"I don't know about that one Koharu." Ignoring her gasp and look of shock, the Fire Daimyo walked on in the Hokage office and took the seat behind the desk as Minato moved. "You told me that you were having trouble with Minato about the Jinchuuriki and I said that I would talk to him. I never told you that I was going to say such a thing."

With a sigh as he turned to the Daimyo, Minato closed his eyes as he bowed his head. "I am sorry that they have drug you into this My Lord. However I am almost positive that they have not told you everything that you need to know about what has happened in the twelve years since my son was born."

"We told him…" Homura stopped when Minato turned and glared at him with cold eyes. "Minato…."

Moving to stand just before the Daimyo, Minato opened calm eyes. "I started to train Naruto when he was small. No more than four or five years old. He has trained with me and Itachi Uchiha since then. Five years ago, the night before the birth of my twin daughters, myself, along with all the Uchiha Clan did away with the Root, or Foundation whatever they wanted to call themselves. Three got away, Danzo, Tourne Aburame, and Fuu Yamanaka. That was the actual start of everything."

His eyes closed as he fanned himself, the Daimyo took a deep breath. "I see. Well the Foundation was Homura and Koharu's pride and joy. Trained and tasked with hunting down rouge ninja that left the Leaf. I can see why they are miffed about that. But what prompted this Minato?"

"What prompted it was Danzo's order to Itachi Uchiha to slaughter the entire Uchiha Clan once he realized that Itachi had the Mongekyo Sharingan." When the Daimyo's eyes went wide Minato nodded as he pulled a scroll from his pack and laid it out. Touching the seal he released it and there were five other scrolls there. "That details every interaction that Itachi had with Danzo. And that he was told to kill his clan, including his parents and little brother or the Foundation would do it and they would suffer. He came to me and I decided to put an end to it. Over the course of a couple years. Then I stood with the Uchiha Clan and ended the Foundation as they came to do exactly what Danzo said that they did."

Turning and glaring at Homura and Koharu, Minato narrowed his eyes. "I had a clone take them atop the stone faces so they could see what happened and know the Foundation was over."

"But why would Danzo want to destroy the Uchiha Clan is what I don't understand." When Minato's blue eyes turned back to him, the Daimyo had a rather serious look on his face. "And the last Uchiha known to have the Mongekyo Sharingan was Madara and his little brother. How did Itachi get it?"

"He got it because he killed Shisui Uchiha!" Moving up next to Minato, Homura had to do something to sway this into his favor or they were going to be out of luck! "He killed his best friend to get the eye. Knowing that it could exist like that there was only one thing that could be done and they needed to end. That is why."

Not even looking at the man next to him, Minato took a deep breath. "Except that is not exactly how it happened. Rumors were being spread through the Uchiha that I thought someone from the village took the fox from Kushina and nearly destroyed our village twelve years ago. It was an Uchiha that I fought that controlled the fox, but not one from our village. At least not anymore. Madara Uchiha was the only one that it could have been. And look what Orochimaru has done. It is possible that he is still alive today. Itachi played a double hand for me. Feeding the Foundation what I wanted them to know. And letting the entire clan think that I did think that. Shisui however, thought of ending the feud without any bloodshed. He wanted to put the entire Uchiha Clan into a Genjutsu that would last forever. Ending the uprising that the Uchiha were planning. Danzo went after him and took one of his eyes and has it in himself. He willingly gave the other eye to Itachi, ending his life and letting Itachi open the Mongekyo Sharingan, in hopes of saving the Uchiha Clan."

Stepping up, Koharu had to get the subject to turn. She hated that this Daimyo already liked Minato far too much. "In any event. What has happened and not happened with the Uchiha and the Foundation makes no difference now. However, he has been training his son, who is the Jinchuuriki of the nine tailed fox how to do jutsu. A Ninja. If that seal was to weaken it would be disaster for us all. The child needs to be constantly watched and kept inside the walls of the village. Even have his chakra sealed aw…."

"I will not do that to him Koharu damnit I told you that!" Pulling shocked gasps from everyone Minato turned and glared at the elders before going back to the Daimyo. "First off the seal works on how strong my chakra is. It has nothing to do with how strong or not strong my son is. The seal will hold. Second, Naruto knows about the fox. He knows the dangers and he isn't as stupid and naïve as they think he is. He will be a great ninja one day. I will make sure of it."

"We cannot allow this!" Homura turned to the Daimyo as he glared. "It could destroy not only our village but the Land of Fire as whole!"

Taking a deep breath, the Damiyo stood and walked over to the Kage pictures. His great, great, great grandfather watched the building and founding blocks of the Leaf Village in the Land of Fire. His great, great grandfather watched as the First and Second Hokage defended and taught the third. His great grandfather and grandfather watched as the Third lead with a different way that helped the Leaf Flurish. It was the Third that pushed for Minato to become the Fourth Hokage when he did.

Turning back to everyone he flipped his fan out and began to fan himself again. "I believe that I know exactly what needs to be done here about everything." Looking first to the smiles of Homura and Koharu, he sighed. "The two of you are not getting your way on this."

When all they did was gasp, he smiled as he went to Minato and held a hand out shaking it. "Make him strong Minato. I hear his dream is to be Hokage someday. With you as Hokage and his father. I look forward to seeing that day happen. Don't let some outdated old fools get in your way ever. Or his."

After he let go of his hand, Minato gave him a bow with a smile. "Thank you very much My Lord. I will do just that."

"Very good. Well I am going home now. My wife absolutely hates it when I stay gone too long." The Daimyo then floated out of the room with a smile as he fanned himself some more. "A nice breeze on the way home sounds nice."

Turning back to sit at his desk, Minato didn't even look up. "You heard it straight from him. Back off."

Dropping her head, Koharu just left. That was their last chance to do something about this child. Now the village was doomed. She only hoped that the ninja of today were good enough to defend it.

Shaking his head, Homura just looked at Minato as he went back to work. "You have no clue what you are doing Minato. That fox is a monster. Your son cannot hope to control it. Just know that if anything bad happens to this village. It is on your head."

Looking up as Minato walked back in the house, Nagisa blinked as she sat on the couch. "Minato?"

Going and sitting next to his wife, Minato sighed as he put his hand on her knee. "Homura and Koharu brought the Daimyo in to see me today." Feeling her flinch he laughed. "He liked me when they named me Hokage. They told him half of what he needed to know about what was going on with Naruto and thought he would order me to seal his chakra and keep him in the village. But it backfired on them."

Smiling as she looked back down at her crochet work, Nagisa sighed. "That is good. I don't think that Naruto would have agreed to do that anyway."

"Indeed." But before he could say or do anything, they heard a knock on the door. Going to the door he opened it to find a crow standing on the floor. When it flew in his eyes hardened. It was from Itachi.

"What is the crow doing in here Minato?" Moving into the kitchen as it landed on Minato's chair, Nagisa blinked. "it is pretty though."

"This is from Itachi." Reaching out and pulling the small scroll from its leg Minato sighed. When he opened it, he felt sick. Tazuna lied to them about what he needed protection from. Ninja were involved, but he was pleased with how Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura handled it with each other. They wanted to continue. "Damnit."

"What is it? Did something happen to Naruto?"

Looking down into worried amethyst eyes, Minato shook his head. "No nothing happened to him. I sent him out of the village on the escort mission today remember?" When she nodded, Minato sighed. "The Demon Brothers, two Chunin brothers from the Assassination Squad in the Hidden Mist were waiting outside the village for the bridge builder. No one was hurt and Itachi took care of it. But with ninja after him, it would have been a B Rank and I wouldn't have sent them. Sakura doesn't have the training that Naruto and Sasuke do. But they all wanted to continue on so they are going to go on with the mission."

"Do you think they will be alright?" Nagisa reached out and took Minato's clothes. Now she was really worried about him.

Smiling as he took her hand and lead her toward the back door, Minato laughed. "I am sure. He is a good ninja, so is Sasuke. And Itachi is with them. They are more than enough to protect not onlyt he bridge builder, but Sakura as well. Right now we have girls that are going to want training."
