Authors note.

So here's the next chapter and stuff… Also I'm changing the dates of when Hinata got kidnapped and when the Uchiha massacre happened so that their a little closer together. Hinata was kidnapped around age five, and Sasuke was traumatized at age seven. Also I really suck at describing people so ya, just going to say that now.

Also I didn't put the disclaimer in my last chapter so here it is. I don't own naruto or anything else that may get mentioned in this fanfic. If I did that would be sweat.

Also because I forgot to do it last chapter as well here's the breakdown of the speaking in this story.

I like chicken- thoughts

I like liver- "buji / monster / summon speech"

Meow mix- "buji / monster / summon thought"

"Meow mix"- regular speech

Chapter 2-Explanations and Request.

The third fire shadow of the leaf, Sarutobi Hiruzen, was now more than ever feeling all his long years of service as he mulled over the move that was just made in his village. Why, after everything that just happened with the Kyubi attacking, did two more tragedies have to strike his village? It was a bad enough blow to morale when the fourth Hokage died to seal the nine tails.

Then the daughter of the main branch of the Hyuga family was almost kidnapped by kumo. Luckily her father managed to kill the kidnapper, but kumo wanted compensation for the death of their head ninja. The leaf couldn't afford to fight kumo on this matter because of the recovery from the nine tails attack. Luckily the Hyuga managed to sort it out, but only be sacrificing the clan heads twin brother. This was the first instance that I failed my village and should have fought harder for the Hyuga.

After that debacle, not even two years pass before another crisis begins to stir in the village. The Uchiha began to plan a coup d'état against the leaf village because of the rest of the village believing that someone with a sharingan was the reason that the Kyubi attacked the leaf village. Not liking how the rest of the leaf was shutting them out they planned a coup. The strangest part was that every time the Hokage would come to some kind of agreement with the clan head, he would seem to lose more of himself and start to make more outrageous demands of the Hokage.

While the old Kage was trying to come up with a peaceful solution to diffuse the situation, his old teammate Danzo went and ordered the execution of all of the Uchiha. This was all done behind the Hokage's back and without his consent. Of course this couldn't be made public knowledge that the leaders of the leaf village had just preemptively killed an entire clan, even if it was to avoid the possibility of the fourth shinobi war. So the story was spun and Itachi Uchiha took the blame for killing his entire clan on the belief that he wanted to prove his strength, and the leaf blacklisted him on the bingo book as an S class criminal. The best part is where he left his brother the only survivor with enough trauma to start an asylum by himself.

The Hokage's thoughts on all this was that he was simple getting too old for this shit anymore and really needed to find a fool to… I mean a capable shinobi to take over the position for him. The only good news was that with vesper out doing a two month long mission he would hopefully hear it from someone else and not have to have it explained… to… him…unless that tapping on the window was him… or Jiraiya… hopefully it was the perverted sannin.

"Hey old monkey, let me in all ready it's raining out here."

Ok it still could be Jiraiya, maybe trying calling me something new for once.

"If you don't let me inside in five seconds I'm going to blow the window down with a dark sphere."

Dammit! Maybe he won't ask about the Uchiha Massacre.

He flipped the latch on the window and let Vesper into the room so he could dry off and get out of the rain

And into the room stepped a man of about the fourth Hokage's height, with pitch black hair that hung in the front a little and was cut jagged on the rest of his head, so it was layered on his head. Everything he wore was black. He wore a black cloak which seemed to have shadows moving on it of their own free will if one were to look at it for too long. His eyes though are what set him apart from others. They were a brilliant color of blue that at one time must have shined with a love for life that none could match. Now though, they were just empty, not quiet dead but they had no drive or purpose to them, eyes that should not have been on the face of one who looked no more than twenty two.

"The mission was a success, as always, old monkey and I'm back in one piece as you can see and I got a question or two for you."

I'm sure that he just has some question on a new mission or some other important thing.

"Before I get to the other questions I have were are all the Uchiha at?"

God Dammit Kami, why do you hate me?! Please don't let him ask about Itachi!

"I didn't notice any of the police force patrolling the city. Also do you specifically know where Itachi is at, I can't sense his chakra anywhere in the village? Did he get sent on a mission somewhere out of the village?"

I… Hate… You… So… Much… Right Now!

"Well Vesper, while you were out of the village there was some… complications, with the Uchiha Clan."

You could feel the temperature of the room drop about thirty degrees at that moment, and the shadows around the room seemed to writhe and move about to do Kami only knows what.

"Start talking Hiruzen, and talk quickly, least you find yourself learning to sigh papers with your non-dominate hand."

Now while Hiruzen was no push-over, he knew very well the amount of power that the man in front of him commanded and just how big that powered dwarfed his own. He would play this one on the side of caution.

"While it is understandable that you would be upset Vesper, I will not have you threaten me in my own office. You are technically under my command and should know when to control your emotions. Now calm down and settle or you will not be told what happened!"

For a minute it seemed as all hell would break lose in the small office, as the shadows pace became frenzied and they seemed to reach for the Hokage, while the temperature continued to plummet faster and faster. And just like that everything stopped and settled down again, and as quickly as it came the fight went out of vesper. To be replaced by a cold and calculated face that looked ready to tear the story apart and find what he wanted to know.

"Very well. I am sorry for my outburst my friend. Please tell me what happened while I was gone and what has become of Itachi?"

And so the Hokage spoke to Vesper and told him of all that had happened to lead to the fall of the Uchiha. He left nothing out and hid nothing from this man. He revealed all the secrets and facts that were known and who ultimately gave the order for the ax to fall. While it might have seemed strange that a Hokage was telling this to one of his underlings, Vesper was much more than that to the old Kage. He was also his friend and most trusted of his advisers. Then again that comes with saving the life of a man more time then he can count.

"… and that is everything that happened while you were gone and what became of Itachi."

…

The punch was expected on the Hokage's part but the pure speed that it was delivered with ensured that he saw nothing until he was falling off of his chair and landing on the ground. He was just glad that his underling remembered to hold back his strength; otherwise the village would need that new Hokage even sooner.

"Why didn't you call me back and give the order to me, why on Kami's green earth did you decide to shoulder all the blame on Itachi! Why make him live that kind of life Hiruzen! You run this village dammit, man up and tell them that!"

As the old Kage picked himself up and sat back at the table he seemed to deflate on himself.

"I know this Vesper; I also know that at the time it really couldn't have been played out any other way. You think the Hokage can just justify the massacre of an entire clan, even if they are planning a coup. I may not have agreed with Danzo on how it was done, but it had to be done."

"ARG… FUCK!"

CRASH!

Huh… that time he didn't hold back his power as much.

And it was true, for the sturdy desk that once between the two of them was now safely buried about ten feet in the ground on the bottom of the building, even though they were on the top floor.

Tenzo really does make great furniture when he puts his mind to it

The Hokage held his tongue on the matter of his desk choosing to instead watched Vesper and see if he showed any further signs of losing control of himself. But as the Hokage watch, vesper reeled in his anger towards the situation and just let it go, knowing that the Hokage spoke the truth. Didn't mean that he had to like it though.

"I know that you speak the truth Hiruzen, it's just never easy to let someone you can truly called a friend do that to them self."

"It's never easy to let these kinds of things happen, nor does it get any easier as time goes by. This is they life we live though, as ninja we are duty bond to do these kinds of things for whatever reason we deem worthy, we do these things."

"No wonder they made you Hokage. You sure do give one hell of a speech to make people feel better."

"Yes well it seemed a good skill alongside my exceptional battle skills and leadership capabilities." Hiruzen said with a chuckle

"Ya ya. I think you forgot modesty as well there."

"Maybe I did. Anyway will you be okay or do you need some time off to get your mind off of this."

"Actually that was what I was going to talk to you about before we got to talking about this mess. I want to put a team together old monkey."

"What? But you've never wanted a team before. We gave you plenty of times were you could have lead a team and you said what you could teach shouldn't be taught. We had you court marshaled once to forcibly make you take a team and you told the council and I quote { And who exactly is going to make me}. And it was never brought up again. Why the sudden change of heart?"

"I just need to leave a mark on this world old monkey. For too long I've just sat on the sidelines and done these non-accentual assassinations that don't bring me any joy or anything. I finally want to pass on what I know to those who can actually use it and see where it takes us."

"Well we have a fresh batch of gennin just about to finish up with their…"

"No"

"What do you mean no you just said that you wanted to teach…"

"They're going to need to be younger then gennin Hiruzen."

The Hokage noticed the lack of the nickname for himself and knew that Vesper was serious about what he was going to say next. He knows that vesper teaching his skills to anyone was a very, very complicated process, and a dam near dangerous one to boot. But to have even one more person with his level of skills and power would benefit the village immensely.

"Why do I have the feeling that this is going to cause me a nightmare in paper work when this is all said and done?"

"I could always not teach anyone…"

"No, no. Let me hear what you have to say."

"I will look around the village on my own and see if there are any potential people in it with the will, determination, and requirements to actually be able to use what I can teach. Otherwise this is a waste of time. If we're lucky there will be three maybe four people tops that can be taught by me. When I say I need someone Hiruzen, it means that as long as the person I talk to say yes, that I WILL train them, council and others be dammed."

The Hokage got up from his chair to look out at his village that was behind him, contemplating his answer to one of… no, his top shinobi.

"You have done so much for this village Vesper, and so much for me personally that I really do want to say yes to this and just let it be that simple. It won't be that simple, you do realize this yes?"

"I do."

"You know that the council will likely try to pick for you or influence your choice?"

"They can try."

"You know that at some point it will be out of my hands to control this and any possible damage that might occur from this, right?"

"I know what will come from this, and as long as the people I find say yes then I will train them and let whatever will happen, happen."

Sigh.

"Find them. Get them to say yes. Train them. This is my order to you as ho… No. This is a request from a friend that wants to see you happy again."

"Thanks... Old money…"

And with that Vesper melts into the shadows and disappears from the room, off to find his team.

"Good luck… my friend."

And bam just like that the ball is set rolling. Sorry for the wait people little bit of procrastination along with just getting my Xbox unbanned from some stupid code of conduct thing, right when the new zombies was due to come out. I know the story seems kind of oc centric right now, but this is probably the longest he's going to be on here and I had to introduce him some way. Ill probably do more of his backstory as flash backs or as it becomes relevant. Probably a lot as he trains his team. They're going to need to know their sensei anyway and trust him, what with how dangerous the actual training is. Also if you want to know more about my character. Leave it in the review and ill work it into the story to explain it better. Also a cookie in the form of a shout out if anyone can guess who's going to be on this team. Yes it will be three people. Anyway peace and see you guys in about a week. Unless this starts to flow easier now then I might get more out.
