"So, are you ready for the spar?" Itachi asked when Mikoto and Hae brought the st dish and sat at the table.

  "sidering the event that is going to take p a few hours, I think we should postpohis until that settles," Kaida said with a simple smile.

  "You know what's happening around these days?" Itachi asked. Though he masked most of his shock, Kaida could sense a little surprise in Itachi's voice.

  "Due to some circumstances, I am the reason for these events," Kaida said with an awkward smile.

  From this versation, Kaida firmed ohing: 'Fugaku hasn't even told his son about this pn. Is it for security reasons? sidering there's little Itachi could do to help in this situation since he also has around Jonin level strength at the moment, just like me and many others in the Uchiha .

  Though impressive, or one say utterly impressive feat to attain at his age, the feat in itself was nothing big. Fugaku could and more than a hundred Jonin level ninja; there's no way he's going to send his prodigious son on such a mission.'

  "None of you is going anywhere for some time, so you guys don't have to hurry about that spar anyway," Mikoto said, trying to ge the mood.

  "Okay," Itachi said and then focused on his food. Kaida did the same, and no particurly iing talk happe the breakfast table other than Mikoto, Hae, and Yomi discussing something which Kaida didn't find the o pay attention to.

  The only thing on his mind was the cil meeting that was going to happen soon. This was one of the easiest and most effective pns against Danzo, for which Kaida had even used one of Shisui's most powerful abilities.

  If Danzo came out of this easily, then the only way to remove him would be to effectively kill him, because even after upgrades with the 3 tomoe Sharingan, Kaida couldn't find any other way to remove Danzo's power.

  Since he wasn't strong enough to fa S-rank ninja yet, let alone an S-rank who had many Jonins under him, there was no way Kaida would be able to do anything against Danzo for some years. And since he had taken such a major step against Danzo, there was no way Danzo would wait four more years like in the ao do something like the Uchiha massacre.

  This meant this was the first and st ce to effectively take care of Danzo without any bloodshed. Kaida was uandably te the moment, and his increasingly analytical mind wasn't helping at all.

  ...

  Fugaku was fully prepared for the cil meeting, but there was still visible stress as well as anger on his face. This was like deg Danzo an enemy of the Uchiha and Aburame s. Yes, they had also decided to bee pletely offeer seeing the tents in the Root base.

  If they succeeded this time, then it would be well and good, and if not, there would be a full-blown war against Danzo. But at least Fugaku didn't have to deal with going against the whole of Konoha like he nning before.

  Just Root was within the range of ehe Uchiha alone could take care of. Heck, if not for those legendary Sannin, they could even go toe-to-toe against the whole vilge with enough preparation, of course.

  So now there was no need faku to ighe atrocities Danzo had itted against ninjas from his . Due to this, the anger he had suppressed till ed, and the current pn came into a. Because now, Fugaku was ready to kill Danzo even if he had to use his trump card, his Mangekyou Sharingan, which he had kept hidden till now.

  After st all the files reted to the meeting ie seal, Fugaku went toward the Hokage building, only to find that most of the heads were already at the meeting hall, sitting in their respective positions.

  Some of the heads were still not there, but Fugaku was sure that they would be here within the 10 minutes, sihis was not a normal cil meeting. It was a feud resolutioing, but it was not as simple as the name represented.

  This type of meeting only took pce when the only other option remaining was direct frontation – a feud that would only end when one of the two parties was dead. Since directly going for the kill would destroy the peace within the vilge, Tobirama came up with this idea.

  This meeting was called not only by one head but two, and both of them were from promi s of Konoha. That's why this had bee a hot topic among Konoha's high-level shinobi, and even those heads who were not invited by Fugaku were also ied in this meeting and were already present.

  The meeting hall tained a semi-circle made up of chairs with 3 chairs iween, all of them pointing toward a single chair in the room which was the gra, most likely belonging to the Hokage himself.

  Fugaku solemnly took his seat, and just after him, Shibi ehe hall, a little weary, most likely from not sleeping at all the previous night. But being an experieninja, he could easily shrug off not sleeping for a night or two. However, if the reason behind that was as horrific as seeing the remains of your close ones being defiled, the situation ges.

  Mind and body get tired after trying to trol oneself from not going to the perpetrator and submerging him with so many bugs that even in his afterlife, he'd be born with a fear of bugs.

  Shibi didn't make any eye tad just took the seat right o Fugaku. Si was they who had requested this meeting, they were given a single seat.

  After every head arrived, Danzo made his appearance. Without making any eye tact himself, he also took his seat, which posite Fugaku's and Shibi's seats.

  With his calm behavior and rexed mood, no one would be able to tell that he was the person accused by two heads. But reality was a little different from what it appeared.

  'Even after 4 hours, they were uo find out why Shibi joined forces with the Uchiha against me,' Danzo was thinking, with his brain ing up with many theories and discarding them along the way.

  Danzo was anything but calm. At first, one of his capable Jonin died on a simple mission, and even his body was unfound. The Uchiha took full advantage of his slip a against him with a resolutioing, and even the Aburame joihem for some reason.

  But Danzo was sure that he wasn't going to receive any hy punishment for this, like every other time.

  While he was thinking these things, Hiruzeered the room. But he wasn't the neighborhood grandpa type Hiruzen who usually talked with young ninja and tried to act like a grandpa.

  No, this Hiruzen was the leader of thousands of trained ninja who was not only respected by eae of them but also feared for his strength.

  Wheered the hall, it became quiet. Everyone could feel some type of pressure on their shoulders. Hiruzen took his seat and looked toward ead every head's face, ending with Danzo. After that, he looked toward Fugaku and said,

  "Let's start the meeting."
