198 Gods among men
"Come in." Aoto said as he looked around to see if there was someone as if looking around would reveal if someone was snooping around or not.
Fugaku came in and took off the hood that he was wearing. This indicated that he had sneaked away and made sure that nobody knew who he was. After coming inside he took the hood off and sat down.
"You really have some worse timings." Aoto said as he served him some tea.
"What can I say, after knowing so much I have to be very careful of my actions." Fugaku said as he sipped in some tea. He always loved the tea in Aoto's home. Made him calm.
"So how can I help you?" Aoto asked.
"They have already started moving against the clan." Fugaku said. Aoto nodded his head as he knew. Though there had been a huge butterfly affect due to the inclusion of Aoto but something were the same. It was as if the world was trying its best to correct itself. For this reason, Aoto had asked for help from his friends in keeping an eye around.
He had asked Yorichi to shadow Shisui, as this was where everything went wrong. And according to Yorichi, Shisui had visited the Hokage's office twice which was unusual, because he belonged to the police force.
And also from he and Itachi had been having more deep conversations than before. They both were best friends but over the past few weeks there had been a bit too much of hush-hush between the two. This was enough for Aoto to know Shisui was following his path.
"Oh! Why do you say that? They should have calmed down since you have imprisoned some of the members of the clan who were voicing against the village. By the way congratulations on cracking down on them." Aoto said. Fugaku looked embarrassed and said.
"All this time I had my own selfishness but now that I know what is the bigger picture I needed to take some stands. Hoping that the village would see my work and make our lives better but it seems the village is still adamant against us." Fugaku said. The ones who wanted a coup were imprisoned and he did so with evidence of wrong doing against the clan, not against the village.
One of them even had some shady dealings with Kumogakure so it was quite easy to pin them down and take them away. The evidence made sure that the people of the clan understood that they were being taken away for harming the clan and not for harming the village. Thus the people of the clan didn't hold it against the Patriarch.
This was a great move from the Uchiha clan and was quite the buzz in the village.
"So what advice do you need this time?" Aoto asked.
"I have noticed that Shisui and my son are getting too close. He has a Mangerkyo sharingan so I fear he might do something that will be a disadvantageous to the clan as he might be brainwashed by my son." Fugaku and looked at the face of Aoto to see if there were any changes when he said that Shisui had Mangekyo.
He was really surprised to see that the Mangekyo of Shisui didn't move Aoto at all. How far did this guy knew? What was written in the books of library to know so much.
"I understand Fugaku-san and I have kept an eye on Shisui and your son." Aoto said. Again Fugaku was surprised but he understood why Aoto kept an eye on him. This guy knew so much so of course he would use his force to keep an eye.
"The last time you told me that you will help us get out of this mess. Is there any hopes for that?" Fugaku asked.
"Fugaku-san, I can help you with the survivability of the clan but I am not sure if you and our clan is ready." Aoto said. Those words came as some kind of wonderful wind chimes on the ears of Fugaku as he was ecstatic to hear that.
"But..." Aoto said. Fugaku's light on the eyes the moment Aoto said but he held on to the hope.
"If I save your clan from annihilation, the place where you will move to will be a brand new place. A place which doesn't have much innovation like here and thus you and your clan will have to start from scratch. Are you ready for that?" Aoto asked. Fugaku took a second and then proceeded to bow down.
"As long as you give us a place to escape we will be fine. Even if its an island we are ready to take. I just want to save my family and my clan. And hopefully help the world when they come." Fugaku said.
Aoto sighed and said.
"Then you should start your preparations. Soon we will help you escape with the clan. It's your job to convince the clan." Aoto said.
"Yes.. yes of course." Fugaku said and then got up. He couldn't stay here for a long time. After bidding goodbyes he left. After he left Kisuke emerged from the shadows and said.
"You know the Uchihas aren't that great as they are rumored to be."
"They have Itachi, Sasuke, Shisui and even Fugaku. I feel like they are better now than they were once." Aoto said.
"Sasuke doesn't seem very special." Kisuke replied.
"Well he is since he is the reincarnation of Indra." Aoto said.
"Reincarnation? That's a new one." Kisuke replied. "You want to ship them to Jon's world, don't you?"
"That is my plan." Aoto admitted to it.
"That world is going to see hell." Kisuke said.
"Not my problem. That world is fucked anyways and maybe having some Gods will placate some sense into them." Aoto said. "And it won't be permanent anyways as this world would need them soon."
"Aiya.. Now I will have to work on the plan." Kisuke said in a long and frustrated tone.
"Thanks Kisuke." Aoto said with a smile to which Kisuke just rolled his eyes and left. Kisuke already knew what Aoto had asked him to do and doing that thing would take time and materials. Thankfully, he had both for the moment.
