Chapter 30: Revealing the truth.
This would have been a very happy reunion if Hiruzen didn't break his promise, and from the disappointed look on Minato's and Kushina's faces. He understood that they have a good idea of the current situation.
"It's been a while indeed Minato, Kushina" said Hiruzen with his Bs regretful sigh and continued.
"How are you still alive like this and why didn't you contact me?"
"What! You shameless old man you rather want us dead? And you even want us to contact you after the way you and the village treated Naruto!" replied Kushina with anger plastered on her face while Minato kept the same disappointed look.
Hiruzen sighed feeling the guilt in his heart increasing but he suppressed it and said "I understand your frustrations with me, but first I need to know the situation"
Kushina was about to yell again but Minato held her back and said «I sealed a small portion of chakra from Kushina and me inside of Naruto to help deal with Kurama in the future and see how Naruto grew up even if it's only for a few moments.
Yet, Bakorio-kun helped us restore our chakra and even souls and now we can accompany Naruto all the time, so the accusations against the Uchiha are pointless. You should be thanking him instead, if you still consider me The Fourth Hokage!"
Hiruzen was shocked and than happy at having the fourth back because even if he can't help in fights physically. With his ideas he cans still be of great help to the village and Kushina too with her great sealing knowledge.
But then he felt disappointed in himself at how the first thing he thought of was using them and he remembered how he listened to Danzo and the council causing him to feel shame.
After all the situation was clear , Bakorio gave them two perfect guardians and trainers for the Jinchuriki and no one can manipulate him with them here.
Hiruzen sighed again before he heard Minato continues saying " The Uchiha clan wasn't responsible for the incident 5 years ago either, it was a masked man and seeing how someone was capable of destroying the special barriers we made on the birth site means someone from the higher ups of the village helped him, who do you think it was, Hiruzen?"
"Impossible don't tell me, no he wouldn't dare h-"
"he dared , after all he and his roots Anbu didn't help when the attack happened instead they went to keep the Uchiha from helping to make sure I have no way but to sacrifice myself.
As for the barrier and the location of the birth site, you should know that they were clearly selected and they are impossible to break easily so I'm pretty sure he leaked at least the location of the birth site.
This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
As for why he would do this, you know his intentions clearly, after all right after; he sent a team to assassinate you in your diplomatic mission with the village hidden in the sand (suna)".
Hiruzen turned pale at his foolishness for letting all these go by unpunished.
"Leave for now, Bakorio-kun still have more things to tell you and bear in mind, this is your last chance to correct your mistakes".
"There's more???" Hiruzen was shocked before he turned angry and directly left the seal.
Meanwhile outside the seal everyone kept looking at Hiruzen's changing face, from happy to sad to regret to disappointment and finally anger as he opened his eyes and said "The Uchiha clan is innocent and they did a huge service to the village this time ...." Before he started talking about his meeting with Minato and what they talked about including the incident 5 years ago shocking everyone.
"Impossible this must be a trick!" Danzo said in denial.
"Shut up Danzo, as of now you are under arrest" The moment Hiruzen finished saying this a group of Anbu surrounded Danzo.
"Bakorio-kun, Minato said you have something more to say please go ahead" Hiruzen said fearing for what's coming...
"Indeed I do , I am sure everyone here wonders why Danzo is so adamant on targeting our clan even though it would have helped him better if he got close to use and gain our support to become Hokage" I said and everyone nodded since it was weird.
"The reason is this» I said as I pointed at my eyes now turning red with three tomoe inside.
Everyone was shocked before Shikaku Nara, Konoha's Jonin commander spoke «But why would he go so far just for your clan's Sharingan?" And Danzo started feeling that something bad is going to happen.
"Good question , the answer is an ability our eyes has that's not that well known even to our clan members, this ability is called Izanagi , it allows the user to distort reality at the price of the eye turning blind and never recovering even if you replace it. So for example you can sacrifice one eye to escape death from a fatal injury that's why Danzo is after them, to save his worthless life when in danger." I said while watching the shock in everyone's eyes increasing.
But it wasn't surprising because this ability is truly abnormal. As for Danzo he couldn't hold back and said "Absurd, all I did was for the well being of Konoha and its peo-".
I directly cut his bs " Really , is that why you helped orochimaru in his human experiments while researching Hashirama's cells using people from the village as guinea pigs".
It was like a bomb dropping inside the meeting room as everyone stood up and looked at Danzo with a dangerous look including Hiruzen who said «Is this true Danzo?".
Danzo knew that he was getting cornered so he said "Hmph, I am not going to sit here and listen to a toddler lecturing me" as he tried to leave but Fugaku stepped on his way and said "You won't be leaving today".
"What's the meaning of this Fugaku? Are you rebelling against the village?"Danzo said in anger but he was ignored and I said with a smile »Everyone, I have proof of what I said. Danzo unveil your right eye and hand to everyone, I am sure you can do such a simple thing to prove your innocence right?"
I gestured to Hiashi secretly " Indeed Danzo, please prove your innocence so we can put our hearts to peace " Hiashi said.
The people present were surprised at the Hyuga helping the Uchiha but they thought that it was because they also have eyes people covet.
Many people announced their support after this ending with the angry Hiruzen saying "Danzo! Unveil your right eye and hand right now!"
Throughout all this Danzo was unresponsive and a weird calm lingered around him , the calm before the storm ... because he suddenly said "ATTACK!" as many root members attacked everyone present while he himself exhaled some air and launched a compressed air blade right at me before he tried to escape.
He sent this air blade to distract Fugaku and force him to defend me but to his surprise Fugaku decided to ignore the attack rushing towards the kid and he directly attacked Danzo.
As for his compressed air blade, he saw the kid dodge it without even breaking a sweat and Danzo understood that his situation is really bad.
