Check out Animescale on youtube for how I am scaling Mika...

This is an all time favorite chapter for me, period of all of my stories.

Should I show the next chunin exams or make up my own version of them?


In the Council Room

'I never really was fond of the Third Hokage but this is...' Mika thought as he learned, like everyone else present, the horrors of ROOT and what Hiruzen allowed Danzo to do. Stepping forward, Mika spoke. "So you are saying that Danzo is at least partially responsble for the Uchiha clan being slaughtered, the creation of the Akatsuki? What is next, he paved the way for Hinata's kidnapping?"

Tsunade sighed. "No, shockingly enough, that was not on his hands... but he did and has encouraged the use of the Hyuuga curse mark, even when others begged for it's removal."

Killer intent expldoed from Mika, Hinata, and Hiashi. "What?" Hiashi asked, his tone so deadly even Tsunade seemed nervous.

"Yes, he even essentally used emotional blackmail on my sensei to keep it in use. Which leads me to my next point, I am changing the Second's law and making the Hyuuga curse mark illegal. It will be removed and it will be banned, now and forever."

Hiashi sighed. "If you do that, the main branch may kill my kin... Mika, Hinata and I are already working on a way to undo the mark entirely. That is largely why Mika is training in sealing at all."

"Of course it is, that boy has his fingers in so many pots..." She glared at Mika, who blew her a kiss subtly. "I swear, he is Orochimaru good clone, he was the only other person who did as much for the Leaf. Few know it, the knowledge was supressed by my sensei out of shame, but Orochimaru revolutionized the medical field and many other fields in the village even before his experiments... He was as much a war hero as Minato was, but his accomplishments were never revealed due to my Sensei being weak. I refuse to do the same, I will not falter as our predecessors have."

Mika smiled. " That is a good thing, My lady, be proud of that."

"Mika, you are studying sealing to undo the Curse marks, both on you and Anko as well as on the Hyuuga clan?" Mika nodded. " Then you will have access to Orochimaru notes on the subject, on both subjects, that Danzo secreted away. I know you are just reaching level three mastery, but it cannot hurt to give you access. Consider this an ongoing A rank mission, one you will be completing with your clone mostly. I will only reveal the law making the Hyuuga Curse Mark illegal once you have undone it. I would help train you in seals, but I am far too busy with cleaning up Danzo's crap and training two genin and heading the hosptial and being Hokage and training my own powers since the fight with Danzo made it clear how rusty I am. I could have killed him ten times faster twenty years ago."

A puff of smoke made everyone freeze, only to reveal small toad. " Hey, old Lady Tsunade! I have a message from Naruto. Jiraiya ain't training him, he wants someone named Mika to teach him! Can he come back?"

Tsunade and Mika both groaned. "Mika, do you think you can help him?"

Mika sighed. "I am far too strethced as it is. I am training myself, acting as your gaurd, working at the hosptial part time, training with Shizune, training with my clone to master sealing, working with Hanabi and eventually sparring with Sakura and Ino to help you with their training... It is too much. I can help him at times, but I doIf I could make more clones, maybe, but even with your chakra I would be unable to handle the strain of it..." His eyes went wide. "Wait, I am so slow at times. Kakashi was a craptastic teacher, so not him,... but didn't you mention that you had an ANBU sword master retiring from ANBU?"

Her eyes went wide. "Yugao, yes... and she is a kenjustu master, gifted taijutsu user, sensor, sealer and has fantastic chakra control. She is also a great tracker, Naruto would flourish with her guidance and the sternness of her personality. Excellent idea. Toad, tell Jiraiya to bring Naruto back immediately! Tell him this is an order straight from the Hokage!"

The toad saluted her. "Yes, ma'am!" And poofed away.

"Now... where were we,... oh yes, since you all know the truth of Mika working on the seal, I order you to keep quiet about that as well as on the Uchiha clan massacure. I want to reveal that personally... maybe not at all, it could cause a mass defection if twisted wrong... damn you sensei, leaving me with such a mess." Her eyes widened. "Oh yes, there is one more thing, for Hinata and Mika but you all should hear this. The Chunin exams will begin in two months, Sand and Leaf will have a joined chunin exams. I want a great showing! Mika, Hinata, you will be going to Mist to get them to join us in this, we will need as many allies as we can get in the coming days, especially with the Akatsuki have real reason to hate us. You will leave tomorrow, but first we must discuss what you are to do, say and so on, I would send more expeirnced ninja, but this...we simply lack the man power.

Now go all of you... and I thank you, forever, for your loyalty..."

Mika approached Tsunade as everyone left. "I am sorry to have caused so much trouble with Danzo."

"It wasn't your fault, at all... but thank you. Sigh, we are going to have a rough couple of years ahead. I can only hope we are able to prepare ourselves for it all. The Hyuuga mark removal, making Mist and ally... these are only baby steps... Mika, you must get as strong as possible, train Ghost and Hanabi to be as strong as you can! In the last thirteen years, we lost Minato, Kushina, Fugaku, Shisui, Danzo, Orochimaru and Itachi, all powerful S rank ninja. We are at our weakest ever. We need more allies, more power. I pray it will be enough... from Danzo's notes, there maybe as many as seven S ranked ninja in the Akatsuki, we cannot afford weakness."

Mika grabbed her hand. "I know, I know... we all must play our part, I will do my damndest to play mine. Like you, I pray it will be enough."

They stood like that for quite a few minutes, the weight of the future upon them all...


Chapter end, tell me what you think in the reviews.

This was a blast to write, a great chapter that I am so proud of!

Love, your Ninja Overlord,

Mika.
