To create a workable n, Fujin had one clone in the library the entire time that he wasn''t on missions. His clone looked through the entire library to find any methods and seals to help him find a way to infiltrate the Uchihapound.
After researching and practicing for a month, Fujin had found all the means to create a n and try his luck while ensuring his safety and anonymity. He began the preparations.
While Fujin was making his preparations, the Uchiha n too began their preparations. All active Uchiha ninjas were called back. Every single Uchiha ninja returned back to Konoha. They began to prepare themselves for the war.
Meanwhile, Danzo met Itachi in secret and exined to him what would happen when the Uchiha revolted, once again. He convinced Itachi to take action against his own n.
However, while the two were talking, their actions were seen by one person. In his room, Hiruzen watched their whole interaction in his crystal ball. Surprisingly, neither Danzo nor Itachi sensed anything off.
Tiredness could be seen on Hiruzen''s face as he sighed on seeing his friend''s actions, ''I would have stopped him. Unfortunately, the rtionship between the vige and the Uchiha n has deteriorated beyond repair.''
His expression became firm as he decided not to interfere, ''While it''s true that they were relocated to the outskirts of the vige and monitored by Anbu, no Uchiha was ever mistreated by us. I can understand that they would be dissatisfied with such a treatment. However, this is no excuse forunching a coup that would destroy the vige.''
On deciding the fate of the Uchiha, Hiruzen''s eyes fell on Danzo, ''My old friend, it looks like you havepletely fallen into Darkness. This will be thest time you will interfere in the matters of my vige.''
While the undercurrents were flowing in Konoha, Fujin was busy in his basement making a lot ofplicated seals. A day after Mieko told him the news, Fujinpleted the first step of his n.
He took a deep breath, ''Finally, it''s done!''
He made a hand sign. A shadow clone appeared next to him. The clone made multiple hand signs. Fujin observed the clone by concentrating chakra in his eyes. He could see that the chakra signature of the clone was slowly changing. Soon, it was very different from Fujin''s chakra signature. His scent also changed.
Fujin thought, ''Good, now it will be difficult to link the clone to me.''
After the clonepleted the process, Fujin applied another scent to the clone to make it look like he was hiding his real scent. Next, the clone used the Transformation jutsu to transform into a Honey badger. Fujin thought, ''Normally, seeing this animal in the streets of Konoha would raise suspicions. But, the Uchiha npound is on the outskirts of Konoha. If it appears there, it won''t cause any suspicion. After all, there are many of these in the forests inside Konoha. ''
After the clone transformed, Fujin began making seals on its body. He first applied seals that would increase its affinity to Earth nature maniption. This way, it would have an easier time moving underground and would also reduce any chances of it being rted to Fujin as Fujin wasn''t known for his Earth element.
He followed it up by applying numerous stealth seals on the body of his transformed clone. Soon, the honey badger couldn''t be seen, heard, smelled or sensed! Fujin checked his work several times until he was satisfied.
Finally, he nodded and said, "You''ll be responsible for the first task."
The honey badger didn''t reply. Fujin made a hand sign and sealed him in a special storage scroll.
He created a wind clone who took the storage scroll with him and flickered multiple times in the forests next to his house. Aftering to a very secluded ce far away from his house, the wind clone opened the scroll and let the honey badger clone out. The honey badger clone checked his surroundings and moved stealthily towards the Uchiha n. He moved under the ground so as to not leave any trails.
The wind clone also left. After going away sufficient distance, he destroyed the storage scroll and dispersed himself.
The honey badger quickly moved towards the Uchiha npound but did not enter it. He had no intention of testing his seals against the Sharingan. Instead, he went to the route that Uchiha kids would take while going to anding from the Academy and stayed there.
The honey badger clone thought, ''The first task consists of two missions. The first is to keep an eye on Uchiha Sasuke. The day Sasuke returns veryte from the academy will most likely be the day the massacre happens. And, the second task is to see if anyone notices me. If someone does, I will drop all ns of stealing that dead body.''
While this clone kept an eye, Fujin created 5 more honey badger clones. They would roam through the forests and training grounds in Konoha to see if anyone notices anything suspicious in them.
Fujin had calcted, ''Honey badgers are rathermon in Konoha. So a few more of them shouldn''t raise any eyebrows. However, if someone is still able to somehow figure out that they are my clones, I can just admit that they were made by me and I was practicing stealth for missions. After all, I haven''t done anything wrong yet. If no one notices anything strange, then I''ll deploy them around the Uchiha n.''
The honey badger clones would roam around Konoha all night and disperse themselves when the Sun rose. Fujin experimented for two days before deciding that they were safe to be used. From the 3rd day, all 6 of his honey badger clones used to stay around the Uchiha npound. In addition, Fujin would maintain 2 wind clones at one secluded spot a few kilometers from the Uchiha npound.
With the preparations done, Fujin just waited for the right moment.
A few dayster, in an underground base under Konoha, Danzo stood with a subordinate. The subordinate respectfully asked, "What job do you have for me, Danzo-sama?"
Danzo looked at him and said, "Your Triatominae bugs can induce sluggishness, right?"
The Root ninja was from the Aburame n. He replied, "Yes Danzo-sama. They can cause slight sluggishness with their poison. And since it poses no direct threat and doesn''t have any color or smell, it is almost impossible to detect."
Danzo said, "Good. Your mission is to poison the drinking water that reaches the Uchiha n with this poison. Use very small quantities. Your main priority is that this poison isn''t noticed. Once you are done, go to training ground 49 and wait for me."
The Root ninja was surprised by the mission. However, it wasn''t his ce to question Danzo. He nodded and left. Danzo watched him leave as he thought, ''He was a good subordinate. A shame that he has to die.''
Danzo called another subordinate of his and instructed him to approach the Aburame ninja in the training ground 49 and kill him and dispose of his body as well. Though Danzo''s subordinates had his curse seal, no seal was perfect. Considering the importance and severity of this matter, Danzo decided to take this step. This way no one other than him and the elders would know about the truth of the Uchiha massacre.
The Root ninja from the Aburame n did his job exceptionally well. Since it only caused a slight sluggishness, no Uchiha ninja realized that they had been drugged. After all, they didn''t have to move at full speed in their normal lives.
Danzo made a few more moves that day. He ensured that no Hyuga, Inuzuka or Sensor ninja was in the vicinity of the Uchiha npound to prevent any interference. In fact, he had ensured that most of their active ninjas were on duty outside Konoha.
Finally, on that evening, Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Obito appeared in the Uchiha npound. Almost everyone in the vige was oblivious to the massacre that was about to unfold. Only 3 were aware of it and waited patiently.
Danzo was busy with his Root ninjas to ensure that Itachi wasn''t interrupted. Meanwhile, he also had to ensure that his Root ninjas weren''t close to the Uchiha npound and get caught in the fighting. Hiruzen had recalled all Anbu ninjas that were keeping an eye on the Uchiha n. While Fujin was waiting in his basement for his clones to send him a message.
