While the team from Konoha was returning home in failure, their mission having not been fulfilled, trouble was stirring elsewhere.
Undercurrents were moving, and it seemed like the shinobi world remained oblivious.
Right now, it was a beautiful morning in Konoha, as the streets were as bustling as ever.
Tsunade, the fifth Hokage sat at her office sorting through papers, sighing heavily once again.
'Damn it'
She cursed and was annoyed with this post if she was truthful.
Forget the paperwork, as despite taking a large room of her irritation, the biggest part was the advisors who always barged in complaining all the time.
'Sigh'
Konoha had three advisers to the Hokage.
One shouldn't underestimate them at all.
Apart from Danzo, those two elders, Homura and Koharu were avid supporters of Konoha and truly did have the heart to work for its good.
Despite all the ups and downs, and even seeing some things happening due to the third Hokage and Danzo, these two still held Konoha's interest at heart.
Even when they disagreed with the Hokage, it was just that they were more military in their thinking rather than out of spite. Even when they sided with Danzo before, it was not out of liking for this old comrade of theirs, but rather necessity for what they felt as good for the village.
But Danzo... this old decrepit guy.
He convinced himself that he was doing everything for Konoha. But in reality, for anyone knowledgeable, it was for his own selfish ideals.
And right this instant, this elder, was currently sleeping on his bed.
There was no need to introduce who this guy was to anyone with sufficient position in Konoha.
He was the founder and leader of Root. And self-proclaimed the one who shoulders the darkness of Konoha.
Right now, he was having a certain dream that had him frowning his eyebrows in sleep.
It was known that his biggest wet dream was to become the Hokage and lead Konoha from the surface leaving the shadows to someone else.
However, in reality, this dream of his always remained out of reach.
In dreams, though…
He could at least enjoy it there, no?
Well, the answer, is still no.
Inside of his dream.
Danzo barged into the room of the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi who was smoking from his pipe and looking into the window overlooking the village.
"Hiruzen, you must give me control of the nine-tails right this instant,"
"There is still time, and I can turn him into the perfect tool for the village, otherwise Konoha would remain a joke among the rest of the villages"
The Hokage didn't even turn to look at him.
"Danzo, we discussed this before, my old friend your ways are too extreme, I cannot agree to your request"
He casually spoke up, and Danzo was sure he was smirking as he knew he couldn't see him.
"Hiruzen, you!"
"Can't you see that you have become so soft?"
"Even the Uchiha are now so rampant, their ego cries can be heard from now even at this early hour,"
"You keep this up, and you'll have them charge in here the next time, plunging Konoha into a war"
The Hokage still didn't turn and kept smoking leisurely.
He didn't even answer him at all. Making his response clear.
Danzo grits his teeth.
"If you aren't going to do anything, then I will! Tonight, I would lead my Root, and kill all the Uchiha!"
Only at this moment did the Hokage turn.
His eyes staring at Danzo made him take a step back and gulp.
He could feel the fury behind his eyes and he knew he was no match for him.
"Danzo you are out of order… don't forget"
Hiruzen started walking as he smoked until he was right in front of Danzo.
"I am the Hokage!"
With a start, Danzo woke up from his dream sweating, and having a grimace on his face.
"Hiruzen that bastard!" Danzo could see himself cowering in the dream and he could even see the mockery in Hiruzen's eyes inside this dream. He was furious at this moment.
"Even in my dreams you still haunt me?"
"And why can't i dream normally, and be Hokage for once?"
He gasped with a raspy breath, the words 'I am the Hokage' constantly ringing in his ears making him grit his teeth.
He took the covers off and got up taking care of his morning routine.
"It seems like I must pay Tsunade a visit, she's been doing badly lately!"
It was for no other reason than to vent.
***************
"Master Hokage, the advisors are here"
Tsunade could hear the voices of her dear disciple, Shizune, from the door.
Her temper flared up and she roared in anger.
She flung the desk away and threw all the papers to the sky.
"Goddamn it, you fucking old bastards, leave me alone"
She panted from her anger for a while until she calmed down, and started organizing the place with a defeated look on her face.
'Thankfully, the meeting room is quite far from here…' Shizune, who heard Tsunade throwing a tantrum thought to herself and pitied her master.
***************
Meanwhile, elsewhere a fierce battle was going on.
A certain blonde woman ninja was engaging two members of the Akatsuki.
She had noticed them following her, and fearing for the safety of civilians she led them to the sewers where she prepared an explosive tags trap and buried them in.
But of course, she knew that wasn't enough, which is why she sought the help of her tailed-beast, the two-tails Matatabi.
She fought both of these guys in her full tailed-beast form, and yet, she was still beaten by the two until it was done for her.
That guy Hidan had a troublesome ability.
It was one here all he had to do was draw a symbol on the ground and acquire a bit of her blood and then she was locked in place.
Following this, he brought short retractable spears and started to impale himself.
At first, she didn't understand why he was injuring himself, as he even bled from his mouth and screamed in pain with a manic smile on his face, but then she felt her stomach was suddenly punctured yet she didn't see anyone attacking.
It was only when she saw him puncture his own arm and she felt the same wound in her arm that she understood what was going on.
'If I knew beforehand…no, even if I knew'
She thought that if she knew what his ability was, she would be able to beat them, but then that guy Kakuzo hadn't done much apart from some casual attacks, and she now understood that these two were quite strong, so he should have something special like Hidan.
She was quite strong, and maybe if she had the info, and there was just one, she could put up a fight, but like this, she was going to die.
Now, Hidan had released his ability, since she was already close to death, and they couldn't kill her, since otherwise the tailed beast would get out, and they needed her alive to absorb it into the Gedo mazu.
It was at this moment, as she lay weakly on the ground, that something in the inner pocket of her vest glowed.
She could feel its warmth and she was comforted as she closed her eyes. It was something she had picked up earlier before she noticed the two intruders.
Her consciousness was then transported to a certain place and time stopped flowing.
