Hiruzen, Danzo, Toka, and Shunsui sat down on the couches in the Hokage"s office. Nawaki stood between his mother and the Uchiha clan head. Hiruzen made a concerned face as if he knew why they were here but he asked anyways, "Shunsui, Toka, it is good to see the both of you. What can I do for you?"Shunsui and Toka both glared at Danzo. Toka gestured to Shunsui. He understood that she was signaling for him to open fire. He appreciated this since his clan was the one being scrutinized by Danzo. It was only because they had met the previous night that the Senjus were under surveillance as well.
Shunsui turned to Hiruzen and said, "You know why we are here. We know the truth. You are letting that snake do whatever he wants. He has too much power and is a threat to village security. On behalf of both the Uchiha and Senju, I demand that action be taken. It is now clear to me why our clan has been shut out of the political scene and isolated in the police force. I hate to even consider what actions would have to be taken if changes aren"t made."
Danzo scoffed and then Hiruzen said, "I see. What do you think should be done?" Danzo widened his eyes. This was the worst case scenario. The situation was rapidly getting out of control. The Uchiha must be stopped and he had dedicated his life to that purpose.
Shunsui then said, "I demand that a meeting if all the clan heads be held. All of the shady behavior that Danzo has been involved in must be revealed to us. I believe that the abuse of his power is enough to have him stripped of all privileges and punished for his actions."
Danzo felt like he was being pushed into a corner. He had to do something and fast. The only thing that came to mind was to kill everyone in the room and frame the Uchiha clan head. He scanned the room and decided that Hiruzen and Shunsui were the only threats. Unbeknownst to him this was a grave miscalculation.
Danzo turned to Shunsui and stood up before saying, "It"s treason then." As he said this Shunsui activated his mangekyo sharingan. Danzo started blurring through hand signs. However, before he could even finish, Nawaki had flickered behind him and knocked him out in one strike to the back of the head.
Hiruzen was awestruck. He snapped out of his confusion and signaled. Quickly several ANBU emerged from the shadows and detained Danzo. He then said, "Old friend, how far have you fallen. This is truly saddening. Shunsui, Toka, I will set up the meeting to occur later today. I apologize for these happenings and will find a way to reconcile."
Everyone was curious. However, Nawaki was extremely happy on the inside. He had just eliminated the cause of almost all of the problems within Konoha before they could even happen. It was nothing short of a miracle.
Later that day, all of the clan heads convened for a meeting. They were all surprised when they heard the news about Danzo. None of them saw it coming except for the Nara clan head of course. He had his suspicions but there wasn"t enough evidence to make any accusations. It was decided that Danzo had committed treason against Konoha and was executed.
Following this, Root was dissolved and wiped from the face of the world. Hiruzen mourned his friend. It hurt him that Danzo would not even get a funeral due to his crimes. No one knew it but this day would completely change the course of history. Nothing would be the same.
This became apparent immediately. After the meeting regarding Danzo, Nawaki approached Shunsui and offered some advice on how be could improve his clans standing in the village. They had the strength but needed the reputation. Nawaki suggested that they stop having the majority of their ninja join the police force and instead go on regular missions. This would help the civilians start to like the Uchiha. Nawaki also suggested that he open up the police force to ninja that are not Uchiha clan members. This would make it so that the negative impression of law enforcement would be spread out.
A few weeks went by and the changes started to show results. Many of the Uchiha left the police force. Several of the more talented members of the clan even became ANBU. In addition, many ninja from other clans joined the police force. The other clans jumped at the opportunity to a.s.sist with keeping peace within the village.
As per the agreement between the Uchiha and Senju, many Senju clan members went and we"re trained in the Uchiha"s taijutsu and shuriken jutsu. Among the two clans members, many friendships began to develop. Nawaki and Minato were invited to join Fugaku in his training. They were taught by Shunsui himself. The future looked bright. There were even rumours that some marriages might occur between the two clans.
About 4 months went by. They pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye. Team Jiraiya was returning from a mission. They were dealing with rampaging wild animals that were damaging crops. After they turned in their mission report Jiraiya turned to them and said, "You guys are progressing quite well. I have decided to nominate you guys for the upcoming chunin exams."
