8 Chapter 8

Inside Uchiha Compound, Konohagakure

What they saw when they reached the Uchiha clan compound was horrific. There were dead people all around. Naruto went directly to his home just to see it burnt to the ground without anybody in it. He was extremely angry. Who would do this? Where was his mother? What was his father doing?

Just as he thought about his father, Izuna came in front of the house. He was shivering. He screamed, "No…." and fell to his knees crying. Naruto asked his father why he was crying and where his mother was.

Izuna didn't answer his question. Naruto didn't need to know. Izuna would tell him when the time came. Menma just came. He didn't know what had happened either. He didn't need to know what had happened. Izuna asked Naruto and Menma to go help Sasuke and Mito. Izuna had sensed that Kyukyoyu's chakra had stopped. He wanted to make sure that he was wrong and even if he was right he would use rinne rebirth to bring her back to life, but her body wasn't to be found, even her ashes. She was burnt using amateresu. He wanted to kill the person who had done this to his wife.

Meanwhile, Naruto and Menma reached Sasuke and Mito who were crying over the bodies of their parents. Naruto understood why and he also sort of understood why his father was crying. Menma also understood everything now. He might have been an idiot at times but he understood this kind of stuff, most of the times. Itachi just showed up right over there and said to the four of them, "I see you have seen the bodies of my parents, Sasuke, Mito, Naruto, Menma. In case you don't know I was the one who killed Shisui. Let me show you how,"

Saying so, Itachi used a genjustsu to show how he had killed off Shisui in a horrific and inhumane manner after taking out Shisui's eyes, in hopes that they would evolve their eyes. Then said, "Hate me all you want and when you are of my level and have the same eyes as me, come try to kill me."

Naruto was infuriated at this. He asked, "Were you the one to kill my mother?" in a way that made a part of Itachi creep out.

Itachi said, "Don't even get me started on that. Yes, it was me who killed your mother. Try to kill me if you can" and laughed.

Naruto clearly lost his temper. Itachi saw his eyes. They weren't the choku tome mangekyou sharingan, they were the Rinnegan. He had succeeded in making at least one of his siblings/pseudo siblings better than what they were. Naruto straightaway had a bright blue lightning armour and bright orange fire armour enveloping him. He had the Rikudo/ Six paths symbol on both sides now. He was now a sage of six paths with his Rinnegan and current prowess. All of a sudden Itachi was being stabbed by Naruto. Naruto had teleported directly to Itachi. Itachi needed to save himself. He used his crows got away from there. Naruto could not control his anger and his chakra blasted all of a sudden but fortunately didn't cause any damage because of the shields that Izuna had put up. This blast injured all the four of them and the genjutsu which Itachi had used had its aftereffects as well.

Izuna came straightaway. He took Naruto, Menma, Mito and Sasuke to Konoha hospital.

A few hours later, a ROOT base, deep in Konoha forest

After taking the kids to the hospital, Izuna and the Sandaime were going to the ROOT base to kill Danzo. Despite the fact that his intentions were to protect thee village, this was not the way to go about it. Izuna had planned on beating the members of the coup to a pulp if they did not stop the coup, but Danzo had already killed the clan. There were other ways. There were always other ways to protect the village. Izuna wanted to kill Danzo right away. He and the sandaime reached the ROOT base soon.

Danzo had been waiting for them. If all went well and he got his way, he would still have a say in many important matters of the village.

Izuna said, "Danzo, if you surrender now, I wont kill you." Danzo had been closing his eyes. Izuna didn't know why but knowing Danzo, he was probably up to no good.

Danzo laughed and said, "And what if I don't surrender?"

Izuna was extremely angry. He said, "If you don't surrender, I will kill you."

Danzo said, "Let me see you try, grandson of Madara Uchiha."

Saying so, Danzo opened his eyes. Izuna was enraged upon seeing Danzo's eyes. They had the Rinnegan. He also had many Sharingan embedded in his right hand which was composed of the cells of Hashirama Senju, the first Hokage.

Izuna said, "I am so going to kill you, you bloody thief."

Danzo said, "Ohh, I am a bloody theif now." He laughed a little. His tone changed. He said in a stern manner, "Tell me how was it that your grandfather got the Rinnegan, Izuna, tell me."

Izuna got even more angry. Danzo laughed and said,"He got the rinnegan by thievery bloodier than what I have done."

Izuna just kept on getting angrier. He said in an extremely angry voice, "Ohhh...So now you know how my grandfather got the rinnegan huh? Well, let me tell you one thing, he was a hundred times the man you are right now and you have no right of telling that he was a thief. You will die the most painful death ever."

The sandaime as though he was pitying Danzo said, "No, Izuna. Danzo deserves a second chance. Though his methods were wrong his intentions were noble. All he did was protect the village. Instead of killing him, disband his foundation, the ROOT ANBU. That is a better choice. Trust me Izuna."

Danzo laughed loud. Izuna heard the laughter of success in Danzo's laugh. It was clear to Izuna that Danzo had placed the sandaime in a genjutsu. Izuna scowled in anger and said, "You have gone too far Danzo. I will give you the most painful death you can imagine." Saying so, Izuna manifested a bright blue lightning armor around himself, then a stronger bright yellow fire armor with it. The sandaime immediately came in front of Izuna, blocking him and said, "Stop. It is for the betterment of the village that Danzo should survive."

Izuna said, "Looks like I will have to deal with you first Sandaime sama. Forgive me for this."

Saying so Izuna used Limbo Jailer to restrict the Sandaime Hokage. Danzo was extremely scared at what he was seeing. Izuna was using Limbo, something Danzo could not do, to remove the genjutsu from the sandaime's mind. Danzo knew that he was no match for both of them put together. He teleported as far as he could. Thanks to all the cloaking seals he had placed on himself, even Izuna would be unable to track him. He would stay in the shadows until the time arrived for him to resurface. That was the right thing o do according to him.

Meanwhile, Izuna removed the genjutsu from the sandaime and noticed that Danzo was nowhere in sight. He infused chakra, but he could not sense Danzo anywhere. Izuna screamed in anger and frustration. He was extremely angry because he could not get Danzo. He swore to himself that he would kill Danzo the instant Danzo was in range. Saruto had come to his senses. He said, "I am truly sorry Izuna. Because I was unable to keep away Danzo's genjutsu, we missed the chance to kill him. I hope you will be able to forgive me."

Izuna said, "It was not your fault Hokage sama. I won't spare Danzo the next time."

Saying so, the two left and headed back for Konoha.

Konoha Hospital, the next day

Itachi had henged/transformed into one of the doctors in Konoha hospital and come visited Izuna. He said in a sorry tone, "I didn't kill Kyokyuyu-sama."

Izuna answered sadly, "I know. You took the help of another person. Calls himself Madara Uchiha I believe."

Itachi became emotionless again and said, "Yes Hokage sama"

Izuna asked in a very serious tone, "Did you see anything about him, did you recognise his chakra signature?"

Itachi answered, "No, but he did have the same mangekyou sharingan as Kakashi."

Izuna said, "Do you know how to contact him?"

Itachi answered, "No. I just happened to see his mangekyou. Asked him who he was and he told he was Madara Uchiha. I just followed him ever since. He is extremely hard to track. The day I asked him for help, I just happened to recognise his chakra. Went and asked his help. He offered it. I took it."

Izuna said, "His chakra signature reminded me of one of Minato's deceased students, Obito. He was the one who caused the attack of the Kyuubi on Konoha. Anyways, I have a job for you. As of now because of what you did, you will be considered a criminal by most of the people but for the higher ups you are a spy for Konoha. You shall join the mercenary group Akatsuki and give us all the information you have gained from them. I took care of Danzo, tried to use genjutsu on me. Had the Rinnegan and Shisui's eye. He managed to escape but as of now, he is an SS class criminal throughout every nation. I shall take care of Sasuke and Mito. You need not worry about them. As for Naruto and Menma, what kind of a father lets his children be in trouble?"

Itachi said, "Fine Hokage-sama. How are we to communicate?"

Hearing this, Izuna tapped his index and middle finger of his right hand on Itachi's forehead and said, "Now a telepathic link has been created between me and you. It can be opened whenever we want. I will know if you have opened your end and you will know if I have opened my end. This way we can communicate. Now take your leave."

Itachi said, "Thank you Hoakage-sama," and left.

Sometime later, Naruto, Menma, Sasuke, and Mito woke up. Mito had manifested her mangekyou sharingan. Sasuke had still not manifested any form of eye.

Naruto woke up and first thing he asked Izuna was, "Did you kill Itachi?"

Izuna answered, "Well, not yet. Itachi managed to escape. He is most probably in a completely different part of the nation now. I have lost enough of my people today. I can't afford to lose more. We can send a search party after him later. First we need to have a funeral for all the dead and pray for their peace."
