A year and a half after the attack on the estate, Uzumaki's crimes where discovered. Before that, let's go back around 6 months before then.
Nurse; congrats on being able to walk again, Darui San.
The female nurse was referring to a 50-year-old man who was one of the 5 pillars of Ga-den, who had over 40,000 Gadenians behind him with his cunning and devious tactics he was Darui Ga-den.
Darui; I'm just happy to finally be out of this place.
*now I can finally put my plan to motion. *
6 months later…
Jerry, who just returned from Hinata's grave, was walking through an alleyway on his way back home.
Jerry; hey old man, what do you want?
Darui, who was just sitting on a bench; nothing gets past you as always.
Jerry; like I won't recognise that animosity anywhere. Also, why the hell are you dressed up like you're homeless?
Darui; *on normal circumstances I'd kill myself before considering it, but I can't let my plans go to waste now*
Darui then bowed his head in respect; I Darui, pillar of the Ga-den clan greets the secret leader!
Jerry; *huh* what?
Darui; *YOU COULD ACT A LITTLE LESS SUPPRISED*
I'll just cut right to the chase, I honestly want to become more… acquainted.
Jerry; and how do you suppose you can do that?
Darui; that's just the thing, I possess some very obscure information regarding the incident from a year ago.
Jerry; *I don't think he's lying, though I do sense an anterior motive, as to be expected from Darui. However, it doesn't seem to be malicious, I'll just play along for now. *
So, what is this information you're talking about?
Darui; let's go somewhere more private to discuss this.
Jerry; *is he for real now? * alright then.
So then Darui opened the door of a building nearby then they both entered. At 1st it seemed to be an empty warehouse, but then Darui flipped a switch which opened a trap door with a stairway leading further down. Jerry then followed Darui through the stairway.
Jerry; I thought you said somewhere private? This underground casino is packed.
Darui; oh don't worry, everyone you see here all work for me.
Jerry; oh, so this how you rally so many people to your side. I've been wondering that for a while now.
Darui; and now you've seen my cards, I believe you can trust me slightly more now?
Jerry; I'll see.
The casino manager then escorted the two to a private room.
Jerry; now then let's get to business.
Darui; indeed. Now then, I know you're well acquainted with Uzumaki are you not?
Jerry; I am; we've spoken on multiple occasions now.
Darui; then I believe this is easy, he is by far the most popular amongst the pillars and by far the most adored. Not even Yuzawa can reach his influence. He loved to act as pure as a saint and as innocent as an angel. However, that was all an act to hide something he didn't want revealed.
Jerry; what was it?
Darui; his hatred for the clan. When he was a child, he was always picked on out of jealousy, he had no friends growing up, he was raised in an orphanage till the pillar before him chose him as his successor after finding out they were of the same lineage, after that he was taken from the orphanage and raised to be the next pillar. And throughout that time he was mocked and scorned by those around him. However, he was able to rally the public to his side with his charisma and years of helping others with their problems and gaining support from the other pillar candidates like Kurotsuchi, Yuzawa and Akimichi, however, I was the only one who saw through his deceit, simply because he was just like me, devious and two-faced. But he was better. And it angered me. Fast forward to a year ago, after the attack. My men have found suspicious calls and meetings made by Uzumaki, mainly to members of Con's organization.
Jerry; and when where they made?
Darui; years before the declaration was made.
Jerry; I see, so this was well planned then. *It makes sense, for years now after everything I've seen and heard, this seemed far to convenient to just be a random attack, it was like they knew every square inch of this place. So I've been suspecting a traitor among us. Who knew I'd be right again*. Do you have anything to back this up?
Darui; Shizuma, come over here.
Shizuma then did as Darui asked, before now he was just standing at a corner waiting for Darui's call.
Darui; tell him all that you told me.
5 minutes later…
Jerry; *It's strange, nothing he told me was a lie, but Uzumaki being the traitor makes no sense and a lot of sense at the same time. Man, I love being able to sense emotions. *
Darui; Shizuma, can you step out for a bit?
Jerry; why did you ask him to step out?
Darui; I just wanted to have a private chat with you. I'm not going to hide anything, so I'll finally stop pretending.
Jerry; pretending what?
Darui; that you can't hear others thoughts, what else?
........................….!?
Jerry; what are you?
Darui; oh don't deny it, because you see, I had the same ability myself. You see you and I, are the same.
