It had been 10 years Since the death of Naurto Uzimaki of Konoha betrayed and murdered by the other members of the Konoha 11 his Sensei Kakashi and even Jiraiya his own godfather on Tsunada's order. Konoha lost a lot friends after that got out it was reviled by Danzo of all people during his execution.
8 Years ago 2 months after Naurto's death.
Jiraiya had found evidence of Danzo working with Orochimaru during the Oto-Suna invasion. His execution was to be witnessed by Konoha and Suna alike. Danzo's wooden arm with the Sharingans as well as his right Sharingan eye was removed. After it discovered upon his standoff at the hands of the Uchiha and Sannin did it really become apparent just how crazy Danzo's fanaticism had made him. The Uchiha and Senju wanted to lynch Danzo right then and there for his perversion of their families bloodlines but Shikamaru stopped them. He figured the best way to get even was for Konohagakure as a hole to want him dead and they still needed to know what else Danzo knows maybe Orochimaru would be next to be taken down. Tsunade begrudgingly agreed the idea came after by the Konoha Council to invite Suna, the idea was that witnessing Danzo's death mite make there alliance even stronger, knowing Konohagakure dose not suffer a traitors to their friends even in they're own ranks. This would back fire in Tsunade and clan heads opinion but were out voted.
Konoha council chambers day before execution.
Tsunade was sitting in her chair in the centre of the council Gaara was to her right. Jiraiya was to her left standing arm crossed though hiding emotions quite well the guilt of what he had done to Naruto. The depression was still vary clear in his eyes even if the glare he pointed at Donzo helped hide it. The advisors to the Hokage Homura and Koharu were there as well not looking to happier at seeing Danzo. When the evidence of Danzo's deeds were brought to light the two quickly abandoned him out of such hatred and shame of him and for themselves. They gave Tsunade their retirement forms they couldn't believe they helped such a mad man for such along time and recommended Shikaku Nara to be their replacement Tsunade agreed to it.
This would be their last day as the Hokage's advisors. "Councillors of Konoha and honoured guests of Sunagakure today we see Danzo Shimura pay for his crimes against 2 of the 5 great Shinobi Villages for Suna Danzo's crimes are as such". She took out a list. "Aiding and abetting with a known traitor in the murder of Rasa the 4th Kazekage of Sunagakure and father to the 5th Kazekage Gaara". Temari and Konkaro were angry Gaara wasn't. "And for Konoha?". Gaara asked. "Adding the known traitor Orochimaru in Assassinating the 3ed Hokage Hiruzen Saratobi". Asuma glare murderously Danzo payed him no attention. "Aiding the Oto in Oto-Suna invasions of Konoha. Kidnaping blood-line users for Root. Not disbanding the Root program even when ordered to by the third Hokage. Danzo how do you plea?". Tsunade said. Danzo looked at Tsuande then Jiraiya and finally Gaara and began to laugh.
Danzo hadn't laughed sense before the first shinobi war almost 70 years ago so it came out more like a raspy cackle it disturbed many in the room but as quickly as it came it stopped. "Hokage-Sama all I've ever done was look out for Konoha I am the Root that keeps the great tree standing at all costs. You Jiraiya Kakashi and the Konoha 11 have done just that the day you killed Naruto Uzumaki". Tsunade and Jiraiya's eyes widened with shock Danzo was supposed to have a seal on his tough to keep him from spilling SS-rank secrets. Jiraiya did this personally the council and Suna officials shocked. The clan heads didn't even know about the assassination it was an SS-racked mission from the Hokage herself and can't be divulged to any one family included. It made them realize way their kids where a hole lot quieter the official story was that Naruto was on a long term mission. He was later found dead they even had a corps made to look like Naruto that Jiraiya had "discovered" later.
It was also a way to flush out the Akatsuki that were looking for the Kyuubi outside the village undefeated while they had the chance. Silence from the stunned Konohagakure and anger from the Sunagakure Shinobi Gaara was shocked angry and sad at hearing not only Donzo's words. Gaara seeing the smile's on some of the councillors, made him unbelievably angry. Ki festered for him if he wasn't the man he was now a Kazekage with friends family comrades with a village depending on him blood would have been spilled but in lewd of that Gaara shouted. "WWWWWHHHHHAAAAATTTT?". His ki flowed threw the chamber sand appeared everywhere but as is it was stated Gaara is now of a higher standing and in control of his emotions. (for the most part). The sand fell back to his gored ki if only barely vanished. "Tsunade Senju after Danzo is sent to hell where he belongs. We will have a vary long discussion about this outrage and why Suna and Konoha should still be allies". Gaara ordered in a rage. Tsunade would have spoken but Danzo beat her to it. "Are you really going to take that from a rival Kage Senju? Alliance or not every village is still a potential enemy even shinobi in this village if not trained correctly is a threat to it's power". Danzo said with disappointment. "SILENCE DANZO". Tsunade screamed angrily. "You don't get to make clams like that not after everything you've done. You are nothing but a bitter vindictive old man who will never be the Hokage of Konoha". Danzo narrowed his one good eye at Tsunade.
"Maybe so Senju but I've been running the village's protection as the Dark Hokage for years. Sense the supposed God of Shinobi became a glorified pencil pusher. I do what must be done you arrogant child. Everything from military activity to assassinations to unauthorized recon without Hiruzen looking over my shoulder. Because he didn't have the stomach to what I do for Konoha". He glared harder with his one good eye. "I am what the Hokage what YOU should have been eliminating threats both foreign and domestic. Serving our village by making it feared strong and as powerful as it can be to keep lesser villages like Suna in their place". Gaara and his people were enraged Danzo grinned. "If I was Hokage Genin would be trained from day one doing at the vary least c-ranked missions. I'd completely do away with those stupid D-ranks that turn shinobi in to more of a novelty as opposed to the warriors they should be. Instead of combat recon and training learning the importance of taking a life for their village. They paint fences and chase cats around hardly what I call work for soldiers. The people should hire a maid if they can't clean up after themselves". He looked angry just thinking about it.
"They learned about the art of the shinobi only to be care takers and farm hands and animal control it disgusts me to no end." Danzo said the last part throw his teeth Tsunade's own anger showed. "That's your only goal then? Start a war with the world to prove you're strong?". Danzo face and voice lacked anything resembling emotion. "I would have put an end to the farce of Shinobi with humanity and use Tobirama-Sensei's teachings. He had better understanding then Hashirama-Sama ever did that victory came's with a price sacrifices must be made. I learned that lesson well in the 1st war I lost a lot of friends and family because of it. Much like you and your pet Uchiha I'm the last of my clan. The only difference is my loyalty never faltered". He looked to his right side. "I learned that day that as Hokage you must put aside all emotions all attachments to do what needs to be done. Sacrifice what you need to sacrifice in order to active victory even going so far as to let Orochimaru replace my missing eye and amputate my once useless arm replacing it with, what you called an abomination of science and god. I called it progress I did it all for the sack of the village I love and would do anything to protect even at the cost of my vary body and soul that is what all Konoha shinobi should be". Tsunade was pissed beyond measure like everyone else. "After all you a Sannin turned the Senju name and your tittle in to a joke. You drank and gambled most of your fortune away provided aid to Kumo. After they murdered your uncle and nearly kidnapped Hiashi's daughter". Hiashi was surprised to hear that.
"You're only Hokage because you lost a bet with a child and then relied on him for everything. Where as I have sold my soul humanity and the vary dignity of myself and my family name for Konoha countless times". Danzo continued with a disappointed look on his face as if scolding a child. "I lost everything from half my body to the woman I loved to my parents brother and little sister. The most important person in my life was a mess of blood and cuts when I found her. Because of Konoha and still I protected it proudly. You lost two people and never stopped crying about it". He said angrily completely ashamed of having to once call her his Kage. "Don't you dare use Konoha to justify your actions Danzo what you did to yourself was of your own volition. Including that monstrosity you let Orochimaru put on you as for the war that was different Lord 2ed did what he did because we were in the middle of a war you bastard". Jiraiya yelled out angrily then glared harder. "Sarutobi-Sensei and your team were the only ninja on hand. He trusted his abilities and leadership far more then anyone else's. He volunteered to go but Lord 2ed went himself remember Danzo. He sacrificed himself to save you your team and Sansai's team you fuck". Jiraiya's words were dripping with hatred Danzo glared.
"I know he did you perverted child I was there in the trenches before you could walk. I know war it's faults and it's uses Tobirama-Sensai made a mistake as a leader. He should have let Sarutobi go and save himself so he could comeback and destroy Kumo at full force later on and show the power of the great Konohagakure. Instead he sacrificed himself and not but a month later Hiruzen talks about peace with the vary person that killed our Hokage your uncle Senju". Donzo looked at Tsunade with distant something that she returned. "Why didn't you volunteer to hold them off back then Danzo?". Asked Koharu the former advisor to the Hokage and former female member of the legendary team Tobirama. "What?". Danzo asked angrily.
"You forget I was there all those years ago as well with you Hiruzen and Tobirama-Sensai. The same goes with Homura here. I remember it vary clearly, Tobirama asked for a volunteer to hold off the Kinkaku kill squad after us giving the rest of us time to escape". She grinned at Danzo annoying him. "I remember that look in your eyes all to well Danzo it was fear you were going to volunteer but didn't fear held you back. The vary thing you've preached for so long that a true shinobi shouldn't have even back then fear held you of all people back". Danzo was getting angrier. "Hiruzen was just as scared as the rest of us but didn't hesitate for a moment. When it came to his comrades safety it took me to many years to realize it was Tobirama's final test". She looked down sadly full of regret from just remembering that day.
"We were Konoha's elite the smartest strongest and most faithful to the Will of Fire it had back then. Anyone one of us could have been Hokage that day Danzo even you. If we volunteered first but unlike Hiruzen we couldn't find the courage to do so". Koharu said looking Danzo dead in his eye he was clearly not liking his courage being in question. "As Hokage you must defend not only Konoha but all who live in it. You must know that to be Hokage means being the head of a larger family this is The Will of Fire Hashirama-Sama dreamed of and all Hokages past and present must abide by it". She looked down sadly remembering her Sensai and teammate.
"Tobirama Sensai was going to sacrifice himself regardless of who volunteered he just wanted to know that he was leaving Konoha in good hands". She was ashamed of herself something everyone picked up on. "I myself may have respected your realism when it came to the security of Konoha Danzo and I believe you would lay your life down for it even now. Because In your own way you were always loyal to Konoha and would continue protecting it to the end". Homura said catching many by surprise but then their eyes grow cold and angry as Homura spoke once again.
"However you have done to much damage to the reputation of Konoha and your traitorous acts costed us a Hokage a brilliant shinobi and a vary close friend the atrocities you have committed under this villages name will not go unpunished". He said loudly angrier clear in his voice. Danzo was angry as wall. He looked at the old advisors. "Don't forget Homura you and Koharu have helped lay most of the ground work for a good number of those so callled atrocities. You two backed me more then you ever did your dear friend Hiruzen. Root existed because of your backing because you knew Hiruzen wouldn't do the things I would allowing me to go unchecked. It was because of you backing me and the funding you gave me all these years and convincing these good for nothing councillors to out vote many of their own Hokages propositions. It all aloud me to come this far you and Koharu have been nothing but tools". Danzo shouted angrily at them.
"I used you against your own so called friend of over 50 years you knew Hiruzen was getting old and lost much of his flame as a shinobi he could have killed me, when he found out Honzo and I teamed up he could have killed Orochimaru when he attacked Konoha but Hiruzen was weak and wouldn't kill his one time student". Danzo then sneered at them. "You two dare to mock me for my not volunteering all those years ago well that one act of hesitation on my part turned me in to what I am today. I have spent years making up for it so much so that you joined me instead of your best friend. You have just as much blood on your hands as I do". The two aging advisors lowered their heads in shame at that Danzo was right.
Danzo then calmed down and looked at Tsunade. "It's a pity Tsunade when you took my advice on Naruto. I was almost starting to see you as a real leader and Jiraiya as a real shinobi. Shame not even the protection of the vary village your family created fought and died for still isn't even good enough for you to be one". That got Gaara's attention and it made Tsunade and others shake. "What do you mean advice what did you tell Senju?". Tsunade ignored Gaara not using her title to stop Danzo. "ANBU". She yelled the ANBU speeded towards Donzo but where stopped by sand. "Kazehage-Dono". Tsunade shouted to try and stop Gaara but the look in his eyes froze not just her but all in the room. Konoha and Suna alike though not directly at her she could still feel it. Gaara with his sand flowing all around the room chin resting on his crossed hands elbows firmly on the table calm yet cold eyes frozen in a chilling sense of malice. "Danzo it is taking a lot of my will power not to to revert to my past self the one that struck fear in to the very fabric of my own people. The self that almost justified the bigotry Jinchuuraki have faced its was this past self of mine that almost distorted this village". Konoha and Suna shivered remembering Gaara's past self as he continued.
"If not for the efforts of one man this man saved me from that darkness. That helped me overcome my psychosis and be what I am today. This is the man you clam to have a hand in the death of so tell me Danzo Shimura of Konohagakure what did you say to Tsunade?". His voice and deeds from the past echoed in the minds of all in the room. It set shivers up their spines yet Danzo was calm and collected. Danzo gave Gaara his same indifferent expression he always had and spoke. "I told Tsunade the truth Naruto was growing to be the danger he was always going to be to the village without proper guidance. How I said it to her and what she found out when I was captured are different". Danzo said vaguely. "What do you mean by that?". The Kazekage said eyes locked on to Danzo's vary soul he grinned at it.
"I told Senju of the degradation of Naruto's seal after some long and costly research I discovered that even though Naruto can take the Kyuubi's chakra when ever he liked. He still didn't because prolonged exposure of that level would destroy his body and would allow the Kyuubi to take over. The seal itself was used. "On the fly" as they say it had way to many drawbacks but there was a failsafe. The 4th hokage put in the seal if Naruto was killed by unnatural means the Kyuubi world die with him or at the vary least it would rip the monster apart, to the point were it would take centuries to reform, if at all it was true but as I said Naruto rarely use the Kyuubi unless pushed normally in to a uncontrollable rage. You've seen it Jiriaya saw it same with Hatake Uchiha and Haruno scary isn't it? Now imagine what 16 years of bottled up anger from almost 2 decades of beatings hatred and ignorance from your own people every day of your life would do but you know that vary well don't you Gaara?". What Danzo said made sense to many of councillors. Danzo looked at the people and smiled as Gaara glared.
"It's funny if Naruto was given to me to begin with none of this would have happened. He would have been the weapon he was born to become but because of Hiruzen's weakness and the villages bigotry. Naruto became a clear threat I never wanted people to find out about his tenet for this vary reason. Root how ever would have been his home with like minded people who respected power and the chain of command. Naruto could have showed his true potential I wouldn't have cared just about his tenet he would have been trained by the best in all forms of combat not just his power from the Kyuubi. Naruto could have been a jonin captain by now and vary well have succeeded me when my time to leave this world came his potential could have been limitless like his parents". Tsunade's eyes widen. "He wouldn't?". She thought worried Jiraiya had enough of this. "And who would they be?". Gaara asked before Danzo could answer a fist flew past Gaara's sand and in to Danzo's face shooting him to a wall it should have knocked him out that fist belonged to Jiraiya. "I'VE HEARD ENOUGH FROM YOU DANZO". Jiraiya shouted angrily. "You have disrespected our Kage's Konohagakure it's ally's and know you want to leak more S-ranked secrets not anymore tonight I'm going to seal that mouth of your shut go a proper this time. Then tomorrow you're going to die in front of the village you disgraced with your actions". An angry Jiraiya yelled Danzo with blood leaking down his mouth chuckled.
"What's the point of it being Classified anymore? Jiraiya are you afraid that it will show just how much of failure you truly are as a sensei and as a shinobi?". He said smiling then whisper so only Jiraiya could hear it. "Or even as a godfather?". That stunned Jiraiya making him wince with untold guilt. "Take him away". Tsunade ordered ANBU appeared grabbed Danzo and disappeared silently quickly followed by a vary angry Jiraiya Danzo pissed him off so much Tsunade wasn't even a factor right now. The council and Suna officials looked suspiciously at one another. Gaara broke that silence by standing and saying. "We're going to back to the hotel we will see Danzo's execution then leave this accursed village. Hokage I expect a meeting right after no excuses". Gaara order as he and his company left the chambers. Tsunade's head hanging low voice in but a whisper. "Everyone dismissed". Everyone filed out of the room Jiraiya who was normally there for her but already left to deal with Danzo leaving her alone. When the door closed behind them she waited a minute the began to cry.
20 minutes later T .
Danzo was strapped to a chair blood pouring down his face chest arm and legs Anko and Ibiki watching in the back ground. Getting a firsthand look at what happens when you anger a sannin was rare. Neither have ever seen this side of Jiraiya before the normality goofy easygoing perverted sannin was ripping Danzo to sheds. They never liked Danzo but the rarest thing happened the head tortures felt if only slightly sorry for Danzo even if they were taking notes of Jiraiyas technique. Even with the violence infected on him Danzo held in the pain grinding his teeth. The former Root commander was never going to give Jiraiya the satisfaction of hearing him scream in pain. When it was done Danzo grinned if only slightly. "I thought you would finally act like the shinobi you're known for but at the end of the day no matter how many titles you and Senju have. You two are not worthy of being called Shinobi a perverted clown and a bitter drunk you two are such a disappointment to this village". Jiraiya was getting angrier and angrier with Danzo. "If I would have trained the three of you we'd still have Orochimaru. You would have taken your job more seriously and Tsunade wouldn't have been an emotional drunk about her boyfriend and brother who knows Jiraiya?". He said with a smirk "You mite have even had a chance with her". Jiraiya punched Danzo in the face breaking his nose knocking him out launching him to the ground.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP". Jiraiya shouted and yanked Danzo's tongue from his mouth using a piece of paper with a seal on it. He placed it on Danzo's tongue the seal would render Danzo unable to speak and burn while Danzo was alive he looked at his two counterparts Anko and Ibiki with authority in his voice he said. "Take the piece of shit to his cell I want him on round the clock watch ANYONE fucks this up will be next to see me mad UNDERSTOOD?". They two nodded and got out of Jiraiyas way while making his was out Jiraiya needed a drink and he wouldn't stop till the execution tomorrow.
2 hours later in Donzo's cell
Danzo woke up with a massive headache the pain Jiraiya inflicted on him taking its toll the burning of the seal making his mouth feel like it was on fire but Danzo wouldn't feel that pain for long there however. If Jiraiya would have bothered to look he would have noticed a second seal under Danzo's tough a nullification seal that was made special for what had happened to him previously. When he activated it, it canceled out Jiraiyas seal he also had a suicide seal on his upper right wisdom tooth every Root member had one including him even if he never thought he'd ever use it. Danzo could have smiled at Jiraiya's stupidity but didn't even if he wanted to. With all his hard work undone and with his sacrifices in vain abandonment by the council and his closest allies. the Hokages advisers Homura and Koharu Danzo had nothing to smile about for decades he had been in Hiruzen Sarutobi's shadow.
Doing everything Hiruzen wouldn't and couldn't do as Hokage putting his honour to the side for his bigger picture of making Konoha. His home his village the most powerful force in the world. He would not he could not let anything stand in the way of that not a rival village trying to conquer or destroy It or the weak willed and minded fools in it trying to pacify his village. Danzo had done everything in his power to stop these things from happening his hole life and what does he get executed tomorrow for treason. HIM l Shimura Danzo Konohagakure's most fearlessly loyal shinobi fine. Destroy his village ruin his legacy everything he had fought for. The last surviving Shimura will use this and let them all know what they have done to the son of there. "Greatest" hero the 4th Hokage. He contemplated it for hours on actually doing it as if fighting against something.
"I can't believe I actually brought up Uzumaki's assassination. It wasn't a slip of the tongue either I'm supposed to be immune to Genjutsu so why?". The thought angrily trying to remember something his eye then glowed red. "Doesn't matter anymore if word gets out Konoha is out a Jinchuuriki. They'll have to prove themselves to keep supremacy it's for the good of Konoha to make stronger warriors. Besides for once I'd like to have a laugh at their experience". He thought with a grin while he unknowingly was staring at a man with Sharingon eye and a scared up right face. "You destroyed the vary notion of being peace to the world Danzo so now you're going to help me bring it down". Obito said angrily before disappearing.
Day of Danzo's execution
Danzo was walking down a path made between a crowds waiting to see the traitor die. He stopped his false limping and walked perfectly fine his one good arm tied behind his back by a rope around his waist. His one eye looking forward to the poll he'd be tied to. Tsunade to the right of it Jiraiya to its left. Danzo's trademark pure neutral look was on his face as civilian and shinobi alike shouted "Traitor". Or "Disease of Konoha". At him it didn't surprise him to see Homura and Koharu closely watching him. The two aging advisers and former teammates of Hiruzen after hearing that Danzo once worked with Honzo the Salamander in an assassination attempt against Hiruzen.
The two wanted Danzo dead they may have not have always agreed with the Hokage but that didn't mean they didn't respect care or wanted they're oldest and dearest friend dead. When more information about Danzo's other dealings come to light it disgusted them to no end even in their advanced years, they fought with the troops during the Oto-Suna invasion their old team code. "Practice what you preach". Was something they followed Horuma and Koharu personally took a chunk out of Orochimarus invasions force saving fleeing citizens and injured shinobi. One dose not be put on a team with the God of Shinobi and be trained by the Hokage himself and end up weak.
They were here for two reason see the death of Danzo and make absolutely sure it worked they knew better then anyone that Danzo was the trickiest bastard you would ever meet and they knew most surviving Root members were still loyal to him and would try to save his life if given the chance and were going to be apart of the execution squad charged with Danzo's death. Danzo walked atop the platform with his guards and was tied to the pole from there he could see the crowds and the Konoha 11 with access to the front row.
Their hand in Naruto's death took its toll worst so when Tsunade told them it was a mistake a cloud of guilt washed over them. They avoided the Suna guests like the plague on Tsunade's orders for fear Gaara will flip and kill them. Shikamaru looked a little more depressed apparently Gaaras sister Timari didn't want to speck to him. Even then Gaara would of forbid his sister from being with anyone of Konoha regardless.
Danzo found them pathetic this is what his village had protecting it now he didn't think it would last another year with these good for nothing children at the helm. "Once you cut the root off the tree it will fall a pity". He thought to himself saddened for his beloved Konoha. Tsunade raised her hand in the air silencing the crowd with chakra enhanced vocals she spoke. "People of Konoha and of Suna we are here today to witness the death of a traitor Shimura Danzo. Danzo you have been judged by the council and Hokage of Konohagakure. As well by the honoured Kazekage of Sunagakure and have been found. Guilty on all accounts and will be executed by means of the Great element release execution". The great elements execution was created by Hiruzen Sarutobi during the great shinobi war separating in to 5 clones of himself.
They would then use Hiruzens strongest jutsu of their particular given element in sequence into the single most destructive attack, that can be done by a single shinobi in recorded jutsu history and cemented Hiruzen Sarutobi's titles as "The Professor". For his mastery of the elements and more famously. "The God of Shinobi". For being able the pull off such a move to begin with. When it comes to traitors of Danzo's skill as a shinobi it was a don't take any chances jutsu. Even if it is known as THE overkill jutsu and Tsunade thought it would be a nice middle finger to Danzo. Killing Danzo with the 3rds legendary jutsu but seeing as no one shinobi can pull of the attack it would be a 5 shinobi attack. Asuma for the wind Sasuke for fire Homura for earth Koharu for water finished of Kakashi's chidori. The most likely unneeded killing blow Hiruzen's former teammates and son jumped at the opportunity for revenge, for their father and friend Saskue because of the evidence he found of the Uchiha massacre for Danzo's former arm and eye and about Itachi's role in it. While not absolving his brother of any if at all it brought to light on a great many things about his family. It angered and saddened him greatly Danzo's death is for his brother and family. Kakashi was going to do it to regain any honour he still had left Naruto's death affected him worst of all. An another comrade he loved dead by his own hand and with lying to Iruka to cover up the truth.
Kakashi felt like he was the biggest failure of the past three Team 7's and Konoha he had failed his own teachings and hoped Naruto's spirt could forgive him. "Naruto this is for you I'm so sorry little brother". He thought sadly a silver spiked haired ANBU in a dog mask tapped his shoulder. "Stay focused now's not the time to hesitate". He advised Kakashi nodded as if getting a pep talk from his younger self. The mask was way to similar to his old ANBU one the hair didn't help either. He was hoping Danzo would survive so he could finish the bastard off. "Good earth to hold him Water to stop his breathing wind to cut and bleed him out fire to close the wounds then. Then he's all yours don't hesitate Kakashi you never have don't start now". Kakashi nodded though his heart broke regardless by that comment he'll have to find this guy later. "Who are you?". Kakashi asked eyes on Danzo. "They're ready". The Dog mask ANBU said moving to the side to watch.
The time has finally come Tsunade raised her hand to signal the execution on till "And here I thought the condemned were aloud a few last words Hokage-Sama". Danzo said with smirk Tsunades eyes widened. "HOW?". Jiraiya said in surprise and in a lot more anger only for a smiling Danzo to open his mouth and lifting his tongue to show, the nullification seal under it. It all became annoyingly clear to Jiraiya how Danzo got passed his silence seal not once but TWICE no less. Tsunade mentally cursed Danzo he got her with her own grandfathers law. She was wishing her grandpa didn't write so many merciful laws when he built Konoha the hole point of the seal was to keep that from happening.
"PEOPLE Of KONOHAGAKURE". Danzo shouted for all to hear as silence fell on the crowd. "My name is Shimura Danzo The Root Commander. The Dark Kage and shinobi of Konohagakure I am all these things and more. The one thing I am NOT however is a traitor I have served Konohagakure for decades doing what must be done but today". He couldn't help but grin at Tsunade. "I'm being punished for doing my duty as protector of the great tree but even my beloved village can make monsters. First there is ME the faithful Commander of Root then Orochimaru man made monsters the both of us. The last but not by far the least the Kyuubi-brat Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze the 4ths legacy and Son". Danzo had to laugh at the expression from the crowd.
"YOU PEAPLE HAVE BEEN TORMENTING AND NOW KILLED THE VARY CHILD OF YOUR GREATEST HERO'S MINATO NAMIKAZE AND KUISHA UZUMAKI HAHAHA". Danzo laughed insanely all sense finely leaving him. "And the best part is from stopping Gaara to making Tsunade hokage. To all the treaty's and trading agreements he has gotten for us. He has done more for this village then any of you ever have or ever well". People couldn't believe what they heard they were in absolute shock. "Because of your bigotry you never knew what was so obviously staring at you right in the face the hole time. This village has lost a fine shinobi and what could have been an even greater weapon. If you think about it you're all just as guilty as me". Danzo shouted madly smiling as he looked at them all. "It was only a matter of time before your torture and tormenting would have taken its toll on him. He wasn't the Kyuubi you morons you have been taking your revenge out on an innocent child this hole time. He saved this village when he was minutes old I want you all to remember that for the rest of your miserable lives". Danzo's hideous cackle echoed through the crowd of guilty sad and angry villagers and shinobi.
Tsunade with rage and sadness yelled at the execution squad to fire their hesitation due to shock of this revolution was all Danzo needed. "If I must die here today it will not by your order Senju". Danzo activated his suicide seal and started convalescing a smile still on his face. Knowing that civilians and shinobi alike are going to look for something or someone to blame for the Secret behind Naruto's life and now death. Tsunade won't be able to stop them it was never his intention to die like this but he'll savour it his victory. The ever so small victory with his last breaths or so he thought. As he was dying sand covered his body his dying eye widen when that last thing he heard was. "SAND COFFIN". A dying but shocked Danzo exploded in to bloody chunks. It splashed on the horrified crowd many turned to see Gaara his hand was extended in a crushing gesture with rage in his eyes. He didn't know if Danzo died before being crushed but he hoped the bastard didn't with out another word spoken, Gaara made his way to the gates Tsunade quickly made her way to the him but was stopped by his bodyguards and siblings who had their weapons drawn.
"Lord Kazekage". She yelled Gaara continued walking but said. "Forget the meeting Senju I've had enough of Konoha to last me a life time". Gaara said as he continued walking away. "Please Lord Kazekage". Tsunade said with begging in her voice. "We were tricked by Danzo I never wanted any of this to happen not to anyone and especially not to... Naruto". The name itself said out loud broke her heart. "He was like a son to me". Tears running down her cheeks. Temari couldn't help but scoff. "Some mother you are then Naruto saved my brothers life. Saved your village more times then I doubt any of you could count and this is how you replay him?". Temari said angrily her words cut like a knife on Tsunade's soul. Temari then turned to the Konoha 11 especially Shikamaru.
"I can't believe you all Naruto your friend your comrade. Someone who almost died for you more then once who would have done it gladly to know you were safe HOW!? How could you do it did any of you even protest?". Neji spoke up on be half of his friends. "We were fallowing orders given to us by the Hokage. We didn't want to do it anymore then she liked ordering but at the time. He was a major danger being controlled by the Kyuubi...or so we thought. It took a week just for us to gather the nerve to do this mission". The depression was heard loud and clear in his voice they were miserable. Gaara didn't want to hear anymore. "We are leaving I well discuss this with the Suna council until then Konohagakure is on vary thin ice. Don't come anywhere near my territory or its war understood?". Tsunade nodded not wanting to anger him any further and another reason, to thank Naruto from what she heard the old Gaara would have murdered everyone right then and there. It would be violent bloody retribution for their wilful murder of his most treasured friend and most likely second brother she told her men that rushed to her aid to stand down. Allowing Gaara to leave with Danzo's death and the truth about Naruto's heritage deeds and death. Konoha had a lot to think about all Tsunade could do is peeper for the worst that is yet to come.
Kakashi after hearing that he murdered the innocent son of his Sensai fell to his knees. He turned to find the Dog ANBU was already gone. "Kakashi". He heard his name it was a worried Asuma. "Naruto I'm so sorry". He said with a tear in his lone eye as he shook. "What have we done?". Lee said in a whisper mentally broken as he held a crying Sakura. "Kushina please forgive me". Tsume said feeling terrible Kushina was her best friend along with Mikoto Uchiha. "Temariā¦". Shikamaru said with a tear he killed one of his oldest and dearest friends. Now his girlfriend just left him alone he can't believe he was such a fool. "I need a drink". Neji said out of it walking to the bar everyone else decided to follow.
Konoha The Red Leaf a Shinobi only bar. Right after the death of Danzo.
A legendary bar in Konoha the Red Leaf was built by Hashirama and Madara themselves it was the first building and bar in Konoha. Overlooking the bar was still the pictures of the two founders it was Hashirama's own order that Madara's picture never be removed. The council and Naruto's murders with the Hokage Shizune and Sai. Ibiki and Anko joined the party for reasons unknown Tsunade bought the place out to drink their sorrows away. A private party they guessed Shikamaru's head was on the bar raising it to drink Shikaku and Asuma were next to him. Kurenai and Kiba were trying to console a crying Hinata while Hiashi watched on hiding his sadness.
Sai drank away from the crowd when Sakura and Kakashi joined him. "Can't you see I'm busy?". He said angrily getting sad looks from everyone who heard him. "I know you must be mad but can we at least explain ourselves?". Kakashi asked sadly Sai grinned. "Do you know how many times I've had to kill a comrade for Danzo Kakashi?". He asked shocking everyone. "My first real kill was my own brother he refused to fight just so I could live. It was a loyalty test like you all had to do". Sai explained tearfully. "I was already a mindless tool conditioned to suppress my emotions. It still hurts from time to time but I was made for it my very existence was to kill for Konoha". Sakura looked at him tearfully as he took a swig Shino was interested.
"I only managed to beat my programming and not kill that one eyed bastard over there because Naruto made me feel human again". Sasuke lowered his head ashamed as Sai stood up. "I was a thing you were always people and you couldn't think for yourselves. I don't know why I wasn't on the mission but I would have fought with him against you". He finished his drink and stormed out angrily. "He's right you know". Lee said drunkenly it worried Guy given Lee's pension for fighting when drunk. "Naruto was one of my rivals and a friend he never judged and was always there for us. We stabbed him in the fucking back". He threw his bottle at the wall grabbing another drink. "We still didn't find his body either maybe Orochimaru got him". Jiraiya and Tsunade were tearfully terrified at the prospect as Lee chugged his drink.
"You believe that?". Tsume asked Lee glared at her getting up. "Naruto was a devil in everyone's eyes". He grabbed Tsume violently forcing her to look at him. "Hinata Sakura Neji Myself and the one eye fucker. We were helped a protected by him no matter what and we killed him. You bastards you lowly disgusting pieces of nothing were tools making the story believable". The councillors looked down sad and ashamed of themselves. "Naruto is the kind of person Orochimaru would want to bring back. I pray he doesn't but if he does I'll beg for forgiveness while he kills me and you". He threw her to the ground and punched Choza who tried to help her then looked at Sasuke. "Tsunade wants to give you your own team I'll join it. I don't care anymore my flame is dead". He stumbled out of the bar leaving everyone heartbroken.
"You fucker". A drunken Sasuke turned and got blind sided but Konohamaru shocking everyone as they say the rage fouled glared in his teary eyes. "You traitorous piece of Uchiha shit". He kicked Sasuke's face as he pulled a kunai but was grabbed by Udon and Mogie as he struggled. "Let me go". Konohamaru shouted throwing his friends off then was stopped by Tsunade. "Konohamaru that's enough". She ordered he glared tearfully. "Why? Why are you defending this traitor?". He shouted Tsunade let him go looking down sadly he glared at her. "Is it because you're one to this fucker killed my brother and you all helped him". He accused angrily then stared at Sasuke. "Everyone still wants to suck you off Sasuke fine but I'm not going to join them. One day you bastard I'll kill you I don't care if Tsunade dies on the street but I will be Hokage and when I do. I'll have you executed as a traitor". Konohamaru spat on him then glared at Tsunade.
"Inari's people were here they're pissed obviously". He informed everyone was worried. "Did you try to stop them?". Inoichi asked Konohamaru grabbed a bottle and threw it at him. "Your whore daughter helped murdered one of our own the 4ths son at that and you're worried about shopping fuck you". He scolded angrily shutting him up. "They said I'm still allowed in everyone else can fuck off. Inari will probably stop trade to Konoha. So thanks you bastards a future Hokage the son of the forth and a powerful financial ally and possibly a powerful militarized one are gone". Konohamaru shouted turning around to leave. "Naruto should have killed or left you Sasuke. I guess this is what happeneds when you pick loyalty over common sense". He opened the door and left with his team Sasuke looked around everyone just stared and returned to their drinks. He got up he wasn't angry or offended he just did the same.
Sunagakure Gaara's office.
When Gaara returned to his village he remained calm and cool as his people cheered there Kazekage's safe return. When he got to his office however Gaara went to a liquor cabinet that was behind a secret door behind a book shelf. The 1st Kazekage had installed it Gaara's predecessor was a smart man a businessman and unwavering when it came his people but even he liked the occasional drink. Gaara wasn't much for the stuff but he had another reasons for the cabinet there was a specific bottle he was looking for when he found it he took in out and brought it to his desk. He sat there looking at it for a few minutes on till his door opened and his brother Kankuro walked in and with a serious look. "Kazekage-Sama we need to talk". He said with no room to negotiate so Gaara nodded with out taking his eyes of the bottle. It was rare his older brother used his official title he only ever said it on business to other village's or in vary serious matters.
"What is it Konkaro?". He asked Konkaro sat down he didn't look like he wanted to bring it up. "It's about want happened in Konoha". Gaara's eyes narrowed "I see" He replied as Konkaro finally noticed the bottle his brother was staring at "What is it?". He asked making Gaara sigh. "This it is wind county spiced wine it's made with scorch grapes by wind temple monks its worth a small fortune". He explained Konkaro eyed the bottle then him. "Are you going to drink it?".
"No".
"Then why is it out?".
"This bottle was supposed to be a gift for Naruto".
"Naruto?".
"For when he became Hokage I was going to bring it to him and have a celebrity drink as you know I vary rarely drink. So this bottle was for that vary special occasion now it well just be a reminder of a dream that will never become reality". Kankuro looked down sadly his brothers voice remained the some but he know the underlaying message. "Gaara I'm sorry Naruto was a good man and friend and I wish I wasn't the one to say this but we have to remain allies with Konoha". Gaara shot up from his chair glaring angrily at him. "THOSE BASTARD'S BETRAYED AND MURDERED NARUTO WHY MUST I LET THAT GO UNPUNISHED?". Gaara screamed at Kankuro who remained calm but was sympathetic.
"Because you're the Kazekage of Sunagakure now Gaara this is a political job as much as it is a military one. When we attacked Konoha 3 years ago we lost far to many ninja. Konoha was welling to sign another alliance with us and we need their military backing. As well as some of their resources to survive for now we can't let a personal vendetta get in the way of that you know this Gaara. Naruto is gone but in the end he was one ninja in the grand scheme of things". Konkaro said feeling like a bastard with each passing word. "He's not worth losing our village over it was a mistake yes but they were manipulated by Danzo who's dead now. Just like we were once manipulated by Orochimaru you have to understand that". Gaara was still angry. "Don't you dare think for a moment that I don't realize this brother. I've gone over the numbers if we don't remain allies it could escalate it to a war. They're afraid of more enemies but what can I do just to letting something like this slide will make us look weak. Naruto was Konoha sure but he was also my best friend. His death marks all Jinchuuriki as targets the Mizukage and myself back then made us look like monsters now people will want to know how to kill us for good. I'm still Jinchuuriki former or not if I don't do anything my kind are in jeopardy Konkaro enemy or not I can't allow it". Gaara said unsure but Kankuro looked at his little brother and leader that he'd follow in to hell with out being asked with sympathy.
"Konoha is going to want to resign another alliance with us out of desperation and to assurance that the old one won't be broken. That gives us the window of opportunity to make some better demands of them yet supply the same things we already brought to the table in return. It will take awhile for them to realize this so we have time to get our facts straight tell then we can have a none hostility-agreement with them". He started getting Gaara's full attention. "Also during Naruto's funereal I got to talking with Lady Shion. She sent me a letter informing me Tezuna of wave is looking to sign a trade deal with a different village she recommended Suna. Same with Spring we'll need Konoha's military but less help personally staying alive. We can also hold their biggest clients over their heads they lost power over us and they know it". To say Gaara was surprised at Konkaro diplomacy was an understatement.
"My spy's also told me the War in Kiri is pretty much over since Kisame rejoined to. If we extend an olive branch from Suna using Wave that's another powerful ally for us. It will make Konoha desperate enough that we'll have control over them". Gaara though about it if the new Mizukage is smart that could work. "So we do this before the Konoha alliance reevaluation we can basically get them to do anything". Konkaro finished Gaara was impressed. "Still a Jinchuuriki working with former Akasuki is a gamble isn't it?". Gaara asked Konkaro shrugged. "He doesn't need to be there but it shows Jinchuuriki are will to make sacrifices for the betterment of their people. Kisame sold out the Akasuki leader after all. It's not like it's Deidara and Sasori and besides we're Shinobi working with our enemies happens all the time. I mean you crippled that Lee guy and he still worked with you against Oto". He pointed out Gaara nodded at that. "How do you know all this?". Konkaro gave Gaara a sad smile. "When father was trying to make you in to a weapon he trained Timari and I in diplomacy and negotiations. We've had teachers just for that as long as I can remember I believe we were supposed to hold your leach when he died. Guess he planned for one of us to be the next Kazekage. Still all things considered Gaara I'm happy it's you, you deserve this more then anyone and we well always have your back. Besides dad was an asshole I'll thank Orochimaru before we kill him for getting rid of the bastard". Gaara smiled at his brother but then needed to ask something more important then Konoha.
"How's Timari holding up?". Konkaro frowned. "She's not happy with obviously Konoha. Especially Shikamaru she thought he was smarter then this but she's worried about you more". Gaara nodded sadly. "I'll see her after I finish some paperwork it well distract me for the time being from current events". Kankuro looked at him annoyed. "No you to need each other right now go I'll cover for you". Gaara grinned at Konkaro. "Is that an order to your Kazekage?". He asked Konoha nodded grinning back. "If it needs to be it's an order from your big brother". Gaara thought about it. "Vary well think you can handle it it's not known as the Kage madness for nothing?". Konkaro shrugged to this. "I'll be fine". Gaara nodded in thanks then walked to the door. "Suit yourself". As Gaara walked out Kankuro waited for the door to close and give it another minute before he smirked and summoned clones of himself that got to work while he went to take a nap.
Temari's training ground.
It was a field of destruction training dummies were blasted to pieces and Temari was panting she took one huge swipe at the remaining dummies shooting a blast of air destroying them. "Impressive as always". She heard and turned to see Gaara she sighed and sat down Gaara joined her. "What's up?". She asked sweating. "Can't I just see how my sister is doing?". Gaara asked she shrugged. "I'm as good as I can be I guess you?". Gaara shrugged. "Konkaro decided to kick me out of my office. Said we should talk". Gaara explained Temari nodded sadly. "The man I love helped murder my brothers best friend hell my third brother. Naruto is gone because of his stupidity". Gaara frowned nodding. "Still you love him". Gaara said she couldn't muster a glare. "I do but fuck murdering someone like Naruto a guy so loyal and kind to everyone. The guy who charged you from a monster to a great Kage. Because of bigotry and suspicion I can't trust him I thought he was smarter then that". She said angrily Gaara looked at her sadly. "I'm not a fan either but maybe you should talk to him". Gaara suggested surprising her. "You're my sister Temari I won't be inviting him over for drinks but I'm not going to control your life either. Shikamaru lost my respect but that doesn't matter if you love him. The news of who Naruto is and his innocence must be torturing him like everyone else". Gaara said softly Temari thought about it then shook her head.
"He reminds me of dad now you know". She said getting his attention more. "When you were born I remember him holding you in tears. After mom died he was just so happy you didn't he loved you so much". Gaara was surprised Temari then got angrier. "Then when it came time to make you a Jinchuuriki he did a complete 180. He refused to even look at you deliberately made your seal weak made you go crazy with the constant attacks. I laid awake at night watching you stare off in to space because you couldn't sleep". Gaara was thinking about back then his old self. "I was angry so I demanded an explanation he looked me dead in the eye and said you were a threat now. A monster who most know it's place I changed you washed you feed you. When he wanted his new born baby boy to starve and be dirty then was terrified of you the more you grew. Seeing what that bastard turned you into". She explained ashamed of herself.
"I fell in to the same pit Shikamaru did except I was always by your side. Dad thought you were getting to evil butchering our own people for fun. He wanted to trap you in his gold dust then find a different vessel. Konkaro and I threatened to kill him that night". Gaara was shocked to hear that as Temari glared at nothing. "We knew we couldn't take him but the threat from his own kids was enough to make him pause. You were a living representation of death to us and proved it more then once". Temari was ashamed. "Naruto was even close to that and both of you were still the same in Konoha's eyes. Still you were my brother first above all else the same cute little baby boy I use to rack to sleep at night and who Konkaro would do puppet shows for". Gaara had a tear in his eye he forgot about all of that. "Shikamaru was smarter then us he knew what Naruto was before the rest of us did probably even knew about Naruto's parents. I'm sure of it we saw you laughing as you killed people and loved you anyway hoping one day you'd change. He didn't do anything but do as told and Naruto was no where near the monster of Suna". She looked at Gaara tearfully.
"How many times did Naruto save Konoha how many nations owed him there lives. Even fighting Akasuki to bring you back to us and still Shikamaru joined in to kill him because of hear say. Under a bullshit bigoted reason like Naruto could be a monster I want nothing to do with that". She said crying now Gaara held her. "It hurts Gaara it really does but I can't tell that man I love him anymore. I don't want him to hurt you like he did Naruto I don't trust him. It will take time but I don't want to see him again". Gaara hugged her tightly letting her get it all out as a tear fell from his eye. "No matter what Temari whether you never want to see him again or one day do I'll always have your back". They stayed like that pretty much the rest of the day thinking about their old now dead friend.
Tsunade's office a month after the revelation.
Tsunade was busy in her office when she got an unexpected visit from Sai of all people after Danzo's death. His Root agents were captured with the help of Sai some were even welcomed in to ANBU. "Sai how can I help you?". Tsunade asked Sai still not really able to talk with emotion got straightforward the point. "Hokage-Sama I'm here to ask you to bring back the Root ANBU division with only the remaining former members". Tsunade was surprised. "WHAT? Why on earth would I do that?". She asked with a little angry at the idea. "Hokage-Sama many of the Root members have served the division since before 3rd-sama's decree to disband it and continued afterwards. Others like myself were born in Root this is all we know. The regular ANBU dose not work the way we are accustomed too and we still have Danzo's words echoing in the back of our minds. To defend the great tree or die trying that is Root all it's all we have and all we ever and will be". Sai said calmly trying to convince her. "Sai if Danzo still has control over you and the other Root. Then how can I trust you to be any different then him?". She asked Sai gave her a serious look. "Danzo was mad with power Hokage-Sama but his message was true to form. Defeat the enemy and defend the great tree. We would report to the Hokage and the Hokage alone till the last of us is gone no new members just the remaining Root shinobi. Though Shino is interested". She raised an eyebrow at him.
"Why is Shino interested?". Sai got an angry look surprising her. "Because he's still upset about Naruto as am I he wants Root reprogramming. The Aburame are a pillar of Root as well so he is hoping to remain useful while fighting his demons. I will not allow reprogramming I am not Danzo and he is to old regardless if he wants to be a tool let him but I'm against it". He said Tsunade looked at him sadly at his mournful expression. "Naruto helped me find my humanity made me apart of a team now all I have is the mission to defend Konoha again". He said sadly Tsunade never understood why Danzo didn't want Sai on the mission now she may have figured it out.
"ANBU already is in charge of defence why does Root not like it?". She asked Sai was annoyed. "ANBU will never trust Root in they're eyes we are but lucky traitors like the Uchiha". His head lowered at that but he continued. "And in Roots eyes ANBU is to soft and slow to act at least in Root we know where we stand with one another. I was voted to lead Root I don't care about the Dark Kage tittle or your thoughts on Shino joining. If you want any and all activity being watch fine". Tsunade huffed. "I'll give the matter some thought and give you my sincere answer by the end of the week". Sai bowed to her. "That's all we ask Hokage-Sama". She nodded and let him leave she had a lot to think about. "Sai as the Dark Kage Shino wanting joining out of guilt. Fuck why did I listen to that bastard". She reached in to her desk and pulled at a photo it was his old team 7 picture she took from Naruto's own apartment. "Everyone misses you Naruto I am so sorry". She said with a tear going down her eye.
Ichiraku Raman.
Iruka was walking down the street sadly it's been almost three years since Naruto's death during Danzo's execution he decided instead of watching. He would take the entire Genin academy and staff out to the far end of Konoha for camping and outdoor training. The kids were far to young to see Danzo's executed the staff agreed and wanted to join. It was fun but barely helped him get over Naruto. As he approached the stand a man came flying out rolling backwards on the ground in to a pole shocking Iruka is face was bloody and broken.
"And stay the fuck out you bigoted bastard". Teuchi shouted angrily then noticed Iruka and looked at him sadly. "Teuchi-San what happened?". Iruka asked worried Teuchi wanted to tell him but figured it was better to feed him first. "Come in". Teuchi invited Iruka did as told. "Iruka-Kun". Ayame greeted with no pep she was absolutely miserable it worried him. "Hello Ayame-San one Chashu ramen please". Iruka ordered Ayame looked at her father who shook his head and started cooking. The normally chatty trio was quiet Iruka used to come in every few days now it's barely every now and then. Since their missing forth and most beloved members death they just felt terrible. "So how did it go?". Iruka asked they knew what he was talking about. "Eat first please". Teuchi asked Ayame nodded sadly Iruka was worried but ate. Everytime he came here nostalgia took over he also saw the ghost of the boy sitting next to him smiling at him. He never forgave himself for drawing a Kunai on him as a child even if Naruto did and Iruka did make up for it after saving him from Mizuki. Still it hurt him. "Iruka?". Ayame said with concern get his attention he smiled softly and continued eating silently. "It's really good thank you". He complemented they knew he was sick of ramen but ate it for Naruto it hurt them every time they saw him.
When he finished he was only getting more worried at their looks. "Gaara killed Danzo". Teuchi started surprising Iruka. "Before that Danzo said somethings horrible but truthful things. I could tell everything was true". He said sadly holding back his tears Iruka was unsure what happened so Ayame explained everything. "Naruto-Kun was the son of the 4th Hokage and Kushina Uzumaki". Iruka nodded. "I figured that much out I felt stupid for not seeing it before". Iruka explained then realized now everyone knew this that surprised him no wonder everyone looked so depressed. "That's not all. Konoha killed him". Teuchi informed Iruka was confused. "Konohamaru found out it was the members of the Konoha eleven Kakashi and Jiraiya himself took part in the murder". Iruka's eyes widened in shock. "Sasuke delivered the killing blow". Ayame said crying Iruka's head was low tears went down his face. "We're getting out of Konoha Inari-San is allowing us to move to Wave. I'm sorry Iruka-San". Teuchi said sadly Iruka was still silent his shacking hands clenched in to and angry fists. "I wish you two luck thank you for letting me know". He put some money down and walked out. "Should we stop him?". Ayame asked Teuchi shook his head. "I'd do the same thing". He assured closing up shop and getting ready to go. "Iruka-Sensai". Konohamaru greeted sadly he stopped for a moment. "Whatever you three do don't get involved". He ordered they saw the angrier in his eyes it worried them. "I'd rather back you but fine". Konohamaru returned as the watch him leave.
The streets.
An angry Iruka was making his way to the Hokage tower everyone got out of his way at the sheer rage coming off of him. "Iruka". He heard as ANBU appeared in front of him Iruka's pace quickened he recognized the masks as some of Naruto's former "protectors". "Iruka?". The ANBU said again as he charged at them yelling angrily scaring them as he attacked. Iruka punched the first ANBU exploding his mask shocked everyone he spun around kicking another shooting him in to a wall. "Get him". The captain ordered as Iruka grabbed his arm braking it slamming his head in to the ground and jumped over another and kicked the centre of is back and stomped on his head. "Come on you bastards do I look like a six year old to you?". He shouted shocking and shaming the masses and ANBU as he changed in to another fight. "Iruka we can explain". One shouted terrified and Iruka punched him in the stomach throw his mask away he head butted him.
"Come here you fuckers". He shouted grabbing a kick aimed for him and dislocated it. "Five of you bastards that's it? Come where are the gangs the mobs where are you so call superiors? I'll take you all down". He shouted challenging scaring people as he continued run a civilian man Iruka recognize as a Naruto attack stood watching looking ashamed Iruka gave him a hard right shattering his jaw on the way. "Come on I'm fucking ready". She shouted still running to the tower more ANBU came to the tower defence he knew some of them were Naruto's killers and stopped. "Take of those fucking masks". He ordered dangerously Konohamaru Udon and Moegi were watching on a roof Konohamaru grinned. "Well?". Iruka shouted making the platoon flinch. Neji Shikamaru Kakashi Sasuke and Lee removed there masks he saw the regret and sadness in their eyes he grinned. "Iruka please stop". Kakashi said weakly Iruka smiled dangerously at them. "You killed my son you piece of trash. I want to see you bastards cry". Iruka charged at them. Everyone but Kakashi and Sasuke moved they just stood there as Iruka's fist connected with Kakashi's face it broke his nose knocking out. "Do it". Sasuke said getting a punch knocking him down Iruka got on top Iruka blasted Sasuke's face with punch's Neji and Shikamaru tried to grab him. "Stop Iruka-Sensai". Shikamaru pleaded Iruka stood up head butting Shikamaru and upper cutting Neji pulling him in for a knee.
Neji hit the ground as Iruka continued fighting Tsunade watched from the Hokage's office frowning sadly. "That can't be everything is it". Iruka shouted dodging a punch braking the arm and jaw of the offender. Lee just continued watching in a tired daze he casually walked towards a fighter Iruka. Iruka had three ANBU holding him Shikamaru got up. "Shadows possession Justus". He said threw the head ack Iruka heard him arching back forward the ANBU went with him them off of him. Kicking the guy on his right off he punched the third one off. He the grabbed the third guy and threw him at Shikamaru knocking him down. "Iruka". Lee said getting his attention Lee bowed stopping the fight. "I won't insult you with an apologize instead I'll escort you to the Hokage". Lee offered getting a hard punch from Iruka in return. "I don't need you. You bastard I don't need any of you hypocrites and comrade killers around". Everyone flinched in shame. "I taught must of you fuckers that Konoha looks out for his own. Even those of you in this before my teaching career know that". Everyone nodded in sad understanding. "But you were never there for Naruto he was always there for you no matter who you honour less parasites were". Civilian and Shinobi were broken hearted those who were happy Naruto was dead were smart enough to stay quiet. "I should kill you Lee you and the disgusting fuckers responsible". Iruka spat on Lee who looked down sadly. "I'm done with Konoha fuck all of you". He kicked Lee in the face continuing on his way more ANBU appeared on the roof. "Everyone stop". Sasuke shouted getting their attention. "Just let him go". He ordered bloody faced and broken nosed everyone backed down lowering their heads sadly. "Sir he could attack the Hokage". ANBU protested. "He won't if he didn't kill us he won't attack her". He assured still on the ground. "Even if all of us have it coming especially me". He added ashamed of himself watching him go.
Tsunade's office.
Tsunade sat down she hadn't drank on duty for two and half years. As she was getting reacquainted with her old friend of alcoholism Iruka kicked her door clean of the wall. "I accept your resignation". She said drunkly at his glaring look he wanted to punch her and she wanted him to do it. "You dirty drunken bitch". He said in anger she looked at him her head nearly dropping. "Yes?". She asked accepting the name Iruka ripped off his headband throwing it at her the steal binged of her head. "Fuck you fuck Konoha and fuck everything your ancestors stood for. You're a complete disgrace to everything my son stood for". Iruka shouted Shizune was behind him frowning sadly as Tsunade ignored the throbbing pain in her head. The humble teacher was a hard hitting. "Go anywhere you want Iruka I'm not putting you in the bingo book". She said drunk and said Iruka nodded push Shizune out of his way walking out.
The Uchiha compound.
Sasuke was on his way home he needed medical attention he was hoping for Sakura but she refused to see him. As he sighed he walked to his door when he slid it open the front door exploded launching him backwards. Explosions followed down the hallway taking his study then bed chambers kitchen everything. Sasuke watch it all the last of his families legacy go up in smoke his shock turned to sadness. "Sasuke-Sama". ANBU appeared worried as he continued watching. "It must have been the Kyuubi's bastard friend". He said angrily Sasuke got up and punched him down. "Naruto you fuck Naruto was his fucking name". He shouted angrily shocking them as he turned and watched the fire and sighed. "I'm going to find a hotel let it go". He ordered walking off leaving the last bit of his family behind.
The village gates.
Teuchi and Ayame saw the explosion in shock as Iruka joined them. "I'll escort you two to Wave then be on my way". Iruka said depressed. "Why not stay with us Inari-Kun would gladly take you in?". Ayame asked Iruka shook his head. "My guess is that bastard Sasuke's fans will be out for blood even if he doesn't. I'd rather not put the little bit of family I have left in harms way". He explained they hugged him crying before leaving with him.
