The Sharingan Hyuga

Chapter 51 - Leaving the Village

Meanwhile,

News of Danzo's death was already spread among the village but many low-level shinobi doesn't who he really is, so it didn't attract their attention much but all jonin or Anbu know about him.

Tsunade cursed while reading the reports "that little sh*t. I warned him not to be reckless. He went and done it now".

Shizune asked, "but we don't have any formal evidence". Shikaku replied "well, for now, he can be treated as a suspect. the cursed seal on root member's tongue gone. so, Danzo is dead for sure but there's no proof of his dead body anywhere.

There's a high chance he was teleported by Shuichi with HIraishin somewhere remote. So, unless we can get an official statement from Shuichi, we can only declare both of them as missing. but that's not the main point here. what should we do with the remaining root members?".

Shizune asked, "what do you think Nara san?". Shikaku replied "If you don't take control of them now, then they might choose a new leader amongst them. since it's an unofficial organisation, then it would pose lots of problems".

Tsunade thought for a while "hmm, pass a message to all of them that I'm going to make a new subdivision for Anbu. They will be directly under Hokage's orders. those who wished to be free can leave. But those who want to stay can stay and do their jobs as ordered by me. The new subdivision will be lead by Anbu vice commander".

Shikaku thought for a while and said: "It's a good plan Hokage sama". then Shizune asked "so, what should we do with Shuichi kun?". Tsunade replied "He is a wise kid. He won't just run away from the village just because he killed Danzo.

moreover, he won't wait for a whole month to kill him if he doesn't have sufficient evidence to prove Danzo guilty. But, he should have just captured him. No matter how evil Danzo is, he is still an Elder. without formal order, he can't kill him on his own.

let us wait for a while. He will probably cool off his own and come back. If he doesn't come back for one more week, I will formally issue a search party mission for him".

Two days later, at Hokage office

Tsunade was working late at night. Suddenly, A person appeared in front of him. When she saw him "Shuichi?".

he nodded "it's me Hokage sama". Tsunade "you are finally back. you brat, you know how much of a mess you made?".

He looked at her and said, "first, I want to talk to you alone". After Tsunade dismissing all of Anbu,

Shuichi asked, "Am I a wanted criminal now?". She shook her head "No, why would you be. There's no evidence that Danzo died for sure other than that root's cursed seal disappear. But why the hell did you do that? you only told me that you will investigate him and will bring me th evidence".

Shuichi thought "that damn creature. It almost made me believe for one second that Konoha will punish me".

She said "you are still a suspect for now. but anyway, now that you are here, you might have brought evidence to clear up your name right?".

Shuichi replied "before that, I want to ask two questions. I want nothing but the truth". "yes, what is it?".

He asked, "my first question is that if I pass you evidence, will it be made public?". When she heard that her face turned dark "Even if I want to, the other elders are teammates and close friends with Danzo.

They won't let his name tarnish in front of the village. The only reason I need them so that I can clear up anything they will try to blame you. If needed, I will just lie that I ordered you to assassinate Danzo if his crimes were sufficient".

He then asked, "my second question is that was the Third Hokage involved in the Uchiha massacre?".

She stiffened upon hearing his question "I'm not sure about that but The Third hokage was one of the wisest shinobi in the world. even if he wasn't involved, it's unlikely that he wasn't aware of it before".

Shuichi then spoke with a cold expression "yeah, I too thought of that. but anyway, Danzo is dead but his body is completely melted by my jutsu. as for my clearing name. Don't bother".

She frowned "what do you mean by that?". Shuichi replied, "two days ago, I was invited to join Akatsuki". Her face turned dark "Akatsuki? so. you planned to join them?".

He didn't answer her question and spoke: "I saw Dan Kato's death". She instantly rose from her seat.

Shuichi looked at her "there's a creature who was born from Madara Uchiha's will. It has the power to record the history or may what it saw. I'm not sure but It showed me the past two shinobi wars.

After seeing that I understand that the current system has been corrupted by selfish individuals. If I was bound to this village, then I can't make the world a better place. I'm not a hero. so, at the very least, I will make the world a better place for my two sisters and their future generations to live in.

I learned that there are many people like Danzo. Even if I kill everyone, there will be someone who will be born later because of their circ.u.mstances. This is the reason I'm going to join Akatsuki. Moreover, with me there, I can send you information if someone from the organisation going to attack Konoha. consider it as a spying mission".

Tsunade thought for a while and said "are you sure? you have so much future here". Shuichi smiled helplessly "My future already ended with my teammates' death. Even if I stayed here, I would probably regress myself like Kakashi sensei. I understand why he is like that.

Every time I'm here I will be filled with thoughts like I should have wished to remove Yakumo's seal before Chunin finals. I can't help but feel guilty for indirectly killing her. but I promised her that I won't blame myself.

So, I thought of running away. but when I saw Sai like that. I thought I should investigate Danzo. after that, you know what happened.

now, I found my goal. I don't have many friends. So, it's okay to leave. Although I should inform three people more. but anyway, I'll leave tonight. you can just announce me as a missing-nin".

Tsunade looked at this boy of 14 who was ready to sacrifice for his village with a hint of respect and said in her Hokage tone "Shuichi Hyuga, I'm assigning an S-rank mission to infiltrate Akatsuki. The mission will end when you decide to do so. you will be declared as a missing-nin in the first meeting. The mission will be a secret only known to be Hokage. you can mention it to your father. who knows if something happens to me in the future. There must be someone to reveal the truth".

Shuichi nodded and bowed "Thankyou Hogake sama for believing me". After saying that he disappeared from there.

She sighed "tomorrow meeting raise commotion once again. Even if Danzo isn't there to cause trouble those two geezers will throw a fit".
