Aftermath part 1~
(Danzo)"now its our chance, to make it more believable hiruzen will probably wait until morning to retrieve the survivors of the attack, root you are to retrieve all scrolls contained in their library, then i also want you to kidnap some children from the uchiha so i can introduce them to our program, go"
"HA DANZO-SAMA" danzo left the room, and went to his office to get some rest.
Just when they were about to leave a masked figure dropped down from the ledges, it had a jokers mask, the ninja slightly tensed but that's all they shown of any emotion, and like marionettes they followed their leaders order to kill anyone who trespasses, they surrounded the masked figure and rushed foward with weapons in their hands, and just like a machine they barely made any noise when they attacked, there was no way out for the masked figure, it would certainly die, but at the last second...
(Narumi)"yog'sothoth:rule of time" the person said in a beautiful female voice, that voice which makes you drop your guard immediatly, a very dangerous voice in this world 'yog'sothoth:rule of time is one of three techniques from the kekkei mora (bloodline encompassing) yog'sothoth when i activate it time is in my control, i can slow down time or even stop it, the tecnique enhances my body to such a level that i can move during time stop, and its only because of my eyes that i can even see in total darkness, the skill is so powerful it just doesn't stop the time here, it stops the time in all of the multiverse, absolute time control, although the chakra cost is so great that i can only do it for a few hours, lest i die of chakra exaustion, yea that is possible with this, i can't even believe it.' 'Naruto said that the phoenix chakra tree was planted in a star that makes our sun look like a little ant compared to it, and the moment the fruit was ripe the star was consumed by a supermassive black hole, the fruit was then altered when it was hit by a gamma ray burst, then entered the black hole, and then travelled through dimensions, until it arrived on earth, the travel itself deteriorated the fruit and chipped away at its power, but the abilities remained intact, now i only need to unlock them, i can feel the fruit growing ever stronger in me'.
Everything stopped at that moment all of the ninjas were completely helpless and their minds stopped she walked to the neares one put her hands on his neck and pushed upwards with such force that his head was decapitated, even his spinal cord was on show as it was still connected to the leg, she mockingly applied wind chakra to the spinal cord and used his head as a handle, then she used it like a whip, the front row of ninjas were completely sliced through, the funny thing is that all the gore was still in the air, applying some explosive style to ger hand, she tagged the renaining ninja, in various locations, like the the head, stomach, crotch, then time returned to normal and she witnessed as they all exploded, it was so brutal, that it even showered blood, it was everywhere, painted on the walls, the ceiling, and the floor was a giant puddle of it, accompanied by rests of intestines, bones, brain matter among other thing 'explosive style inside their bodies make for a great show, this is art deidara, you should learn it from me~'

In the next room another masked figure was in the same position as the other when time started to move again
(Naruto)"yog'sothoth:rule of space" 'switch' in that instant the floor became the ceiling and the ceiling became the floor, all of the root-nin that were attacking got switched as well but it wasn't pretty, it was like they were cut in half and switched, their bottom half went to what was now their ceiling, while their top stayed on the ground, it was a complete abomination of physics 'yog'sothoth:rule of space, when i activate it i can copletely control space, and do what i want with it, this is what made me able to steal shisui's eyes from the hands of danzo, just like teleporting an object, and what made me injure obito even with his kamui activated, honestly yog'sothoth is the highest pinnacle of space-time ninjutsu, nothing ever comes close to it, everything is useless in comparison to this, the only limit is the users imagination. This completely defies modern physics, but those humans were very conceited, they though they had things figured out but they didn't understand anything, they were content in living in their own bubble, thinking that they understood everything, when they only knew very little'.
He though this as he continued walking towards danzo's office killing everyone with his chains or his bones 'the dead bone pulse is such a good bloodline, even more so when they combined with our rinne chakra rods to make that black night sky color, it is very shiny oh yes, the good thing about this is that if one hits you even if its just a scrach it throws the targets chakra control out of whack, making them unable to use chakra for anything for a few minutes, and our chains that can suck the chakra right out of a person, it seems mother combined the adamantine sealing chains with the outer path: chains, this is pretty dangerous alright if it can suck a bijuu chakra in 30 seconds imagine what a normal person might feel'.
(Narumi)"i made an experimental seal you guys are going to be my test subjects~" she said while dodging various swords with amazing grace, she then jumped back and put some distance between the group that was guarding the door to danzo, her index finger glowed dark blue in the tip and she started writing in the air with impressive speed,then a seal formed in the air "sealing arts: blood sealing" the seal sucked the blood out of everyone but narumi in the room leaving them completely dry, the seal then exploded making another pool of blood "ara~ it seems i need to fix it, while it is fun the seal can't explode all the time~ so... so so so.. it's time for you to die~ Danzo~" she then entered the room, his office was big , perfect for combat.
(Danzo)"it seems you had some fun going through my troops" he gritted his teeth in anger and frustration, the man took out all of his bandages showing a white arm with 10 sharingan eyes moving around creeply and his one of his eyes was also a sharingan 'it isn't shisui's that's a pity, this tramp had to steal it for herself'
(Narumi)"ara ara~ ufufu~ i see so you were the one sending all of those sanctioned suicide missions, you preyed upon monkey's little grudge, and after those uchiha died your little army would go and 'retrieve' those eyes, it makes sense now as there is no one outside of our village going around with an implanted sharingan, just like kakashi, but what are you going to do with that arm?" She feigned ignorance.

(Danzo)"hmph a simple murderer like you doesn't need to know" danzo finished three seals, then rushed foward and tried to punch right in the mask, but it was before ho could hit a strange black aura surrounded her and formed a ribcage protecting her from his attack.
(Danzo)'A sussano'o? No something is diferent, but what is this feeling of hopelessness?'
A sea blue sphere formed behind her, it was the size of a tennis ball, then it fired a beam, instantly going through and turning the chest of the man into charred ash.
(Narumi)'hmmm got to love plasma release, the combination of fire, lightining and wind, the second most offensive chakra nature, its destructive and killing power is off the charts' just then the man disapeared like a mirage, having activated izanagi prior to the fight. Izanagi, one with the mature sharingan can activate this ability, it is essentiatly a genjutsu cast on one's self, and you can alter your state of being depending on your situation, for example one can make anything undesirable that happened to them an illusion, essentialy making injuries or death scenarios an illusion, like it never happened, the duration of izanagi is 60 seconds, or once you change something, and the intensive mana cost, and losing one's eye, make this a last resort techique, although for danzo who had 11 eyes to spare in his body alone, it made for an ideal skill to win fights against stronger opponents in his old age.
(Narumi)'but it is not enough Danzo, in the face of an overwhelming force 10 more lives will only delay the inevitable, 10 more lives means that i can kill you in ten more painful ways ufufufu~'
While narumi was playing with danzo naruto was going to the archives.
(Naruto)'We still haven't caught the slave trader here in konoha, i hope i can find some clue in there, maybe danzo even has the location of the leader of the mafia, and the slave ring that has been going on in the fire country, after all danzo always buys some slaves, especially the young as his program of erasing emotions works better the younger the child is' 'even so these roots never end do they' he said as another group went in for the strike "You're in the way" naruto pointed his figers at the coming ninja, and little black pellets came out of his hands, and pierced without fail even those that tried to block the little bullets.
(Naruto)'sa let's see if i can find something interesting' he opened the door to the archives, he started sooping around, and found what he came for 'so Danzo knew one of the slave traders that set up shop here, Sakiri Haruno, in colabration with the mafia brach here in konoha... Sakiri Haruno? the pink council woman with the voice of a banshee? THAT BITCH! it didn't end with what she did in the past? she still does this sh*t? GRRR... SHE WILL PAY! kuh calm down, good things will come to those who wait' "even so sakura is following right inher footsteps, her unnatural crush on that sasuke boy, her double personality, it is only a matter of time before she goes batshit insane and starts commiting crimes.. no maybe she already lost her sanity, grr.. we need o send a 'message' to sakura soon, maybe after we can plan something to either correct her attitude or worsen it depends on her..." as he was walking towards the exit, he came across a name that made him release copious amounts of killing intent, if there were anyone close by to receive it they would have died purely out of shock, he walked towards a file, that file had a red spiral with the name uzumaki...
Narumi felt her older twin approaching, she was currently painting her nails with the blood on the floor, on her back was a chain passing through her dress, the cloack and mask alrady discarded, the chain was holding one of Danzo's legs as it contibnued throwing him in the floor and lifting him up, it brought the man down again and with a sick noise of the ground breaking on impact, the puddle beneath that dried on the floor and his head that exploded just like a watermelon, the corse disapeared in a mirage, it apeared again but Danzo fell on the ground, his mouth frothing, his eyes on pointing on the back of the head
(Narumi)"Ah~ Danzo-chan~while izanagi is an impressive sharingan technique, it has a fatal flaw for sadists such as me, while your body may return to normal, the things you experienced are not erased, so even if your injuries are made an illusion, the pain, trauma, everything related to your mental health and sanity will be affected, you already died 7 times, bravo, it took you seven painful deaths to turn you into a vegetable, hah the pain of dieing must be great huh~ even with your so called mental conditioning you couldn't even maintain your mind" she picked him by the hair and lifed up "un, you are really useless and weak" she then dropped his head, he hit the floor and he started bleeding from an injury, the eyes in his arm closing one by one, until the eye in his right socket closed forever, signifying that had no more second chances.
She cut off his head and started spinning it around with a finger like a basket ball.
After that she put his head in her kamui dimension, and started skipping until she met her brother, and both went to the exit of the underground base, and then he gave the file with a red spiral, she started reading it, then a lone tear fell from her face, and like a dam she started crying and naruto only held her as she cried on his chest, once they were out she activated her eyes in anger then focused and black flames came out, like a tidal wave it hit everything inside and burned it, not even ashes remaining, then the mountain caved in and destroyed the passage two days later Danzo's head would be found on the hokage's desk, as a little prank.
(Mikoto)"heh? Can you please repeat that narumi-chan?" The matriarch asked with a little hope on her voice.
(Narumi)" i said we had an uchiha living there already, uchiha shisui, i was doing my morning training and a little bit of hunting when i came across his body, he was badly injured and was missing both eyes, honestly if i hadn't healed him in time and brought to my apartment, the creepy part is the next day someone delivered a jar with with two eyes in it in front of our door, i did some medical jutsu and found them to be compatible with him, almost too compatible, but why would someone rip his eyes just to deliver it the next day, strange" she mumbled the last part "in any case he had all of his limbs broken, a few bruised ribs, internal bleeding, chakra exaustion, i did the eye surgery with the help of onii-chan, then healed most of his injuries, he is very stubborn, saying that he needs to prevent something, but he needs at least a week to rest".
Both sarutobi, and mikoto gazed at the girl in disbelief.
(Sarutobi)"Narumi-chan why didn't you take him to the hospital?"
(Narumi)"datte saru-oji i can't stand the hospital the smell there is so strong, and besides, i needed a test subject to see if my medical skills are good!" She said with a wide innocent grin, both Sarutobi and Mikoto face vaulted at the 'test subject' part.
(Mikoto)"My nephew is alive" she teared up a bit at the news.
(Sarutobi)"It's great that he is alive, but are you sure that you got his eyes in front of your door, do you have anything else?" 'Was it perhaps joker that itachi mentioned, it must be after all he had shisui's eyes
(Narumi)"hai, if there was something there was a pice of paper sticking to the jar, it had a smile face made with blood, quite a sick joke" ' oh my god i became such a great actress that i can lie straight to his face, a kage level ninja can detect lies by the fluctuations of chakra, dilation of pupils, sweating, and quickening of pulse even at a distance, among other signs, the fact that i do none of those thing, will make him believe anything i tell him, the fact that i am a granddaughter to him and the daughter of his predecessor, will make me and my brother the last people on earth he will suspect of being the serial killer joker.
(Sarutobi)"i see then we will need to put some precautions in case something else happens" he petted my head, i closed my eyes to enjoy it, ah pet me more~ he then removed his hand and i pouted "so then Mikoto, narumi-chan here offered her apartment complex for you and the survivors to live, what do you think?, it could solve your home problem until the clan coumpond is cleared up from investigations"
(Mikoto)"i wouldn't want to impose"
(Narumi)"no problem, no problem, it gets pretty lonely there, and you can keep company to shisui-san"
(Mikoto)"even if we stay there permanently? A lot of children lost their parents, so i doubt they would want to go back to the coumpound so we would need to find a new place for all of them to live"
(Narumi)"you worry too much mikoto-obasan, the livelier the better~".
(Naruto)"Mikoto-obasan you better take imouto-chan's offer, the place is very big, it has a lake, and 2 training grounds, a natural hot spring, and the best cook in the world, Narumi."
(Mikoto)"Well if you insist~" then we finished the good ramen, payed and left.
(Sarutobi)"Narumi-chan you must be pretty talented to make an eye surgery at your age" 'no kidding, eye surgery is pretty advanced medical ninjutsu, although this is narumi we are talking about, both her and naruto absorbs everything they learn like a sponge, not even geniuses like minato, kakashi or itachi can compare, they would be contenders to graduate early, but the council wants to pass a motion to take out the option of early graduation, they don't feel like creating another itachi, a clan killer, by graduationg and putting responsabilities on one so young, they feel like itachi cracked under the pressure of being an anbu captain at his age, if only they knew the truth' sigh 'at least with this motion they won't have to experience what being a ninja really is so early in life, let them enjoy their childhood, at least that's what hashirama-sensei envisioned when he created konoha, to stop sending children to their demise'.
They walked towards the apartment building owned by the twons and finally arrived, after a little bit of tour around the land, they finally arrived in narumi's and naruto's apartment.
(Narumi)"onii-chan go lead them to tge guest room where Shisui is resting i will make some tea in the meantime"
(Naruto)"hai..hai so let's go" narumi went to the kitchen to prepare the tea for the guest while naruto led them to the guest room.
(Naruto)"Shisui is inside, i will give you some privacy, just don't forget to go to the living room to drink some tea, he then left the two in front of the door.
Sarutobi opened the door and inside was a man sitting on a bed, he jad spiky raven hair and obsidian black eyes, he had the typical uchiha complexion, he was looking out the window, to the clouds to pass time he then turned to see the visitors, and was surprised to see them.
(Shisui)"hokage-sama! Mikoto-sama what are you doing here?"
(Sarutobi)" maa, maa shisui narumi told us you were here, honestly when you went missing i feared the worst"
(Shisui)"hokage-sama where is itachi? What of the coup?"
(Sarutobi)"without your kotoamatsukami there was no more peaceful resolution, i sent itachi to kill everyone involved in the coup, he accepted on the condition of sparing his mother and girlfriend izumi, the rest are children who had no clue as to what their parents were planning, after he completed the mission he went on another one, to spy on a certain organization composed of s-rank criminals as a member himself." By the end of the explanation shisui was grasping his sheets with an expression of worry.
Mikoto by the hokage side was clutching her dress hard and let a few tears of grief fall in the floor
(Mikoto)'why did you send my baby boy in such dangerous missions, he is still 14 years old, and has already sacrificed a great deal for this village' "Sarutobi, promise me that one day itachi will return home"
(Sarutobi)"hai i promise"
(Mikoto)'Itachi please stay safe, you don't need to sacrifice your life, just come back to me once you completed the mission'
(Sarutobi)"Narumi's medic knowledge must be great for you to already be up, i am very impressed" 'if she continues like this she will surpass tsunade in a few years'.
(Shisui)"ah narumi-chan is amazing really, if it weren't for her i would have, either died, or lost all mobility, and live my life as a cripple, i am sure she downplayed my injuries, i was in a very bad shape, most of my bones were grinded to dust, i was bleeding from various organs, my spine was snapped, and i had multiple head traumas, i would be surprised if konoha hospital would do the same, she healed me in one day! Now i am doing some rehabilitations, and maybe i can return to being an active ninja next month".
(Sarutobi)"I see" 'scratch that narumi may as well have already surpassed tsunade, even so what really drove her to learn medical ninjutsu with such fervor'"i will leave you two alone, i can smell the tea leaves in the air, and it is calling me" the hokage then left the room.
(Mikoto)"Shisui can you help me take care of the clan or what is left of it"
(Shisui)"of course! What do you need me to do?"
(Mikoto)"I will take position as the clan head and while itachi is out of konoha you are the heir"
(Shisui)"what about sasuke?"
(Mikoto)"ah, he is in a coma, it will take some time for him to wake up" ' am i forgetting my second son' she started remembering fugaku's face on her second born and hatred started to swell upon her, it was just a seed on the bottom of her heart, but it would grow in time.
(Shisui)"i see"
(Mikoto)"Shisui, our vaults were robbed by the masked man, the same man who used the kyuubi to attack our village" he widened his eyes "so we are effectively broke, after you completely heal i want you to go on missions to earn money for the clan, i will call those that have a debt to our clan around fire country in the mean time, we need to amass wealth to provide for the new generation, while narumi has offered her place to stay, we can't be living off her goodwill, she is still the landlady, after that we will pay our debts to her in full, our pride won't allow it" 'at least our pride will serve for something good'
(Shisui)" hai mikoto-sama, at least we have a chance to rebuild our clan, there is one thing i need to show you, you already know i have the mangekyou sharingan, and you already know what my ability does, i also have the sussano'o, but..." he activated his mangekyou, but instead of the normal elipse pattern, two patterns were seen signifying the eternal mangekyou sharingan.
(Mikoto)"how !?..."
