Chapter 7 - Chapter 7

The city of Era, it was a beautiful city where the headquarters of the Magic Council resided. It was a large town, built around a high, rocky mountain. The mountain nested the headquarters of the highest authority in the world of magic. The mountain where the city was built around was located in the heart of the city, a jagged pathway that encircled the circumference of the mountain was the entrance to the Council's headquarters. Though this town had high security and Rune Knights were posted everywhere, they had never encountered a shinobi before. Oh, if he were any mage, they would have caught him easily. They had ways of sensing magic, yes, but not chakra. It was a wonder what a Genjutsu around him could do.

Haruto bypassed the guards and entered the city relatively easily. The Magic Council really needed a more secretive location for their headquarters, a giant mountain in the center of a large city was not the best place to meet and store all their precious knowledge they gathered from all those years in power. Seriously the place was just right there, anyone with enough skill could bypass their security and access their knowledge. And that was exactly what Haruto was going to do. His goal was to find information on "Lost Magic," one of the few things he took an interest in during his time in the world. Though he was trying to start fresh, old habits die hard.

Releasing the Genjutsu around himself, Haruto walked into an alley and performed the Transformation technique and turned into the Fifth Hokage, Senju Tsunade. Walking right out, it was a really simple operation, he would simply lure one of the guards to a deserted location in the town and knock him out then use his identity to infiltrate the ranks of the Rune Knights and access some information. Haruto found his victim and drew him to a secluded alleyway asking him for help, the man was very eager to help the busty blond, his eyes flashed red as he turned over and placed the man in a illusion. Grabbing some ninja wire, he tied the man up and transformed into him. Walking out like nothing even happened, Haruto began his walk towards the mountain and into the base of the Magic Council.

Getting past security, Haruto found the place was filled with Rune Knights. Greeting some of them, Haruto found what he was looking for and snuck into the room. Of course the room was guarded heavily, they were simply easy to handle with illusions. It was amazing what the government kept from their citizens. This land was no different. The Magic Council were very powerful, yes, but they were foolish to believe their secrets were safe. Haruto found some very interesting information. The Council had some very powerful weapons in their disposal, one of them was called the Etherion. The Etherion was a powerful type of magic classified as Nation-Destroying Magic. Magic that was capable of transcending space-time, it was a very powerful weapon the Council had in their disposal. Not only that, there was one more weapon that could ruin the lives of every mage in the world. Face, a weapon so powerful that it could sap out the Magic of every mage in the world. That power alone could corrupt. And the Magic Council proved to hold too much power in their hands, if one greedy little councilman had an agenda, he could easily persuade the use of such weapons. Haruto continued to read until he heard the shouts of the Rune Knights.

They must have found the unconscious bodies. Haruto thought as he quickly shoved the files away and made his getaway. Haruto made a quick hand sign as he heard the doors leading to this room open, Rune Knghts poured into the room, but suddenly the side of the room exploded as a gaping hole was formed. Haruto had placed some explosive tags on the wall as a way of distraction, and now it was the perfect time to use it. The Rune Knights had all of their attention focused on the hole while Haruto slipped out of the room when they were still occupied with the situation he had created. The goal for him now was to simply escape unnoticed.

Haruto was walking towards the guildhall. He had arrived back in Magnolia Town a few days ago, and the news of the Magic Council's headquarters getting broken into had spread around like a wildfire. Haruto of course played it off, easily asking questions about the situation. The news had blown over a few days later, but the Magic Council were still in panic about the infiltration. They had no leads to who broke into their headquarters nor did they know what the person found.

The weapons the Magic Council held were too powerful for a single group to possess. He had to take precautions for the scenario if they ever used any of the two. He had come to love Wendy as a sister of his own, and if the Magic Council dared threaten her, he would show them no mercy. He was a Uchiha after all, their love was so great that the power behind it, if lost gave them one of the most powerful tools in the shinobi world. Their precious eyes, the Sharingan.

It was safe to say if the Magic Council ever used those weapons, he would find a way to make them pay.

Haruto was sitting at the bar in the guildhall, it was a really boring day today. Wendy had forced him to take the day off, and he had nothing to do. All he could do was drink and pray something interesting would happen. This was the day he realized an important thing in his life. He had nothing to do outside of fighting. Well considering that he trained for a majority of his life to strengthen himself to be the greatest threat in the world did not leave him time to do anything else. Sighing once more, the redhead took a sip from the mug that held the beer he ordered.

"Haruto-kun, can you come with me for a second, I need your help with something." Makarov said as he approached the bored teen.

"Of course Master." Haruto answered with a smile on his face.

Haruto followed the short man to his office upstairs as Makarov opened the door and allowed the two entry, Haruto noticed the place was littered with books and papers, not sparing a second glance at them he sat down on one of the two chairs provided. Makarov sat across from him. Due to his height, Makarov had to sit on a stack of books for himself to be visible for the redhead. Haruto had a small smile as he eyed the extremely short guild master.

"Haruto-kun, as you know the S class promotion trials are coming up…" Makarov began speaking as he waited for some kind of reaction from the redhead, "I choose the members that participate in the event each year. The fight with Laxus proved that you were strong enough, but usually a member must be here for longer than a few months."

"So I cannot participate in the trials this year?" Haruto asked as he questioned the elderly man.

"No, though you have only been in the Guild for a few months, I think we can make an exception this time around." Makarov said.

"Thank you very much Master, I will try to become an S class mage to the best of my abilities." Haruto said with a slight smile on his face.

"Though the real reason I asked you here is for something else." Makarov continued as his face became serious, "Haruto, your magic has caught the attention of the Magic Council, and they are asking about your eye magic. Can you tell me anything about it?"

"Yes, of course." Haruto replied as his face shifted to a frown, "My eye magic is called Sharingan, the magic cannot be taught to anyone but people with my blood as it is a magic born into the user. My name Uchiha is a clan, our clan all possess the Sharingan."

"So there are more Uchiha's in the world that can use the Sharingan." Makarov stated as his face adopted a thoughtful expression.

"There were more…"

"You mean…"

"Yes, the Uchiha clan is no more, and I am the only one left."
