Thrill Seeker Chapter 21 Uchiha Incident, a naruto fanfic

Chapter 21 Uchiha Incident.

Konoha hospital was bustling with activity. Shinobis involved in the "Uchiha Incident," gathered in the halls of the building awaiting treatment. While they weren't severely injured, they did receive damage from the chains that bind them, and the fight from the Hokage and Uzumaki fight.

Those severely injured got rushed off to operation rooms for treatment. Among them, the Haruno family, the remaining Uchiha, and the last Uzumaki. The anbus present weren't too injured as charka exhausted. Only Kakashi was injured, his partner not taking part in the physical fighting.

The incident took place on the outskirts of the village; only curious civilians witness the chaos of the hospital.

Aside from seeing the barrier appear at the edge of the Uchiha district and seeing medical ninjas rushing to the area, they got left in the dark.

"There was a fight at the Uchiha district, and a lot of od people were hurt," was the rumor circulating. While not far from the truth, it didn't even begin to describe what happened that tragic night.

Itachi sat at his brother's bedside, lost in thought. Sasuke wasn't injured, just chakra exhausted from overusing his Mangekyo. His brother had awakened his Mangekyo. Itachi sighed, feeling a decade older than his actual age.

He tried to organize his thoughts; it had been a long night. His family was gone, the confirmation shook his core, but he held the tears back. He needed to think not to cry about something that could not be changed. His father's teaching won over his emotional vulnerability.

He as an Uchiha through and through.

An Uzumaki massacred his clan as a ploy to destroy the village. They wanted to release the nine tails and get rid of anyone that might have been able to stop it. He chuckled darkly. It was for their ability to control the nine tail that they were isolated. To think someone thought they would save the village with their feared power.

Madara Uchiha, the former leader of the Uchiha clan, and the first leaf village, "Rogue ninja." To think someone would claim his identity and an Uchiha at that. The imposter was strong but nowhere near the strength of the co-founder. Itachi had thought him untouchable as all his attacks had phased through him. He had feared there was no beating him until Sakura injured him somehow.

Sakura…

His mind wandered to the night Sakura revealed her extensive knowledge and asked his father to teach her a jutsu. He never found out what she asked as he shooed him out of the room then. The next day his father had taken her outside of the village in secret.

He thought he now knew what she had learned from him.

Summoning jutsu.

A space-time jutsu that allows the user to transport a target to their location. After forming a contract with an animal, they will then be able to summon them from anywhere. Using their blood as in place of a contract scroll, one needs only the proper amount of chakra to bring an alley to the battlefield.

It wasn't a very complicated jutsu to master – as he had done so quite easily – but it was a game of chance with the summons. If they wished it, they can refuse the summons and have someone else take their place. That becomes a problem when you need that summons for the specific task.

The warrior cat Nekomata was a beast that fought in the shinobi wars long before the forming of the village. Most of the powerful summons are old and fought in many battles, making them valuable and thus harder to summon.

Sakura couldn't have had that much chakra left. And yet. She not only summoned an ancient beast but also shattered the barrier in a single punch. She really was amazing.

The blooded image of her bleeding out in Guy's arm made him cringe. Was he really going to lose everything in a single night?

He looked to his sleeping brother, and the dams broke tears rushed down his face as he sobbed.

"I'm sorry, Sasuke," he said, clutching his chest. "I'm so sorry."

He swore he would protect his brother, and yet he couldn't even save the one closes to him.

Outside the room, Kakashi took his back to the door, and his head hung low. His hand shook not from the pain, but the memories.

He failed his mission and also failed to protect his comrades.

The evening was a mess of events.

Had he not suspect sakura of being a changeling, he wouldn't have been there to save Itachi. Sakura wouldn't have gotten hurt sure, but Itachi likely would have died if not for her. She also broke the barrier and allowed for reinforcements to arrive.

She might not survive the surgery; she must have taken into account the rest of her life. Why did she break the barrier instead of healing her wound? As a matter of fact, she attacked the masked man when she revealed naruto's true nature. As if she already knew and didn't want him to.

Kakashi's eye grew wide. Questions floated his mind at the possibilities.

After the nine tail fox incident a rule was created. No one was to tell Naruto he was the nine tail fox Jinchuriki. While they could discuss this among themselves, they had to do so far way from naruto's ear. As such, they could not tell their children; as children than to say things without thought. Children wouldn't know the importance of keeping this fact a secret and might tell Naruto outright. So the parent decided only to warn their children away.

Reports of sakura's interaction with Naruto played through his mind. Was it that her parents didn't warn her way? The reports say they were easygoing, but that would be a bit too lax. There was also the report from the anbus that fought Mrs. Haruno. She wasn't as weak as they painted her to be, using scrolls to summon enough water to flood a street. Their fight with Mr. Haruno wasn't much better, the man being a heavy hitter with unbreakable defense.

They fought in the war, so their strength shouldn't surprise him. Looking down at his bandaged hands, he couldn't shake the thought.

That wasn't their full strength.

Healing Resuscitation regeneration technique; a medical ninjutsu used to heal severe, life-threatening injuries. This surgery requires an entire intensive care unit, along with a staff of medics with refined chakra control.

Intensive care unit 7 was cleared for this purpose, Sakura Haruno was placed at the center of the floor. A large, complicated seal was drawn around her, focused around the hold in her chest. From the hole in her chest, blood flowed forth and served as a medium for the procedure.

The seal formed a square in which the medical-nin take positions at its corners. Working together, they changed her blood's cellular makeup into what the cells they required to mend the wound. It is in making these new cells that the challenge of the surgery lies. Medics must be careful to form the correct cells and apply them to the regenerating injury.

The medic sat in deep concentration as they mended her spinal core and its functions. They all agreed it was the most important to repair and would also take the longest. The window of time before the damage became permanent was small.

They needed to mend the nervous system immediately.

While Sakuras lungs sustained damage, she was still able to breathe, and so they trust that she would be able to survive until they could mend her lungs.

Survival seemed to be one of her specialties

It was still a mystery as to how this child survived a wound like that. The attack missed her heart by an inch, sure, but she lost a lot of blood and had her spine and lungs ran through. Logically there was no way she got up and destroyed a barrier that even the Hokage couldn't.

And yet, according to the reports, that's what she did.

Kito's dark eyes narrowed on the up and coming shinobi. He could fell her chakra dancing around their as though showing them how to fix her. He smiled through the strain, amused by their predicament.

The Hokage wanted the girl alive, and it didn't take a genius to know why. She was friends with the nine tails brat. If she died, all hell would break loose in the village. It also did when he thought her dead the first time, should she actually die, there would be a giant fox with nine destructive tails in the village, again.

He wasn't so young that he didn't remember the chaos and deaths it caused. That was the reason he wanted to be a medic in the first place. It was the reason a lot of his comrades joined the medical team.

He wanted to save lives, not take it.

He gritted his teeth, his chakra running low. He would soon need to switch with someone if he didn't want to faint from chakra exhaustion.

Yet another downside to this technique. There needed a shift system as it often took a considerable amount of time to complete. Four medics alone could not mend a wound this dire. There needed to be at least eight, but there was ten present.

It never hurt to have back-ups.

"I'm at my limit," he warned his replacement Mogusa. "Switch with me."

"Right," Mogusa offered no complaints as he took Rita's place in the technique. Rita stood behind Mogusa as his replacement and focused on recovering his chakra.

As he watched his comrades finally mend the spine and move unto the lungs, he knew it was going to be a long night.

A deafening silence fell upon the council room at the end of the report. The noble and shinobi clans were summoned to a meeting concerning the massacre of the Uchiha dubbed the Uchiha Incident.

News of the Uchiha clan's demise could not be contained, as a noble clan and a founder of the village. Their absence won't go unnoticed. Likewise, most, if not all, the villagers saw the dome of light. Gossip would flood the streets before sunrise.

All the council could do was handle how the public found out. No one wanted another leak like with Naruto. And so the Hokage summoned the clans immediately after ensuring the injured shinobi received treatment.

Disbelief was a shared response to the retelling of the event that transpired that night. Suddenly the empty chair usually occupied by the Uchiha head had more weight.

"I was under the impression Naruto was the only Uzumaki in the village," Inochi said, breaking the silence. The blond with a

"She isn't a citizen," Danzo explained. "Rather, a visitor that worked at an okiya called Sweet pleasure."

"Even better," Shikaku said. "Not only did we have a psycho walking among us but working with our facilities as well. She had means to kill numerous shinobis; we don't go to places like that expecting a fight."

Shikaku Nara – head of the Nara clan – like most Nara, he had jet black hair tied in a ponytail, his eyes dark and uninterested. He had two scars on the right side of his face – his most notable feature; if you don't count his alcoholism.

Inoichi coughed, drawing attention back to himself. The Yamanaka looked flushed, his light green eyes avoiding contact.

His ash-blond hair reached his lower back, spiky on top and ending in a ponytail.

"I'm sure Shikaku doesn't mean "He" goes to pleasure houses," he said, looking over to his friend as though he were mad. "That would mean cheating on Yoshino, and we both know what that would mean."

His implication was clear. As head of the Analysis Team in the Intelligence Division, he knew things.

"What a drag," Shikaku mutters, looking away. "It a regular bar downstairs, you know."

"Not the point," Inoicho hissed.

"I've heard the name Sakura before," Chozo said, coming to the rescue as always. "Isn't she an academy student? Yeah, she's in the same class as my son."

Choza Akamichi – also the head of his clan – was a tall, plump man with brown hair that was usually under a spiky red wig, was on full display. His cheeked had purple markings on his cheek – a common trait in the Akamichi clan.

"She joined the academy at the same time Ino did," Inoichi said, groaning at the memory. "My daughter couldn't stop complaining about her."

"Choji thought she was nice enough," Chozo stated.

"She put the fear of women into Shikamaru," Shikaku groaned, "I need to buy her drink."

Ino-Shika-Cho, a deadly combination of the Yamanaka, Nara, and Akamichi clans, the piercing they all wore a sign of their friendship. Alone they were formidable together unstoppable, making an enemy of one was making an enemy of the others.

"She posed as a child to get access to your children!" Danzo exclaimed, surprising everyone.

"I thought we were over this?" Tsume said. The Inuzuka representative was a she-wolf in nature, much like her clanmates. The Inuzaka clan was known for their use of ninken (ninja dogs) as fighting companions and easily identified by the distinctive red fangs on their cheeks.

Her long, spikey brown hair was untamed; her vertical slit-like pupils held irritation. Tsume wasn't known for her patience; her painted lips pulled back in a snarl that revealed her fangs.

"The report said the brat was on was present alongside the Uzumaki, and she also nearly died. I don't know about you, but I can't maintain a shadow clone while dying." She snarled. She had better things to do than sit down and listen to people feeding her bullshit.

"If not the same person, then she is an accomplice," Danzo tried again. He never expected that convincing them would take this long.

Could it be…

"She must be pretty disposable if they stood by and watched her bleed out," Hiashi muttered in a rare show of annoyance. Sakura was fighting for her life, and here they were trying to incriminate her, disgusting. If they thought for a second, he would allow them to make her a scapegoat. Then they didn't know him at all. He failed to protect his brother, and Neji lost his father.

Things would be different this time.

"She wouldn't even be there if your guys didn't take her there," Tsume said, rolling her eyes. "They were on their way home when they noticed your men, right?"

"She sighed in disappointment. And they call themselves ninjas." She muttered.

I vein burst in Danzo's head as he glared at the woman. Had it been anywhere else, he might have shown her just what his anbu could do.

"The reports state that the Uzumaki claimed to act out of vengeance for her clan," Shikaku said, defusing the boom before it blew. "That would mean she was around when Uzushiogakure fell. She blames the village for not protecting them when they needed them most. The attack on the Uchiha clan was to illuminate any obstacles in her way."

"She intended to release the nine tail fox upon the village again, and the Uchiha were the only ones capable of taming the beast, hence her need to kill them."

"But what's the point of destroying their eyes after their death?" Tsume asked.

"So we don't get another copy ninja," Hiashi stated.

Everyone looked at the noblemen, and he continued.

"The technique used to seal the Sharingan is very similar to the seal of our clan; however, this one seemed designed to destroy the eyes only." He recalled the seals he saw on the scattered bodies. "It's not impossible to implant the Sharingan of a decease." The thought alone angered him. It was the fight to obtain the Byakugan that killed his brother, and now an entire clan was destroyed to destroy that temptation.

"Sasuke must be traumatized," Choza said softly. "To lose your entire clan and see your friend on the verge of death. I don't know what I would do if I lost you guys." Inochi and Shikaku shifted in their seats. Choza was a ball of candy that could rot your teeth in a single taste.

"Huh? What about Itachi? Tsume asked incredulously. Her daughter was in the same class as Itachi once, though she didn't graduate with him. He might have been a prodigy, but he was still a child.

"Itachi is a strong shinobi no doubt he will be able to recover from this in no time," Danzo said proudly.

"That's not something to be proud of," Tsume scolded him, earning a glare. "Prodigy or not, no one witnesses the death of a loved one without blinking. And he lost his entire clan."

The third Hokage, who has been silent until now, lit his pipe and blew smoke into the room.

"The first Hokage, my mentor, wanted a world where children did not fight and die in senseless wars," he said. "That was his reason for forming the leaf village. To create a place where children could be children."

Everyone watched the old man as he weary eyes closed in a sigh, "Perhaps we had forgotten this truth in the face of the wars."

Danzo's eye narrowed as he looked as his oldest friend with suspicion. He knew Hiruzen was going to do something stupid, even before he spoke the damning words.

"This night had brought about a great travesty," Hiruzen sighed, "it will no doubt hunt this village for years to come. But in this disaster, we have found our roots. It's time we carry out the First Hokage's dream.
