No one's P.O.V:
Yue tried her best not to smirk, her plan was working out perfectly. By the end of this interrogation she will get rid of that bothersome civilian council, the elders, Danzo and Root will be freed... not to mention what Sasuke and Hinata are doing right now.
On the other hand, Inoichi could not contain his smile. Danzo had her brought because he wanted to find her guilty of something, so she would end up being handed to him. Surely to be turned into a weapon or to breed perfect ninjas for him. He wanted her to be found of working for the bounty hunter or being a spy for Orochimaru or keeping information from us. He even brought all the Clan Heads so the Hokage could not think ahead and help her out. She was unconsciously turning the tables on that old hawk.
"Yue" Inoichi unconsciously relaxed "Is there something else you had left out during your imprisonment at Orochimaru's laboratory?" he asked gently, rather than formal.
"I... I rather not talk about it" she whispered brokenly, looking down on her lap. Internally congratulating herself for a great performance "B-but you can see for yourself" she offered.
Inoichi worriedly read her mind, expecting the worst... which he found. He schooled his features not to show anything and called out an Anbu squad leader. He then communicated with him mentally giving him his order. As soon as the Anbu squad leader had left he called out towards the Hokage, relieved that all of them seamed to have had been distracted with a serious conversation of their own.
"What is it Inoichi?" Sarutobi asked the mind reader.
"Hokage-sama it's better if you just see it for yourself" Inoichi answered, grimly, as he submerged both of them into Yue's mind.
There was, in the fragment of memory, a bruised and bloody Yue, as she was being cornered by a boy with a lab coat. The boy then threw her to the floor and tried to rip her clothes off.
"N-no! Get off me!" she yelled, fighting tooth and nail against the boy.
Both Sarutobi and Inoichi could feel the fear and desperation that Yue felt in that situation, it paralyzed them. They could not tore their eyes off that poor girl that was about to be rape, they felt disgusted with themselves for not being able to help her- even though they knew this happened in the past.
Suddenly a blinding red chakra surrounded Yue, heat began to emanate from her and her chakra started to change colors: from red to orange, from orange to blue, from blue to green, from green to black. With each change of color, the heat became stronger. Then her chakra jumped out of her body and became black flames that wrapped themselves around the boy that almost raped Yue and burnt him until there were only ashes left.
"Goodness" the Hokage gasped "This feeling, just like the First whenever he uses his wood release. Could it be a genetic adaptation that happened at her clan from the First's blood limit?"
"I don't think so" the sudden voice of Yue, startled the Third "I don't posses Earth chakra but I do have Fire nature. Maybe the blood limit adapts depending on whatever chakra nature the person possesses?" she said, almost like a question.
"Interesting" commented Sarutobi as he watched the fragment memory Yue's chakra return to her body and break down into tears, a normal behavior for someone after their first kill "Why didn't you tell us this, my child?"
"I was ashamed" Yue whispered, her bangs covering her eyes.
"You have nothing to be ashamed of" the Hokage said sternly, taking hold of her chin and lifting it up "What that... monster tried to do is unforgivable. Also, by the end you stopped him"
"I am not afraid of that" whispered Yue, shedding some (fake) tears "I am ashamed of loosing control of my powers and killing someone"
"You were protecting yourself, there's nothing to be ashamed of" Sarutobi replied firmly "Inoichi why are we watching this? You could have simply told me what had happened"
"We are here to see what happens next" the mind reader replied, with such a serious demeanor that it worried the Hokage.
Suddenly noises could be heard, Yue stopped crying and snapped her head towards the origin of the sound. She rapidly got up and hid behind a wall. Suddenly, Kabuto and a Konoha ninja with a blank white mask appeared into scene.
"You know the deal" the Konoha nin began.
"I know. Danzo gives us information, allows our spies to stay undiscovered in Konoha and show us a way in and out of Konoha, in return of the discoveries on the sharingan experiments and the ones done with the First's genes. You Roots need to stop being so suspicious" he laughed falsely "Or did you forget how I was the one to place all those sharingan eyes into your master's left arm and right eye? We pay our due, never forget that" Kabuto glared for a second before putting that fake smile of his on his face again.
"Though I'm still surprised about how Danzo was capable of cornering the Uchiha Clan into a state of rage and paranoia and then order their heir kill all of them, under the Hokage's noses when he was not even capable of taking the Hokage's seat even after his complot with Hanzo's during the Second and Third Shinobi War. Then again, I can't complain he did give us all those sharingan eyes to experiment on" he mussed out loud, sighing when he had no response of the Root member "You can't be provoked, can you? Perfect lifeless dolls... then again, that's why I like this brainwashing program of Danzo's so much" Kabuto laughed like a maniac, sending shivers down Yue's spine "Shu, she, get going little Root ninja" he sent the Konoha nin away.
He then turned around and saw some strands of silver hair coming from behind the wall, an evil smirk appeared on his face as he said: "Oh, oh, Yue darling, it seems that we are going to play all night long"
The fragment of memory suddenly froze. The real Yue only stare at the scene in front of her, her younger cowering self and the malicious Kabuto reaching out for her. Sarutobi, on the other hand, was having his whole world turned upside down. Danzo still went ahead with his Root program, something that the Hokage knew and could forgive to certain degree. But his complot with Hanzo? That's war treachery of the worst kind! The penalty is death... not to mention a possible war against Ame if they ever find out about it. After all, Danzo must have helped that dictator continue on power and terrorize those lands. Then he also lead the Uchiha masacre and formed an alliance with a traitor, giving him who knows how much information.
And it all happened right under his nose... Sarutobi then knew that he could no longer lead this village. He had had a good run but he lost his touch which lead to so many monstrosities and the death of the one he loved like a grandson: Naruto...
However, he won't leave the seat of power without one last stand.
"He then tortured me until he erased a whole day of my memories" Yue answered monotonously, not taking her eyes off the frozen scene in front of her "Or at least, that's what he thought. Good thing about my kekkei genkai is that everything heals, even the brain... or bad thing if you really think about it"
"Why didn't you tell us about this before?" the Hokage asked, brokenly, still in disbelief of such betrayal from his dear friend.
"With all due respect Hokage, but do you really can't see why I hid this from you?" her shape and unforgiven tone almost made the old man wince, only decades of practice didn't have him breaking down right there "Danzo had been betraying you for decades under your nose, having you play along for every plan of his. Me, someone who has been held captive by a missing nin from Konoha appears out of the blue safe and sound claiming that a war hero was betraying his village on the worst way possible. Who would you have believed? My memories could have been forged or something like that. I would have ended up at Danzo's jail and then back to Orochimaru's laboratory for experimentations"
Sarutobi looked down in shame, knowing that her words were true and could not be refute. He has never been so ashamed of himself as a Hokage ever in his entire life.
"I needed proof. So, I kept looking for his hiding spot. To where the Root's quarter was held. I found it, it isn't that hard if you know what you are looking for.I just had to follow the malice"
"Malice?" the Third cut the girl off, confused by her wording.
"I am a sensor Hokage-sama. Every Root member has a curse seal on their tongues. I didn't know what was that malice I felt from the man with a white mask, until I met branch members from the Hyuga Clan" Yue answered, gaining an approval look from Sarutobi- Inoichi had already given his before.
"I sent an Anbu squad there for intel, we need confirmation after all" Inoichi added.
"Good call" Sarutobi sighed "We better return, they must be back already"
Yue's P.O.V:
I looked patiently as Jiji looked folder after folder, face darkening by every piece of information he read. How Danzo was the one that allowed the masked man to enter Konoha both times, during the masacre and the Kyubi incident. How his ex-team members, the Elders, were aware of his Root program and helped during the Uchiha masacre. How Danzo planned out Tsunade-baachan's little brother's death because he did not like to have such a strong blood limit, like it is the wood release, not under his control. The verification of everything that was said in my fake memory. And some fake paperwork about him stalking my family and then setting up the ambushed we suffered.
I was so glad that the Hokage was so angry at his ex-friend that he did not notice how easy it was to find all this information. As if it had been placed right there to be found...
I made my best effort not to smile pleased when he commanded the Clan Heads to kill Danzo for treason of the worst kind. Not even all those sharingan could have saved him from the earth of the best jounin of Konoha. The Root members around already neutralized by the Hokage's bodyguards. The Elders tried to protest but they were held back by the Anbu squad Inoichi-san had sent to infiltrate on Root. The Elders were stripped of their titles, position in the ninja community and branded as outcasts. To no where to run to or get help from, they would live the life I did when I was Naruto... maybe even worse.
Some dark side inside of me was pleased by all of this.
'Checkmate bitches' I sniggered.
'That's what happens when you anger a fox' agreed Kurama.
