Academy Drama!

Fugaku and Itachi looked at Hiruzen with a stunned expressions. They hadn't expected Hokage to admit his fault, even though many knew about this, no one said anything regarding this.

After all, everyone saw the Sharingan symbol in Kyuubi's eyes during the attack, and only Uchiha had Sharingan as their Kekkai Genkai.

"Hokage Sama, even if you say this, why have you called us here? I don't think you called us here to just apologize." Fugaku said.

Even Itachi felt that the Hokage had changed and now he had a different type of confidence in him.

"Yes, you are right. I have called you here because I know what your Uchiha Clan plans to do." Hiruzen said, making Fugaku stunned and then he looked at Itachi, with slight anger.

"Don't look at Itachi, he did what he felt is right, though I understand where you are coming from, after all, even if Itachi is a member of ANBU Black Ops and a Ninja of Konoha, he is also Itachi Uchiha of Uchiha Clan." Hiruzen said, making Fugaku stunned, while Itachi lowered his head, as he had already accepted himself as the 'betrayer' of the Uchiha Clan.

"So, what do you plan to do, Hokage Sama?" Fugaku asked as he looked at Hiruzen and Itachi. Inwardly, he is frightened at the thought of all Konoha Ninjas attacking the clan.

"I want you two to help me stop the rebellion you have planned. In return, The Uchiha Clan will return back to your Ancestral Land, and your authority as Konoha Police Force will be increased and you will answer no one, except me. There are many other things we will have to work on to make Uchiha's image in Konoha better." Hiruzen said making Itachi and Fugaku stunned. They never expected Hokage to ask them to work together to solve the difference between the Uchiha Clan and the village.

"Hokage Sama, May I ask a question?" Itachi asked and Hiruzen nodded at this.

"Why are you doing this now? Since the Nine Tails Demon Fox's Attack, years have passed by and you have never done anything, so why now?"

"Itachi, You..." Fugaku was about to speak, but Hiruzen stopped him and said, "Why Now? It's because I met someone that helped me realize the mistakes I have made. I have been Hokage for a long time, and looking back, I can say I have never done anything good or made new things for Konoha."

"I have made a lot of mistakes, and now in my last few years as Hokage, I plan to solve as many issues as I can, and try to make Konoha like how it was before I was a Hokage. The Konoha that could fight all four villages at once, the village where every child would live peacefully, and the village that would follow the True Will of Fire."

As Hiruzen said, at first he looked like he aged for 10 more years but by the time his words ended, he gave the aura of a Veteran Ninja, The God of Shinobi.

Hearing him, Fugaku and Itachi also felt their blood boil as Fugaku remembered the books he had read about the past of Konoha. They looked at Hiruzen with an excited look on their face as with this, the relationship between the Village and the Uchiha Clan would get better, and they would even go back to their Ancestral Land.

"So, what do you think? Is your Uchiha Clan okay with this?" Hiruzen asked and hearing this, Itachi and Fugaku looked at each other and nodded. Seeing their nod, Hiruzen smiled, while he inwardly sighed in relief and said, "So, shall we start the talks?"

{FlashBack End}

The other new thing that happened in the Village is Naruto becoming one of the richest people in Konoha if not the richest in Konoha. This is because Minato, who loved to read, go addicted to Manga and Novels in the Landscape. He already knew how the Book industry worked as Jiraiya's novels were one of the best sellers, and comparing them to manga and novels Naruto had, Minato could surely say that they were better.

He started a Publishing company under Naruto and now months later, Naruto could issue several S-Rank missions at once.

As for Naruto's and Hinata's training, Minato taught everything he knew to Naruto and made him understand the difference between having a lot of chakras to use and using chakra wisely. Kurumi woke up after a month and because of this, Naruto abused Shadow Clone Technique to his limit.

He mastered, all the known Uzumaki Seals, and Flying Thunder God Technique, Learned Kenjutsu from the books Kushina wrote, and mastered 3 Tails worth of Kurumi's Chakra when Kurumi didn't allow him to use her chakra. If she allowed it and gave Naruto complete control, he could use Five Tails Worth of her Chakra.

Minato still hadn't opened Naruto's seal as he knew that Kushina had sealed her chakra in him, and Kurumi also stopped him from unlocking it as she wanted Naruto to meet Kushina later when he is going to Uzushiogakure.

As for Hinata, she practices Hyuga Clan's Jutsu and Nature Transformation with Minato and Kurumi's help. She met Kurumi and she was shocked at first, but after having a private talk with her, she accepted her and the next day, they acted like sisters.

This confused, both Naruto and Minato and they shrugged at it with the same thought in their mind, i.e. 'Women!'

Now in the Academy, Written Half-Year exams were done, and now, they are going to conduct the ShurikenJutsu and Taijutsu exams. For this exam, the most excited one is Sasuke, as with Uchiha's not getting killed, he is still a spoiled brat, and with Itachi training him every day, he had gotten more 'confidence' in himself.

"Sasuke Kun, This time to show that Naruto that you are the best."

"Hmph! Why would Sasuke need to show anything, he really is the best."

"Yes! You are right, Go for It, Sasuke Kun!"

The girls in the class shouted as they looked at Sasuke with fanatic expressions, and from the expression on Sasuke's face, everyone knew that he is enjoying it.
