Chapter 11: False Accusations
Inside the council chamber which was a giant circular room that had one long circular table that went all the way around the room only leaving an opening for where somebody would enter to stand in the center of the room, one side of the table was for the civilian council's side and the other side was for the Shinobi side with the Hokage's seat separating the two. The entire civilian side was in an uproar, over the incident that happened earlier in the Market districts. Threats could be heard screamed out randomly
"That monstrosity has to die!"
"It's already killing people what if my family is next!"
"Did you hear its defiling the clans of Konoha!"
Before anybody else could say anything the doors to the chamber flew open and the Hokage walked in, and preceded to sit down in his designated chair. Before the Hokage could even say anything one of the council members that owned a store in the Market district yelled out rudely.
"Hokage-sama that demon killed a man today, he must be put down before he commits anymore crimes."
Slamming his hands down on the table the Hokage glared at the man and in a serious tone he said, "That is enough, he has a name and he did not commit a crime." This intrigued the Shinobi side of the council they had all been wondering how a supposed four year old boy would able to kill a fully trained chunin. "He was mereing defending himself from an uncalled for attack, if Naruto did not kill the man I would have personally executed him myself."
"THAT'S NOT TRUE." Another random civilian member yelled out. "We have eye-witnesses saying the demon brutally attacked and kill the man for his own sadistic pleasure."
The old Hokage clenched his fist than said "If I hear one more person in this room calling him a demon or anything else demeaning, I will strip them of their spot in this council and have them schedule to have an appointment with Ibiki in torture and interrogation. And speaking of your so called witnesses none of them can even be credible seeing how they all had severely different testimonies. Also some didn't even put down the proper so called murder weapon. And I will say this one more time," The Hokage flared a bit of Killing intent to get his point across. "Naruto did not kill that fool nor has he ever killed anybody, all he did was defend himself from an attempt on his life. Now unless anybody wants to have an early lunch break with Ibiki I recommend we drop the incident."
"We have another issue with that boy Hokage-sama we have reports that the boy was seen corrupting the Hyuga-heiress, surely we cannot risk the integrity of one of our clans." A certain pink haired council member said.
"Oh really now, and now why don't you inform me where did these reports come from?" The Hokage asked in an annoyed tone.
"Uh yeah we heard it from that poor man that had died in the market district, he told everybody around him how the boy was seen attempting to corrupt the Hyuga-heiress." The same council member said out-loud while triumphantly smiling.
"Really…." The Hokage said slightly exasperated. "Well even if
Naruto was really corrupting the Hyuga-heiress that issue falls for the Hyuga clan to deal with and last I check Miss Sakiri Haruno you are not Lady Hyuga whom is sitting over there and has yet to speak of a single complain against the boy so tell me. What do you have to do with any of Hyuga clan matters?"
It was no secret that Sakiri Haruno was a status climber, even back in the academy which she failed miserably in, because she had no talent what so ever in ninja arts. She was always seen attempting to gain the attention of the boys that had potential to become rich and powerful.
One of her first targets was Hiashi Hyuga whom was known to be one of the prodigies of his generation. But to her eternal displeasure he only had eyes for one female and that was his current wife Hitomi Hyuga, But what infuriated Sakiri even more was knowing that she couldn't even come close to ever even being compared to her.
Hitomi was a prestigious, well connected and extremely rich but even with all of this she was not stuck-up, she was kind, gentle, smart and the very model of a perfect wife.
An when it came to combat none of the other females even came close to her level, her skill in Juken was able to put her leaps and bounds above all the other Kunoichi-to-be of her age.
Sakiri would often prayed to all the gods she knew that hopefully some other boy would be able to catch Hitomi's eyes, because oh how extremely desired she was, whether it be in or hopefully outside of Konoha, the further the better she always thought.
But all the plans were ruined by one boy, but she believed that it was fate that he had come and paired Hiashi and Hitomi together, that boy was none other than Minato Namikaze though he was a bit dense he was a genius. And it didn't hurt that he was amazingly good looking and handsome. But for some reason he would always turn down her advances, even though she would give him all of her attention, after a while she started to believe he swung for the other team especially when that dammed tomboy Kushina Uzumaki had to been transferred into his class.
Soon Sakiri would always find him staring at the red hair girl whenever he saw her around town, with eyes of admiration and love. Sakiri believed that those eyes should have only been reserved for her and her only. Which led her to wonder what attracted Minato to Kushina so much, was it that disgusting tangle of tomato red hair she had. This would keep her up on certain nights questioning why would Minato choose that nasty red hair the Uzumaki girl had, when she believed that her bubble gum pink was clearly a more attractive color.
It had to have been that dam tomboy's personality Kushina had, maybe that was the type of girl Minato was into. Maybe he liked to be told what to do and get bopped on the head from time to time. Deciding that she would forget acting like the regal and pristine Hitomi Hyuga, she would try to act more like the hot head Kushina Uzumaki. So the next day when she attempted to take a swing at Minato's head from behind he easily caught her hand by the wrist and flipped her through the air causing her to land hard on the floor flat on her back. Sakiri was shocked to say the very least, Minato had never even raised a finger to stop Kushina so much when she bopped him on the head, but when she did it he aggressively countered her and left her laying there with just an mere apology. Than running off to most likely find that red haired girl
She soon realized that she would never be able to obtain Minato or Hiashi realizing that no matter what she did they would choose her over their respective loves, she attempted to get in with other clans. But even than the boys from the other clans would often just ignore her or they were too dam weird for her to even think about marrying them.
So Sakiri in the end just ended up marrying a merchant who owned a small shop and lived a modest life to her displeasure, she never was able to bathe in the glory and riches of being a noble she had believed she rightfully deserved. And now her only accomplishment was her Civilian council position which she had gained. After blackmailing and sleeping with various other civilian council members.
Breaking out of her thoughts Sakiri said in desperation, "Of course it matters to me, the Hyuga clan ensures the civilians safety if their integrity is compromised then my safety is compromised thus I demand the boy be banished from Konoha so the Hyuga clan can be thoroughly cleansed of his corruption, This is merely for the safety of the rest of us in Konoha."
At this point Hitomi had just have had it with this women's blatant accusations of Naruto, "So tell me Haruno how is Naruto-kun corrupting 'my' clan." Putting an extra emphasis on the word 'my.'
"Like I said before it compromises the interiority of the Hyuga clan Hito…" before she could finish the sentence she was hit with a wave killing intent from the Hyuga matriarch.
Standing up and slaming her hands on the top of the table in front of her Hitomi interrupts her in a cold yet still regal tone, "First of all you should do well to remember your place commoner, I am the Hyuga Matriarch not you and I shall be addressed as such. Do you believe yourself equal or above me, because I for sure know you are not. Even than someone as high up as Hokage-sama whom I have had many years of friendship and interactions with addressed me as Lady Hyuga, so who do you think you are in referring to me by my name so openly. As for you saying my clan has been compromised which is extremely disrespectful to my husband and I, we will be the ones to deem the integrity of it, because we are the leaders of the Hyuga clan not you some civilian who fancies herself as a member of the Shinobi council. And also if you or anybody in this council dares to mock Naruto-kun in my presence ever again, I will demonstrate to you all personally why we the Hyuga's are known as the strongest in Konoha." Activating her Byakugan to further push her point across.
Fugaku head of the Uchiha clan whom was sitting a couple of seats to her left, had his right eye twitch in displeasure at Hitomi's last statement, even though he knew what she was saying was true, at the moment the Hyugas were the strongest in Konoha and not even the Uchiha could argue that, their sheer numbers, skill in taijustu and their Byakugan eye's made it impossible to take that throne away from them.
Even though the Uchiha clan might have been 'one' of the stronger clans in Konoha their glory days were now far behind them. But even during the time when the Uchiha were at their strongest they still did not have the privilege to call themselves the strongest in Konoha it was always the Senju who held that honor and now even though the Senju were all but dead it was those dammed Hyuga's who took that rank from them.
Before Sakiri could retort to Hitomi the door to the council chamber swung up and in walk Hiashi with Naruto behind him, Hiashi bowed to the Hokage than gave a nod to the other Shinobi council members and took his seat next to a smirking Hitomi. Which slightly scared Hiashi, his wife was usually a gentle harmless flower but don't let that fool you, the Hyuga matriarch had a mean streak and when she was smirking he knew something had just gone down and she had just put somebody in their place or somebody was about get there asses handed to them royally .
Naruto who had stayed at the entrance of the room, walked into the center of the room faced the Hokage and got on one knee bowing to the Sandaime.
"Hokage-sama, and members of the council. My name is Uzumaki, Naruto and I am here as requested." As he looked back up he noticed many of the female members of the Shinobi council were eyeing him with looks similar to the ones Anko had given him earlier.
Tsume the clan head for Inuzuka clan leaned over the table and said to Naruto with a sickly sweet voice, "My, my Mina-kun it's been too long!"
This caused Naruto to slightly flinch in fear when Tsume licked her lips
Suddenly Tsume was hit on the back of the head by Hitomi who was sitting next to her she said, "Tsume-chan let's not scare Mina… I mean Naruto-kun." She finished with a slight blush.
"Yes let's all please calm down." The Hokage quickly said he had felt the sudden spike in pheromones being released by the females of the room."Now before we continue this meeting I would like to ask the civilian council to please leave, seeing that they have no part in this meeting."
At first they were protesting about being told to leave, arguing that they should know what was to happen to the boy. But they immediately stopped and ran out upon feeling the killing intent from the Hokage and females of the Shinobi council. The moment the door was closed behind them Hitomi asked.
"Naruto-kun what happened to you?"
"Yeah, clearly Sandaime was lying to us when he said you were only a four year old." Tsume said with a toothy grin.
"If I'm not mistaken you are Lady Inuzuka I would like to ensure you that Hokage-sama was not lying when he said I am four years old. And Lady Hyuga as for my transformation it was a side effect of a defensive mechanism that can be attributed to my condition." Naruto had no idea what he just said but that's what Hashirama and Kurama came up with and told him to say if anybody asked what happened.
"Huh?" Tsume asked.
Hitomi turned to her and said, "Let's just pretend its puberty." Hiashi sweat dropped at Hitomi's attempt at a simplified explanation to the Inuzuka whom were not always known for their intelligence.
That was the Nara's cup of area of expertise, a couple of seats to Tsume's left the Nara clan head sneezed slightly while he was half asleep.
"Yes we will put it into the reports as him going through a stage of puberty." Hiashi sweat dropped again and said mentally "Seriously Hokage-sama you too."
"But we have more important issues to discuss, Naruto here has recently unlocked a bloodline that hasn't been seen in Konoha for many years." The Hokage continued
Hearing about a bloodline instantly caught the attention of all the council members, especially about one that hasn't been seen in Konoha.
This was even able to catch the attention of the usually sleep and lazy Nara, Shikaku. "And what bloodline is that Hokage-sama?" he asked
"One that is very important to Konoha, you could say that it is the roots of the very city." The Hokage said.
The moment the Hokage said that the lazy Nara knew exactly what bloodline the Hokage was talking about, "Mokuton but how?" the Nara asked himself.
The Hokage saw the look of realization on the Nara's face and then the look of slight confusion and he knew exactly why he was so confused. Turning back toward the rest of the council he said.
"While I could tell you what his bloodline is I think it would be more believeable if I had Naruto-kun demonstrate it to you what it was instead."
Reaching inside his robe he took out 5 shuriken. Then proceeded to aim at Naruto with them, but before he could throw them he was stopped by Hitomi.
"HOKAGE-SAMA WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING!" She yelled out in fear for Naruto's life.
"Lady Hyuga I'm merely demonstrating his bloodline you do not need to fret, No harm will come to Naruto." The Hokage said with a carefree tone.
"What do you mean no harm you are aiming shuriken at him. Don't we have some practice shuriken we can use instead?" Hitomi asked with a worried tone.
"Lady Hyuga there is only Jonin or higher ranked Shinobi in this room do you really believe anyone of us would carry around practice equipment? And don't worry I won't aim for any vital areas. The Hokage said still in his carefree tone. Just as he was about to throw them again, Hitomi interrupted him again.
"WAIT, can we use less shuriken I mean why five?"
Naruto swore he heard groans of disappointment coming from some of the council when Hitomi had interrupted the Hokage this time, "I swear people in Konoha must have a thing for child abuse because I'm beginning to lose count on the amount of times people have tried to kill me already." Naruto thought suddenly he heard Hashirama in his mind
"Hey Naruto ," Hashirama said.
"Yes Shodaime-sama?" Naruto replied
"I have a plan to mess with the old monkey a bit, listen carefully to what I'm going to tell you? " Hashirama said whiling chuckling with a giant grin that could almost match one of Kurama's.
Back in the outside world Hitomi was still arguing with the Hokage.
"How about a pen or pencil can you throw those instead?" Hitomi asked
"Look Lady Hyuga I assure you that no harm will come too Naruto-kun, I care for him just as much as you do." The Hokage argued back still in a carefree tone but slighted irritated now. "So just have a seat and prepare to be amazed by the show." With that the Hokage drew back his arm extra quickly, as to not be interrupted again by Hitomi and threw all five of the shuriken lighting fast at Naruto.
THUD
THUD
THUD
THUD
THUD
Naruto let out a gasp as did the entire council room as all five of the shuriken hit him dead on in multiple vital areas, Naruto fell to his knees in pain than flat onto his face unmoving.
Suddenly the entire room was flooded with killing intent, everybody turned to the point of origin and it was revealed to be a extremely pissed off Hitomi Hyuga who's byakugan was already activated and flaring dangerously. She yelled out in a voice that Sarutobi swore could freeze the deepest parts of hell.
"HIRUZEN!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi who was known as the God of Shinobi and student of both the first and second Hokages, knew there was no justu's in the world that would be able to save him from the wrath of the Hyuga matriarch at the moment. And even if Hitomi didn't kill him Jiraiya or Ma would probably do it the moment they heard, that he had threw shuriken at the boy knowing that he had no prior training that would have allowed him to dodge them. Heck a newly promoted chunin probably wouldn't have been able to dodge them at the speed he had thrown them at, no less a boy who was only four years old and no prior training because he didn't grow up in a ninja village.
It was at this moment Hitomi charged at him with her palm raised which by the way was glowing so brightly one could have easily mistaken it for a rasengan.
"Oh shit," the Hokage muttered out.
