Naruto: The Way of the Great Lord
Chapter 28 The Massacre With a Smile
I Go Back to the Uchiha Plantation and Enter Dad's Study Room. Inside he was filling out reports, and other documents. He looked at me with a smile and then gestured for me to sit down. As I sat down, he looked at me and asked, "What's the matter Ichizo?"
"Dad, the time for me to stay in the Village is about to end. We must establish a Foundation that will allow me and the other members of the Uchiha clan to Grow and develop."
"What Do You Think?"
"I cannot make a village alone, nor can I allow the entire Uchiha clan to be uprooted and move across the entire continent. That's where you come in, I've filled out the list of Skilled Shinobi I need. You will go and persuade this shinobi using whatever means you have except power, It will also be used as a kind of advertisement for the Village. After that you and Mother will remain in the Hidden Leaves, Change will occur so that there is no more worry for the Uchiha. When the time comes I'll be back." I handed him a list of names I adhered to and he examined them closely.
"The names on the list are a collection of Clans and individuals from all the Great Nations. If I were you, I would start with the Hidden Fog, They are currently engaged in the Civil War which will lead to the extermination of many clans with the Kekkei Genkai and Kekkei Tota. This clan will be very important to my efforts, There is a saying that says "The bigger the Tree the stronger the roots". The New Village will be a Great Tree whose roots come from all directions."Ichizo paused for a moment asking the Maid to bring him some tea and continued. " My biggest priority is to make sure they know that their lives will change if they move on. The human element is the hardest to predict, some prefer to live in their country because change is scary, while others are ready to take over. Orochimaru will come with you to properly examine each individual, I do not want spies, and others with ill intentions infiltrated my village during the initial stages. You have to move quickly and make sure that this massive migration of personnel does not worry the heads of their respective countries.
"Alright Son. I knew this time would come but I didn't expect it to be this fast, I'd finish this, you'd be the Greatest Kage the World has ever seen." After he said that he came out of the Study Room leaving me alone in my mind.
Step by step everything will fall into place, and a bad plan is better than no plan at all. Is this gonna work? Maybe or maybe not, it all boils down to how good both are and the luck of the draw.

The days passed peacefully as we prepared for the task to come. Today is Hokage Day and the elders go to Daimyo Fire, to discuss the appointment of a new Hokage, Our task is not only to Eliminate Danzo but also to eliminate all Root Members except test subjects who have the Ability to use Lord First abilities. Shisui should be enough for the task.
Itachi and I met Third Master, we will be his "Supervisor" for this trip to Fire Daimyo.
"Hitotsu, Futatsu, thank you for your hard work." The Third Master said with a smile.
"The two seemed to have no qualifications to act as Hiruzen's guards." There was only one person who blatantly disrespected the Third Master in front of his subordinates.
"They smell fresh ASI and have a body that looks so weak that a gentle breeze will blow them away."
"Danzo, you have to do some research before you say nonsense. These were two of the 'Smiling Trios' that foiled the Hidden Stone Invasion, they were more than enough to handle any minor mishap." Lord Third said this with a sneer.
Danzo inspected the two Shinobi and when she saw the Blue Sharingan Spiraling in both of their eyes, her body stiffened. It was like he was peering into the deep Ocean, his Depth was nowhere to be found, his territory was uncharted, only a cold abyss was welcoming him. Every cell in his body shouted danger as if he was facing the true peak of the Food Chain, the true Predator Eyes.Danzo coughed to dispel the fear in his heart and said, "Let's see if they live up to their reputation." he then stepped into his carriage without a word.
Third Master Nodded to the two then went to his own carriage and with it the journey began.

Smoothly was the only way to describe the trip, they arrived at the meeting site at the loading and unloading walk towards the entrance.
Inside the room was a long table with Fire Daimyo sitting at the head of the table. His advisers lined up on the 5 seats to his right. Hokage and the elders greeted Daimyo and sat on the left side with Hokage in the Daimyo closet seat.
"Hiruzen, what's your reason for having a meeting today?" Daimyo Fire asked with a fan covering her mouth, her tone raised yet firm as she spoke.
"I'd like to resign as Hokage and I've told you about my successor, Minato Namikaze." When Hokage says that Danzo's face is changing, he doesn't even get a chance to run. Based on the relationship between Fire Daimyo and Hiruzen, any argument will now be futile.He prepares to put on a boxing glove and fight for his candidate, even before he can get into the ring, he was stepped on by Godzilla.
"Ho ho, Who was Famous as the Yellow Flash by the Hidden Stone Shinobi during their invasion?" Ask Daimyo
"Yes, even though he was young, his Knowledge of Jutsu as well as his mindset were already at a level where the Hidden Leaf would be in safe hands."
With Danzo's Fist listening to the conversation, all the arguments he could make were snapped left, right, and center. He could only make plans to complicate Minato's life when he returned, yet he had no idea Today would be his last.
