Chapter-15

The meeting took place on the second floor of the Uzumaki Safe-House which was located near the coast, south from the Hidden Hot Water Village. There were three people sitting in custom wooden chairs made by Kitsune using his Mokuton (Wood Release), around an elegant triangular table. At the end of each corner of the triangle, a person of team Uzu was sitting. They had no masks on as this was the most secure room in the whole house. The three were currently making a plan to get rid of Danzo.

"To trap him, we will have to lure him out. If we do something to let him know that we have some information that can harm his position in Konoha or get him arrested, he is bound to make a mistake." Aiko said. Her medium length red hair was tied up in a ponytail and her once warm brown eyes now held no emotion. She had a score to settle with Danzo. He was the man who had destroyed the lives of her brother and Sasuke. If it wasn't for him, the two would be living in Konoha peacefully.

"Aiko is right; Danzo is the kind of man who makes a mountain out of a mole hill. If he sees a threat, he will do anything in his power to eliminate it and if we are the threat, he will take extra precautions and make a mistake. That's when we strike." Sasuke said, with a smirk on his face. He was still sporting his 'Duck-Butt' hairstyle and his eyes were glinting with revenge. Sasuke finally had the chance to bring his clan justice. Sasuke had been empathic at times, he wasn't cold-hearted anymore but Danzo didn't deserve any mercy. That man was responsible for killing off the whole Uchiha clan including all of the innocent children and in the end, he blamed it all on Itachi.

"Both of you might be right, but we need some concrete evidence that will really shake him up. The more worried he is, the more are the chances of him making a mistake." Naruto said. His hair was even longer and messier and looked like a copy of his father's. He had spent days finding everything he could about Danzo in all of the previously made and used Uzumaki safe houses. The Uzumaki had vast libraries and the number of books and notes written about him were humongous. Some praising him while others criticizing him. He so many reasons to get rid of Danzo that if he started, it would at least take him a day to get through all of them. "I think we might have to contact him. He might have some evidence that might help us."

"Can't we use some other information or something that doesn't involve 'him' ? " Sasuke asked. He knew that the man Naruto was talking about was a dangerous one.

"We have no choice. The information we have is fresh and Danzo can easily cover it up and make us look like fools." Naruto said, he was clearly not pleased with this idea, but they had to do this. "He was the one that been there during the war. We need to meet up with Shintaru."

"Fine. But it would be better if you two went. I remember pissing him off last time. Till then I will go through Orochimaru's files on the Uchiha and his experiments to get the Sharingan and I am also thinking of offering a pair of Sharingan to Kara, she has been loyal to me and cats are the only ones that can handle the Sharingan like the Uchiha." He said, he had already been thinking about what to do with all of the pairs of Sharingans Naruto and Ino had found in Orochimaru's hideout.

"Okay, guess Anija and I will have to make the old man give us some information. Sounds fun." Aiko said sarcastically.

With that, Naruto and Aiko left for the Hidden Valleys Village and Sasuke ended up in Sora-ku, where he also tried to get some information out of Danzo's men that he had captured on their last mission.

- Time skip (A town present in the Land of Rivers)

Numata was a small town which was known for its celebration of festivals and delicious rice. The rice grown here was so good that the sake made from it sometimes cost a fortune. Numata was a bit far away from the 'Village hidden in the Valleys'. The town was present in between Konoha, Suna and Kumo, so it was pretty crowded during certain times of the year.

In one of the Shokudo, or 'casual restaurants', two ordinary looking people were sitting and enjoying the restaurant's famous Donburi (A rice bowl with custom toppings.) with a side of Makizushi. (The rolled sushi). The small restaurant was almost empty as people had already finished their lunch by four in the afternoon.

"The rice here is made different. People weren't kidding when they said that this place had the best rice in the place." The girl said placing a roll of Makizushi in her mouth.

"You are right about that. I can't wait to make Neko jealous by hyping up this place." The boy said, finishing off his bowl of Donburi."Are you enjoying yourself, Suzume?" He asked looking up from his bowl and moving onto his plate of Makizushi. He originally wanted to eat ramen, but changed his mind and decided to try something new.

"Hm. I like moments like these when we can just sit and talk like normal siblings." She said after chewing her last roll of Makizushi.

"I know, but life isn't that simple. Once all of this is over, we will spend more time together as siblings." He said. He found himself repeating that sentence again. 'Once all of this is over.' He had said that same sentence to the girl he loved, his mother figure, his godfather and now his sister. That was one his many dreams. He wanted to spend more time as a son, a brother and a loving boyfriend instead of staying in the dark all the time. He was happy with his current life, but it wasn't the life that he dreamt of. Maybe getting rid of Danzo might clear a little of this mess up, he thought. He quietly finished his Makizushi and ordered two cups of tea for Suzume and himself.

"Anija, he's here." Suzume said, finishing her tea and putting her cup down. A minute later an old man walked past them and sat in the last booth. 4:30 on the dot, the two thought immediately, they had studied his schedule and planned accordingly. The boy finished his tea and paid the bill. The two then walked to the lat booth and sat down on the seat across the old man. The old man's eyes were closed, as to trick people into thinking that he was sleep.

"Can I help you two?" The man asked opening one of his eyes.

"I believe you can, Shintaru." The boy said. The old man opened his eyes and put his hands on the table, interlocking his fingers with each other. As soon as he heard his name, he knew that they were here for business." We need information on Danzo." The boy paused, waiting for an answer, but when he received none, he continued on."We need to know what happened that night during the war."

"I believe you have come to the wrong place." The old man said without a change in his expression.

"I know that you know what happened that night, Shintaru." Suzume said.

"Okay, but what's in it for me?" The man questioned, leaning back with a smirk on his face.

"Half a million Ryo." The boy did not receive an answer so he knew that he had to use his negotiation skills. "And the public humiliation of Danzo along with his death. Come on old man, wouldn't you want the man who gave you that to get what he deserves?" The boy said, pointing towards the scar on the old man's face. The old man's eyes lit up.

"Fine. One million ryo and public humiliation of Danzo and his death." The boy nodded in agreement. "Were you two followed?" He asked leaning towards them. The two shook their heads. For the next ten minutes, Shintaru gave them all of the information that he had about Danzo and evidence for Danzo's actions that night. After that the boy handed the old man a scroll containing one million ryo and the two left the restaurant, taking Takeout for Neko. As soon as they were away from the town, they both took of the seal tags present on their hands and turned into their original selves with their masks on. They had used Kitsune's special Henge tags for this mission. With this, they were a bit closer to their targets.

-Time skip (The Uzumaki Safe-House.)

"This information is gold!" Sasuke said looking up from the file. The three were present in the same room again, only this time, they had answers. "If we just send him this photograph, he'll be shaking in his boots." He said, passing the picture to the two.

"Yeah. And if we threaten to pass this information to Konoha if he doesn't comply with our demands, he will do anything." Aiko said with a devilish grin. "We should ask him for money."

"Twelve million ryo?" Naruto asked. After receiving a nod of conformation, he continued."We should call him somewhere far from Konoha so that he cannot call for backup. Any suggestions, Sasuke? "

"I have a place in mind. The bridge between the land of Fire and The land of Lightning." Sasuke said, getting up."I'll send one of my cats to carry the message."

"I'll send one of my toads to baa-chan with all of our leverage on the Civilian Council and the Village Elders and ask her to arrest all of them while Danzo is gone." With that the three left to train. They knew that defeating Danzo might not be easy, so they had a lot to prepare for. One thing was sure; they were going to change Konoha for the better in the coming week.

The next day a black cat was standing at the entrance of the Root organization ruled by Danzo. She knocked out some of the guards and entered the Root, her new Sharingan were activated. She quickly found Danzo's room and passed all of the security on her way there. She then placed the letter on Danzo's desk and was reverse summoned back to Sora-ku. A few minutes later, the old war hawk entered his office, with a smile on his face. He had just had an idea which could help him overthrow Tsunade and become the Sixth Hokage. As soon as he saw the letter, he noticed a cat paw stamp with the Uchiha crest in the middle. Out of curiosity, he opened the letter. As soon as he opened the letter, all of the color drained from his face. He saw the photograph of him on that night years ago. He continued reading and after finishing, he came to a conclusion. He had to kill team Uzu. They knew too much about. He immediately called his right-hand man, Fuu Yamanaka. The Orange-head entered the room, with no expression on his face. He had learnt to suppress his emotions ever since he was eight.

"At your service, Danzo-sama." He said bowing down.

"Rise, Fuu." Danzo said giving him a stern look. "I want Torune, Kairi and you to come with me on an execution mission. If we want to make Konoha the greatest nation of all, we have to do this." Danzo lied; he just didn't want his secrets to be revealed. "The Hokage must not know about any of this." Fuu nodded in agreement, he had learnt not to question Danzo a while ago. "Prepare for the mission, we leave in three days." He said dismissing the Yamanaka.

On one side, Danzo was infuriated, while on the other side, Tsunade was rejoicing. She had gotten a letter from Kitsune which would lead to the arrest of the Village elders and the Civilian Council. She had already asked Shizune to look for a new Civilian council. Now all she had to do was wait for three days. These three days might be the longest three days of her life, but she didn't care as long as she could save the Konoha and its future. She took out a bottle from her special stock and decided to get drunk on this occasion.

At the Uzumaki house, the three ninjas were fully concentrated on their training. They had to be at their best when they faced off against Danzo.


A/N

Well another chapter down! This is the final chapter before Danzo's death. I don't know if you have noticed the change in style of writing, but if you have, please let me know if you liked it. I have been reading the latest book in the Alex Riser series, Nightshade, so decided to try that writing style out. If anyone wants to start a new series, I highly recommend 'Alex Rider' or 'The Power of Five'. Please leave a review about the chapter as I love reading your opinions on the story. If you do have a cool idea for the future chapters, PM me.

That's all for now.

Peace!
