Uzumaki-Namikaze Prodigy: Book 1

Chapter 9

A/N: Happy Holidays everyone. Sorry for the delay. I never knew school can be so dramatic, and so this is the first time in months I have time to write.

Chapter 9: Hidden Truths

Danzo was planning something big. Every night under the cover of darkness, the war hawk sneaks outside of the village to meet with Iwa nins, and this night was no different. His plan was unknown to the public, as not even the Hokage and the rest of the advisors knew of his discrete behaviors. Danzo was crafty and manipulative. However, considering Iwa wanted to pay Konoha back for their losses in the Third Shinobi War, they were more than happy to help Danzo with his plans. 

"Foo, Torune. Report."

Torune responded, "The kidnapping was foiled, Danzo-sama. The Fourth Hokage captured the Iwa nin. I'm afraid that rumors of a spy within the council has started as well."

Danzo growled in annoyance, "Try to shove the blame towards Fugaku Uchiha." The Uchiha clan has never been trusted since their dislike towards the Senju leadership was well known, and Danzo's plan to use this rumor to destroy the Founding  Clan was clever; however, what he did not know was that the Uzumaki clan was keeping a close eye on the events and knew that the Uchiha clan was innocent. 

Arashi Uzumaki was in the Uzumaki compound sorting out his paper work. He knew there was something going on, and was afraid that it might cause trouble to their clan and as well as the Nara, Hyuuga and Uchiha Clans. He was seen going to talk with the Jonin Commander, Shikaku Nara about his frustrations, and soon they came to the conclusion that only someone close to the Hokage could have leaked the sensitive information required for the Iwa nins to have even come close to the Hokage mansion.  

Shikaku said, "Neko, summon Inoichi, Choza, Hiashi and Fugaku."

Neko did as commanded and went to find the four clan heads. 

Arashi asked, "Do you think our secret alliance and you know who's actions will be revealed during this conflict?"

Shikaku sighed, "Most likely. I am still amazed that you managed to hide the fact that the Uzumaki clan was involved with us in the first place. Considering most of our families are Capture-Interrogation-Assassination specialists, I'm shocked you managed to get your grandson involved without Minato finding out."

Arashi said, "What my son-in-law does not know, won't hurt him. However, unlike my elder grandkids, Naruto has potential as a sensor and poison user."

Inoichi interrupted, "Is that why you did not complain when you found out that Naruto was training with you know who."

Arashi chuckled, "He's Naruto's godfather, it won't be suspicious so I just didn't speak against it when Naruto began has research alongside you know who's other student."

Shikaku said, "So, Inoichi. Did Ibibki get that Iwa nin to crack yet?"

Inoichi said, "Its a tough one. It appears that the Iwa nin was trained to withstand torture, so it will be awhile."

Fugaku arrived in annoyance, "Honestly! Why in the world does the village think the Uchiha Clan would betray the village. If anyone is more likely, it would be that damn war hawk; have you seen him after he got shot down for the Hokage position? Not even you know who was this bad when he was competing with Lord Fourth."

Hiashi growled, "The Hyuuga clan has also tried to keep an eye on Danzo through the shadows, and it was easy enough when you know where to look, but there is still so much that the Hyuuga clan still can't find."

Choza sighed, "Other than Danzo, I believe that you know who has started up his poison and antidote research again. He needs to be careful, considering we all have suspicions on that war hawk to try and manipulate Minato's view on who the traitors really are."

However, even though they knew that Danzo was the mastermind and the traitor, they knew that they had no quantifiable proof. Danzo was good at hiding his tracks and whenever there is a loose end, he was do whatever necessary to destroy it, which is why Inoichi ordered that the Iwa nin be guarded 24/7, and in order to stop assassination through poison, only Inoichi or someone close to him, like Ibiki, is allowed to get near the kidnapper.

Arashi sighed, "We'll get proof sooner or later; however, before then I'll have you know who stay close to the Uzumaki clan, and Fugaku, it might be best if you stay close to the Nara clan, we don't want Danzo to try to frame your clan for anything he did, this way you will have an alibi."

Fugaku asked, "Is that why you ordered your spy to keep an eye out on my clan?"

Arashi nodded. 

Fugaku's eyes became calmer, now that he knew that his closest friend among the group did not suspect him.

Hiashi said, "Alright, if that is all, we should get back to our clans before they realized that we were missing."

The others chuckled and they went back to their respected clans, not noticing that a blonde hair kid and Weasel were listening in through the small seal hidden on Arashi and Fugaku's robes.
