Mikoto for the last time I cannot let you adopt Naomi" Hiruzen said as two weeks has passed since the Kyuubi invasion and once Mikoto heard that Kushina died she immediately wanted to file for custody over Naomi.
Itachi was in the room holding his baby sister Satsuki as he wondered why Hiruzen didn't wanted Mikoto to adopt Naomi.
But why" Mikoto asked as she wasn't about to let the daughter of her best friend be a orphan where she will most likely be treated horribly.
Because Mikoto if the civilian council finds out that you adopted Naomi then they will try everything in their power to drag the Uchiha name through the dirt" Hiruzen said as Itachi stepped up and said.
But Hokage-sama can't you simply disband the civilian council and by extension the elders because if they don't want to listen to you then that would be considered treason" Itachi said as Hiruzen sighed.
If only that was simply Itachi, ever since Minato died the civilian council and the elders began getting so much power that they able to make desicions without my input" Hiruzen said as sadly as Mikoto scowled.
You're the hokage, the civilian council and the elders are nothing compared to you" Mikoto said as Itachi nodded.
Yes, you are the most powerful person in Konoha so the civilian council and the elders have no true power and quite frankly its time that you step up and show everyone that you are not to be messed with" Itachi said as Mikoto picked up Naomi and said.
And besides are you going to deny this cute little jelly bean a family" Mikoto asked as she tickled Naomi's stomach making her giggle.
Hiruzen sighed as he began rubbing his head as he took out a paper and said.
Sign this so the adoption can be official" Hiruzen said as Mikoto smiled as she did so as she handed the paper back.
Congratulations from now Naomi is a part of the Uchiha clan" Hiruzen smiled as Mikoto began cheering as Itachi smiled while baby Satsuki was giggling happily without knowing why.
Did I do the right thing Minato" Hiruzen thought as he looked out his window.
