Sasori got the first slap of his life from his grandma and he fell to the ground. Shiroken and Monari were watching like it was a show, meanwhile, Minato was teaching Naruto to never become like this or his mother will whoop his ass, even from heaven.
"My lord, this woman is strong. You should end your search to mate with her and further your bloodline." Tenken suddenly spoke.
*TING*
Shiroken immediately took it out and started to hit the sword on a boulder, slowly chipping it. "You useless sword, you are of no use in fights, I only keep you so you can become my steed when I get you out."
Tenken made sad noises and shut up. He'd rather not be turned into a footrest next.
Shiroken calmed Chiyo, "Talk to him as much as you want.. He will get punished according to Sunagakure's law since he is responsible for killing Suna's Kazekage and people. On another note, I have caught Orochimaru. He is the one who killed Rasa and impersonated him to start a war between Suna and Konoha. I will publicly hold his trial."
Chiyo nodded. Shiroken led the way into the village and went to his office. It was being run by the administrators he had called from the Dama Country. It wasn't that people of Suna were not talented enough to do this job, it's just that they were unaware of how the Dama Country runs, and its laws and regulations.
Hence, for now, the 4 Administrators were tasked with finding suitable candidates and start teaching them how to do this job. Shiroken's future plan was to have the world joined into one entity.
And to avoid one region from gaining too much power and one person from gaining too much control, every single employee of the World Civil Services would get transferred every 5 years across any place in the world. Since the laws will be the same everywhere, it was just a matter of doing one's job correctly.
For Shiroken, this was time to finally have a talk with Orochimaru. He brought Orochimaru to the dungeons under the Kazekage building.
At this point, Orochimaru was weak, looking paler than snow. He hadn't eaten or drank anything in the past whole week, he wasn't given anything. By now, he knew that trying to run away was futile since his current condition was a result of an escape attempt.
"So, you chase after immortality, I heard. Am I right?" Shiroken asked him.
Orochimaru was in a pitiful state and answered truthfully, "Every man desires greatness. If Lord Hashirama could regenerate, why couldn't I live forever?"
"And what did you do in your pursuit?" He inquired.
"I... I experimented. On myself, that's how I have such a healthy body. I can, in fact, make more bodies for myself. But, that's not immortality." Orochimaru said.
"Hmm... You could have tried Senjutsu, but from your face, I know you were not successful and probably quit it. Even that pervert Jiraiya is better than you. Natural Energy holds the secret to immortality. But... the children you experimented on... that's what angers me the most. Yes, I know about that." He got to the point.
Orochimaru shivered. "I... I did what I must. Even if I had not, those kids were orphans, the village could not support them anyway. And I even had permission from the village."
"What do you mean? Who permitted you to harm children?" Shiroken grabbed his snake-like throat.
Orochimaru gagged, "Uh... I-It... was Danzo..."
He let his throat go. His face became cold, Danzo was going to die now, it was decided. "Tell me everything you know about Danzo, if you omitted anything, I will not let you even die peacefully. Know this, I have the means to make you immortal, this means an eternal hell of torture."
Mind broken, Orochimaru answered, "I... I and Danzo have been partners for a long time now. I help him with his experiments to get stronger and he provides me with some test subjects and important materials.
"I had a test subject, named Shin Uchiha. He possessed a unique genetic make-up that allowed for tissue and organ transplantation with absolutely no chance of rejection.
"I was able to successfully implant multiple Sharingan over his body. Later, Danzo asked me to implant an arm on him. The arm belonged to Shin Uchiha, and it had multiple Sharingan from various Uchiha who died in wars.
"Due to the special genetic make-up of Shin Uchiha and previously gathered Hashirama's DNA, I was able to successfully give Danzo a hand full of Sharingan. That's why he keeps it covered all the time. D-Danzo desired the seat of the Hokage beyond anything, he feels that he is the only one who can lead Konoha to greatness."
"So he was delusional?" Shiroken interjected.
"We are all delusional. Every dream a person sees is delusional because that dream's chances of fulfilment are rare to none. Danzo and I have done many things that Danzo felt were good for the village but they actually made it weaker, which was fine by me.
"After the arm surgery, my plot was revealed to Lord Third, so I had to leave. But Danzo backstabbed me. Later, the Uchiha coup came. He opposed Shisui Uchiha's plan and hunted him down, taking his eye. That's why he covered his own eye socket, he has implanted the Shisui's eye.
"When Hiruzen decided to end the coup diplomatically, Danzo secretly met with Itachi and inveigled him into choosing to slaughter his clan by presenting him with the option of killing them and sparing his younger brother, Sasuke Uchiha, or letting them go through with the coup, and having them all killed as a result, with the Uchiha clan's name and reputation turned into ashes. You know what happened after that."
Shiroken sighed, "Danzo Danzo... everywhere he's involved. Like a leech sucking on the life of Konoha and at large, the world. Good job, Orochimaru. But, you shall die."
"NO! I can help you... I can do special medical tests for you. I have a lot of knowledge." Orochimaru offered.
Shiroken just got up to leave the cellar, "Enticing, but not needed. I already have people for research. And no amount of research can absolve you of your deeds."
"NOOOO... Wait... I can be of use." He cried.
"Nope... you're useless." Shiroken closed the door, turning the cellar into a dark chilling place.
Outside, Shiroken went to his office. He summoned Itachi and Shisui there. "You two. I will tell you a few things, and you two must answer truthfully."
"First you, Itachi, what did Danzo tell you which made you take such steps?"
Itachi replied, "I knew, without Shisui, there was no hope. The Uchiha clan would have been destroyed, but many would also die from the village's side. The coup was bound to fail. I was given the option, to either let the Uchiha clan's noble image remain with my brother's life, or let everyone die, with the name of the clan in the dust.
"I did not tell Hiruzen because I know how many times he looked the other way when Danzo did something wrong. I had no faith in him."
Shiroken sighed, "Indeed, I can understand why you didn't talk to him. What about your father? Did he support the coup?"
Itachi seemed conflicted, "I... yes and no. He supported the coup but likely knew what the outcome would be. He decided to go along since no matter what he said the clan would never listen."
"What about you? Shisui, how did you come about trusting Danzo?" He inquired.
Shisui sadly faced down, "I was too naive. I trusted that as an elder, he would not harm the village. But, it turned out, he always hid his personal ambitions under the guise of the village security."
Shiroken agreed, "Correct. Did you know, currently, Danzo possesses multiple Sharingan, implanted on his right arm, which was given to him by Orochimaru? It has Hashirama's regenerative DNA. This means Danzo can use these eyes. What do you think he wishes to acquire by doing this?"
Itachi coldly blurted, "A COUP?"
"A shadow coup. Danzo holds a lot of power and authority, that scoundrel Hiruzen allowed him to, so he could counter Tsunade's absolute decision making power. Truly, Hiruzen has a monkey brain, not a superior Gorilla brain. Danzo is likely to take over all authority slowly, leaving Tsunade with no power over the village, maybe except a few Jonins. Even the Anbu might betray her." Shiroken deduced.
"What will you do?" Shisui asked worriedly.
Shiroken answered with a smile, "Oh we... we will be decrypting a mystery. Do you know, Itachi, the man who calls himself Madara was actually Obito Uchiha? But, sadly there is an alien hand behind it."
Shiroken explained to them the whole thing about Otsutsuki. He didn't give the whole Chakra Fruit and Tailed beast explanation, just the one that this black being wanted to revive that catastrophe. Knowing Itachi, he would give his life to save the world. While Shisui was loyal by now.
*BOOM*
Out of nowhere, Shiroken took out a stone boulder from a scroll. "And, all that mystery starts and ends with this Uchiha Clan's shrine. This is the reason why the Uchiha clan rebelled, this is the reason for Madara's betrayal."
