"Naruto" Normal speech
'Naruto' Normal Thought
"Rasengan" Jutsu/Seal.
Konohagakure no Sato
One year later
During the past year, Naruto, Sasuke and Itachi has become like brothers. To Sasuke and Itachi, Naruto was a brother in anything, but blood. Mikoto Uchiha very glad that her sons have bonded with Naruto. She was glad that Sasuke has at least one friend.
Fugaku was neutral towards their relationship. He didn't hate Naruto, but not actually glad either. Though the majority of the Uchiha clan was the other matter. Each time they looked at Naruto, it remind of them the accusation of the elders about the Kyuubi being control by Sharingan, and thus the suspicion all fall on the Uchiha clan. Naruto didn't actually care. All he care is what Sasuke and Itachi think about him that's all.
Sandaime Hokage, slowly, but no longer suspicious about Naruto. He no longer ordered for Kakashi to spy on him anymore.
The problem was the elders and Danzou. When they heard that Naruto accidentally found an entrance to Uzushiogakure ruins, they wanted to either wipe out all his memories or kill him, after they extract the Kyuubi from him.
Danzou reacted differently. After he heard that there was a possibility that Naruto may discover Konoha's darkest secret. He just wanted to kill him off as soon as possible.
Hiruzen somehow managed to convince them that everything is alright and they don't need to worry about that. The elders reluctantly agreed and just leave things like that. Danzou though, not so naive and tried to find out what really happened the week of a year ago.
Right now, they are worried about the coup d'état that may happened any time. The Uchihas began to behave suspiciously, according to their double-spy, Uchiha Itachi.
Hokage's tower
Meeting room
Hiruzen Sarutobi, Homura Mitokado, Koharu Utatane and Shimura Danzou are currently discussing the matter of Uchiha clan.
"There are too many unanswered questions surrounding this recent Kyuubi incident" said Hiruzen with crossed hands
"I thought that Kushina's seal had been broken. But that doesn't explain why Biwako and the ANBU were killed." said Koharu.
"Which means someone is behind this" said Homura
"Like someone from Uchiha?" offered Danzou.
With that all the others in the room turned their attention to him. Hiruzen narrowed his eyes and asked.
"Why do you say that?"
"Even if Kyuubi broken free, it would have just gone wild. Without someone to control it, it couldn't have caused this incident" answered Danzou looking at Hiruzen.
"That could happen. Sharingan, if mastered enough could used a powerful genjutsu to control it. Though for what purpose" said Koharu and wondered.
"Isn't it obvious? To regain their position of power within Konoha" said Danzou.
"Oh, I understand now" said Homura.
Hiruzen after listened to the deduction of his teammate and his rival, decided to talk.
"That's just conjecture"
"We must increase our surveillance of Uchiha, as well as the Kyuubi brat. We must keep them under 24-hour watch" said Danzou.
"I told you before, Danzou! Naruto-kun didn't know anything. We don't have any reason to spy on him anymore. He is just a seven-year old boy" retort Hiruzen definitely not pleased as Danzou decided to bring Naruto in this.
"You are too naive Hiruzen! Have you forgotten that he is the Kyuubi jinchuuriki, as well as the last Uzumaki? You said it yourself even at this age his potential is far greater than anyone before in the history. And he is associating with the Uchihas right now. If they joined forces, it will be a disaster" said Danzou frustrated at his rival's naivety.
"Inoichi has checked his mind and all of it was the truth. Naruto-kun associated with only Sasuke-kun and Itachi-kun only. The other Uchihas still despise him" retort Hiruzen.
"We just need to keep eyes on the Uchihas, for now. Naruto no matter how powerful he is, still only a seven years old child. Plus, he still didn't learn how to tap to the Kyuubi chakra just yet" said Koharu.
"I agree. Better be safe than sorry" said Homura.
"Wait! We didn't have any proof that Uchihas are responsible for this" retort Hiruzen and stood up from his seat
"That's precisely why this is necessary. And of nothing comes out of it... It will prove that the Uchiha are innocents" said Danzou.
Naruto's apartment
Naruto is currently thinking about the situation with Uchiha. Naruto noticed that about two weeks ago, Itachi began to act distantly towards Sasuke and him. That's why when they met last time he implied a spying seal when he proposes to shake hands with him. Therefore he knew all about the secret meetings of Uchiha clan the past year. Of course, Itachi didn't noticed anything, because once an Uzumaki put a seal on his or her target they won't noticed it at all, except if was told.
He knew Itachi pretty well and so he knew what choice Itachi will make. It was a horrible choice, to Naruto, but he understands why Itachi will choose that path. Naruto decided that he won't let that happen no matter what. He didn't want to see his brothers suffering because of Konoha.
His skills with Uzureigan had improved the past year. If he knew the location and the exact time when it will happen, he could show the future that will happen the day ahead.
He will save the Uchiha not because he forgave them, when invading Uzu, but he do it for the sake of his brothers.
Naruto raised the bang to show the Uzureigan and the circle is spinning wildly. Making the impression of the whirlpool in the eye.
Time skip
The west gate of Konoha
Naruto walked silently to his destination. He looked around saw the people doing their works, then they noticed him and began to glare at him with disgust. Naruto didn't react at all he just walked to the destination. He stopped before a boulder and put his hand on it. When he put away his hand there was a seal with kanji for 'giant' there.
With that Naruto turned back and began to walk back.
The day before the coup d'état
Uchiha's training ground
Itachi and Naruto are currently sparring. Sasuke is sitting and watched them sparring. Itachi threw shurikens at Naruto. But Naruto reflected then with his kunai. Itachi rushed forward and kick Naruto on his stomach. Naruto took the hit and began to fly with great speed to the tree.
Itachi looked at the direction where Naruto crashed. When the smoked was cleared he saw the log that has been split in half. Then he glanced back and saw Naruto is in mid-air and threw dozens of shurikens and kunais.
Itachi deflected them with his kunai easily. But he noticed something is not right, when looking at the smirking face of Naruto. Naruto's finger began to twitch and the deflected shuriken suddenly flew back at Itachi. Itachi widen his eyes, then looked at Naruto's finger and noticed the chakra string was attached to the shuriken. Then all the defected weapons began to flew at him, as they were all attached to the chakra strings.
Sasuke widen his eyes at that and also open his mouth in surprise. He knew that Naruto is a genius and have many unpredictable ideas in using weapons, but this is the first time he saw him do something like this.
Itachi jumped back and began to perform the handseals.
"Katon: Goukakyuu no jutsu!"
With that a giant ball of flame annihilates all the weapons. Naruto used the smoke creating by Itachi's jutsu and assault him. Itachi deflects all the the strikes and said.
"I think that's enough sparring for today, Naruto-kun"
Naruto nodded his head then was about to walk away when Itachi said.
"Didn't expect you to actually use the puppetry technique for controlling the shurikens"
Naruto turned back and said.
"I read in a book that Suna is using chakra strings for their puppet techniques. Then I have an idea that I could use with weapons like kunai and shuriken as well"
Itachi blinked when hearing Naruto's didcovery and found it pretty useful. Naruto then turned to Itachi and said.
"One day, the leaf will burn and not even the strongest wind can extinguish. No water will be able to extinguish it. Then it will be swallowed by the unstoppable whirlpool and disappeared leaving no trace behind. Remember this, Itachi"
With that Naruto went back to Sasuke. Itachi hearing what Naruto said and narrowed his eyes. He understands every hidden meaning behind that phrase. He just wanted to know the reason what did Konoha did to Uzu in the past. He doesn't want to kill Naruto. He knew that Naruto is a future threat to Konoha, but he couldn't kill him, as well as Sasuke. Tomorrow night, the coup d'état will happen and he must massacre all his clan.
That night
Uchiha Fugaku couldn't sleep because of what he decides to do tomorrow. He walked out of his room and walked to the lake and looked at the reflection of the moon. Suddenly he felt a presence behind him and turned back shouted.
"Who are you? What do you need here"
It was a figure dressed in a black cloak that hide his entire body. On his face is a fox mask with three eyes on it. He is average looking at looked directly at Fugaku.
"It's a peaceful night. Isn't it, Fugaku-san" said the figure.
Fugaku just gritted his teeth and asked again.
"I asked again. Who are you and what do you need here?"
Then he noticed that there is some kind of barrier around the space they are standing.
The figure sat down and put his hand on the surface of he lake and said.
"It doesn't matter who I am. What is matter is the fate of your clan. That you will destroy in the near future with your action"
Fugaku narrowed his eyes and asked
"The fate of my clan? My action? What do you mean by that?"
The figure turned his mask face and said.
"The coup d'état. You are planning to arrange it tomorrow night, are you not?"
Fugaku hearing that immeadiately took out the kunai and shouted.
"How do you know that? Answer quickly!"
"I am not here to fight with you but to show you what await you in the future, because of your actions" said the figure. Behind the mask the Uzureigan began to spin rapidly.
Fugaku suddenly looked around and noticed that he was transferred to the other place. He asked
"Where am I?"
Then there is a voice coming from all directions and the background around him turned grey.
"I am transferring you temporary to the
future that will await you tomorrow night"
With that Fugaku looked in horror that jus older son began to massacre his clan members one after another. Then he saw how his son stabbed Mikoto to the back, then slashed him in half. Then he was transferred back to the former place.
Fugaku was panting heavily then turned to the mask figure and asked shakingly.
"I-is that all true? I-Itachi will massacre Uchiha clan if the coup d'état happened?"
The mask figure looked at Fugaku and said.
"That's what awaits you in the future of you decided to go through what you planned. That is not the vision, it's the actual future that will happen if not do something. Your action will cause your sons to suffer. You already know that Itachi is a double-spy to Hokage, right? Itachi just don't want for the coup d'état to happen. He loves Konoha after all. Then there is Sasuke, I didn't show you more than your death because it will just makes you feel guiltier. Itachi will spare Sasuke, with the hope that he will bring the new future to Uchiha clan. But that won't happen, because Sasuke will choose the path of revenge and will do anything to kill Itachi. Do you really want that kind of future for your sons, Uchiha Fugaku?"
Fugaku just looked at the ground solemnly.
"I understands that you wanted to regain to prestige and postion that the Uchiha clan once possesed, but now is not the right time. I will eventually destroy the elders and Sandaime Hokage. Then you can get the prestige back for Uchiha , Fugaku-san" said the figure and looked at the moon.
Fugaku looked back at the figure and asked.
"Why do you want the Uchiha to survive? What benefits will that bring you?"
The figure turned back to Fugaku and said something that made him confused.
"I... just don't want for the tragedy to happen again, because of Konoha"
Fugaku sighed and asked.
"No matter the reason. I thank you for stopping me to make the horrible mistake, which will destroy my clan. What should I call you and how do I contact you?"
"That won't be necessary. I won't appear any time soon. Farewell, Fugaku-san" said the figure and used Shunshin to disappear.
Next day
The Elders and Hiruzen were surprised that Fugaku, the leader decided to negotiate with them. He requested that the Uchiha clan was not being observe 24/7 and to clear about the Kyuubi attack matter. After some discussion, they made the conclusion that there was only one Uchiha in history powerful enough to control the Kyuubi. He was Uchiha Madara. With that Hiruzen agreed with the condition and shook hands with Fugaku. When Fugaku left, the elders and Hiruzen began to discuss about the sudden cancel of coup d'état.
"I am very surprised they Fugaku-san suddenly decide on negotiation. He was usually a very stubborn person. There must be some kind of special reason to make him change his mind like that" said Hiruzen.
"I agree. But that's better for Konoha right? With this the Uchiha clan will still exist in Konoha" said Koharu.
"Or maybe, they have some future plans to overthrow us" said Danzou.
"You are too distrustful Danzou" said Hiruzen.
"Any way things has return back to normal for now at least" said Homura.
Uchiha compound
Itachi was extremely surprised to hear that his father decided to cancel the coup d'état and even want to negotiate with Hokage. He didn't know the reason, but he is very happy that he didn't need to massacre his clan. Whoever managed to convince his father he is very grateful for that. Then he recalled Naruto's words and knows that he will leave Konoha sooner or later. He knew that he won't be able to kill Naruto. He, like Sasuke, means very much to him. He also didn't want to report to Hokage about Naruto's words either. He wanted to convince Naruto to stop what he is planning. Then he looked at Sasuke and saw him practice the Katon: Goukakyuu no jutsu. He is so innocent and didn't know what should happen today's night.
Naruto's apartment
Naruto is lying at his bed and looked at the ceiling and began to think.
'The Uchiha massacre may not happen tonight. But the ANBU HQ will be. Let's play a little bit ne, Konoha'
His Uzureigan activate and began to spun wildly. There is a dark smirk on Naruto's face.
