Chapter 2 –

Fugaku raised his head showing his Sharingan and smiling evilly, "We have a few things to discuss."

Hiashi was surprised as this was tantamount to declaring a clan war. But he did was not able to turn his Byakugan on in time. "How may I serve you Lord Uchiha?"

"I am glad to see that you are always accommodating to the other clans Hiashi." Fugaku said with a smile, "First I would like you to sign these papers. They are nothing really. It is just the betrothal of your heir to my youngest, and the subjugation of your clan to the superiority of the Uchiha clan. You understand what I am telling you?"

Hiashi just nodded as tears ran down his face. He signed the paper as he was ordered.

"You will not remember the betrothal until she is older. Also I would like you to push your daughter to become stronger. She is weak now and needs encouragement. Our children will not have weak offspring. Do you hear me?"

"Yes Lord Uchiha we will comply with your wishes. Is there anything else you needed?" Hiashi asked in a monotone voice.

"No now, I guess our business has been concluded." Fugaku smiled as he deactivated his Sharingan. "Hiashi I want you to turn over the demon brat. We should have him killed but we will at least give him a fighting chance."

Hiashi was very angry now, "Why did you show your Sharingan? You realize that this could constitute an attack on me personally and upon my clan?"

Fugaku bowed his head hiding his smile. "A thousand pardons Lord Hyuuga. I was not aware I had activated it. You have my sincere apologies. As for the child we would like him and now would be a good time."

"You will not have him, not today!" Hiashi felt the tears on his cheeks and was nearly ready to attack Fugaku. "Leave my house! And never return! I will not suffer your presence any longer. You have attacked me and I will report this to the Hokage. I know the military police will do nothing. Also attempted assassination of a citizen is crime and you are plotting for the murder of Naruto Uzumaki. Hell, nearly the whole council is! Get out! Get out now! Or they will be finding a new head for your clan!"

Fugaku stood and beat a hasty retreat from the Hyuuga complex. He smiled all the way to the Hokage's office, as he had just made a political coup. Control of the Uchiha and the Hyuuga will be in the Uchiha hands from now on.

He entered the Hokage's office with a smile. "I am here to see the Hokage about some documents to be filed. I also have some police reports for him."

The secretary nodded and showed him immediately in. The Hokage smiled, "Welcome Fugaku. How may I help the leader of the Uchiha today?"
Fugaku bowed, "I have the standard and elevated police reports you asked for." He placed the reports on the desk. He then pulled out a couple sheets of paper. "I also have some great news."

"And what may that be, if I may ask?" The Hokage questioned.

"Hiashi and I have ironed out a deal between our clans." Fugaku replied as the Hokage smiled. "Our children are to be wed. Little Sasuke and Hinata are now betrothed. Now our two clans will be inseparable."

"That is most excellent." The Hokage hid his doubts as he knew that earlier Hiashi has given him the documents that Hinata and Naruto were to be betrothed. This turn of events was not to his liking as he knew that Hanna Hyuuga was pushing for the betrothal to Naruto. "So when is the announcement?"

"The announcement will be when they make chunin or when they are sixteen, whichever comes first." Fugaku aped proudly.

"So little Sasuke will learn about political marriages, I am glad Hiashi and you could get this ironed out. So did Hanna agree to this also? I know she is not very happy about political marriages." Sarutobi asks questioningly.

"Yes, she whole heartily approves of it." Fugaku did not know about her not liking arranged marriages. 'Well I will have to get rid of her so that she cannot block this union and the Uchiha taking the rightful place at the head of the village.'

"You know that they are expecting again? A second child won't that be so nice?" Sarutobi said to try and head off any play to eliminate Hanna anytime soon. "She will be overjoyed when the child arrives. She is only in her third month of pregnancy."

"I can understand how she feels, as I remember when Mikoto was pregnant with Sasuke. She would go on and on about what she was going to do." Fugaku smiled remembering Mikoto's emotional state during her pregnancy.

"The children will be entering the academy soon. I have included Naruto Uzumaki to the roster. Please make sure that he is protected. If not I will have the officer in charge of his care have a meeting with Ibiki. Do I make myself clear?" Sarutobi made his voice very low and threatening.

"Perfectly, Hokage-sama!" Fugaku saluted. "I will have my best men on it. I am sorry but I cannot stop the beatings but at least we can stop them in the academy. Will there be anything else?"

"No you may leave Fugaku." Sarutobi said kindly as Fugaku left.

Snapping his fingers a raven masked ANBU appeared. "You summoned Hokage-sama?"

"Yes , I would like to speak with Hiashi Hyuuga. Could you please fetch him for me?" Sarutobi requested.

"Hai!" The ANBU responded as he disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

'What are you up too Fugaku? Has the loyalty of the Uchiha gone so far down that they would plot against the other clans and the village?' Sarutobi contemplated.

About ten minutes later Hiashi appeared. "Hokage-sama, you summoned me?"

"Yes old friend. How are the preparations for the betrothal? And how is the expectant mother doing?" Sarutobi asked joyfully.

"Hanna is doing fine thank you. She is still only a few months along. The betrothal, hm…." Hiashi seemed to get a headache on this subject. "I cannot say how it is going yet as it is a long ways off. But Hinata will have to work hard to prove herself. Also we have a visitor and the council is demanding that he be turned loose in the bar district unconscious or not." Hiashi angrily told Sarutobi.

'Just as I was afraid, Fugaku has done something to Hiashi.' Sarutobi angrily thought.

"Also I would like to file a formal complaint against Fugaku. He had his Sharingan active while in my families' compound and may have used it upon me. Though I am not sure if he did or not." Hiashi's attitude changed. "Hinata will be in the academy and will be expected to perform to my expectations."

"I understand, go see Inoichi, he will be able to find out if there was something done. Oh, and say hi to Naruto for me. I have an apartment ready for him, here are the keys. Remind him to lock up after he is not there and when he goes to bed."

Hiashi nods as he leaves.

'I am sorry Naruto and Hinata, I am not sure that the council will see and acknowledge the first betrothal. I must check in with my informants in the Uchiha clan. And then if I have to I will implement operation 'Red Eye'. I am just hoping that the village will not be too hard on them. Hiashi is under a lot of strain right now and adding to it would not be a good thing.' Sarutobi paused in thought. Yelling "Get me Inoichi! I need him now!"

About fifteen minutes later Inoichi appeared at Sarutobi's door. "You rang for a florist Hokage-sama?"

Sarutobi chuckled. "Well the Hyuuga will need one in a few years. They have a betrothal, and that is why I have you here." Sarutobi got a stern look on his face."Funny thing just happened."

Inoichi raised a blond eyebrow, "And that would be?"

"Earlier today Hiashi brought me betrothal papers for Hinata Hyuuga and Naruto Uzumaki." Inoichi appeared intrigued. "A about an hour ago Fugaku appeared with betrothal paper and papers for Sasuke to take over the ruler ship of the Hyuuga as he was betrothed to Hinata Hyuuga. I smell something is amiss. Your opinion? Oh and before you say anything, Hiashi told me that Fugaku visited him just before he came here with an active Sharingan."

"Well, if all the pieces you have here are correct then we have a problem. I know for a fact that Hanna wants to have Hinata and Naruto together. Though I am not certain why she wants to have Naruto, a demon vessel, in the family. He is nice and all but I am not sure why. But changing so soon after delivering the paper would seem that something foul was done. Did the second have Hanna signature on it?" Inoichi questioned.

Sarutobi shook his head. "No, only the first document had her signature on it. The second had Hiashi's and Fugaku's only. I want you to scan Hiashi but not tell him the results until after you discuss it with me. If what I thing happened did indeed happen then there will be several tragedies in the next little while. Thank you again for your council, I am sure it will be kept in confidence."

Inoichi bowed. "As always Sarutobi-sama, I am at your service. I am afraid that most of the village young female population will be sad to hear that Sasuke is off the market." He said with a wink. "But I am not sure how Fugaku will like having Naruto for a son-in-law." Both laughed at this comment. "Seriously, I will support the first document dealing with Naruto's right to refusal in the betrothal.. But as he is treated now he would be better served if he took it and showed those stuffed up Uchiha a lesson. Forgive my bluntness but they are just too arrogant for their own good. I am sure that they have stolen more than they have created for and too this village."

"They share little of the jutsu they take from other villages. I am not even sure they understand the jutsu they take. Oh and I have no problem with you speaking your mind. It is most refreshing after dealing with Fugaku. Now go, I am sure that Hiashi will be waiting for you."

"Always a pleasure Hokage-sama. I have a clan head to meet, must get ready for him." Inoichi said as he left the office.

Sarutobi contemplated again on the things the village had to deal with. 'Until he returns with some information either way I will have to set some things into motion.' Looking at a picture on the wall, 'I am sorry your son is having a hard time and they will not listen to reason. He is a hero, in more ways than one. I just wish that she was here since you could not. I wish her village was here also so that I could send him there to keep him safe.'

"Send me Kikiyo Uchiha!" Sarutobi yelled through the door.

Ten minutes later a raven haired young woman entered his office. "Kikiyo Uchiha reporting as ordered, Hokage-sama."

Sarutobi looked up with a sad face. "I am setting stage one of operation Red Eye in motion. You know what to do."

"Are you sure?" Kikiyo asked with a surprised look on her face.

Sarutobi just nodded.

"As you wish Hokage-sama. It will take a year or so to accomplish this. But we will be ready." Kikiyo said and bowed as she left.

'Luckily stage one will only get things ready. Stage two, I can live with, it is stage three that I have a problem with. Now I think I understand why you did not trust the Uchiha, my former Hokage?'

A/N: What is operation 'Red Eye'… I won't tell…. Muhahahahaha….
