Chapter 19 Back in the leaf village
Hiruzen the Third Hokage was doing the most dreaded thing any Kage wanted to avoid.
PAPERWORK!
"Oh please someone take this damn hat away from me so I can retire at last. Damn you Minato! And you took the secret on how to get rid of all this paperwork!" Hiruzen yelled annoyed.
"Well, isn't this fun to see." Tsunade said as the group walked into the room.
"Tsunade? Oh finally! Now someone else can suffer from this job!" Hiruzen said.
"Suffer? Why don't you just use Shadow clones like Naruko does?" Sean asked since it was the easiest thing to do.
Hiruzen just froze at those words and thought them over while not moving a muscle.
"Uh...Sensei?" Tsunade asked as the old man went to a wall and started banging his head on it.
"IDIOT! IDIOT! IDIOT!" Hiruzen yelled in rage as he continued to beat his head on the wall making Sean and Naruko burst out laughing. "All those years wasted doing paperwork and the answer was right in front of me this whole time!" Hiruzen yelled enraged with himself for not seeing the most obvious answer. Sean and Naruko fell over as they were laughing to death with actual tears in their eyes while the adults looked on in amusement.
"You are a fucking idiot old man. And you were hailed as the god of Shinobi?" Sean asked making his eyes twitch in annoyance.
"Don't push your luck." Hiruzen warned before shaking his head and got serious. "So Tsunade have you decided to take the title as the Fifth Hokage?" Hiruzen asked making her sigh.
"Well I guess I have no choice really." Tsunade said.
"Oh that reminds me. Old man we need to talk in private real quick While Tsunade heals Kakashi." Sean said confusing him.
"Oh about what?" Hiruzen asked.
"As I said private." Sean said making him frown before telling the others to go which they did.
"So whats this about?" Hiruzen asked.
Meanwhile
Sakura and Sasuke looked over the knocked out form of Kakashi as he was still recovering from his fight with Itachi.
'No doubt about it. He used that Jutsu against him.' Sasuke thought.
"When was the last time you guys went home?" Sean asked as he and the group entered the room
"The hell took you so long?" Sasuke asked.
"Had a battle with Orochimaru again buddy." Sean said surprising him. "But never mind that now. Tsunade will heal Kakashi. But you're coming with me. Theres something we need to do." Sean said making him raise an eyebrow before they left the hospital.
Soon enough they entered the remains of the Uchiha compound. Sasuke hasn't been back here since the incident years ago.
"What are we doing back here?" Sasuke asked before they entered the shrine.
"You'll see soon enough. But first let me ask you something. Did you notice anything strange going on with your clan before the incident?" Sean asked making him think about it. He was so young at the time that he didn't see anything off. But now thinking back he noticed that members of the clan acting strange.
"Now that you mention it yeah. I noticed certain members acting strangely before Itachi killed them all. Why are you asking?" Sasuke asked before they made their way to the stone tablet. Sasuke had shown him this a while back but he never really looked at it.
"During our confrontation Itachi shared some information that you need to both hear and see." Sean said before placing his hands on the wall before finding what he was looking for.
"What the hell are you talking about? Why would you believe anything he has to say?" Sasuke asked.
"Those eyes of his. The eyes of Regret. I know them all to well." Sean said before punching the wall making it crumble apart revealing a hidden door which surprised Sasuke.
"Experience?" Sasuke asked since he knew enough about his past to know what he was talking about.
"Yup." Sean said before opening the door. Soon they entered the room and once inside Sasue widened his eyes in complete and total shock.
"Thats not possible." Sasuke said not believing what he was seeing.
"But it is Sasuke." Sean said.
In the room were living members of the Uchiha clan. One of which was his own mother.
"What the hell is going on?" Sasuke demanded to know.
"The night your brother killed most of your clan he did it for a good reason. They were planning to take over the village." Sean said shocking him.
"How do you even know this? I was there! You two barley even talked to each other!" Sasuke yelled before Sean's eyes shifted into his Dragons eyes.
"In the physical world your correct. But your brother used his own eyes to transport me to the world of Tsukuyomi. He explained everything to me there." Sean said.
Flash back
Sean and Itachi soon appeared inside the Tsukuyomi.
"So you managed to convince my younger brother not to pursue vengeance against me." Itachi said making him nod. "Might I ask why exactly?" Itachi asked in interest.
"I don't want Sasuke making the same mistakes I did. Revenge does nothing and solves nothing. What will change anyway? He'll be more alone than ever if he killed you. By capturing you and bringing you to Justice he can have some peace of mind. And I doubt his clan and parents would ever want him to throw away his life so carelessly because of you." Sean said.
Itachi looked at him for a moment before a small smile appeared on his face.
"You have a lot of wisdom for someone who's people are usually so violent." Itachi said making Sean chuckle.
"Just because we're considered brutes because of our strength doesn't mean we're not wise." Sean said before getting serious. "However in regards to past experience I know when someone is not who people say. Those eyes of yours full of Regret, Remorse but most all sadness. You didn't kill your clan just for the hell of it did you?" Sean asked making his eyes widen.
"How can you be so sure?" Itachi asked.
"I know those eyes all to well. I once had those same emotions in myself for the deaths of the innocents my brother killed because of my pursuit of Vengeance gave him an unthinkable power. Besides you might be able to trick anyone else especially Sasuke but you can't full me. What really happened that night?" Sean asked making him look at him for a full minute before sighing.
"My clan was preparing to take over the leaf village." Itachi said making his eyes narrow.
"Why?" Sean asked.
"I'm sure you are aware of the attack of the nine tailed fox sixteen years ago." Itachi said.
"Yeah, yeah I already know about that incident. What of it?" Sean asked.
"It's very well known that one of the village founders Madara Uchiha managed to find and control the nine tailed fox to battle the first Hokage Hashirama Senju. However during that time he left a will behind to the clan who secretly beginning forming a small group at first till it rose in numbers. Then when the Nine tails attacked the village the Uchiha clan was suspected to be the cause of the attack since the Sharingan could control the nine tails." Itachi said making Sean narrow his eyes further.
"Did they have proof?" Sean asked.
"Not physically no but the elders and lord Danzo began suspecting the clan and starting sending ANBU to watch and report on the clan. The Third Hokage believed the clan was completely innocent and it was. However a member of the Uchiha clan did use the nine tails to attack the village. He is a member of the Akatsuki." Itachi said.
"And this guy would be?" Sean asked.
"Madara Uchiha." Itachi said making his eyes widen.
"Whoa hold on a second. Madara was killed by the first Hokage at the valley of the end long before us. Theres no way he could be alive today." Sean said in disbelief.
"You would think so. However this person claiming to be Madara has vast knowledge of events that only the real Madara would know. There are still many questions but I do believe this person is in fact the true Madara Uchiha. However his power has been depleted greatly but is still a threat to the village. He and I killed the clan in order to stop my father who organized everything to take over the village." Itachi said.
"This just doesn't make sense." Sean said trying to think this information through.
"However there is something I did that Madara didn't know about during the incident. Something the elders and Danzo could not know till the time was right." Itachi said gaining his attention. "I managed to save about a fourth of the clan including my mother from the slaughter. I believe Sasuke has shown you the shrine of the stone tablet." Itachi said.
"Yes, he's shown me that thing." Sean said
"In that room is a secret sealed door that holds the last of the clan in a suspended animation jutsu that keeps them alive. I was planning on Sasuke to kill me then when and if he transplanted my eyes to himself the knowledge of their location would have been revealed." Itachi said.
"But now the plain has changed." Sean said.
"Indeed. I believe the Regime can keep the surviving members safe from Danzo and Homura. Koharu and the Third Hokage were opposed to the slaughter of the entire clan since they had a friend that was an Uchiha." Itachi said.
"Wait a second. It's clear you're spying on the Akatsuki. Wouldn't this blow your cover?" Sean asked.
"My job is done. I just need you to do your part before I come back to the village. Once the Truth is exposed the charges against me will be dropped." Itachi said.
"Hmm. Heh I got to hand it to you Itachi. A man who truly loves his country will give more than his life. He gives everything for the safety of his home." Sean said getting a small smile from Itachi.
End Flash Back
Sasuke was breathing heavily at what he was just old and fell back agains the wall.
"Easy buddy." Sean said helping him up. "I know this's a major shock but you were so young at the time you could never know what was going on. But your brother cared greatly for this village. But he cared more about you." Sean said.
"I...I honestly don't know what to think." Sasuke said at a loss for words. Never in his life would he have ever considered Itachi to be this loyal to the village. Sure he was loyal to the village as well but nowhere near as much as his brother.
"A man will do anything for his home Sasuke. I myself am willing to do what is required for Sparta and the Regime. So could you. You just need the best reason." Sean said.
Later
"This is unacceptable!" Homura yelled slamming his fists on a table after hearing that a fourth of the Uchiha clan was alive. In the room was Homura, Danzo, Koharu, Hiruzen and Sean.
"Deal with it old man. You guys shouldn't have even tried to do that in the first place. You caused this incident in the first place because of your lack of trust." Sean said glaring at the old man with his dragons eye making him flinch.
"I agree we did. However even you must understand we had our reason to be suspicious." Koharu said.
"Granted. But slaughtering innocent people and children. You are all sorry examples of human beings." Sean said making her and Hiruzen lower their heads in shame.
"This incident does not concern you Demigod. This is a leaf village matter. The Uchiha clan must be..." Was as far as Danzo got before Sean changed at him and slammed him into a wall hard while aiming one of his blades at his face making him sweat bullets.
"You do anything to the remaining survivors old man...And the Regime will declare war agains the leaf village." Sean said making his and Homura's eyes widen in shock.
"You insolent little!" Humura yelled before.
SLICE!
Homura's head went flying as his head was cut off in one clean swing. Koharu and Hiruzen sighed in disappointment at their former friend.
"Now Sean thats enough." Koharu said making Sean back up and placed his blade back on his back.
"By the way old man. Did you know Danzo is keeping a certain Red haired mother captive in his base." Sean said making Danzo widen his eyes in shock.
"What!" Hiruzen yelled in shock and anger.
"Kushina if I got that right. My eyes are very similar to the Uchiha clan. I can access information from almost anyone if I'm close enough." Sean said making Danzo shake in fear.
"But Kushina was killed while giving Birth to Naruko!" Koharu yelled. She had great respect for Kushina who shrugged off her burden of containing the nine tails because of Minato.
"Apparently not. Danzo staged the whole damn thing. He wanted Naruko to be turned into a living weapon. How distasteful." Sean said glaring at the old man to shake in fear that he was caught.
"DANZO!" Hiruzen yelled in rage before the old man threw a smoke bomb down and vanished.
"I got it!" Sean yelled rushing to the base to find Naruko's mother.
Later
Naruko sat next to her mother who was still out of it due to the amount of drugs Danzo had injected into her so she wouldn't wake up.
"Mom." Naruko said sadly.
"She'll be all right Naruko. Give her time. The amount of drugs in her system would have killed most Ninja but your mother is stronger then she looks." Kakashi said as he was fully healed but still taking it easy.
"Why would this old guy go after her mother?" Sakura asked.
"Because Naruko contains the nine tailed fox inside of her." Sean said surprising her. "The fourth Hokage wanted her to be seen as a hero but considering the damage and the amount of lives lost you can see how well that went." Sean said.
"Naruko how long have you known this?" Sakura asked. She didn't hate Naruko for what she held far from it. But she was curious about what else she could do.
"Since Graduation. That bastard Mizuki told me that night when I took that scroll. Course thats also how I learned to make solid clones." Naruko said grinning.
"Oh I was wondering why the others could only make illusions while yours were completely solid." Sean said impressed.
"Turok you think you can speed this along?" Sasuke asked.
"Uh uh. Anything natural I can heal in a damn heartbeat. But this was caused by dangerous drugs. If I mess up it could kill her. I'm still learning my abilities. Given time I could heal her from those drugs in minutes but for now she needs to shake off those drugs in her system. I can't speed this along any faster than Tsunade." Turok said.
"I could have a few gifted healers from Persia come here and speed this along. I have a few friends who owe me some favors." Julia said.
"Forget it." Sean said. "The best thing we can do is let the drugs run their corse and nothing else. We might make things worse if we try to speed this along faster." Sean said.
"So we do nothing?" Sasuke asked not exactly liking that.
"You have to learn Patience Sasuke." Itachi said coming into the room. Having been fully cleared by the Third Hokage and having the Village learn the Truth he was finally allowed back in the village. "Things like this take time. No matter how powerful you are or how skilled you are there some things you can't do but wait." Itachi said.
"Easy for you to say." Sasuke said making him chuckle since it was true. He had far more patience than Sasuke did at the moment due to years of training and his ANBU training.
"Well, How does it feel to be back in the village?" Kakashi asked.
"Good but I doubt most people will forgive me for what happened." Itachi said.
"Give them time and they will." Sean said.
"So what happened to Danzo?" Sasuke asked.
"Regretfully he got away along with all his Root ninja. Bastard was in such a hurry he left everything behind. However I believe I know where he's going now." Sean said.
"And that would be?" Kakashi asked.
"Orochimaru." Itachi said. "It's no secret that the two of them had business before in the past. I might even assume he gave Orochimaru the idea to invade the leaf village. Of course he didn't realize the full strength of the Regime." Itachi said.
"Arrogance. The one flaw in the human mind. Other than the fact that he was a power hungry fool. He reminds me of a councilor who turned against Sparta during the Greek Persian war." Sean said.
"And who would that be?" Itachi asked.
"Forget it. Doesn't matter anyway. That asshole has been long since dead since the formation of the Regime. Besides not like he was well liked as much as my grandfather was." Sean said.
Meanwhile
"Cursed Spartan!" Danzo said in anger. He knew these foreigners would cause nothing but trouble for him. Now he was forced out the leaf village because of the half god.
"Well, This is an unexpected surprise." Orochimaru said appeared from a tree.
"Orochimaru." Danzo said narrowing his eye at him.
"I take it you've been forced out of the leaf because of the Demigod. Not surprising in the least really. He's a very interesting warriors. One who I intend to use for my own uses." Orochimaru said.
"So we have the same agenda then. I can give you every piece of intel on the Regime since I am no longer allied with them." Danzo said making him chuckle.
"Very well." Orochimaru said.
Authors note: I know I said there would be a Lemon in this chapter but I just really want to get this chapter out. Now Homura is dead and Danzo is with Orochimaru. The Uchiha clan is still alive after all along with Mikoto. Kushina is still alive but in a drug induced Coma. Now Next Chapter will have the lemon between who though is the question. Read, Review, Fav and Follow. REVIEW! I WORKED ON THIS! See ya!
