Chapter 95 - Pre war meeting

(Author'notes. Sorry for the errors guys. I have reuploaded the chapter. It was an unconscious error. Sorry again. Enjoy the chapter)

I approached the Hokage's office and knocked the door. Immediately I heard Tsunade say "Come in". I opened the door and entered the office. Tsunade seeing me said "Sasuke, you have some serious explaining to do. How did you get Danzo?" Everyone else also nodded. I smiled and said "At the kage meeting, when Obito showed up, I placed a tracking seed on him". Shukaku interrupted asking "What's a tracking seed?" I said "Shukaku, it's a wood style jutsu of the first hokage where I can plant a wood seed and track that person". Shukaku nodded and I continued "So, I tracked Obito and went after him, but I found Danzo with him planning to take over the village when the war starts. So I dealt with him. Obito managed to escape, but I got his arm". I pulled his arm from my Kamui space and showed it to everyone.

Kakashi asked "So, he managed to get away from you?" I replied "Actually, he had some help from in escaping. Otherwise I would have brought his body as well". Tsunade smiled and said "It's fine Sasuke. It's already good that you dealt with Danzo. Now that's out of the way, we can continue the meeting". Everyone nodded and the meeting started. She then said "It's good that you are back soon as well Sasuke. You will be of great help for the war". I said "Well, I'm indeed back, but I won't be able to help out until my eyes are transplanted and adjusted."

Once again Tsunade was flustered. "What?! What do you mean by that Sasuke?" I replied "Now now, calm down. This pertains to a secret of the Sharingan. Once one awakens the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan and uses that power it will begin to cause their eyes to deteriorate and go blind. To avoid this problem one can transplant the eyes of a close relative to avoid this side effect and gain something known as the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. It is a Mangekyo Sharingan that will not lose its sight. I will transplant Itachi's eyes. It will take awhile for my eyes to evolve and adjust, therefore, I won't be able to help us in the war at the very beginning. It'd be better for me to awaken the Eternal Mangekyo earlier and during the beginning of the war than to wait for the right time as my fighting power will greatly increase after transplanting. So I'll ask Sakura to do it now".

Tsunade just let out another sigh and clicked her tongue. "Tsk. Sasuke, your battle power is invaluable to Konoha. Truly bad timing. Very well, it can't be helped. Go to Sakura and get it done immediately." I nodded and left. Tsunade seeing me go, continued "Then let us get on with the preliminary meeting. I'll inform the village about the beginning of the Fourth Great Ninja War. We'll need a list of all capable and available shinobi in this village as well as stocking up and keeping an inventory on food and ninja tools." Jiraya nodded in agreement. "Mn. Your plan is sound." Kakashi, Shikaku, and Shizune also nodded in agreement. "Oh, one more thing." Tsunade said. "What is it?" Jiraya asked.

The break down of the Allied Shinobi Forces will be the Commando Division led by Kankuro of Sunagakure, Logistics Support and Medical Division led by Shizune, Sakura & Karin. The Intelligence Division led by Inoichi whom I will inform later. The Sensor Division led by Ao of Kirigakure. The First Division for mid range combat led by Darui of Kumogakure, the Second Division for short range combat led by Kitsuchi of Iwagakure, the Third Division led by Kakashi for short to mid range combat, the Fourth Division for long range combat led by Gaara who is also the regimental commander, and finally the Fifth Division which is a special battle division." Mifune will be leading as captain for the Fifth Division. Its aim is to provide support to the other divisions. At first I thought that Jiraya or Sasuke might want to lead as the Third Division captain but also thought that with your skills and expertise you may want to be a part of the Fifth Division's special battle. And due to Sasuke's condition, You would then be able to go and provide support to whichever division is in need. I wanted your opinion on this."

Kakashi spoke up at this moment and said, "Lord Fifth, wouldn't it be best to let Lord Jiraya be the captain of the Third Division? Lord Jiraya should have a position befitting of his title as a Sanin." Tsunade just looked at Kakashi for a second before laughing. "Hahaha! Kakashi, you can't escape having some real responsibility forever. You have the skills, intelligence, and the right moral personality. You could be a Hokage one day yourself." "Eh? Please don't joke like that Lord Fifth. I'm not really the Hokage type." Kakashi replied. Jiraya chimed in at this moment with a cheerful laughter. "Hahaha! Kakashi, I agree with Tsunade. You may not realize it but if something were to ever happen to Tsunade or myself the one whom we always thought would replace us first was you."

Kakashi remained silent as he simply accepted what Tsunade and Jiraya said, but a thought crossed his mind and he replied, "What about...Sasuke?"

After Kakashi spoke the room turned completely silent as everyone had actually started to deeply contemplate the notion of Sasuke as a Hokage. Shukaku breoke the silence as he said, "Sasuke? Isn't he still much too young? He would at least need to achieve some sort of merits before he could even be considered a candidate for Hokage."

Tsunade chimed in next as she said, "Considering age, Gaara is about the same age as Sasuke and he was able to become the Kazekage. Even though he is extremely young he has been managing his village extremely well. Not only that but despite his young age he has a Kage level battle power. I have no doubt about Sasuke is the strongest shinobi and after the transplant, He'll become even stronger. He was even able to defeat Pain alone. In fact, as far as merits go, he has indeed earned enough of a reputation amongst the shinobi of Konoha to be recognized as extremely capable. He played a significant role in minimizing the damage to the Leaf during Orochimaru's attack. And now he was successful in hunting down Danzo preventing a potentially huge scandal and underlying problem for the Leaf. Especially since now we are about to go to war."
