Summary of the previous chapter:
Uchiha Makoto talks about Konoha's betrayal of his Clan, and all the Uchiha start to get upset, since they didn't think it was possible, and Makoto orders them to keep quiet. Max starts praising Makoto for his character, as he was able to remain calm in this situation. Makoto explains that Max had not shown his full power, and the other Uchiha tremble at this news. Max tells Makoto that he had convinced him, and he wasn't going to eliminate him since he promised someone that he would give them a chance. Makoto asks Max how he knows that Konoha has betrayed them, and Max hands him two scrolls, containing the information of the Senju Clan, and the Uzumaki Clan. When Makoto finished reading those two scrolls, he concluded that Konohagakure is looking for his third target, and that is his Clan, the Uchiha Clan. Max starts telling him everything Makoto was thinking. Makoto was going to answer, but an Uzumaki arrived, and a Wood Clone; and Makoto was silent. The Uzumaki began to thank Max for saving the Clan from him, and the Uzumaki offers a few words to the Uchiha who don't trust his village or ended up like them. Max offers the Uchiha a job since the Uchiha don't have a place to escape, and now they have a way to go. Makoto started talking to the Uchiha, pondered, and remembered the Uzumaki's words, and in the end, he accepted the proposal.

Continuation.....
[October 09, 14 A.N.N.]
"Okay...we're going to belong to your organization." – Makoto said calmly, while he looked at me.
'Organization?... What do you mean... well, it doesn't matter, let him think what he wants' I thought, and I spoke - "Well... Old man!, you have made a very good decision, but first I need to check something first .".
"It's fine." - Makoto said calmly, and he accepted my request, because he had no other way.
"Wait a minute" – I spoke calmly, as I made a signal for the Wood Clones to come closer, and bring the interrogation crystals.
The Uchiha remained silent, since their patriarch had agreed to belong to my organization to protect the Clan from him, because Konoha had betrayed them, and it is their only way to survive.
After a while, a Clone appeared, came up to my side, and handed me a briefcase containing the interrogation crystals.
"Old man, they are going to be interrogated, if they wish, they can refuse, but I won't help them... and they will be alone... decide?" - I spoke calmly, and I thought 'If you don't want, I can leave this place, and I'll erase your memory.'.
"It's fine." – Said Makoto, I don't hesitate to answer, since he didn't see the problem, he would have been more cautious, if I had been more relaxed, and I wouldn't have been careful.
"Okay... make a line, and I'll be interrogating you... with these crystals, you won't be able to lie." - I spoke calmly, while looking at all the Uchiha, and began to take out the crystals.
"…" The Uchiha didn't say anything, and just looked at Makoto.
Makoto just nodded in approval, and the Uchiha calmed down.
They all started to line up, and Makoto was the first to the end, as he wanted to check first, how these crystals work.
At this time, I approached Makoto, handed the crystal to Makoto, and took out another crystal to scan his entire body, if there is any seal or something on his body.
When Makoto held the crystal, he hadn't feel anything strange, and just started waiting for him to speak, but he saw that I took out another crystal, and placed it near his body, after a while, he heard my voice.
"Cleansed!" - I spoke in a low voice, while looking at Makoto, and continued - "Old man, I'm going to ask you some questions, and these questions I will do with all your Clan members... with the crystal, you will not be able to tell lies, and this is the last chance where you can go back... ¡¿Are you sure?!"
"Okay, go on," - Makoto said calmly, he couldn't back down, since, with this, he can change the fate of his Clan, and he can gain a very powerful ally.
"Okay… answer these questions…" – I spoke calmly and started to ask.
"Which is more important...your family, or the Konoha village?!"
"Who are you loyal to... your family, or the Konoha village?!"
"Have you thought about reporting this to Konoha?"
"What do you think of Konoha, after you've found out the truth?!"
"Have you ever thought of betraying your family, just for power or money?!"
"Did you do business with Danzo?!"
....
After a while, I had asked him various questions, and all about loyalty, betrayal, and if he is involved with Danzo.
In the end, Makoto was clean, and you could see that he loved his family very much, and his Clan, more than the village of Konoha, and that had calmed me down, since he did not intend to betray my trust in him. was giving.
'Makoto, he is a person who values his word very much...but, he will never forgive betrayal...he bears a resemblance to me, as I would not forgive anyone if he betrays me. ' I thought, and I spoke - "Old man, you've passed.".
"..." Makoto nodded calmly at me, ed at his Clansmen who were waiting for him to speak, and said, - "It's safe, don't be afraid."
The Uchiha nodded, ed, and began to be questioned by me.
When I looked at the number of people, if I did at this rate, I was going to be delayed, and I sent a signal for more Clones to come closer. When they arrived, now there are 4 of us who began to interrogate, and it was faster.
After a while, we finished the interrogation, and all the Uchiha were clean because their job is to be the police in the Konoha village, since the village never allowed them to have a high position in the village, since Senju Tobirama, became Hokage, and that continues to this day.
When the interrogation ended, all the Uchiha were calm, since they had heard every word of their companions, and they gained more trust between them.
'The only way they could defeat the Uchiha Clan was, because someone inside had betrayed them, and they had never thought that the patriarch's son would betray them.' I thought, and continued 'Uchiha Fugaku is not on this battlefield, he should have stayed in Konoha.'.
"Old man... now I need you to decide, and choose a trustworthy person to accompany you to Konoha." - I spoke calmly, and I thought 'I need someone to take responsibility for this whole massacre, and the best candidate is Konoha.'
"What is your plan?!" - Makoto said calmly, while he waited for my answer.
"The plan is very easy, we need to blame someone for this massacre... and the best candidate is Konoha since the other villages will not be able to take revenge..." - I spoke calmly, while I told him the plan, and when I finished speaking, they all accepted.
Makoto chose a trusted person, and with him, he was going to go to Konoha to report the attack, and the ambush from the villages of Kirigakure, and Sunagakure.
The other Uchiha wasn't going to go to Konoha, because it would be more dangerous for their Clan if they went; and they were going to the safest place, it is the Rouran Empire.
In the Empire they were going to stay, and wait for the rest of their Clan to come, they knew very well that the time was going to belong, since it is not easy to get an entire Clan out of a Shinobi village, everyone had accepted.
All of this group are the elites of the Uchiha Clan, seniors, all of them were at the Jounin level, and five were at the Kage level. If this group died, the strength of the Uchiha Clan would weaken, and only young people would remain in the Konoha village.
The reason, why not let them go to Konoha, is because Konoha would no longer be targeting them, since they will think that the Uchiha Clan has weakened, and they could attack them again in the future.
'If Makoto died in this place, the youngest would be responsible for his Clan, and for that, Uchiha Fugaku could become a patriarch, and because of his great talent, since with only his Sharingan, he was feared by all. the ninja villages.' I thought, and continued 'In this trip, I was able to collect, 65 people with great power.'
'At first, t I thought of putting a slave seal on him, but I didn't want to take away his freedom, and if they ever think of betraying me, his only destiny is death…' I thought…
'The other reason, why I didn't put a stamp on it, is because of Makoto, he is a trustworthy person, there are very few people who are just by word of mouth... as they say, the word is worth more than something is written! ....but, these days, these people are hard to find.' I thought.
"Old man... look in that direction." – I spoke calmly, while I pointed a finger at a specific place, where the insects of the Aburame Clan were.
When the Uchiha and Makoto heard my words, they all looked at the place where I was pointing, and when they realized it, they knew immediately what I meant.
"So, we had been monitoring, ever since we left Konoha…" - Makoto said in a calm voice, but his eyebrows were drawn together.
"Yes, since I had come, I had detected them, and placed them in a Genjutsu, where they are only seeing mist, and they can't hear anything, since there are only noises of fighting… The other party thinks that they are still fighting "- I spoke calmly.
Makoto looked at me, and said - "From the beginning, have you planned all this? ... I respect you more, for your caution, since you have saved us from being observed by Konoha.".
'Apparently, Makoto doesn't say my village anymore, he already sees it as enemies...he favors me.' I thought, and I spoke - "I'm surprised you haven't noticed, with your power, and caution... not noticing, it's silly.".
"I had never considered that Konoha would betray my Clan." – Said Makoto, while he looked at the insects of the Aburame Clan, and had realized who he belonged to.
"Old man, don't tell me you never suspected them?... I don't think you're that stupid." - I spoke calmly.
"Sigh!...yes, but I've never had proof to prove it since they're using someone else's knife to stab us in the back." - Said Makoto resigned, since, if he had been more cautious, his Clan members would not have died, and he kept looking at the insects, while he remembered everything.
"Remember this man, it's not about who's good to your face, it's about who's loyal behind your back!" - I spoke calmly, and continued - "You have this opportunity, don't waste it.".
When Makoto heard my words, he was left thinking, and remembering the words, since they were words that encouraged him.
Makoto looked at his Clan, and they all nodded, as they will always be together, and trusting each other. He remembered my words, as he looked at his Clan, and had hope.
"Thank you for your words, I will always remember it, and also what you are doing for my Clan." – Makoto said, while he looked at me.
All of the Uchiha nodded their heads in approval at their patriarch's words.
"..." I nodded and I thought 'Now I'll have to go to Amegakure and wait for the start of the war', and at this moment I made a hand signal, and after a short time Aizen appeared.
When everyone looked at Aizen, he was walking calmly, and they were surprised since he looks serious and cold.
Aizen walked up to my side, stood firm, and militarily saluted me.
"Sir, what can I do for you?" – Aizen said with a firm voice.
All the Uchiha looked at Aizen, since his behavior is very different from what they knew, and he is the first person to show his face.
"Go with the Uchiha, and the Uzumaki... don't let anyone discover them... I don't want to have loose ends." - I spoke, and continued - " Find a place for them to work... Try if they can join your ranks."
"Yes, sir" – Aizen said firmly, and at this moment he looked at the Uchiha, and continued- "Let's go!".
The Uchiha looked at Makoto, and he just nodded approvingly, and said, "Don't worry, I'll talk to his family...in the future, you'll be able to see him."
All the Uchiha accepted and gave their last parting words. When they finished, they began to follow Aizen, and the Clones to catch up with the Uzumaki.
The five Wood Clones are very powerful, and they were charged with the action, and erasing any trace. Besides, he had a more important mission.
The corpses of the Uchiha, I had kept it in a scroll, and I gave it to Makoto to be buried in his Clan cemetery, and I told him that I kept his brother's eyes, since, in the future, he was to d, because he will become blind, if he uses the Mangekyou Sharingan.
When everyone left, I stayed with Makoto, and the trusted person I had chosen, and now I was going to disappear, since I had no reason to stay, and I thought 'I'll go to the Empire to say goodbye, and then I'll go to Amegakure to participate in the war', and I prepared to leave.
Makoto looked at me, and after thinking, he had made up his mind, and said - "Can you do me a favor?".
"What is the favor?" – I spoke, and I stopped, since he surprised me that he asked me for a favor.
"Can you get my daughter out of Konoha?... I don't want to see her, in a dangerous place." - Makoto said calmly.
"Who is your daughter?!" - I asked curiously, and listened to his words.
"My daughter's name is...!"
