi-Chan. `
"Kokuhō (Hollow Canine Cannon)" Intoned Kushina as she gathered chakra into a menacing orb of death and destruction, she devoured the orb and her feet sank into the ground, trench marks forming due to the sheer density of the chakra. She opened her mouth and the potent wave of chakra expelled at ground breaking paces. Covering the distance between the two rapidly...
He wasn't expecting this. There sat in a seiza positon with nothing but a pillow beneath his knees was Kagami Uchiha. A man who was noticeably Shimura Danzo's best friend. He was all sharp lines and stern eyes, his skin fair like the rest of the Uchiha, greying tousled hair that fell around his forehead protector, framing his face. His outfit consisted of typical Uchiha tailoring. A high collared, dark coloured shirt with the Uchiha fan stamped at the back. A Tantō at his side and black baggy pants. His feet bare.
"Tou-san" Spoke Mikoto, as she ushered Naruto into the chamber of utmost secrecy. The door closing behind them with an audible creak. A spider web of seals appearing onto the doors surface before disappearing signifying the sound suppression seals being activated amongst other unknown Fūinjutsu.
Mikoto sat in a seiza position directly opposite her father and tapped the other available position to her right signalling Naruto to sit down which he did.
"I believe introductions are in order" Said Kagami, his eyes boring into Naruto's. His Sharingan was inactive due to the chakra suppressing seals littered around the area. Making moulding of any sort of chakra impossible.
"Uchiha Uzumaki Naruto. Grandson to Uchiha Madara and Uzumaki Hitomi. The second clan head of the Uchiha and heir to Uzushiogakure no Sato." Droned Naruto dispassionately. `Seals within seals thus restricting chakra. Whoever designed those seals were highly proficient in the art. Judging from Kagami's posture and that Tantō, he's more than defended. I wish I had dawn with me, that would have made things balanced. `
"Uchiha and Uzumaki? A deadly combination not to mention politically power housed. It could create a scandal throughout the nations if it's found out Uchiha Madara bred with an Uzumaki, that to the clan heiress. Assassins would be breathing down you neck in droves. Not to mention what those in the highest echelons of Konoha's administration would do."
Naruto recognised the potential threat and knew this was someone to sway to his cause. "What do I need to do, to ensure your silence Kagami-San?"
"You can start by telling me, what you're doing in Konoha, and do you harbour any negative thoughts towards the clan due to your grandfather being betrayed by them?" Uttered Kagami, his hand forming the ram hand sign which caused a seal to appear. Squiggly lines intersecting together seamlessly into the kanji for `truth. ` "Now, no lies can be spoken. Only the unvarnished truth. Speak."
And spoke he did but not a single word of truth was said, Kagami unfortunately didn't realise that the truth was in the eye of the beholder. "My grandfather told my father who in turn told me of the stagnation of the Uchiha clan. Ever since the Senju came into power, the Uchiha have fallen into steady decline."
Kagami's eyes widened, along with Mikoto's who at that point had remained silent. The both of them listening with rapt attention. "Decline in what way…?" Said Mikoto, equally patriotic like her father when it came to the clan.
"Answer me this Kagami-San and you'll have your answer. How many clansmen or women do you currently have anywhere else other than the police force?"
"None…" Replied Kagami, confused to where this conversation was heading.
"The Uchiha clan's Kekkai Genkai, the Sharingan is activated through the cultivation of battle. How would one of Konoha's founding clans activate their sacred doujutsu when all they're fighting are lower tier criminals and bandits? The Uchiha's strong chakra, doujutsu and katon ninjutsu prowess have waned considerably due to the machinations of a silver haired Senju. Your mentor. He had seen the power of the Uchiha in my grandfather and his brother, Madara and Izuna were a force to be reckoned with and that was without their Sharingan. To contain and subdue the clan, he made a sub branch of ninja. A mockery to our lineage. Like my grandfather had said before, we the paramount's were and are reduced to Senju lapdogs as was foretold." Said Naruto inwardly laughing. Like their insignia, he was going to fan the Uchiha clan's hatred, sit back and watch the leaf burn…
"What do we do to rectify this travesty!" Said Kagami, an inner fire blooming in his onyx eyes. His back rim rod straight and his posture ridged as he provided his undivided attention to Naruto.
Unbeknownst to the both of them, Mikoto was staring openly at Naruto. Her legs coiled around each other and a light blush peppering her face. `Him taking charge was hot`
"A coup d'état. Overthrowing the current government and putting a Uchiha into power. The sprouting of the `will of fire` is nothing but Senju propaganda, designed to catapult Konoha into the highest echelons. Above the other villages. I know on both sides of my family the two facedness of Konoha. Tobirama Senju for suppressing the Uchiha and Sarutobi Hiruzen his disciple for allowing Uzushiogakure to be annihilated all to keep the strongest of the Bijū."
Mikoto interrupted Naruto before he could finish his monologue. "Naruto-San, even if attempt a coup we'll be destroyed. Like you said the clan has fallen into decline… How are we going to accumulate strength as a clan instantly"?
Naruto smirked darkly. A look that sent shivers running across Both Kagami and Mikoto. "Tell me, have you heard of the Mangekyō Sharingan…?"
AN:
And that's a wrap for this chapter. Couple of questions for you guys to mull over.
What do you guys think happened to Minato? ;)
"Dawn" Can any of you guys guess what that is?

Review pwease! With whipped cream and strawberries on top!
