Next morning the hokage tower was busy with the night incident but they couldn't come up with the reason why it happened.
"I am telling you this is the job of that Uchiha brat. If not him who will do something like this inside the village. " said Danzo as he looked at the Hiruzen.
In the hokage office Danzo sat with Hiruzen and Shikaku along with the anbu captain of previous night who is standing by the side.
" Yes i know that but we can't make him the culprit without any proof. " said Hiruzen puffing his smoke.
" Why do you need any proof if we know who it is. When we interrogate him, then we will get the information. We just need to catch him. " said danzo with more pressure.
"But the other clans head will not approve of this. Technically Ryuzaki is the head of the Uchiha clan. And with the massacre of Uchiha clan the other clans are wary of us. If we take a clan head to interrogate then the other clans will not stay put. " said Hiruzen as he sighed looking out the window.
Hearing the discussion between Hiruzen and Danzo Shikaku thought < If Ryuzaki is the culprit then we will have to look for evidence. Killing like that is not possible without any seal. So he might have a seal in his house. >
Danzo became silent as he know what Hiruzen is thinking, truth be told Danzo just came here to make trouble for Hiruzen. Danzo didn't think that Ryuzaki can be interrogated as he is going to be the successor of the Uchiha clan.
If the hokage can take a clan head as a prisoner then the other clan head can also be put into the same situation as him. And they won't have the power to oppose the hokage later if they let it happen now.
The village was made this way where a hokage will look after the village but his authority will not allow him to control the clan of other people. The clan are the responsibility of the clan heads where he does not have any authority.
If the hokage where to forcefully try to take control of the clan then there will be another war starting.
Counting his pros and cons Hiruzen said "We can only bring him to question so don't try to start anything unnecessary."
"If it is not interrogation then i will not be a part of it. I have other things to do. " saying that Danzo left the office.
" Call Ryuzaki to the office" hearing the order from Hiruzen the anbu left to inform Ryuzaki.
"Lord hokage I think we should search for evidence in his house we might find something. The way that anbu died is not normal. "said Shikaku.
Hearing that Hiruzen started to think as he puffed out smokes.
"Okay send someone after Ryuzaki comes here. He lives alone so it should be easy to search his house when he is not around." said Hiruzen thinking that it should be easy.

Ryuzaki was training Sasuke when anbu came to inform him. Ryuzaki hearing that they are once again calling him to office got annoyed.
"If they have something to ask tell them to come to me. I am not going anywhere, I have work here. " saying Ryuzaki continued to train Sasuke without minding the anbu.
The anbu got angry at his word, but without any order from the hokage he didn't have any choice but to report it back. Giving a cold sneer the anbu left.
Seeing that the anbu left Sasuke asked perplexed "Why did you do that!! You should go to the hokage because he is looking for you."
"If he has to ask me something he should come to me, I am not his dog who will bark at his call. " said Ryuzaki looking at Sasuke.
" He is the hokage, who look after the village. I know that you don't respect him but you shouldn't disregard his order like that. " said Sasuke as he continued to swing his sword.
" He look after the village, that does not mean that he look after the people. There are two different meaning in that. You should know how to differentiate between them. And you should also be like me who disregard everything other his his own reasoning. Don't be a guy who listen to other, be a guy whom other will listen. " saying that Ryuzaki felt like he contradicted his own words.
Sasuke without stopping continued to train. As for what he think about Ryuzaki's word no one knows other than him.

In the hokage tower the anbu stood before Hiruzen and Shikaku as he reported. Hearing the report Shikaku thought about the assumptions he made before.
"Lord hokage we should go to his house if he doesn't want to come to us. There must be something that could be used as a evidence that's why he does not want to leave his house. " said Shikaku as he looked at Hiruzen.
" Okay we will go to him. But before that we need to come up with a plan to search his house. It will be easier if we have a reason to search then he will not be able to oppose us. If he did oppose us then we have a valid reason to lock him up. " said Hiruzen as he smiled inwardly.
Finally getting a reason to catch Ryuzaki like this, is not something that Hiruzen want to let go. So he wanted to make all the preparations to catch Ryuzaki. Shikaku started to make a plan hearing Hiruzen.
" We can say that there is an invader in the village who killed our men yesterday. And the last trace point in his clan compound. So with that we can search all the clan with his house so that he can not make any excuses. " said Shikaku feeling that it will be a good reason to go with.
" Hmm... Okay we will do this as there isn't other plan that we can make now. " Getting the approval from Hiruzen, Shikaku started to make arrangements.
