Uchiha Brothers: A Naruto Uchiha Story

Chapter 6: Calm before the storm

Three months later

For the past year there has been a standoff between the elder council and the Uchiha council, both detesting each other. Fugaku, the clan chief attempted multiple times to reach a compromise as he wanted to avoid any unnecessary conflict as the village was still recovering from the kyuubi attack. Many of his fellow brethren were growing weary and wanted to retain their autonomy and the council wants to rid their power. The elders were called out his leadership "soft" and "coward" and it frustrated him to no end.

Due to the constant stress, he has begun to neglect his two son's training. His children's training progress was beginning to stagnate, and he knew it. He was trying to make a new schedule as his boys were already becoming impressive shinobi, they were at Genin level skill now. He noticed they still haven't mastered chakra control he tried to show them these new exercises, but it would finish with mixed results he almost snapped at them if wasn't for Mikoto.

"That's enough Fugaku!" said Mikoto in silent fury. "You are pushing too hard on them they're still children you're so stressed you can't even think straight now go take a rest it's obvious you need it."

"I'm fine I just need to show them they need to make progress."

"NO, GO TAKE A REST YOU HAVEN'T SLEPT FOR THREE DAYS!!!" Mikoto shouts the storm.

"FINE!" shouted Fugaku begrudging going back the room not even acknowledging his son's presence.

"What's wrong with father I never seen this angry is mad at us?" asked Sasuke trembling slightly.

"It's nothing your father is a little stressed with work he needs some time for rest.

Mikoto noticing how freaked out the boys are decided to have Itachi go out with boys. She needed to have a talk with Fugaku she understood her husband was only stressed out but deep down she was worried, the council was taking a toll on her lovely husband and wondered what future would for the clan but little she knew that future was coming to an end."

The next day: In an underground lair

"You summoned us my lord" said the anbu bowing down "Yes I believe it is time to commence the operation," said the shadowy figure.

Half his body was in bandages, he walked with a cane, wore an eyepatch and noticeable scar on his chin. "Yes, Lord Danzo everything has been prepared for the operation. All our men are stationed here waiting at your command." Said the root anbu.

"We'll strike tonight as security will be lower and it'll be easier for our escape now be on your way and wait for tonight, I will call you when the time is right" replied Danzo smoking his pipe.

"Hai" said the root anbu bodyflickering away. "Perfect everything is going according to plan this our chance to wipe put that wretched clan before they become a real nuisance... oh it's you," said Danzo towards the masked man. He wore the same type of mask although it was orange now with stripes all over and he now wore a kimono.

"Of course, why wouldn't I show up at such a perfect opportunity. This clan has outlived its usefulness. These fools never listened to me and now they'll pay for their mistake. They don't deserve to be called Uchiha, fools obsessed with power and killing each other for it. It's about time we get rid of that problem for my ultimate plan" said Madara siting on the ceiling of the tower.

"What makes you think your "project" will succeed. Your organization lacks the necessary manpower and resource to run such grand scale operation let alone run an army." replied the old war hawk.

"And that is where you're wrong my fellow ally. With the Uchiha clan wiped the face of the earth, it'll be easier the enact my project onto the world. My organization is growing every day, my friend because soon we will be the one that bring an end to this hate filled shinobi world." answered Madara.
