Chapter Text
The members of Team Ebisu: Konohamaru, Moegi, Udon and Ebisu himself; stood on a cliff overlooking one of the many hideouts of one Obito Uchiha. They were dispatched by the current Hokage and retrieve any and all relics that belonged to Konoha or other artifacts pillaged from other villages.
It has been a few weeks since the Fourth Shinobi War ended. Villages rebuilt, villagers mourned, warriors and shinobis recovered.
The attained victory against Madara Uchiha was one without sacrifices, as such everyone was given time to mourn for their losses. Despite all of this, everyone around the world celebrated for the victory they garnered.
“Now remember to seal anything and everything you find.” Ebisu reminded.
“Hai!” The remaining members acknowledged as they went their separate ways.
Konohamaru arrived at what looked like an Uchiha clan stronghold from the clan-wars era. The giant Uchiha emblem was painted on a wall at the far-end of the room in an altar-like manner.
Konohamaru looked around. The place was filled with Uchiha memorabilia, which the last of the clan, Sasuke, rightfully owned.
The young Sarutobi began his work of sealing all the memorabilia he found in a storage scroll. The things he sealed ranged from small kitchen knives to fuuma shurikens.
As Konohamaru moved along, he unconsciously drew the top part of the Uchiha’s emblem on the floor. In doing so, a hatch opened directly above him and a scroll fell on top of his head.
“Ow!” Konohamaru cried as he nursed the pain on his head.
Curiously, he picked the scroll and began reading its contents silently.
“A jutsu with inconsistent results.” Konohamaru read out loud. “First was to release the contents sealed within the scroll.”
Feeling adventurous, and the temptation of having an edge over his peers, he followed the scroll’s instructions. He unsealed the contents and three more scrolls appeared by his feet with the labels ‘eye’, ‘body’, and ‘formula’.
“So first open the ‘formula’ scroll and follow the instructions.” Konohamaru stated to himself as he remembered what he read from the previous scroll. “Then unseal the contents of the ‘eye’ scroll.”
The Sarutobi picked up the formula scroll and read its contents.
“So this is where the observations of this jutsu detailed.” Konohamaru concluded. “And the hand seals are” He read.
As soon as he finished reading, Konohamaru unsealed the ‘eye’ scroll. A busted eye appeared on top of the scroll, as a result.
“Gross.” Konohamaru commented after he gulped air in uncertainty.
The Sarutobi began to distance himself from the eye then faced the giant wall emblazoned with the Uchiha emblem.
“Let’s see, the hands seals were…” Konohamaru trailed off. “Tiger, Snake, Dog, Dragon then clap the hands.” He enumerated as he tried to remember what was written on the ‘formula’ scroll.
The Sarutobi did the seals he enumerated and black markings appeared on the floor. Then fell down on the floor due to exhaustion.
“What was that Jutsu!” Konohamaru exclaimed. “That took a lot of chakra.” He observed.
The young Sarutobi was ignorant of what started after finishing the hand seals. A seal array appeared on the floor. It started from the place where Konohamaru’s hands once hovered, it surrounded the eye then it continued to travel even further towards the wall with the large emblem.
Konohamaru waited a few moments for something to happen, but nothing did. He spied the other scroll that was ignored by the scrolls he recently read. Curious as to what scroll contained, if it contained anything at all, he picked it up and began unsealing its content.
“Lord Danzou.” Konohamaru stared in horror as soon as the corpse of Danzo appeared before him.
The Young Sarutobi was shocked and in horror as he looked at the lifeless body of Danzo. The corpse was missing its right arm and its right eye socket was empty. The right eye socket was in a state that the eye was removed forcibly after the death of the person.
As Konohamaru was busy doing the tasks assigned to him, on the other side the wall was an old man trapped by a chain. Probably one of the people Kabuto kidnapped during the war and be used as a sacrifice for the undead army.
The man stirred awake when he heard a boy talking to himself.
“Heeeh.” His voice came out hoarse.
The man tried again but all that came out of his mouth was air. He did the next best thing in order to get help, and that was to make as much noise as possible. He tugged on the chains that prevented him from leaving the room. He rattled on them.
But to no avail.
He soon fell on the ground, tired. He was living off of water droplets for a month.
A moment later a seal array appeared from the wall in front of him. It slowly approached him.
“My turn now huh.” The man commented as he slumped on the ground.
Hopeless to escape, the man surrendered himself to the whims of the snake person who kidnapped him.
As soon as the array surrounded him; dust, ash and dirt began to attach to his body as he screamed silently. The dust and earth around the screaming man, completely covered him and was replaced by a humanoid mold. A second later the man was replaced by a 15 year old male with black hair, Sharingan eyes ablaze.
The kid replaced where the dying man once stood. His limbs were in the cuffs that the man’s limbs were once in.
“Cuffed?” The boy questioned as he tugged on the chains. “Where am I?” He voiced another question as he looked around the room he was in.
The Uchiha continued to tug on the restraints as he looked around.
“Last I remember was falling at Naka River.” The boy recalled. “After giving my remaining eye to Itachi.” He continued. “Impure World Resurrection huh.” He realized.
The boy was indeed Shisui Uchiha, Itachi’s best friend and a hero who wished for nothing but for his clan and village to live together in harmony.
As soon as Shisui made the realization, he tugged on the cuffs that restrained him and forced himself free, ‘slicing’ his wrists and ankles in the process, which began to regenerate almost immediately.
The revived Uchiha found a small hole in the room, which he conveniently fit in, and made his escape. The small passageway lead to the outside of the room where Konohamaru was staring in horror at Danzo’s corpse.
“Lord Danzo’s dead?” Shisui questioned.
Despite what the man did to him, he knew that Danzo was still a prominent figure of Konoha. And killing one such figure was grounds for treason, or so he recalled.
Konohamaru managed to recollect himself after a small moment of reprieve, he was about to reseal everything back and resume the mission when he felt something odd in his surroundings. Suddenly, three shurikens were thrown at him, which he was able to deflect with his kunai.
“Who’s there?!” Konohamaru exclaimed as he assumed a defensive position.
Shisui remained silent and instead opted to throw more projectiles, ranging from shurikens to kunais from every direction.
Konohamaru was on the defensive as he evaded and blocked the projectiles coming his way.
“Why did you kill Lord Danzou!” The Uchiha’s voice echoed throughout the room.
Four Fuuma Shurikens were thrown at Konohamaru from four different directions.
The Sarutobi saw the incoming projectiles but didn’t have any room to dodge the huge shurikens. Not a moment later a single piece of log was pierced by the four Fuuma Shurikens that were aimed at him.
“I didn’t kill him!” Konohamaru shouted in his defense as he blocked another kunai. “I just found his corpse here!” He explained as he evaded three more shurikens coming his way.
Shisui’s constant use of body flicker made it impossible for Konohamaru to pin point his general direction. Left without a choice, the young Sarutobi weaved handseals then threw a handful of shurikens in the air towards four different directions.
“Shuriken Shadow Clone jutsu!” Konohamaru declared.
The shurikens that Konohamaru threw multiplied themselves and began to lodge themselves to everything in sight. The walls, the shelves, the cabinets; nothing was spared from the projectiles he cloned.
Shisui just used body flicker and attacked Konohamaru with his tanto, which Konohamaru blocked then the Uchiha faded and reappeared in another direction repeated the same process, cornering the Sarutobi at the center.
“Did you know that killing a councilman is grounds for Treason?” Shisui questioned as he used Body Flicker again to gain some distance and threw a handful of shurikens.
“I did not kill Councilman Danzou!” Konohamaru insisted as he jumped to evade the shurikens coming his way. “I found his corpse sealed inside a storage scroll!” He defended.
“Let me be the judge of that!” Shisui declared as he appeared in front of Konohamaru, his Mangekyou Sharingan staring deeply into the young boy’s eyes.
“Shisui of Teleportation.” Konohamaru managed to say in realization before falling to the ground unconscious.
