58 One tail

Shin was lying on the Hokage rock while overlooking Konoha, this month was a relatively relaxed one.

No upper level trying to bend him over and wreak his shit because he was an Uchiha, relationships heavily developed with Hyuga and Aburame and his missions with team guy.

Shin thoroughly enjoyed his fruits of labour and Kasamaro was busy developing mist, it had overtaken sand, rock and lightning in economic potential.

" And it will keep increasing, mist is peaceful and brimming with life. "

Shin's light whispers were carried by the wind as he silently overlooked the village.

It had a different kind of atmosphere today, because today was a special day, but Shin's carefree time was cut short as a wave of malice hit him from afar.

" What a strong bloodlust. "

Exclaimed Shin as he sat up and looked down with his Sharingan active, giving him eagle like vision.

His focus was on a red haired boy with dark circles around his eyes, he had two more riff raff around him.

Shin didn't bother remembering their names, they were weak and sucked hard, that was all he needed to know.

" Garra.. I really want to check if one tail is indeed the weakest, the dude was beaten by toad summon, he is a tailed beast for god's sake, that is seriously sad. "

Twitching his mouth after understanding the implications, Shin decided to stop observing Gaara and decided to keep watching over Sasuke, this was the reason he was sitting up here after all, to prevent Orochimaru from attacking Sasuke out of nowhere.

Itachi had contacted him a while back, his brother came up with a plan to use Orochimaru to their advantage, but that also meant Orochimaru was now on the scene, Shin was here to make sure everything stays on the right path.

Itachi after getting healed by Shin had steadily transformed into something quite overpowered, he kept tabs on Orochimaru without his knowledge and also got to know about the plan.

' He hasn't told me the complete plan but he is Itachi, the only one to break the unbreakable edo tensei, I think he got this. '

Thinking this Shin decided to leave a shadow clone to keep the watch on Sasuke, while he himself flickered away.

There was an unstable tailed beast right there, it would be shame if he doesn't compare how it's different from nine, six and three.

Garra and his two underlings- ah siblings were walking around Konoha like nobody's business, Garra is particularly was leaking murderous rage.

* Swish *

Garra's eyes shrunk as he instantly stood still, his heart rate sped up, he didn't know if this was because of the shock or sheer rage he was feeling.

" You.. you can touch me...! "

Garra's head turned sideways, his eyes looking at the one who managed to get past his absolute defence.

" Who are you!? "

Yelped the puppet ' master ' as he stumped backwards from the intensity of hate Garra was emanating.

" Let- let go of Gaara..! "

Said the Tema something, looking at her shin remembered wasn't she the one who calls herself the ' best ' wind style ninja...

Seriously? Her? In Boruto era maybe, kage were a joke why not let the standards fall even further.

Frantically complaining about the absolute disappointments in his mind, Shin nonchalantly raised his hand and grinned looking at all three.

" Howdy! I am the Uchiha patriarch and the head of the security department, your wanton killing intention is a little too obvious. "

Squeezing Garra's shoulder, Shin gave a kind smile.

" I am gonna have to ask you to tone it down, you have only one chance, cherish it. "

But Garra didn't cherish it, if the sand climbing Shin's legs was any proof.

And if that wasn't enough Gaara hand was beginning to come towards his shoulder, towards the place Shin had kept his hand on.

Looking at Gaara with a smirk and a tilted head, Shin exclaimed as his mouth cracked open.

" Oh? You are approaching me? Instead of running away you are coming closer! "

* Boom *

Gaara's vision went dark instantly as he felt himself being flung backwards.

The last thing he saw was his sand bindings scatter and an intermittent whisper.

" How ungrateful.. "

Kankuro and Temari stood still, they had their souls sucked out of them, quite literally, shin used the Rinnegan human path on the duo.

But he didn't need to kill them, so he used very low powered version of the technique he developed, it let's him read the memories without killing, but only the most recent ones.

* Gasp *

As Shin let the duo go, they gasped for air and fell to the ground, looking at him with fear.

Putting his hand on his chin Shin scrutinized the duo, meanwhile the commotion had brought the Konoha guard to the scene.

Watching the guard squad arrive kankuro somehow stuttered.

" H-hey! Is this how you Konoha treat your allies??! "

The guard looked at him with a side glace, and before the sibling's terrified gaze saluted Shin.

Looking at the trembling duo Shin Kindly reminded them.

" I am the head of security department remember silly! And you are planning an attack on our village it would seem! "

Hearing those words, the sand siblings were shocked, how did he know about it?! Their plan was supposed to be a secret.

" How I know about it you ask! Again, I am also the Uchiha patriarch! Patriarch! With a Sharingan and all, you yourself told me. "

Waving his hand he motioned the guards.

" Take all three in custody, I'll be right there. "

The guards rushed towards the trio and quickly apprehended them, meanwhile Shin was going to Hiruzen.

He needs to get the authority to manage the situation from him, it was but common curtsey.

It was almost time for Itachi's plan to commence, he would see what the one tail jinchuriki had to say until then, Gaara wasn't truly evil at heart after all.
