The Sharingan Hyuga

Next day morning, All ninja of Konoha wearing black clothes gathered to mourn for Hokage as well for those who died in the invasion.

Each of them is silently standing and began to remember their memories with those have died especially Hiruzen Sarutobi who served the village as Hokage for decades. Almost everyone has one or two memories with late Hokage worth to remember for.

Even Shuichi was no exception for that. Several people are sad like Konohamaru, Asuma, Naruto etc... But there is one Hyuga Anbu who was crying silently in the shadows. She whispered "Sensei".

A day later,

Later in the council meeting, everyone was discussing who should be the next Hokage. As Danzo came forward for it, The clan heads suggested Jiraya name who came to the village a day before.

Danzo didn't try to use his manipulation as there is Hiashi in the room. Because of the respect, Hiashi normally wouldn't activate his Byakugan. But if he thinks something is wrong then the sharingan in his eye would be exposed and will find something is wrong with his arm.

As Jiraya is a pupil of the Third Hokage and one of the three legendary sannin, All elders and clan leaders were inclined towards him but He outrightly rejected the offer and said Tsunade was more qualified than him. After all, Not only she's a pupil of the Third Hokage like him. She was also the granddaughter of the First Hokage.

So, he asked them that he will bring her back and asked them to allow him to take Naruto with him.

Danzo immediately objected "He's Kyuubi's jinchuuriki. It's okay if he goes for a mission since the village will know his whereabouts. But the place where you are going doesn't have a specific location".

Hiashi replied "It doesn't matter since he will be with Jiraya. Isn't that enough? Moreover, we don't have rights on any shinobi. Only Hokage has that privilege. As for shinobi, Their Team leader still has some right. so, their permission is needed. So, Jiraya san, since there's no Hokage to ask permission, you need the consent of Naruto as well as permission of Team 7 leader Kakashi Hatake".

Danzo then asked "Ok, then. since I can't do anything about it. so, I will leave the matter alone. But there is another concern over here".

One of the elders asked, "What is it?". Danzo replied, "Team 15 leader Yugao Uzuki retired from shinobi forces yesterday".

Hiashi frowned but didn't say anything. Danzo continued "As you can see, Shuichi Hyuga who had completed 12 from the Scroll of Tasks should be promoted to Chunin by rules. But since there's no Hokage right now, we can't do that yet.

We also don't know when Jiraya would bring back Tsunade. But still, according to rules, A-Team must have four members. since the remaining three are still a genin, I recommend we need to choose someone to be their Team leader".

They murmured among themselves. Hiashi frowned "but, Shuichi is a chunin now. He can lead the team. They only need one more member".

An elder replied "But still he hasn't been promoted to chunin officially. He has no right to lead the team yet".

"Fine, then, who do you recommend?".

Danzo replied, "I will lead them myself".

Hiashi shouted in anger "No way". "Calm down Hiashi". "Danzo Shimura, I told you before. I will not send my son to root".

Danzo didn't get angry and replied "No, you misunderstood me Hiashi san. Shuichi won't enter root. He will belong to standard forces. After I heard his amazing Kenjutsu skills in Chunin finals, I'm interested in teaching my skills to him. With his Sharingan, he can easily learn my skills. You see I'm getting old. There are no worthy successors in my root. So, I want to become Team 15 Leader".

Hiashi looked at him seriously "A Hyuga doesn't need a thing such as swords". he shook his head "He doesn't need to. He can combine my skills with that unique technique he has".

One clan leader asked, "Then, what about that Kurama girl?".

Danzo replied "I found out that Sai was teaching her Fuinjutsu. It seems she's talented in it. so, I will teach her Fuinjutsu. So, is there any question?".

Hiashi gritted his teeth "No matter what you say, I won't let him learn from you". Danzo replied calmly "why? I already told you, he won't join root and he won't go into foundation training. I will only teach him Kenjustsu techniques. the boy is already 13. I don't think you should interfere with his path Hiashi san".

Koharu spoke "The Third Hokage used to praise his talent. He also told me that you are wasting half of his potential by banning him from learning ninjutsu".

The clan leaders murmured while Hiashi is feeling extreme frustration. "It is our clan matter. you don't have any say in this".

Danzo further said "We lost several strong shinobi just a while ago and we here see a Hyuga clan head who refused to let his son become a fine shinobi. Truthfully, He doesn't even belong to Hyuga entirely. Just like how he is a Hyuga, He is also an Uchiha.

What right you have to reject his potential coming from his Uchiha blood?.

we all know almost every Uchiha know at least Fire jutsu. Then, What right Hyuga clan have on an Uchiha blood?.

just because Uchiha clan is no more, It doesn't make it Hyuga clan's business. so, now the council will have a say in it. Aren't I right?".

Clan leaders murmur among themselves and one said: "Although, I don't want to say this. Danzo san has a point".

Then Homura said "That's right Hiashi san. If he doesn't want to learn, then that's acceptable. But if you are forcing him, then it's not okay with us". Hiashi was extremely angry "You.."

Danzo smirked lightly "Don't tell me you will make him quit his shinobi career just like how you threatened the Third Hokage that you will make him quit academy".

Danzo smiled while thinking "That's right. With no Hiruzen. there won't be anyone to stop me anymore. Now, before Tsunade returns, I need to do it quickly. Then, I just need to slowly change his views. I'm not in a rush.

If the reports I received are correct, then, his hypnotism is comparable to Itachi. with him in my hand, I can even take control of that Jinchuuriki. Hahaha. Orochimaru, your one good invasion bringing me tremendous benefits.

Later in the evening, Hiashi came home in frustration and almost yelled at Hanabi. "Father, What happened?".

Shuichi immediately appeared before Hanabi and covered her. "What did she do?".

Hiashi cursed "Damn it". He sat on a chair. Shuichi slowly went to him "father, just forgive Hana this time for whatever she has done. okay?".

"But Shu Nii, I didn't do anything". He immediately covered her mouth and whispered: "Be silent".

Hiashi sighed "It's not because of her. something happened at the council meeting. Your sensei Yugao Uzuki retired from shinobi career". "What?".

"And, it's been decided that Danzo Shimura will take in charge of Team 15 from now onwards".

Shuichi almost shouted in shock "What? how did that happen?".
