"What's the meaning of this, Kashina! You're restraining a member of the council!" Wow! I'm surprised on how good Uncle Shikaku in acting. Among the clan heads, he's the only one that Shikamaru has told everything so he's aware of everything.

"You're talking about this traitor, Shikaku-sama." I told him seriously before smirking. "This traitor who made Uchiha suffered. See that Sharingans on his arms. He stole their eyes, pushed Uchiha Itachi to annihilate the clan and lastly, teamed up with Orochimaru to gang up the Lord Third. Now, still referring him as a council-ass?" I spat with a visible venom on my voice.

I despise this old bastard.

"What do you mean by that?" The Hyuuga head asked seriously. They're also wondering how Danzo obtained those Sharingans. "the Uchiha Clan was annihilated by Uchiha Itachi, what do you mean by Danzo's the one who pushed him." He added. The Akimichi clan along with the others like Aburame and Inuzuka was also confused but at the same time, furious.

Murmurs and violent reaction echoed around us but what captured my attention was the arrival of the gang along with Neji, Kakashi, Jiraiya and the other Jonins.

"Maa, let's stop talking first and watch." I told them and everyone stopped in their tracks. They didn't let any of their thoughts to be heard, they just stopped talking and waited. I smirked, hoping that Uchiha could see this sight.

I casted and there as tree of memories started to come out on Danzo's head that made everyone gasp. Danzo's trying to resist my technique but his Mind control was weak. If ever he's a Yamanaka, I probably failed this but luck's on my side.

"This is my newly develop technique. Mind Technique that can make my target reveals everything from his own memory. Although I branded this as a forbidden, it consumes a lot of my chakra." I explained them stoically. They just watch everything that is coming out and finally, the meeting of Itachi and Danzo somewhere after the Nine tails incident.

It's obvious that he manipulated Itachi and put him on despair and nightmare. What a nobleman. Next on his memory was when he made Itachi joined his ROOT to monitor his own clan. That made the clan heads furious. Other's were crying because of the painful fate they've received, other's were angry, other's were sad. So much for what happened to the Uchiha's.

The clan heads who was once friends and comrade with the Uchiha's were surrounded with a very intimidating aura. I can't blame them. Even I, wanted to cut his head now.

Some civilians felt horrified and troubled with the fact that they've been judging the wrong person.

And then the memory has changed to where Danzo stole Uchiha Shisui's eyes and made his ANBU's battled him. I unwrapped his right eye to reveal Shisui's sharingan. And I wasn't aware that my tears were now dripping down on my face but I could feel nothing. Just rage and hatred towards this man.

How could he do this. How dare he proclaim that he's doing this for the village. Disgusting.

at last, his memory finally showed his conversation with Orochimaru about forcing Uchiha Itachi to annihilate his clan and helping Orochimaru to kill Lord Third somewhere in the future. That ended my technique.

Everyone is silent. No one dared to speak up after knowing such history. Even Tsunade was surprised and bewildered after knowing the truth.

"Now... do you still consider this man as a council? After... after everything he had done. He killed the Uchiha's. He started the doubt! He made the Uchiha felt suffocation! Lord third and Uchiha Itachi made the very painful decision to counter their coup. Now... what do you want to do? Hokage-sama? This man committed treason and a traitor." I'm tired. Tired because of using that technique and tired because I started to think about Itachi and Shisui.

If only they're here, I'm going to ask them. Did I make it right? or Did I made you proud?

Tsunade teleported near me wearing a sad eyes. She just found out the truth about the Uchiha's, I don't expect anything. The clan heads also discussed solemnly which amazed me. they've hide their anger towards to Danzo while the other old council was ashamed and guilty for what happened to Danzo. Hope they could retire after this.

-

A moment of silence roared after Tsunade went beside me. Suddenly, the head of Nara and Hyuuga went up and grab Danzo's left arm and left sharingan eye then slashed it out of his body. Nothing was heard from Danzo because of my seals on his mouth but then I decided to hear his painful cries so I deactivated my seals.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Bitch.

Everyone was furious, everyone. Naruto and Sakura finally understood everything, yeah just now. They've gave me such sympathetic look for doing this alone for Uchiha's desires. Justice.

I just remained calm. Otherwise, I could cause havoc. Right now, right here. For making Itachi suffer, for everything.

I never regretted this, I actually enjoyed this show. Who would've thought that I publicly notified everyone about this dumb shit old fart.

Now, for the judgement.

"I am Senju Tsunade. The Fifth Hokage of the village. It was obvious that you've played a huge part on Uchiha clan annihilation, Orochimaru's invasion and the Lord Third's death." She stuttered on her last sentence related to Lord Thirds death. It must've hurt her a lot. After all, she treated Hiruzen as her father figure.

"Clan heads have made their decision." She said and received a scroll from the heads. It contains their final vote for Danzo Shimura.

Death.

Finally. 2 ninja from ANBU assassinations' unit went up and fixed Danzo on the garotte chair. As for me, I went down beside Uncle Shikaku and there he gave me his warm hug. I broke down, silently. I finally fulfilled my promise to Itachi and I hope he's happy now. I hope Fugaku and the other's can now rest in peace.

"You did well, Kid. Were proud." He told me and I nodded. He just let me cry on his chest so I let out my sobs. I know he's aware of my connection to Itachi. I wouldn't cry like this if I hadn't. I felt mom presence behind and she's stroking my back to console me.

I let go of Uncle Shikaku and went to mom. I buried my face on her shoulder so I could hide my face. Dad went to where Uncle Shikaku and watched how the assassination Jonin killed Danzo. I felt my burden lessen after they announced that the traitor's gone now. I felt relieve.

"Thanks mom." I told her after letting go of her embrace. Her gaze soften as she caressed my hair. I noticed some of her tears and that made me feel a bit hurt. The sight of me, breaking down must be painful to her. I'm sorry for making you always worry, mom.

"Worry not, sweetie. I'm proud of you and Shikamaru. You're our clan's pride." She told me and Shikamaru appeared beside me. I gave him a fist bump and earned a smirk on him.

"You did well, bro." I smiled.

A sudden bonked on my head happened and it was from none other than, Kakashi. Arara, I think he's more concerned than mad.

"Notify us beforehand." Was all he said and I nodded.

Tsunade ordered her ANBU to put Danzo's body away from the commotion. She didn't want me to burn his body into ashes, she's no fun. She also ordered those available Jonin to search and find Danzo's hideout and other leads to his other crimes.

I decided to left the commotion before she could pronounce me as something hero to uncover this truth. I already submitted my written reports about this incident and on how did I manage to find out the truth. Well, some lies and some truth. I already gave the council and the clan heads their copies of my report. Shikamaru also did the same which I earned another 'troublesome' thing. I sighed.

I teleported inside the house. Neji's still out and I hope he wasn't mad or something because I'm tired. I can't afford having a debate with him. I might explode.

I went to the fridge and brought out a liquor. I went to the cabinet to bring out my favorite shot glass and went to the balcony to drink. I want to chill before meeting Sasuke and Obito. I'm pretty sure that the transplant will happen soon.

I poured my glass then drank it straight. Neji hate the scent of my cigarettes so I decided to not to smoke here.

Suddenly, I missed that destiny boy. I want to at least hug him you know, to recharge and rest myself. I want to lay my head on his chest so I could hear the sound of his heartbeats. It's so calming. All of a sudden, I missed him. Were both became busy these past few months. We barely met.

How's he by the way? Hope he could return home later because I'll be going tomorrow.

After drinking, I decided to lay on Neji's bed. His unique scent lingers on his bed so I felt relieve. I'm contented with this so I let the darkness swallowed my consciousness.

.

I woke up, feeling a hand wrapped around my torso. I didn't bother to think who it was because of his scent. It's Neji. I slowly opened my eyes and was surprised when I met Neji's eyes fixated on mine.

"Y-you're up." I said while yawning. He didn't answered but gave my forehead a peck. A warm forehead kiss. I smiled. "I missed you." I told him before wrapping my arms around his neck.

"I missed you, too. Love" If only I could stay with him until tomorrow, I will. But I have work to do.

"Why're you still up? What time is it?" I asked. He should be sleeping now since Team Guy has an A-rank mission tomorrow. The reason why they're out when Pain Invasion happened.

"2:00 am." He answered before tightening his grip on my waist. Worry was imprinted on his face so I asked him what's wrong. "Nothing." And then he smiled to cover his worries.

I didn't pushed him more. I just remained in silence while my gaze were connected to his. We're both hiding something to prevent each other's to worry. And I blame myself for making him hide something from me. I blame myself for making him worry. I blame myself for making him lie to me.

Are we going to be fine, Neji? I thought so.

I nuzzled on his chest after breaking my glares. I don't want to tell him lies anymore so I decided to shut up. I just woke up but I suddenly felt mentally tired.

I let go of him to caressed his jaw so he closed his eyes to feel the warmth from my hands. He tightened his grip on my waist and I smiled.

Don't let go of me, Neji. Okay? I'll do everything for you.

"Neji?" I asked.

"Hmmm?" He hummed and opened his eyes.

"I love you." And there I closed the gap between us. As soon as my lips touched his, he stunned as if he wasn't expecting a sudden kiss from me.

His hands went from my waist to my jaw to deepened our kiss. As soon as I felt his tongue seeking for an entrance, I let him in. I didn't know that Neji was a French Kiss type. This amazed me. His tongue continued to play inside my mouth and I'm satisfied

We let go of each other as soon as we felt a lack in oxygen. I averted my gaze after meeting his gaze because I suddenly felt embarrassed. He must be thinking that I'm so bold to initiated a kiss. Argh! Overthinking sucks!

Neji caught my chin and tilt it up to give me a forehead kiss. All of the embarrassment I felt earlier faded because of his warmth. And there I almost die as soon as he finally uttered the magic word.

"I love you, Kashina."
