Journey Of A Soul - A Naruto Fanfic

(cont.. of meeting)

'so lets continue with the sage's account, the sage after sealing ten tails, started travelling around the world spreading the idea of chakra and ninshu to the world.

after some years he settled down and finally had two sons, named- ashura and indra.

ashura inherited sage body constitution while indira inherited his doujutsu. names sounds familiar right.'

tsunade- ashura is the name of the deity revered by senju clan.

fugaku- same for indira in uchiha clan, are you saying the both of them were sage's sons.

'yup, both of them are twins and our story continues with indira and ashura going outside to train themselves where they formed different ideologies.

this was also when the people who initially recieved sage teachings have started to war between themselves with the use of chakra.

seeing that the sage's gift of ninshu being wasted in strife, Indira showed his distaste and subdued both sides by developing ninjutsu and returned from his travels a changed man. while ashura also fought but made friends.'

'our old sage, even though both brothers were equally powerful, and even with indira having more potential decided that he was not suited for leading as he saw his mother's shadow in how indira operated, so made ashura his successor.

as you can guess, indira was dissatisfied because he believed that his younger brother's naive kindness to be a weakness and only showing strength could bring lasting piece.

that was when he went outside again to make peace with his father's decision when all went to shit according to the sage.

even though indira was quiet and distant towards everyone else, he was not cruel but something happened to him which changed him this time he went out.

he returned to challenge his younger brother to a fight which ended with both going their sperate ways.

the sage who saw this, believed they would come together eventually with the similar goal of peace they both harbour decided to watch till the end.

in the mean time, his brother homura decided to live on the moon to watch over his mothers seal and that's where the hyuuga clan formed with the people who decided to not follow homura in his seclusion.

the sage who grew weaker with time and was not able to handle the juubi's chakra split the chakra and created the nine bijuu we know now to watch over the world and named them his sons.

in his death bed, he called his sons to ask a final favour of not disturbing the bijuu and passed on. from then on, both the sons decendents have formed two clans senju and uchiha.'

with that, i have unsealed five pieces of stelle's which eminated immense aura and presented it to them all.

'i have eroded the tampered will which made these records created by sage of six paths ineffective to study and now these can be viewed by anyone, you just have to insert your spiritual energy. try it!'

from there, each one of them inserted their spiritual energy and looked at the sage's memories of what i told them.

ofcourse it does not have the extra details since hoguromo doesnt know about what happened after his death and some of the connections i made were missing but they could verify most of my explanation from their clan scrolls, but they are just cryptic and far fetched.. oh well can't have it all right...

'the uzumaki has formed from a senju sage who contracted shinigami and made a deal to get extra life force. how he does it and what was the deal, its still a mystery even for me but Uzumaki decendents have continued to have large chakra and extra life force'.

with that they were all still reeling from shock seeing the images of the steele, but i continued on.

'what happened to indira to change has been repeated to some of your ancestors, i mean all clans present here, where their was a massive change in individuals which lead to wars between clans which is now referred to as clan wars era.

i believe our mystery someone was the one who manipulated and is now manipulating madara or Obito but for what end, we still dont know'

minato- so we are fighting against a shadow from sage of six paths era who is even now planning something and we dont even know what is the end game?

'yes, but its been more than thousand years since this guy began his games, and there is one anomaly since the start till now which tells me we are approaching the end game. that anomaly is the formation of hidden villages and unification of clans.

until this village has formed there was always unrest and death among us which was stopped by first hokage and madara uchiha who came together.'

hiruzen- you gave us a lot to think about, now how is any of this relevant to why you want to graduate and expedite your training again?

'i believe i am another anomaly in this history (author: ofcouse what with being my mc...) , i have checked the records about any innate abilities in the history which are similar to mine but did not find anyone similar.

i think, being an anomaly which will be noticed and come out eventually, if not already did, will make me a target for our mystery manipulator and i need to get ready to face him.

its also that, i dont have the battle experience and the pace i am going, I will hit a bottleneck in the next six months on all the things i am undertaking currently.'

hiruzen- i agree, you already have a target with being my apprentice and when your potential comes out you would be in bigger danger.

fugaku- sasaki kun, why dont we move to the secret stone stelle we have and see if its tampered with?

others nodded while saying they will re check their libraries from the facts i gave them.

i followed the uchiha family with minato and hiruzen to their secret grounds where we saw a stelle which was blurry and hard to read

fugaku- with each stage of sharingan, the stelle gives us the ability to read some information about history of the clan and about our eye abilities.

i examined the aura surrounding the stelle and said 'it is definetly tampered with but i am not able to bypass the bloodline protection in place. i can try again once i get more stronger'.

'one more thing i want to talk with you guys especially and dint want to mention this is that there seems to be extra emphasis on the communication done between our mystery shadow and uchiha clan since its formation.

while the other clans were also directly effected, none more so than your clan so i would be careful.'

while fugaku and minato had decided to talk about the way to deal with uchiha clan unrest which is taking place, i and hiruzen made it back.

hiruzen- okay brat, i will start preparing for your trail by fire. i will contact you after a week when everything is ready so prepare well.

i went back to my room for a nap as i was tired mentally with everything i have done the last week and needed some rest.

after that i made it back to the hokage monument and started thinking about my next steps.

(minato pov since the start of the first meeting)

i was in the hokage office when hiruzen sama came through the door.

hiruzen- minato, it seems like we need to call for another meeting, my dear apprentice has figured out many things which needs to be discussed. he even figured out that your daughters hold kyuubi.

i was startled by this, only the sannin and hiruzen have that information and i thoroughly blocked any leak. how a 4 year child even if highly talented could figure that out is suspicious not to say impossible.

'why do we need to call everyone for this discussion, wouldnt just you and me suffice, maybe jiraya?'

hiruzen looked thoughful and said- it was something the brat said, that what he would disclose would effect everyone in the room last night.

i caught on to something else- wait, he knows about those meetings?? how?

hiruzen- brat pulled a fast one on us. you know how he learned shadow clones!! , well he used one as a decoy.. he really is a pain in the a.s.s..

i looked at the third hokage, even saying that he looked proud of his apprentice to figure out our meetings, i can see that in his face.

'well we are already suspicious of uchiha clan and i am still not sure why they need to be included in this discussion'

hiruzen offered his counsel saying - after the nine tails attack, there is some friction between the village and uchiha clan, that is true, but we have made some bridges in these meetings regarding the brat and i also feel its important enough to give them a sense of trust by involving them. who knows we may even come out of these issues we arw having with them without any sacrifices.

i nodded and prepared to call another meeting.

(a few hours later)

i was listening on what sasaki kun was telling us and when he talked about kannagi bridge mission i tensed. i dont know how we missed the anomaly in that mission, but with the massacre i had to unleash and the lives i took that day along with loosing a student, no wonder i dint want to think about that day.

when he was asking permission to declare the status of my daughters as jinchuriki, i was still hesitant but i can also see that almost everyone has already guessed it. but when he disclosed that obito may be alive and was the prime suspect behind nine tails attack i dint want to believe it.

i had decided to check out for sure if obito was alive or not and ordered them to check. now i will be able to get a conclusive evidence soon enough.

but it was not the end.. learning the manipulation to divide the uchiha clan from the village and fugaku confirming the fact that the caution i took on the whole clan had started to escalate the issue took a massive hit on my ego.

just thinking if these details have not come out, that i maybe almost prepared to sacrifice the uchiha had let my opinion that i was a good hokage down.

there is also the matter of obito, i am still not sure how to deal with it. lets wait and see.

the clans gave in to sasaki kun's request for entrance to their historical records sections, i wonder what other proof he was talking about. what is the need to go that further back for evidence.

i was informed on all of sasaki kun's actions and was surprised when mikoto came and informed me of when he was suddenly able to study the tomes just by touching. i still feel he is hiding something deeper. my instincts still say i can trust him, but my job as hokage cant help but be distrustful even though he checked out.

(after a couple of days)

the obito body in cemetery checked out on dna test, but tsunade found chakra in it while doing a detailed autopsy on the corpse which should be impossible. i have placed the corpse for r&d to work on and they have not found the actual body which confirms maybe obito was truly responsible.

(a week after the first meeting)

now i am thoroughly shocked, what kind of mess did i land into... it should be just worying about my village and maintaining peace, that should be my job but what is even the things being talked about?? a immortal?? thousand years?? we are aliens ... wait only the four clans are aliens right??? wait did i marry an alien..

why am i thinking all these things right now again.... damn you hiruzen, why dint you just allow him to be a damn genin, he would just be allowed to mow some lawns, did you need to provoke him to come up with a thousand year conspiracy for a genin rank..

by the end of this meeting i just wanted a vacation but looking at the biggest scroll of information sasaki gave me ,which would take me atleast a month to re organize with added information available only to hokage and compile them.. well it could have been worse.. that was the only thought left for me.
