Bab 3: Threatening
By the time Araki woke up, he didn't realise, but the Hokage had sent multiple missions to find out the assassins who killed Ramatsu! There was no point of angering that old lady even further. She could really destroy the village if she wished. Moreover, she didn't even need a shinobi under her to accomplish the task.
She alone was sufficient with her sealing knowledge and that entity inside of her. Moreover, even if Mito did destroy Konoha, it wouldn't be like she wouldn't have a place to return to.
The Uzumaki Village was alright for now. Even though he had heard information about the other three Hidden Villages making preparations to take on the Uzumaki Village, there was no way they would dare to make their move right now.
Hiruzen didn't dare to make any move to protect the Uzumaki Village. Why? Because Konoha was already on its last legs at this moment. Tsunade wasn't here. Jiraiya was in Ame, training three apprentices and managing his spy network. Only Orochimaru was available from his disciples. And the White Fang, Hatake Sakumo. However, even though Sand Village had lost, they were still on edge.
Especially that old lady Chiho, she was still mad about her son and daughter-in-law's death and would show no hesitation in attacking Konoha if they showed a slight weakness on the front lines.
Instead of saving Uzumaki Village, he had thought up of a crafty scheme to benefit from the destruction of the Uzumaki Village.
However, he realised that the presence of Araki had pretty much crushed quite a lot his schemes. Why? Because it seemed that upon his presence, Mito wouldn't take things lying down anymore.
He pitied his old comrade Danzo even more. He knew that once Danzo finds out that Araki had awakened Mokuton, he would want to make him a root ninja. However, with the presence of Mito Uzumaki, it was all but impossible for him to do anything now! In fact, he would be digging his own grave by crossing that old woman.
For the next 3-4 days, Araki continued to live without any worries. He didn't know what he should do, and so Mito was imparting him information of what was going on in the world. About the war, about her other granddaughter, Senju Tsunade. It was said that she was roaming the land, gambling and drinking sake. Although Mito was a little worried about Tsunade, she was aware that with her strength, there was no need to be worried about her.
In just 3-4 days, Araki felt like he had been imparted a tremendous amount of information. He didn't realise that the Second Shinobi War was almost over.
While Araki had been imparted with a tremendous amount of information, the Hokage couldn't even sleep in peace. Even in his dreams, he saw a giant Nine-Tailed Fox being released and it was destroying the village with every swipe of its tail. Or maybe that fearful 'Bijudama'. He shivered at the mere thought of that blast hitting the village.
However, he was relieved when someone finally delivered a piece of good news. It was that the assassins who killed Araki's father were caught.
A little relieved and excited that they had been caught, the Third Hokage didn't dare to delay and took them to the Senju Clan Manor while their Chakras were sealed.
He soon reached the Senju Clan Manor while dragging the three Assassins.
Mito could easily sense that te Third Hokage was coming. She had asked the guard to open the gate and let him enter. With that, the Third Hokage waited for Mito and Araki to arrive in the courtyard.
Soon enough, Araki arrived with his new clothes with the Senju Clan Emblem on his back. Mito wanted him to wear the Uzumaki Clan's clothes, but Araki wanted to wear the clothes with Senju Clan's Symbol since he wanted to be like his grandpa, Hashirama.
Muttering something along the lines of "That emblem is so bad. Uzumaki Clan's symbol is so much better." But anyway, she respected his choice and they soon got out of the Mansion.
Staring at the Hokage, Araki was a little surprised. He looked even more surprised when he saw three men in cuffs behind the Third Hokage, he asked curiously, "Who are these three?"
The Hokage didn't know whether he should answer right now or not. Mito though nodded her head and allowed the Hokage to speak, "These three are the ones who killed your father."
"What?!" Araki let out a shout of surprise, he stared at the faces of these three shinobis. His expression changed from curiosity to that of absolute anger.
"You were the one who killed my father?!" He was half asking them this question.
None of these three moved their mouth. Although these three were scared of what would happen, these three wouldn't speak anything.
"Why did you do it?!" Realising that he wouldn't receive his answer by asking like that, he asked them clearly.
Still, he received no answer.
"I. ASKED. WHY. DID. YOU. DO. IT?!" His chakra seemed to have awakened at that moment, and a shockwave was felt by Mito and Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Usually, when a shinobi awakens his chakra, it isn't visible to the eyes. Araki's chakra was very much visible to Mito and Hiruzen's eyes. They noticed how it was condensing on Araki's body.
Some plants started to grow from the ground as his chakra seeped into the ground! At that moment, the complexion of the three assassins changed. All three of them had the same thought in their mind.
'Shit! We should have killed him!'
Their thoughts were because this child had the Mokuton. In other words, he had the Bloodline of Senju Hashirama! The one person who posed their village the most significant threat from the Senju Clan wasn't going to be Senju Tsunade, it would be this boy!
Mito stepped forward, placing a hand on Araki. It was to calm him down. She was well aware of how much Araki hated these three Shinobis in front of him. The Kyuubi did give her the ability to sense Negative Emotions.
"Calm down. Let grandma take care of this." She said before moving a step further.
Her eyes were ice-cold as she stared at the three shinobis. She asked them, "I wonder if you are aware of me."
One of the three Shinobis let out a weak chuckle, "How can we be unaware of Uzumaki Mito."
"Good, that makes it easier. Tell me who ordered you to kill my younger son." The three were unsure of what to say at that moment. They could stay silent while Araki asked them, but Mito… She was a monster.
Just the pressure generating from her chakra was enough to make them kneel in her presence. They were sure that even without these Anti-Chakra Cuffs, it would be suicide to go against this old woman!
"My grandchild is kind. He will only kill you and forget this rage. But do remember, I am Hashirama's Wife, although I cannot capture all bijuus. But, I can assure you that I do have the power to flatten a village. Do you dare doubt me?!" Her voice was filled with a strange arrogance. In fact, the three didn't even doubt if she could do this or not. They were sure she was capable of this!
Mito was far from finished though, she added with an even intimidating aura, "If you think I cannot find out about your village if you remain silent, then you are extremely foolish. This monkey could capture you in three days and bring you in front of me. I am sure he can present me with your information in the next 3 days. It's better if you open your mouth or even I won't like what I am about to do next."
