Kapitel 25: Meetings

The next morning, in the grand meeting hall of the Hyuga clan compound, an urgent assembly was convened.

At the center of the room sat Hyuga Hiashi, the current head of the clan. Beside him, his twin brother, Hyuga Hizashi, sat cross-legged on the tatami mat. Surrounding them were their father, the former clan leader and now elder, Hyuga Harushi, along with other esteemed elders of the clan.

Hiashi began, his voice steady but tinged with gravity. "We owe a significant debt of gratitude to Mirai for his intervention last night." He said, inclining his head respectfully. "Without his intervention, the situation could have spiraled out of control."

He paused, allowing his words to sink in. "I was determined to eliminate the kidnapper, unaware of his true identity. My actions, if left unchecked, might have sparked an international conflict of unimaginable proportions. Yet, Mirai took it upon himself to resolve the situation, even going as far as to kill the Kumo ambassador, effectively avenging our clan, even if that was not his primary intent."

Hizashi spoke up, his tone contemplative. "Mirai's intervention spared us from a potentially disastrous political fallout. The situation was handled decisively, and the message to Kumo was undeniable."

The elders exchanged glances, the weight of Hiashi's words evident on their faces. Hiashi continued, a note of criticism in his tone. "The Third's indecisiveness and his willingness to bow for a false peace have shown a dangerous weakness. In times like these, we cannot afford such vulnerability."

He then addressed the potential fallout. "There is a possibility of a small-scale conflict with Kumo. We must be prepared for this eventuality and stand united."

Harushi, his voice weakened but still firm and resolute, added from his side. "We are obligated to support Namikaze Mirai. His actions have proven his strength and resolve. We must match that with our own. Our clan should never abandon a helper and benefactor."

In the Uchiha clan, another meeting was held between a clone Mirai, Fugaku, and Setsuna, but the atmosphere was totally different. Mirai sat and observed as the usually stoic Setsuna laughed joyfully, his raspy voice not used to such an expression.

Turning to Fugaku, who still maintained a stern expression, though a glimmer of joy appeared in his eye, Mirai spoke. "There's something you need to know about Danzo. He possessed a Sharingan in his right eye."

The room fell into a heavy silence, Setsuna's laughter cutting off abruptly as the mood darkened. Fugaku's eyes immediately became ice cold, barely containing his fury. His knuckles turned white as he clenched his fists. 

Setsuna, not maintaining a facade, let his expression twist into one of anguished anger and hate. "A Sharingan?" He growled.

Mirai nodded solemnly. "It's likely from an unlucky Uchiha."

Setsuna's face contorted further with rage. "To think one of our's eyes was desecrated in such a manner."

Mirai leaned forward, his voice steady as he began to describe the encounter. "Danzo should have died from a fatal hit. No, he did die, but somehow he negated his death and came back."

He looked directly into Fugaku's eyes, his gaze unwavering. "I need to know the truth."

Fugaku and Setsuna exchanged glances, their anger momentarily set aside. Understanding dawned upon them, the reason for Danzo's obsession with their kekkei genkai becoming clear.

Fugaku sighed deeply, his stern expression softening just a fraction. "It's the forbidden technique, [Izanagi]" He began, his voice heavy, exposing an ancient secret. "A powerful genjutsu that allows the user to alter reality at the cost of losing the light in their Sharingan, giving the user control over what is and what is not real for as long as its activation."

Setsuna, his face still contorted with residual anger, added. "It's a technique so dangerous and sacrificial that it was buried within our clan's history."

Mirai nodded, absorbing the information. "So, Danzo used [Izanagi] to escape death. That explains his desperation to acquire the Sharingan."

He couldn't help but curse inwardly at the sheer power and versatility of the Uchiha clan. The Sharingan alone was a formidable tool, capable of subduing even the most skilled shinobi. Its next evolution, the Mangekyo Sharingan, could elevate an Uchiha to a level surpassing most Kage. And now, to learn of their forbidden technique that could alter destiny itself—it was almost too much to fathom.

Sighing, Mirai turned to Fugaku and said in a serious voice. "Fugaku-san, I may need your help in the coming days after yesterday's events."

Fugaku, already briefed about the Hyuga affair, nodded stiffly, still deep in thoughts.

In his office, Hiruzen sat tired, closing his eyes for a moment of respite.

Not long after, the door to his office creaked open, and his old comrades and advisors entered. Koharu, her expression stern, immediately asked. "What about the rest of Kumo's envoys?"

Hiruzen opened his eyes, taking a deep breath as he began to prepare his smoke pipe. "They were sent away with the message as agreed." He replied. "They were thoroughly checked by the analysis team, but to no result, as expected. Their minds were protected, and we couldn't escalate things further by hurting them."

Placing his pipe in his mouth, Hiruzen then informed them absentmindedly. "There are whispers spreading, rumors that undermine Mirai and question his actions. The villagers gossip that he jeopardized the peace treaty."

Koharu and Homura exchanged glances before adamantly denying their involvement. "We have nothing to do with these rumors." Homura insisted.

Hiruzen frowned, blowing a cloud of smoke. "Root?" He muttered, the name hanging in the air like a shadow.

Kapitel 26: Rumor

Konoha, which had just begun to settle down after the recent festivities, found itself once again on edge as unsettling rumors spread throughout the village.

Whispers circulated that Namikaze Mirai, the Blue Flash of Konoha, who had recently returned and taken the demon fox under his care, had killed the Kumo ambassador. The peace treaty that had been painstakingly negotiated was now rendered useless, plunging the relationship between Konoha and Kumogakure into deeper turmoil. The specter of war loomed ominously over the village.

The gloom of impending conflict cast a long shadow over Konoha. For a while, the incident, now known as the 'Hyuga Affair,' became the hottest topic of discussion during meals for both villagers and ninjas. Conversations buzzed with details of the event, Mirai's controversial actions, and the potential fallout with Kumo.

Despite efforts by the Third Hokage and the Hyuga clan to contain the news, it spread rapidly, reaching every corner of the village. The tension was palpable as residents debated Mirai's actions. Some agreed with his decisive stance, while others condemned it, fearing the consequences.

Mirai found himself at the eye of the storm, a polarizing figure caught between admiration and criticism. 

However, remaining indifferent to the swirling rumors and the mounting tension in the village. He focused solely on guiding Naruto in refining his chakra. 

With the seal on Naruto already strengthened and fortified by Minato, the boy now faced no barriers. However, his immense chakra reserves proved to be another challenge. Despite the lack of obstacles, Naruto struggled with the intricacies of chakra control. 

This struggle proved to Mirai that Naruto did not possess a natural talent in this area. Yet, Mirai firmly believed that with dedication and relentless effort, even this obstacle could be overcome.

Noticing Naruto getting bored and his attention waning, Mirai decided to switch tactics. "How about we finish up with some laps around the courtyard?" He suggested.

Naruto's face lit up, and he sprang to his feet. "Let's go!" He shouted, springing to his feet and dashing off at full speed.

As he watched Naruto enthusiastically run circles around the courtyard, his endurance and speed uncommon for a child his age. Mirai's mind wandered. He theorized that Naruto's heritage as an Uzumaki, a clan known for its powerful life-force granting extreme longevity, healing power, stamina, and vitality, was further enhanced by the Yang chakra of the Nine-Tails. This combination provided Naruto with extraordinary physical energy and amplified his innate talents.

Mirai couldn't help but think of Minato. He realized that his purpose was likely to endow his son with as many boons and advantages as possible, preparing him for the uncertain future. 

His thoughts were interrupted by the panting Naruto, who had come to his side, huffing. "Uncle, I finished!"

Mirai smiled warmly. "Good job, Naruto. Go take a bath. I'll make dinner."

At the mention of dinner, Naruto's eyes lit up, and he sprinted toward the house with renewed energy.

Watching him with a smile, Mirai turned to follow. Just as he was about to step inside, he sensed a familiar presence. Kakashi, who usually remained hidden, had appeared.

Mirai stopped in his tracks and faced him. "What's wrong, Kakashi?" He asked casually.

Kakashi's one visible eye crinkled slightly. "It's about the rumors." His usual composed demeanor cracked slightly, revealing a hint of agitation. "Why aren't you concerned about the rumors? Why aren't you reacting despite being dishonored and hated?"

Mirai stared at him intently for a moment before responding. "This situation feels familiar, doesn't it?"

Kakashi's posture stiffened, but he remained silent.

Mirai continued, his voice steady. "The 'White Fang'—Hatake Sakumo. A genius ninja whose skill and fame overshadowed even that of the Sannin. His kindness and commitment to his allies brought him nothing but hate and ridicule, which eventually led him to take his own life."

Kakashi's gaze dropped, his eyes obscured by his silver hair.

Mirai took a deep sigh. "It's human nature, Kakashi. Most people agree and believe whatever they hear. It's not that they are incapable of thinking—they're just not willing to. They care more about whether something is exciting and if they can derive some twisted pleasure from it. Humans idolize those who rise to greatness, but many derive a strange pleasure from watching those same heroes fall from their pedestal. They revel in pointing out the so-called crimes from a moral high ground. In that moment, they feel like gods."

As Mirai turned to leave, following Naruto to the house, he paused for a moment and looked back at Kakashi. "True strength lies in staying true to yourself, regardless of what others say. And the best way to silence your critics is to prove them wrong. Those who truly matter will see the truth eventually."

Kakashi stood there, his eyes widened, taking in Mirai's words.

Mirai gave him a reassuring smile before continuing toward the house. "Come on, Kakashi. As Minato's last disciple, it's time you met Naruto officially. I'll make dinner."
