24 The Story of the Mangekyou!

-----------3rd Person POV-------------

Kakashi Hatake had seen quite a lot of wired things in his short but illustrious ANBU career. He had seen a man grow a tree house by stomping on the ground, he has seen a man make his arm into a wooden spear and drill it through some unfortunate Iwa shinobi, and he had seen branch- okay so maybe most of the weird things he had seen had been related to Tenzo, but still, he had seen some freaky shit, well not like this though.

At first, it was just the blood coming out of his eyes, seeing that the kid was just charged with treason and that his dojutsu was spinning like mad might have something to do with it, but then his eyes started to change, and Kakashi immediately unveiled his Sharingan as he got ready for a fight, the shape of his eyes wasn't the normal fully matured Sharingan anymore, it was a like a fuma shuriken but with four blades, and then he said goodbye before he vanished before his very eyes. Even his Sharingan proved ineffective in locating him.

It was like space itself distorted as he got sucked into his right eye, while everyone was confused Kakashi immediately made the hand signs to secure the perimeter, he then turned to Suzaku-san and asked, "That certainly wasn't in any reports..." Suzaku meanwhile was staring at the spot where Fujii was standing seconds ago.

"No, no it wasn't..."

"Are you still sur-" Kakashi was cut short by the man's glare, he backed up one step and put his hands up, Suzaku was an old ANBU commander that had retired from ANBU after completing his service, he was well a respected superior so he backed off.

"We need to report this, the council is still waiting..." Kakashi spoke and the Jounin sensei nodded reluctantly. As they made their way back to the village, the number of ANBU patrols coming and going through the village were tripled.

They arrived at the Hokage mountain, the council chambers were built deep into the mountain. The Konoha council consists of three sections, the clan heads of the various clans in Konoha, the village elders or other retired shinobi that have given their life serving the village, and the Hokage.

The council chamber was a semicircle in shape, the Hokage sat at the center while the various clan heads and other members of the council were seated in front of him. Kakashi shunshined in front of Hokage-sama bent on one knee, while Suzaku bowed and took his seat among the retired shinobi.

Hiruzen was having a bad night, what had started as a bad night had turned into a disaster as the days progressed, he could still see the angry glare directed at him by Fugaku, no amount of evidence that Danzo presented made him believe that the boy was a traitor, and frankly neither did Hiruzen, it just didn't make sense, but it was the only way forward if they wanted to avoid the war, as the peace treaty envoy was killed in their village, and the envoy represented the Lightning Daimyo too, there was no other way.

"Kakashi, where is Fujii?" Hiruzen asked, the tension in the room was palpable.

"Mission unsuccessful Hokage-sama, target escaped," Kakashi reported, his head still bowed.

"What do you mean-"

"Was he really a spy-"

"Silence!" Hiruzen stopped the muttering before they could begin and asked, "What do you mean he escaped, dog, you had a whole platoon of ANBU for this mission?" he was feeling a little confused, he had checked up on the kid from time to time, he was a normal shinobi if a tad bit more talented than usual.

Kakashi hesitated, not sure how to explain the scene, so he tried to put it as elegantly as possible, "He vanished." his words though had the unexpected result of making the whispers worse.

"What about Itachi, how is he, he was supposed to keep him busy while we investigated," Fukagu asked while at the same time Danzo finally broke his silence, "What do you mean he vanished."

While Kakashi was about to explain the situation in a more bland manner Suzaku intervened, "His Sharingan changed..." that got Fugaku's attention, "the tomoe's were spinning and spinning before blood started pouring out of his eye, before his Sharingan changed shape, and then he was sucked into his eye..."

Everyone stopped and pondered about what they heard before turning to look at Fugaku, asking for an explanation, who had a bitter look on his face, the Mangekyou was not as much of a secret as it was supposed to be, he was pretty sure Hokage-sama knew about it, and so did Danzo and the rest of the elders, but the rest of the shinobi council didn't.

"The Sharingan has 3 forms, a single tomoe Sharingan, that gives the user the ability to copy ninjutsu and taijutsu, a two tomoe Sharingan allows the user to break genjutsu and use them with a single glance, and a fully mature Sharingan allows for predictive capabilities. While it is not widely spread, there is a fourth level to the Sharingan, in the records, it is stated when an Uchiha suffers severe negative emotions or loss, then their eyes can evolve further than the basic Sharingan and evolve into Mangekyou Sharingan."

The council chamber was silent as everyone pondered over the issue, "Then you meant to say that Fujii Uchiha awakened the Mangekyou?" Danzo asked, his tone was steady but he was gripping his stick tightly, the power he desired was awaked by an 8-year-old brat, and he even managed to flee the village.

"What's the difference between the Mangekyou and the normal Sharingan?" Haishi asked, although he and Fugaku never really see eye to eye with each other, today's matter hit a little too close to home.

"While severely enhancing the already powerful abilities of the Sharingan, the Mangekyou gives the user access to two extra abilities, these abilities may wary and new abilities pop up with every Mangekyou user discovered, this ability to either hide or teleport whatever it is, is a new and undocumented ability, which is not within the clan archive..."

Everyone was silent for a second and then Hiruzen turned and asked, "If every eye is documented, do you know any Uchiha who deserted the village and also had the Mangekyou..." Fugaku gritted his teeth, the nine tails incident came up once again somehow.

He didn't know what the Sandaime was doing, but he muttered the only name he knew would put an end to this conversation, "Uchiha Madara"

The name lingered in the air for a bit, before Danzo spoke, "We need to update our Bingo books..." as arguing and commotion once again started to overcome the meeting, Kakashi silently slipped into the shadows, his thoughts full of the rotating Uchiha eye and the 8-year boy, that he knew for just a day, and his image slowly superimposed with the image of his deceased friend.

'I'm sorry, Obito'
