When Kira opened her eyes she at first didn't know where she was, but eventually the smell of disinfectants, and other medical equipment met her nose. That didn't make sense though, why was she in the hospital. Oh, that was right, she got stabbed just above her heart by Kimimaro. That would explain why she was in the hospital at the moment. With a small groan, she sat up, and noticed that Neji was sitting beside her bed with an almost peaceful look. She gained a soft look towards that, but she didn't say much else until he actually woke up. When he did, Neji gave a soft frown towards her.

"Is something wrong Neji?" Kira asked with a strained voice. It wasn't to hard to guess it was due to her lung getting stabbed.

Neji took some time to answer, but when he did, he said "Your mother has permission to go after Danzō and his Root. She had me stay here for protection for you. I am injured as well, but I can fight, you cannot with your damaged lung."

Kira looked down while clenching her fists. She knew that her mother was going to get them eventually, but the fact that she couldn't help? That stung her pride a bit. The only reason she was alive at the moment, was due to her Uzumaki blood, the medical seals, and Isobu. Those three things were the reason for her being alive right now. If even one of them wasn't in place, she was almost certain she would have died, especially since the blade went through a lung. Naruto could have bounced back from it, but he had the Kyūbi healing him because he didn't want his container to die.

With a single tear escaping her, Kira asked "D-did she go with help?"

"Yes." Neji stated "She has that Kiri-Kunoichi named Akua, that Kumo-Kunoichi named Z, the Raikage's brother B, and Kuina Uzumaki along with her. Almost five S rank Shinobi all going after one faction. I do not believe that he will manage to get away with what he has done."

Kira seemed to crumple down a bit more, as tears started to freely fall from her eyes. When Neji finally noticed this, and he was about to comfort her, she said "T-that bastard doesn't deserve a quick death... N-not after what he did to me..."

Neji's eyes narrowed at this, but he did, start to comfort her, while explained what had happened to her. Neji, on the other hand, was listening to her with no interruptions. That was honestly something that Kira needed. As for when Danzo was going to die, she was going to be crying in joy because when Danzo used that Sharingan that had an Kotoamatsukami with it, he didn't affect her. Isobu made it so that Danzo couldn't. Instead, it was Isobu who was affected, and now he had lost all memories off her. The bastard needed to die.

With the group that was going to stop root, Shiba gave a small so, at the bickering between Kuina and Akua. While it wasn't a big fight, it was a stupid one. Akua thought that sushi was a crime against nature, while Kuina loved the stuff. It didn't help that Z completely ignored them in favor of talking to be, to whom she was standing a bit close to, in a way that was almost like they were in a relationship. It wouldn't have really surprised Shiba, if not for the fact that the normally emotionless woman, was laughing and smiling at B. It also wouldn't have surprised her if the fact that she was the only one paying any attention to the situation was any indicator, as she knocked out another Root trainee.

With a twitching eyebrow, Shiba yelled "Can you all be quiet?! We're trying to get through here and kill someone, remember?!"

B was the first to speak as he said "You need to chill, I'll kill em."

Akua scoffed at that as she said "You Kill him? Yeah right. I'd think the pansy right here has a better chance than you do."

Kuina grew a tick mark at that, before she yelled "SO WHAT IF I'M A CHUNIN STILL. I'M STILL S-RANKED DAMN IT!"

"Rank means nothing, if you do not have the power to back it up." Z stated in a monotone voice once again, causing several people, enemies included, to sweat drop.

Shiba just gave a sigh and a shake of her head, as she continued forward, but she stopped almost right away when she saw a bandaged man in front of her. With a deep growl, Shiba drew both of her blades, and pointed one at the man "You are a bastard. You have done nothing but harm Konoha!"

Danzo, raised his one visible eye towards her, as he said "Harm Konoha? Nonsense! Everything I have done was for the good of the village. We should not need allies! That just proves that we are weaker then other nations, instead of being on top like Konoha should be!"

"False. Having allies proves strength, as it is the hardest thing to do to admit you need help. Having allies gives both sides a mutually beneficial agreement that will help strengthen both ends of the treaty." Z stated with a monotone voice.

Danzo glared at the purple haired woman, as he started to take his second arm out that had two golden bracers and bandages on the arm. As he started to unwrap the bandages on his arm, Shiba saw some red, and she right away yelled "DON'T LOOK AT HIM."

Everyone shut their eyes almost right away, and if it wasn't for the fact that all five of them had enhanced senses, with B having Gyuki to keep monitor for anything he misses. With a quick slash towards the old warhawk, Shiba realized that she had hit something, but with how hard it was, it could only be a stone, with a frown, she spun on her heel, and sent a kick backwards, ending up hitting the warhawk straight in the gut, causing him to be sent backwards. Not even a second later, Z charged forward with white lightning charging up her blade, but she missed the actual hit, only shocking Danzo slightly with the excess energy.

"White lightning... Kumo does not deserve such a powerful bloodline." Danzo stated, before he Went through a couple of hand seals, and used a Fūton Jutsu to send Z into a wall.

Unfortunately for the warhawk, B caught the purple haired woman, but he had to drop her soon after as white lightning went through her body with tons of excess lightning being sent every which way with her body. B knew what this was, and he was wondering why she was doing such a thing at this point, considering the side effect. He then realized that if Z was being this serious, then she had felt something from this guy, that shouldn't have been there.

Akua, who had opened her eyes at this point, though she was looking at the old mans feet, had a wicked and bloodthirsty grin on her face, that was accompanied by a maniacal laugh, while she charged forward, the regular blue lightning coming from her blades. She eventually did hit him, with wild swings, but when it seemed like she had killed the bastard, a whisper of what sounded like 'Izanagi' was heard, and the dead body faded away, before Danzo appeared once again, jumping backwards, into B's sword, with the same thing happening.

Shiba, who by this point, had opened her eyes as well, looked at the action in slightly shock, before she created several shadow clones, and jumping back herself out of the way of the fight while she pulled out a barrier seal. Four of the clones went to the area to hold up the seal, while she herself started to draw on a note, with a complex seal that would do what she wanted to stop Danzo. While this was going on, Z charged once again, shocking Danzo with a lot of the excess lightning that was coming from her body. The lightning wasn't enough to kill him, but it did make him falter for a few seconds, while Akua jumped near the barrier.

"Boss wants you and the others to keep the warhawk busy. She's making a seal at the moment that can help get rid of that eye he has in his head. Lop of an arm as well though. something tells me that that, the grey arm is artificial." A clone stated as she jumped backwards to get out of the rang of an attack from Danzo.

Akua gave a wicked smirk towards the clone, before she jumped forward, with speed hat could only come with years of training, and she managed to hit the stump of Danzo's are, causing the arm with Sharingan in it, to fall off. Unfortunately for Akua, Z had, tried to kill Danzo in the process, which caused both the arm and Danzo himself to disappear, only to reappear a few feet away, jumping backwards, once again Using Izanagi. With a loud growl, Akua, charged back at Danzo, hell sent on lopping that arm off, but before she could, however, a loud elephant like sound was heard, and when she turned to see what it was, she was knocked into by a large elephant Chimera, who then, started to charge at the barrier that Shiba had up. The clones, knowing that the barrier wouldn't hold, were about to get up and move, but before she could a voice said "Shiroraiton: Rēzā Hikari!(1)"

In an instant, a blast of white light was sent at the beast that was about to run into the barrier, and in its place was Z, who by this point, has had white lightning literally encompassing her body. The most notable thing about her however, is the fact that there are ours white streaks in her purple hair, in a way that is almost like highlights. The white seems to be crawling up her hair as she has her lightning used, but before anyone could get an accurate read on whether or not it was, she disappeared, followed by a crack of thunder, with the summon, being sent into the wall opposite the direction that it was sent.

Shiba, seeing what was going on with the whole fight, quickly started to finish the seal, as fast as she could without having the seal malfunction. With the last two touches on the seal, Shiba, sealed away her materials, and the clones holding up the barrier for the creation of the seal, disappeared, with Shiba flying out straight towards Danzo, her hair flying upwards with energy caused by her yelling a command of "Gate of opening: open!"

The pure energy that was sent through her activation, was enough to cause a small shockwave, especially due to her massive chakra reserves to begin with, as she slammed the seal she had created into Danzo's chest. The reaction was almost instantaneous, as Danzo's whole body froze up, and he fell backwards. With a strained voice, the warhawk, growled out "W-what did you do to me?"

Shiba gave a cold look towards the man as she said "Uzumaki Fūin: Furubodi Mahi.(2) Well, that along with an overpowered chakra sealer, and Dojutsu counter. Add that with a seal that will force the truth out of you, and we have the perfect seal for anyone in an interrogation room."

Akua grew an almost giddy look as she asked "Can I torture him?! Please oh please?!"

Z grew an amused look as she knocked the warhawk out, but she said "Sorry Akua. This is for Konoha to do, not us. What they do with him is their problem, not ours."

Akua pouted at that, but she did say "Fiiine... I won't kill him. Can I cut a few fingers off though?"

"No." Was the chorus between the females in the room, leaving B to stare at what was going on.

When Shiba finally managed to get out of there, she visited Tsunade, who was now the Hokage, and asked for a meeting to be discussed about what the civilian council was going to end up, and if they were doing a sweep of it, at least one person that she thought would be in a good seat for being one council. As it turned out, Tsunade was agreeing with that, as she also told Shiba that, Mina, and Ko were going to be leaving along with Naruto, and Jiraiya, for a training trip, while everything was slowing down when it came to Akatsuki. Thankfully none of them knew about the sealing that the Uzumaki did when it came to the sanbi's chakra, but it was also fairly obvious that they didn't know where the other half of the Sanbi was either.

With a small sigh, Shiba leaned back in her chair as the rest of the council filed into the room, along with the civilian's of the council. When Shiba saw them, she frowned, but didn't say anything, as the representative's for the civilian part were wearing extremely 'posh' clothing, such as business suits, or since it was later in the day, expensive sleepwear. The Shinobi side was the complete opposite. Most of them were in fairly simple sleepwear, with the most expensive being Hiashi's considering he wore a plain white sleeping robe. Inoichi was even wearing the T&I uniform, with a black trench coat.

"What is the meaning of this meeting Tsunade?" One of the civilians asked with an annoyed expression on his face.

Tsunade sent a glare towards the council member, before said "I've called you all here because at 6:40PM, Danzo Shimura was arrested for attempted kidnapping, treason, and attempted murder."

None of the clan head's said anything, but the civilian council on the other hand, was in an outrage. They were silenced fairly quickly however, due to the combined killing intent of all of the tired clan heads in the room, Shiba included. When they were silent, Shiba said "I was the one to arrest him, as after my daughter was kidnapped by blank masked Anbu, I went to find out who it was that kidnapped her, after we found her, and returned her home. The one to do this was Danzo himself, as well as the fact that he did not stop his root program."

She stopped to let the clan heads to sink in the information, with a lot of them becoming fully awake at the proclamation. Seeing that she had all of their attention, she continued "Along with this, we found close to thirty children in his lair, some of them even being clan children, such as an Inuzuka, Aburame, and Yamanaka."

The three clan heads, hearing their respective clan's name, started to release killing intent at the fact that they now knew where the missing children had went. Continuing once more, Shiba said "Added to this, is the fact that most, if not all, of the civilians on this council have been given 'under the table' reasons for staying silent about root still being around."

Shikaku, who by this point had started to use his Kage kubishibari(3) To keep the civilians quiet, had narrowed his eyes at them, as he asked "So the civilians here were paid to stay silent about something that could have been a danger to Konoha?"

Tsume growled loudly, her claws coming out, as she growled out "Give us one reason why we shouldn't tear you to shreds!"

Shiba gave a small wicked smile at the reactions from the civilian council, but she didn't say anything. Shibi, one of the only ones not to speak yet, shifted slightly as he said "While I disapprove of the civilian councils decisions, I do not believe we should kill them, as it could very well cause unrest within the ranks of the civilian populace."

Inoichi gave a nod at that, as he said "We should do a clean sweep of this part of the council, however, and have it do that at most three civilians would be on this council."

Tsunade gave a nod in agreement, before she had the Anbu take the civilians that were in the room away. With that out of the way, Mina said "I have two suggestions for the three, and I know that they are unbiased when it comes to internal affairs, such as say, Naruto."

Shiba gave a nod at that "I think I know who you mean, and I have a third, if you're willing, Tsunade."

Tsunade had long since given up on trying to stop the Uzumaki from calling her by her first name, so she said "Alright let's hear them."

"Teuchi Ichiraku, you may know him from his ramen stand, and Ikaido Higurashi." Were the two Mina stated with a soft look.

"I was gonna suggest Mebuki Haruno for the last position, if you actually choose her is another story." Shiba stated, as she leaned backwards once again with a tired sigh.

Tsunade gave another nod as she adjourned the meeting, to which Shiba ran out of the room fairly quickly, much to the surprise of the other clan heads, as she ran towards the hospital. She eventually made it to the hospital, and she heard a male voice, that sounded like Neji, say "I told you before Kira-san, your mother Is alright."

Kira must not have believed him, as Shiba heard her daughter say "How do you know? She could be out bleeding to death for all I know!"

Shiba have a chuckle at that, as she walked into the room with a hurt expression "Do you not believe in your own mother enough that you would think that? I'm hurt."

Kira stared at her mother with a slightly shocked expression, but before she could even try to get up, Shiba sat down beside her daughters bed, and gave a smile. She then began to explain the 'cleaning house' part of the council meeting today, and how it seemed that in a couple of months they would start the coup in the Hyuga compound. Shiba eventually used a seal, and asked Neji if his Byakugan could see through it. When she got a no as a response, she said "This will help us. When the time is right, I'm going to use this, while all the branch members are in the same area. I want you to help all of the branch members train as much as possible. Once the seal is released, you will have to wait an hour before the coup, due to the feeling."

Kira gave a nod "It was a releasing feel, when I tested it, but it was dizzying as well."

Neji looked at the two redheads with gratitude, as he said "Thank you, both of you. With this, a caged bird my finally fly."

Both of the Uzumaki gave nods as things finally seemed to be going in full motion, what with Mina, Ko, Naruto, and Jiraiya going on a training trip, Root disbanded, and everyone else getting trained, it seemed that things were finally going to be pretty calm for once.
