Chapter 36

"Yuichi-sama, the Hokage summoned you for today's council." an ANBU who looked for me around the Senju Clan compound said

"...I will be on my way." I replied without showing any reactions on my face

Since Tobirama died, I was named as the next Leader of the Senju Clan but I was too lazy to assist most of the council's meetings.

But being summoned like this while a rumor has been going on about me... The Uchiha Leader surely asked for this.

This era's Konoha Council isn't composed by Hiruzen and his sh*tty friends but by most leaders from the different clans of the village.

'Taking me into account, we should be eleven leaders' I thought as I was looking for Tsunade so she would know where I was going

====================

"You are late!" a middle-aged man with black eyes and hair said as soon as I entered the room

I looked at him and only replied "Yes." before looking over everyone and saw that one chair was empty

'This is the one for Sakumo... He's still out on a mission' I thought before looking at Hiruzen who, as the Hokage, was at the end of the table

I saw that my chair wasn't where it should be, on the side, but was rather facing Hiruzen.

'Why does it feels like I'm being judged' I thought before taking my seat

Thankfully, I had a good relationship with half of the peoples around the table.

Obviously, there is Hiruzen also representing the Sarutobi Clan.

There were the leaders of the Yamanaka, Nara, and Akimichi Clan whose children were taught by Tsunade and assisted our wedding.

The father of Shibi was also here to represent the Aburame Clan.

Honoshi is still leading the Hyūga Clan... until Hiashi is old enough to replace him if nothing changes.

The Inuzuka Clan was also represented although I don't know who that old woman with red marking is.

The best Genjutsu users, which are the Kurama Clan, seem to be led by an old man I also didn't interact once with.

'I will be interested in the girl that inherited their rare Kekkei Genkai'

Now with Sakumo representing the Hatake Clan, thanks to his prowess, and me representing the Senju Clan there is also that emo middle-aged man who is the leader of the Uchiha Clan.

'I think that guy is called Tomura... I know that he's Fugaku's father at least'

Nobody started talking making the situation a bit awkward as Tomura was looking impatient while Hiruzen looked hopeless.

Willing to break the ice I said "So... Why did you call everyone here for?"

Hiruzen sighed and started to open his mouth but Tomura got up by slamming his hands on the table and yelled "Don't act like you don't know! You got your hands on the Sharingan, you thief!"

"Mh? Got any proof?" I replied without caring much

"Of course I-" he said before stopping as he realized something

I smirked and said "I guess the one who started the rumor was an Uchiha member within the ANBU... How incompetent." making everyone else silently nod

He didn't want to hide more and said "That's right, he told us that you used the Susanoo! You are a Senju, not an Uchiha so tell me how did you get those eyes now!"

Hiruzen sighed and asked "I already took care of the one who spread such information... But I do want to know why can you use the Sharingan powers too."

I closed my eyes and said "That's because I was BORN with the Sharingan."

Everyone was dumbfounded about the news because that would make me a Senju and an Uchiha and everyone knows how their relationships were since the beginning of Konoha.

"That's impossible! No one sane enough from my Clan would give birth to a child with a Senju! And if what you said is true... Your only choices are to either become an Uchiha or give up your eyes!" he said completely outraged by the revelation as his eyes changed into the Mangekyô Sharingan

I opened my eyes and three tomoe appeared as I said "First of all, you should have taken me within your Clan the moment I was born. Second, you have no right to ask such a thing without respect to someone who is also a Clan Leader."

I then gazed intensely into his eyes as mine changed into the Eternal Mangekyô and added "Third, someone who's weaker than me like you and everyone else from your Clan can go f*ck with someone else!" before releasing a small killing intent only aimed toward him

The others were actually surprised to see such control over my intent as they didn't suffer anything at all, but as Hiruzen was opening his mouth once again to talk, he was interrupted.

His arrogant facade fell as he was getting intimidated by me and mumbled "T-those eyes... Impossible, they l-look just like his!"

I stopped releasing pressure on him as curiosity was filling me and asked "What? Do you know who my father might be? I just know he should be someone who disappeared and surely died somewhere."

"N-no It shouldn't be the case..." he said ignoring me before sitting down and grabbing his head between his hands like it was a world-ending news

"ANSWER ME! Who is my father?!" I yelled impatiently, making him flinch

"Your eyes... They share the same design as Madara-sama..." he replied as he looked at me in both amazement and horror

"That's-" "Impossible!" "No way!" everyone was astonished by the information and so was I "You mean that Madara could be my father?! That old man could still get it up past his fifties?"

'Oh, I just offended all of them indirectly' I thought

"Your mother... She was in her forties when she gave birth to you and died so it's quite possible..." Hiruzen declared

'When I created my backstory I only said that the father was an Uchiha who is presumed de- Ah... Madara was presumed dead wasn't he' I understood as I recalled what I did before being reborn

I started laughing hysterically as I raised my hand on my face while slightly leaning backward, making everyone looks weirdly at me.

"Pfhahaha... So that makes me the son of the greatest Uchiha to ever exist as well as a user of Wood Release like Hashirama did... What the hell does it make me now, a monster?" I let out as I looked up to the ceiling

'Since when Madara likes women... I thought he had a one-sided crush on Hashirama'

I then looked back at Tomura and said "So now what do you want to do? If it ends in a fight then so be it, I killed the Mizukage and the Raikage... You are nothing compared to them."

I expected him to get angry again but it seems like the simple fact of me being the potential kid of Madara makes him act docile all of sudden.

"I-I won't ask for your eyes anymore... But, I would like to talk with you more privately later." he said as he looked more serious

'Not as arrogant as I thought... I expected a 'young master' kind of arrogance'

"You may be the only one in this council who could kill multiples Kages and come back alive as you did." Hiruzen declared as he was glad Tomura calmed down

"The meeting wasn't just about me having Uchiha blood running through my veins right?" I asked as I was back in my seat

"Indeed. Although learning about that was good news, and you are the 2nd recorded Uchiha to achieve a Full Body Susanoo..." he said before pausing a little

{And knowing how you care about the village... You could be useful to mend the wounds that divide the Uchiha and Konoha.} I heard him think as my eyebrow slightly twitched

'Yeah, I care so much that you will be dead within three years' I thought

Now that I think about it... If I kill Mū and the Third Kazekage, I would have killed the five current Kage of the Great Shinobi Villages.

"We need to talk about the upcoming war... Iwagakure movements started being more obvious and I sent Sakumo near Sunagakure and apparently, they moved some units near the border too." he announced as everyone was quietly listening

"The Land of Fire will be targeted for sure and there may be other countries who will try to take advantage of that by joining the battle and..." he stopped as I added "Start another Great Shinobi War."

"Yes. The Land of Rain will be where I think most battles will happen and according to spies we sent at Kumogakure and Kirigakure, they have disagreements within their highly placed members as to whether joining the war or not is a good idea." he finished explaining

"I can take care of that." I said as everyone looked at me like I was mad or something

Hiruzen stopped everyone who wanted to disagree with me and asked "You intend to trade some of the tools we got from them?"

'I got them, not we'

"No... But you know what I learned from Tobirama... And who I killed." I hinted

He opened his eyes wide and said "You intend to use THAT against them! Are you insane, you are just going to make them join the war for sure this time!"

"If we don't take care of them before they try to do something to us there will be far more losses from our side!" I said a bit louder than usual

"...I agree with Yuichi-san, instead of waiting for them to sneak attack us and lose more shinobi than we expected, we should let him take care of them." Honoshi said as he looked at Hiruzen

"What a drag... They are currently weakened and if Yuichi-san could take care of three thousand shinobi along with their Kage then letting him run havoc in their village is a good idea to decrease the loss to zero." the current Nara leader added

I then looked at Hiruzen and added "I will not kill everyone indiscriminately... Only destroy some important buildings and reduce the number of shinobi they have, leaving them with no chance to assault us for years."

What made me glad was that in the end, they all agreed with this decision. And so, I will take care of both villages but only if a war involving Konoha starts on the opposing front.

We then had some talk about whatever the Clan Leaders had an issue with and only after hours we could leave the place.

'What a pity...I won't be sent to the Land of Rain but I need to fetch someone there'

One individual I want as a member of Origins is Konan and her unique Paper Release, which has quite the potential I'm sure of it.

'And I can train her from a young age like most of the members'

In the end, I would be going stealthily to the Land of Rain to recruit her before Konoha enters the war.

'My plans keep being f*cked up lately'

And I don't know how am I going to make Hiruzen die... Maybe have him face Mū because there won't be the 2nd Mizukage to face him and I'm not sure anyone else could take him on.

'Mh, that seems to be a good way to end his life. But I should make sure to be near so I can absorb both of them'

I'm getting greedy, aren't I?

And as I was lost in thought, Tomura asked me if I could follow him to his house.

I didn't mind much and agreed, I wasn't greeted nicely by everyone we passed by, judging by how they were looking at me...

We then entered his house and inside was a woman who surely was his wife as well as a young man who should be Fugaku.

'He's 18 years old if I'm not wrong'

"Nice to meet you, I'm Yuichi Senju." I said, introducing myself to both of them

"Ara~ nice to meet you too Yuichi-san, I'm Akiko." the old yet young-looking woman replied

But then the boy just looked at me with small stars in his eyes as he said "N-nice to meet you! I'm Fugaku!" before adding "Is it true that you killed the Second Mizukage and the Third Raikage? And are you also an Uchiha?!" as he moved around me completely excited

'What the... He surely got different when he grew older' I thought as I didn't recall Itachi and Sasuke father being like this

'He has yet to experience the horror of war and how it can change men easily' I thought

"Yes, he did Fugaku... Now stop pestering him." Tomura said with a strict tone that made Fugaku gulp before moving away

I was now facing Tomura and before I could even speak he suddenly did a dogeza and said "I'm sorry for not realizing sooner that you were Madara's son."

'I mean, how the hell do you want to know just by looking'

"I accept your apology. And, I owed you one too because I learned who my father was today." I replied, and to not humiliate him by saying something like 'You don't need to'

'But to be sure, I will need to ask Madara himself the day we meet each other'

He completely put aside the fact that I am a Senju since he learned about my relationship... He thinks that in the end, we are only two members, and getting me close to the Uchiha Clan is only beneficial for them.

'And the respect he has for Madara is also insanely high'

If I can make it so their Clan isn't ostracized it would be beneficial, as another Clan would be on friendly terms with me.

This would also help Kushina if I have good relationships with the village council to make her Hokage later... If she still wants to.

So I will also alie- I mean influence Fugaku a little because he will be the next leader.

I guess being found using Susanoo was more positive than intended... But not everyone will share Tomura's way of thinking.

'I'm beginning to enjoy manipulating those who want to use me'

Wrote this chapter instead of doing something for my English Class tomorrow... In a way I worked, no?

Anyway, I should release another chapter tomorrow.
