Chapter 90 - Konoha
Summary of the previous chapter:
Makoto tells Max, that her daughter's name is Uchiha Mikoto. Max is surprised, as he didn't think that Mikoto's father is Makoto. Makoto if he died in this place, Mikoto would be Fugaku's future wife, since he had to fulfill the tradition of his Clan. Makoto asks Max again if he can get his daughter out of Konoha, since he didn't want her to be in the lion's den, and Max accepts the request. Makoto gained Max's trust, and Max shows him true face of him. The two Uchiha are shocked, as Max is too young. The other Uchiha introduces himself, as Uchiha Yemon. Makoto is shocked by the transformation technique, as he is identical to the transformed person, and no one would recognize him. Makoto had made up hin mind when he looked at Max's true face. Max asks the two Uchiha to burn the whole place down to remove any traces. Max places the insects of the Aburame Clan in a Genjutsu and shows him the memory that he must see the other party. Max, Makoto, and Yemon leave the place, heading to Konoha. In Konoha, the Aburame Clan ninja looked at the memories, and was shocked, since three Uchiha had survived in the fight, and went to inform Danzo. Danzo receives the report and heads to Hiruzen to give him the report. In another place, a young woman who was worried about her father appears, and it is Uchiha Mikoto.

Continuation...
[October 18, 14 A.N.N.]
Time flies, several days have passed, since the fight with the ninjas of Kirigakure, and Sunagakure.
During all this time, we headed to Konoha, but by the longest and slowest route, since we wanted to kill time, and mislead the enemy.
When we were traveling, I had detected several presences, from far away, and we had diverted, as we did not want to fight.
During these days I had been talking with Makoto and Yemon, and I can assure you that they are great people, and trustworthy.
These days I had understood, because the Uchiha is feared, since they have the characteristic of being cold and serious people, but once you earn their trust they will give everything, just to help you, or protect you.
Something was very strange on the trip, during the trip, Makoto told me about his daughter, and it was, as if he was being advertised.
Thanks to Makoto, I knew that Mikoto is extremely strong, since she had reached the Low Jounin level at his age.
When Makoto told me that Mikoto was Low Jounin level, I wasn't that surprised, since Itachi at 13 years old had reached the pinnacle of Jounin, and when he awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, he had already surpassed his level.
Makoto told me that his daughter wanted to come on this mission, but she had forbidden her because she had felt that it would be dangerous, that's why she hadn't come.
Makoto also told me about a young prodigy from his Clan, and it's Uchiha Fugaku, he stood out from other youngsters and is 7 years older than his daughter.
Fugaku was also going to come on this mission, but someone from the Clan had to stay behind to take care of it, since all the elders were on this mission.
With what Makoto had told me, I was able to analyze; if Makoto died on this mission, Fugaku was going to be responsible for his Clan, as he had been tasked with the Clan when they had gone on this mission.
Also, Fugaku is the most talented person in the Uchiha Clan; and most of the Uchiha in Konoha, are just young, and people who had not awakened the Sharingan.
If Makoto's group had died, the Uchiha Clan would be weakened, and there would only be young people left running the Clan, and I knew why they were so naive to think of going against all of Konoha.
The day after we were traveling, he had sent a message to the Wood Clones (Ricardo, Yagami, Tony, and Aizen), that I will be away for a while, and that they take over the Empire.
When we were walking, at a slow pace, I took care of protecting the two Uchiha, since Makoto is injured because of me, and was helped by Yemon.
One of the plans is when we get to Konoha, Makoto will tell them that he will not be able to fight for a while, because he needs to recover, and with this, he will avoid participating in the war, since he will be managing the Clan, and recovering.
We found ourselves walking calmly, we were not in such a hurry, since it would have been a problem if we disappeared for more than a month.
At this moment, I heard Makoto's voice, and I looked in his direction
"Ryu!... We're close to Konoha." - Makoto said calmly.
"Okay" - I spoke calmly, as we continued walking, without stopping.
Ryu's name is from the original person since he was called Uchiha Ryu, and since he was using his identity, I had to get used to his name, and I had told them not to use my name.
We were walking, through a wooded place, full of trees, and vegetation, we had not gone along the route of the busy road, since we did not want to be seen, by other people, because Danzo was not going to allow us to reach Konoha.
After a while, when we were walking, from far away I could feel several presences, and they had not noticed us.
"We are, to arrive." – I spoke calmly, while I concentrated, since I wanted to know if they are ninjas from Root or ninjas from Konoha.
"..." Makoto and Yemon just nodded at me, since they knew I'm a sensor.
The two Uchihas kept increasing their surprise at me, because I had many abilities that other people wish they had, and in their eyes, I'm a mystery.
When we were close, I braced myself, since I didn't know who the other party is, whether they are the Danzo people or Shinobis who don't know anything.
We continue walking, since there is little to go, and the village of Konoha is in front of this group, we could not go by another route.
When we got ready, the other party noticed our presence, and immediately, they surrounded us.
We couldn't hide our presence near Konoha, as they can be interpreted as enemies, and that's the last thing we want.
When I looked ahead, I could immediately recognize that they are Root ninjas from Danzo's organization.
They were standing without making a reason because they are looking for a justification to fight, since we were close to Konoha, and if we fight in this place, it would attract the attention of the town.
Yemon was holding Makoto, since he is injured, and I was in front of them, protecting his safety, and I thought 'Will they dare to fight near Konoha?'
At this time, a Root ninja approached and began to speak.
"Who are they...and...why have they come for this place?" – The Root Ninja said in a monotone, and the other Root Ninjas began to prepare.
"I am the patriarch of the Uchiha clan... My name is Uchiha Makoto!... we have fulfilled the Hokage's mission, and we are back." – Makoto said, and continued with a cold tone - "Why are you stopping us?!!"
We had to keep a low profile since Konoha must not find out that Makoto knows about his plan to exterminate the Uchiha Clan. Also, if they found out, it would be more dangerous for them.
The Root ninja kept silent, and just looked at us, since they couldn't fight in this place, and when he was going to speak, footsteps were heard, and more ninjas are coming in this direction.
At this moment, many ninjas appeared, and Anbu's, and they began to surround everyone and looked at the situation that was happening, and only one began to walk slowly, where we were.
The one who started walking, is the strongest of this group, as he was at the Kage-Elite level, he had an Anbu suit with a mask that hid his face, but you could see his silver hair.
'Ohh...it's Hatake Sakumo...Kakashi's father' I thought, as I looked at the person who was approaching and continued. 'I can't sense any killing intent from him...or, is he hiding it well?'
"What happens here?" – Hatake Sakumo said with a serious tone, while he looked at the Root ninja, because he had blocked our way, and they were preparing to fight. Also, our group looked injured, so he immediately intervened.
"We are only receiving orders, to protect this place, and that nobody passes..." – said the Root Ninja, he was interrupted when he was speaking.
"Who gave you the order?!" - Sakumo said with a serious tone, while he looked at the ninja, since they were preventing someone from his village from reaching the town safely, and they had stopped him in this place.
"..." Root ninja fell silent and looked at Sakumo.
"Answer!... it's an order" – Sakumo said with a cold tone, since the other party was silent.
Sakumo knew Makoto, so when he saw him injured, and only the three of them came, he realized that there had been a tragedy on this mission.
At this time, a hoarse, gloomy voice was heard - "I gave the order!", and a man who could only see a single eye appeared.
"I repeat it... Danzo!... Who gave you the order?" - Sakumo said, without any fear, he didn't care about Danzo's presence, and immediately questioned him.
"The Hokage" – Shimura Danzo said with his hoarse voice, and he hadn't liked being questioned.
'Now I understand... the reason... because Danzo hated Kakashi's father, it's because Sakumo can question him... and Danzo doesn't like that...' I thought while watching the show. At all times my guard was up, and my hand was on the hilt of my sword.
At this time, more ninjas started to appear, since there were too many in this place, and from one moment to another, many ninjas were surrounding this place.
"..." When Sakumo was going to question Danzo, a person appeared, and interrupted the discussion.
The one who had appeared had a white cloak, with a Fire Kanji, and represented the Hokage.
When everyone saw the Hokage appear, they immediately saluted.
"Hokage-same!"
"Rest!" – Hiruzen said, and then he looked at us, since we hadn't greeted him, because the two Uchiha were injured; and I was in a calm position while watching the whole event.
"Hello, are you alright?" – Hiruzen said with a worried tone, it's like a father seeing his children after years.
'If he hadn't known his background, he would have believed him that he is worried about us.' I thought when Hiruzen had spoken, since he had hidden his true intentions very well.
"Yes, Hokage-sama... we were attacked... we just want to rest." – Makoto said with a calm tone and hid her feelings.
"Well... you can go rest... after you rest you can give me the report" – Hiruzen said with a worried tone, but deep down you could feel the anger, and he had hidden it very well.
'How good I can feel the emotions, or else I would be deceived by him.' I thought and continued 'For the first time I meet the old man, but he immediately disliked me... That old man must die.'
"Okay...excuse me." - Makoto said and looked at Yemon to continue.
"…" Yemon just nodded.
At all times I had remained silent while observing everything, and I could feel everyone's strength levels, and I thought 'Hiruzen is at the Near-Legend level, and Danzo is at the Kage-High level.', and I started to follow Makoto, and Yemon.
"..." Sakumo was silent ever, since the Hokage had come, and this was the same with Danzo.
'He has increased the strength of it.' - Hikaru thought when he had felt Makoto's strength, and rage began to grow inside him, no one had noticed in this place.
From far away, I could feel Hiruzen's hatred directed towards Makoto, and I thought 'Old man!...from my senses, you can't hide, and smiled.'.
After a while, I could see a big gate, and this is the entrance to the Konoha village, and I thought 'Konoha... we'll meet again but at a different time.'
"Ryu... let's go to the Clan and rest..." - Makoto said in a calm tone, as he was being helped by Yemon, and he recognized someone waiting at the gate of the village.
"..."
To be continued...
