Chapter 109 : Passing the test.
🕑 Added 2021-09-27 19:42:56 +0000 UTC"I trust you" Said Fugaku with his usually stoic face, and at the same time, his Special guards along with the Anbu guarding around the area arrived to the office while heaving a sigh of relief when they found out that only some furniture was damaged and no one was harmed…
One of the Anbu, a man with spiky gray hair who had a distinctive Sharingan shining through the hole in his mask quickly analyzed the situation and noticed that the people in the room were staring in shock at Fugaku and wariness at the kid facing him…
So, to his surprise, his mind came to a terrifying conclusion 'Was it really this kid that released that terrifying killing intent?'
However, before he could confirm his doubts, one of the three special Hokage guards immediately arrived in front of Fugaku along with the other two and directly asked "Fifth Hokage-sama, is everything okay? We felt that a strong enemy might be around he-"
Before he could finish what he was saying, Fugaku cut him off and said "The situation's under control, return to your positions immediately"
The special guard shot a look at the destroyed office and was about to refute this order "But-"
However, he then saw the cold look in Fugaku's eyes and understood immediately that it wasn't the time to be hard-headed.
'Idiot, can't you read the mood at all tch' thought Kakashi before he quickly said "We will take our leave then, please call us if you need anything" and then he immediately left.
Fugaku nodded at him in appreciation, and before long, the rest of the Anbu followed after him along with the special guards…
With the distractions gone, everyone turned their attention to me and I took note of each and every single one of their expressions and how they were changing while waiting for what I was going to say next…
A smile couldn't help but break on my face, a genuine smile that made them wonder if they truly experienced that horrifying killing intent from the same person…
"I'm glad you trusted me, I understand your reasons to suspect my identity and they are reasonable, you would be stupid if you didn't think about them.
However, I can't expose my secrets, at least not now. However, I can help you put everything concerning this matter to rest" I said with a smile
"Please, I really trust you but I still want to put our minds at ease" Said Fugaku clearly offering me a chance not to explain myself to him, but to the village…
'Thank you…' I said in my mind while looking at Fugaku before I turned my attention to the people in the room that were looking at me suspiciously…
'Why's my father putting this much trust on Bakorio? It almost seems like he considers him…' Itachi's heart was suddenly filled with disappointment, something that escaped the notice of everyone in the room except for the one that understood him the most… Shisui!
"The reason you can trust me is simple, I have many people I care about in Konoha so I can't allow any harm to befall it…" I said but Shikaku shook his head and said
"This reason is very commendable, but this alone is not enough to offset the hidden danger you could pose"
I nodded at him "I understand, that's why I also made a plan to help the village"
A mastermind like Shikaku was immediately intrigued by how the village could be helped and the rest of the people in the room also felt the same including Itachi who cared deeply about the village so without hesitation Shikaku said
"Please elaborate more"
"Take a look at this" I said as I handed Fugaku a scroll while thinking 'your trust isn't going to go to waste my friend'
The people in the room were surprised at Fugaku directly accepting the scroll not suspecting it to contain any trap which made Itachi unconsciously use his Sharingan to quickly check it and heaved a sigh of relief when he found nothing suspicious about it.
However, Fugaku noticed this and shot him a cold glare which made him deactivate his Sharingan in disappointment…
'What's wrong with Itachi today' thought Fugaku before he turned his attention back to the scroll before his eyes suddenly widened, his stoic face breaking apart as he stood up from his seat
"Is this true?" said Fugaku already believing it to be true but still wanted to confirm it as he thought 'if the content of this scroll's true, it seems we barely avoided a huge disaster'
I calmly nodded at him with a serious look on my face, and the people in the room finally couldn't hold back their curiosity anymore so they asked
"What's wrong Fugaku?" asked Hiruzen, and with a slightly shaken hand, Fugaku didn't respond and simply handed the scroll that felt heavy to him who had an even more exaggerated reaction as he read through it along with Shikaku who broke out in a cold sweat and felt a fear he never felt before…
'I never thought we were digging our grave to such a degree, I really failed my duty as a military advisor and Jonin commander' Thought Shikaku with a heavy heart…
"This is no joke, are you sure of the content of this scroll?" Asked Hiruzen with a dark countenance that only appears when he's about to go to war.
And the answer he received was a simple "Yes"
Shisui's and Itachi's curiosity got ignited seeing the reactions of all these grownups so they tried to take a look at the scroll.
However, Hiruzen immediately closed it letting them only catching a glimpse of its title 'Konoha's destruction'
'What's all of this about?' thought Itachi as he shot his friend a wondering look but Shisui was as puzzled as him if not more as he gave the kid facing the current Hokage a deep look.
"This information cannot leave this room understood?" said Fugaku with a scary face while emanating a dangerous aura and everyone agreed with him immediately including the two clueless Uchiha geniuses…
"Itachi, Shisui, leave at once" ordered Fugaku.
Itachi and Shisui were elite so they didn't act childish and immediately left understanding that the situation was beyond them, and once they left, a heated discussion started concerning the content of the scroll.
I wrote this scroll yesterday and I included in it all the information I collected about the spies planted here by each hidden village as well as the consequences of Danzo's action if he truly forced the Uchiha to rebel and what would have happened if the other villages interfered at that point.
"Bakorio, how did you come across all this information?" asked Shikaku with a serious face.
"I told you, I can't disclose my secrets, but you can trust me, I only want what's good for the village, and I'm sure you already have an idea about the validity of this information, after all, some of them people mentioned are already suspected for being spies, but you just couldn't find proof of it, now however you have the evidence you need"
"It seems I really failed this village and almost caused its destruction…" said Hiruzen with a sigh and I couldn't agree more with what he said…
"You should handle this situation carefully, as for me, soon I will be leaving the village and hopefully I will bring with me a surprise" I said with a smile before I simply disappeared in a puff of smoke…
Fugaku looked at this for an instant and couldn't help but burst out laughing ' what Kotoamatsukami, what Amatsu-Mikaboshi (Fugaku's Mangekyo ability), that kid probably guessed our purpose from the start and he was testing me, I almost messed up again…'
Meanwhile, the people in the room simply stared in shock at just how easily they were all played….
