Preparation (1)!!

The next day, Akihiko left the Hyuga manor.

The way things stood out right now, Akihiko didn't consider anyone his opponent in the Shinobi World. It may be true that Nagato and some other Shinobi were more powerful than him; however he had confidence in his ability to escape. Even the Raikage won't be able to catch him so far as there was distance between them. And this was not counting his ability to teleport out of range.

As for Obito, He had no need to fear that stinky boy at all, since the only strong point of his, is the ability Kamui of the Mangyekou. If he were to battle him at his current strength, then nothing will happen, he won't be able to touch him, and Obito won't be able to touch him as well.

As for Nagato….he could run away right? Konan is disgusting with her Paper Technique so he won't engage her, let Obito take care of her as in the original. He would be wary of the Immortal Duo as well. Sasori is kind of useless since he could be taken care of with supreme speed, this is why Sasori never had any thoughts about Kumogakure! Are you kidding? With the Raikage on his tail he wont now how he died. This was why Sasori was paired with Deidera, by Nagato,as he had flight capabilities.

After comparing himself with all the higher powers in the present Shinobi world, only a handful could pose a threat to him, and even if they clashed he had the confidence to escape. With his strength issue solved as of the time being, Akihiko began to look into another issue he had.

This issue is the matter of what he'll do when Itachi is poised to use Tsukuyomi on him, he was not entirely sure if the current him could resist, so he wanted to have a backup incase. Unfortunately, nothing came to mind so he just shrugged and began to address other issues.

Teleporting to his temporary base, Akihiko couldn't wait to test out his current capabilities and adapt a new fighting style with Swift Release. And what better way to do this than becoming a bounty Ninja?

...…

The Hokage Building.

The Third Hokage held a pipe in his mouth as he looked in the direction of the Uchiha clan, his eyes expressing deep reflection.

He had complicated feelings since he and Danzo had interpreted his teachers words in their own ways. It's true that the Uchiha were really Evil, it's just that the Uchiha can be evil in the eyes of other Hidden Villages but not to Konoha!

The Second Hokage wanted Konoha to tightly embrace the Uchiha so that they never have any thoughts on betrayal. He wanted to use the Uchiha as a sharp sword that will cut down Konohas enemies. It was said that the Uchiha were extremists, but was there any difference with the Sandaime and Danzo with an Evil Uchiha?

The Hokage was scared, he was insecure, he was greedy, he was ….

He was scared by the power an Uchiha could have, the current him would not be able to defeat a Mangyekou user, he was insecure due to Shisui's demonic Mangyekou Technique. He was insecure about his position as the Hokage, he didn't want an Uchiha to become Hokage. This was why he was greedy for the Hokage position, he had planned for a Sarutobi member to be Hokage. He wanted monopoly of the position.

He was scared that if an Uchiha became Hokage, they would have a terrible almost unbreakable hold on Konoha such that they would monopolize the Hokage Position for generations to come.

The Uchiha were not like the Senju who were foolish and self destructive!! If Senju Nawaki didn't die, then he could have taken the Third Hokage's seat, this was their monopoly, then after Nawaki, Tsunade would have taken over and so on and so forth. The Senju would have had an iron grip on Konoha if not for their demise.

They could take care of the Senju but how about the Uchiha? Besides if they really eliminated the Uchiha clan the other clans would be afraid that their turns could come soon.It was not that they were blind when Senju members started to die inexplicably, how the Hokage sent them to the battle front at all times. It will be easy to find Danzo and Hiruzen responsible for this situations. If they could eliminate the two great clans that built Konoha, then what about them?

The other Ninja clans would be filled with dread at the prospect of this.The other Ninja clans would certainly not be comfortable staying in Konoha at all. If this happens then a mass rebel could be the best possible result, with an internal war that would bury Konoha as the worst case scenario.

Thump….Thump….Thump

Along with the sound of crutches, the door to the Hokage's office was slowly pushed open.

An individual wrapped in bandages filled with icy coldness walked in.

"Danzo, what's the matter?" The old weary voice of the Third Hokage sounded.

Danzo said indifferently: "The Uchiha clan, how are you going to deal with it? The number of clan meetings they have had has already hinted at their betrayal!!"

The Third Hokage went silent.

Danzo said coldly: "How long are you going to hesitate? Will you wait until they act directly against you?!"

"Danzo!" The Hokage said in a low voice: "The Uchiha are a vital part of Konoha and our companions. Without evidence, I will never agree to attack them."

Danzo's anger was kindled with the Third Hokage's words. "By the time they take action it will be too late. Evidence? Hah! I could get you evidence right now!!"

"Danzo, give up those little tricks of yours. Uchiha have great power, if you underestimate them, you will definitely regret it!"

The Third Hokage had a serious expression.

"Of course I know how terrible their power can be. You and I know how evil they can be when they have such power!" Danzo showed a gloomy smile as he said menacingly.

The Third Hokage kept smoking without saying anything. Danzo seeing this couldn't help but be irritated.

Hiruzen, you are old. A mere Uchiha makes you hesitant, then what would you do in the front of a Mangyekou user, crawl on your feet? Evidence? Those useless things, anyone who poses a threat to Konoha would have to be purged.

You are no longer qualified to sit in the position of Hokage! Only I, Shimura Danzo, is the man who would be the greatest Hokage!

He knew what his friend was getting at, as the light of Konoha, he couldn't have a hand in the darkness, he wanted to maintain the moral high ground so that no one could question his rule. He left the blame on the Darkness of Konoha.

But Danzo didn't mind as Hiruzen would soon die! And he'll take back everything!

Since the Uchiha haven't made a move then he'll give them a reason too…
