In a poorly lighted room, 5 people were seated. One of them was 12 years old looking boy, he stood up and looked at the others in the eyes and he knit his straight eyebrows. He was thinking on how to tell the others with care while the others were waiting patiently.
"I beat up Itachi and kidnapped him." said the Hitomi with looking straight to the man with black hair and eyes. The man's eyes turned blazing red and stood up. Hitomi though wasn't scared and said lazily.
"Sit down now. Tonight every problem is going to be solved or I will go away somewhere you will never find me and Itachi will die. You will never find his body." He thought a lot about what he should do about the Uchiha Massacre. This was the best solution he could think of. Itachi was important for both Uchiha's and Village. This would make them hear me.
He went to meet the Third Hokage and asked him to hold a meeting with the Fourth Hokage and strong Ninja he could trust. After that, Hitomi went to find Sasuna and gave her folded piece of paper and told her to bring it to her father without opening it. When paper unfolded, the seal inside it sent a warning to Hitomi who then teleported to seal and then quickly teleported to the room with Sasuna'a father where the other three people waiting. Everybody was dumbfounded at the sight as he just used the Flying Thunder God Technique, the special Jutsu of Fourth Hokage Minato. They all looked at the blond man sitting in the room. Then Hitomi started the meeting.
"I have very important things to discuss with all four of you. You may think, 'What important thing 9 years old could share.', but this is for the sake of the village and for Uchiha Clan, so listen to me carefully." said the Hitomi while checking the 4 men. They were Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, Current Uchiha Leader Fugaku Uchiha and the man invited by The Third, Jiraiya. The boy didn't know a man called Jiraiya, but his inner voice said (Crow) said he is a good guy.
Back to the present.
Fugaku Uchiha sit down again and looked at me with an intimidating look. I didn't mind his look and asked: "Do you know why I beat up Itachi?" He didn't reply, he didn't know and wasn't in the mood for guessing.
"Because he wanted to massacre Uchiha Clan." I said with lazy eyes. Like what I was talking about wasn't important at all. Third's veins started to show up on his forehead like he guessed what is going on. Third and Fugaku looked at each other and ready to take action any second.
"Sit down and listen all story or this will be full sized internal war and I don't give the slightest sh*t if you go war. I will do my best tonight and rest is on you. If you go to war, I will take my only loved one and leave this place. When my friends die I will feel sorry, but be sure I will get over it in a single day." I said with determination. I really meant it. Adapt system would force me to adapt to death of all my friends and I would take Orime to Holy Land and would live happily ever after.
They startled the way I talk. 9 years old boy threatening them and actually not even sweating.
"I know who is the culprit forcing the Itachi to do such a thing. The reason why I'm giving you a chance is to catch the bastard and make a truce. Madara and Hashirama was a best friend. They only fought once in their lives and it was over who is going to be the first Hokage. And they both wanted to other party to be first. This was a selfless act. And this is their legacy. Sarutobi-san here is the student of both. And Fugaku-san here descendant of Madara-San's bloodline. How can you fight over Hokage position?" I asked. I really was wondering.
I learned from Crow that, in the original series, there was a constant fight between the village and Uchiha. Uchiha was forced out of the village by Second Hokage and Uchiha's manipulated to rise against the authority. Itachi decided to massacre Uchiha's for the sake of the Village. But in this world, Uchiha's never pushed away. Madara chose their land, Madara chose Hiruzen as a successor Hokage. Minato was a peerless genius and named as Hokage before Hiruzen stepped down. And supported by many. Why would Uchiha's rise against?
"We don't want to fight over Hokage position. We were told village will take away our young ones for the experiment the uncover the secrets of the Uchiha. That is why Itachi was taken away by Anbu. He hardly comes home." Fugaku said, looking Hiruzen. Before Hiruzen said anything I talked.
"Was it Danzou said that?" I asked.
"How did you know?" Fugaku surprised, didn't answer, but asked the question.
"I learned from Itachi, Danzou and Orochijosei are part of the Criminal Organization called Akatsuki. Ordered Itachi to massacre Uchiha's in the name of justice and sake of the Village. They threaten him with the life of Sasuna, he was forced to do so. I noticed that when I mentioned Uchiha Massacre Third's face changed greatly. I presume Danzou brought this conversation to the council meeting. Not directly maybe, but implied. Am I right?" I asked, looking Third.
"Yes. You are right. Danzou told us to be careful about Uchiha's schemes to take over the Hokage position and should take action first before they gather their strength. I shut him down directly and he wasn't in a position to say anything more. Just said 'If necessary I will die to hold our master's honor with my organization Root'." Third, answered.
"Are you sure Orochijosei is part of the Akatsuki?" man named Jiraiya asked.
"Positive. Itachi was ordered by him and intimidated by his evil aura." I said.
What is that about?
"They are teammates from the academy." said Crow.
This is interesting.
"Uchiha has been manipulated to rise against to power. Uchiha's secret meeting, gathering powers and other war preparations noticed by Itachi and he thought Uchiha going to take over the Hokage position with a big war, and with the effect of Sasuna's life, he forced to take action against Uchiha. He wouldn't be alone of course, Akatsuki would definitely help him." I said checking their faces.
"Now you are in the same room and you can clear your doubts. Third would never do experiments on Uchiha's. His own student was forced to leave the village for this very reason. Fugaku-san should know this. Uchiha's will not fight over for the Hokage position. If things go well, Itachi will deserve that position with his own skills. So no need to fight over it. Is there anyone disagree with this statement?"
"No, Itachi is a genius. I would step down now for him." said Third.
"Best talent I have ever seen." said Jiraiya.
"Well, Hitomi-kun here is not bad either. But from the way he talked I presume he doesn't want to be Hokage, so Fifth Hokage would definitely be Itachi." said Fourth.
Fugaku clenched his fist and tears came down from his eyes.
"Now time to take action. Danzou and his Root must be captured and interrogated right away. My suggestion take your most trusted men and don't take too many people. You can't be sure where they have men. Question them with Uchiha's Genjutsu to learn more about Orochijoesei, spies, and Akatsuki." I said.
"This is all I will do. I will take my loved ones away for a few days. And will be back in a week. Either fight between yourself or solve this problem, I don't care." said and flashed away to Orime to take her to the forest. I will take her to a picnic for a week...
