"Seriously?" Sasuke asked blankly.
It took him an embarrassingly long time to honestly process what he was just told. Because, Sasuke knew Daiki. He'd come to learn his personality, what he was like, his tells, what he would and would not lie about.
And so when Daiki told him he was chosen to be the next Hokage, he knew he was not lying.
"Seriously, serious." Daiki crossed his arms.
There were many questions that came to mind right now, but the one at the forefront simple, "Why?" Sasuke wondered. He could point out his age, how asinine it was to make someone that young the leader of Konoha. Any number of things, but he settled on that.
"The balance of the shinobi world is a powder keg right now," Daiki sighed, running a hand through his hair, and Sasuke realised this really was going to be a serious discussion when he didn't make a stupid innuendo, or joke, "Our relationship with sand is tense, Orochimaru is nipping at our heels. We're at the weakest we've ever been with the loss of the Yondaime and the Uchiha clan as a whole. Cloud are constantly trying to get their hands on bloodlines and Bijuu, and pushing forward with military expansions. Iwa love their fence and will join in to bully whoever is at a disadvantage. Sometime soon, someone is going to light that fuse, and it's all going to blow the fuck up and a massive war is going to start, and the ones most likely to do it right now, are the Akatsuki, the group your brother is in."
And so it came back to Itachi. He hadn't realised it was so bad.
"The old man doesn't have the strength to lead anymore, he's too old," Daiki continued, before sighing and giving him a smile, "But, it's a different matter when there's a cocky, arrogant young new hotshot leader who is a perfect jinchuuriki, who can perfectly hide his chakra and waltz right into any enemy village without being detected, and transform and obliterate their entire village from the inside without them able to stop him."
And once again, it came back to the Bijuu. Their power truly must have been formidable, "Could you really do that?" he asked, genuinely curious.
"Yup," Daiki nodded, "All the bijuu have the ability to focus their chakra into an attack called a Bijuudama. A sphere of such dense chakra packed with so much of it, that can be charged in seconds….if I aimed straight down with it, I could destroy the entire Leaf Village in one shot."
His eyes widened, "…And this is the kind of power Itachi wants…" Sasuke swallowed. He eyed Daiki, recalling how before he'd said, Jinchuuriki were used by the villages to deter war.
He could understand why suddenly. Daiki was being made Hokage, as a threat to anyone trying to a pick a fight with the Leaf. Because, even if their opponent was stronger, it didn't matter if they couldn't stop Daiki from obliterating their home and people.
"Anyway," Daiki casually leaned on the wall in front of him, staring Sasuke in the eyes, "Because of this, I've been privy to a lot more information of stuff going on in the village, and what's happened. And I've found….a lot of shady stuff involving your clan, and around your clan. Stuff about Itachi, and that masked guy calling himself Madara."
Sasuke swallowed, suddenly almost scared of what kind of information Daiki must have found, "Tell me." he said, nonetheless.
He had to know.
"Alright," Daiki nodded, giving a sigh, before getting fully serious, "That night, when the Kyuubi broke free of the previous Jinchuuriki. It was him. See Sasuke, the Kyuubi is special, it's by far the most powerful of the bijuu, it isn't even a contest. And only people with special chakra and bodies can hope to contain it."
"So…he killed the last jinchuuriki then?" Sasuke grimaced. What else had this rogue bastard of his clan done? Not only had he controlled the Mizukage, he had been the cause of so much loss in his own village, and was responsible for the death of the Yondaime Hokage and Naruto becoming the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki.
…Someone of his clan caused Naruto's horrible life!
"More or less," Daiki nodded, "See, the Kyuubi could only be held by someone of the Uzumaki Clan. The last Jinchuuriki was Kushina Uzumaki, your mothers best friend, your godmother, and Naruto's mother."
Sasuke actually staggered back as if he was physically struck. Not only at the sudden connection between him and Naruto, but the terrible realisation….that not only had someone of his clan caused Naruto to live the life of a Jinchuuriki, and grow up hated and alone, but had also killed his mother!
A lump formed in his throat.
Daiki however continued on, "A Jinchuuriki's seal, is at the weakest in females when they're about to give birth. He snuck into the village and well, you already know how that turned out," the Hokage to be told him bluntly, "The Yondaime, Naruto's father who was with her managed to fight him off, and then together they sealed the Kyuubi inside Naruto with their last breaths, and this fake Madara was forced to retreat."
It got even worse? Naruto's father was the Yondaime!? 'So not just his mother, but my clan is responsible for his father being dead to!' Sasuke thought in absolute horror, his breath beginning to come in rapid pants.
"It didn't stop there though, this Madara wannabe came back a few years later when your brother was a genin, and slaughtered his team in front of him, forcing Itachi's Sharingan to awaken," Daiki pushed on, "And he was there that night to. It was always odd wasn't it? How Itachi managed to kill your entire clan alone, with nobody the wiser until everyone was already dead. That's because he didn't do it alone. That man was there too, he helped Itachi slaughter the Uchiha clan."
