Naruto Namikaze awoke quickly as his alarm gave a soft beeping sound. Quickly moving out of bed, the young Namikaze placed his Anbu gear on quickly before hanging his Root mask, a Salamander, on his belt and exiting his room. Strolling briskly down the halls of the underground Root base, most would wonder exactly why an eight year old boy would be in the base of an organization which was supposedly disbanded.

Approaching the room of his leader, Naruto placed his Salamander Anbu mask on, taking careful care to avoid hitting his left 'eye'. In truth, Naruto's left eye was practically gouged out when the Iwa Anbu failed to kill him, so Naruto was forced to wear a medical eyepatch. While this would hinder almost any other Shinobi, Naruto was able to adjust to the Shinobi life extremely. That was the rule of Root. Either you become strong enough to support the great tree of Konoha, or you would be crushed.

Knocking twice, he heard a sharp "Enter" from the resident of the room. Naruto, or as he was known with the mask on Sanshouo, entered the room quickly and silently.

Danzo looked down at his greatest member, but kept his face clear of emotion. "Sanshouo. How have you come along on your training?"

Sanshouo was silent for a few seconds. "Kenjutsu is Above Average. Taijutsu is Average. Chakra Control is Average. Chakra level is High. Genjutsu is Average. Ninjutsu is High. That is my report, Danzo-Sama."

Danzo nodded. "What about the Kyuubi's chakra?"

Here the hesitation was more noticeable. "I have done the meditation exercises alongside Fu, and have encountered the Kyuubi. It refuses to give me chakra, and Fu was forced to remove me from my mindscape."

Danzo had a slight frown on his face. "Hm...well, I believe I may have a way to gain control of the Kyuubi. Sanshouo! In about a week, you shall head to the Uchiha compound alongside Itachi Uchiha. Assist him in exterminating the Uchiha Clan. After Itachi flees, gather all Mangekyou Sharingan and several normal Sharingan, but do it quickly. Understood?"

If Sanshouo was confused, he did not show it. "Understood, Danzo-Sama."

"You have your mission. Go prepare."

"Hai!" Sanshouo quickly disappeared into the shadows, as a small grin came across Danzo's face.

"Kagami...your Eye will be most useful...Let's just hope your sons is too."

Hiruzen Sarutobi entered the Council Room, seeing his old teammates there. Koharu and Homura were speaking in hushed tones, while Danzo was sitting in his seat, waiting for Hiruzen to declare the meeting started. Hiruzen sat down at the table, setting his Hokage hat in front of him.

"It is time to discuss the Uchiha Clan, Hiruzen. We can not allow them to launch a coup!" Danzo was first to speak up, as Shisui's Mangekyou slowly activated underneath his bandages.

"I know what you're thinking, Danzo! We will not destroy the Uchiha clan. Doing so will make us look even worse. I will find a peaceful solution..."

Danzo scoffed at this. "When will you find this solution, Hiruzen? After Fugaku has already launched us into a Fourth war? We have no Jinchuuriki to disway the other Great Nations from war. It is we either destroy the clan, or destroy the village!"

Homura looked to Danzo. "And how do you suggest this, Danzo? We can hardly fill the compound with ANBU. Doing so will bring up too many questions, make us seem so weak to the other villages that we can hardly stop a possible rebellion." Koharu nodded her head to this statement.

"Not to mention that we'd look almost as bad as Kirigakure. Konoha got to where it is today by seeming to be the friendliest of the villages."

Sarutobi quietly smoked his pipe, before sighing. "I see no other way to stop them. I will call for a squad of ANBU to slay them quickly..."

"That won't be necessary, Hiruzen." The three elders looked as Danzo spoke. "We have a very powerful ninja in our ranks, whose loyalty to Konoha outshines his loyalty to the Uchiha. I vote we have Itachi Uchiha massacre the clan, and create the facade of a missing nin." Danzo silently cast Kotoamatsukami on Hiruzen.

Sarutobi looked troubled for a minute, before nodding. "Fine...I will inform Itachi..."

As the Elders were leaving, Danzo grinned. Sometimes it was just too easy.
