Naruto - Minato Namikaze SI -
[Chapter Size: 2000 Words.]
Third Person POV
Konoha, Year 42.
...
...
Minato appeared atop the First Hokage's stone head in an instant, while Konoha was beginning to light up in various corners.
Konoha seemed quiet, far more than usual this night. Despite the lights, everything there felt like a grand illusion, while a pressure weighed down the air. The atmosphere felt like it was pushing Konoha down.
This would be a somber night, Minato knew that very well.
With a sigh, he first began to scan the entire village, wanting to identify everything, while still unnoticed by the village sensors guarding the barrier in the protection room, where several fuuinjutsu specialists were working.
Through his Haki, he could sense whether or not he was being detected, since he had entered the village using teleportation jutsu, the barrier had not been touched. And unlike the sensors, he truly had his Haki that scanned every inch of the whole village.
He could see where most of Konoha's ninjas were for the night... The Senju clan was packed with ninjas from many Anbu forces, making Minato deduce that they had been pulled from missions by the Land of Fire, precisely to be there.
It was too much. And not only that — there were even more Root ninjas spread across all the clans and engaged in conversations they were having with the leaders. Though there were three teams close to the other Anbu to capture Kushina.
Some plans were being prepared, while at the same time, no ninja had been mobilized to support him. In other words, half the clans had been subdued, which was a bit frustrating.
"Well, so be it...," Minato said with a smile, before disappearing, as he felt a gaze directed at him — the gaze of a Byakugan from kilometers away, but all it saw was the empty space he left atop Hashirama's head.
He quickly moved to another spot in the village, finding a blind spot where he could continue investigating using Haki. He clearly saw more than a hundred members of the Hyuuga clan monitoring the entire village.
"Even the Hyuuga clan too...," Minato remarked with an analytical look, before vanishing.
"What was that?" a Hyuuga clan ninja murmured.
"Did you see something?" another asked beside him.
"But I think I'm mistaken, man...," he said in the end, not having seen Minato. Just a slight spatial disturbance when he looked.
Minato was still lucky to have Haki, all these techniques were hidden from everyone. Not even those closest to him knew how they fully worked, after all, he wasn't one to show off in his more than 12 years in this world. He had always been cautious about keeping his fruits, Haki, and even many of his jutsus to use only when destroying an enemy.
And certainly, Danzou and Hiruzen would qualify him as a monster, if they knew he could have a technique no one else in the world could possess — his Haki could combine all the best qualities of the dōjutsu, without having a single special eye.
To foresee the future, to feel everything around without looking, to sense presences even when being watched, or even the emotions of living beings.
Observation Haki was a major cheat for a ninja.
In any case, Minato had completed his surveillance before disappearing again, reappearing in the underground of the Senju clan, protected by powerful seals, in front of Tsunade, who was caught off guard upon seeing him appear next to a clone that was sitting.
"So you came...", she said, raising her voice.
"So that means you probably killed them all, right?" she asked.
"Yes, most of them. But I admit your friend Orochimaru is pretty hard to kill. I fought him all afternoon and cut off his head several times, I think around 30 times...
But that damn snake keeps using substitution jutsu. It's very likely I'll need to use something that harms his spirit rather than his physical body..." Minato began to complain, and just hearing that, Tsunade was already frowning.
'This brat thinks fighting Orochimaru is like a walk in the park?'
She couldn't help but think, unaware of Minato's next words, which would shock her even more.
"I ended up leaving him there, to be surrounded by all the furious and hate-filled Suna ninjas after seeing a single Konoha ninja following the disaster I caused...
After I... killed the Kazekage." Minato informed, while Tsunade immediately widened her eyes.
"What did you do?!" she exclaimed.
"I killed Suna's Kazekage. Now they must be completely lost, without a kage. That'll help as much as possible in the reinforcement against the Uzumakis." Minato said it naturally, while Tsunade displayed a rare expression of disbelief at what she was hearing from Minato.
He had done a job worthy of Sasori. Maybe Minato would meet him on the battlefield in the Land of Whirlpools.
"We'll discuss this later. Now to the current situation — we're completely surrounded."
Minato began pulling out a map of the village, quickly placing pins in specific points.
"There are Anbu ninjas from the Hokage and Root, and also the Hyuuga clan is working with the village leadership.
Besides that, half the clans we talked to haven't moved, and they're positioned in a way that they won't get involved... and I don't know how many of the others who are already preparing to fight will actually be on our side — or even become our enemies."
"I can only count on the Uchiha clan, which seems the most eager to act against the Hokage.
The others... we'll see when the time comes." Minato said, while Tsunade already sensed this would happen, despite a bit of anger, knowing he was right at that moment.
"Anyway, let's get ready. Is your brother ready?" Minato asked.
"Yes. Nawaki's been preparing all day. You just have to pull him in."
She said, while Minato sat down, looking at the other clone he had kept in the village all day, focused.
There, through the space-time jutsu, he would bring Nawaki, Hanabi, her grandfather, and also Tsuna and Mikoto.
Leaving those who wouldn't fight safe and allowing them all to have a conversation together.
Minato quickly made a seal and pulled Nawaki. He looked slightly surprised as he faced Minato, then smiled.
"Are you okay?" he asked immediately.
"Well, that was expected... he killed a Kage." Tsunade answered before Minato could.
"A Kage?!" Nawaki murmured, shocked.
"Anyway, stay quiet, I'm going to summon the others now." Minato said.
He then pulled Tsuna and Mikoto in front of him using the seal. Mikoto was surprised, quickly looking at Minato and smiling.
"Minato! You're finally here!"
She grabbed him, hugging him tightly, and kissed him.
She pulled back a little and looked at Mikoto.
"How are you?" she asked.
"My eyes still sting a bit, but I'll be fine.
Minato... it's a shame I won't be able to help you."
She murmured, staring motionless at the ground.
Minato shook his head.
"Listen, silly girl. The village won't be a problem to deal with."
Minato said and turned to Tsuna.
"How's Kushina? There are at least 200 ninjas surrounding her by the main clan — did you speak with her?" Minato asked.
"She's fine. Very focused, waiting for them to make their move."
"Great. We just need to move Hanabi and her grandfather here now."
He said, looking at the clone.
In the next moment, Hanabi — his love — appeared, catching him by surprise, a normal reaction.
Hanabi moved as soon as she saw him, and she threw herself into his arms, which he returned.
"Are you sure this isn't dangerous?"
The older man asked, cautiously.
"We're doing this for your safety. We don't want you to be used as hostages."
In any case, Minato pulled the channel again.
Minato looked at each of them — this small group would be the strength of the Senju clan.
"Now, just listen to my plan."
"Well, I need you to take care of the clan when they start their attack. I'm sure Kushina will deal with most of them.
Tsuna will help her as well. Meanwhile, I'll go hunt Danzou directly — his security isn't good at the moment and it's a chance to eliminate him."
Minato declared.
"Kill him?" Tsunade couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, finally feeling exactly what she wanted to do.
Even Nawaki looked disappointed at not being the one to get his revenge.
"Danzou is someone who has to be eliminated once and for all.
He has too many contacts and too much influence, he'll do anything to escape punishment.
So, I'd rather take the responsibility myself, even if it gets me expelled from the village or branded a traitor.
But I will eliminate that guy — ironically, for the good of Konoha."
Minato declared.
"You know I wanted a piece of him," Nawaki commented.
"Yeah, I figured you did.
But don't worry, I'll handle him.
So, wait for a signal. When a massive explosion happens, or when the ninjas around us start to attack — that's when we begin, understood?"
Minato said.
Everyone responded, while he was about to move Nawaki and Tsuna. Hanabi grabbed his arm.
"Let me fight too," she asked.
Minato looked at her.
"Alright," was all he said.
Quickly, he closed another hand seal, and Nawaki, Tsunade, and Hanabi vanished from the scene into the middle of the Senju clan.
Only Mikoto, his clone, Hanabi's grandfather, and Tsunade, who was still avoiding the battle, remained.
The sensors outside could sense a disturbance.
They felt the Senju clan members disappearing and reappearing out of nowhere, and grew worried.
"This is strange... What should we do?" — one of them asked.
"Inform the Hokage about this.
They're teleporting.
That means the Yellow Flash of Konoha is alive,"
the squad leader swallowed hard.
Minato changed his clothes right there in hiding, putting on a black outfit instead of the white Anbu uniform.
He tightened everything he needed, and his sword rested at his waist.
At last, Minato took action.
He appeared in the closest place to where he had left his seal near the entrance to Root.
He quickly advanced through the forest and would start right there, spotting a small cabin that marked Danzou's hidden entrance, while Minato could already feel the massive facility beneath him.
As he had already made his intentions clear in Suna:
he wouldn't be holding back here either.
So, he quickly entered, punching the door and destroying the entrance with his Haki-covered fist, making a loud crash as he invaded the place — though he didn't draw much attention from outside since Minato had already taken down the guards.
Danzou stood still, surrounded by more than twenty ninjas he had handpicked for his protection.
They didn't know how the enemy would act in Konoha or how many they really were, but it seemed like it would be an overwhelming victory for them.
Yet they were surprised by the crash coming from outside.
Danzou looked up, a cautious tone settling in his voice.
"What is that?" he murmured, as his face began to darken.
