Arc I - Chapter 12 : Third's Visit.... and Xazch woken up but there's startling .......

Konoha's Hidden Village, Minato's Residence.

Suddenly there's yellow flash within family's room, then Minato & Kushina who's holding Naruto in her hand appeared.

Without giving them time to recover, there's someone who's appeared before them and it's Third Hokage.

"Minato, Kushina! hmm, is that your son? Care to tell me what's really happened with earlier pressure? and what happened to Kyuubi?" He's directly ask them while demanding the explanation about bewildering event that happened earlier.

"Ah, Third Hokage!" Minato & Kushina startled and going to do Shinobi Salute but it's stopped by Third.

"No need formalities, here's just me! don't worry, I've sent all ANBU to help civilian settle back to their residence while calming them so we're alone here!" Third waving his hand to stop their fake gesture.

"Hehehe, tehe!" Kushina's laughing without shame.

"*Cough, I got it old man! How about we sit first before i'm proceeding to tell you two what really happened and why it's seem nothing happened" Minato's getting caught off by their antic, but he's fast to recover while demanding their attention but not without offering the third to sit on chair within their family room.

"All right, now tell me from the first its happened and until it's end" Third directly sit on family head chair, after shamelessly claim Minato's chair he's nonchalantly demand earlier explanation.

While Kushina just smiling after seeing his antic then she take her husband who's currently speechless to other side to sit together.

"..... Ahem, all right then! here's the start is..." Minato's recover his bearing faster before starting his explanation.

--------

"What?? there's huge accident like that?? though earlier I feel Kyuubi and unknown chakra, I didn't think there's accident that almost become disaster to Village! then, who's that Zero? and last question when you create new corps with the name Shadow?" Third exclaimed with serious expression after hearing full story though he didn't forget to ask about his doubt.

"We don't know who's Zero real identity, but from his height and voice we could see he's still young about the same age with Genius within academy from Uchiha, but what's with Shadow? me? creating new corps with the name of Shadow? when? why didn't I know about it?" Minato's answering the third question with bewildered expression in the end.

"Uchiha.. Uchiha...." beside him his wife, Kushina mumbling incoherent word while trying to remember something.

"Hmm? is that Itachi? but no way for it to be possible! Eh, you didn't? then why there's so many little boy using full black uniform and mask giving warning for civilian to evacuate using your name as hokage? and from civilian description, their feature characteristic is almost same!" Third confused with Minato's answer so he's questioned about evacuation order that earlier happened.

"Itachi..... Uchiha ..... err..." Kushina's still mumbling while trying remember something.

"Huh? I didn't order that, because there's no time for me to order anything like that while the culprit taking my wife from the village when she's finished childbirth and we didn't know his purpose until he's extracting Kyuubi and telling my wife about his real purpose! eh, wait you say full black uniform and his mask is black? isn't that Zero? ugh by the way, he's promising me to explain who's the culprit but he's gone without explanation!" Minato's still denying about that but when he heard about black uniform and black mask the little guy who's savior of village is appeared within his mind though with it he's back to gloomy feeling because he's ditched without Zero fulfilling his promise about explanation.

"Aha!! I remember, Zero is Uchiha Xazch!" Kushina exclaim with delight because she's finally remember where she hear that voice and seeing that similar figure.

"What do you mean? who's Xazch?" Minato & Third Questioned Kushina simultaneously.

"Eh? he's cute child who's about same age with Itachi, he's like a doll! whenever I see him, I always have a urge to hug him and kidnap him hehe! ah yeah, he's same class with Itachi too if i'm not wrong! maybe Zero is him? though from what I hear is his parent is just commoner of Uchiha." Kushina Answering with bright expression while holding her son.

"Eh? really? but commoner? I thought about it but its's seem to be impossible because from his resourceful, there's nothing that can be related with that Xazch except same figure and voice! maybe it's misdirection from the one who's called Zero to make use thinking like this! So I think he's not Zero, i'm sure" Third giving his doubt and his though about Kushina statement.

"Yeah, I think so too! so this Xazch is impossible to be Zero" Minato agrees with Third reasoning.

"Really? well, maybe i'm the one who's wrong but well! eh Naruto, you've woken up? did you hungry! All right you two men, me the mother want to take a rest while feed my son the milk!" Kushina stand up and walk in direction her room while leaving the two in family room.

"...." Minato & Third become speechless by her sudden outburst.

"Ah, old man! about earlier?" Minato's suddenly change the topic to recover from awkward situation.

".. Huh? oh! yeah about faking your two's death? no problem, because it's for Village safety sake! we can proceed with it but who's gonna take your position to become fifth?" Third readily accepting Minato's plan.

"Why? why should there's someone to take over? there's still you Old man! you've still young, so how about you go back to be hokage! at least until you found the one who's gonna take over later" Minato's refusing taking a role to choose someone and dump it to Third for choosing.

"You rascal! All right, for now I would take over the Hokage's position again until we found the one who'll take over as fifth" Third giving up with the argument because he know that Minato will keep refusing if he's still pushing obligation for choosing the successor of Hokage.

Unknown to the two men, because their reasoning about resourceful of Zero's, they lost the track of real truth so unless they have Woman's instinct like Kushina there's no way they will get to the truth.

1 week after

Uchiha Clan, Toru's Residence.

Within Xazch room, the boy who's still in coma suddenly woken up with still slightly pale face.

"*yawn, it's good to sleep! how long did I sleep? huh?" He ask the system after woken up from his sleep.

-7 Days-

"Woah, it's quite long! err who's taking care of my body this week? is it my mother?" He ask the system with bewildered expression.

"No, your mother didn't found out about your condition! it's me who's taking care your body and substituting your place for this week!" Suddenly there's someone who's similar voice with him answering his question in stead of the system.

"Who? eh, Me? are you my clone? though I feel there's connection but why do I feel that you can't be dismissed?" He's asking the newcomer with startled expression because he feel like they're twin.

-Because constant energy supply from the system, it's mutating your clone! and it's existence become solid enough to become unique life form-

"Yes, it's as what you feel! I feel that, i'm severed with your body but in the same time our connection is strengthened! please don't ask why because I don't know" his clone answered with his thinking because he can't hear the system.

"Woah, then thanks for your care! my brother! hahaha, now you'r name is One! because my code:name is Zero!" Xazch's exclaim with delight because he feel like he got new trusty friend.

"Okay then, Zero! from now on i'm One!" His clone share the same feeling.

'All right, now system tell me did he get same status with me the source' Xazch ask the system about his question with this new brother of his.

-No, he's almost same but without system, Mangekyo locked and his Sharingan regressed into 2 tomoe because I'm using their energy to help him finish his mutation but he can get stronger like you though it will be slower like normal genius-

'Oh? good then, I fear he did have same status with me! because if he has same status with me, then he can't replace me to attend academy! he need to have same start and progress with Itachi so my plan could be started' Xazch though with relief though there's little regret because he didn't get new brother that equal with him but thinking about his plan with his clan he think it's best like this.
