Early in the morning, inside the Ninja Academy classroom, Naruto sat in the corner with one hand propping up his cheek, his gaze fixed on the translucent screen visible only to him—
Time until the Uchiha Clan Massacre: 12.34
...Under these circumstances, had the dutiful son... dutiful daughter still accepted Danzō's proposal?
