Morning of October 11th
Four figures were lined up in the conference room of the Hokage Residence. The third Hokage, Hiruzen. Shimura Danzo from the Root. And Homura and Koharu from the Council.
"Kushina and her son are in the Hospital. They are not gravely injured, just tired. Minato gave his life to seal the Nine-Tails into the two of them. He saved the village."
Listening with a sour look, Danzo picked up where the former Hokage left off. "But Konoha took a devastating blow, the likes of which we didn't see even during the Great War."
"We need to rebuild immediately, the other villages might take this opportunity to attack." Homaru Commented
Hiruzen nodded slightly, and continued in a grave tone. "I was planning to make arrangements for that right away."
"And here, there is a condition I would very much like to see put in place." The right half of his head covered in bandages, Danzo's exposed left eye glittered cruelly. Hiruzen met this icy gaze silently, a question in his own eyes. "I want to move the residences of the Uchiha clan on the edge of the village," Danzo said.
"What?" Hiruzen glared at him, brow furrowed.
Danzo didn't flinch, but instead continued dispassionately. "You are aware that only the sharingan of the Uchiha clan can control Nine Tails."
"Are you saying it was an Uchiha who summoned Nine Tails?"
"I am," Danzo asserted, and Hiruzen held his breath. The two Councilors watched over the fierce back and forth with closed mouths. "The treatment of the Uchiha's during the Great War, Fugaku refused to comment when the Fourth was decided on. Dissatisfaction with the village has been growing among the Uchiha clan in recent years."
"I don't agree."
"Members of the Foundation have been looking carefully into the movement of the Uchiha's. It is a fact that the Uchiha's are dissatisfied."
"That's a long-standing-"
"That's not all." The self-assured Danzo cut Hiruzen off. "Those who lived through the Great War are beginning to despair that even a rare genius like 'Wicked Eye' Fugaku must resign himself to being the head of the Military Police Force. That disappointment with the village will someday become a serious dissatisfaction, and lead to an attack on Konoha."
"Still, that said, don't you think you're being a bit hasty in declaring the Nine Tails incident the fault of the Uchiha's? If it wasn't for the Uchiha gravely wounding the fox Minato might not have been able to seal the fox" He Commented
"This is not the kind of thing you can simply leave just because you have no positive proof, Hiruzen. Listen. The only thing that can control Nine Tails is the Uchiha sharingan and Kushina even reported that the Masked man had a Sharingan. That is a fact! For all you know they could have summoned it to earn prestige by defeating and get Fugaku into the 5th Hokage position"
Hiruzen faltered.
"At any rate don't forget they were ordered to not approach the beast and they disobeyed that is reason enough, we must gather the Uchiha clan together in one spot and push them to the edge of the village. And we should do it now, while we can do it in the name of town planning after Nine Tails attack."
Faced with the relentlessness of the man who embodied the darkness of the village, the other three could only remain silent.
Uchiha Clan Compound
As this meeting between the higher ups of the village was going on there was another one between the Uchiha clan.
Fugaku, Roku, Pakura and the 2 elders sat in a room together drinking tea. They hadn't gotten much sleep dealing with the destruction and problem in the village but they needed to discuss what had happened the night before.
Fugaku was the first to speak, "Roku and have a lot of question but i will keep it short, i don't need to now everything just who is this women " he glanced at Pakura, he had never seen her before and a random ninja appearing at such a dangerous time was worrying.
Roku glanced at Pakura and nodded, she took down her mask and turned to Fugaku, Fugaku eyes widen and jumped up.
