Chapter 37

"You two can go home and rest. I will take care of the rest."

"Yes, master."

"Yes sir."

They disappeared.

"You have underestimated me too much. So much for The Darkness of the Shinobi."

I summoned 50 clones. 10 of them brought Danzo to prison and the rest raided his base, taking everything he has.

I found a lot of money and weapons, but I didn't find anything like a Sharingan or more of Hashirama's cells. I do have his arm so I guess that is enough.

After clearing out the entire base I went home.

[Next day]

I'm in my office with Shikaku and Ibiki.

"So what did you find out from the elders?"

"I found out that they have been leaking a lot of classified information to Danzo. They have also supplied resources and Shinobi to him." 

"I see, and what did you find out about Danzo?"

I removed all the seals he had on his body so his mind could be easily accessed.

Ibiki balled up his fist. I could see blood dripping from his hands.

"Calm down, you can't lose your cool like this."

"I'm sorry sir. But no one can keep calm after seeing what he has done."

"I can understand, just tell me what you think is the most important and write the others down."

"Yes sir. The most important I have learned is about the Uchiha massacre."

"I already know about that. What else do you think is important."

He had an uncomfortable expression on his face.

'Why does he have that expression?'

"He has made a lot of deals with Orochimaru and this criminal organization called Akatsuki."

"Did you find out anything about their location?"

"I only found out about a couple of Orochimaru's hideouts."

I sent a message to Itachi. He appeared behind me. Shikaku was shocked. Ibiki already knew about Itachi from Danzo's memories.

"Calm down, Itachi is with me. Ibiki tell Itachi about Orochimaru's hideouts and anything he needs to know about him."

"Yes sir."

"Itachi you will raid all his hideouts and take anything you find. If you find Orochimaru, capture him. Take as many Anbu as you need."

"Yes, sir."

"You two can leave now."

They walked out of the door.

"So Itachi must be the one who took care of Danzo."

"Yup."

I looked at one of the hidden Anbu.

"Tell Anko to come here immediately."

He disappeared.

"Shikaku, I need you to spread through the village what really happened at the Uchiha massacre. Make sure everyone knows that Itachi is a hero and tell them that he is the one who took out Danzo."

"Yes sir, I will take care of it immediately."

He walked out of the office.

5 minutes later I heard a knock on my door.

"Come in."

Anko came in and bowed to me.

"You called for me sir."

"Sit down on the couch."

She sat down. I took out a scroll and stood in front of her.

"Show me your Cursed Mark."

She started shaking.

"I have found a way to remove the mark without injuring you so show me your mark."

She looked happy and quickly showed me the Cursed Mark on her neck. 

I opened the scroll and put it on the mark.

<Cursed Mark Transfer Seal>

I pulled the scroll away and there was nothing left on her neck. I looked at the scroll and I could see the Curse Mark in it.

She started feeling her neck.

"It's really gone. Thank you so much!"

She stood up and hugged me. She started crying. I just hugged her back.

After she got back to her senses she stopped hugging me.

"I'm so sorry for suddenly hugging you sir."

"It's my job to look out for my subordinates and if that means to give them a hug, I'm happy to help."

"Thank you, sir."

"If will assign you your own team when the academy students graduate."

"Please don't, I'm really bad with kids."

"Having your own team will do you a lot of good, just trust me."

"If you say so, sir."

*BAM*

The door got smacked open and an angry old man came in.

'No one has respect for me, always barging in my office like it is their own.'

"Anko, can you please excuse us."

"Yes sir."

She walked past the old man and left the office. The old man closed the door.

"What have you done Naruto!"

"It's not good for people your age to get angry. You might get a heart attack."

"You better take this seriously Naruto. Why did you imprison Danzo?"

"Hahahahaha, I knew it."

"What is so funny?"

"You two are lovers."

He started blushing.

"Why are you joking while I'm being serious!"

'Wait, he didn't deny it. Don't tell me that they are actually a couple. Is that why Ibiki had an uncomfortable expression?'

"Hahahahahahaha, to think it would really be true."

"NARUTO!"

"Calm down old man. You know why I imprisoned him so why are you getting so angry?"

"I demand you to let him out now!"

'Is he being serious? He never acted so recklessly. He should know that he doesn't have any power left.'

"What will you do about it?"

I could feel his chakra spike up. Before he could make his move, someone appeared in front of me.

"I won't let you touch my master."

"Old man, I will forgive you if you walk away right now. If you choose to stay however, I will make sure you end worse than Danzo."

His chakra calmed down. 

"This isn't over, Naruto."

he walked away.

"Wasn't that the 3rd Hokage, why was he so mad?"

"I imprisoned his boyfriend."

"Boyfriend?"

"Danzo."

Haku was trying his best to hold in his laugh. I could hear the Anbu's giggling.

"Don't worry he won't hear you."

"Hahahahahaha!" 

All of them started laughing.

[Next day]

Sasuke P.O.V.

I'm walking through the village. I need to buy groceries.

While walking I heard two people talking about something that caught my ears.

"Have you heard about the news from the Hokage?"

"About the truth of the Uchiha Massacre?"

"Yeah, who would have thought that Itachi did it to protect the village and his little brother."

"I had cursed him so many times while the person I should have really been cursing was that guy called Danzo."

"Yeah, it's a good thing that the Hokage exposed the truth. We were always afraid of Naruto, but now he is the one who we all have to rely on."

'What, this can't be. Itachi told me he did it to test his strength. I need to find out the truth!'

I started running towards the Hokage tower.

Arriving there I went directly to his office from the outside. I knocked on his window. He stood up and let me in.

"Yo."

"Is what the villagers are saying the truth?"

"No hello back? Sigh, It is."

"Where is Itachi?"

He pointed behind me. 

I turned around and there stood Itachi. I got a lot of emotions from seeing him. But I need to know the truth first.

"What was the real reason you killed all our clan members."

"They were planing a coupe because they found that the village was treating them unfairly."

"Then why did you have to do it?"

"It was the only way for you to survive. If I didn't do it they would kill you too."

"Why didn't you tell me the truth!"

"I'm sorry, but if I told you they would kill you. It was the only way for you to have a normal life in the village."

"I don't care about staying in the village. I would have rather gone with you!"

He kneeled down and poked my forehead.

"As a big brother, I couldn't let you suffer with me."

I started tearing up. He hugged me.
