Pointing at the culprit
Pointing at the culprit
"Are you Danzou-sama?"
"Yes, it’s me. Could you tell me what brought you here?"
"I have an offer that may interest you." The stranger removed his hood.
Danzou grinned ear to ear. "Come in, come in, and please yourself, make yourself at home!"
Tsunade sighed at the tons of paperwork waiting for her approbation. Chouji and Neji have been stabilized. Kiba would be released soon and the hyperactive blond had come out three days ago. So why did her heart ache so much? Why did she feel as if something was awfully wrong? She associated it to the fact that the village had so willingly welcomed back a traitor. The council pushed her to reinstitute him as soon as possible. If she had had the chance, she would have thrown him in jail. She would have let him rot alone for at least a good decade, but it was a utopia. He was too prized, too precious. A traitorous bastard worse than a snake, it was what he was.
She poured a cup of sake, she would need it regarding the fact that she was drowning under stupid paperwork. You could have asked all the Hokages about the administrative aspect of the job, and almost 80% of them would curse long and loud enough for your ears to bleed. The remaining kage was the Yondaime who have had ironically the luck to escape administrative issues. She brought it to her lips while she grabbed the nearest paper. She spilled it out. 'What the fuck? It has to be a joke, a lame one, but none less a poor joke.'
"SHIZUNE!" The said apprentice bargained in the room, she had run down the hall hearing the urgency in her sensei’s voice. "You asked for me, Tsunade-sama?"
"Hai, I want you to bring back Jiraiya. If he’s pepping and doesn’t want to come, bring him back by the hair, kicking and screaming." Shizune bowed before disappearing.
Jiraiya appeared in a poof of gray smoke. "Why am I here for? I was doing important research.' He added mumbling. 'For once I wasn’t interrupted by an ungrateful student."
He received for an answer a scroll connecting with his face. His eyes grew wider at each sentence on the document. “Tsunade, tell me you didn’t approve this request, did you?”
“Jiraiya, it wasn’t me, there two approvable signature, mine and the head of the council’s. It’s fully legal. Would you mind explaining me this behavior?” “I… I can’t. It never crossed my mind. It’s so unexpected.”
“So what can I do for you?” Asked Danzou in a hypocrite sweet voice.
“Cut the crap will you. I know perfectly you don’t like me and I don’t like you either, but for now I need your help. I have a favor and you’re the only one able to fulfill it. I want you to approve this.”
Danzou grabbed the scroll aimed to him. If possible his grin widened. “It would be such an honor to do so.”
“I’m sure it is.” The stranger stared without blinking in his eyes. “It’s your best day, isn’t it?” he didn’t wait for an answer. “It’s a dream come true before trying to overpower the hokage. Don’t give me this surprised look. I’m fully aware of your schemes from long ago. You always wanted to get rid of me because I was a serious treat, wasn’t I? You were afraid I would try to retrieve back what legally belonged to me. I don’t have anymore use of them now, you can keep them. Use them wisely.” The stranger stood up and snatched the papers now signed.
“It was an honor to help you destroy your ninja life.”
“Don’t flatter yourself too much; I destroyed it five days ago with my foolishness and my team. You, you just allowed me to run away.”
“I never thought you were a coward, guess I was wrong.” The hooded figure stopped in the door step. He smirked, his first emotion since the beginning of the meeting.
“A coward, maybe; a traitor, surely not; a monster, no, it won’t be me who will destroy Konoha. This village has sealed its fate. The Sandaime was too kind; the Yondaime, too foolish; the Gondaime is too weak. Its greatest clan was wiped out by a lone man. The villagers idolized power hungry traitor. Where did the will of fire go? It went away, far away, too far for any Konoha nins to grasp it anymore.” He bowed slightly and passed the door, hoping to never return.
Sneaking out of Konoha had been a child play. It wasn’t too difficult to imagine how the Uchiha deserted. Observing the town from afar, he felt lonely. After all his struggles he saw how foolish he was.
To think that the villagers would want him as Hokage; what a joke! He turned his back for the better. He would need another shot of pain killers, but for now, it didn’t matter. He started walking, slowly his pace fastened. He was now running between the trees, salty droplets pouring on his cheeks despite all his efforts to restrain them. Soon he found himself at the top of a statue.
A statue he had hoped he would never see again.
“Jiraiya, we had to do something, we can’t let Naruto wander alone with the Akastuki after him.”
“I know THAT, Tsunade. But we can’t do anything. He’s a civilian now. We can’t send a bunch of ninjas after him anymore. For once that he didn’t act stupidly, it was for deserting.”
“He has the strongest DEMON in his BELLY, and YOU ask me to do nothing. And you, what will you do? He was your student …”
Jiraiya rudely cut her. “He is not my student anymore and he won’t be referred as such anymore, am I clear? Someone who can’t face the reality is not worth to be a student of mine.”

Unaware of the two, Sakura was spying at Tsunade’s door. She had come here to ask medical training from the legendary slug princess. She had bashed Naruto the last day because of the state he had brought back her Sasuke-kun. And now, she had found another reason to hate him even more.
The rumor will spread because in her mind, everyone deserved to know the truth. And sometimes true is better remaining a secret because it could tear apart. The eleven, now ten, separated in two groups; the supporters and the haters. Naruto would have never imagined that his resignation had created such havoc.
Who would have guessed for someone who had been ignored all the time he was there, and now, that he wasn’t anymore people acknowledged his existence.
But even the supporters, others from the genins included, felt resentments towards Naruto for his cowardice. From the Hokage to the Konohamaru’s corps, the name of the demon host was forbidden.
And with the imminent storm heading towards Konoha, they had other problems on their mind. Soon Uzumaki Naruto was forgotten and his story buried with him.
