Title: Every ruler has his own opposition… from the inside...

….

While Yami was teasing Tsunade and joking around. In Konoha, inside a dark room Hiruzen, Orochimaru, Jiraya and some other people who were all people of different political positions were all around, sitting down and talking. 

"Yami will ruin the spirit of Konoha if he continues like this. Konoha isn't a place that treats his ninja like some tools that can simply be given away." The one who says this is Hiruzen, addressing the situation around him. 

Some people in the meeting look unsure of this. They know that if they do something… that is against Konoha's (Yami's) interests then they know that they will suffer 'accidents'. They know how dangerous Yami is, he won't tolerate anything that is against him. The only reason he hasn't already killed Hiruzen, Orochimaru and Jiraiya is simply because they are useful to him. 

Everyone here knows that, but they still have the courage to meet here. So they all have the bravery to even stand against Yami, which is a feat in itself. 

Yami is like their boogie man, someone who can have them killed at any time. 

That is when Orochimaru decides to lean back on his chair. "Yami's influence is terrifying, I have been careful to not even buy the chairs that we are sitting on or the chances are he would have investigated why I would buy something like this. There were all made by some craftsmen that are part of the Yami No Caution Act, our organisation which aims to lower Yami's influence on the world."

As Orochimaru says this, the other members and even Jiraya are a little nervous about this. After all, they have noticed how much of an influence Yami has on the world. It is… simply terrifying. There used to be some Anbu that used to give them information about Yami, but they all had accidents the second day after Yami became Hokage.

When Hiruzen sees this, he just gets up and with a voice full of confidence says. "We don't want you to fight Yami head on, or directly oppose him. We simply need to lower his influence. Also if any of you feel unsure about this, you can leave easily. All that we ask of you is to not speak of our organisation."

Some immediately get up and walk away, they have families and don't want to risk them by going against Yami. They know how the Shimura Clan ended just by association with Danzo. They were still butchered even after Danzo's death, though it seems like 'war casualties' there is no need to look too hard to notice something strange going on in here. The Shimura Clan is also out of any history books now. 

Every single Shimura Clan child who graduated from the academy has died during the 3rd Ninja War. Everyone needs to think twice before deciding to oppose Yami, after all, their families will be put in danger too.

….

After ten minutes, more than half of the members in the room left. Even some nobles who were stripped of their positions just because Yami needed their lands, thus they lost everything to him. But they still left, their faces filled with nervousness, they lost everything to Yami... but they still don't want to lose their lives too.

Hiruzen looks at the people leaving and can't help but slightly admire the effectiveness of Yami's way of handling things. Contrary to him, Yami dominates and isn't above using his power to keep someone in line, even by threatening their families. Even while he does this, there aren't a lot of people who hate Yami, and even less who have the courage to stand up to him.

As he looks around Hiruzen notices that there were some people who were unsure. There are less than twenty in here. 

'This is worse than expected.' Grimaces Hiruzen.

On the other hand Orochimaru looks at this with a calm look on his face. But on the inside he is jovional, he can see how truly effective the method Yami uses to rule is VERY effective. 

'As expected, just like everything else he does, Yami is perfect at ruling too. That man makes me think about becoming his subordinate, but sadly I am not someone who follows others.' Thinks Orochimaru, as he has to hold himself back from smirking. He doesn't even necessarily care about this so called organisation, but he has decided that ever since Yami became Hokage he will become missing ninja. 

'Soon Yami will start exerting control dominance towards me. Not allowing me to do anything anymore, he will most likely have me become one of his researchers. But I wouldn't be able to do anything for myself without Yami breathing down my neck.' Contemplates Orochimaru, trying to predict what Yami's reaction would be if he stays in Konoha.

Jiraya on the other hand has a nervous look on his face. Yami already took his pinky finger. He knows that he will never give him another chance. But he still decided to work against Yami, he has seen his true colours. But he is also nervous, after all, amongst Konoha's S Rank ninja, Yami's mosquitoes and other methods of spying are scary, especially with the newly released radio device by the Inuzuka Corporation. 

'Has he used it before to somehow spy on us… no that is a stupid question… he mostvlikely used a radio, which is undetectable back at the time. DAMN IT. Fu*k… that kid is damn controlling to the extreme.' Angirly thinks Jiraya, the radio not only gave Yami much more echonomical control, it also brought up some scary possibilities. Of course now that he is Hokage, Tsume Inuzuka is in charge of the Inuzuka Clan and his wife (the Daimyo's daughter) is in charge of the company.

'Yeah… like Yami would let someone other than him be in control of anything.' Thinks Jiraya as he comes up with different outcomes.

They had teaken every counter measurs against spying, mosquitos, people and even sendimg an electronic pulse of chakra that disables radios, and many… many more precautions. But even after all that, even though Hiruzen, Orochimaru and Jiraya reasured the others that there is no way Yami can spy on this… they can only hope that it is true. After all, underestimating Yami is something that none of them will ever do.

….

Yami on the other hand, was jjst casually walking around Konoha, with Tsunade at his side. He had teleported her and Shizune right back to Konoha. Now he is taking Tsuande to his office, to assign her a new position.

As they walk, Yami just extends his arm towards Tsunade. She looks at his arm and sighs. "You know people will start talking if I do something like that… plus aren't you married now? What would your wife say about it."

Yami just stops at this and looks towards Tsunade and looks at her as if looking at a stupid person, which kinda ticked off Tsunade. But before she could say anything...

"What? Are you some academy fan girl, that feels nervous just by holding hands with a boy." Says Yami, with a joking tone to his voice.

*sigh* Tsunade sighs annoyingly and grudgingly she grabs Yami's arm a little harshly and interlocks it with hers. 

Yami just smiles at this slightly and Tsunde frowns in fake annoyance. Both remembering the past… 

That is when Yami says. "Tsunade…
