Reborn: Adventure Throughout The Multiverse

In a peaceful village full of vibrant people and joyous children, there sits an old man with a pointy hat up in the tower surrounded by four other people. But the atmosphere in there is not resembling the outside.

Third Hokage: Sigh, what is with you three barging in right now, while I am having a meeting with Shikaku here.

Danzo: Don't you sigh me Hiruzen, this is because of your lax personality that we are here at this stage...

Hiruzen: Shikaku can you go outside, please

Shikaku: Troublesome...

As soon as he goes outside, Hirzuen activates a silencing seal,

Hiruzen *shouts*: What do you want now, huh, on your pressure we ordered an innocent man to slaughter his kin and become a criminal, on your suggestion we didn't let anyone outside of us know Naruto's birth parent and didn't let anyone adopt him, now he's missing, dead or alive we don't know. What else do you want? Let me guess you wAnt Sauke in your ROOT DANZO, so that you fulfill your little fantasy of a weapon, while rest of the village fends of the wrath of his brother!!

At the end of his rant, Hiruzen flares his chakra to remind them of their position.

Homura shrinks back, while Koharu just shuts up and looks at Danzo. While Danzo grits his teeth

and says

Danzo: Hirzue

Hiruzen flares his chakra once more: Its Lord Hokage, Danzo Shimura, while you are nothing but an advisor who advises me.

Danzo frowns for a moment but quickly, regains his poker face: I was saying that you let me handle Sasuke's training Lord Hokage, as our weapon

Hiruzen again flares his chakra

Danzo: As Naruto is missing or dead, this news might reach other villages who might take us as weak and attack us. I can unleash Sasuke's full potential and he might even surpass Itachi or better yes Madara Uchiha, who could fight on par with bijus.

At this point, Danzo was salivating on the possibility of a new weapon, while Koharu and Homura were nodding.

Hiruzen: Get out and if I see the three of you anywhere near him, I will

Hiruzen: I will tell him and all the village the real reason that Uchihas were massacred.

*shock* *Gasp*

Hiruzen: Get out, I want loyal people who have the will of fire, not some emotional robots who are loyal to you.

The three turn around and leave while Danzo was scowling *just you wait I will have that seat*

As soon as they leave, Hirzuzen sighs: I am too old for this

and sits down. He looks at the photo his dead successor: Minato I am sorry for what happened to Naruto

I wish I was a more competent leader.

He deactivates the silencing seal and shouts: Shikuka please come in

Shikaku walks in and takes his former seat.

Hiruzen: I am sorry for interrupting our previous session can you please continue

Shikaku becomes serious: No problem Lord Hokage, I was comparing the Anbu reports and our village income while also some pressing issues.

Hiruzen: Yes Continue

Shikaku: The problem is the Anbu has been reporting the number of bandits and their hideouts. Someone has been specifically wiping them out and going as far as burning them. While this may be a good thing but some merchants have caught on this news somehow. So they have stopped asking for protection escorts.

Hiruzen: Have we found out who is it?

Shikaku: No, we had searched around, while also asked the people of Land of Wave, they didn't know either.

Hiruzen puts a hand on his beard and strokes it: This is not the only problem is it?

Shikaku: No, in area of land of fire and its vicinities, ninjas are being found dead from different villages, not a lot but there is a pattern there.

Hiruzen: If we go on from our previous conversation, then the only ninjas dead would be chunins or genins.

Shikaku: Indeed Lord Professor. This might become troublesome in the future.

Hiruzen rubs his forehead: Yes the other Villages might take this as a sign for war, as Land of Fire comes under our jurisdiction

Hiruzen: Anbu

Black silhouette flickers in front and kneels

Hiruzen: send some genins and chunins and tail them and capture anyone who attacks them.

also, send someone to get Jiraya.

Anbu: Hai Hokage-sama

Hiruzen: You can leave Shikaku.
