45 - Sandaime's Headache - 3

And until now there is no results on investigation. The area were fights occurred is cleaned thoroughly and I can only think of one group of people who can do that. And as I know him, he won't take same action again, as he must have got information of me knowing about this incidents. Finally Uchihas was getting settled and this has to happen.

But there is one location which cause me issue. In this location, fighting sights only show 4 people fighting. 3 from Uchihas as they were patrolling, 1 person took them out and killed them. After this 10 persons disappearance, no new incidents happens but One group of Uchihas has started to get restless under one elder of their clan.

[Flashback Starts]

Before, 2 weeks ago, I heard knock on my door. 

"Enter."

I saw Fugaku entering.

"What happened Fugaku? Is your investigation going well?"

Fugaku: "No, Hokage sama. Out of 10 people, 7 gone missing one by one and in their case, as i told before, whole army of people hit them. Absurd one was last, only 1 person took out 3 Jonin class Uchihas silently. In Whole Knoha, Only You and Jiraiya sama is capable for achieving that. But we discarded that possibility, as you won't take that action and Jiraiya sama is on mission."

I nod.

"Continue"

Fugaku: "About 7 persons, they were assigned missions by your office, but last 3 men group mission was random. To check out people fighing in outskirts. They solved that incident. So we know that was natural incident. But after they were returning, in blank area, after sometime, it looked like they just vanished."

"Who do you think did this?"

Fugaku: "For first 7 people, I can think of only on group who is capable of doing this and that is Anbu. But this 7 people's are peace loving and supportive of Knoha and are people of Peace action. So i had another question, Why would Hokage sama orchestrate this type of killing?"

He looked at me. I know what he is trying to say. He knows this 7 killing is not done on my orders, but another group of Anbus. That bastard is only increasing my problems. Fugaku is not taking his name, as he knows, he doesn't have definitive proof. And this will only cause more issues.

"From now on you are sole leader of Uchiha police force. If mission assigned to your police force come from Hokage's office or said to given to you by Hokage, you can check it with me or deny if you want."

Fugaku knows why I am saying this.

Fugaku: "Thank you Hokage sama."

I nod. This solve issues which is caused by that bastard. 

"But what about 3 deaths."

Fugaku: "That I can't tell Hokage sama. Even Shikaku san and Anbu commander has issue in finding this person or thinking who might be responsible for this. Because of this incidents, another issue happened in clan."

"Another headache. What happened?"

Fugaku: "One group is started taking war path. Through their number is small but if this issues again happened, it can cause issues."

"Who is leader and what's strength of their number?"

Fugaku: "Group is lead by Uchiha Sadaharu, and 50 people in total. Out of which, 5 is Jonin and others are Chunin."

"Why is he doing this?"

Fugaku: "He is ambitious guys, but many people knows so not much joined and even us Uchihas are peace loving."

"I know. Even i like to have 1 good night's sleep. Thank you for informing this. Before we were at opposite, but worst come to worst, we need to prepare for another war. And Uchihas will be major part of it."

Fugaku nods on this.

Fugaku: "Should i continue investigation?"

"Yes. For the person who took out 3 jonins. That scares me more. [Fugaku nods on this.] For other incidents, I will be making sure, they won't happen again. Dismissed."

Fugaku leave the office. 

"Cat, call for elders for meeting. I want them here in 1 hour."

This is gonna troublesome. After 1 hours, 3 people entered room. 

"Anbu clear the room for now."

Koharu: "What happened Sarutobi?"

"I just got report about 10 missing Uchihas. About 7, I know who did it. For other 3, they were took out by 1 person. Don't know who he is but he took them out as silently as possible."

Homura: "Who took out first 7 persons?"

"A group of Anbu did this, and since it occurred within the village premises, I can be sure they are our village's Anbu."

Danzo: "Why would Anbu group go after them?"

"DON'T QUESTION MY INTELLIGENCE DANZO. OTHERWISE I WILL FORGOT YOU ARE MY FRIEND."

Homura and Koharu knew what's happening now.

"Why did you ordered attack on basically innocent people?"

Danzo: "They are not innocent. Do you seriously forgot how they were orchestrating coup until now? About Nine tails attack. I don't believe in them so I took action like this."

"And you made me your scapegoat. Because of you, one group of Uchihas has already gone on war path again. You have gone senile as you are aging. From now on root mission will go through Anbu commander. You won't be ordering anyone in my stead from now on."

Danzo: "You can't do this. I am doing this for betterment of Knoha."

"You are just increasing problems for me and Knoha. You even ordered strikes on people of Knoha. You can keep 10 associates to yourself. But otherwise all of root mission will go through Anbu commander. You should rejoice, I didn't disband it."

Danzo greeted his teeth and left the office.

Koharu: "You should go easy on him."

"Are you also gone senile?"

Koharu sighed and left office.

Homura: "The one group, which has gone on war path, is it large."

"No, but if incidents like this won't happen again, then i can take that this group will dissolve it itself. Danzo is only making me age faster."

Homura nodded and left.
