Mya groaned as the bed beside her shifted and she curled further into the blanket that was pulled up to her chin. "Wake up, it's time to go." Cracking one eye open slowly, she watched as Sasuke walked around his old bedroom. Reaching over to the side, she grabbed the band and secured it around her eyes, finally allowing herself to sit up. "Who are we interrogating?"

"We could use anyone within the council, specifically Danzō Shimua, but from the intelligence I have been able to gather on him, he would be a harder target and we are attempting to keep a low profile. Also, I believe that Third Hokage would have known about it, but we cannot interrogate him." She said as her and Sasuke leapt out of the Uchiha compound and back into the forest surrounding the village.

"We will not go after Danzō just yet, if he is that troublesome. We are to keep quiet while we are here." She couldn't agree with him more.

"The other two are Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane. Which would you prefer?" She asked as she listened to the village. Everyone was heading to bed, so now would be the best time for them to move out. It would ensure that their target was comfortable, but not yet asleep. That would provide the best opportunity for them.

"Homura Mitokado." Sasuke said as his Sharingan activated.

"He lives in a house that is close to the Hokage tower. Follow me." She jumped and Sasuke quickly followed behind her. They jumped from rooftop to rooftop, stopping when they were two houses from their target. "Alright, let me enter first. If you do not need to enter, then it is best to keep your identity a secret. They do not know me." Sasuke didn't reply to her statement, but when he kneeled down on the roof, she took that as his agreement.

Jumping into Homura's window, she kept to the shadows. She could hear him in the kitchen, currently making himself something to drink before he decided to lay down in bed. Opening his bedroom door slightly, she made her way into the hallway. Focusing on her chakra, she ensured that it was completely hidden. When he turned to go to his bedroom, that was when she struck. Grabbing his neck, she forced his back against the refrigerator; forcing him to drop his glass of water and shatter the cup.

"I need some information." She said as her grip around his neck tightened. "I'm not going to hurt you; this can all be painless if you just listen." Reaching behind her, she grabbed the band and allowed it to fall onto her shoulder. Her eyes stared into his as everything within his head began to flow into her mind. She needed to focus, the Uchiha massacre happened almost ten years ago. Forcing the images aside, she pushed farther into his mind. She smiled when she found what she was looking for.


"Danzō! What the hell were you thinking?!" The third Hokage screamed as he slammed a scroll on the table.

"It had to be done, for the safety of Konoha." Danzō said, shrugging his shoulders like what he had ordered was his breakfast. Like he had not just ordered the massacre of an entire clan within Konoha's walls.

"This is not how the coup should have been dealt with! We should have sat down with the top Uchiha families and peacefully talked to them about the attack they were planning!" The third Hokage was outraged, he couldn't believe that one of his council had even thought this was a necessary evil. Homura and Koharu sat in their respected seats, attempting to understand both sides of the argument. Part of them was disgusted the Danzō had ordered this, but another part of them had understood.

The Uchiha clan was powerful, they could have easily wiped out most of Konoha without ever truly trying. "You are removed from my council, your organization, Root, is to be disbanded. I never want to hear your name or see you ever again! Leave, now!" The Hokage screamed and Danzō bowed and quietly left the office.

"Third, was that truly necessary. He was only looking out for the best of Konoha." Koharu spoke.

"He should not have done that, he convinced Itachi that it was the best course of action; forcing him to take action against his own family to ensure his brothers safety. That is not something that should have ever happened. At least now we have eyes within the Akatsuki."


Mya dropped Homura, allowing him to fall to the ground, and gripped her head tightly. She had never actually attempted to go that far back into someone's memories. It was rough on her, and the pounding in her head had proven it. Homura quickly jumped to his feet, shoving her aside and ran into his bedroom; most likely calling the ANBU here. Re-wrapping her eyes, she jumped out of the nearest window and made her way back to Sasuke. "We need to go." She said, but it was groggy.

"What is wrong with you?" Sasuke asked as he activated his Sharingan and glanced around him. He could feel people moving towards them.

"Had to go back ten years to get your information. We need to go now." She said as Sasuke gripped her forearm tightly and began to leave the village; practically dragging her along with him. When he felt that they were far enough away from the village, he finally released her arm and she figured that she had a hand print bruise already forming. She wasn't mad though; she was in no shape to get away from the ANBU alone. This was Sasuke's form of being helpful.

"What did you find out?" He asked when he was certain they were completely alone.

Leaning her back against a tree, she replayed Homura's memory within her mind. "Your brother was tricked. Danzō had confronted him, told him that if he did not kill the entire Uchiha clan, he would not spare you. Itachi chose to kill the Uchiha clan and spare you, forcing the third Hokage to protect you from Danzō." She said, allowing the back of her head to rest against the tree with her eyes closed.

"Why were they going to attack the Uchiha clan in the first place?" Mya could hear the venom in his voice, he was pissed. If she did not settle this quickly, he would burn the entire village down and not give a damn who was in there.

"They were planning a coup. When the Uchiha felt isolated, by being forced to live on the outskirts of the village, they decided they had enough. This is when it started and Itachi was trying to save his clan and the village; at least at first. When Danzō approached him, it wasn't with the consent of the village leaders. It was Danzō's plan the entire time. Itach agreed so that he could protect you." Standing from the ground, she turned towards Sasuke. Even though her eyes were bound, she could still show him that what she was saying was important.

Laying her hand on his shoulder, she felt his stiffness under her touch. "Itachi chose to sacrifice the entire Uchiha clan so that he could protect you from any of the aftermath of the coup or Danzō." When she was finally finished speaking, the silence between them was deafening.

Shoving her hand off his shoulder, he walked away from her. "I need to think." She knew that he would say that. Everything he had thought for the last ten years was a lie. His brother wasn't a monster, he didn't kill his clan for power. He did it so that he could protect Sasuke from their own family.
