The Clan Meeting had been called two days after the Massacre, And Now Sasuke stood off to the side of the room, as Everybody, including me, started to talk.
Hiruzen started off the meeting with a quick explanation on the dark events that had happened.
Alot of clans had an opinion, But they were swept away when The Hiashi made his opinion known, his voice seemingly more powerful and Filled with Anger than ever.
The Hyuga clan head, was outraged at how calm and nonchalant Hiruzen was being, Accusing that if it were a Clan that he didn't have a personal grudge against, He would not have been so relaxed and possibly, this incident would not have happened if the Uchiha we're not moved to the outskirts of the Village.
Naruto could see Sasuke getting angry his hands curled into fists and his you're a sleveled at the Elderly Hokage.
Hiruzen answered in a clam voice, one that spoke of his anger more than any amount of shouting could.
"Do not presume to know about me Hiashi. I had no such grudge against the Uchiha, and you are overstepping your boundaries by even suggesting such a thing" He said.
Hiashi chuckled, "If I am overstepping, than every Clan head here should be as well. We all know about the History between the Lord second and the Uchiha clan, and how his teachings must have influenced you"
The man next to Hiruzen, an older man with a bandaged arm and eye by the name of Danzo, stepped forward pushing a immense pressure out, which caused Hiashi to falter for a second, but he regained his composer, and was about to match Danzo's pressure.
Bu Hiruzen, his voice somehow low and calm, yet booming and Filled with rage, Sounded out.
"Stop these Childish Actions!" he said.
Danzo and Hiashi glared at each other, but they both stepped down under Hiruzens Wrathful gaze.
Once order had been restored, Hiruzen continued.
"Now... In light of these events, We must make a few decisions on what to do with The Uchiha Clan Land and their holdings within the village... Any suggestions?"
Nobody had any, Except Naruto, who stood to propose his idea.
Naruto looked at Sasuke, who looked back.
They held each others gaze for a second, Sasuke Having a strange mixture of Wrath, Saddness, and Acceptance in his eyes, but he nodded.
"I propose that all of the Uchiha Clans Belongings be transferred to the Uzumaki Compound, and that Sasuke Uchiha be taken into the Uzumaki Clans protection" As Naruto said these words, Sasuke gave a wry smile.
But most of the Clan heads, the ones who had never dealt with the Uzumaki, all exploded in Anger.
Accusations of wanting to make a grab for power and influence and wanting to poach the Last Uchiha for access to his Sharingan.
Naruto heard all of them yelled at him.
But he noticed the clans that didn't say anything.
The InoShikaCho trio had nothing to say, Skikaku even nodding slowly in agreement to Naruto's plan.
The Hyuga also didn't seek to have a problem.
And lastly, the Inuzuka, who seemed indifferent to the whole situation as a whole.
Fenrir, seeing that this noise wasn't going to end, Exploded his chakra outwards in a controlled way, Making all that it was aimed at buckle under the pressure that seemed to surpass even the Hokage.
Hiruzen, seemed mostly unaffected, And when he asked Fenrir to stop, the Wolf just chuckled and reigned in his chakra.
"I suggest we let the Uchiha decide what he wants to do" a Clan Head said, possibly trying to sabotage Naruto.
But when Hiruzen looked towards Sasuke, Sasuke had already started to move towards Naruto and Fenrir.
When he arrived Next to Naruto. He looked outward to the Room.
"I will do as Naruto Suggests" He said.
Not everybody was happy with the decision, some tried to refute it, saying that Naruto had an unfair advantage as they were obviously close friends, and that he was using that to influence Sasuke.
But Hiruzen silenced them all and sighed.
"If this is your choice Sasuke, I will support it. If you need anything, do not be afraid to ask" He said.
Sasuke nodded, "I thank you for your words Hokage... But I'm sure Naruto has everything covered" and like that, The meeting was over.
Sasuke, Fenrir and Naruto left the Building, Meeting with Anko outside as she had retuned form a nearby Danko shop, with a Bag of Storage Scrolls in hand, along with a box of extra Danko to share with the others.
As they made their way to the Uchiha clan compound, Sasuke stopped at the gate.
Naruto could feel his fear and Anger.
But when he put his hand on Sasuke's shoulder, It all seemed to melt away.
Sasuke looked at his friend, the first he had outside his brother, and cried.
"Why... Why did this have to happen?" he asked as he cried, hugging his red haired friend.
"Sasuke, We may never know why. But you aren't alone. You have Me, Ino, Hinata, Choji, Sakura, Kiba and Shikamaru... You aren't alone, so done feel like you must go at this by yourself. You still have a Family in us" Naruto said as he hugged his friend.
His words sunk into the mind of the Youth Uchiha, and he was touched.
To know he wasn't alone, even after everything had happened.
It made him feel happy.
"Thank you, Naruto" He said as he released his friend from his hug, and they walked into the Uchiha clan Compound, ready to start the reallocation.
.
.
.
It was hard work, sweeping through the whole Uchiha compound would have taken a long time.
But Naruto had summoned a few wolves to help, and the process seemd to go a lot faster.
As Sasuke, Skoll and Naruto were in a large underground room under the Main house, which Sasuke said contained the most valuable secrets of the Uchiha, Packing away Scrolls into the storage seals, Sasuke made a request.
"Naruto... I know this may be overstepping my boundaries... But I want to make a request" Sasuke said as he stopped and looked at Naruto.
"Ask away" Naruto said, as he stopped to pay attention.
"... I wish to sign the Wolf Contract"
Skoll, who was sitting near Naruto looked at Sasuke, "It is not Naruto's choice who signs the Contract" Skoll said, "You, as an Outsider of to the Uzumaki, would need to gain Frigga and Fenrir's permission"
Sasuke shook his head, "I don't care what I must do... I want to get stronger... I need to"
Skoll sighed at the Uchiha's determination, But chuckled, "You will make a great summoner with such determination... But just know that My Grandmother will not be as Kind as Fenrir would be. She will only take the absolute truth, no matter how deep you bury your thoughts, she will drag it out of you. Nobody can lie to her" As Skoll said this, Sasuke seemed unfazed.
"I won't lie... I want to get strong enough, so I can kill Itachi" Sasuke said.
Naruto was the one to speak next.
"Revenge won't fulfil your dreams... It won't bring back anybody... I won't deter you from your path Sasuke, because what he did was unforgivable... But don't let this goal Consume you" Naruto said.
Sasuke seemed to pause for a second, but he nodded.
"I'll keep that in mind... Thank you Naruto" he said, as they got back to packing away the Uchiha clan secrets.
