Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: Danzo Doesn’t Believe Us, Now It’s Story Time

[POV: 3rd Person]

[Scene: Hokage Office]

[Track Change: Naruto 'Konohamaru's Theme']

Minato looks at us, we nod, and he confirms that they can enter. Kushina entered boldly, surprising everyone but Hiruzen that she was in such a healthy state, while Uchiha Mikoto and Itachi, who is holding Sasuke, enter nervously. Kushina notices Renjiro and Asriel, and speaks loudly, almost yelling,

"Hey! You are the one who saved us! Thank you so much, I was worried I would never see my child grow up. With how busy Minato is I was worried Naruto would grow up to be like Asuma. Also what's this music?"

Hiruzen coughs, almost choking on his tobacco. Kushina notices but says nothing. She saw their relationship in all it's 'glory' when she got back to the village and stayed within the Sarutobi clan compound for shelter.

Asriel responded this time,

"Of course, it's what we are here for, I am glad you are safe. Apologies for not ensuring you got to a safehouse, we had to leave to help Lord Fourth. As for the music that's our doing, though it is just ambience caused by our presence."

Kushina said she didn't mind, and she was thankful they went to help. But the clan leaders noticed the change in voice from before and started connecting the dots on Hiruzen's words about two names, but one individual.

With Kushina's appearance, the atmosphere lightened significantly, this made Mikoto and Itachi feel more comfortable, even in a room full of important people. While they noticed Asriel's appearance, Kushina's behavior pushed any feeling of wrongness away, making them acknowledge what they saw.

With the arrival of both families, Renjiro asked Asriel to step aside for a moment, and said,

"Now that the families of the newborns are here, let us reintroduce ourselves once more. We are Renjiro and Asriel Otsutsuki-Dreemurr, we are brothers who share a body, but not a conscious. We are the adopted grandchildren of the Sage of the Six Paths and have been sent by him from the Pure Land to be the Guardians of the reincarnations of his two sons, Indra and Ashura."

Everyone froze. Nothing could be heard beyond the soft music. Danzo was the first to stand and speak.

"The grandchildren of the Sage of the Six Paths, yeah right, and I am the Daimyo!"

"You don't believe us?" Asriel said, somewhat peeved.

"Asriel some skepticism is natural, we haven't explained much about our origins have we? Alright, let's start there." Renjiro calmly said.

Renjiro explained the meeting with Hagoromo, with Asriel jumping in now and then, describing his character and personality. Later Renjiro explained the ancient history of the ninja world including the story of Kaguya Otsutsuki. Facts that could only be and were corroborated by Uchiha, Senju, and Hyuga clan records made the story credible.

He continued to explain that every major conflict in the ninja world was started by either the direct or indirect actions of a millennia old creature called Black Zetsu, who wants to revive Kaguya. He mentioned the stone plaque in the Uchiha compound, which can only be partially read by those possessing the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, was modified to speak not of the caution of recreating the Rinnegan, but instead, instructions on awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan, which could read further on how to control Tailed Beasts, awakening the Rinnegan, and a jutsu which would bring about Kaguya's revival.

He explained that Black Zetsu had been manipulating the reincarnations of Indra and Ashura for millennia to attempt to advance his plans.
