  Now that his quest was plete, Daichi was running at a moderate pace. He was going back to the orphao check up on Reo and talk to Aiko.

  'One problem solved. But now when Aiko talks to Kensei about all this and asks about my cloak, I'll be in trouble.'

  Daichi gave a long sigh as he ran through the rooftops of the vilge under his invisibility cloak.

  'I could have told her it was my ability but if anyone found out then I would have been killed for having such a dangerous ability or tortured or experimeo find out how it works. Saying it was the cloak would minimize the risk but irely. I could have said I found it somewhere but I doubt she'd believe that… For some reason or other she trusts Kensei and I hat… What's done is done. I'll o have a talk with him whes back.'

  Daichi reached the orphanage a inside. He reached Miss Aiko's room. She was looking at the sleeping baby Reo with sympathy in her eyes. Sensing Daichi's chakra she turo him.

  "Is it done?" Aiko quietly asked.

  Daiodded his head. He looked at Aiko. "Thank you for this." He said after a minute of silence. Both of them had various thoughts running through their heads.

  "I'll try to e by every one or two months." Daichi said to the matron.

  Aiko nodded her head. She wouldn't mind him visiting every now and then. "It's getting te. You should head bae."

  "Yeah… Miss Aiko?"

  "I'll keep what happened here tonight a secret. But I'll o talk with yrandfather first." Aiko replied to the question she knew Daichi was going to ask.

  "Thank you…" The boy slightly bowed his head. He straightened and spoke. "I should go home. It's really te."

  Aiko went near Daichi and gave him a hug. "You're a good kid Daichi… Get home safely."

  Daichi shortly left the orphanage and headed straight home. On his way he saw several ninjas rushing in all dires.

  'Looks like the Anbu and other forces are scrambling to keep things under trol… This is the point where Hiruzen removes Danzo from power and disbands the root… Too bad for him. This will only force Danzo to go underground with his root agents… But still… I won't have to worry about him for a while. This i will force him to keep a low profile. Even if it is for a short time.'

  Daichi reached his home a short while ter. He got ihe barrier and found his e sitting on the porch of the house. Daichi removed the cloak and the e looked at Daichi.

  "Everything alright?" The e Daichi asked.

  "Yeah… What about you?"

  "See for yourself." With this the e dispelled itself. The chakra of the shadow e returo Daichi and along with it, its memories. Daichi reviewed every sed of the memory sihe e left the academy.

  'Nothing of significe happened… Good.'

  Daichi felt relief spread through body. 'Its over.'

  He was feeling several emotions at the moment and the events of the st couple hours were taking its toll. He went straight to bed and soon fell asleep.

  —-

  Somewhere he Uchiha pound.

  3 people in masks were swiftly moving through the trees. One in the front with the other 2 slightly behind on each side. Each of them had a scroll in their hand. They were root ninjas assigned by Danzo to plete a certain mission.

  "We o move faster. The Anbu have beeed. We o make sure these scrolls reach lord Danzo." The Anbu leading the other two said as they jumped through the branches.

  At that moment a hand with a short sword suddenly came out of the tree trunk in front of them and beheaded the root ninja leading the team. It was an instant attack they couldn't defend against.

  A masked ninja came out of the trunk and took the scroll from the dead ninja before his corpse eveo the ground. The masked ninja quickly stored the scroll in his sleeve.

  The other 2 stopped dead iracks and made eye tact with each other. Their mission and priorities were clear to them. Make sure the scrolls reach lord Danzo at all costs. A sed ter they made their decision.

  "Split up." One of the 2 root ninjas said and they quickly fled in different dires.

  The masked ninja looked at the two esg targets. A deep dark chuckle emanated from his throat.

  "How cute. They think they run from me." The man spoke in a voice that would send shivers down the spine of anyone who heard it. The sed the man disappeared in a swirling vortex that came from his eye.

  The root Anbu who was running through the trees heard the sound of several shuriken flying towards him from above. With a siioook his sword and deflected all the shurikens aimed at his vitals. But it was just a diversion.

  He sensed his enemy ing from below and looked down. He saw the spiral mask and in the single eye hole he saw a glowing red eye with 3 tomoe.

  'Sharingan? It 't be!' This was the st thought of the root ninja before he was caught in a powerful genjutsu. The sed a hand pierced through his chest aroyed his heart. Taking the sed scroll from the dead man the masked ninja disappeared.

  The third root ninja was getting closer to his destination. 'Once I reach the base, I'll have back up.'

  The sed he saw the masked assaint appearing in front of him. The root Anbu quickly went through several hand seals a a fast lightning style attack. The lightning strike went right through the masked figure and he quickly rushed towards the root ninja.

  The root Anbu jumped down to the ground and dashed forward, taking his sword in one hand. 'Does physical attacks have no effects on him? Or did he somehow avoid that attack?'

  The root ninja blocked the ining strike of a kunai with his sword a a kick to his enemy's chest. The kick seemed to phase through his oppo and the sed the root ninja felt something stab his heart.

  'How could I die so…'

  Without even being able to plete his thoughts the man's life vahe masked Uchiha searched the root ninja's body and found the scroll. The sed the several paper bombs covered the scroll and was about to explode.

  'A trap. So predictable.'

  The explosion that was about to happen vanished in a spiraling vortex.

  'He rigged the scroll to be destroyed and take me out with it in case he failed. Oh well. No matter! I have enough stock to st till my pns are plete. Time to pay that old fox a visit.'

  The masked ninja disappeared from there leaving no trace of his existence.

  —-

  Root base.

  Danzo was in his office drinking sake. A very rare indulgence for him. He had a small smirk on his face as he poured another cup of his fi drink.

  'Finally! It's over. My life's work is finally pleted… Ohh how I had longed for this day. To rid this vilge of its greatest problem. The root of evil and threats that the Uchiha represented. And to top it off, the oh the greatest ce to bee the 5th Hokage of the vilge will now be sidered a traitor. Wheime es… I'll be the 5th hokage of this vilge.'

  Feeling pleased with how everything turned out he drank another cup and quelled his emotions. He remembered Itachi's threats at the end. And his frontation with Hiruzen. The Hokage had ordered to disband his root forces but Danzo was not someone ted something like that.

  'I'll keep my head down for now. Let things pass. Now with my forces moved underground I operate with even less restris. But I'll have to be careful. This is a setback for the moment but… This will be helpful in the long term. I'll o move the funds and ge the base of operations soon.'

  As he sat there making pns, he kept an eye oime that passed. He was starting to wonder about the 3 root agents assigned with a specific task.

  'Where are they? Those three should be here by now.'

  He was about to send some of his agents to look for them when he sensed movement from the shadows of his room. Danzo immediately knew something was wrong when his personal guards didn't e.

  "Don't worry. I didn't kill them."

  Out of the shadows came a deep voice. It carried an ihat set Danzo on edge. Danzo had lived through three wars. He knew when a dangerous enemy was in front of him.

  "You have quite the ability to get here without aig. And to even deal with my agents… Who are you?" Danzo, while alert, was not someone who was cowed by threats.

  A masked ninja with a spiral mask and a single eye hole came out of the shadows. Only the upper body could be seen and the rest were hidden in darkness. "Who I am is not important to you at the moment… As to why I came… To take away what isn't yours." As he said this the masked ninja took out a scroll from his sleeve. And lightly tossed it up a few times in his hand.

  Danzo narrowed his eyes as he looked at the scroll. He reized the special scroll and he knew what it taihey were scrolls specifically desigo store ans and safely maintain them.

  'So that's why they're not here. He got to them. I must have those scrolls at all costs.'

  "How about we make a deal?" Danzo spoke.

  The masked ninja tilted his head as if he was ied but didn't make a sound. After several seds of silence Danzo tinued.

  "Give me the scrolls and the tents in it intad I'll get you the forbidden scroll."

  Hearing the proposal, a chuckle escaped the masked nins lips. "Iing proposal… But I have a ter offer… Fet about the Sharingan and I'll let you live."

  The sed those words were uttered Danzo rushed forward. His hand already weaving sings for a wind style jutsu. Ihan a sed Danzo stabbed the man's head with a wind chakra coated kunai. But seeing no blood or brain scattered, and sensing the chakra of the enemy still strong, Danzo immediately stepped back.

  A dangerous ugh escaped the masked ninja's throat. "Haha… The human dition… So predictable."

  The sed Danzo felt a strong kick to his midse that sent him reeling back.

  "Ghaa…" He clutched his stomad looked at the man. He was sending signals for the root agents currently in his base.

  The masked ninja looked at Danzo and spoke. "I could kill yht now… But it would be b. Letting you live… I'm ied to see how it turns out… We'll meet again… Danzo Shimura."

  Danzo scrutihe man. As the st words were spoken, Danzo saw something that shook his heart. A fully matured Sharingan in the single visible eye. As Danzo stood there surprised at the revetion, the masked ninja disappeared as if he was here.

  The sed the ninja disappeared, Danzo snapped himself up from his stupor. He gritted his teeth in anger and frustration. But after a few seds he took several breaths and calmed down.

  'To deal with a Sharingan, one must he Sharingan… It's a good thing I have a back up pn… But for this to work… I'll need his help.'

  Danzo walked out of the room to find his guards unscious on the floor. He stepped past them and walked to meet someone.
