Chapter 23: Sarutobi Interlude Yuriko Stat Page

There were many things that Hiruzen Sarutobi would say he enjoyed in life; the feeling of mastering a difficult jutsu, observing the villagers as they went about their days in peace. But there was one thing he loved to see more than anything, watching the next generation as they came into their own.

As such, he couldn't help but smile fondly as one Yuriko Uchiha finished her After Action Report about the mission in Mizu no Kuni, essentially taking command of the Rebel's medical corps the battle against Kisame Hoshigaki, going up against Yagura and fighting alongside the Gobi, Kokuo, deducing who was responsible for Yagura's change in behavior, being his witness for Mei Terumi being announced as the Mizukage, and then taking apart of the sealing of the Sanbi, Isobu and devising a seal with Jiraiya that would hopefully prevent the Bijuu from being subjugated again.

Once he heard her report in detail and asking a few details about the seal that they designed before dismissing her, allowing her to return to her family that she was obviously eager to return to, not really surprising considering it's been about three months since she's seen them in person.

A chuckle escaped his lips as he watched one of his top elites leap out of one of the windows in his office and leap towards the Uchiha Building. His eyes watched her back as she leapt across the roofs with practiced ease before settling to look at the village as a whole.

A soft smile graced his grandfatherly features as he looked at the village he sacrificed so much for, that he had witnessed many people sacrifice their lives for, some of them on his orders. He regrets that such things were necessary, but he will never regret giving the order, perhaps it was monsterous of him, but it was a decision that had to be made, and unfortunately it fell to him to make such decisions.

Well, for the time being.

A smile creased his face again as he remember little Naruto's declaration of becoming Hokage so that he could protect the village and his sister, Yuriko's flabbergasted expression as he loudly declared it from the top of Hokage Tower had been captured by her mother and placed into a frame, one he had in a corner of his desk.

Shaking his head he turned back to the paperwork on his desk that he got started on clearing it all away, bit by bit. Requisitions for ANBU, mission requests from the Daimyo of Kaze no Kuni - seriously, Sunagakure was right there and cheaper than Konoha, why did he keep coming to Konoha?

Part of it, he knew, was a way to keep the Fourth Kazekage in check. Sabaku no Rasa was a militant Kage, eager to resort to force and power at the flimsiest of excuses. That one actually made sense, but another part of it was sheer stupidity. The sitting Daimyo of Kaze no Kuni was something of a moron, and didn't seem to get that antagonising the largest source of military power in his country was a Bad Idea. The amount of unrest in Sunagakure was rising, as was resentment against both the Daimyo and Konohagakure. He just hoped nothing further came of it.

Shaking his head, he placed it to the side to look over the details later and began looking through the assorted requests of the civilian council, he approved the trade delegation to be sent to Mizu no Kuni, but with the addendum that they were to wait for a month before leaving, to give time for Kirigakure to build itself back up a bit and settle in for repairing their village and country from the damages of their civil war.

The next request was summarily tossed into the trash before he even got halfway through the first paragraph. Seriously, a marriage request for Yuriko's daughter before she was even five, when Yuriko had already turned it down, perhaps he should have an ANBU operative look into the man if he was making requests like that.

A subtle twitch of his finger had one of his ANBU guards vanish from his senses as they headed off to investigate the man.

Humming a mindless tune to himself he picked up the next request and read it over carefully.

A fairly… normal request for once, a shinobi guard for a councillor going to visit family near the border, granted and placed into the mission pile. Sadly, most of them were usually self-aggrandising requests, ones meant to get something for nothing just because. Idiots.

After a dozen more requests were considered and either rejected or approved (more of the former than the latter), the elderly Hokage decided to take a break and stood up to look out of his window. Overlooking the main street of the village, watching the hustle and bustle of the mixed civilians and shinobi through it never failed to fill him with pride that the Shodai's dream had grown so much since that day a century ago.

There were those who had sought to twist that dream into a nightmarish parody of what it had been supposed to be over time. His old friend Danzo had been chief among them, much to his sorrow. Thankfully, the Shinobi of Darkness had been crushed by a powerful force for the light. Yuriko had been an exemplary kunoichi from the first mission she had been forced into during the Third War, and she had always tried to act in the best interests of everyone involved in a conflict, shinobi and civilian.

Truly, she alone had proven the Nidaime's mistrust of the Uchiha wrong. Now the entire Uchiha Clan lived by the Will of Fire, although Danzo's manipulation of Itachi had reduced their numbers severely. Sarutobi shuddered as he remembered the raw pain and rage in Yuriko's newly transplanted eyes when the suspicion of who had been behind that manipulation had been mentioned when she recovered. Had she held any less respect for him than she had, he knew that Danzo wouldn't have lived past that day and Yuriko would have ignored his order to the contrary and damned the consequences to do so.

'She has endured such loss.' he mourned. Her father during the war. Minato and Kushina on the Day of the Kyuubi. Her brother and other clansmen on the Aborted Massacre. Each time he had seen her eyes after those incidents, the pain had grown, but it had not eclipsed the light that dwelled within them. Now she had a husband and a daughter, people who were easing her pain and easing her burden.

The 'Game' power that she possessed was one that only her mother, himself and Jiraiya now knew of, as Minato had taken that secret to his grave. It wasn't written down anywhere and he had no intention of doing so. He could only imagine the reactions of some of the more bloodline-crazy council members; they'd demand to have her bred like an animal to see if her children could inherit it. A flicker of anger crept through his mind when he recalled the expression of pure fear on her face when Minato and Jiraiya had uncovered it. No child, no shinobi should be so scared of revealing an ability, especially not to her own leaders.

Sadly, the world was what it was. All he could do was ensure that no one knew what she could do. History would remember her simply as an extraordinary Medic-nin and an immensely strong kunoichi...perhaps as more.

A thoughtful expression filtered across his face as he considered an idle thought, she had the respect of many of the shinobi in Konohagakure, connections with their allies, held an S-rank bounty…

But, it wasn't time for something like that yet, so, shaking his head he turned away from the window he was looking out of and returned to his desk, to battle his accursed paperwork once again.
