"Now time to change Konoha a bit."

Ryu: [Greetings everyone, I am Ryuji Senju Uchiha, and will be the defender of Sakumo.] I said looking at all present people.

Ryu: [Hatake-san I just have a simple question, please answer it with sincerity. *pause* If it was another team would you still protect them?]

Sakumo: [Of course, no matter who was on my team I would make the same decision.] with conviction, I just nodded at him with a smile.

Danzo: [As you all see, he admits that Konoha isn't his main loyalty.] while trying to contain his smirk. Some elders from Hyuga clan also supporting his claim.

Hyuga Elder: [As a royal clan and one of the most powerful clan in Konoha, we the Hyuga clan agree with the Danzo-dono.]

Ryu: [Protecting his companions was a mistake?]

Hyuga Elder: [He failed a mission that was of utmost importance for Konoha.]

Ryu: [Then why not send him and our legendary Sannin, 4 kage level should be good right? If it was an extreme important mission why send just 3 Jounin and Sakumo as Kage level?] the Elder frowned.

Hyuga Elder: [He has confidence in his skills, if not why accept such mission?]

Ryu: [Do you have the guts to question and reject a mission from your kage?]

Hyuga Elder: [I am sure the Hokage would agree if this mission was at fault, we shinobi are free.]

Ryu: [Oho is that so? You? Elder of the main branch, want to talk about freedom?] I smirked evilly with a dangerous light in my eyes, the clan heads seeing this knew that the Hyuga clan stepped into a trap.

Ryu: [Daimyo-dono, I thought that slavery in fire country is illegal and have a death penalty, is that true?] I asked still smirking. While the Hyuga main branch were as pale as their eyes.

Daimyo: [Yes, I abolish such monstrosity behavior, why you ask Ryuji-dono?] said with disgust.

Ryu: [Than, Care to explain to us how your clan seal work Hyuga-san?]

Hyuga Elder still pale responded: [Our caged seal work as a bloodline security seal, protecting us so that no one can steal our eyes.]

Danzo: [That's right, it keeps Konoha's Byakugan safe. If a side branch dies or is captured his eyes will be destroyed.] said complementing, while some clan heads nodded.

Ryu: [Soo, why just the side branch? Main branch can still be captured. Why they don't have it? And shouldn't Uchiha clan have it also? They don't seem to have a problem with it.]

Everyone froze at the question.

Tsunade: [For what I know your body will still be intact so they can study your bloodline.] questioned the use of the seal.

Ryu: [And for what I understand of seals your seal can inflict brain damage. Why would you put such seal in your own family? Or don't you consider side branch as family?] everyone become silent, then the Daimyo stood up with an angry face.

Daimyo: [Hokage-dono is this true? I made clear that slavery is a crime, why there is such seal? I want an investigation and remove this seal as fast as possible. Even if they are a Shinobi clan its clans' people are still under my command. One of my trusted aids will come and make sure this seal will be removed.] was angry beyond my expectations.

Hiruzen: [I will make sure to find all culprits my lord] said sweating.

Somewhat I can sense Hiashi and Hizashi with all the side branch gaze, filled with gratitude and respect.

{*Ding*

Hidden quest: completed

Free the Hyuga side branch from the caged seal

Reward: 20.000 Sp, Bloodline Potion}

Total System Points: 198.000 Sp.

{Bloodline potion: Increase bloodline purity}

Danzo was glaring at me with a hard gaze, also sending a bit of killing intent: [We should decide Sakumo Hatake's punishment.] He interrupted, and his minions the other two advisors nodded.

Ryu: [Calm down, I was defending, when the Hyuga clan rudely interrupted, it is still my turn.] said smirking.

Daimyo: [Very well, Ryuji-dono can continue.] still angry, but can say nothing more in front of the entire village.

"Time to use the 'Will of Fire' against yourself old Kage."

I looked at Hiruzen smiling, I saw that he is sweating even more now, seeing my glare.

Ryu: [Hokage-dono could you explain to me and the Village what is the will of fire?] while laughing inside.

Hiruzen was confused but still explained: [The will of fire is ....]

Hiruzen: […. a great tree …]

"I just need a little bit for answer, the old man explained after 30 minutes, and is still going." I thought amused.

[If Konoha was based on Shogi, our king should be its villagers.] finished with a smile.

The Villagers were amazed and started clapping and shouting praises at Hiruzen.

"This looks like a cult."

Ryu: [Alright, Thanks for the explanation Hokage-dono]

[Soo let me see if I understood, villagers are the king, Konoha's residents is the king, that must be protect, am I right?]

Hiruzen: [Absolutely] smiling.

Ryu: [Then what Sakumo have done wrong? His fellow teammates are Konoha citizens, he made sure to come home with them alive, their families and friends now have a brother, a father back home safe.]

[Sakumo won the war in Suna practically alone, saving who knows how many leaf ninjas, he finished the war with the Sannin. And because he almost gave his life to protect his friends he is being criticized.]

[Where is the will of fire? A fellow shinobi risked everything to make sure his teammate could have another day with their families.]

[And you three, I surely don't want to go to war with you as team members, if I risked my life to protect you in a mission and you point a finger to me after that, backstabbing me wouldn't be too farfetched.] I turn looking at his old 'teammates'.

Everyone becomes silent and stunned.

Ryu: [Do you want to know what I think of you, Sakumo?]

[Well not only you, Tsunade and Might Duy too. You all are examples, you are role models, you are heroes. Tsunade lost the majority of her clan and still move strong forward, she alongside my mother are, on my opinion the strongest kunoichis in the continent.] Tsunade had a smile but I could see tears forming in her eyes. Mom was smiling happily.

[You and Might Duy are also exceptional shinobi, and has strong sense of companionship, Duy-san even being clearly an Elite Jounin shinobi level in Taijutsu, because he can't use Chakra is still classified as a genin, because of this he was ridiculed and scorned but he still moved forward and never retaliated.]

Everyone was looking at me and then at Duy with awe and respect. Duy was stunned for a few seconds, I know he is happy I can hear him scream 'YOUTH' from here.

[Now fellow Shinobi and villagers, should Sakumo Hatake, White Fang of Konoha, Jounin Commander, a friend, a husband and father be condemned for doing the right thing? Is this what the will of fire entails? Sacrifice your comrades for the great good?]

Some Shinobi and villagers screamed and clapped theirs hand, giving their support to Sakumo.

Daimyo: [I also feel that, Sakumo-dono did the right thing losing such great leadership would be a waste, and now seeing Konoha's citizens agreeing I declare Shiroi Kiba a hero, OUR HERO!]

After the long speech, and the sudden question and the Daimyo's words those who were stunned woke up and started screaming.

[HE IS A HERO! SHIROI KIBA!]

[SHIROI KIBA]

Screams and screams idolizing Sakumo to no end. After a few minutes everyone calmed down and waited for the Daimyo.

Daimyo: [And is this Might Duy really an Elite Jounin?] curious.

Sayuri: [Yes, and a powerful one.] responded still in happy state.

Daimyo: [If Shi no Megami confirmed that, please make a promotion for him, it would be a waste to let him stay as genin.] the old Kage nodded dumbly.

After everyone calm down, I walked to mother's side.

Daimyo: [Now there is another matter for me to be addressed?] looking at the clan heads.

Kagami Uchiha: [My lord and Hokage-sama with the war, the Uchiha clan lost some valuable members of the police that participated, I would like to ask assistance to refill some spots.]

Danzo: [I have members from Anbu that can help maintaining law.]

"This old man, *sigh* he wants everything. Today I will just antagonize you."

Ryu: [Daimyo-dono, I would suggest people from different clans that should maximize our police force.]

Daimyo: [Ooo, what do you have in mind?]

Ryu: [Some members from Hyuga clan, should be perfect because of their eye powers. Inuzuka and Aburame for crime incidents and pursuit, and Yamanaka for questioning. Should be a perfect police force.]

Daimyo: [We would need a leading figure for this mixed new teams. The war is over. Why not Sakumo? What do you think? There is anyone against it?] all clan heads nodded; some were happy to win such good position.

Sakumo: [I would be honored Daimyo-dono.] bowing his head.

Daimyo: [Good, there are any more problems?]

I looked at Tsunade and nodded slight.

Tsunade: [I would like to create a medic squad, in the war we lost to much good shinobi, with this increase it would become safer for our squads to have at least one medic-nin.]

Danzo: [We don't have too much resources for new medic-nins, it would waste too much time, and….]

Ryu: [Daimyo-dono, I think I would be of great importance for our forces, to have a medic-nin, Tsunade was one of the main reasons that we won the war against Suna poison. Imagine a loss if we didn't have a kunoichi. And I would like to send more resources to Tsunade if needed.]

Daimyo was nodding: [You are absolutely right; I will send more money just for this project. My wife was saved by a medicine, I know the importance of such matter. I appoint Tsunade as Director and main Doctor. There is anything more that need to be addressed?] No one talked.

Daimyo: [Than this meeting is over.] he got up and was followed by some samurai as guards.

Everyone got up and started leaving, Sakumo past everyone, but as he got out, he was surprised by a smiling wife and young son.

Haruka: [We owe him another one.] still smiling

Kakashi: [Ryu-niisan was so cool.] was wearing a face mask like mine, he was happy even though just his half-closed eyes showed.

Sakumo: [He was impeccable, the Hospital and the mixed police should be great for the village.]

Ryu: [Now you have much more work to do.] I said while walking with Tsunade nearing Sakumo and his family.

Haruka: [Thank you, Ryu, you are really our family luck star.] said with tears in her eyes.

Ryu: [don't worry, Sakumo don't deserve such treatment after all shinobi that he saved. And I was forgetting, you should put Hizashi Hyuga as your second in command, he will be a great addition even though he is young. He should be able to take over the position later.] Sakumo hearing my suggestion smiled.

Tsunade: [And for me? What you recommend?] Was also curious.

Ryu: [I recommend adding noncombatant Hyuga, their Doujutsu should be good for this. And decrease in alcohol.]

Tsunade: [What a few drinks has to do with it. Ok but you will also help me.] said grinning.

Ryu: [Hey I already have the restaurant it will be too much work.] I tried to look as pitiful as I could.

Tsunade: [Your problem. Hahahahahaha] said walking away laughing out loud.

"I should find Shizune to be her assistant."

-Week later-

Kushina: [Hahahaha, I wish I wasn't in a mission; I would love to see that old war hawk face. It should have been awesome, 'ttebane'.] said a red head laughing.

Tsume: [Inuzuka clan as police, it doesn't sound bad. Captain Tsume from team Hell Hound.] nodding while looking forward.

Mikoto: [That was rare, Uchiha elders didn't say anything, I thought they would even refuse father's claim of help.] stunned but showing a small smile.

Minato: [The Hyuga clan didn't do anything to you?] Akemi just stayed silent near Minato.

Mikoto: [That's right is everything alright?] also with worried, as they mention this Shina also stopped laughing.

Ryu: [Two elders didn't take it silent, they come towards me themselves when I was getting out, I just beat them and give them to Sakumo, they are proud of their clan but their elders are weak as a newly appointed Chuunin.]

[Difficult was all the thanks that I received from branch side, even Hiashi come thank me, he really didn't like the treatment his brother was receiving.]

We talked a lot about the changes and we hope it would be for the best.
