"...it looks like he won't come..." - Jirobo

"I can see it myself, you disgusting fatso!" - Tayuya

"So, looks like we have to take him by force then?" - Kidomaru

"Of course, you dipshit!" - Tayuya

The Sound Four decided to kidnap Sasuke, so they moved towards his home.

Sasuke woke up in a room, he didn't recognize.

After the usual short confusion after waking up, he remembered what happened yesterday.

"So, what's your answer? You helping me kill that Danzo?"

Eiji's clone was leaning against the wall while yawning.

"My answer? I will kill him myself, so don't but in!"

"Is that so? This guy is pretty strong, you know...so you sure you can do that? Isn't that the reason you wanted to join that slimy snake bastard Orochimaru?"

"!"

"Calm down, I'm just joking, the current you should be able to defeat him since you awakened the true power of an Uchiha, which is stronger than everything Orochimaru could give you..."

"What are you talking about?"

Eiji's clone smiled and handed him a hand mirror.

There Sasuke could see a new form of Sharingan.

He successfully awakened his Mangekyo Sharingan!

"This..."

"Yeah, it's the Mangekyo Sharingan."

Sasuke's face turned hostile towards him: "How do you know about it?"

"I'm Hokage, so I have access to a lot of information (again a shameless lie)...anyway since you agreed, leave my house stealthily since this Danzo has some people keeping an eye on my home at all times. Though they aren't able to do a good job since they're keeping a good distance to not get noticed, so you shouldn't have any difficulties."

"You...tell me first where I can find him!"

"We will meet at midnight in the woods near the waterfall."

"You lure him out there for me to kill him or what?"

Eiji's clone had an amused smile: "No, I will train you, so that you are able to use your Mangekyo Sharingan ."

With those words, the shadow clone dispelled.

Eiji was looking at all the papers in front of him, then at Danzo who sat beside him.

It was finally decided that today in the afternoon it would be made public, that Eiji is the next Hokage.

At least he wouldn't need to give a speech in front of the whole village since it was decided that because many lives were lost from the attack not long ago, it would be inappropriate to make a celebration out of his inauguration.

Still, he already needed to do his duty as Hokage and do all kinds of paperwork.

"Is it really so interesting for you to watch a child suffer from forced child labor? I know you don't trust me and want to remind me that I'm under your control, but it's just boring paperwork..." - Eiji

"Hmph!" - Danzo

"Right, right...at least let me take a break..." - Eiji leaned his face on the desk with dead fish eyes.

But suddenly his eyes turned lively.

His shadow clone which told Sasuke yesterday everything and kept guard while he slept in Eiji's bed, was dispelled.

'Hmm, looks like everything went like planned...'

But after seeing the mountain of papers in front of him, his eyes turned into dead fish eyes again.

"What do we do now? We searched the whole village for him, but it looks like he disappeared..." - Jirobo

"Tsk, shut up you damn pig! Don't tell what I already know!"  - Tayuya

"But he is right, what are we gonna do now? If he contacted Konoha's higher-ups and is hiding somewhere, we have a huge problem..." - Kidomaru

"With his personality, there is no chance that he wouldn't keep his mouth shut. He is probably still deciding, so we'll wait a bit longer!"

CrusadeAgainstFurries

A bit of a shorter chapter than usual, but I don't want to end it at an awkward spot, so...

Anyway, I noticed many aren't happy with Eiji being Danzo's puppet, but it's only for a short time and the conclusion for this short arc will make up for that - at least I hope so.
