Chapter 5: 5. The Third Hokage

Yagami ran towards the village with his fastest speed. The village was very far from the borders and he had to stop for a while before to rest. He stopped near a stream as he drank some water. Yagami was stunned to see the resilience of Izuna as he muttered,

“All along the way, this kid only cried once and has been silent since then. The kid must be hungry but I have no way to feed him. I have to hurry up to the village and inform Fumiko about this news. Maybe he fell asleep from exhaustion or perhaps new-born infants tend to sleep more.”

Yagami gently stroked Izuna’s head as he went to the stream. He saw his reflection in the water. Yagami activated his Sharingan and he infused a bit more chakra in his eyes as the tomoes in his eyes changed to a shuriken pattern.

“So, this is the forbidden power of the Uchiha Clan achieved by the loss of loved ones. I would never wish for this power if it is granted in exchange for the life of your loved one.”

Yagami muttered as he closed his eyes and stopped infusing Chakra in his eyes. After resting for a while, he began to run towards Konoha.

He traveled tirelessly for another six hours and finally, Konoha appeared in his vision. He increased up his speed a notch as he was in a hurry to inform Hokage. He approached the Village but was blocked by two jounin guards.

Yagami activated his Sharingan as he forked out a Konoha identity. 

Upon seeing the Sharingan, the guards nodded and one of them said,

“Hurry up! The Hokage is waiting for you to report about the matter.”

Yagami nodded and hurriedly dashed towards the Hokage monument. He approached the Hokage monument and hurriedly ran towards Hokage’s office. One of the guards at the entrance told him,

“Hokage-sama had been expecting you.”

Yagami knocked on the door of Hokage’s office.

“Come in!”

A voice came from inside. Yagami twisted the knob of the door as he entered inside the room. A Konoha elder was discussing some matters with the Hokage. Yagami recognized the elder as Danzo Shimura of the root. Root was one of the hidden underground organizations of Konohagakure responsible for gathering intel and Danzo was its head. 

Danzo was a very known elder of the Village and was the teammate of the Third Hokage and was considered as one of the candidates for the seat of Hokage but he ultimately lost to Hiruzen Sarutobi who is the current Hokage.

The third Hokage nodded to Danzo as Danzo slowly walked away while gazing at Yagami.

----------

Izuna suddenly felt a chill run down his spine as felt like he was being stared by a hungry wolf. I was startled and anxiously looked around.

A shaggy black-haired middle-aged man with his right eye concealed in bandages was staring at me. He had a cane in his left hand and there was a scary X-marked scar on his chin. He wore a black, hooded trench coat and high- lengthed black ninja sandals.  His right arm was bandaged as it was tied with another bandage and hung from his neck.

‘Fuck! I am scared that’s Danzo for fuck’s sake. Why he staring at me as I owe him something. I must maintain my distance from him until I got strong enough.’

Hmm….

Danzo felt some movements from the baby in Yagami’s arm and he thought to himself,

‘I feel like this child is afraid of me.’

Danzo looked at himself and nodded, ‘I indeed look scary in this appearance. Guess I will go with this outfit for a while then.’

Izuna looked at the retreating back of Danzo as gears began to churn in his small brain.

‘Wait a sec! Danzo visited Hokage just right before the time uncle Yagami came to report intel and left as soon as possible. Also, I overheard Iwa Ninjas talking about a spy, there is definitely a connection.’

It didn’t take long for Izuna to figure out that his parents had been plotted against by Danzo. Rage consumed Izuna as he began to struggle in Yagami’s arms. 

Yagami was startled by Izuna’s sudden tantrum as he tried his best to appease Izuna. Izuna calmed after a while as he vowed to himself,

‘Danzo the day I get the confidence to kill you will be the day you breathe your last.’

Izuna knew Danzo wasn’t an easy opponent. Sasuke was able to beat Danzo just out of pure luck as he was holding back to fight against Tobi and was wary of any surprise attack from Tobi. Another factor was that Danzo was old at that time and wasn’t able to utilize hashirama’s cells skilfully. Although the current Danzo didn’t have Shisui’s Mangekyo he still had someone else’s Sharingan in his right eye. And guessing from the look of his right hand the arm of Shin Uchiha is yet to be transplanted which means Orochimaru had yet to experiment with Hasirama’s cells. 

Yagami began to report the mission’s details to Hokage as explained by all of the events including the sacrifice of Akira and Aiko and the possibility of a traitor in Konoha.

When Yagami was explaining to the Third Hokage about the mission, Izuna was staring at him curiously.

The Hokage had tan-skin and dark brown, spiky hairs and he had a small goatee to boot. The man was wearing a red full-length kimono which was tied using a white sash. The custom Hokage hat and a smoking pipe was placed on the table and he was attentively listening to Yagami

‘So, he is the incompetent Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi.’

Izuna had mixed feelings about Hiruzen from his description in anime and manga. Izuna had only one word to describe Third Hokage ‘hypocrite’. Yes, a hypocrite. Hiruzen was a hypocrite who appeared to withhold various values, will of fire, and shit! and presented himself as the light to the world but concocted many dark schemes with Danzo and many a time would ignore Danzo’s evil plots and even forgive Orochimaru for his crimes because he was there SENSEI!!

‘If this Hiruzen is the same as described in the manga and anime then he wouldn’t hesitate to add another person to his ‘need to kill list’. ‘

Hiruzen sighed when he heard about the possible deaths of Akira and Aiko as he consoled Yagami.

“Don’t worry the village will help to find the bodies of Akira and Aiko. If not then I wouldn’t be able to confront my late friend ‘Kagami’ after my death. You are Kagami’s son and uncle of this child, so I will place this child in your care.”

Yagami nodded tearfully as he departed from Hokage’s office. Hiruzen looked at the departing back of Yagami as he picked up his smoking pipe and began to smoke as he muttered,

‘I hope it was not you Danzo. Teacher Tobirama had already isolated the Uchihas and his actions may lead to unrest among Uchihas. After all who would like to get kicked despite their loyalty.’

Hiruzen had a headache as he thought about such matters. He took out a crystal ball from the drawer and began to channel his chakra into the ball. It was his hobby to peek at the new seedlings of the Konoha.

He soon spotted a yellow-haired fourteen years old kid in jounin vest training near Hokage. He nodded to himself a fine young seedling indeed. Jiraiya had done a really good job to raise such fine young shinobi. He got a headache as he remembered his disciple Orochimaru. 

Orochimaru was his candidate in line for the position of next Hokage but Orochimaru somehow was involved with Danzo in various things which made him worry. Shaking his head he continued peeking... Uhun!.... observing the young generation of Konoha.
