Chapter 13

As I was talking with my new "parent" about the things that could threaten my life or how should the Root function now that I'm the leader. There is barely anyone that could kill me alive and the most dangerous person/thing should be Obito and Zetsu. Then again, Madara was also quite strong, not as strong as my stupidly OP butler, but strong enough to trash the kages and if not for the plot armor and other reasons, Kaguya would have succeeded. My only problem with her and Madara will be if I should take both of them with me or just one? And if it's just one, I will surely get myself a sexy maid rather than an old man that likes to kill things, for that I have Sebastian.

As for the Root, I decided to let it runs like nothing happen with the only new rule being that from now on, if they capture an enemy, to bring it to me, after all, I was the only one that could interrogate the prisoner without injuring him physically.

Just as I was about to ask Danzo about the current jobs of the Root, one of the undercover Root Anbu entered the room.

"Danzo-sama, lady Hokage has summoned you to a meeting, and as she doesn't know anything about Yoshida-sama, she didn't mention you, sir."

"What kind of meeting? "

"All of the clans' heads are going to attend and I heard from Tsunade-sama, that it will be about the Akatsuki and the Jinchuuriki."

"I see. You are dismissed."

After the ninja left, he turned his head towards me.

"What do you plan to do now? Would you come with me or will you go hunt for some missing-nins?"

"I'm coming with you. The Hogake needs to know the new head of Root. After all, we are still from Konoha, at least for now."

"Just don't make her angry or get on her bad side. She's had quite the temperament, so it's better for you to listen to her words and do your things."

"Don't worry about her. She won't be able to even hurt me."

Ten minutes later, we entered the meeting room and as soon as I put a foot into that room, all of the eyes were on me.

I know that I'm handsome and single, but fuck no, I don't swing that way, but I can let the Inuzuka lady, Shizune, and Tsunade look as much as they like at me. After all, how could I say no to a MILF, a sexy secretary, and a GILF?

"Danzo, who's that boy and why did you bring him here?"

"Tsunade, he's my son, Yoshida Haru, and the current leader of the Root."

When they heard his words, all of the people inside the room were shocked. And why shouldn't they be? After all the Root was a secret branch of the Anbu know only to the clan heads and the Hokage.

"Danzo-san, isn't it a bit too early to let someone so young to lead the Root? You know how dark that job is and giving it to a teenager may not be the best idea."

"They don't believe you are ready to play on the big scale, Haru."

Taking a glance at the silver-haired jonin, which I'm one hundred percent sure is Kakashi, I smiled.

"RISE !"

The whole room was silent and the feeling of dread washed over them.

Kakashi, Might Guy (Or should I call him Maito Gai?), Tsunade, and Hiashi Hyuga felt a hand on their shoulders. When they turned their head towards the person how was holding their shoulders, they saw the most horrific thing a human can see: A mummy head from where blue flames were escaping from all of the holes in the skull.

Athar turned his head sideways and took a good look at Guy while the other three mummies were watching the whole room.

"What do you require master?"

"Nothing Athar, I just want you to greet our allies, after all, we will work together in the future."

"No offense, master, but why should I greet some humans? I only serve you, my lord."

"Yoshida-kun, can you tell your… "

"My followers, yes, I can have them go back. Athar, I'll call you later when we will have to work on some volunteers."

"As you wish master and don't hesitate to call us, after all, we live to serve you."

When the four mummies disappeared, all of the people present in the room let a sigh that they hold the moment my mummies made themselves known.

"What does this mean Yoshida –kun?"

"I was just showing you that I can take care of myself."

"You put the life of our Hokage in danger, for that you should be executed."

"And who has the power to do it? You Hyuga? After all, if I want I can just leave this village and let you guys deal with Akatsuki alone, which doesn't sound like a bad idea, now that I think about it."

"That's your son, Danzo! And you want me to accept someone like him as the leader of an elite branch of Anbu? He doesn't even think about the lives of the civilians that live in this village!"

"Tsunade, he is my son, indeed, and believe me, he can wipe every single village out of existence if that's his wish so for once think for a second! Why would he react in that way? Isn't it because you didn't recognize him as the Root leader? And start calling him a kid? He isn't a spoiled brat, he knows and lives in the dark side of the world. And why should he care about the village when the village had left him alone and forced me to cut my ties to him. Your teacher, Hiruzen was the one that killed his mother and made him an orphan. I barely had any contact with him over the last 14 years. The only thing I'm grateful for is his dedication and the fact that he chooses to protect this village even if it wronged him. "

After a second, she turned towards me.

"Haru-kun, I'm sorry for reacting like that, but we are pressured by time and we have to deal with the incoming threat."

"Tsunade-san, do worry too much about Akatsuki. By the end of the day, the will cease to exist."

As my words here heard, nobody knew how to react, before Danzo start laughing.

"Hahaha, that's where you send half of your ninjas with that aid of yours, Ibiki, you should prepare your cells for some new guests."

"Danzo-san, how could you be so sure that they will be able to capture all members of the Akatsuki?"

"Because he has the power to do it, just wait for the results."

Saying that Danzo turned towards Tsunade.

"Now you see why I wanted the Hokage seat?"

"Yes, but that isn't what you want right now?"

"Thankfully for you, I'm getting old or I would have been the one in that seat, after all, I have the resources to work as a Hokage."

"I know that Danzo, but it isn't your piece to stay in the light and play nicely."

"Where is light, the darkness will shine ever brighter."

"Shady as always. Back to the important topic of our meeting, if what you said it's true, then I can relax, but in case your forces fail to capture the Akatsuki, what should we do? Any proposals?"

And just like that the already boring meeting becomes more boring with tons of strategies and plans to counter-attack the Akatsuki.

Good grief, people these days don't have any faith that someone could do the work for them and save their asses.

Making my way out of the room, I felt a glance on my back for a second before it vanished, well, someone is quite curious about me, and more interesting is the fact that the glance was coming from outside. Time to investigate.

Making my through the busy streets of Konoha, wasn't the easiest thing I could do, but I've got to say, the manga and the anime didn't give the place the respect it required. To be honest, when I thought about it, in the manga and anime Konoha was seemed to be quite small, but looking at the real deal, I've got to say that the whole village covered at least 5 times what was shown in the anime and manga.

As I was walking towards the general direction from where I felt the glance, I saw something interesting in a particular ramen stand.

In this particular ramen stand, a red-haired girl, a white-haired boy, and an orange-haired man, eating some ramen while the guy that was spying on me was staring in my direction.
