Oh fuck yes time for ninjas.

I love Ninja Thursdays!

Awww yeah, the hype is real.

After returning to the village, your team immediately headed for the Hokage's office to give a report. Except for Kiba, who was urged to go home and rest.

You, Sasuke, Tenten, and Shino all give your perspectives on the events, as the Fifth listens intently.

"So you kept her alive with some of the tailed beast's chakra, eh?" Jiraiya muses. "This could be useful as leverage with the other Jinchuuriki themselves. They might be more willing to cooperate if we can guarantee their safety. Good work, Shino."

Sasuke begins to speak. "About our team becoming Chunin..."

"You three won't be promoted." the Hokage interrupts. "Sorry, but those are the rules. You'll just have to wait and try again at the next opportunity. Which for you may be quite a while, but you'll manage. Your brother's inauguration is tomorrow. We'll be leaving on the day afterwards, so make sure you're ready."

"So soon?" Tenten asks. "Don't you have to do something first?"

"We've spent the past few years warming the Daimyo up to the idea." the Fifth explains. "There's nothing stopping us now, so the sooner, the better."

The fifth dismisses Shino, Sasuke, and Tenten. He turns to you.

"Kon." he says, face serious. "After this, and keeping your prior performance in mind, you might be pushed pretty heavily for Jonin. I don't know what Itachi may decide, but I won't be supporting you for promotion at this time."

>A.Why not?

"I understand." you reply. "I don't think I'm quite ready to be a Jonin, myself."

"You'll get there." the Hokage says, leaning back in his chair. "Get a couple more years under your belt, and I'm sure you'll make a great Jonin. I just want you to remember that on the battlefield, everyone can make a difference. You can't do everything alone, and if you have allies who can help you, you should take advantage of that. That's something I'll have to drill into Sasuke as well."

Jiraiya stands up from his chair and stretches his arms. "Anyway, everyone has tomorrow off, so relax. Enjoy yourself. I know I will, for the first time in a long while."

The fifth laughs as you're dismissed. You leave the Hokage's office and head out. It's still only midday, and you have no obligations today.

You decide to go see how Kiba's doing. You still feel bad about what happened, after all.

As you approach his house, you see Kiba and Akamaru lounging in the sun.

"Yo, Kon." Kiba greets you. "Guess who's got a date tomorrow after the inauguration? That's right, me! So I'm gonna need you to help me out on this one. Now that I've got this cool scar, I can tell her all about it, but we've got to make it sound cool, all right? Think you can lend me a hand?"

I think it varies from contract to contract, really. Because the toad contract appears to cover the entirety of anura and the snake contract has both constrictors and venomous snakes, but Itachi's crow contract only summons crows and not other corvids and the slug contract specifically summons only Katsuyu. I guess it being a contract means that not every member of the genus (or their representatives, I doubt literally every summon signs the contract individually) has to sign it if they don't want to.

>>42963911
>A.Sure thing
And if i do this favor, do i still have the right to " hitting on Haku" insult?

>>42963911
>D. "I've already got it. You were holding the bastard down after socking him in the jaw, and told me to take the shot anyways. Don't worry, I'll be there to corroborate your claim...what does it look like, anyways? I've never actually seen what kind of scar it leaves."

"Of course. It already sounds cool. 'This is where I let my friend SHOOT THROUGH ME to hit the missing-nin we were fighting without him being able to block'. We just need to leave out the bit where you were unconscious."

You know something sad I just thought of looking up Kiba on the wiki? Akamaru's going to die long before he does. He's three years old when we first meet him, and by the epilogue, roughly twenty years or so later, he's a sleepy old hound. So his lifespan is probably only twice that of a normal dog. Poor thing probably won't live to see his best friend turn forty. Man, I'm depressed, now.

"Sure thing." you answer. "I mean it already sounds pretty cool. 'This is where I let my friend shoot though me to hit the missing ninja we were fighting so he couldn't dodge.' No need to mention you were unconscious."

"Heh. Thanks, man." Kiba says. "I kind of feel like I was just in the way, though. You and Sasuke were just hammering him, while I just ran around keeping those mask creatures busy. Akamaru and I need to do some serious training."

You hang out with Kiba for a while longer, then head home. You talk with your uncle over dinner about the mission.

"You always seem to get caught up in more trouble than you bargained for." he says. "I guess that just happens when you're a ninja though."

After dinner, you head upstairs and get a good night's sleep in your own bed.

The next morning after breakfast, you head out. The inauguration is in an hour, so you don't need to rush.

You decide to go to the inauguration with your teammates. You pass by Kiba's house, but he says he's going to pick up his date, and that he'll meet you there.

So you head towards the Uchiha compound. Everyone there seems to be in high spirits, it's a big day for the clan. You reach Sasuke's house to find him getting ready to leave. He's notably less excited than the rest of the Uchiha seem to be.

"Hey, Kon." Sasuke greets you. "You going to the inauguration right now?"

"Your clan seems pretty excited about it." you reply. "So is something on your mind, Sasuke?"

"Heh. You never can just let things be, can you Kon?" Sasuke laughs to himself. "Yeah. With all that's been going on, I can't help but think, you know? The clan was one of the two that founded the village, and now an Uchiha is finally becoming Hokage. That's huge. Itachi is pretty much set up to be the clan's greatest hero. I had trouble enough thinking I could surpass him, but now with this deal about the Fifth training me, it's almost like giving me a handicap. Like he knows I could never reach his level on my own."

You reach his level with less, that's surpassing him anyways."

"It's not like that." you tell Sasuke. "You're looking at this all wrong. Itachi got some damn good teachers, too. Including the Fifth, in case you'd forgotten. He's giving you the same chances he got, that means he sees you as an equal. This is a good thing. And hey, if you don't want to train under a Sannin, I'll gladly take your place."

"You just don't know Itachi like I do, Kon." Sasuke sighs. "From the very beginning, he was always skilled. He fought in a war at four years old. That wasn't because someone trained him, he's just that good. But I will get the training. If that's what it takes to reach his level, I'll do it."

The two of you leave for the inauguration. You see plenty of familiar faces here. There's the Nara, Akimichi and Yamanaka clans, along with Haku. You see Tenten and Shino a ways away. In the crowd, you also see Lee, Sakura, and Sai. Even Iruka Sensei and Anko are nearby.

Soon enough, Kiba pulls up to you and Sasuke along with his date.

"Hey, guys." Kiba greets you. "Kon, this is Tamaki. Tamaki, this is my teammate Kon. You already know Sasuke of course."

"Hello." Tamaki waves. "Nice to meet you, Kon."

Kiba puts his arm around your neck. "This guy right here, let me tell you. We just got back from a mission, and we fought an S rank missing ninja! Oh yeah, this was the real deal, ain't that right, Kon?"

Sasuke just raises an eyebrow to Kiba's boast.

we was hitchhikin' down a long and lonesome road.
All of a sudden, there shined a shiny Akatsuki in the middle... of the road.
And he said:

Play the best song in the world, or I'll take your heart
Well me and Kiba looked at each other,
and we each said... Okay.

You and Kiba start to describe the battle and your opponent, making sure to give plenty of focus to Kiba's exploits. You try to make it seem like you're talking it down, and Tamaki listens intently.

"You're being ridiculous." Sasuke speaks up. "You could barely manage a hit on him. He was way too strong for any of us."

Kiba grits his teeth. "Yeah, that's right. I couldn't do much. I wasn't strong enough. That's why gave Kon an opening! I grabbed him, and shouted to Kon: 'Do it! Fire your jutsu!' And he fired right though me to hit the guy. I still have the scar, too."

"Wow." Tamaki says, impressed. "That's pretty incredible."

Sasuke just rolls his eyes as Kiba grins. Soon enough, the inauguration has started.

The Fifth makes a speech, and symbolically hands the Hokage hat over to Itachi, who puts it on before making a speech of his own.

"I am the youngest person to ever take the office of Hokage." Itachi starts. "At only nineteen years old. But everyone has put their faith, and their trust, in my ability. My clan, the Uchiha, have all long waited for this day, and I carry their hopes on my shoulders. I have always put the well being of the Hidden Leaf Village foremost in my mind, and I will continue to do so. No matter what, the future of the village is my greatest priority and as long as I am the Sixth Hokage, I will work tirelessly toward the goal of making our village prosper."

Itachi's speech goes on for a while, but once it ends, there's plenty of cheering. The crowd eventually disperses. Kiba and Tamaki head off, and Sasuke says he has things to do before taking his own leave.

You're about to head off yourself, when Itachi approaches you.

"Congratulations." you tell Itachi. "Were you looking for Sasuke? He just left."

"Actually, I wasn't." Itachi says. "I needed to speak with you, Kon."

Before Itachi can continue, Shizune runs up holding a bottle of pills.

"Lord Itachi, you can't leave these around!" Shizune tells him. "You need to remember to keep these on you at all times. Take two with each meal, one if you start getting symptoms. Don't forget about the transfusions either, you need to come by every two weeks, and we'll need blood samples too."

Shizune is about to go on, when Itachi stops her. "Shizune, I don't need to remember these things because you'll remind me."

Shizune looks confused.

"You've taken care of me thus far." Itachi goes on. "I see no reason for that to change. You'll be my aide, and stay by my side to take care of me. I'll see you tomorrow morning."

Flustered, Shizune eventually leaves, and Itachi turns back to you.

"Sorry about that." he says. "Anyway, I want you to come to the Uchiha compound tonight, to our clan gathering, to accompany Sasuke. You are his closest friend, and I feel like he could use your support tonight when he learns the truth. Of course, it will be a secret, but I trust you."

good thing we don't know anything about that or don't have a reason not to trust Itachi and his clan

It still sounds pretty ominous, even in character. Our friend's brother telling us that he's going to tell our friend something traumatic that he'll need support for? Kind of worrying to think about.

They thought they did. Its just swing your best friend die.

>>42966121
The 'D-tachi' surely.

>>42966215
The person has to actually die. They don't have to be the one to do it, though. In canon Sasuke got his after seeing Itachi die from his...whatever it is he's sick with. Same with Obito getting it just from seeing Rin get mercy-killed by Kakashi.

"I'll be there." you tell the new Hokage.

"Thank you." Itachi replies. "I know you likely want an explanation right now, but it has to stay secret. I'm sure you understand."

The rest of the day sees you helping out your uncle at the restaurant. It's the holiday, so the house is packed most of the day.

As it gets late, you head for the Uchiha compound. Everyone is gathered in a huge assembly hall. You see Sasuke sitting by the wall and take a seat next to him. On the stage in front, Itachi stands by himself. It seems like every single member of the clan is in attendance.

"So why did Itachi ask you to come here?" Sasuke asks. "I thought this would just be a family gathering."

Not cool, Sauce.
Being a ninja is like being a pilot.
Your wingman's callsign might be a pejorative crack about something stupid he once did, but you are OBLIGATED to come up with a story that makes it sound badass if a girl at a bar asks why you call him that! And if he comes up with some bullshit first, YOU HELP HIM SELL THAT SHIT! You're also obligated to help him sing "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" to her if that's his chosen approach.
Sasuke needs a good session of vaguely homoerotic beach volleyball when he gets back from his training with Ero Sennin.
Oh god he's training with Ero Sennin. Who is no longer restrained by the obligations of the Hokage.
Our little Brosuke is going to come back a complete pervert.

Ohhhh shit itachi is gonna go all murder hobo on erryone ain't he?

>>42966492
Nah, he wouldn't do it right now. Not after he's put in all this work to reform the clan and keep them from any insurrection. Whatever this is, it's going to be something different. Maybe an unveiling of the Uchiha Tablet?

>>42966492
I'd kind of assumed that the divergence occurred when Danzo was imprisoned. That meant Itachi could have continued with his original plan of using Shisui's unique genjutsu to end the rebellion before it started.

Thus no need for the Uchiha slaughter or defection, and we get a non-broken Sasuke.

>>42966553
Have we had it confirmed that Danzo was arrested? Because if not, I'm calling it now that he's going to show up as the wham ending to a thread like Naruto did.

>>42966553
He may not be broken but dude needs a Kon crash course in the bro code.

>>42966582
According to Laze yes, Danzo is in prison.

"He said he was revealing something." you respond. "And he said he invited me here because I was your closest friend."

"Really?" Sasuke mutters. "What could it be?"

Once everyone settles down, Itachi addresses the clan.

"Good evening everyone." he starts. "I know you are all excited about my inauguration today. It truly is a great day for the Uchiha Clan. Which is why I am finally freeing all of you."

Itachi summons a crow with a strange Sharingan.

"In order to keep peace in the village, I cast a genjutsu upon all of you." Itachi goes on. "To keep any unnecessary blood from being shed, I had you all push aside thoughts you had of rebellion, and serve the village faithfully. Now that I am Hokage, I hope that you can stay your hands of your own accord. I will now release the genjutsu, and your minds will once again be fully your own. Whether you decide to forgive me, is up to you."

Itachi holds up the seal the release genjutsu as the crow points its Sharingan at the clan members.

"Kotoamatsukami: Release!"

At first, nothing seems to happen, but several Uchiha Clan members start to look around in confusion.

Itachi pulls the Sharingan out from the crow and crushes it in his hand.

You look to Sasuke, who is in shock.

"All this time, it's been a lie?" Sasuke mutters. "He's had the entire clan under his control?"

"Sasuke, the non-Uchiha is confused. What rebellion is he talking about?"

>>42966652
Where did he get the chakra for that? In canon he could only use it once a year. Danzo could use his Shisui eye more often, but he had Hashirama cell grafts to give him a shit ton of chakra. What did Itachi do to himself to be able to cast it over an entire clan?

>>42966928

huh...

>>42966928
He just admitted to keeping the village from self-destructing, and he did so under the Third's orders.

When the Hokage does it, it's not illegal.

>>42966967
And we like the Third!

>>42966964
>>42966966

And killing him now would prevent the civil war he so foolishly just restarted. Keeping peace in the village.

Except there's no proof the Uchiha clan would stop just because he's dead.

Using genjutsu to avoid infighting is a great idea

Removing it not so great

Telling people they've been brainwashed and then removing it, thats a fucking terrible idea. Just do it itachi no need to start a shitstorm over it

>>C. "Wait, I don't get it. Why would the Uchia rebel? Why would you being Hokage stop them if they were gonna. Are they still gonna?"

>>42967154
Because they're so going to love the guy who betrayed them and kept them under mind control for years. Tell me, how is him being in a position of power over them a good thing? None of them are going to believe that they're in control of the village now because he's the Hokage, he's proven that he considers their concerns something to be treated without the least bit of decency or respect. If he thought otherwise, he wouldn't have mind-raped them for the past six years.

You are extremely confused yourself, but you try to keep Sasuke calm.

"Hold on, Sasuke." you tell him. "We don't have all the information, he probably had a good reason. Let's talk to him afterwards. Besides, he didn't cast it on you, so he trusts you, right?"

Sasuke stops shaking and speaks again, a bit more calmly this time. "Rebellion? What is going on?"

In the crowd, some of the Uchiha are getting angry. You see Sasuke and Itachi's father shout in rage.

"How dare you, Itachi!?" Fugaku screams. "You cast a genjutsu on your own clan? I don't care if you are the Hokage! You are no different than the rest of them! You disgrace our clan!"

Some of the Uchiha join him in his opinion, but others try to talk everyone down. It seems the clan is divided.

"Make no mistake, father." Itachi starts. "I did this for the good of both the village and the clan. But the village comes first. I have no regrets. Now that I am Hokage, you have no need to worry about the clan's stature. The Uchiha will continue to prosper, as they have these past years. You still all have the memories of that time. Surely it has given you some perspective. You have not been slighted or mistreated. You can choose to continue this peaceful coexistence, or throw it all away. If you were to do so, I can assure that the clan would not be better for it."

The crowd calms a bit. They seem to understand the implications.

Fugaku approaches you and Sasuke.

"Well, Sasuke?" he asks. "Where do you stand? Do you support your brother's upheaval of our clan?"

Sasuke seems unable to reply. He just stands in front of his father, looking down.

>>42967250
"With all due respect, sir." you interrupt. "You're asking him to choose between his father and his older brother. It's an impossible choice, and you disgrace yourself forcing it upon him."

Fugaku looks enraged. He looks like he's about to smack you when Sasuke speaks up.

"Why does it need to be a choice?" he asks. "Are you truly so incapable of living in this village peacefully? You can't be part of it unless you're forced to? The last seven years were all a lie! That peaceful happy life is something you just can't even achieve even when it's right in front of you? The clan has no need to oppose Itachi! What's wrong with the way we've been living? If that kind of life outrages you so much, I'd rather you stayed in the genjutsu!"

Fugaku turns his attention to Sasuke. He looks like he's about to lose it, but his arm is grabbed by his wife.

"Fugaku." she says. "Striking Sasuke won't solve anything."

Several Uchiha try to talk the others down. There seems to be no immediate danger of a fight breaking out now, though several Uchiha still clearly seethe with anger.

Sasuke leaves the hall in a rush, while Itachi also sees himself out, and leaves the other Uchiha to their devices.

"So that was it, huh." Sasuke mutters. "When I was a kid, my father would always praise Itachi endlessly. I barely got the time of day. But seven years ago everything changed. He was nicer, more supportive. The whole clan just seemed like they became better people overnight. I didn't think much of it then, but it was all a lie. Their true selves were just locked away."

>D.I don't know much about stuff like this. But, I guess they're all perfectly capable of doing like they've done for seven years. If they're capable of being your family, then they're capable of being your family or something.

B. All it changed was thoughts of rebellion, not their thoughts about you

Not locked away, just warped, they were cleared of their old hates and flourished for it. That was the real them if they can just let go of that anger. Your gonna be ok man, but wanna find your brother and chat with him, strike while the irons hot and all that

"Your mom was still nice. Your dad might be an asshole, but at least you have her. And Itachi...well, I think he's a huge scumbag right now, but he trusted you with this knowledge instead of leaving you in the dark, so he clearly cares for you on some level."

"I won't even pretend to know who's right, but it sounds like Itachi did what he did to protect the whole village. Including you and your clan."

"An Uchiha rebellion would have been a disaster for all of us."

I think it's ok, just say that "if" is a really big one

"It had to be done. Itachi wanted to protect the whole village, and an Uchiha rebellion would have been a disaster for everyone." you tell Sasuke. "But they still care about you. The family you had these last seven years was them, just without their anger. It wasn't fake. I'm sure they can change and let go of their hate. And your brother trusted you with this knowledge, so you know he cares about you. You should go talk with him."

"Yeah." Sasuke answers. "You're right, Kon, as usual. I guess I'm glad I'm leaving tomorrow, it'll give me time to think."

Sasuke heads off to find Itachi, while you head home. You go upstairs and get some rest.

The next morning, you're up bright and early to see Sasuke off. He and Jiraiya are all packed and at the village gates. Itachi, Kakashi, Kiba and Akamaru are all there.

"Well guys, this is it." Sasuke says. "Two years away from the village."

>>42968158
>D.Believe it

We should get details on what the genjutsu Itachi used did exactly. If all it did was remove the urge for rebellion, then the way they acted wasn't really a lie.

>>42968205
It was basically the same one that got used on himself in canon

"We'll try and keep everything where you left it."

Then the minute he's gone,
"I think the Hokage rock would look good on the opposite side of the village, what do you think?"
