Chapter 22: Aftermath

After hardening the hair on my tail to pluck out Danzo's eye, Minato and the Sandaime realized that the eye was also a Sharingan. I wiped my tail as best as I could and used my Ki to burn off the rest. As if looking down on them I stare at the shocked expressions of the Hokages. Minato snaps out of it first and the Sandaime follows as well.

Minato: What have you done Sage-kun?

Sandaime: He was an elder of the village and you just came in here ended him and his subordinates.

Sage: I didn't kill all of them, just the ones here and the ones that attacked me. But I see you have no qualms blaming me for this but not for this piece of shits atrocities. And to answer your question Minato-nii, I did what I told you was going to happen if you failed to keep that worm in check.

Minato: What do you mean?

Sage: (In an angry tone) I warned you that Danzo was up to something, I warned you to keep him away from my family, but you are telling me you don't understand what I mean. (The cavern shook as I talked)

Sandaime: Danzo may mot have gone about it the right way but what he has done is for the village.

Sage: SHUT THE FUCK UP! I'm tired of hearing you defend him when he is clearly beyond any redemption. He attacked my mother when she is with child, we are a part of the Sarutobi clan are we not? Is it not your fucking duty as the head to find out who attacked her? All his actions are in turn your actions Sandaime.

Sandaime: I knew nothing of anything Danzo has done.

Sage: Are you senile? Have you only been a fucking figurehead all this time? It's not that you didn't know, it's that you refused to know. As Hokage you didn't find it weird that classified information always leaked out to the citizens? The reason half the village looked at Naruto in disdain was Danzo. The reason the Ichiha was wiped out was Danzo. I already knew if I became too powerful I would eventually be targeted by him so I warned Minato-nii before anything happened but my warnings came upon deaf ears. This is simply the result of negligence from the both of you.

Minato: (Clearly looking regretful) I'm sorry Sage-kun. I should've taken your warnings to heart. Every time I looked into your claims about Danzo it came back with no results. I didn't know he would be so treacherous.

Sage: Do you have anything to say Sandaime?

Sandaime: Danzo was a friend for a long time I turned a blind eye to his actions for too long. Too even attack my clansman, what a fool I've been. (Said with a painful remorse)

Sage: If I had not taken care of the Kyubi that night and told Minato-nii to keep quiet about it and told people that it was a Sarutobi clan summon, I would have been in Danzo's eyes much sooner. From what I am sensing from that arm will cause you more panic though.

I retract my aura and turn back to normal. Good thing I swiped the vial of blood that Sanzo held before it was crushed. The fact that I held him down, ripped off his arm and plucked out the right eye, he had no chance to use Izanagi. Not to mention none of the eyes were exposed until they were off his body anyway. I also told Minato to test the blood on the vial to prove my claim.

Sage: Minato-nii contact me when you have that arm and blood analyzed. Also Minato-nii and Sandaime, I will ask you in all seriousness. Don't you want Konoha to rule the world? This option will always be up for grabs. You don't need to answer me now or you can put it on hold. But let me know when you do decide. I'm going home to check on my mother.

Minato: Alright Sage-kun. I will. Please, give your parents my regards.

Sandaime: I will drop by later to give them my apologies.

I nodded and teleported to my apartment to clean myself up before going to my parents house. I arrived, my father opened the door. I saw my mother she healed up nice. I explained what happened and where I went. They thought about and at first were against me killing a village elder but when I explained what he has done what he was up to they calmed down. They were even proud of me by the end of the conversation. Now I just have to wait for the results of what I already know, that the cells in Danzo's arm are from the Shodaime and if it wasn't obvious, the eyes were from the Uchiha clan.

Since I've been going on missions and cook for myself most of the time I became quite the cook. I've gathered spices, garnishes and herbs from all the lands I've visited so I offered to cook for my parents. After dinner I told my mother to get checked again tomorrow and this time I will escort her, I will carry her if I have to.
