I do not own Naruto Shippuden or any of the characters.


Busted

Ryuu didn't trust the way things were going. Danzo had been chosen by Mifune to lead the Allied Shinobi Forces. Mifune had reasoned that A was too emotional, Gaara was too young, the Tsuchikage was too old and untrustworthy because of his repeated use of the Akatsuki, and the Mizukage was too untrustworthy because the Akatsuki was rumored to have started in her village. A had all but refused to let Danzo lead because Danzo himself was untrustworthy, something Ryuu completely agreed with. Ryuu looked around, eyes stopping on the Mizukage's bodyguard with the eyepatch, Ao. Ao made the Ram Seal and veins suddenly stuck out around his eyepatch, proving that he had a Dojutsu as Ryuu had expected.

Byakugan, Ryuu thought. Good. He'll figure out Danzo's secret and I can get this started.

A moment later, the bodyguard was standing behind the Mizukage.

"Lord Hokage," he spoke up. "Please show us the eye you keep covered under that bandage."

Everyone looked at him like he was crazy.

"What's the meaning of this?" the Tsuchikage demanded.

"I believe you stole Shisui Uchiha's eye, and transplanted it in place of your own," Ao stated.

"Finally," Ryuu complained, suddenly standing behind Danzo, tanto held to the false Hokage's throat, making Fu freeze before he could get to Ryuu. "You're correct, Byakugan thief."

He pulled the bandages off of Danzo's head, revealing the Sharingan beneath.

"Isn't Shisui the man who was praised alongside Itachi as the Uchiha most gifted in the use of visual jutsu?" the Mizukage asked.

"Yes," Ryuu nodded. "My brother was the best. Even exceeding Itachi's skill."

"Your brother?" Ao blinked. "I see. So you should know his particular jutsu. It let him enter the minds of others, make them go through phantom experiences of his own choosing, and manipulate them. It was such a top notch visual jutsu, that no one even caught on to having been manipulated."

"Hokage, don't tell me Mifune is..." A trailed off and Mifune blinked in surprise.

"He is," Ryuu nodded. "And you're partially wrong about Shisui's uses of the jutsu. He only ever used it once because it requires ten years to recharge."

"How do we know we can trust that Shisui's brother isn't doing the same to someone else?" A demanded. "Or planning to?"

"Doing the same?" Ryuu snorted. "No no. You misunderstand. This is my Sharingan's power."

He activated his left Mangekyo only, forming his usual genjutsu creature and everyone stiffened, knowing by the similar reactions that they all saw it. Ryuu let it fade and looked around.

"My brother had his right eye stolen by Danzo when he planned to use his jutsu, Kotoamatsukami, to save the Uchiha from themselves," Ryuu stated. "He entrusted his left to Itachi, who became a deep cover spy for the Hidden Leaf, within the Akatsuki. I was recently able to retrieve it and combined it with my own Sharingan, creating an eternal Sharingan that will not lose its vision from use of its special abilities, in my case, the creature, in my brother's Kotoamatsukami. Danzo, is still in possession of my brother's right eye. Which I'm going to be relieving him of very shortly."

Just then, a large green plant thing shot out of the ground in the middle of them, opening to reveal a completely white man with messy green hair and the right side of his torso and face missing.

"You," Ryuu snarled, recognizing him.

"Hello Ryuu," Zetsu greeted. "How's your arm?"

"Perfect," Ryuu growled. "Hold still and I'll show you."

"Wait, it was you?" A growled. "You were the one rehabilitated by the Akatsuki?"

"Yes," Ryuu nodded stepping sideways and using his Mangekyo Sharingan to leave a very real copy of himself in his place, keeping Danzo immobile.

Ryuu puled his mask off and set it on the table then dropped his cloak to the floor. He unclasped his flak jacket and pulled it and his shirt of, along with his glove, revealing his scars and where his arm merged with the rest of his body. Everyone stared in shock at his scars for a moment before Ryuu pulled his shirt and armor back on followed by the mask but leaving the cloak.

"A member of the Akatsuki, Deidara, the same that defeated Gaara, sorry, Lord Kazekage, also captured someone...very important to me. The Seven-tails' Jinchuriki, Fu. I went to save her and ended up fighting both Deidara and his partner, Sasori. In the end, I was defeated. Deidara's explosion completely destroyed my right arm and leg. Zetsu, the Akatsuki member you see before you, found me and attached an arm and leg taken from clones of him to me, saving my life. Over the next few months, he rehabbed me, planning to have me work for Madara Uchiha, leader of the Akatsuki. I refused and returned to the Hidden Leaf."

"You're welcome," Zetsu smirked turning to the others. "I have big news. Sasuke Uchiha has snuck in here. He's going to kill the Hokage-"

A's left fist closed around his throat, squeezing.

"I don't care about Sasuke Uchiha," A stated. "Personally, I want to kill the Hokage myself. As it is, I think I'll become temporarily blind and deaf. How does that sound Ryuu?"

"Sounds good to me," Ryuu grinned stepping back up behind Danzo, his double merging with him. "A, do you mind?"

"Be my guest," A growled backing away.

"Shall we begin Zetsu?" Ryuu asked activating his Mangekyo again.

A crescent shaped blade of chakra shot out of his pupil, streaking through the air and severing Zetsu near the ground. His upper body flew into the air when it did and Ryuu looked up at it, Amaterasu bursting to life all over his body. Zetsu shrieked in pain and fell to the ground, writhing in agony as he burned. After a moment, the flames faded, not even leaving ashes behind.

At the same time, Fu leapt at Ryuu and Danzo raised his arms, throwing Ryuu off and vanishing in a cloud of smoke. Ryuu snarled as Fu's hand reached him but Ryuu was suddenly behind Fu, who fell in five pieces, severed at the throat, hips, and shoulders.

"Pathetic," Ryuu growled. "Sasuke, let's go."

Everyone looked around as Ryuu sprinted out of the room and Sasuke appeared from a corner, following. As they left, they picked up Jugo and karin at the entrance. The four of them began to use the Body Flicker Technique, speeding through the snow, following Karin's directions.

"Think we'll get in trouble?" Sasuke asked.

"Definitely," Ryuu nodded. "But once he's dead, who's to say there wasn't just an accident?"

Sasuke grinned and nodded and they sped up.
