A/N: Is this a meeting or a trial? Time for the Uchihas to tell everyone why they're there. No warnings this time again. Enjoy!
-----
The 5th began by saying, "Uchiha Sasuke, and from what I've learned, Uchiha Raylin." The audience whispered at the mention of another Uchiha, seeing as none were believed to have survived other than Sasuke and Itachi. "I welcome you both. I understand you requested a meeting to explain why you are here. I have many questions to ask, are you willing to answer these questions with complete truthfulness? Because if you are not, I will have you captured and jailed for the rest of your days. Am I understood?"
Sasuke said, "I mean no disrespect Hokage, but even if you tried, you could not capture us. We have grown to a level that surpasses anything Konoha has to offer, most likely including yourself. I am not trying to insult anyone, but with Orochimaru's power, and Raylin's abilities, I have grown exponentially, and she is unstoppable. We are here willingly. We want to cooperate." Raylin nodded to Hokage.
The 5th shouted, "What do you mean by this Sasuke? Is what Kakashi tells me true? Does she possess the five nature elements?"
"I do," said Raylin meekly.
"Kakashi. The papers." Kakashi rose and handed a large sheet of paper to Raylin.
She said, "What's this?" She enabled her sharingan to try and read it but there was nothing on the paper.
Kakashi said, "This paper will show us what kind of nature element you possess. It will confirm or deny your statement. Please pass a small amount of chakra into the paper. It will tell us what you are."
"Ok. Here goes." Raylin concentrated all the elements together, rolled them into a ball, and passed that small ball down the length of her arm and into the paper. Instantly it tore in two, indicating wind. Then it crinkled, showing lightning, it burst into flame, showing fire, the ashes turned to sand indicating earth. Kakashi bent and touched the sand, "It's wet," he said to the Hokage. Gasps all around.
The 5th stared at her in disbelief. "You tell the truth Raylin. That's a good start. We will need to test you to see what you know, what jutsu you've learned, and we'll need to know any forbidden jutsu both of you have picked up before we can trust you. But first we have some questions. First of all, Sasuke, you left here to give yourself to Orochimaru to obtain his power. You wanted that power to destroy your brother. Did this happen?"
"Yes." More gasps.
"You defeated Itachi?"
"And Kissime," Sasuke said, "Raylin took him out." Kakashi looked in disbelief at the girl, noticing her reaching into her pocket. As she withdrew her hand, he grabbed her wrist making her drop the ring she had retrieved into his hand.
Kakashi examined the ring, "I believe this is Kissime's ring."
Sasuke said, "I have Itachi's – it's right here. There's your proof that we dispatched them both." He handed the ring to Kakashi who brought both of them to the 5th who examined them and handed them to Jaraiya. He verified that they were indeed the rings of the two Akatsuke members. The crowd mumbled and whispered.
The 5th continued, "In order to do this Sasuke, you must have had help. I do understand that you have gained power since you've been gone, that you were privileged to Orochimaru's jutsu, and were a student of his. Does he sit in front of us now? Did you give him your body?"
"He does sit in front of you now, but my body is my own. Yet he inhabits it."
"How can this be? Where is he then?"
Sasuke said, "If I may," he stood and looked at Naruto who stared at him distrustfully. "Naruto, we are more like brothers now than ever." He lifted his shirt and showed the crowd and especially Naruto the seal on his abdomen. "Here is where Orochimaru resides. I too have a monster sealed inside me." Naruto stared in disbelief and his heart broke. Jaraiya rose and examined the seal on Sasuke's abdomen.
He said, "Tsunade, pardon me, Hokage, this is the 4th's technique. Our Sanin 3rd is indeed inside this young man."
The 5th stared at them. Everyone knew the consequences of the 4th's technique. It meant that whoever sealed the soul inside another died. She asked him, "How did you pull this off? Who died to seal Orochimaru inside you?"
Raylin put her hand on Sasuke's arm and said, "Let me." She rose, "Pardon me Hokage, but I did it. I assume that Kakashi briefed you about my abilities. I have been able to learn any jutsu put before me. Sasuke taught me his fireball jutsu and I mastered it the first time I used it. I have manipulated it and now can create lava and use it as a weapon or a shield." Whispers of "complete jutsu," spread around. She continued, "After Sasuke and I were permitted to be around each other by Orochimaru, we decided to team up against him and gain our freedom. Since we are the last surviving Uchiha, we decided to combine our talents and take out Orochimaru as well as Itachi and Kissime."
"This still does not explain who died. Who performed the seals?"
"Kabuto." Gasps again.
"How? You couldn't have convinced him to sacrifice himself to betray his master!"
"I didn't have to. Instead, Sasuke told me about Ino and her mind transfer jutsu. I researched it, learned it, and practiced it on him countless times until I could hit him with it while he was moving. When the time came for Sasuke to give Orochimaru his body, he stood in front of Orochimaru; I stood behind and to the side ready to assist. Kabuto stood behind Sasuke. I had hidden from Orochimaru the fact that I had possessed the earth element. I used it to trap him in rock, locking his arms and head in place, leaving his abdomen unprotected. I then threw my mind at Kabuto, performed the 4th's technique while in Kabuto, summoning the death god. Sasuke slashed his abdomen, and the death god reached through Kabuto's body, through Sasuke's, grabbed Orochimaru's soul and pulled it into Sasuke. When the task was completed, Sasuke let me know, and I sealed Orochimaru in him, and jumped from Kabuto back to myself. Then the death god took Kabuto."
Everyone was whispering. Kakashi just stared at Raylin. Sasuke sat there quietly until he said, "It's all true. Every word of it."
The 5th finally asked, "What about the bodies."
"Gone all of them," Raylin answered her. "If I may," she reached into her pocket and took out Orochimaru's earrings and Kabuto's glasses, handing them to Kakashi who brought them to the 5th. "I'd like one of the earrings back please. I need a piece of him to remind me,"
The 5th interrupted her, "You did no experimentation on Orochimaru or Kabuto? Itachi or Kissime?"
"No Hokage. There were probably things in them that I would rather not know. So I let the crows take them all – except for the rings, which you have now, the earrings and the glasses."
"Why are you here?"
Sasuke straightened up and looked at her. He said, "I wanted to come home. Kakashi told me before I left that if I achieved my goal I'd feel empty; there would be nothing left for me. But I believe," he looked over at Naruto, then back at Raylin, then back to Hokage, "I have a future now. I have avenged my clan, and found Raylin. Another Uchiha, who would have guessed? Apparently Orochimaru did, because he's the one who found her first. She is my future, my new goal. I, I mean we, both want to start over in Konoha and offer our services to you. I have many apologies to make to many people. Please allow me to do that. But if you don't feel that it's possible, please don't judge her because of me. She's done nothing wrong."
The 5th said, "She killed Orochimaru."
Kakashi mumbled, "We should give her a medal." Raylin suppressed a giggle.
Hokage said, "We will confer for a while. Kakashi, gather the jonin and chunin and test these two. I want to know what they can do. Sasuke, Raylin, you two are not to harm anyone; if you do you will answer to me, understood?" Both nodded.
Kakashi said, "Come with me guys. We're going to put you through some tests." Sasuke and Raylin looked at each other and followed him, a legion of other ninja, and many spectators to the testing arena.
