After sleeping what felt like a day, I woke up at exact 7AM.
'Let's see, 3 days gone in cleaning, 1 day in meeting and 2 days will be required for the trip. After that only a day left for academy. Lets go to training grounds first.'
After training my familiar techniques and sharingan for 1 hour I can say that my mind started to get hand of it. It will be completed after 1 more session. After that I can train new techniques.
After that I took bath, eat and arrived at Hokage Tower at 9AM.
Hiruzen- "Ah, you are finally here Sasuke. I have arranged 3 people for you. Come in."
As he said those words 3 persons entered the office through door. They were Kakashi, Might Guy and Asuma.
Hiruzen-"They will be your body guard Sasuke. Asuma and Guy, your mission is to protect Sasuke and make sure he finishes his business in Sora-Ku and comes back safely. However, in the time of need you must return immediately if you think there is harm to Sasuke and you can't handle it alone. Considering Sasuke is last uchiha and there could be anything in the form of danger, this mission can escalate from A-rank to S-rank."
Asuma, Kakashi and Guy- "Sure Lord Hokage."
Sasuke (with his usual smile)- ' Its an honor to be protected by Blue Beast of Konoha and one of the 12 guardian shinobis. Now we should get going. We will be here by tomorrow 3rd Hokage.
Guy- "Don't worry Sasuke, we will complete the mission in no time with the power of youth." He said with a thumb up and a smile with his teeth shining.
While going I saw head of Fuma Clan going to meet the Hokage. He sees me and nod at me to which I smirked. This didn't go unnoticed by Kakashi. He looked at me for explanation to which I just said that he is here for the responsibility of military force.
After that we register our names at the gate and then started our journey towards Sora-Ku. I have a big box with me filled with dried fishes for the ninja cats. It was being carried by Guy. Asuma was running at the front, I was in the middle and Might Guy at last. And Kakashi was hidden and following us.
After some hours in a room there are 4 people present discussing something. They are 3rd Hokage with other 3 Konoha Elders.
Hiruzen- "So its decided that Fuma Clan will get the responsibility of Konoha Military Force."
Danzo- "Now that it's settled we should discuss the important matter."
Hiruzen- "And what would that be Danzo?"
Now everyone is looking at Danzo.
Danzo (annoyed)- "Don't play dumb Hiruzen. You know what I am talking about, that why is Sasuke Uchiha outside the village and why was it not discussed?"
Now both Koharu and Homura were looking at Hiruzen.
Hiruzen (with a sigh)- "He has gone to Sora-Ku. He said that he received a message from them after the massacre regarding their relations which he has to solve. I have made arrangements for his safety. He is being escorted by Kakashi, Asuma and Might Guy. And why I didn't discussed it because it doesn't matter if we discuss it or not."
To this all became confused.
Homura- "What do you mean it doesn't matter?"
Hiruzen- "He informed me that he was also being trained for the position of clan head. Village rules are different but according to his clan rules he is already clan head. He came to me yesterday and submitted a mission for it. Since he is not a ninja but a civilian, I have to accept the mission. And because of village rules with uchiha clan we can't associate with them unless it concerns the village. He knows all the rules and is using them efficiently."
At this some were surprised and some were irritated.
Hiruzen- "Anything else Danzo?"
Danzo- "Yes. Perhaps you don't know but my spies have informed me that he is talking with other clan heads gaining their favor."
Hiruzen- "I am well aware of that. But didn't we want this form the start. As I said he was being trained by both Fugaku AND Itachi. And if you are worried about his loyalty then there is nothing to worry about. I have personally talk to him, he is just like Itachi."
After hearing this all were satisfied but Danzo was thinking is his mind that it seems another uchiha with will of fire has been found and was irritated by it. (But little did he know that its just the beginning.)
As Danzo was about to say something Hiruzen interrupted him and said that he has lots of work to do and end the meeting there.
It was evening time and Sasuke and others are standing outside the gates of Sora-Ku.
Sasuke- 'Let's go inside, but careful as all the cats inside are ninja cats.'
Everyone nod and followed me inside.
As expected there were many ninneko roaming around. After going some distance I was greeted by ninja cats Denka and Hina. I asked them to take us to Nekobaa.
After we reach there, I was greeted by Nekobaa and her daughter Tamaki.
Nekobaa- "Sasuke! How was your journey? I heard about what happened. I still can't come in terms with it. What can I do for you?"
Sasuke- 'Journey was fine Nekobaa. I received your letter. I am here for discussion of our further interests. Let's go to meeting room.'
She was confused but decided to go along with it.
Nekobaa- "Very well. Follow me."
After that I signaled the others to wait here and then followed her.
After we reach there she activated the privacy seal.
Nekobaa- "Now what is this about Sasuke."
Sasuke- 'Sorry. That was the excused I used in village to came here. I want you to do something for me.'
Nekobaa- "Hmm, understandable. What is it that you want me to do?"
Sasuke- 'I want you to arrange 500 ninneko for me who will stay in uchiha district under me. I will pay the necessary amount. Oh, and I also want the seal used for carrying tools used on hands.'
Nekobaa- "No problem. I will arrange it but it may take a month. And is there a particular reason for it."
After that I told her the same thing I told the head of Fuma Clan.
Nekobaa (smiling)- "Looks like little Sasuke has grown. It will be arranged and I will provide the seal outside. Now let's go outside."
I wondered why was she smiling, does she know the truth? Does Itachi told her?
After we meet with others I called Denka and Nina and handed them the box of dried fish and said, 'These are for you all.'
Denka and Nina- "Thanks! Keep taking care of us. Nya!"
After that I gave Nekobaa a Platinum Hair Pin and Tamaki a stuffed Cat Toy, to which they thanked me and Tamaki blushed.
I forgot that she also had crush on Sasuke. After that we stayed the night there and decided to return tomorrow morning.
