After an hour of peeking, Hiruzen stowed the crystal ball back in the drawer. He signaled nearby Anbus who were guarding him to leave him alone for a while.
After confirming that all of the Anbus had left the room, Hiruzen retrieved the scroll left by Yagami. He began to read through the scroll and began to contemplate over the Intel written in it. The activities of Iwagakure had been pretty suspicious lately.
It had been two years since the Second Ninja war ended. Konoha faced Sunagakure and Amegakure. The majority of war took place in Amegakure led by Hanzo which led to the downfall of Amegakure. Onoki that fence-sitter of Iwagakure joined the war when the majority of the damage was done to both sides. His village reaped the most amount of benefits and managed to consolidate its foundations even more.
Although Kumogakure wasn't involved in the second Ninja war, the Third Raikage had been strengthening his military forces for a while. Konoha didn't suffer any terrain or economic damage but the war cost the lives of most of its shinobis. So, they are still in the process of recuperating from their losses and this suspicious activity by Iwagakure raised alarms for them as they needed to take precautions in advance. Another war in the next five years may lead to a decline in the power of Konoha.
His three students performed spectacularly in the previous war and made names for themselves as 'The Legendary Sannins'. Lately, Orochimaru had been involved with Danzo with some shady experiments. He would look into them in the future as his hands were tied to maintain the stability of the Village for now. Also, according to intel from his Anbus tailing Danzo, Danzo seemed to have some dealings with the Hanzo of the Salamander. Hiruzen contemplated over this matter,
'Although there are various shady and unclear parts in the intel about their collaboration and I am unclear of Danzo's motives; but I trust Danzo that he won't take any actions against the interest of the Village. Sigh…. I am getting old and I need to find a successor for the Hokage's position.'
---------------
After Yagami left the Hokage's office, he hurriedly rushed towards Uchiha compounds. After the appointment of the Second Hokage, the Uchiha clan was assigned the role of Village Military Police Force and thus their clan compounds were pushed to the edge of the village. Although there was some unrest among the clansmen about this matter the clan was still able to flourish.
Yagami hurriedly entered the Uchiha compounds and dashed towards his house. After he entered the house he was greeted by his wife Fumiko who had a bulge in her stomach. He hurriedly held and her and passed Izuna to her as he spoke,
"Fumiko immediately boil some milk and warm it mildly to feed to the baby."
Fumiko is shocked by the action of Yagami but she still did what Yagami said to her. After five minutes, Fumiko walked out of the kitchen with milk in a bottle and began to slowly feed Izuna.
Izuna was very hungry from previous events, his body automatically moved when milk was placed in his mouth as he began to suck the nipple of the bottle and drank milk. While drinking milk he stared at Fumiko and started thinking,
'So, she is Aunt Fumiko, the mother of Shisui Uchiha. It wasn't clear in anime or manga about any of the parents of Shisui but if my guess is correct they somehow died in war or were secretly disposed of by the Root. Afterall, Shisui was an important piece of Danzo and Danzo tends to gain full control over his subordinates. In this life, I would try my best to protect my loved ones; I will at least save Uncle and aunt even if it means to confront Danzo earlier than necessary.'
As Izuna was lost in his thoughts and was drinking the milk, Fumiko was having a questionnaire with Yagami,
"So, whose child is this? You went out on a mission with your team three weeks ago. If my memory serves me right you have returned at least a week ago."
Yagami was overwhelmed by her questionnaire was about to respond to her when Fumiko interrupted,
"Don't tell he is your illegitimate child Yagami Uchiha. So, this was the reason you returned late from your mission. You cheated on me Yagami, answer me Yagami!"
Yagami was about to respond to her but was interrupted again,
"When I was tending to your house here in Konoha you went out somewhere to enjoy yourself and even brought a child with you. Yagami you even forgot about over incoming child and left me alone. I am not satisfied with your answer then don't even think about seeing my face again. I will return to my father and complain to him about your debauchery. He is clan leader, he will surely take actions against you, and also my younger brother Fugaku is about to succeed him as Village chief. Your days in the village would be numbered."
Fumiko threatened Yagami who at this point was sweating buckets of sweat. He hurriedly held Fumiko's hand with one hand and placed his another hand over her mouth as he stopped her from speaking.
"Stop! Let me explain."
He began to narrate the incidents of the mission as tears began to stream down from his eyes while explaining. Fumiko attentively listened to her as her eyes became moist and she started bawling out her eyes.
Fumiko cried for a while before she was interrupted by a tug on her clothes.
-------
Izuna was staring at the conversation between Yagami and Fumiko and he was amused by their interactions. The bubbly personality of Fumiko surprised him but what shocked him more was the revelation,
'So, in this universe, Fumiko is the elder sister of Fugaku. What the actual fuck! It was never mentioned in anime or manga but maybe it is one of the arrangements of God. Now, I must save Itachi and his family. I don't care about other Uchihas as most of them are way over the head, drunk upon their power and bloodline. Maybe this is the side effect of the bloodline curse. Black Zetsu sure has tempered a lot with Uchiha bloodline. If I am unable to find a cure for the curse then I guess a wipeout of the Uchiha would be necessary or I can kill those stubborn old fools of the Uchiha clan and preserve its heritage. That black zombie plotted and wiped out the entire lineage of Hagoromo Otsutsuki, maybe he had a greater grudge against Hagoromo compared to Hamura. Hyuga clan was able to survive after all.'
Feeling tired Izuna pulled the clothes of Fumiko as he wanted to sleep.
----------
Fumiko looked over at Izuna who was tugging her clothes, her motherly instincts kicked in as she was able to sense what Izuna was conveying. She laid him on a small crib nearby. Yagami and Fumiko were expecting their first child, so they had made all the necessary preparation for the welcome of the child.
She gently caressed Izuna before she covered Izuna in a blanket. It was the month of September and the cold wind was flowing outside. To prevent the baby from catching a cold she gently wrapped him in the blanket before she returned to Yagami to continue their conversation.
Fumiko went to one of the nearby cabinet as she pulled it's drawers and took out some bandages and medicines. She applied the medicines and wrapped bandages around Yagami's wounds as she continued to ask.
"So, he is their child. Hmm…. Now I noticed it he looks similar to Akira. I am sorry Yagami for accusing you falsely."
Yagami gently caressed her bulge as he muttered,
"It's alright. I don't want Izuna to feel the absence of his parents. We will take care of him like over child and he will be the elder brother of our Shisui."
"Shisui?" Fumiko frowned as she questioned.
"Yes, Shisui that's the name I thought for your baby boy." Yagami replied.
"How are you so sure that our child will be a boy?" questioned Fumiko.
"I have a gut feeling that our new-born child will be a boy. Enough of that list all of the necessary things required to take care of a new-born child, I will immediately buy them. We will pamper Izuna a lot."
Fumiko nodded as she began to list out the things necessary for child care.
"Tomorrow I will go and consult my father more about this matter. Also, I will meet Fugaku, after all, he will soon turn twenty-two and I need to find a suitable girl for him to marry."
Knock knock....knock...
"Yagami san!..... Yagami san!"
Their conversation was interrupted by as an Uchiha clansman in Police uniform knocked on their door. Yagami frowned as he immediately greeted the Police officer and inquired,
"What's the matter Kazuma San? You seemed to be in a hurry?"
"Yagami- san one of the Anbus from Hokage's office came to inform me at the Police station. There seems to be an emergency as your presence is required at the Village Hospital." Kazuma replied.
A terrible premonition rose in Yagami's heart as he clutched Kazuma's hand and furiously shook him,
"Please elaborate more Kazuma san. What's the matter?"
"I am not aware of necessary details too, I was only told to inform you about this matter."
Kazuma replied as he pulled back his hand as he stared at Yagami in accusation.
Ignoring the ugly expression on Kazuma's face, Yagami dashed towards the Village hospital as he jumped on the roof and disappeared.
