"Although I hate to admit it, our clan tends to produce quite crazed individuals. Not everyone is capable of withstanding the Sharingan's side-effects." As his words trailed off, Jun put on a sympathetic expression. "Do you understand what happens when someone sees the image of all the people they killed, every time they activate their Sharingan?"

"I see..." Holding his chin, Jiraiya quickly sobered up. What Jun said made a lot of sense. "So basically, if you're weak-minded, you're prone to going crazy, or at least lose your identity and values."

It explained some of the Uchiha's behavior. Although they didn't know it, their eyes were subconsciously changing them.

"Exactly... That's why it is recommended to use the Sharingan when one is happy. Although this used to be done in the past, fewer people practice it nowadays." Massaging the back of his neck, Jun laid back on his seat. "It's basically to balance out the negative emotions with happier ones. So that one doesn't feel like a mass-murderer every time they open their eyes."

The reason why Jun was comfortable speaking about this was that he trusted these people. He could judge characters and knew none of this would spread. 'I should tell the rest of the clan about it too...'

"Anyways, let's enjoy our meal! Today, we celebrate!" Rising from his seat, Jiraiya immediately lifted everyone's mood. With Aito and Akane's company, they all ate happily, enjoying each other's company.

At the same time, inside the Hokage's tower.

Hiruzen, sat at the front of a large table, alongside multiple high ranking individuals of the leaf. Aside from the major clan-heads, the council duo was here, alongside Danzo and some Anbu.

"Masaki-san, please describe the intruder's appearance one more time." Smoking his pipe, Hiruzen spoke with a frigid tone. Things weren't looking good.

Placing his elbows on the table, Masaki's expression became grim. "His entire body was white... Abnormally so. It didn't seem human, yet it displayed intelligence and great fighting ability."

"There was a small, empty hole where it's right eye should've been, and swirling patterns that originated from it, covering its entire body." Finding it hard to repress his fury, Masaki continued. "Its body then opened, revealing a hollow interior in which it placed my son, covering him entirely. Like a second layer of skin."

"Hm..." Nodding, Hiruzen sighed. "And to top it off, it can use Mokuton... Where the hell did this 'thing' come from?"

Raising his hand, the Yamanaka clan head spoke with a little fear. "Hokage-sama, the only person capable of using Mokuton, was Lord First... Could he-"

Interrupting his words, Danzo spoke in a frigid tone. "The first is dead. There is no possible way for him to come back."

"But we can't completely rule it out. There is still a possibility." Crossing his arms, the Nara head narrowed his eyes as he met Danzo's. "With that said, I also believe that it's not him we're looking for."

"But Shiki, are you saying that someone else has developed the Mokuton?" The Akimichi head said in a worried tone.

"Think about it... If it was the first Hokage, would he have sneaked inside the village? With his strength, if he wanted something, he would just take it. Just like the tailed beasts. I also doubt that he would've turned into a swirly white being."

As Shiki's words trailed off, silence befell the entire room. He was right; the first Hokage wasn't one to sneak in and out of places.

"Then who..." Massaging his forehead, Hiruzen was at a loss. This situation was too unexpected.

"For all we know, the jutsu that thing used might have even been something different from the legendary Mokuton. The First Hokage was able to generate wood from his own body, not just from the ground."

Hearing Shiki's words, everyone listened attentively.

Opening his eyes, he turned to Masaki, their only witness. "Masaki-san, you mentioned that this thing placed a hand on the ground, and a huge tree came out of it?"

"That is indeed the case."

Getting Masaki's confirmation, Shiki continued. "If he was a Mokuton user, couldn't he have generated the wood from his body as a quicker defense? Why place a hand on the floor?"

"Although the first Hokage was capable of growing things out of the ground, we don't have enough proof to confirm the use of Mokuton in this case. All we can do is assume."
