Keldran would be met by Gardoc and the rest of the Phoenix guard who’d accompany him on the last stretch to the Hokage’s village. Thankfully the streets had quieted down a most civillians had gone back home or back to their jobs. The people had felt betrayed by the one who called them a hero and the only thing that’d sway their minds right now would be if Keldran was said to be innocent, but right now that was far from anyone’s mind. Almost anyone…. Keldran would be led into the Hokage’s office where the door would be closed behind him, after which he’d be led up the stairs towards Ikeru’s office. After entering the large circular office Hokage would dismiss everyone but Keldran before asking the son of his brother to “Take a seat.”. while Ikeru filled them both a cup of steaming hot tea made of a unique blend of herbs that Keldran’s mother used to mix for Godric and Ikeru. “For now... we’re not going to talk about anything negative. For now… we will simply remember those who helped us get to where we are now.”. Retaking his seat opposite of Keldran, Ikeru closed his eyes as he drank from the steaming cup and thought back to days when the Fuma clan thrived. “You are free to sit here as long as you wish to clear your mind. Don’t worry about anything for now, all of the frivolities, the legal issues, and god knows what nonsense, we don’t have to think about that now seeing as I don’t think you are guilty to begin with. You lost a brother, as I have recently. So let us mourn as survivors of the sword.”. Nodding his head, Ikeru cast a strong gaze onto Keldran. With everything that had happened, he knew that what this young man needed most right now was a break. “Have you eaten since your return?”. The way he asked this wasn’t like a concerned mother, but more like how a brother-in-arms would look out for those he fought and served with.



-Meanwhile, at the memorial site.-



Kei bowed back to the Hyuga and made ready to leave before overhearing O saying something about Keldran not being the real villain. Before O could say another word concerning this subject, which could get his throat cut at night, Kei weaved a quick series of handseals before closing his eyes and aiming to infiltrate the Chuunin’s nervous system in but a mere seconds; instantly paralyzing the boy and stopping him from spilling more information that really shouldn’t be talked about at this time. However, with his mastery of illusions, Kei took away the sensation of pain that’d normally be felt with the shackling stakes technique.

Within the Genjutsu, Kei would tell O that. “Eito has ears everywhere. If you speak here you will not only throw away your own life, you’ll raise suspicion of all whom are present here, and ruin all of the plans already in motion. It best to keep up false pretenses in public, which is why I had to be cruel today and treat him like a criminal. The less attention we draw, the bigger the chance of success. I can’t let you mess everything up. Restrain your tongue. We don’t yet have the luxury to speak freely or act all happy-go-lucky to see someone who the village sees as a criminal. If you really want to help do something about the corrupt bastards who are tormenting us, then swallow your pride and play along with their games for now.”. In real life the genjutsu took but seconds, while the inner dialogue would have seemed to last about a minute, aside from that the handseals were done fast while Kei held his hand behind his body so nobody would most likely even have noticed anything had happened to begin with.

The Uchiha then smiled at O, glad he was on the right side of things, and asked him to. “Stay patient” Before adding. “Justice will surely come to those who deserve it.”. Then shaking his head at the whimsical Sarutobi family that left scene, Kei thought. –That family is truly nothing but a burden huh? Ah well, I guess even burdens deserve to be treated fairly. Still… I wonder how they even became Shinobi when they have no devotion.-.

Kei would then depart as well but not before having caught a glimpse of the unusual seal on O’s neck. Something he would definitely keep in mind while slowly walking off, hoping people would FOR ONCE understand the danger around them.
