Chapter 5

                                    

                                          
Konoha
Its been a week since the alliance talks with Uzushio had failed. When word went out that Naruto was the Uzukage, the villagers thought they were saved. They believed that just as his father saved the village, he too would step up and do the same. Sorry for them he wasn't doing anything for them, much to some of them shock, others ashamed of condemning his life to one of torture and pain. 
Tsunade was in her office with a headache and a mountain of paper work. The council was having a fit all because Naruto refused an alliance with them. She knew that they really couldn't blame him due to everything he endured, and not to mention that he had a non-aggression pact with them. The war wasn't going to end anytime soon. They were losing, bad, and it seemed that none of the other villages were willing to bat an eye towards them. In all honestly, it was the funding that they received from the Fire Lord they were still able to keep the village together.
"Tsunade-sama, the council has called for a meeting." Shizune said as she just entered the office. She groaned, these people were getting on her nerves!
"Fine. I'll be there soon." she said, dismissing her. She sighed. The war wasn't going to end and as far as she saw it, unless some miracle occured, they had already lost the war.

Sasuke was sitting on his bed, thinking about everything that had just occured about a week ago. He knew that what he had done was stupid, but he was young and blinded by revenge. He tried meditation, and to his shock, he found out a small detail that he didnt know had happened,but the more he thought about it, the more clearer it became. He remembered that Itachi had actually cried that day before he left. He CRIED! That just got him more confused but it made him believe that Naruto was telling the truth, that there was something else behind the massacre. He felt so stupid. He was blinded by hate and anger so much that he never thought of the possibility. He also remebered a small detail of ANBU, but not ordinary ones, attacking him, but he was saved by a girl. He couldnt see her face clearly, but she saved him before he went and saw Itachi killing everyone.
"I see that you've been thinking for a long time, Sasuke." a voice said from a corner of his room. He didnt even sense the person as he jumped and picked up his sword.
"Who are you and how did you get inside undetected?" he said.
"I'm hurt you still dont remember me." the person said in a mocking tone as they imerged out of the shadow. His eyes widden and he dropped his sword.
"You...."

Uzushio
Back in Uzu, Naruto is in his office when he got word that the Earth and Lightening Daimayos wanted to speak with him.
"When are you meeting them?" Hinata asked, with their child in her arms.
"Maybe in two days. Yeah two days would be alright."
"It might have to do with the Kages, what do you think?"
"If they got word of the war their hidden villages are in and aiding Oroochimaru, along with him decieving both nations, then maybe. But how did they get that information?"
"I'm not sure my love." she replied. "Arashi isnt letting you off that easily now is he?" he groaned as he remebered when they returned. His uncle was way too overprotective and started a storm, believing that he had been kidnapped. He actually went as far as almost sending a threat of war to Konoha, believing they did something, which was stopped when the secretary barged in saying the Uzukage arrived.
"He said I cant use shadow clones for the paperwork! Can you believe that!?" he exclaimed waving his arms. She and their son, Haku Uzumaki, just laughed.
"Daddy, you're funny!"
"Awww, its not me its your grand uncle (A/N: if thats a thing) thats making me suffer." he said, anime tears running down his face.
