Minato however turned his gaze towards the place the people were shouting from. He noticed a large number of people gathered there, so he turned to look at Shiroken.

"You are not harming the people. As long as the people live, the village can be rebuilt, better and stronger than before." Minato said, shocking Hiruzen.

Shiroken's eyes shined, he felt that Minato's thinking was somewhat similar to his own. ~Indeed, quite possibly the only Hokage that could have made something good out of this dysfunctional village. A Hokage not belonging to any big clan, equal and just to all.~

"True, that was what I thought when Hashirma forced my village people to live in uncertainty. But their will prevailed and they are now thriving." He replied, and also commended him, "To be able to become friends with Kurama. You are surely better than most humans it seems. Tell me, what is your wish before I release your soul to the afterlife, where you can meet your wife again."

Minato's face glowed when he heard about Kushina. But, he turned sad as well, "I'm afraid I will never be able to cross over. My regret will forever linger in my mind."

"And what is that regret?" Shiroken inquired.

"My son... Naruto Uzumaki. I wonder how he's doing…? Poor child... He had to live without both of his parents. You... You must have met Naruto, the Yang half of Kurama is still sealed in him after all. How is he? Does he have a lot of friends? The people must adore him for being my son, right? Does he live in my house? What about his health? And his ninja abilities..." Minato, like any restless father would, launched a barrage of questions.

What he didn't see was that with each of his questions, Hiruzen felt restless and weak. He felt like he couldn't breathe anymore.

Shiroken nodded and told him about his meeting with Naruto, "Yes, I did meet him once. He is a good kid, stupid sometimes but good. When I saw him a few years back, he was running in the rain, secretly looking at me while I was eating at Ichiraku ramen. He had no money and his stomach was growling. I offered him food, and also paid enough for him to get free food until he started making money by himself."

"Hungry? What do you mean? My account had 169 million Ryo. Kushina had money too, she even inherited some from Lady Mito. Him being hungry and out of money doesn't make sense." Minato was confused.

Shiroken shrugged, "Well, I won't spoil it for you, but it seems you have some talking to do with the current Hokage standing behind you."

Minato turned around. When he saw Hiruzen's face, which only showed regret and shame, he had a bad premonition. ~No, they can't. Why would they? It would be cruel to steal from a baby..~

"Sensei, is this true?" He asked him in a very dangerous tone.

[A/N: The reason Minato is calling Hiruzen sensei is that he studied and trained how to become a Hokage under him.]

...

When Shiroken was watching the drama unfold, some Shinobi of Konoha were looking at everything in shock and wonder. And since the Sunagakure invasion was real, there were still enemies to fight.

"WHAT IS GOING ON?" Might Guy frustratingly asked while looking at the destruction happening.

"I don't know. Nothing makes sense here. Orochimaru is behind all this, that's all I know." Kakashi replied.

"BUT... What about the two Hokages? Why are they flattening the village?" Guy wondered.

Kakashi looked at the people gathered outside the village, "I don't know, but whatever it is, it was very nicely planned. Let's go, there could be Suna attackers hiding among the people."

Actually, their worries were pointless. The moment Orochimaru revealed himself, Monari slapped all Sunagakure ninjas into submission, telling them they were fooled and that they must cease their attacks or else they would face death by Shiroken, the Chief Executive of Sunagakure. So, they all started running away instead.

This happened a while ago, right now Monari was on the other side of the village that was still fine. This side was closer towards the Hokage rock. Monari was actually headed to the now-abandoned Uchiha District.

"Where is it?" She asked Shisui who followed her.

"THIS WAY! Naka Shrine was a very important place for us, as it housed the clan's patron deity. People of low birth or orphans like me were never let to enter. But Itachi did tell me that there was a stone tablet with strange writings inside. Itachi's father also always emphasised it." Shisui explained.

"Well, then it must have something really important. Let's take it as ordered." She sped up.

"STOP!... where are you going?"

From behind them, a voice came. They abruptly halted and turned around, ready to attack. Monari recognised the man, "You are Jiraiya, right?"

"Yes. I remember you from years ago. Who is he?" Jiraiya asked them.

Before Shisui said it, Monari answered, "He's Kawasaki... Kawasaki Honda."

"Why are you in this place? There is nobody here for you to evacuate. Or perhaps you are planning something else?" Jiraiya was ready to fight them. He may be hopeless against Shiroken, but he believed he could take them on.

Monari smiled, "Kawasaki-chan, you stay back. I will handle this boy. I heard he has become a real pervert now. Nobody gave him a good timely beating it seems."

Jiraiya's face twitched, "I... I only do that for research. I am an esteemed novelist, you see. Don't you know about my Icha Icha Paradise? It's the hottest book in the market."

She scoffed, "Huh, I've seen it. It's nothing but a pervert-novel, written by a perverted sage. It corrupts the minds of young kids. OH! I must make you stop writing this abomination, I don't want my son to read them."

"YOU'RE CRAZY! That's art. Writing is the highest form of art there is. Even Gorillas love to write novels. To be able to make the reader's mind see what the author wants them to see, that takes hard work. And, shouldn't you be stopping your son from reading it, instead of stopping me?" Jiraiya countered.

"Why would I stop him? When you find a problem, you should erase it from its roots. AH! Perhaps I can find an even bigger root and cut it more directly. After all, the problems stem from there. No horny will be equal to no perversion." She sounded dangerous as she glanced at Jiraiya's pants.

Jiraiya already felt violated for some reason and covered his pants, "Hey... That... Not even enemies will do that to each other. *Sigh* Let's just fight, old lady."

"WHAT DID YOU SAY? OLD?" Monari's eyes reddened and Mangekyo Sharingan appeared as her hair flew around. This time she was really angry.

Jiraiya cursed himself, but there was no going back now, "You looked nearly the same when I saw you the last time. You're probably over a hundred."

"GET READY FOR THE ULTIMATE BEATING!" She announced. Jiraiya did feel a bit nervous because of it.

*BOOM*

Their arms collided loudly. Next, they started moving too fast for normal people to see, not like someone was seeing it. Monari was slapping Jiraiya left and right.

Shisui was getting restless on the side. The fight was pointless anyway, and Monari had a much better way to peacefully take the stone tablet.

"STOP, YOU TWO! Let's not waste time. Lord Jiraiya, Lady Monari is the eldest remaining Uchiha. She has every right over the clan's tablet. And even if you magically can defeat her, do not forget, that would anger Lord Dama, and then he might not even spare the people." He warned the sage.

Jiraiya stepped back and agreed to Shisui's evaluation. He looked towards where the destruction was going on. "I will come with you to the shrine then." He said with a swollen face.

Monari snorted, "Hmph... Suit yourself, pervert."

They soon arrived at the underground shrine. There, two lamps of fire were still burning, and in the middle was a stone with some words on it. Monari, who was using her normal Sharingan on it saw what it said.

~Kill your closest friend and gain the ultimate power of the advanced dojutsu? Hmm, what kind of shrine is this?~ She wondered.

Realising it was telling you how to attain the Mangekyo Sharingan, she activated it and again looked. ~To make this power permanent, killing one's brother and taking their eyes is the only way.~

She was left speechless and sensed a very vile thing behind this stone. She understood that this was meant to force the people of the Uchiha clan to continue on their path of hatred and use that to power themselves. Each time one would unlock a Sharingan power they will be lured by more.

~What will happen when I have the Eternal Mangekyo? Hmm... Shiro should be able to see through whatever trick is used on this.~ She thought and picked up the stone very easily.

Then, Shisui opened a storage scroll and stored it successfully. Monari safely put the seal in her pocket, "We will leave now, pervert. Don't be sad that your village is damaged, be happy that Shiro is a kind person and didn't just eradicate the village with its people."

...

Back at the terrace of the arena, a heated discussion was going on between Minato and Hiruzen.

"HOW COULD YOU? H-He's my son. He deserves to be loved... Not hated. I thought you were smarter than this, Lord Sarutobi. How was letting a young boy get treated so badly going to make him loyal to the village? Has your age finally made you senile? And you said it wasn't you who leaked the information, but you saw all that still take place... didn't you?

"You took everything away from him. His money, his house. How do you even sleep at night? I can't believe this... You of all people. I guess you were always like this... This was your true face, you were just too good at fooling everyone." Minato was under mental strain. He wasn't able to digest that Hiruzen could do this to his son and it made him very sad. He was feeling heartache, thinking about what he would tell his wife in the afterlife.

"D-DAD?"

Everyone's face turned instantly. There stood a young blonde teenaged boy, with blue eyes, shining like the stars and whiskers on his face.
