129 -=Fooling an entire village=-

Sasuke walked through doors and corridors, over and over, he reached weirdly concealed places of the Hokage building, Seals that he could not comprehend in the slightest filled every inch of the walls

If he didn't know what he was called for, he would have doubted if this was not a way to imprison him or something... the security is just too much

yet, it all wouldn't matter in front of something like a bijuu, even the weakest of them

This world has so many techniques, skills, and weird fighting styles... but it is all useless

Guy was declared the strongest ninja by Madara, what did he have? pure power, and lots of it

Madara was a skilled fighter and had insane amounts of power, but instead of him, the true final boss was a bunny girl, as some Kaguya simp once called her on this fic...

yeah, so it was a bunny girl instead of the insane ghost of the uchiha, why? cause she had more pure power

anything can be resolved with pure power in this world, it's kinda weird actually... anyway

The Anbu that was guiding Sasuke, or else he would have been walking in circles, cause Seals... they just work, don't try to find sense in them..., anyway, the Anbu kneeled in front of a random wall and said

"Sasuke Uchiha is here, Hokage-sama"

Right when Sasuke was about to think this guy was going insane, talking to a wall and all, the wall opened, and hiding his surprise, he walked in

As soon as he did, the Anbu went away, the wall closed and no one could tell he was ever there

-=-

Inside the room, Sasuke quickly noticed something

"Why is he here?" He asked pointing to Naruto, who was totally out of place

"He is here because Sarutobi sensei is too soft" Tsunade answered

and now you may be asking Sasuke's question yourself

Why is he, Sasuke, here? this looks like a super-duper secret chamber or something...

well, that's because now that Kaede is back, he isn't the only Uchiha anymore, so he is now considered the Uchiha patriarch

patriarch of a clan of 2... pffffft

wait, that still didn't answer why he was here, oh well... as the Uchiha patriarch, he needs to be notified of anything Uchiha related, and he jas the right to be present in any interrogation of a member of his clan, which there is a lot of options to be... like... Kaede... and that's it

"Sasuke! Sasuke! Sasuke!

Kaede is back! can you BELIEVE IT?" Naruto asked like the hyperactive monkey he was

"Hn" Sasuke groaned in annoyance, this was something serious... and he was acting like a kid in this situation... classic Naruto... but this doesn't make it any less annoying

"Can we start this already? I have things to do" Tsunade said, annoyed

of all things, she needed to be present in a UCHIHA interrogation... she wanted to just declare her guilty of whatever and be done with it, but she had to be friends with Hiruzen's favorite puppe-*COUGH* student... which hurt a lot to her, to know this snotty-nosed brat os his favorite, not her...well, at least it wasn't Orochimaru, right?

Not having anyone object to her words, Tsunade gave Inoichi a nod, signaling him to proceed

Using a seal, that was developed by Kushina herself, they looked at what Inoichi was seeing in her mind

this was an incredible seal, right? yes, and it was Shizue who gave Kushina the idea to make it... Otherworldly knowledge is really useful, huh?

A screen like arrangement of seals started to make the white and black version of what was in Kaede's memories

they watched the movie like seal show a lot of things, from the Uzushiogakure, which was weird as fuck to them

they had a train, and they started developing some other weird technology that made everyone dumbfounded, but they ignored it as Kaede didn't know much about both of those

"I don't have all day, just find the memories of her leaving Konoha and meeting that blue-haired man, Inoichi" Tsunade said in a demanding tone

"Yes, Hokage sama" Inoichi had no choice but to do what Tsunade told him

in no time at all, the seal showed Kaede, barely alive from Itachi's attack, meeting Rimuru... inside Konoha, to their surprise

Rimuru walked towards the fallen figure of Kaede, he started talking some bullshit about rebirth and whatnot, and since Kaede didn't have many options, she agreed to whatever he said, being healed right after, but passing out

After that, Kaede was seemingly only in control during some parts of her day, and most of this time was used to play with Touka and Blizzard, and later on to train with Shizue

yes, in those fake memories she made Touka and Blizzard appear a lot, so there is that

they kept staring at the seals and didn't notice Sasuke trembling a bit for a second, probably having trouble because he didn't go to the bathroom before going there...

jokes aside, he was scared about having accepted Rimuru's offer of rebirth now, especially now, having seen Kaede passing by the same thing

the parts of the day Kaede was not in control she had only blurred memories of, and that included most of the Tsunade retrieval mission, she only had memories about Itachi's Tsukuyomi and fighting Itachi after, then she was controlled to fight Naruto and had no memories of it

in the Tsukuyomi, she saw Itachi killing every Uchiha, Sasuke, Naruto, Shizue, Touka, and Blizzard over and over

which made Sasuke and Naruto surprised, because of two things:

1 - They saw themselves die, that's not fun

2 - This meant Kaede cared about them a lot, no?

Manipulating kids is kinda easy

Seeing this kind of stuff would have had barely any impact on the adults there if it was not extracted from her mind by the patriarch of the Yamanaka clan himself

Then there was some information about Sharingan having an evolution, Kaede one day waking up with new eyes, instead of hers, that used her vitality to fuel them... weird

some things whort take note of from those memories are

Rimuru is bat shit crazy, he would kill you for even looking at him wrong

Rimuru can steal people's chakra permanently, and he did so in Kaede, which meant she was unable to act as a ninja from now on, it seemed to have a delay, or he would have done the same to Naruto and Luna, which he didn't

Other things to take note of are, Rimuru is the one who flattened Kusagakure, because he wanted... crazy

he is the fabled Biju slayer, the mysterious man no one knew who was

he is crazily strong, like, truly strong...

Lastly, he is the leader of Uzushio, albeit there is a true Uzumaki as a political leader, he is the one who calls the shots there

in general, they got more information about Rimuru than Kaede, but that was because Tsunade didn't care about the crippled Uchiha, and was more interested in any intel on their true enemy... possible enemy

Since Tsunade skipped a lot of the memories, they didn't end up seeing all of the fake memories Kaede prepared, which made her mad

'I had all the work to make those memories, make them cohesive and this bitch just skips them?

I so hope Rimuru eats her...' She grumbled mentally, good thing she could separate her mind and thoughts because of Ceres, or Inoichi would have noticed it

<That sounded wrong... are you sure this is the best phrasing?>

'...What are you on about? he eats her, bam, done. what is wrong with my phrasing?' Kaede asked, oblivious... which is weird, considering Rimuru used to tease Hinata as Kaede before... she should have the same knowledge as him...

weird...

And after that, the 'Interrogation', which was just a mind ra-*Cough* mind-reading session, ended without many troubles
