Chapter 28: A song for me...Ikaru5

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I do not want to do it but my ADHD-Brain thinks this simply hilarious!!

[A song for me:]

(Verse 1)

In this digital age, where dreams take flight,

I'm an artist with a vision, shining so bright.

But to make it all happen, I need your support,

To bring my creations to life, to truly exhort.

(Pre-Chorus)

So I turn to you, my dear friends,

To stand by my side until the journey ends.

With your help, we'll make magic come alive,

Together, we'll thrive and strive.

(Chorus)

I need patrons for my Patre/on, won't you join me?

Become a part of my artistic family.

With your pledge, we'll create wonders anew,

Unleashing creativity, making dreams come true.

(Verse 2)

Through my words and melodies, I'll touch your soul,

Crafting stories and emotions, making you whole.

But without patrons, I'm a bird without wings,

Yearning to soar, to hear the applause it brings.

(Bridge)

So come along on this wondrous ride,

Support my artistry, let's reach the other side.

With your patronage, I'll keep the fire ablaze,

Creating masterpieces, worthy of endless praise.

(Chorus)

I need patrons for my Patre/on, won't you join me?

Become a part of my artistic family.

With your pledge, we'll create wonders anew,

Unleashing creativity, making dreams come true.

(Verse 3)

With exclusive access and behind-the-scenes,

You'll witness the magic, the vibrant scenes.

I'll pour my heart into each creation I share,

But I need patrons' love, showing they care.

(Pre-Chorus)

So let's build a community, strong and true,

A gathering of kindred souls, just like me and you.

Together, we'll conquer artistic heights,

Support my Patre/on and ignite the lights.

(Chorus)

I need patrons for my Patre/on, won't you join me?

Become a part of my artistic family.

With your pledge, we'll create wonders anew,

Unleashing creativity, making dreams come true.

(Outro)

So here's my plea, my heartfelt call,

Join me on this journey, stand tall.

With your patronage, together we'll shine,

Support my Patre/on, and forever be mine.

If one of you would be so kind to produce this I would post it on my Patre/on!

[POV: Hiruzen Sarutobi]

[Date: 12 Hours after the Shimura debacle]

[Location: Hokage's Office]

Hiruzen's rage erupted like a roaring inferno, shaking the very foundation of his office. His fist crashed against the table with a thunderous impact, leaving an indelible imprint that served as a stark reminder of his fury. The force of his blow sent tremors through the room, causing scrolls to topple and dust to dance in the air.

No one dared to meet the Hokage's burning gaze, their eyes averted and hearts pounding with trepidation. The intensity of his anger was palpable, radiating off him like a tangible aura that seeped into every corner of the room. It was a tempest of wrath, a tempest that threatened to reshape the very landscape of the Ninja world.

Whispers of the incident echoed through the corridors of Konoha, spreading like wildfire. The news of the Hokage's fury would undoubtedly send shockwaves throughout the shinobi community. It was a force to be reckoned with, capable of shaking the very foundations of alliances and sparking a storm of uncertainty.

The weight of Hiruzen's anger hung heavy in the air, suffocating all who dared to cross his path. The Hokage had always been revered as a symbol of wisdom and composure, but in this moment, he embodied a tempestuous force that demanded respect and commanded attention.

Hiruzen's fury erupted like a volcano, his voice reverberating through the room with unbridled rage. "Who the fuck was that?!" he bellowed, his words laced with an intensity that shook the very foundations of his office. His fist collided with the table in a devastating blow, unleashing a shockwave that left an indelible imprint, a testament to his seething anger.

Some 'wannabe' secret and elusive organization dared to move and dive into the heart of Konoha, brazenly defying the formidable Fuinjutsu Border meticulously crafted by the Uzumaki clan. Like a venomous serpent slithering undetected, the intruder infiltrated the very core of the Shimura Clan, setting off a chaotic rampage that left devastation in its wake.

With ruthless efficiency, this audacious intruder struck down 139 skilled shinobi of the Shimura Clan, putting them out of commission with a malevolent flourish. The crimson tide of battle continued to surge, as a further 281 warriors fell victim to the onslaught, their bodies bearing the wounds of a relentless adversary, and now are inside the Hospital under medical care.

Amidst the chaos, Danzo and Hiruzen, alongside a hundred of Konohagakure's most elite shinobi, valiantly clashed against this bastard that called himself Wrath from the Seven Sins. But the audacity of the situation reached new heights when Wrath managed to slip away, vanishing into the shadows like a mocking phantom.

It was a bitter pill to swallow, an insult hurled at their very doorstep. This audacious display was nothing short of a contemptuous warning, a smirking reminder that this unknown organization could penetrate their defenses, unleash chaos, and slip away unscathed. The gravity of the situation hung heavy in the air, mocking the power and pride of Konoha, leaving them with a bitter taste of humiliation and a burning determination to bring these perpetrators to justice.

The door splintered under the force of a furious kick, and an enraged Danzo stormed into the Hokage's office, his eyes burning with anger and accusation.

"Hiruzen, what the hell are you going to do about this brazen attack?" Danzo seethed, his voice laced with venom.

"What am I going to do? What am I going to do?" Hiruzen bellowed, his voice reverberating with righteous fury. "You orchestrated this entire catastrophe! Who the hell did you enlist? You despicable bastard!"

"I had no part in this!" Danzo retorted, his voice booming with indignation.

The forceful kick shattered the remnants of the Hokage's office door, causing splinters to fly in all directions. The room was immediately filled with a flurry of movement as elders and clan patriarchs stormed in, their faces etched with various emotions. Some wore expressions of genuine concern, their brows furrowed with worry, while others couldn't hide their smirks of mockery and schadenfreude. The presence of the Uchiha Patriarch further intensified the gravity of the situation.

"Hokage-sama, we demand a clear and concise explanation for the chaos that has befallen us," one elder spoke up, his voice laced with a mixture of frustration and anxiety. The lines on his face deepened as he awaited a response.

The air was thick with tension as the Hokage stood at the center of the room, facing the scrutiny of those gathered. His eyes met the gaze of the elderly woman who had just spoken, her tone dripping with scornful amusement. Her lips curled into a mocking smirk, highlighting the satisfaction she derived from Danzo's predicament.

Danzo's fury burned within him, fueled by the realization that someone had orchestrated an attack specifically targeting him. The audacity of the assailant to cut off 139 arms, rendering 13 seasoned Jonin, 41 skilled Chunin, and 85 promising Genin from the Shimura Clan permanently incapacitated, ignited a fire of rage within his veins.

Hiruzen, on the other hand, seethed with a different kind of anger, one born from years of frustration and resentment. The very same attitude displayed by these self-proclaimed elders and their outdated beliefs had driven him and his allies to consider extreme measures—eradicating these stagnant fossils. Their lack of battle prowess rendered them useless in any real-life situation, yet they were always the first to pass judgment, point fingers, and hinder his progress.

As the tension in the room thickened, Danzo's clenched fists trembled with rage, while Hiruzen's eyes blazed with a righteous fury that had been simmering for far too long.

The sound of grinding teeth filled the room as the first elder unleashed his pent-up frustration, his words dripping with disappointment. "I had my doubts about your readiness, but I trusted the Second Hokage's choice. Yet, in the face of this attack on our own turf, what do you have to show for it?"

The elderly woman joined in, her tone laced with sarcasm. "Oh yes, the intruder simply waltzed away after leaving the Shimura clan in ruins. Impressive, isn't it?"

Homura Mitokado, desperate to deflect the blame, weakly interjected, "It wasn't solely Hiruzen's or Danzo's fault... The Police Force bears some responsibility."

"Ha! Exactly!" Danzo seized the opportunity to redirect the blame, his voice dripping with venom. His accusing gaze fell upon Tenjo, a member of the Uchiha clan, as he pointed a condemning finger. "And where were you, Uchiha? While my clan was under attack, where were you? Too busy twiddling your thumbs, I suppose?"

Finally, not able to take this blatant bullshit anymore Tenjo's voice boomed through the walls of the Hokage's office, carrying a mix of frustration, anger, and determination. The room fell into an uneasy silence as his words hung in the air, challenging the status quo.

"I made it clear to Hokage-sama and Elder Danzo after the last attack that our Police Force is severely understaffed and ill-prepared to handle such situations in a timely manner. But my concerns were dismissed, labelled as mere paranoia," Tenjo's voice dripped with bitterness and accusation.

He continued, his words laced with the weight of his clan's sacrifices. "I pushed my Uchiha Clan members to the brink, night after night, patrolling tirelessly. Some of them even ended up in the hospital from exhaustion. And what did it amount to? Our defenses were breached, our people left vulnerable."

His gaze fixed on Danzo, his voice sharpening with disdain. "And where were you, Danzo? Where was the support we were promised? It seems your priorities lay elsewhere."

Tenjo's tone then shifted, resignation seeping through his words. "From this moment onward, I hereby resign as the head of the Police Force, and the Uchiha Clan will no longer bear the burden of its duties. We will return to the path of missions like any other clan, reclaiming our autonomy. It has become clear to me that our role as Police Force is merely a shield to bear the blame when things go awry! We hold no influence in the development of Konoha nor is our advice taken into consideration. I am done playing this futile game."
