The situation within the Uchiha family has escaped immensely. A gap in their network has led to information regarding the uncovered affair. Fugaku was not pleased in the slightest. Letting Mikoto outside the compound was a mistake, a mistake that has caused more rowdiness among the clan.

Continuing on their Coup d'État would be hard without everyone's full help, provided with the fact that the village did not trust them. And often surveillance the clan's affairs with harmful intentions. At least, that's what the elders believe to be the main goal of the leaf.

Nonetheless, complacency will not be tolerated nor will any complaints. They will begin their uprising in three days. In three days, they will be the head of the hidden leaf.

"Time to bring you home, Mikoto." Clutching his fist at the sickening thought of a simple commoner touching his wife. While his prized eyes spin in anger, albeit with no remorse for his own actions. Everything he has done was for the good of his family.

No commoner would defile his wife, no matter the circumstances that have taken place. she was his and would always be his wife. Until the day she does die, or he departs from this world.

Unbeknownst, to the Uchiha clan head, Itachi was listening. Planning to return all the gained information back to the Third Hokage.

Avarice didn't think of how much time has passed since he had left the women alone. Mikoto needed more support than him, and he would let it happen openly. This Kushina is a ball of energy that is greatly opposite from Mikoto's calm nature.

It didn't matter much, although his mind is on the Uchiha. Fugaku, would not allow his wife to stay forever. And he had to be ready for a potential fight amongst him and the clan head. Chances aren't the greatest for him considering the obvious ocular prowess, but he would take those eyes if he must.

Keeping his eyes on any unknown charka signatures that may make an appearance.

"What are you going to do about Fugkau, Mikoto?" Kushina lays with her friend angry about the situation that she has been enduring.

"I can't do much... Even if I wanted too, no one would listen and would just sweep it under the rug. Regardless, Sasuke and Itachi should be fine as they're that man's pride and joy." Annoyed by the situation, and internally frightened about the uprising.

Masking her face to her usual passive smile, "Don't worry too much about it Kushina." Hoping to deceive her friend of the inner worries of a mother. Sasuke and Itachi are her babies no matter how much they have grown over the last couple of years.

Itachi is in the Anbu had less time to spend with Sasuke, but always managed to make time for her youngest. But, that wasn't enough for Fugaku. He wanted Sasuke to excel in everything that Itachi has done, even better until he was satisfied.

"Mikoto-dattebane!" Kushina shouts out bringing her back to the world of the living.

"Oh.. Kushina. What's wrong? Did you need something?" Breaking from the thoughts that have been haunting her lately.

"Your face tells me that there is something you are not telling me... What is it?" Kushina was no fool and that showed when she deduced Mikoto's true feelings.

"It is the clan. They're planning an uprising and have been for the last couple of months.. I'm just scared that it will cost me my babies, Kushina. Avarice tells me to not worry about it so much, and that everything will be fine. But, it is not! I-I... can't handle it. This affair has cost me everything Kushina.

"Mikoto."

"Sure, the sex is amazing and having someone to talk with is very much appreciated. And he makes me feel special and is honest about everything for the most part. But, I cannot keep my mind off if I should go back. Well, at least, try to go apologize and come back to the clan."

"Mikoto."

"I just need you here for everything, Kushina. The affair, the stress, everything. I don't know what to do, and it's driving me crazy."

Hugging Mikoto into her chest, Kushina strokes the woman's hair. "I'm here for you Mikoto, but you have to tell me when something is wrong. And with this uprising, we need to get word to the Third Hokage. I'm sorry for not being here as well. Can you forgive me?"

"You have nothing to apologize for. It is all my fault and I am dragging you into this problematic situation as well." Mikoto tells her best friend in obvious dismay.

"I won't let you handle this situation all by yourself, so we are sticking together. You got that, dattebane!?" Kushina shouts in an uncontrolled but excited tone. Life in the village is going to get way more interesting in the next couple of days.

A soft knock is heard by the two women, "You ladies done?" Avarice peeks head from the door frame noticing the ease of tension from the room.

"We are done Avi, but we are going to need your help. Fugaku plans on overtaking the hidden leaf village by force, and with the cover of night. The elders have agreed to this plan, but I don't know specifically when it is going to happen." Mikoto explains the circumstances to her lover.

"And what do you need me to do?" Avarice already had known that Fugaku wasn't the best of husbands. But, to uprise against the village seemed a bit far fetched. Even for the Uchiha Clan.

"I need you darling to help me and Kushina get to the Third Hokage. Fugaku knows that I'm a walking liability, and will probably come to drag me back to the clan by force," Mikoto walks over to the man and kisses his cheek. " Therefore, things may get real hectic tonight. And after this is all over, then we can have a fun celebration."

"A celebration, dattebane!" Kushina joins in on the conversation.

"We should be on our way. The moon is rising on the horizon and the Uchiha may strike at us first if we are not fast." Rationalizing the urgency of their dilemma, Avarice adorns his shinobi attire.

"Let us go ladies. We have an uprising to stop."

Kushina and Mikoto not their head in agreement, and follow behind the man.

Moonlight graces the dark path, in which, the entourage venture forth. Howling winds blow the Autumn leaves and cool air accompanies the trio. The decision that could cost an entire clan their lives or save them if it all bodes well with the council.

Kushina's face morphs into that of irritation. Fugaku is coming along with a group of clansman to take Mikoto most likely. They would need hurry, as they are far from the central village. Having a manor on the outskirts of the village isn't so great now.

"What's wrong Kushina?" Mikoto notices the change in pace and questions her friend.

"Fugaku is coming with help. I think he is co for you Mikoto."

"You two go on and I will stall them." Avarice steps forward knowing that Fugaku wasn't going to sit idle with the upcoming events.

"Avi. You shouldn't-"

"That's enough Mikoto. You have a chance to stop large bloodshed and I won't let an envious, power-hungry husband stop you. Besides, I haven't done much in this short life of mine besides murder for the village. So, it's a chance for change on my part. Now go."

"Don't die, dattebane. Or I will kick your ass after bringing you back to life!" Kushina pulls Mikoto in increasing speed in a rush to make it to the Third Hokage.

The fiery red head's voice echoes from the foliage, growing fainter as the two women disappear into the trees. Soon, the Uchiha would arrive and he would have to face the inevitable battle with the Uchiha Clan head.

"At least it isn't Summer. Too hot for battle, especially with users known for their fire jutsu prowess."

Multiple footsteps pamper the ground, as red eyes glow in the darkness.

"Where is my wife, Ōtsutsuki?"

"Between a rock and hard place if you asked me honestly."

"I have no time for humor from a dead man. Tell me Mikoto is and I may spare your insolent life."

"No thank you, Uchiha. You can't even keep your wife happy, much less run an entire clan."

"Hmph. I will have fun silencing you for the rest of your life, and then take my wife back from your deceptive lies." Fugaku clutches his weapon, waiting for an opportunity to kill this vile man once and for all.

"If you're going to kill me, then give me your best shot, Uchiha."

"With pleasure."

Sparks of the two blades intensify, as the two men go head to head. In a class of wills that may decide the future of Konoha.
