Konoha.
Hokage Office.
The top names of the village were all gathered at the moment and no one had a slight relieved look despite having won the war comfortably.
"Yasuke would never do that, this is just but an attempt of someone to frame uchiha"
Fukashi, the patriarch of uchiha clan along with his son Fugaku was in the office also as with an anxious look on his face he tried to prove uchiha's innocence to everyone.
"You can't just talk your way out of this chief fukashi as through the memories of those who were attacked it was clear that Yasuke was the attacker"
"He used sharingan to catch his fellow anbu members off guard and killed quite a few of them, he also invaded the core area of the hokage building and managed to take the scroll of seals away"
"I'm the anbu minister and those under my command did such a thing, I need explanation and the culprit otherwise I won't be able to face anyone"
Hatake Sakumo, the famous white fang and also the anbu minister didn't buy Fukashi's words at all as with a serious look on his face put the facts before everyone.
Couple of days ago when the war was still going on and fourth hokage had left the village to face Onoki and co something unforeseen happened.
Uchiha Yasuke, an Uchiha Jonin possessing three tomoe sharingan who was also a member of anbu black ops suddenly attacked his fellow anbu members in the hokage building, killing quite a few and escaping with the scroll of seals that recorded every forbidden jutsu of konoha.
The other members of konoha naturally tried to look for Yasuke but he left no trace behind and disappeared like he never existed, after the incident more investigation was done and the memories of those who were attacked by Yasuke were shown to everyone currently present in the room, proving to them that it was truly Yasuke.
*Damn you Yasuke!!! Just when things were getting better! *
Fukashi couldn't come up with anything to keep proving yasuke's innocence after sakumo's words as with the rest he had also seen those memories and clearly the attacker was Yasuke who skillfully used sharingan to put the anbu members under genjutsu and then killed them.
He could only curse inwardly as this act of Yasuke seems to have ruined all the efforts uchiha had made to integrate into the village and improve their reputation.
"The consequences of the scroll of seals being taken away I think everyone can imagine that already… it's partially your responsibility as well hokage sama… never had before such a thing happened but the moment you allowed some people to join anbu it did…"
Homura one of the elders who was hardly allowed to enter the hokage building normally and attend meetings was present in today's meeting due to tagging along with his friend sarutobi.
He didn't let the opportunity to taunt Kazuki go away as mercilessly he pointed out at his mistake, letting the uchiha join the anbu.
Kazuki's expression at his taunt didn't waver one bit and maintained his calm look, after a while of thought under the curious eyes of everyone speaking up.
"One bad deed does not make the good ones disappear… uchiha has served the village faithfully over the years so I won't allow any shady rumors about them just because of one man"
"Still we need to figure out why Yasuke would do such a thing suddenly… announce him as a rogue shinobi and send out a squad to locate him as soon as possible Sakumo-San"
"Understood Lord Hokage"
Assured Sakumo as next moment walked out of the office immediately, on the face of Fukashi a somewhat relieved look as well as with kazuki's words the damage that would be done to uchiha's reputation can be minimized a bit.
The matter of Yasuke was temporarily dealt with as the topic of discussion shifted to the other important matter, on the face of everyone in the room an even more tense look than before.
Before everyone was placed a portrait of a man with long red hair and charming face, a sword was fixed at his waist and the look he gave to everyone was obviously of a samurai lord.
"This man calling himself Yoriichi Tsugikuni who is also the reason why the war started in the first place… according to the information released by Kumogakure invaded their village and took down about three thousand shinobi along with Raikage's son and advisor… two very strong shinobi…"
"He enclosed the village in a barrier and using a jutsu that suspended a crimson moon in the air stripped every one of their chakra permanently, according to kumo this man is not targeting them solely as he plans to strip the chakra of everyone in the world… that is his ultimate goal…
Tsunade narrated every last single detail shared by Kumogakure written on the scroll in her hands as the more she spoke the more tense the atmosphere got.
Everyone in the office who heard the details was visibly shocked but the most was Jiraiya, his eyes widened and words ringing in his head.
*Crimson Eclipse Binds: A Lone Wanderer unites the fractured world*
The details of this incident couldn't help but remind Jiraiya about the prophecy of toad sage, the red moon mentioned in the details was in line with the prophecy.
*Is he…? No… he doesn't have a mark on his forehead…
Thinking about the prophecy Jiraiya couldn't help but give the portrait of the man called Yoriichi another look but something about him didn't match with the prophecy, he didn't have the mark on his forehead as mentioned by toad sage.
