Perfect Revenge

At the Hokage office

"Hiruzen, I'm telling you, now that Sakumo is back in the village, he is a danger to your power."

These lines were spoken by Danzo, he was wearing bandages over the right side of his face.

Currently, he only has one Sharingan, which he took from Uchiha Kagami in his dying moments.

Danzo had originally planned to harvest a lot of Sharingan from the Uchiha clan in the second ninja war by sending them to fight against the Kiri, but Hiruzen sent them to Suna.

This was still something alright to him. He could kill them off one by one.

The main problem arose when Sakumo killed two strong ninjas of Suna, boosting both, Sakumo and the Uchiha clan's popularity.

'If they keep on growing like this, they will be a big obstacle in my road to the fourth Hokage.' Danzo thought.

"Ha! What threat to my power? I will not be the Hokage after a few years and will retire. It would be best for Konoha to have a Hokage who is feared by the nations and is loved by his people." Hiruzen replied.

Hiruzen was not an idiot, otherwise, he would not have lived so long in the Ninja world. He had seen through Danzo trying to make himself the next Hokage.

But the only thing Hiruzen could do was stop getting involved in his plans anymore.

Danzo glared at Hiruzen when he said the words. He got up and said," Hiruzen, this move will end up being expensive for you."

"Don't worry, I have enough money to deal with it HAHA." Hiruzen laughed it off.

Danzo angrily left the Hokage's office after a snarl.

Remembering his joke just now, Hiruzen thought,' I'm making dad jokes now, huh?'

As he started doing paperwork again, a knock came on the door.

"Come in," Hiruzen said.

Fukuzaki walked in with a bundle of pages in his hand, kneeled on one knee and said," Lord Hokage, this is the result of today's graduation exam."

Fukuzaki handed over the sheets he was carrying.

Hiruzen then flipped over and saw the result.

"So, Minato was at the top and Yukan was second."

"Yes, Lord Hokage. Although both, Yukan and Minato are strong, the main difference is between their ninjutsu. Yukan's ninjutsu talent is very weak. He is someone who would be perfect for using a weapon." Fukuzaki explained since he knew more about the students than Hiruzen.

"...just like his father," Hiruzen said in a very low voice.

"Ok, you may leave now," Hiruzen said.

Fukuzaki exited the office, what remained in the room was Hiruzen looking at Minato and Yukan's results at the top.

'Minato should go under Jiraiya when he comes back and as for Yukan, he should….'

-At the same, in a restaurant-

Shikaku, Yukan, Minato and Kushina were eating happily while Choza was sitting there, not moving.

"Hey Choza, don't you want to eat?" Shikaku asked.

"I don't have the money to pay the bill," Choza complained.

"Don't worry, eat first," Shikaku said.

The naive Choza started eating happily, but Shikaku was planning an act of revenge.

He wanted Choza to know the pain he went through, only when one experiences the other's pain does he truly understand him.

After everyone finished eating, Shikaku asked Choza," Hey, do you want some dessert?"

Choza alone had eaten more than what the other four had eaten.

Shikaku wanted to make his plan 100% foolproof, so he offered Choza some dessert.

Choza felt Shikaku's attitude getting weird, but he still agreed to have some dessert.

After the dessert that only Choza ate, he was in a state where he could not move anymore.

"Now, should we pay?" By the time Choza lifted his head to ask the others, they had already left and what Choza had was some money in the places they were sitting in, an angry owner glaring at him and a mop beside him.

After a moment of silence, Choza asked the shopkeeper," Mr owner, how many days do I have to mop?"

" 2 weeks." The owner said.

By now, the other four had already gone far and were walking at a leisurely pace.

Minato and Kushina by now, had a guilty conscience and decided to help Choza out the next day, Yukan did not care about it while Shikaku was happy.

Not long after, Shikaku parted ways and went toward the Nara clan's land.

" Well, from tomorrow, we will go different ways, huh?" Minato said. He had a hint of sadness in his voice.

Yukan had already experienced finishing school once inn his previous life and knew what it felt like.

"Well, it is not like we would never meet again." Yukan tried to comfort Minato.

"Hmm. Bye, both of you, I'll see you tomorrow." Minato left after saying.

Kushina and Yukan walked on the road, alone, for some time.

Finally, a smile on Yukan's face broke the moments of silence.

Seeing his smile, Kushina asked," Why are you smiling?"

Yukan replied," Nothing, I just remembered our first meeting."

Kushina blushed after hearing Yukan.

Kushina and Yukan had met for the first time two years ago when Kushina had just come to the village.

Back then, Kushina was running through the streets.

She did not see what was in front of her and collided with Yukan.

She fell right after the collision and Yukan had to help her back up.

Kushina was embarrassed, her face turned red all over, like a tomato.

The next day, when Kushina went to the academy for the first day, she met Yukan and was nicknamed 'Red tomato' by him.

But, Yukan always teasing her had a good effect.

Due to him, the strongest in the class always being friendly with her, she was not bullied by the other boys and was not called any other nickname by others.

Kushina had realized this and was thankful to Yukan, but since he called her red tomato, she started calling him an idiot.
