The sounds of birds chirping outside woke the sleeping Shisui. He rolled over to face the opposite direction of the sun.

"Did last night really happen?" He said out loud staring at a soft hentai poster on the wall.

*Get up**Get up**Get up* the voice of his sensei echoed from behind him.

*Get up**Get Up**Get Up* His alarm continued to go off.

"alright, alright" He mumbled getting out of bed gingerly. Pain resonated throughout his body as he reached over to turn off the alarm.

He slowly made his way into the hall.

"Ha. Ita, you ok" Shisui found Itachi in the hall on his knees in front of the bathroom door.

"Yea." Itachi said as he used the wall to lift himself.

The two boys found themselves together in the bathroom again. Both moving slowly as possible to avoid any unnecessary pain.

"Ya know this is all because of you right" Shisui continued to brush his teeth in the mirror.

"Yea" Itachi said after he spit into the sink.

"Well at least class will be a little more interesting" Shisui said washing the remaining toothpaste out of his mouth.

Itachi walked out of the bathroom slowly.

Shisui watched as his usually spirited rival left the bathroom lacking his fighting spirit.

The two found themselves in the kitchen eating breakfast. An activity that for the last 7 years they didn't have time to do.

The clashing of silver spoon and glass bowl made unpleasant noises as Shisui ate to his heart's content.

"Shisui, what do you think we should do?" Itachi interrupted his friend in the middle of his meal.

"Do about what?" Shisui continued to eat with his head down as he answered.

Itachi looked out of the window, the rays of the sun highlighting the ambition in his eyes.

"I think we should go to the oasis and meet Sakura"

The clanking noises of the spoon hitting the bowl stopped as Shisui looked up at his long time friend.

"What? you can't be serious, she tried to kill us"

Itachi now began to look at Shisui, "I understand how you feel but aren't you tired of being crammed in these walls? Sensei taught us the way of the shinobi so that we can live our ninja way not be afraid to use our gifts"

Shisui's eyes now turned to look outside of the window. He paused as the wind picked up blowing the canopies of the tall oak trees outside, "Leave these walls?"

*DONG DONG DONG DONG*

The massive school bell resonated throughout the house , shaking its foundation once again.

Shisui snapped out of his trance, "Ahh man and we got up so early"

The two boys rushed to the car and sped off in the direction of the school.

"Itachi walk in with me."

"yea right, of course Itachi wants to walk in with me"

a group of girls bickered around Itachi as he made his way to the classroom.

Shisui followed not too far behind.

His head was on a swivel as he looked around for the girl from the West district.

Itachi held his breath as he entered the classroom. To his surprise he found the dean of the school standing in the front of the room with a tall man wearing an all black suit.

The dean and the man appeared to just have finished discussing something.

Itachi took his seat, the sea of girls continually blushing around him.

Shisui waited before he walked into the classroom. He looked up and down the hall before he finally entered.

"Come In, come in class, Shisui have a seat quickly please."

When everyone was seated, the dean adjusted his tie before he spoke, "Good morning class I'm glad all of you could join us today,"

Shisui looked at the vacant seat to his right.

"This man to my left is the chief of the fox police for the South East district, he is here based on allegations that members of our school were involved in the fire that happened last night."

The class broke out in a loud murmur. Shisui's eyes widened as he looked at Itachi who was sitting several desk in front of him. Itachi kept his eyes straight ahead.

"What happened to miss Hurano?" One of the students interjected.

"Yea she just got here yesterday?"

More students started to take note of their new teacher's absence

"Quiet down class. Miss Hurano..."

"Miss Hurano is a wanted criminal and the fox police have reasons to believe that there are people at this school that are helping her" The chief interrupted.

The class erupted into a loud murmur once again.

"Now now, class although we were unaware of the identity of Miss Hurano, I have told our chief here that no one at our proud school would have anything to do with any criminal activity," the Dean held his head high before continuing to speak, "However it is fox police policy that if there are allegations, then the police must do a thorough investigation. We will be calling you one by one into my office throughout the day, but you are to continue your normal day activities."

Sophie suddenly raised her hand, "But dean we don't have an instructor"

"Yea, and why is our class the only one being interviewed?" another student raised his hand immediately after.

The class erupted into an even louder murmur than before.

"Now class I will not tell you to be quiet again." The dean waited for the noise of the class to subside.

"Thank you. Like the chief has said the fox police have reasons to believe that there are students that were involved with Miss Hurano in this class. Seeing how she was this class's instructor, it also makes the most sense to exclusively interview this class. As I have said we will be calling you to my office one by one throughout the day. Now are there any more questions?"

The class remained silent, satisfied with the Dean's answers.

The dean adjusted his tie and prodded his glasses, "Now will you excuse us." He began walking to the door, the man in black following right behind him.

"Wait dean we still don't have a teacher." another student interjected.

The dean paused and looked over his shoulder, "Ahh yes, this class's sub for today will be Mr. Peebody."

The class erupted in a loud miserable cry.

"ahh man not Mr. Peebody, he smells terrible." a girl whispered into Itachi's ear.

The dean appeared to smirk a little before he walked out of the class. Mr. Peebody walked in shortly after.

"Hello class *sniffle sniffle* take out your notebooks and lets begin." Mr. Peebody walked to the front of the class, a liquid stain appeared on the back of his trousers.

The class let out another miserable sigh in unison.

Besides the stench from the sub and the occasional student being called into the dean's office, the day continued like any other regular school day.

Itachi tried to tone out the sea of girls around him while Shisui stared out of the window off into the distance.

The door to the classroom opened again.

In walked Sophie who slowly walked in and reclaimed her seat next to Itachi.

She appeared more pale than usual and didn't even look in Itachi's direction.

The sea of blushing girls continued around Itachi, but he noticed the disturbance in its waters.

He leaned over closer to Sophie, "How'd it go?"

She whispered something underneath her breath.

Itachi leaned in once again, "What?"

"You didn't even call me like you said you would!" Sophie yelled at the top of her voice.

Everyone turned around to face the two including Shisui and Mr. Peebody.

"Don't yell at Itachi like that" The girls around Itachi directed their anger at Sophie.

"Itachi is it true?" she started to sob

Itachi said nothing. He just stared at the girl beginning to cry next to him.

"Is it true Itachi!" Sophie erupted into a full blown cry.

Itachi said nothing still.

Shisui looked on intrigued at the situation his friend was in. He laughed to himself, "Serves you right."

"*sniffle*sniffle* please keep it down class" Mr. Peebody said trying to calm the class that was now beginning to grow in excitement at Sophie's crying.

Suddenly the door to the classroom opened, "What is going on in here?"

The dean entered into the classroom with a clipboard in his hand, "I thought I told you to keep it down?" He waited once again for the class to resume its silence. Sophie continued to sob quietly.

Itachi no longer looked at her, but instead he focused on the dean, anticipating the name he would call next.

"Ahh silence is beautiful isn't it? Now the next student that I need to see is Itachi Uchiha."

Sophie's sobs got a little louder as Itachi got out of his seat and followed the dean outside of the classroom.

The atmosphere in the classroom grew foreboding.

Shisui watched as Itachi walked out of the classroom. He took a deep breath and then turned his head to look outside of the window again.

Mr. Peebody continued teaching and the class returned to normal.

Several minutes passed and Shisui began to grow impatient. Itachi's interview with the Chief and the dean appeared to be taking longer than the other interviews.

Apparently Sophie began to notice it too as her sobs got louder with each passing minute.

The door opened up once again and in walked the dean wearing a completely different suit. As soon as he entered, he looked at Shisui who was staring out of the window.

Shisui returned from his trance to looked at the front of the class to see the dean staring right into his eyes.

Shisui clenched his teeth.

"Eeehh emm, Yes, well now will Shisui Uchiha please come with me."

Everyone turned around to look at Shisui.

A random student interjected, "Excuse me dean but are you not going in order by how we sit?"

"No, I need to see Shisui Uchiha immediately."

Shisui clenched his teeth even tighter and slowly rose from his seat.

The dean began to sweat profusely as he walked out of the classroom with Shisui following him.

"Waahahahaha." Sophie could be heard from the classroom crying as the dean and Shisui walked towards his office.

"Run Shisui they're going to arrest you!" Sophie ran out into the middle of the hallway and shouted.

Both Shisui and the dean turned only their heads.

"Shisui will you follow me to my office please."

Shisui turned his head and continued to follow the dean.

Sophie broke down in the middle of the hallway crying on her knees. Her face was buried into the floor.

Mr. Peebody, several classmates, and students from several other classrooms stuck their heads into the hallway, everyone with puzzled looks at the situation that just unfolded.

Shisui and the dean walked in silence until the dean's office was a few paces away.

Shisui swallowed deeply and then took a deep breath to calm himself. He began to notice his surroundings. It was abnormally silent. He could sense the presence of many people behind the doors that he walked passed. The hidden people seemed edgy.

He now looked at the dean. His sweat could be visibly seen seeping through the back of his blazer.

"Excuse me dean, is everything alright." He said.

The dean paused, "Yes" he said nervously.

Shisui smiled slyly, "Itachi what's going on?"

The dean suddenly made a right turn in front of his office. When Shisui arrived where the dean was there were Fox Swat in front of them further down the hall with loaded guns aiming in his direction.

"Freeze spread you legs and your arms!"

Several doors opened in the previous hall and streams of Fox Swat came rushing out with their weapons drawn aiming at Shisui.

"Dean what's going on? Where's Itachi!?" Shisui yelled.

"I'm sorry." The dean said before he ran in the direction of the Fox Swat in front of him.

Shisui made an attempt to reach out and grab the dean but it was too late.

"I said freeze! Keep your hands away from each other. If you keep moving we will shoot!"

Shisui did as he was ordered as the Fox Swat began to close in on him.

He smirked, "All this for one kid?"

A Fox Swat officer returned his smile and then hit him in the face with the back of his gun.

Shisui's vision went blurry as he faded in and out of consciousness. A throbbing pain radiated through his head.

"Move it now!" Although he kept stumbling, he was being forced to walk to a Fox police transportation vehicle.

The sun beamed down on his head causing his pain to increase even more. He looked up and saw birds flying in formations throughout the cloudless sky.

Smoke began to take the form of the clouds as he looked over to his right towards the school.

There were firefighters actively putting out a fire that was around a large hole that now allowed the dean's office to be accessed directly from outside. Blood was everywhere as paramedics took care of injured Fox Swat members. The paramedics covered several bodies on stretchers.

"Put him in the confinement cage and make sure his hands are completely separate" Shisui found himself being loaded into a cold steel cage. His arms and legs were bound tightly to the walls of the cage so that he formed a human star standing upright.

The doors of the van made a loud noise as they closed. The van was completely dark. The extra secure latching of the door could be heard being fastened outside of the door.

Shisui began to lose his consciousness again, "It... ita... Itachi where are you?"

Shisui fell into an unconscious state as the van began to move.

Light shown on Shisui, waking him slowly. "whaa.." he could hear the muffled voices of people near him.

"Whaa.." His head was throbbing as his memory jumped back and forth between the events at the school and the piercing light that was causing his head to hurt even more.

"Wha... What's going on?" He finally was able to say.

He rolled over to his right and began to take in his surroundings. He was in clear box like cell. Each wall appeared to be pure glass. He looked through the transparent wall in front of him. There was a large tree that appeared to be encased in by other glass like cells. the tree was surround by bushes and several small picnic tables scattered through the area. The tree's trunk was a massive mahogany object. Its had thounsands of leaves that reflected the suns rays making them a lively green

Suddenly something dropped from the tree. His eyes moved down till he saw where the thing landed. He saw a baby bird struggling on the ground for a while before it finally began to fly. He watched until it became invisible off in the distance.

"Yo" Itachi popped into his vision.

"Ahhh shit" Shisui jumped back and hit his head on the glass wall behind him.

"What the hell Itachi."

Itachi started laughing, "They really fucked you up didn't they?" he looked at the large bump that was on Shisui's head. A trail of dry blood led down to his cheek.

"Well you're one to talk what happened to you?" Shisui said now looking at the state of his friend.

Itachi was even worse than Shisui. He had cuts all over his head; all over his body to be exact.

His clothes here battered and his left eye was almost completely closed.

"Ehh fucking Fox Swat." Itachi said brushing his shoulders off.

Both boys burst out into laughter.

"So you did that to the school and those Fox Swat too? Oh Ita... you're soo cool?" Shisui said mocking his friend.

Itachi smirked, "Yea but now we're probably dead." He turned his head to look out one of the glass walls that revealed the inside of a highly sophisticated building.

Shisui sat up in his bed and looked off in the same direction.

As they looked into the building, a door opened at the end of the hallway and several Swat Fox and a man wearing a fox mask came walking down the hallway.

The group walked in an orderly fashion. The Fox Swat members surrounded the man with the mask as if they were protecting him.

They continued to walk until they arrived in front of the cell.

Itachi and Shisui stared into the mask's eyelets.

The man with the mask paused for a minute before he began to speak, "Criminals I'm glad that you are both finally awake," he paused for a minute again as if he were smiling underneath his sinister fox mask, "I will be opening this cell in just a minute to take each of you to an interrogation room, If you make any unadvised hand gestures we will kill you without a moments notice. In other words please don't test us, it would be such a drag."

Itachi started laughing, "Kill us? you think you can?"

The man with the mask answered immediately, "Yes, you were only spared to avoid a public massacre, In these walls no one can see you so please don't worry, your actions from earlier will be handled."

Itachi's face returned to normal.

The Fox swat group separated as the man with the mask walked up to the front of glass wall and touched it with the palm of his hand.

The door began to separate, Itachi looked at Shisui; Shisui nodded his head. They were in each other's minds.

As soon as the door was completely opened, Itachi and Shisui made an attempt to dash for the door, but they both stopped suddenly.

"What's going on?" Itachi said his head facing forward.

"I don't know attack him." Shisui said yelling back.

"I can't move" Itachi said back calmly.

He looked down at his feet, a long shadow connected his shadow to the man with the mask's shadow.

Shisui noticed his friend and noticed the same thing connected to his.

"This is such a drag." The man with the mask said.

His hands were pressed together forming the sign of the rat.

"Alright, let's go." He turned around and Shisui and Itachi began following him in unison.

"Stop following him." Shisui said bickering at Itachi.

"Don't you think I would if I could?" Itachi said back condescendingly.

The Fox Swat surrounded Itachi and Shisui as the man in the mask led them.

The facility was more hi-tech than the two boys could ever imagine. Eye like camera's hung from the ceiling above them. The walls were a reflective metallic color. There were images displayed on some while others reflected the light that shown above.

Every now and then the group would walk past individuals wearing silver jumpsuits. Occasionally drone like machines brandishing the a fox emblem walked by, but everything moved as if the group was invisible. Shisui and Itachi continued to walk against their will.

The group walked for what seemed like hours to the heavily injured pair of captives, until finally the man with the mask stopped in front of a pair of doors.

One of the doors was to his right while the other was to his left.

"Ok I am going to release you two, but only to walk into these rooms please do not do anything rash." The masked man said now turning to face the captives.

"So can use chakra too." Itachi said.

The masked man ignored him. The connection between their shadows slowly began to return to its owner.

Itachi and Shisui stood facing the man not moving an inch, while the Fox Swat stood behind them guns at the ready.

The two boys looked out of the corner of their eyes as the two doors began to open.

They both walked in to the corresponding rooms.

"*Phew* that was easier than I thought." The masked man took off his mask and ran his hand through his hair until it ended at a pony.

The doors of the rooms that the boys walked into now closed.

Itachi stood a in room that would be completely dark if not for the dimly lit light that glowed above the metal table place in its center.

"Itachi would you please have a seat." A voice echoed throughout the room.

Itachi kept looking forward before he did as he was directed.

"Perfect. I would like to ask you some questions if that is ok with you."

Itachi looked around the room before he answered, "I will only answer your questions if you ask them to me in person."

There was long pause before the voice responded, "Very well, give me a moment."

Itachi waited in the poorly lit room for a minute before a wall across from the door he entered opened.

In walked a man that was identical to Ibiki (from the naruto series).

The man smirked, "You know you've got some balls to demand things in the situation you're in. I'm Ibiki Morino, you're sadistic interrogator for the day"

Itachi looked at him and said nothing.

"Ehh now you want to be quiet? Regardless you will answer my questions or suffer the consequences."

The man now sat in the chair across from Itachi looking him directly into his eyes.

"What is your relation with Sakura Hurano?"

"I have no relationship with her, she was merely my teacher for a day."

Ibiki squinted as he looked at Itachi.

"Very well why did we find chakra tracings of you and your brother from her house?"

"I have no idea."

a vein on Ibiki's forehead began to bulge.

"We have a testimony from one of your classmates that said you were attending a party on the same street, but that she did not see you until the fox police had arrived, how do you explain that?"

"... I was avoiding her."

Ibiki slammed the table, "Lies! Where is the location of Sakura Hurano"

Itachi's facial expression remained more blank than ever as he looked Ibiki in his eyes.

Ibiki now sat back in the chair, "I see, so you would rather pain than talk."

"I see so you would rather pain than talk." Itachi copied him.

"Do you think this is funny?!"

"Do you think this is funny?!" Itachi copied him once again in the same manner.

"mmsmdama" Ibiki tried to say something, but his mouth would not open. He looked down at his lips and found that they were sealed shut.

Itachi stood up from the chair. "Let me you show you what real pain is."

He walked over to Ibiki's side of the table and pulled a kunai out of Ibiki's pocket. He began stabbing him slowly all over his body. Excruciating pain overwhelmed him, but he could not make a sound because his mouth was completely sealed. His eyes began to gush a rivers of tears.

When he tried to move he found himself bound to the chair unable to budge an inch.

Itachi kept whispering in his ear over and over again, "Let me show you what real pain is." He continued to stab him.

Two Fox Swat guards looked in on the room where Itachi was being interrogated.

Ibiki sat across from Itachi staring into his eyes. They didn't make a sound or move an inch.

"What the hell is Ibiki doing?"

"I don't know I think this is one of his interrogations techniques."

"Are you sure man he looks..."

"Look bro, Ibiki is a master he knows what he's doing just watch, we'll find out where that bitch and her rebels are in no time."

The two Fox Swat guards were discussing what they saw on the surveillance cameras when the door opened abruptly.

"Shikamaru let me help in the interrogations."

"Uhhh princess Hinata, you know why I can't do that." Shikamaru the man with the ponytail responded annoyed.

" Its Just because my father has been afraid since my mother died, but that doesn't mean that I should suffer even more for her death."

"No, its because you'll compromise your identity if you reveal yourself. Plus you know how much your father loved your mother, that's why he named you after her."

Hinata rolled her eyes, "Did he really love her or did his stubbornness kill her?"

"What was that?" Shikamaru turned around sharply.

"At least let me come in the room while you interrogate the other guy. I was only in one class for one day, whoever it is probably doesn't even remember me."

Shikamaru ignored her comment as he walked over to the camera monitor, "What is Ibiki doing?" he looked at one of the Fox Swat.

"I don't know sir, he's being looking him in the eyes for about 25 minutes now."

Shikamaru stared at the camera for several minutes, "Fuck look at his eyes."

All four people in the room looked at the camera. Itachi's eyes were red and spinning so fast that you had to look very carefully to notice their movement.

"Itachi..?" Hinata said surprised.

"Tell the Fox Swat to subdue the other one immediately, I'm going to save Ibiki. Hinata please stay put."

The two Fox Swat in the room looked at each other confused, "Save him from what?"

Shikamaru ignored their question and walked out of the room, "Why me, this is such a drag."

He quickly ran in the room wearing his fox mask, "Shadow possession Jutsu." He clapped his hands together to form the sign of the rat.

"Alright Itachi release him, there's nothing you can do."

When Itachi's eyes turned back to normal Ibiki, fell from the chair and passed out.

"You're a handful you know." Shikamaru said as Fox Swat members ran into the room to examine the fainted Ibiki.

Itachi smiled at the sight of Ibiki on the floor.

"Tell the other prisoner to come into the hallway I'm taking them back."

Shikamaru walked into the hallway with Itachi following his every move.

"Yo what's up Ita..." Shisui paused as he saw Ibiki being carried out on a stretcher.

"Itachi strikes again." He said jokingly.

Itachi smiled at his friends remarks, "Don't tell me you let them interrogate them?"

"Me? nahh no one ever came in the room I was getting bored." Shisui said shrugging his shoulders.

"That's enough can you two be quiet before I have to make you." Shikamaru said, now controlling Shisui.

Fox Swat members immediately surrounded Shisui and Itachi like how they had done before.

"So mister masked guy you're pretty smart for wearing that mask." Shisui said provokingly.

"You probably should have told your buddy that too. I mean if he would have came in my room I would have..."

Shisui paused in mid sentence as he saw something he would not have expected to see in a million years.

Hinata stood in an adjacent hallway staring at the group. She wore a Fox Swat uniform which brandished a vest over swat like clothing. Attached to her back was a sword.

Her eyes widened as she made eye contact with Shisui.

Shisui's face suddenly turned from surprise to anger. His three prong tomoe sharigan cut on immediately.

"What are you doing here?" Shisui said grinding his teeth.

Hinata closed her eyes and walked in the opposite direction.

Shikamaru continued to walk, but Shisui suddenly stopped.

"Why isn't that guy moving?" He thought as he turned his head, "Who are these kids? Why are they so strong?"

He looked at Itachi who was staring at Shisui.

"Listen, You're going to die if you do anything rash." Shikamaru yelled at Shisui.

Shisui now turned to face Shikamaru, "Die? I am an Uchiha do you really think you could kill me."

Shikamaru's shadow slowly began to retract. Sweat began to pour down his forehead.

Shikamaru tightened his hands and began pouring more chakra into his jutsu, but it was no use his shadow fully retracted; Shisui and Itachi we unbound.

"Now listen to me, you won't get out of here alive, so think before you do anything crazy."

Shisui smirked, "I am crazy."

Shikamaru reached for a kunai, but before he could grab it, Itachi fell to the ground.

"Itachi!" Shisui knelt next to Itachi who was now unconscious on the ground.

"Look your friend there used too much chakra with the stunt he pulled in the interrogation room, he needs to rest."

Shisui glared up at Shikamaru

"Look you can kill me another time, but you're definitely not going to get out of here with him in that state." Shikamaru gulped.

Shisui's sharigan left his eyes. He picked up Itachi and put him over his shoulder.

Shikamaru let out a deep breath, "Alright shall we continue." He turned around and led them back to the cell.

The now dark cell closed shut as Shisui threw the fainted Itachi onto the bed.

He turned to look at Shikamaru who was already halfway down the hallway.

"Why'd they pick me to deal with these guys?" He said breathing heavily.

Shisui climbed up onto the top bunk and closed his eyes.

"Why are you here?" He said to himself out loud.

He laid in the darkness for some time, his thoughts preventing him from going to sleep.

A light from further down the hall cut on as a door opened.

He lifted his head to look in the direction of the light.

Coming down the hallway was a Fox Swat soldier wearing a mask. The soldier continued to walk until it stopped in front of the glass.

Shisui hopped out of the bed and walked to the glass. They faced each other as if staring into their own reflections.

The soldier took off its mask, revealing his face, or rather her face.

Hinata smiled at Shisui through the glass but Shisui's face remained blank.

"What are you doing here?" Shisui asked her.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you, but I was on a mission from my father."

"Your father? don't tell me you're..."

"Yes, I'm the daughter of the Hokage."

Shisui closed his eyes briefly, "I don't care as far as I'm concerned you're an enemy." He said aggressively.

Hinata's eyes turned puppy dog like, then she closed her them, "Look Shisui I'm sorry that this happened to you, but why are you in league with the rebellion?"

"Rebellion? I don't care about a rebellion."

"Wait then why are you helping Sakura?"

"Look I don't know what you're talking about, but if you have nothing else to say then you can leave."

Shisui turned his back towards Hinata.

"Shisui, they're going to execute you and Itachi tomorrow in front of the whole city to set an example," She looked down at her feet, "I just came here to tell you."

Shisui walked away from the glass and climbed back into the bed.

A tear slowly rolled down Hinata's cheek as she walked away. She returned through the door that she had came and the light in the hallway became darkness.

Something began to move in the darkness. The light shown through the hallway again. Shisui lifted his head to see if Hinata had returned. It wasn't her, but instead it was the masked man with a pony tail. The man looked at Shisui before he walked out of the door following Hinata. The darkness returned again.

The sun had barely peaked over the horizon, but Shikamaru found himself walking sluggishly down a large hallway. The large window were spaced evenly apart letting the early morning light shine in.

"Why are meetings so early in the morning? This is such a drag." Shikamaru continued down the hall.

He pushed open a door that revealed a large conference like room.

Inside of the room was Hinata, and several other individuals all wearing some form of Fox insignia. They were all sitting around a long wooden table. Naruto, the Hokage sat at the head of the table.

"Glad you could join us Shikamaru." Naruto said yawing.

"Funny you say that because you just got here yourself." A man wearing a furry hood said slyly, he scratched the red paint marks on his face.

Shikamaru moved slowly until he finally arrived at his seat next to the Hokage. Hinata sat directly across from him.

"Now we shall begin. How do you guys think we should set example with the two criminals?"

"I think we should hang them your majesty, nothing sets fear into the hearts of peasants like a good hanging." one member of the table interjected.

"Hanging? come on baby are we in the 1800's we have guns, we have acid, lets use guns and acid." the man with the red marks on his face said.

The table erupted in agreeing murmur.

Shikamaru shook his head and sighed. He looked up at Hinata who turned her head looking off in the distance.

"Then it's settled, we will use guns and acid to teach a lesson to the people that no one should disobey the Fox regime."

The members of the table nodded in agreement.

"You're highness allow me to adjust your plan." Shikamaru said while looking at Hinata.

Hinata turned her head to look at Shikamaru.

"Yes what is it Shikamaru." Naruto said. Everyone's attention was now on him.

"How about we not kill the only lead we have to the whereabouts of the rebellion?"

"What are you talking about, are you an idiot?" The man with the red marks on his face said.

"Shut up Kiba. I am the Hokage not you." Naruto growled as if he was a lion.

Kiba's head dropped.

"Well those two clearly have ties with the rebellion, how about we let them lead us to them."

"So you're suggesting that we let them go." Naruto said angrily.

"No, what i'm saying is how about we exile them to the waste and follow them in secrecy to see where they go, if they lead us to the rebellion, perfect, we end it, if they don't they won't survive 2 days out there by themselves."

Naruto began to rub his cheek, "That is a great plan, but an example still must be set. For that we will kill one of them and let the other one lead us to the rebels." The table erupted in an agreeing murmur again.

"Yea we should kill that one boy who hurt Ibiki." The table erupted even louder.

"No!" Hinata said jumping up from her seat. Everyone directed their attention towards her.

"Hinata, you have another idea then?" Naruto said patronizingly.

"When did you become so cruel? Why does a life have to be taken for you to set an example. Ever since mom died you've been a tyrant!"

The mood of the room changed. Naruto's face turned to anger as he got out of his seat calmly.

"I am the Hokage, and I shall stop wars and fighting for years to come. If that means taking a life to make everyone obey, then I will even take the life of my own wife."

"You're a murder!" Hinata yelled; her tears began pouring uncontrollably.

*Smack* Naruto sent Hinata flying into the wall.

"You may be my daughter, but if you refer to me as something other than Hokage again I will make sure you're mouth never says anything else."

Hinata laid on the floor crying violently.

"Ehh umm, Great Hokage sir she might have a point." Shikamaru said not attempting to get out of his seat.

Naruto turned to Shikamaru aggressively, "Shikamaru what is this?"

"Umm what I'm trying to say is if you kill one of these boys from one of the lower districts, you could cause our citizens to resent you."

"Then we can kill them all, all who disobey!" Naruto said violently.

"He does have a point Mr Hokage sir." A blond haired lady said, "It would be better to have citizens that obey by free will than to have them start rebellions every where, I think we all could agree to that." The table forced a agreeing murmur.

Naruto sat down in his chair, "grrr very well the criminals will be exiled to set an example and then we shall crush the rebellion once they reveal their location."

Shikamaru was about to let out a sigh of relief when Naruto spoke again, "However there is one condition, one member of this room must head the investigation party, any nominations?"

The room grew quiet as the members of the table shared glances with each other.

"Please don't say me." Shikamaru said under his breath.

"What did you say Shikamaru?" Everyone's eyes turned to Shikamaru once again.

"uhh I was saying that uhhh," He looked around the room to find a suitable nomination until his eyes landed on Kiba; Shikamaru squinted as he chuckled, " I nominate Ki..."

"I'll go." Hinata stood up and spoke before Shikamaru could finish.

Everyone looked in her direction shocked.

"What?" Naruto said growling, "Why should I let you go?"

She looked at the ground before she spoke, "I want to make you forgive me for my disrespect."

Naurto looked at her, "No, I will not let you go"

"Dad! please I can never forgive myself if I don't do this."

Naruto, grew silent. He then looked at Shikamaru, "What do you think?"

Shikamaru scratched his head and then looked at Hinata who stared back with her puppy dog eyes, "She did disrespect you sir, this will be the perfect way for her to regain your praise as well as prove to you that she can handle herself."

Naruto turned to look back at Hinata, "Very well you will lead the investigation, but until the rebels have fallen, I will disown you as my daughter."

Hinata began to sob.

Naruto stood up from his chair, "This meeting is over, announce to the people the news of their exile and prepare the criminals. Shikamaru make sure that Hinata and her troop have everything they need. only 2 others are allowed to go with her. The exile shall take place at noon."

Naruto said no more as he walked out of the door. It closed coldly behind him. The other members of the meeting followed not too far after him.

Shikamaru walked over to Hinata who was still standing in the same position.

"Now now, young princess, you got what you wanted. Prepare yourself." He pat her on the back before he walked to the door.

Itachi sat in the bed as Shisui paced back and forth in the glass cell. Itachi squinted, his freshly opened eyes struggled to stay open as the bright light from the sun outside blurred his vision even more than it already was.

"What are we going to do Itachi?"

Itachi shook his head.

"You know if you didn't over do it yesterday, we could have been out of here already." Shisui said annoyed.

"Yea yea, you couldn't do it without me any way." Itachi said back.

The door to the hallway opened.

A larger group of Fox Swat headed by Shikamaru came walking towards the cell.

"Goodmorning."

The boys said nothing as they looked directly at Shikamaru.

"Well so much for a warm welcome. Anyway, you guys are being exiled, so let's get this over with."

The door to the cell opened. As soon as it parted Shikamaru's shadow stuck to Itachi and Shisui.

"Exiled?" Shisui said confused, "Too afraid to kill us?"

Shikamaru turned only his head as the group walked down the hallway, "I guess you can say Uchiha's have a way with women."

Shisui eyes widened at Shikamaru's words. His heart began to flutter as if a butterfly found its way into his chest.

The group continued down several hallways until they came up on two large double doors.

The doors opened automatically. The bright sun instantly hit the group as they walked out into the day light.

They continued to walk for some time until they heard a large murmur from a crowd.

They walked around a large wall until they saw a large crowd behind several ropes not too far away.

"Execution! Execution!" The crowd said in unison.

"Looks like everyone wants to see you guys dead.

Itachi and Shisui ground their teeth as they walked past the blood thirsty crowd.

A little distance away from the crowd, the group walked up to two massive walls that began to open when they got in front of them.

Shikamaru walked the pair out through the two doors while the Fox Swat that was with them, stayed within the walls.

"Well boys this is it. Its been a real drag."

He turned and faced them before he released the shadow possession jutsu.

For a minute Shisui and Itachi stared at Shikimaru before they walked past him on both sides.

They continued to walk as they looked forward into miles of nothing but hot scorching sand.

Shisui closed his eyes as a faint wind hit his face. "No more walls." he said to himself.

Both boys looked back at the walls simultaneously. Shisui appeared to be searching the walls for someone, but he didn't find what he was looking for.

Itachi did the same, his eyes narrowed as he found his someone.

A figure wearing white Hokage robes then appeared on the top edge of the wall.

Shisui and Itachi stared at Naruto for a while.

Shisui averted his gaze first before beginning to walk again.

Itachi continued to gaze at Naruto until the massive doors finally closed.

"Naruto! Naruto! Naruto!" the chanting of the crowd could be heard echoing over the towering walls.

Itachi finally turned towards the desert and began walking.

Shisui smiled to himself as his pace gradually picked up. His walking turned into a run as Itachi followed the example of his brother.

They pair of Uchiha boys ran as fast as they could off into the dry desert sun.
