Conning the Crowd

As soon as Itachi took off his blindfold, gasps resounded from the crowd as they stared at Itachi's hollow eye sockets.

'Itachi Uchiha…. lost his sharingans?'

"You all must be thinking, 'Itachi Uchiha…. lost his sharingans?', am I right?" Akihiko said as the crowd freaked out.

Akihiko smirked as he continued.

"Why did he lose his sharingans? He's extremely powerful….so who can take his eyes away by force?"

"Most of you won't know about this but.. the 6 Paths of Pain that tried to attack Konoha was the leader of Akatsuki, a criminal group. Deidara and Itachi here infiltrated the group in order to give information from the insides.

However, as soon as the leader knew that the two were trying to betray the group, he tried to kill both Itachi and Deidara. They fought and Itachi and Deidara lost. Even though Itachi and Deidara lost, Pain still wasn't satisfied. He plucked out both of Itachi's eyes. Deidara risked everything into one attack and ran away with Itachi."

At this moment, everyone was convinced.

'They sure are dumb. Just some bullshitting and it is seen as the truth.' Akihiko thought as he continued.

"Now, you all must be thinking, "How can that happen? If that guy is so strong, why did he lose so easily?" The answer should be easy to guess. It's because I'm strong."

"This is what would have happened if I wasn't there." Akihiko said as he waved his right hand. Everyone in the crowd fell into a genjutsu as they saw Pain destroying the whole village with just one jutsu.

They were all shocked, terrified at Pain's power but now, they were even more curious about Akihiko's strength.

"That's all I have to say. It's your choice whether you want to trust Itachi and Deidara." Akihiko said as he walked back towards his family.

Besides the mothers, the kids whispered one after another.

"Mama, Papa is lying right?"

"Why do you think so?"

"Big Bro had his eyes when we first saw him."

"Good job."

They all got a pat on the head as they were proud of themselves.

It wasn't just the kids who sensed Akihiko's bullshit.

There was also Jiraiya, Kakashi, Guy, Tsunade, Shikaku and Shikamaru. However, since they knew Akihiko, they decided to trust him. He wouldn't do anything without a reason after all.

Jiraiya thought, 'Akihiko doesn't have any reasons to try and create discord in Konoha. It's not that he cares about Konoha, he just doesn't want lots of troublesome stuff for him and his family.'

After many minutes, someone from the crowd shouted.

"I'll put my trust in you, Itachi-san, Deidara-san. Please don't betray us."

Soon, following the first person, more people started following as Akihiko and his family all teleported back to the Uchiha Household as they all needed to have a talk. He left Itachi, Deidara and Sasuke

Itachi and Deidara had to talk with lots of people and they were tired of it after some time.

-----

Time passed as the guests in the Uchiha House decided to leave.

"T-Thank you very much."

"Eh? Sakura-chan, why are you thanking us?" Kushina asked as Sakura replied.

"I didn't get kicked out of here."

Almost everyone in the house started laughing as they heard Sakura's answer.

"Don't worry. We will be one family in the future after all." Mikoto said as the others nodded.

"Y-yes. I'll take my leave now. Thank you for everything." Sakura said as she left.

"Can we stay here for some more time?" Ino asked as Hinata also nodded.

"Of course." The wives replied.

"Where's Akihiko and the kids?" Kurenai asked as Pakura replied.

"They are out in the garden."

"I see." Kurenai just nodded as she thought, 'They should have more father-daughter bonding time.'

[Meanwhile]

*Poke* *Poke*

"Papa, why hasn't she woken up yet?" Renge asked as she continued poking Konan's face.

"She must be having a good sleep." Ayako said as she pointed at Konan.

"And having a good dream." Akiko continued as she moved her hands in a circular motion.

At that moment, an energetic shout surprised them.

"AISU! RUN FASTER!!!" Mirai was on top of Aisu Bearu's back as Aisu was running around the garden at high speeds.

"Aisu, stop." Akihiko said as Aisu immediately stopped. However, he made his stop gracefully so Mirai didn't drop from his back.

"Good job." Akihiko threw a cookie as Aisu took the cookie with his mouth and started eating it.

Panda and Gurizu were watching this as they thought, 'Should we also start selling our body for more cookies?'

"Papa, she woke up!"

"Oh?" Akihiko exclaimed as the kids all went near Konan, looked at her and asked,

"Are you alright?"

"Do you still remember me?" Renge asked as Konan was still staring at all of them. She was still a bit confused about the situation.

"Huh? Where am I?"

"You're in the garden~" Kyoko answered as Konan's mind finally cleared up. She remembered how Akihiko demolished both her and Nagato in a fight.

She looked to the right as she finally saw Akihiko who was looking down towards her.

She started shaking as she almost grinned before she calmed herself down.

"W-where is Nagato?" She looked at Akihiko and asked but he was not the one to reply.

"Nagato? Who's that?" Kiyomi asked as she tilted her head.

"Let's talk about that later! Sister, do you want to play with us? We don't have lots of people to play with. Only Papa, all the Mamas, our big brothers and pets play with us.

That's only ummm, 17 people to play with." Renge said as she nodded.

"I don't think that's right. There should be more. It's 20 people!" Mirai said as Renge fell into confusion.

She started counting with her fingers but she stopped at 10.

"Ah, I don't have enough fingers."

"Let's count using all our fingers together!" Kiyomi said as the kids got distracted by counting how many people they played with.

Meanwhile, Akihiko was still staring at Konan.

"Can you tell me what happened to Nagato?"

"Nagato? He should probably be dead." Akihiko said seriously as Konan's eyes started shaking. Nagato was the only friend she had left.

She glared at Akihiko who started chuckling.

The kids ignored their dad's chuckling as they were determined to know how many people they played with. Hina knew the number but she played along with her sisters as it was fun.

Konan continued glaring at Akihiko as she finally realized that he was joking around.

"Kids, can you all go inside to your mothers? Papa has some work to do." He said as the kids stopped their calculation and replied.

"Ok."

They all happily jumped on their way back to the house as they made a human train with Hina leading them. Gurizu, Panda, Aisu, Nyanta were all also following them from behind.

When they arrived inside, Renge made a shocked expression.

"What number did we reach when we were counting?"

The other kids also got a sudden realization as their mouths opened wide.

"We have to start from the beginning again."

All the people in the living room were quite confused as they heard the kids' words.

-----

"Well, wanna go and see Nagato?" Akihiko said as Konan was still staring at Akihiko, trying to see if he had any bad intentions.

"Okay. Don't try to do anything on the way." Konan said as she tried to use her Dance of the Shikigami but she couldn't. She didn't even have enough chakra to turn herself into paper.

She turned towards Akihiko who was still smiling.

"If I wanted to do something, you wouldn't even be able to stop me. And as for your chakra, I just took some necessary measures." Akihiko said as he waved his right hand.

While she was unconscious, Akihiko absorbed her chakra. However, he only gained some chakra to add to his chakra pool. It was due to the fact that Dance of the Shikigami was not a kekkei Genkai.

"Also, it was mediocre, no offense." Akihiko shrugged as he remembered the amount of charka Konan had.

But Konan misunderstood as she looked down at her breast and covered it. She felt offended.

"Did you molest me while I was unconscious?"

"Don't worry. Currently, even if you begged me on your knees, I will not touch your private parts." Akihiko said indifferently as Konan's body shook.

"Enough said. Let's just go to Amegakure."

"Ah!" Konan exclaimed as she was surprised by Akihiko's sudden movement. He lifted Konan up and put her belly on his shoulders as he carried her like luggage.

"Don't carry me like this!" Konan said but she was smiling.

"Shut." Akihiko just said one word as Konan's smile became even wider.

They both disappeared from the house as Akihiko teleported to Amegakure.

-----

"Phew. Finally, they left." Itachi muttered as Sasuke nodded.

"Anyway, the Hokage asked you to come to the office later." Sasuke said as Itachi nodded.

"Also, I have something to give you." Sasuke continued as Itachi smiled.

"Haha, I can die happily now. My little brother is even giving me gifts." Itachi muttered to himself as he asked Sasuke.

"What is it?"

Sasuke took out a jar with chemical fluids and two eyeballs in it.

"This."

He showed Itachi as Itachi tilted his head.

"Huh? I can't see it, Sasuke."

"Oh, sorry. I forgot about it. Those are my old eyes." Sasuke said as Itachi smiled and pulled Sasuke into a hug.

"Thank you, Sasuke."

"I just didn't want to let my old eyes go to waste." Sasuke said but he didn't try to dodge the hug.

"Also, wait for Akihiko to help you with the eyes."

"Sure."

"Now, let's go to the office." Itachi said as Sasuke led him there.

Deidara was sitting on the pavement as he drew circles on the ground.

"Lonely~ I am so lonely~ I have nobody~. Oh wait, I have you." Deidara said as he took out a cookie.

*Munch*

"Ah, now I lost you too."

-----

"Dad, do you want to rebuild this shop to make it larger?" Ayame asked as Teuchi nodded with his eyes closed, just like usual.

"Sure, Ayame. I'm going to retire soon after teaching you everything. I'll enjoy my remaining life playing with my granddaughters." He said with a large smile as Ayame just replied.

"Yeah sure. Then, I'll start the plan to rebuild the shop. Also, dad, am I qualified to advance to the next level of the ramengan?"

"Yes, Ayame. You're already qualified. I'll help you with it starting from tomorrow." Teuchi said as he was ready to sacrifice his eyes for his daughter.

'All for family.'

-----

"So, you had a seal in here as well." Konan said as she looked around and saw the place where the Six Paths of Pain, Jiraiya and Akihiko fought.

"Also, you have a nice ass." Konan said trying to make Akihiko blush. As for the reason, she just wanted to see his weak side to satisfy her sadistic tendencies.

"You too." Akihiko just replied with a straight face as only Konan's face reddened.

He went outside and pointed at the tower.

"Nagato is up there, right?"

"My head is facing your back. I cannot see anything." Konan said as Akihiko didn't reply.

He took out a Hiraishin Kunai as he activated his sharingan. He threw the kunai while aiming at the top of the tower. He used enough force for the kunai to reach the top and break through the window.

He teleported inside as he finally dropped Konan down.

"Umph!"

She stood up, dusted off her butt as she was speechless. She finally saw Nagato, whose eyes were hollow, blood was dripping down his mouth and his body was extremely pale.

"Nagato?"
