Naruto: The Way of the Great Lord
Chapter 6 Meeting the Third Master
It was hell. There were times when Itachi, Shisui, and myself Fainted or could barely continue but like the Devil Slave driver either Mother or Father refused to give us a break. Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, Kenjutsu, Genjutsu, Shurikenjutsu, Cakra Absorption Technique, True Cakra Flow Knowledge, Battle Tactics, Team Tactics, History of Clans and Great Nations, and 2 Great Ninja Wars. 1 And 1/2 Years of brutal torture by my Parents have made me surpass your everyday Genin on paper. That's more than I need but, there's a problem. To become a Genin when I was this young man, I had to see Lord Third.
This may sound easy but I guarantee it is not. Lord Third is a good man and everyone knows that, However, Danzo probably knows this and it is a big deal for 2 big reasons. 1) Itachi, Shisui and Myself are Uchiha. Lord Second is not the biggest fan of Uchiha because Madara and Danzo share the same preconceptions. 2)Itachi and I are 2 people and that's not really a problem in this Shinobi world. But the Two-Year-Old Uchiha who was about to become genin was bad news for Danzo that he heard in his head was only a descendant of Madara Uchiha.
Danzo is a small obstacle though. I am usually a quiet man but, there is a fine line between reason and madness, since my death, I am not afraid to cross that line to keep the security of what I consider valuable. He is the bad guy I will eventually get rid of and in the thing that makes his darkness light.
"The Power of Changing Everything" I said out loud what I was thinking.
"What?" Both Shisui and Itachi said the same thing, I understand why the two were so close at the event. Now that I have seen them firsthand, they practically always have the same wave.
"I've just been thinking out loud, In this world Power changes everything. Political power means nothing in the face of true power. Power is so terrifying even when they die their names are strong enough to make people do bad things just for the sake of a piece." I stopped and saw them both in front of me.
'We need Power, And the skills to protect not only ourselves but the World. Danzo, Orochimaru, Nagato or Pain are All Nothing before Madara. In Fact even Madara was nothing Before Kagura the so called Mother of Chakra. The Hokage is Small before the Might that can wipe away the world with a single Jutsu. After the War, I need to think out a proper plan.'
[I agree with your thoughts Ichizo and I will Plan accordingly with Quests that will boost the power of yourself and your team. I was Created to help you stay alive.]
"Thank you" Once again I say out loud what I was thinking.
"For what?" Again these two say at the same time. Is itachi aren't we Twins? Because it feels like you and Shisui are the Twins here.
"You guys have to help me convince Father to get a meeting with the Hokage so we can be Genin"
Both of them Tense up when I say that. I honestly can't blame them he is scary. There was a time during training when we thought we could just use our Sharingan during Shurikenjutsu training and he basically burned down half the forest because he said not to use them. At that moment we felt the gap between a "Genin" and a Jonin and it was wide. Extremely Wide. My life is fundamentally a candle that this with more power can be extinguish on a whim. I Felt small and insignificant I'm sure Itachi and Shisui felt the same.
"Well he is pretty adamant on making us shinobi, he also said that he has nothing else to teach us experience and we cannot get experience from training, we need our own battles" Itachi says while looking at both of us extremely pale and unwilling.
"We have to do this together." I said this but don't let this fool you I am the most effected. Fear of that man has been fundamentally ingrained in my DNA its as much as a necessity as breathing and drinking water.
We each take a moment to look at each other and realize that we have to do it. He may want it for us but we have to cross the finish line ourselves. We get up and make our way to fathers home office were he sitting behind his desk and drinking tea while reading a book.
"You said it, You are the Next Head of the Family, you have all the good graces of Dad." I told Itachi that it then looked like he died a little inside. Away from Itachi who can kill you and never leave where he stands.
"Fa.ther" Itachi barely managed to get the word out of his mouth. Dad looked at her and Smiled, That Smile is Warm and Loving which will make anyone understand the Love this father has for his children.
"The three of you want to talk to Lord Hokage? I know I've arranged the meeting. I'm just waiting for you to ask before we determine the date. I'll tell him now." Wake up and open the door and disappear before our eyes. Flicker Jutsu's body is on a different level than ours.
"It was easier than expected." Itachi said with a slight smile
"Well....Yep..That" I said in disbelief that the Father of memories has returned and the Demon of the Training Grounds is long gone.
About 20 minutes later he came back.
"Finished tomorrow you three will meet Mr. Hokage."
We are happy but more nervous than we have ever experienced in our lives. This is Lord Hokage we are talking about the Strongest Hokage in History, the True Miracle, and the Strongest Kage of the current Five Kages, Hiruzen Sarutobi!
