บท 49: Meeting
At the Hokage building
Hiashi and Hiroto arrived at the Hokage building to see the building lively despite it being the middle of the night, an Anbu ninja greeted them saying "Hiashi-sama, everyone is waiting for you inside to start the meeting please follow me" he took a look at Hiroto who is following them.
"He will accompany me inside" Hiashi said answering the Anbu ninja's doubts. The Hokage guard can only nod and let them in the meeting room, he soon took his leave after announcing their arrival to the members inside.

Hizuren who is sleeping now had to conduct a meeting because of the Kumo envoys complaining that the Hyūga clan head killed the head of Kumo ninjas who led the envoy team. Hizuren had to pacify them, and just as he did he received word of the Hyūga clan princess's kidnapping, hearing this he can guess there is a headache incoming.
Hizuren immediately sent word to all clan heads along with the council members for a meeting because of the dire consequences that will follow if the matter isn't handled well.
Sometime later everyone quickly arrived, he along with many others noticed the full moon lose its light and dark clouds with lightning flashes providing the light. Hizuren sent an Anbu to inquire about it, "Hokage-sama what's the reason that you had to summon us in the middle of the night?" Inuzuka clan head asked.
"A few minutes Tsume, once Hiashi arrives we can commence the meeting" Hizuren answered.
True to his words a few minutes later the door opened and Hiashi stepped in taking his seat. All eyes in the room are then directed at the redhead stepping in. Nara Shikaku and Uchiha Fugaku had smiles on their face seeing Hiroto back, while Danzo is scowling which was on his face for a blink of an eye moment. Hizuren who is deep in thought didn't notice him while the other clan heads didn't bother with his presence.
"Boy you don't have enough authority to attend this meeting" Koharu said.
"He can stay by my side" three voices sounded simultaneously in the room. They are Nara Shikaku, Uchiha Fugaku, and Hyūga Hiashi, while being surprised the former two kept quiet for the Hyūga clan head's reason.
"Even though you agree, once this trend started soon the whole of Konoha will be in this room" Danzo stared in an indifferent tone.
Fugaku and Hiashi without self-control might attack Danzo but they are their respective clans' patriarchs. Shikaku stared at Danzo for a few seconds and wanted to say something.
"It's okay, Hiroto can stay for this meeting" Hizuren said ending this matter now as they've got other important matters to deal with.
"Hokage-sama what Danzo-sama said is without reason" Hiroto said which shocked Fugaku for many different reasons than the other members in this room.
"But I've got my own seat in this room" Hiroto continued after a pause and walked toward the direct opposite of the Hokage seat where the seat has the symbol of the Senju clan. Hiroto gave a thankful look to the Uchiha clan head and the Hyūga clan head for standing up to him, taking his seat in between them.
Everyone in the room is surprised while Danzo is downright fuming at this action, "Uzumaki Hiroto what is the meaning of this?" he asked loudly slamming the table.
"Nothing taking my seat given to me" Hiroto answered as if he didn't commit any mistake.
"Brat who the hell gave you the right to sit in the Senju clan's seat?" Danzo hollered.
"Senju Tsunade" Hiroto answered dropping a bomb, "here is her approval" he passes a letter to Fugaku who then passed it to Hiashi, Shikaku took that next and passed it to the Hokage who after taking a glance at it passed it to his council members.
Hizuren is confused at the actions of his student, any other time he would have sent word to the slug sannin for her actions but alas he isn't ready to deal with this now and there is a threat looming so let it slide for now. Danzo who now read the letter is filled with rage and having no other option idea at this moment sat down.
"Even then you need a vote of majority for you to take that seat" Homura said.
"Uchiha clan agrees" Fugaku said as soon the former said it. This is followed by the Hyūga clan and Nara clan. Seeing Shikaku expressing his stance Yamanaka, Akimichi, and Inuzuka voted followed by some other clans while the others stayed silent.
"That's it. We have another pressing issue to deal with" the monkey summoner said bringing the discussion to a stop. "The Kumo envoys who entered the village claimed that the Hyūga clan head killed their leader" Hizuren said and all eyes in the room turned to Hiashi.
Hiashi glancing at the room stood up, "The Kumo clan head entered my house with the intention of taking away my elder daughter. So to protect her I had to face him and in that scuffle, he passed away from a blow by my hands" he said hiding the involvement of both the Uzumaki members.
Hiroto stayed silent while Fugaku and Shikaku noticed there is more to the matter than what he said and stayed silent, ready to step in when needed.
"Do you have any evidence confirming what you said?" Koharu asked.
Hiashi shook his head in denial, "Then your Hyūga clan will be responsible to deal with this matter or soon another great ninja war might start because of this" Homura said his piece.
Hiashi then looked at Hizuren and Danzo, "Get the Kumo envoys here" Hizuren said to an Anbu.
"Good decision by the council members ready to throw one of our own to the enemies" Hiroto said sarcastically breaking the silence in the room.
"Brat this is for the greater good" Koharu shot back while Homura is fuming.
"Damn your greater good. Hiashi-san while I appreciate your effort to protect me and my brother I can't stand and watch this" Hiroto said, after a pause he continued "The Kumo ninja didn't take only the Hyūga clan princess, he also took my brother Uzumaki Naruto with him. He wanted to kill the kids seeing no escape from Hiashi-san and me so I killed him".
Hiroto dropped the bomb and many clan heads who have kids the same age as Hinata's faces turned angry, Hizuren and Danzo knew the consequences if Naruto was killed so their faces twitched.
"And the enemy also found out Naruto's lineage" Hiroto said and sat down.
Many clan heads gave looks of confusion while the people who knew whose legacy Naruto is couldn't help but take a deep breath if they knew the enemy nations got wind of the matter.
"Brat why don't you tell us what's so special about the Kyuubi brat?" Tsume asked.
"Now...now Tsume it's good to look at Naruto..." Hizuren tried to divert the topic.
Fugaku got a signal stealthily from Hiroto to reveal it as there is no one who would spread the matter in the room, so he answered "He is the Yondaime's son. Hell the kid looks like Minato anyone can connect the dots if they look closely".
"Yeah, the Kumo ninja also found this out so I had to kill him to make sure the matter is not known to others" Hiroto chipped in and Hiashi agreed to the same.
"If the ky... kid is Yondaime-sama's son why did no one take care of him" the Kurama clan head looked at the third Hokage for answers.
Hizuren is currently in a hard place so he knew if there isn't a proper explanation for this all the clans in the village may side with the Uchiha clan in the coup d'etat. He opened his mouth to answer.
