Chapter 4

This is Adult Talk

By Melon1205

"HE DID WHAT!" Fugaku Uchiha yelled, "DON'T WE HAVE ENOUGH MONSTERS ALREADY?"

The man before him flinched at the clan leader's shouts, "Sir…" he trailed off as a woman entered the room.

"Calm down dear," said Mikoto Uchiha, "Just go talk to Hokage-sama."

"ABSOLUTELY NOT! I WILL NOT HAVE ANOTHER MONSTER IN THE LEAF!"

"But…" said Mikoto, "She's only a child."

Fugaku sighed, starting to calm down again, "How old is she?"

The kneeling Uchiha answered, "She is about five years old, sir"

"THE SAME AGE AS SASUKE?!" Fugaku blew up again, "I WILL NOT ACCEPT THIS! I WILL NOT HAVE 2 MONSTERS IN THE SAME CLASS AS MY SON!" His eyes turned red but Mikoto ignored it.

"The same age as Sasuke…" muttered Mikoto, "He'll be fine, plus, they aren't really monsters."

Fugaku glared at her, "You know exactly what I mean. I will not have a BLOODY MIST YUKI and that KYUUBI JINCHUURIKI with my son!"

"Sir…" said the Uchiha, meekly, "May I be excused?"

Fugaku thought for a moment, "No, we're going to Hokage Tower NOW."

Nearly the same thing was happening at the Hyuga Clan. Although, Hiashi Hyuga was taking it much more calmly. He paced back in forth in the courtyard. Two Hyuga Chunin stood in front of him, watching him. 5-year-old Hinata and baby Hanabi peeked out from behind a wall.

Hiashi ignored them and continued to mutter to himself. "If she's five then she's in the same grade as Hinata…"

The two Chunin continued to wait patiently. Finally, Hiashi said, "You two, come one, we're going to see Sandaime Hokage." With that, the three of them took off and disappeared.

Hiashi bounded across the roofs of Konaha. Ahead, the red tower stood out in the bright sun. The 火 (Fire) stood out. They landed in front of the tower and began walking in.

The moment Hiashi walked in, he noticed Fugaku Uchiha, the Uchiha clan head. Huh, what's he doing here? Hiashi thought as he continued to walk toward Hiruzen's office.

"Hyuga-sama!"

Hiashi turned and glared at the two chunin behind him, thinking they were the one's who had disturbed his train of thought. Instead, he saw that Fugaku had shown up behind him. "Uchiha-sama," he said, nodding his head politely. He immediately noticed that Fugaku seemed angry about something. So it's also about the Yuki.

"Are you here to see Hiruzen?" asked Fugaku Uchiha.

Hiashi sighed, he has no respect for the Hokage, "Yes, I am here to see Hokage-sama." he answered, putting an emphasis on Hokage-sama.

Fugaku ignored it and nodded, "Yes, I'm here to talk to him about the Yuki," he said in disgust.

"As am I," said Hiashi.

Hiruzen, the Third Hokage of Konoha was enjoying his afternoon when the 2 clan heads entered his office. "Yes?" he asked.

"Hokage-sama," said Hiashi.

Fugaku just stood there, but a glare finally made him show some respect, "Hokage-sama." he said.

"Uchiha-sama, Hyuga-sama," Hiruzen nodded, "But why must we be so formal? Come and have a cup of tea! He motioned to the kettle on the desk. "

"Hiruzen," said Fugaku, a hint of annoyance in his tone, "we are here to talk about the Yuki." and Hiashi nodded in agreement.

The Third Hokage sighed, his good mood gone, "Very well." he made a hand motion and an ANBU appeared, "Get me Danzo, Homura, Koharu… and Kakashi."

The ANBU nodded and disappeared, out the window.

Fugaku watched him go, then whirled on the Hokage. "Kakashi Hatake? What does he have to do with this?"

Hiruzen wore a mask of perfect patience, "he brought her here of course."

Now, Fugaku was obviously fuming. The silver-haired freak who managed to get Sharingan, as a gift! Now he just had to bring a monster from the Bloody Mist.

"Calm down," said Hiruzen, "Let's go to a meeting room. Don't want you to destroy all my paperwork."

Hiashi chuckled and walked to the door.

"But she's a child!"

"She's a monster!"

"I will not allow her to be in the academy with my son!"

"Send her back!"

Hiruzen sighed, the peaceful discussion had turned quite loud and angry.

"Sandaime Hokage-sama," said Hiashi, "I usually support you in all that you do…but this time, I cannot."

Kakashi turned his single eye at Hiashi and glared at him, "She's the same age as your daughter! She's a child! You can't send her back to Kirigakure! They killed both her parents!"

Fugaku rolled his eyes, "For once, I actually agree with Hiashi."

Hiashi looked insulted, but Danzo spoke up, "What if you entrusted me with her?"

Hiruzen's head shot up. What Danzo meant was that he would take Setsuka and have her join root. With her ice kekkei genkai, no matter how unstable it was, it could still make root too dangerous and powerful. "Absolutely not."

"She can't stay!" said Fugaku again, "She's dangerous! What if she betrays us?"

"She's five!" said Kakashi, exasperated.

The conversation when on. "Fine!" shouted Kakashi, "I, Kakashi Hatake, Head of the Hatake Clan, adopt Setsuka Yuki as a member of the Hatake clan."

Hiashi and Fugaku both immediately erupted into more shouting. Hiruzen thought about this. This could work. Kakashi could take care of and watch her while Fugaku and Hiashi both get what they want. Kind of.

"SILENCE!" shouted Hiruzen (finally), "What Kakashi's doing, I approve. So, here's my final decision. You do not get to argue. I AM THE HOKAGE."

Everyone else in the room nodded, surprised by Hiruzen's anger. The Third Hokage paused for a moment, then began, "Beginning today, Setsuka Yuki will be Setsuka Yuki-Hatake. She will be under the care of Kakashi Hatake. For the next three months, she will stay within Konoha Hospital. Until then, if she steps out, the time will increase."

"What is she? A criminal?" muttered Kakashi.

Hiruzen ignored him, "Setsuka Yuki-Hatake will not attend the academy. Instead, her basic training will be entrusted to Kakashi. When she is 12, she will join a team."

He paused, "That is my final decision. All of you are dismissed except for Kakashi. We will not discuss this anymore. Leave."
