Shattered Sun

Staring down the abyss

Naruto knew Danzo had grown paranoid about him. The man's paranoia was a catalyst for most of the events that lead to Pein destroying Konoha. His decision had weakened the village just right for Madara to dominate the Fourth Shinobi War. Naruto knew that each clan's destruction was premeditated by Zetsu.

Uzumaki was destroyed because their sealing abilities would have been a boon against the White Zetsu army as well as when faced against the Juubi.

Senju was destroyed because of the possibility of Ashura's rebirth.

Uchiha was destroyed because of the Sharingan.

It was only a matter of arrogance on Zetsu's part that it completely overlooked the Hyuuga and their distant connection to Otsutsuki Hamura. Or perhaps because, had Naruto been sentimental when it come to that mad creature, Zetsu hesitated because of their Byakugan reminding it of Kaguya. But he's not. He knew that Zetsu looked down on all humanity.

He was Kaguya's living legacy after all.

Naruto was willing to even admit that perhaps the destruction of Hamura's clan was also because of Zetsu. Speaking of, should he made contact with the Toneri of this world?

He shook his head.

He's still not stable enough to attempt anything like going to the moon.

He stopped his stroll and looked over his shoulder, "How can I help you...Shimura Danzo?"

The cripple stepped out of the shadow, "You're not ordinary at all,"

Naruto looked at him, "Kotoamatsukami wouldn't work on me,"

The man tensed, "I don't know what you're talking about,"

Naruto scoffed, "I know you, Danzo. I know your methods and I know your secrets. I know the length you would go for Konoha and for that reason alone you have my respect but that is all. Your scheming will lead to the ultimate destruction of Konoha. It is only a matter of time,"

Danzo scowled, "You don't know what you're talking about, boy,"

Naruto flashed his Tenseigan, causing the man to blink in surprise at the unfamiliar Dojutsu, "Don't I?" He hid his eyes once more, "I would warn you against trying to manipulate me. My tenant won't be happy and when he's not happy...well, you know full well what he's capable of," He tapped his belly, "Releasing him was only a matter of thought for me,"

ROOT agents surrounded him as Danzo sneered, "There you are a threat to Konoha!"

Naruto wasn't even fazed, "Wrong. Your paranoia will lead to the destruction of Konoha. Tell me...do you recall what you did in Amegakure?" Naruto's smile was cold as he eyed the elder, "Do you honestly think an Uzumaki will lie down and die, especially after you completely destroyed his world? Have you not wondered...who is in charge of Ame during this time?"

Danzo frowned. The boy knew too much, he needed to be eliminated. But there's a feeling in the air, a feeling that warned him against making a move on the Jinchuuriki. He recalled the golden titan that protected Konoha. He believed that such power should be under control and preferably his. How else would he ensure the safety of Konoha?

Naruto scoffed, "Until the end...you are a coward," He looked at the agents and his eyes landed on one to which he frowned, "Your destruction of the Uchiha clan leads to the greatest weakening of Konoha. War is coming and it will be devastating because the best chance we had have been wiped by your hand. You planted the seed of hatred in the heart of the strongest man in Amegakure, a man strong enough to call himself a god amongst men. Konoha will be crushed by him personally,"

He glared at Danzo, "Tell me, Danzo, in what way have your decisions helped Konoha other than solidifying your stand in it? In your greed for the title of Hokage, you have doomed the whole of Konoha to the vengeance of a man who held the Dojutsu of Rikudou Sennin,"
